“What are you doing?”The bedroom was very dark. Nathan turned on the light as he entered and saw the floor covered in torn paper.Sophia froze for a moment, then gave a bitter smile. "My parents don’t know about the news yet, do they?"She didn’t answer his question. Nathan didn’t care about her emotions either.If she wanted to tear up paper, let her.“They shouldn’t know yet,” Nathan said, walking over and sitting down at a distance from Sophia, stepping on the shredded tissue paper.It was obvious he didn’t want to sit too close to her.Sophia gritted her teeth, trying hard to control her temper.On the day of the concert, she had put on her best makeup, spent money to invite many reporters, and even convinced Nathan to accompany her to the concert. Her goal was to have their loving relationship widely reported, letting everyone know she was about to become Mrs. Reed. But all her plans were ruined by Emily again!Everything had been going according to her plan until, suddenly, eve
Leaving the bedroom, Nathan walked into the study and immediately close the door behind him.He turned on his computer, logged into his email, and saw a message from a private investigator.The email contained a few photos, though not very clear, he could still vaguely see a masked man driving a car with Emily sitting in the passenger seat.He dialed a number.The call was quickly answered. "Mr. Reed.""Hmm," Nathan grunted. "Any new leads?""Yes, a bit," the private investigator, who had taken Nathan’s money, initially thought this would be a simple task, but it turned out to be quite difficult. The masked man was very cautious, doing almost everything in secret, making it hard to get any photos.However, last night he finally found a break.He had bribed a newly employed waiter at the Hilton Hotel who provided the room number of the masked man and Emily."Room 2307?""Yes," the private investigator said. "I’ve found out that it’s a presidential suite that has been rented out long-te
Nathan finally understood Grace's intentions.Grace first persuaded him to have a wedding, making him acknowledge the legitimacy of Sophia’s unborn child. Finally, she pushed him to divorce Emily and then legally marry Sophia.Nathan shook his head. "Why don’t you come work at my company? Your conversational skills are exceptional. You could work in my PR department."Grace pretended not to understand his sarcasm, but she knew what Nathan meant. He still didn’t want to divorce Emily.Having a wedding was just to create public pressure. But only after registering their marriage would Sophia have a claim to the Reed family’s assets.Nathan was not foolish; he wouldn't complete the final step of divorcing Emily. Grace had no immediate solution to this.But that was fine. Her greatest strength was patience.She had endured for over a decade by Logan Morgan’s side, and this time things would be no different. She would find her opportunity.Men shouldn’t be forced; otherwise, they would bec
This time, she touched his face more carefully.Mr. Satan had excellent bone structure. His brow bone was high, his nose straight, and his jawline sharp. Without the scar on the right side of his face, his looks would rival any male celebrity’s.Her hand gently caressed the scar. Her touch was like a feather, her fingertips warm and tender.“Are you afraid?” In the darkness, Mr. Satan's voice held a trace of tension. His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as he asked.Emily shook her head. “I’m not afraid. The scar isn’t your fault; the blame lies with the person who hurt you.”Mr. Satan stroked her soft hair and sighed contentedly. “Emily, thank you. Let’s sleep.”“Are you tired?”“No, I’m worried you might be.”Emily obediently lay in his arms and closed her eyes.In truth, she wasn’t tired. She had spent the entire day at home. This room had no internet or TV signal. Aside from cooking and sleeping, she had done nothing, so she wasn’t sleepy at all.But she knew Mr. Satan had scars not o
Emily refused again, "No need, he will tell me himself."Nathan suddenly let out a mocking laugh, "Emily, do you really trust him that much?""He's my man, the father of my child," Emily said. "You need to face reality. You're only obsessed with me. You don't really like me...""I do like you! Emily, I do like you!" Nathan suddenly rushed over, grabbing her shoulders, agitated. "Why don't you believe me? What do I have to do to make you believe?"Emily struggled, "You don’t need to do anything. We're really, really over.""Impossible," Nathan said coldly. "As long as we’re not divorced, you’re still my wife, and you will come back to me eventually."Ring-ring—Emily's phone rang.Her phone was casually tossed on the living room sofa by Nathan.Emily looked at him. "Can I answer the phone first?"Nathan stared at her for a long moment, finally releasing her.Emily quickly hid the small knife up her sleeve and slipped out to answer the phone. "Hello?""Hello, is this Emily?"It was a st
Amanda happily agreed. "Alright, I understand. I look forward to your reply."Emily nodded. "Okay."The conversation was pleasant, but Amanda found it a bit odd. Nathan, who was about to get married, appeared in a woman’s room with a menacing expression. It was definitely more than ordinary concern.However, Amanda didn't want to stir up trouble. She had achieved her goal and was ready to leave. She didn’t want to see or hear anything that could cause her trouble.Emily escorted her to the door.Before leaving, Amanda coughed lightly and softly reminded her, "A girl living alone should prioritize safety. Sometimes the oldest methods are the most effective, like using a sofa to block the door."Emily’s eyes lit up. Smart people didn’t need to say much to understand each other."Thank you, Amanda.""You're welcome. Since I also live alone, I have some experience. I mean no offense, just sharing advice. Don’t overthink it."Emily nodded. "I understand."After Amanda left, Emily closed th
Sophia suddenly reacted, terrified, "Is Nathan with you?""In a way." They were separated by a door, but technically in the same hotel."Nathan actually went to see you?! Wasn't he supposed to be at work? How is he with you?"Emily replied irritably, "That's a question you should ask him. After all, I'd love to know why he showed up here early in the morning too. And by the way, I'm on speaker, so Nathan can hear everything you're saying.""Nathan… I… I just…" Sophia's voice quivered with a hint of tears, "I was just saying things out of anger. Don't take them seriously. I thought Emily called just to gloat, and I couldn't stand it, so I said those things… none of it is true, please believe me!"No response.Sophia called again, "Nathan?""Stop calling," Emily laughed mockingly, "Sophia, stop acting. Yes, I had the speaker on, but sorry, I turned it off. If you want to explain yourself to Nathan, go ahead and call him. Also, please keep your fiancé from harassing me again."Sophia was
The land was vast, located in the city center, and Nathan had spent three hundred million dollars on it. He planned to build a large shopping center to make a substantial profit.But what did he see now?The workers who had been busy with construction were all standing aside. The excavators and bulldozers were parked off to the side, and the entire area was cordoned off. He was helpless."Boss, what should we do now?"Nathan's eyes were dark, "First, arrange a dinner with the government official in charge. Then find someone to bury some antiques on the Taylor family's land. Whatever he's done to me, I'll do to him."In the afternoon, Nathan received a call from his assistant."Boss, Mr. Davis said he can have dinner with you tonight. Where do you want to go?"Nathan sneered. He had expected the politician to refuse his invitation, but he agreed so quickly?He said coldly, "Wherever Mr. Davis wants to go, I'll go.""Okay."At 7 PM, Nathan looked at the message his assistant had sent hi
