Chapter 319 Assuming Control
"Mom, you..."
"How long were you planning to keep this from me?" Isabella interrupted her.
Seeing Isabella's righteous and stern expression, Emily suddenly remembered the pregnancy report she had
checked at the hospital was still in the bedroom. She suddenly understood something and was about to
cautiously test the waters. Isabella's eyes were already gradually turning red.
"Mom, | wanted to tell you, but I just couldn't find the right opportunity."
Emily's voice trembled slightly. She knew the truth she had been hiding would eventually cto light.
Seeing this, Isabella took a deep breath, trying to calm her emotions.
"Emily, I'm your mother. Even Abigail knows about this, and you've kept it fromfor so long. When were you
planning to tell me? When your belly got big? When it started to show? Or..."
Isabella knew that when she got anxious, her words could becharsh. She feared Emily wouldn't be able to
handle it, so she stopped herself, but after thinking about it, she couldn't hold back.
After all, this was something they, as mother and daughter, had to face together.
"Emily, have you thought about the fact that you are still Michael's wife? If Michael doesn't acknowledge this
child, and with his mother who loves to stir up trouble, how will you live your life in the future? What will happen
to the child once it's born? Your hesitation and indecisiveness will ultimately harm you!"
"How will you live your life in the future? What will happen to the child once it's born?""Your hesitation and
indecisiveness will ultimately harm you!"
Isabella's eyes was filled with tears. She grabbed Emily's hand and continued emotionally. "I know you have your
difficulties, but as a family, we should face them together."
Isabella knew that Emily had taken her words to heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo matter where or when, Emily was always her most proud daughter.
But despite this, Isabella's tone still revealed a hint of disappointment.
Emily also felt a wave of guilt. She knew her mother's worries and concerns. "I... | thought you would worry, so |
didn't dare to say anything."
"The child is Michael's. We're about to get divorced, and | decided to keep the chird. Mom, I'm very scared,
extremely scared. | often can't sleep for several nights in a row. | really didn't know how to tell you." Emily finally
mustered the courage to confess everything.
"Afraid | wouldn't agree?" Isabella seized the moment to ask.
Seeing Emily's seemingly calm belly, which could bring endless trouble at any moment, she took a deep breath,
as if recalling something from a past life, and continued, "When | gave birth to you, your father and | were
already estranged, having countless conflicts."
"At that time, | thought, even if | divorced your father, | would definitely keep you by my side. You were the
treasure | exchanged my youth for, my only hope. I just wanted you to be well, and | never regretted living with
you."
"On the contrary, | am very grateful that you madeyour mother, that | had the chance to raised you, and
that you you've stayed by my side..." Isabella's eyes gradually blurred.
Seeing that, Emily handed her a tissue to wipe her tears.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried uncontrollably.
Emily never expected Isabella to support her decision so much.
This child belonged to the Smith family, and Scarlett often mocked her for not being able to get pregnant. If the
child were born not knowing who its father was, it would be absurd.
But it was precisely this absurdity that gave Emily hope.
She didn't know what her future would be like after leaving the Smith family and divorcing Michael.
But today, Emily realized, as Isabella said, the child was hers, and hers alone.

"Mom, | promise, no matter what happens, | will face it with strength."
Emily raised her head, her eyes shining with determination. Despite the unknown future, she was determined to
overcdifficulties with Isabella.
Isabella also admired Emily's strength and courage.
She knew that such courage was not something everyone had. At that moment, Isabella seemed to see her
younger self.
This was also the ultimate reason why she resolutely agreed to let Emily have the child. Isabella felt guilty for not
doing enough for Emily and felt immense pain for her. She silently vowed to protect Emily and her grandchild
even more in the future.
She would never let people like Scarlett bully them.
Just then, someone knocked on the door, interrupting the mother-daughter moment. Isabella went to open the
door first, only to be immediately detained, accused of intentional harm. Emily, hearing this, becanxious
and pulled the police to ask for details.
The police ignored her, only showing an arrest warrant and coldly saying to Emily. "The Smith family reported the
case. They claim Mr. Mason Smith's injury is related to Ms. Isabella Taylor. We need to take her back for
investigation."
Hearing this, Isabella immediately understood that it must be that venomous woman behind this.
She had thought it was better to avoid trouble, but now trouble had cto her! Thinking of this, Isabella
hurriedly said to Emily.
"Emily, don't worry. Go to the hospital, go to the hospital right now, and keep an eye
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmon Mason's condition. Don't let anyone with ill intentions harm him, and take care of yourself."
Isabella was taken away by the police car.
This left Emily momentarily stunned.
In her panic, Emily remembered Isabella's words and immediately set off for the hospital.
But Mason never woke up, and no one could prove Isabella's innocence. Michael was
too busy with the hospital and the company to handle everything.
Helpless, Emily could only stay at the hospital.
Meanwhile, Scarlett had returned to the Smith Mansion, taking control.
With Mason absent and Michael busy with the hospital and company, he hadn't been hfor days.
Veda was either at the hospital or studying in her room, unable to manage the household affairs.
The house was in chaos, and someone needed to take charge.
Scarlett took the opportunity to asscontrol.
Ignoring what others thought, she commanded people according to her whims, even calling servants who had
already gone to bed to make her mulled wine and prepare a
hot milk bath in the middle of the night.
In the short term, it was manageable.
But over time, the entire Smith family was in an uproar.
Seven went to Benjamin to complain, asking him to intervene.
