The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 339 On the Brink of Death

"Haha, didn't see this coming, did you, Emily? Your time's up."

Evelyn's eyes were bloodshot, her face twisted with rage as she spat out the words. Emily was completely

stunned.

Tears streamed down her face as she realized she might not escape this time. Desperately, she grabbed

anything within reach and hurled it at Evelyn.

But Evelyn was stronger and more agile.

She dodged effortlessly, slashing at Emily with a sharp knife, pushing her to her limits. Emily was terrified,

frantically searching for anything to defend herself, but her hands cup empty.

Her hands trembled violently as she looked around in panic, realizing there was nothing left to throw at Evelyn.

She screamed again.

This time, it was Evelyn's turn to be thrilled.

Gripping the knife tightly, her eyes were as cold and venomous as a snake's, sending chills down Emily's spine.

Emily was frozen in place.

"Emily, it's just your bad luck today! | didn't want to hurt you, but either you or your shameless mother has to

die... You two have caused enough trouble for Hayden, and now you want to ruinand Sophia... Did you really

think you could push us around so easily?"

With that, Evelyn could no longer contain her fury. She lunged at Emily's heart with the knife, but in that instant,

Michael rushed in!

"Michael!"

Michael took the blow, having called Andrew while running up the stairs. Michael was determined to protect

Emily, even if it meant sacrificing his life.

He felt he owed her, and this was his way of repaying that debt.

So when Evelyn struck, Michael didn't hesitate to shield Emily.

As Emily screamed, Evelyn was also terrified.

The knife clattered to the floor, and she snapped back to reality, seeing the blood pouring from Michael's chest.

She turned pale, realizing she had committed murder, and stumbled back before fleeing.

On the other end of the phone, Andrew had heard everything.

He called out "Mr. Smith" while dialing 911, listening to Emily's helpless cries.

It was heart-wrenching and inescapable.

When Michael was taken into surgery, Emily and Andrew waited outside.

Andrew knew Emily wasn't in good health, and if Michael were awake, he would insist she go hto rest. So

Andrew cautiously approached her.

"Mrs. Smith, maybe you should rest in Mr. Mason Smith's room. I'll let you know as soon as there's news..."

"I'm not going anywhere!" Emily cut him off, crying.

She was on the verge of collapse, her tears never stopping.

The once gentle and composed Emily was now covered in blood, her face pale, her

voice hoarse, and her eyes flooded with tears of despair.

Andrew couldn't bring himself to persuade her further.

He could only wait anxiously with her.

Soon, Veda and Scarlett arrived.

But the surgery light was still on, and Michael was still in danger.

Veda was frantic, sweating from her rush, while Scarlett, though appearing concerned, focused entirely on Emily.

Seeing Emily crying uncontrollably, Scarlett stormed over.

"How dare you cry? You bitch!"

With that, Scarlett slapped Emily.

She was elated.

Finally, she had the upper hand.

She wanted to show Emily who had more power, especially in front of others, to see if Emily would dare stand up

to her again.

Scarlett was eager to show this off, not caring about Michael's fate. She was only concerned about her shares in

Smith Corporation. If Michael died, who would inherit the presidency?

It should be Veda, right?

Her MBA might cin handy after all.

With these thoughts, Scarlett put on a show of impatience, lashing out at Emily.

"You're the jinx who keeps getting my son hurt! And now, a knife to his heart? Emily, what are you doing? Are

you trying to kill my son? How can someone be as unlucky as you? Get out, get out now!"

Veda cared deeply for Michael and had no energy to stop Scarlett.

Besides, Scarlett's outburst was understandable in the heat of the moment. Veda was only concerned about

Michael's condition.

And Michael had indeed gotten hurt because of Emily.

Sometimes Veda couldn't understand why Emily was so disliked wherever she went. Yet Daniel treated her like a

treasure.

What did he see in her?

Her frail, pitiful demeanor?

Veda couldn't fathom it. She glanced at Emily, who was still crying, and turned to Andrew.

"From tomorrow, I'll handle all company matters. Benjamin will take care of Grandpa. You find a nurse for

Michael."

Andrew nodded but hesitated for a moment.

What about Emily?

Veda saw Andrew's look and understood. She addressed everyone present.

"No unnecessary visitors for Michael. That includes the Smith Corporation shareholders. Understood?"

Unnecessary visitors? Does that include Emily?

Andrew didn't dare respond, and Emily looked over.

She met Veda's gaze, who didn't shy away. Veda walked over, standing with Scarlett, their presence

overwhelming Emily.

Emily's heart tightened. She wanted to speak but thought of Michael fighting for his life and fell silent.

"Emily." Veda's voice was calm. "I mean no harm, but Michael's condition is uncertain. Even if he recovers, he'll

need rest. This arrangement is best for everyone. You should go hand rest; you don't look well."

Scarlett was pleased with Veda's decision.

Besides, if Veda couldn't handle everything, Scarlett could take over and manage the Smith Corporation, so they

wouldn't need the Emily's involvement.

As long as Emily didn't cause trouble, everything would be fine!
