The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 259 | Have a Witness

Emily paused for a moment, then answered seriously, "Both, | guess."

Isabella felt a sudden pang of heartache and helplessness. She couldn't imagine the timid, submissive life Emily

had endured at the Smith Mansion the Brown Villa while she was in a coma. The cold treatment she must have

faced was unimaginable.

Right then, Isabella made a firm decision. She was determined to protect Emily and make those who had

wronged her pay back double.

"Emily, | won't blyou. You're an adult now, you have your own judgment, and you have the right to pursue

your own happiness. As for the divorce with Michael, | won't interfere. If you want to leave, then leave. If you

want to stay, then stay. No one can interfere with your decision, not even Michael. Only you can make this

decision, okay?" Isabella's words were sincere and heartfelt.

Emily felt a weight lift off her shoulders, as if a dark corner of her heart had been suddenly illuminated. In this

world, only Isabella cared so much about her thoughts, about what she wanted and what she did.

"Thank you, Mom." With that, Emily threw herself into Isabella's warm embrace, starting to act spoiled, to laugh

and talk, to be herself like a child without any reservations.

The hospital room, which should have been filled with the smell of disinfectant, seemed suddenly filled with the

scent of lilies from the bedside table.

Tflew by, and the day of the final trial arrived quickly. That day, Emily wore a black coat, her hair tied up in a

simple low bun, and black patent leather high heels with sparkling rhinestones. With exquisite makeup and a

strong presence, she was the first to appear in the courtroom.

Sophia and Evelyn, sitting in the audience, were momentarily stunned when they saw her walk in gracefully.

"Why is she dressed like that?" Sophia asked nervously, recalling Michael's strange behavior that day.

Evelyn, still confident of victory, scoffed and mocked, "Why else? She knows she can't win, so she's trying to

intimidate people with her appearance. Isn't it obvious? Anyone can put on a facade, but only real skills can

win!"

Sophia turned to look at Evelyn with disdain. Evelyn, seeing this, frowned and replied, "What, am | wrong?"

Sophia couldn't be bothered to argue with Evelyn anymore and turned her head to look towards the door. Seeing

that no one was following Emily, her nervousness instantly eased.

On the stand, Hayden saw Emily sitting at the plaintiff's table and, confident of his victory, let out a disdainful

snort. His lawyer beside him asked, "Mr. Brown, is this the daughter who doesn't respect you? In all my years of

practicing law, I've rarely seen a daughter sue her own father!"

Hayden said, "Yes, you weren't here last time, you didn't see how fierce she was! It's clear she wants to set her

own father up to fail. Fortunately, | turned the tide, or else at my age, I'd have nothing left because of her!"

Hayden's voice was loud, clearly intending for everyone in the hall to hear.

Of course, Emily heard it too.

She kept her face blank, coldly staring at Hayden. Her gaze was so intense that Hayden couldn't help but feel a

bit intimidated, and he quickly looked away.

The father and daughter locked eyes for a long tbefore the trial finally began.

Hayden, confident of victory, was relaxed throughout, even following his lawyer's lead with arrogance and

smugness.

Emily, on the other hand, remained solemn.

Evelyn was the first to draw a conclusion. "Look at Emily, she looks so unlucky. | think she won't have many good

days left! Sophia, how can she be so stupid? She's lived for over twenty years, but she can't win a man's heart,

and doesn't even care about her family's dignity. Her mother is lying in bed, half-dead..."

"Enough." Sophia couldn't bear to listen to Evelyn's nonsense any longer.

Despite her words, she couldn't help but worry.

Since Emily was suing the Brown family, how could she be fighting a losing battle?

Watching Hayden commit perjury, did Emily not know how to fight back?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and Evelyn's mocking words only made her more

uneasy.

Evelyn scolded, "Sophia, you've been touchy lately! What did | say that upset you? Or have you suddenly

developed a conscience and feel sorry for Emily?

"Well, you might be too late. She's now backed by the Watson family, not the Smith family. You can't compete

with her for the sman... Actually, the Watson family isn't bad. At least they don't have as many issues as the

Smith family!

"Besides, if you marry into the Watson family, Emily will still have to live under your shadow! If that happens, our

family will prosper."

Evelyn spoke lightly, and Sophia couldn't help but ‘appreciate’ her unique way of thinking. "The Watson family?

The head of the Watson family is currently going through a divorce, and Mr. Watson has always..."

"Always what?" Evelyn pressed for details.

Reluctantly, Sophia had to cup with an excuse to brush her off.

Could she tell Evelyn that Bryan had never liked her and had always looked down on her?

Hayden, seeing this, thought Emily was joking.

At the stime, the judge asked, "Ms. Brown, is this your only evidence?"

"No." Emily finally raised her eyes, seriously staring at Hayden, causing his smile to

freeze and his guilty eyes to dodge. She continued, "I also have a witness, right outside the door. You can

summon them at any time."
