NovelEnglishChapter 254 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Emily, seeing the situation, could only slump back down by the hospital bed, feeling pretty helpless.
It wasn't until Isabella took her hand that she finally let out what she'd been holding in. "Mom, you won't believe
how outrageous Sophia was today."
Emily quickly spilled the beans about Sophia's plan to team up and frHayden.
Isabella, hearing this, didn't seem all that surprised.
Having been through a lot, Isabella knew Sophia's little schemes were no big deal, not even close to a real
business battle.
Luckily, Emily didn't take her seriously, which made Isabella feel a lot better.
Isabella said, "Sophia is Evelyn's kid. Like mother, like daughter, right? You don't need to get too worked up, and
definitely don't feel sorry for your dad."
Hearing this, Emily looked up at Isabella and said firmly, "Mom, | don't..."
Isabella smiled, still holding Emily's hand. "He's your biological father. You've called him dad for over twenty
years. It's natural to feel sorry for him, but it's not necessary anymore. Have you thought about why Sophia
cto you and said those things? "Isn't she scared that if Hayden finds out and wins, she won't be able to go
home? Sophia's pretty sharp. She's trying to kill two birds with one stone."
Emily was shocked and surprised.
How did Isabella figure out Sophia's plan from her story?
Isabella explained slowly, "Sophia only pretended to cooperate with you. If you agreed, she'd run to Hayden and
spill the beans. She'd play both sides, fooling you both, and just wait for the outcome.
"No matter who wins or loses, she'd benefit. She'd get a little from you and a lot from your dad. It's a win-win for
her. Don't you think she's smart?"
So that's how it was... Emily knew Sophia wasn't that kind-hearted.
Isabella added, "It's good you didn't agree with her. But we don't need her help anyway. Emily, don't worry. With
Hearing this, Emily was overjoyed.
She instantly turned into a cheerful little girl, leaning on Isabella.

backing her up.
Though it seemed arrogant, it was something Emily longed for.
As Emily was lost in thought, Isabella spoke again. "But Emily, you still need to find someone to help."
Emily was puzzled and looked up at Isabella. "Mom, who else do we need to find?" Isabella smiled deeply.
"Michael."
Standing outside Emerald Lake Manor again, Emily was super reluctant.
But since Isabella had spoken and given her a personally sewn scarf for Michael, Emily had no choice but to
comply, for the sake of a smooth trial and to win back everything that belonged to Isabella.
The door opened, and upon seeing Emily, Ava excitedly raised her sharp voice. "Mrs. Smith is back! It's been so
long since we've seen Mrs. Smith!"
Seeing Ava, Emily was also very happy.
After all, it had been ages since they last saw each other, and Emerald Lake Manor always felt so lifeless. If it
weren't for Ava's lively presence, Emily wouldn't have known how to get through those cold days.
Emily smiled, "Yeah, Ava, how's everything at home?"
Ava nodded, "Everything's fine."
As she spoke, Ava reached to take the things from Emily's hands. "What did you bring, Mrs. Smith?"
Emily replied, "Snutritional supplements for Michael. When he comes back tonight, you can cook sfor
him."
Ava said, "Mrs. Smith, you're so thoughtful, but Mr. Smith hasn't been back for several days."
Emily was surprised, "He hasn't been back?"
Ava nodded, "Yeah, he's been staying at the Smith Mansion these past few days, and
he's taken a lot of his stuff from Emerald Lake Manor."
Emily didn't know if this had anything to do with her.
But since she was here on business today, she didn't dwell on those irrelevant matters.
After hesitating for a while, she mustered the courage to call him.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Emily knew Michael was throwing a tantrum.
But since she needed his help, she decided to speak first, "I'm at Emerald Lake Manor."
Sure enough, he quickly responded. "What do you want?"
Emily replied, "I cto see you. Ava said you weren't here. | brought snutritional supplements for you.

Michael said coldly, "What kind of expensive supplements are they that | have to cback now to eat? I'm not
in the mood. Anything else?"
Hearing this, Emily was really fed up
with Michael's childish behavior. She

The other end quickly responded, "If it's not convenient to talk at the Smith Mansion,
we can talk outside, right? Emily, am | so embarrassing to you?"
Emily felt Michael was just looking for trouble.
But she didn't bother to argue and continued straightforwardly. "It's not convenient. So
| thought of talking to you at Emerald Lake Manor. If you're busy now, forget it. My
mom brought you a gift, but it seems I'll have to take it back to the hospital."
With that, Emily hung up the phone without waiting for Michael's response.
Listening to the dial tone, Michael was stunned.
Mom? Gift? Take it back to the hospital? Wait! Something was off!
Could it be that... her mother has woken up?
Thinking of this, Michael quickly got up from the bed and headed to Emerald Lake Manor.
Meanwhile, Scarlett and Veda were drinking red wine in the attic.
Seeing this, Scarlett was the first to speak mockingly. "Look at your anxious brother, the president of Smith
Corporation, completely lost in love, not understanding the concept of family interests at all... | think he's
hopeless!"
Unexpectedly, Veda responded with a
sarcastic remark. "The MBA program
