Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 143 The Awkward Dinner
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

As soon as Nathan finished speaking, James Taylor's smile vanished instantly.The land Nathan referred to belonged to him. Mr. Satan had sold it to him at half the market price, and he planned to build a shopping center there. Nathan clearly hoped his project would fail too.Mr. Davis frowned thoughtfully for a moment and seemed to agree, "Nathan makes a valid point. We should indeed investigate. Mr. Taylor, what do you think?"James Taylor was a bit troubled, "There shouldn't be anything on my land.""Mr. Taylor, you just said you admired me. Why are you refusing now? What if there are artifacts under your land? Are you going to stop people from researching American history?" Nathan sneered, staring at James Taylor.James Taylor laughed helplessly, "You don't have to say it like that."Nathan spoke candidly, "Don't play dumb with me. We both know what's going on with my land. Mr. Satan knows even better. You two are making things difficult for me, do you expect me to just take it lik
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 145 He Got Angry
From the beginning, this dinner was doomed to end in discord.Nathan stood up, sneered, and directly walked out the door. James Taylor tried to stop him but only said a few words without making any effort. As Nathan left, he couldn't be bothered to act anymore and happily drank his red wine."Taylor, what's going on with Nathan?" Mr. Davis glanced at Emily and then at James Taylor, "What's all this about?"James Taylor smiled, handed Mr. Davis a glass of wine, and chuckled, "Nothing. Nathan is a young man, a bit too impulsive and not rational enough. We understand him…"Mr. Davis, although a bit old-fashioned, was not stupid. He could infer some information from their conversation. Nathan's furious departure had something to do with Emily.Could it be that Emily and Nathan were once a couple? Did Emily abandon Nathan and find a new man? Affairs of young people are indeed complicated.Mr. Davis frowned and clinked glasses with James Taylor, "Nowadays, many women are always looking for

Leonardo da Vinci? He's undoubtedly one of the most famous painters in history. Even with money, his paintings are practically unobtainable now.Mr. Davis and Mr. Taylor's attention was immediately drawn to the painting on the phone. Emily finally breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking she had escaped the awkwardness, but then she nearly choked on her drink in surprise again."My goodness!!! This painting looks authentic! Let me see it…"Emily watched Mr. Davis, his eyes shining, and then glanced at the water stains on her dress, sighing softly.With or without Nathan, this dinner was destined to be disrupted.Mr. Davis moved closer, sitting very near to Mr. Satan. His eyes were red with emotion, "This painting…""Is it real?""I'm ninety percent sure it's authentic," Mr. Davis almost cried, "I never thought I'd see an original one painted by da Vinci."Mr. Satan smiled as he put his phone away, "If you'd like to see it, I'll have the painting sent to your home tomorrow."Mr. Davi

Nathan stormed back to the Reed family's villa, his entire being radiating anger."Nathan, my son, weren't you going to work? Why are you back? Nathan, Nathan! Why aren't you speaking?"Carol followed him to the stairs, but Nathan didn't even turn his head. He went straight into the study.Bang—The door slammed shut, scaring Carol back.

In the past few days, Olivia has been extremely happy, and she hasn't even been late.Seeing her joy, Amanda smiled too: "Emily is coming to be Lucas's makeup artist.

Emily nodded gently, her voice soft, "I'll tell Lucas how much you love him, but you are still students. At this time, you should be in class, not here.""I know skipping class is wrong, but I just wanted to see Lucas...""I understand," Emily glanced at her watch, "It's still early. When I'm doing his makeup later, I'll try to have him face every direction for a bit, so you can all see him. But after you've seen him, you need to hurry back to school. You've already missed your morning classes, but you must go back for the afternoon ones."The young girl was moved to tears: "Okay! You are so kind..."Emily gave her a reassuring look, "The opportunity to study is really precious. Many people can't continue their education for various reasons. You have such a great chance right now, you should cherish it. Liking Lucas and studying are not in conflict. If you get into a top university one day and proudly say, 'I'm a fan of Lucas,' I think Lucas will be even happier."The girl smiled shyl

"Three years ago, I nearly died." Emily snatched her passport back from Sophia’s hand. "This British couple is my family. They’re good people. They saved me and took me to England."She held the passport firmly. "And yet, you still wouldn’t let me go. You went to every length to forge my death certificate.""Do you all want to know why they wouldn’t leave a ‘dead’ woman alone?" Emily let out a bitter laugh. "Because this was their only chance to inherit the wealth I left behind.""I didn’t die; I’m alive and back to reclaim what’s rightfully mine. This time, no one will hurt me.

Finally.”Emily smiled through her tears. “Yes, I’m finally your wife.”Vincent turned with Emily still in his embrace, facing the crowd. “Emily and I are together now, and nothing will ever come between us again.”The guests watched, Meggie wiping tears of joy from her eyes.But Sophia wasn’t about to let things end on such a perfect note.

Emily suddenly felt super self-conscious. “Fine, I’ll drink it. But after I’m done, go back to your office!”With that, she tilted her head back and gulped down the entire glass of lemon water in one go. She quickly shoved the empty glass back into Vincent's hands, saying, "There, all done!"Vincent's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Great. Come to my office at lunchtime," he said with a hint of mischief.Emily frantically tried to signal him with her eyes, mouthing, “People are watching!”Vincent seemed completely unfazed and continued, “It’s freezing outside, so don’t go out. I already asked Dylan to pick up lunch for us; he’ll bring it up, and we’ll eat together.”“...Okay.”He’s gotta be done now, right? Emily thought to herself, hoping he’d leave before the entire office saw this unfold live.“Oh, one more thing,” Vincent added nonchalantly, “Don’t rush off after work. We’ll swing by and pick up your uncle first, then head to my place for dinner with my dad and Meggie.”Emily blink

As soon as Allen left the hospital room, Jackson turned pale and, with a sudden heave, threw up everything he’d just eaten, leaving a mess on the floor.The young nurse, no older than twenty, panicked and rushed toward the door to call a doctor, but Jackson stopped her. “Stay,” he commanded.The nurse looked at him with wide eyes, almost on the verge of tears as she saw his ashen face. “Sir, if you’re unwell, you really should let the doctor check—”“I’m not unwell,” Jackson replied, his voice cold, with a glint of harshness in his eyes. The nurse flinched slightly at his intense gaze.“Are you scared of me?” he asked, a smirk playing on his lips.“N-no, not at all,” the nurse stammered, shaking her head. “It’s just…”“Don’t worry about it,” he said, a faint sneer forming. “Fear is natural. I’ve never been the nicest person, and I don’t pretend to be.”“Oh no, you’re a good person, sir! You… well, you pay me well,” she replied hesitantly.“Money alone doesn’t make someone good,” Jacks

The projects across the company were running smoothly. Ken managed the technical aspects, and Daniel handled administration and overall decision-making. Even during Satan's three-year absence, The Great Wall Group retained its position as New York’s leading business powerhouse.As Emily browsed the recent news on her phone in the car, it was clear the city was engulfed in Christmas cheer, bright and bustling.Satan glanced over. “Any plans for Christmas?”She paused. “Not really. I’ll probably just stay in and watch TV with Bert.”He nodded without pressing further. Emily wondered what had prompted him to ask; he’d usually spend Christmas with his family.A slight smile crept across her face, but her expression held a tinge of sadness. The people in her life seemed to be growing fewer by the year. Christmas used to be difficult but joyful, a shared warmth despite the hardships. This year, it felt especially lonely. Sophia had long severed ties with the family, and William was gone. It

Jackson cut her off. “Then let me take you to meet my family! You’re amazing—they just don’t know you yet. Once they do, they’ll definitely support us being together. That way, we won’t have to choose, and we can stay together, right?”“What if they still don’t agree?”“I’ll talk to them. I’m committed to you for life. They’ll have to come around, whether they agree or not!”Emily couldn’t help but laugh. “But I don’t agree.”Jackson felt a pang of panic. He tried to sit up to reach her hand, but his body was still confined by the plaster, immobilizing him completely, and he was forced to lie back down. “Emily, are you worried because my parents don’t like you? If I love you, their initial reservations don’t matter; they’ll come to accept it.”“That’s part of it,” Emily admitted, “but there’s a more important reason…”A sinking feeling came over Jackson. “…What is it?”……Weather forecasts are rarely reliable, but this time, it turned out to be spot on.By evening, the sky was filled

Emily didn’t say anything, but her mind was a mess.“You don’t need to say so many sentimental things,” she replied softly. “For Meggie’s sake, I’ll go through with the wedding. Don’t worry.”“But I don’t want a fake wedding,” Satan replied. “I want it to be real.”The elevator stopped on the ground floor.Emily stepped out first, and unlike the warmth of the room upstairs, cold snowflakes were now drifting down outside, and the air felt sharp against her skin, like knives slicing across her face.Standing at the Hilton’s entrance, she asked, “Did you drive here?”“I took a cab.”“Did you sneak out again?”Satan shrugged with a wry smile. “Dylan’s been keeping too close an eye on me.”With no other option, Emily walked to the curb and flagged down a taxi for him, signaling for him to hurry up.“To St. Mary’s Hospital, please,” she instructed, then turned back to him. “When you get there, have Dylan call me to let me know you arrived safely, okay?”He nodded. “And what about you?
