The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

"What the hell are you doing? Stop!"

Seeing Emily lunge forward, the driver quickly grabbed the steering wheel and

slammed on the brakes.

Michael's driver, following closely behind, also hit the brakes hard. Michael and Andrew looked ahead and realized they had narrowly avoided a disaster.

"What is Emily trying to do?"

"Mrs. Smith... Mrs. Smith looks like she's trying to kill herself!"

Michael was stunned by the words.noveldrama

It seemed like he had won the battle, but deep down, he knew it was just another hollow victory. When it came to Emily and the unrequited love he had for her, he was always the loser, through and through.

The next second, Michael hurriedly got out of the car, with Andrew right behind him.

The driver in the car ahead was already shouting angrily. "Where did you come from, you crazy woman? You nearly scared me to death! Get out of my car! Damn it, I don't even want the fare, just get out..."

"Emily!" Michael's shout made the driver shut his mouth.

Seeing the man in a finely tailored suit rush forward and nervously scoop the woman into his arms, the driver felt even more indignant, thinking he could get more compensation out of this.

But before the driver could say anything, Michael gave Andrew a look, and Andrew spoke up, "How much compensation do you want? We'll pay you."

Hearing this, the driver obediently closed his mouth and stopped making a fuss.

He couldn't help but glance at the man again, seeing the woman who had just gone crazy now completely unconscious in his arms, being carried into a luxury car.

The Ward Mansion

A gloomy atmosphere had hung over the mansion for days.

Leo couldn't come to terms with the fact that he had lost a family member, especially his long-lost daughter. He locked himself in his study and hadn't come out for days.

Alice had tried several times to bring him food, but it was always returned barely touched.

Luna, seeing this, couldn't help but scoff, "This is the funniest joke in the world! It's just a daughter he never met, and he's heartbroken like this. Dad is suffering in prison, and he hasn't shown any concern!

"Some people are dead, and some are still alive! He can't even tell what's important, it's really disheartening!"

Luna's words pierced Alice's ears.

She stirred the chicken soup in her bowl, but it tasted like nothing.

She was already exhausted these past few days.

Not only did she have to manage Ward Corporation, but she also had to take care of her grandfather and the Ward family.

And now, she had to deal with an ungrateful sister who didn't understand the family's difficulties and kept making snide remarks. It was truly disheartening!

Alice knew Luna was used to having her way and was a spoiled rich girl who couldn't keep her mouth shut, so she didn't plan to argue.

But her indifference only made Luna more upset.

Luna slammed down her utensils, her tone growing harsher. "Alice, don't pretend you can't hear me. I'm talking to you! That woman is dead, isn't she? What does Grandpa plan to do? Starve himself until she comes back to life?"

Alice couldn't take it anymore. "Luna, do you even hear yourself?"

Luna raised an eyebrow. Despite the somber atmosphere in the Ward Mansion these past few days, she still wore makeup and dressed impeccably, and she had carefully coordinated her outfit.

Alice, on the other hand, hadn't dressed up in days.

From the moment she opened her eyes, she was faced with endless troubles.

But Alice was willing to bear it all. As the eldest daughter of the Ward family, with Roger gone and Leo grieving, she had to step up and take on family responsibilities. But Luna... she was just too immature!

Alice scolded her, "You're calling her 'that woman,' but she was our aunt. How long has it been since she passed? And you, as her niece, think it's appropriate to dress like this? "Also, it's not even summer yet, and we're not abroad. You walk around dressed like this. Do you know you represent the Ward family..."

Alice couldn't stand Luna's words, and Luna couldn't stand Alice's nagging. Especially when it came to criticizing her clothes, it was clear Alice found everything about her displeasing.

The more Luna thought about it, the angrier she got. She stood up and shouted at Alice. "Enough! I can't even wear clothes without being criticized. Do you all think I'm full of flaws? The Ward family can't tolerate me at all, right? Alice, don't think I don't know what you're up to!

"Trying to kick me out? Take over the Ward family? Don't forget, our aunt has a daughter! She's the family's treasure, Grandpa's favorite!

"If you get rid of me, there's still her to compete with you. Don't get too happy yet, got

it?"

Alice didn't listen to the rest of Luna's harsh words.

She just found Luna's red tank top particularly jarring.

It was Isabella's mourning period, and Luna, her sister, was being incredibly

disrespectful.

Alice was about to retort when a loud voice interrupted.

"Get out!"

Both sisters jumped and turned to see Leo, looking stern and imposing, leaning on his

cane, glaring at Luna with clear disdain.

Seeing Leo emerge from his study, Luna couldn't help but tremble.

She was genuinely afraid of Leo.

So, Luna wanted to escape, to get away from here.

Seeing Luna about to go upstairs, Leo shook his cane and struck the floor heavily in response.

Luna froze, too scared to move.

She stood there, swallowing hard, as another round of scolding came from behind.

"You like causing trouble so much. Then don't expect me to tolerate you anymore! Luna, remember this. You may have grown up abroad, but you're still a Ward. If you don't want to be part of this family and treat Alice with such disrespect, then you might as well leave, sever ties with us, and go wherever you want!"

Leo's meaning was clear: he didn't want to acknowledge Luna as his granddaughter anymore.

Luna never expected that she would actually be kicked out of the house by Leo.

This meant she was truly cut off from the Ward family inheritance!

This situation was getting out of hand.

Alice, seeing this, realized the severity and quickly pleaded for Luna.
