The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 514 Apologize Again

Even though Evelyn was under police control, she was still a psychiatric patient and cannot be given severe

punishment.

The mental hospital had no idea how she managed to escape, and Michael had a huge argument with them over

i)

One day, Veda cto the office. "Michael, where are you going?"

She saw Michael hurriedly packing up his desk, then changing into a suit, clearly ready to head out.

But the Monday meeting was in ten minutes, and as the CEO, he couldn't just skip it.

This was already his fourth absence, and if this continued, even the new interns wouldn't recognize him.

But Michael seemed completely indifferent to it.

"I have an urgent matter to handle," he said, rushing to leave.

Seeing this, Veda took a deep breath, unable to contain the anger she'd buried deep inside. "Michael!"

Michael stopped in his tracks and turned around.

Veda continued, "How long are you going to keep neglecting your duties?

"The other day, you went to JM Jewelry Company. | thought you were there for business, but you were actually

helping Emily take leave and even becthe guarantor for two of her projects? Are you out of your mind? You

know she's not mentally fit to handle projects! Being her guarantor is just asking to lose money!

"Yesterday, you went to Emerald City Psychiatric Hospital and caused a huge scene with the doctors there. |

heard you even got the Emerald City TV station involved? What are you trying to do? Becmore famous than

Jessica, appearing on TV every day?"

Though Veda's words were a bit exaggerated, Michael's nhad indeed been trending on social media these

past few days.

Coincidentally, Jessica's new show was airing, and she had been complaining to Veda about it.

But knowing Michael was standing up for Emily, Jessica understood and even asked Veda to visit the hospital on

her behalf and bring sflowers.

Initially, Veda had considered it. But now, she was completely consumed by work. Smith Corporation wasn't just

hers! They couldn't let the entire company cto a standstill because of Emily!

There were many projects waiting to be pushed forward, and the employees were all watching Michael's every

move.

If another incident occurred, causing a stir, Veda couldn't imagine if she could keep things under control.

Michael was silent for a moment, looking at Veda with a complex expression.

"Veda, I'm partly responsible for Emily's condition."

If he had said this to the old Veda, who rarely left her home, she might have believed him.

But now, after working at Smith Corporation for so long and meeting so many different people, she knew better.

She understood the situation and knew what kind of family Emily cfrom.

So facing Michael now, Veda appeared to have seen through everything, her expression solemn and her words

cold.

"Michael, stop deceiving yourself. Do you think this will make her grateful? It won't. Her condition is partly

related to you, but you need to prioritize and not blyourself for everything!

"Previously, Sophia cto you for revenge, causing Smith Corporation to be caught in a media storm. That was

partly your fault, but what about this time? Her stepmother cto bully her, is that also because of you?"

Veda couldn't help but feel angry. After being in business for so long, she now viewed everything through a lens

of profit.

"If you keep this up, what will happen to Smith Corporation? Are you going to make your employees pay for

Emily's family issues?"

Veda usually didn't say much, but Michael had gone too far.

He was constantly running around, neglecting company affairs, and the employees were talking, project progress

was being delayed.

Veda knew that if this continued, the foundation of Smith Corporation would be shaken. How could she not be

anxious?

"Veda, your words are too harsh," Michael's face remained dark.

"Harsh? Harsh is better than watching Smith Corporation go bankrupt!" Veda pressed on. "Michael, I'm not

exaggerating or trying to stop you, but you need to consider the

many employees of Smith Corporation, each one representing a family!"

Veda reasoned with him, her eyes moist and her voice slightly choked.

In just a few seconds, Michael's resolve wavered.

He finally settled down for a day, started handling the backlog of documents, held emergency meetings, and

worked to recover the delayed progress.

Meanwhile, Archibald found tto visit Emily.

He knew Michael had been there constantly, and he had been dealing with Dean's matters, so he hadn't wanted

to intrude.

Today, Michael wasn't there, only Abigail was keeping Emily company, so Archibald arrived with a bouquet of

vibrant lilies.

"I thought you might like these, so..." he said softly.

Emily was in a good mood today, thanks to Abigail.

But when she saw Archibald, her mood visibly dropped. She looked at the flowers in his hand with a complex

expression, forcing a smile but clearly not wanting to take them or have them near her.

Abigail noticed and understood Emily's feelings, so she took charge. "Give them to me! Emily can't stand the

smell, but she appreciates the gesture."

Abigail raised her eyebrows at Emily, who immediately caught on and forced a smile at Archibald. "Yes, I'm a bit

allergic to pollen. Abigail likes them, so she can take them."

Archibald understood their meaning but let them be.

He nodded, and Abigail took the flowers and left.

A gentle breeze blew through the window, and Emily's expression changed momentarily.

Archibald couldn't hold back any longer. Looking at the face he had been longing for, he finally spoke. "Are you

still mad at me?"

Emily found Archibald's question absurd. "Why would | be mad at you?"

She had been thinking too much these past few days and didn't want to overthink

now, her attitude towards Archibald was somewhat cold.

But this coldness made Archibald overthink, blaming himself for everything. "About Dean..."

Before Archibald could finish, Emily interrupted, "I don't remember that anymore." Her response was light and

indifferent, as if the matter had happened a century ago and she had long moved on, while those with a heart

still held onto resentment. Seeing Archibald standing there speechless, Emily took a deep breath.

The scratches on her hand were still red, and looking at them, she suddenly felt they were particularly glaring.
