The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains
Chapter 142 The Inferno Inside the Car

The vibe in the car was super awkward.

Sophia could only catch glimpses of Michael through the rearview mirror.

Plus, Jessica and Bryan were sitting right between them.

Sophia was fuming inside but kept telling herself, 'Just hang in there. Once we get to the restaurant, I'll sit next to Michael. Let's see who can stop me then...'

Sophia's eyes drifted back to the rearview mirror.

Out of nowhere, she saw Jessica making faces at her, saying, "Always got your eyes on someone else's husband, huh? No shame at all!"

The driver was the Watson family's old servant.

Jessica knew this, so she didn't bother to keep her voice down.

Besides, everyone in the car was her best friend, except for the woman in the front passenger seat.

So, all her anger was aimed at Sophia. "We're in public today, so I can't drag you to the river and push you in. But next time, don't let me catch you messing with Michael or bullying Emily, or I won't be so nice." Jessica's threat was crystal clear. But Sophia didn't care and wasn't scared at all.

She let out a cold snort and immediately put on a pitiful look in front of Michael. This time, she even dragged Emily into it. "Why are you being so harsh? We don't even know each other, and you're already threatening me like this... I'm Emily's sister, a relative of the Smith family. Why can't I sit with my own family? But your words sound like you want to kill me. Do your fans know you're like this?"

Jessica really hit a wall this time. Sophia was cursing her indirectly while crying pitifully, making her look very sympathetic!

"You two-faced bitch..." Jessica wanted to snap back, but she suddenly remembered what Sophia had just said.

Emily's sister? So this woman was not only Michael's new girlfriend but also Emily's sister? What kind of twisted relationship was this!

Jessica immediately turned to the innocent-looking couple. "What is going on here?"

With things at this point, Emily had nothing to hide. Plus, the two people present were Michael's childhood friends. It was a good chance to show them how outrageous Michael had become! Since he didn't feel ashamed, she didn't see why she couldn't speak up!

Filled with anger, Emily began to explain. "She is my half-sister, Sophia, and she is indeed in a relationship with Michael."

"We've already broken up." As soon as Emily finished speaking, Michael immediately followed up.

But Sophia quickly interjected, "I didn't agree, so it doesn't count as a breakup! Michael, you told me you were about to divorce Emily. We are in a normal relationship!"

'Wait? Divorce? Normal relationship? What kind of love triangle is this?' Jessica's head was completely spinning.

Luckily, there was a smart person beside her, Bryan.

Throughout the commotion, Bryan hadn't said a word, but he had heard everything. He closed his eyes, crossed his arms, and suddenly said, "Miss in the front, I want to sleep. You better say less, or I'll have the driver drop you off here." This made Sophia even more furious. "Drop me off here? Mr. Watson, you think you can just do whatever you want because this is your family's turf? I'm a guest invited by your grandmother. We have several layers of connections. Don't tell me the Watson family doesn't want to collaborate anymore..."

Before Sophia could finish, Bryan laughed. His voice was so smooth that it even made his laughter sound appealing. "Whether you cooperate with the Watson family or not has nothing to do with me, as I'm not the one doing business." As soon as he finished speaking, the tension in the car ramped up again.

Emily remembered Jessica's words, knowing that Michael and Bryan had a big fight over the business cooperation between the Watson and Smith families.

Unconsciously, she looked at Michael, whose face was very unpleasant.

Bryan continued, "Also, you keep saying this is our first meeting. Jessica is a public figure, so it's not surprising you know what she does. But I just got back to the country yesterday and have never met you, yet you know I'm from the Watson family and my relationship with Mrs. Watson. You're quite something, Ms. Brown."

With these words, everyone was stunned.

Jessica looked at Bryan with an admiring expression. Bryan shouldn't be participating in some game competition abroad; he should open a private detective agency in Emerald City! That would definitely make money, maybe even surpass the Watson family's business.

Jessica said, "Yeah, how did you know? Did you investigate all of us beforehand? Is your love for Michael so purposeful that you had to check out everyone around him first?"

"I didn't, Michael, you have to believe me, I didn't..." Now, Sophia was at a loss for words.

Michael listened the whole time. His relationship with Bryan was already tense, and now he was even more impatient. "Shut up. I'll say it one last time, if you keep making noise, get out and go back to the Brown Mansion. If the Brown family has any complaints, let Hayden come to me."

With Michael's words, there was silence.

So, under Jessica's angry glare and Bryan's indifference, Sophia had to turn her head and sit quietly in the front seat, sulking.

As for Emily, she stared out the window the whole time. Even when she noticed Michael glancing at her from time to time, she didn't look back, just kept a cold expression.

Soon, they arrived at the restaurant. It was one of the top international restaurants in Emerald City.

Mabel had spent a fortune to book the entire place for her birthday party. So, on this day, the Watson family reigned supreme.

Faced with Bryan's warning, Sophia was even more furious but had no outlet. She could only follow behind the group the whole time.

Michael couldn't stand Emily's cold face for long and was soon called away by others.

Jessica, who originally couldn't stand two-faced people and was a guardian of Michael and Emily's love, kept a close eye on Sophia to prevent her from getting close to Michael and causing chaos. Only Bryan and Emily were left. Both were introverted, neither socializing nor chatting, so they sat together like silent hermits.
