Logan Morgan didn't want to say more and took Herry to the study to watch Transformers.Only Grace and Sophia are in the living room.Grace sighed, "Logan Morgan has the two most cherished things in life: his son and his reputation. These are the things he values most. You must never cross him."Sophia nodded."Mom, isn't there any way to completely defeat Emily? She knows too much, and so many people have a particularly good impression of her now. I'm afraid that one day she will reveal all the secrets she knows..."Emily not only knew many secrets, but she was also a secret herself. She and Nathan weren't divorced yet, and her father was Logan Morgan. If Emily revealed all these things, all of Sophia's previous efforts would be for nothing.Grace said, "You need to keep a low profile for now. Nathan hasn't mentioned canceling the wedding yet. There's still room for maneuver.""Mom...""Enough, let me think."...In the CEO's office at Starlight Entertainment.Olivia was lying on the
Olivia hadn't decided what she wanted for lunch, so she changed her approach and decided to find the most expensive restaurant.As an employee, her lunch expenses could be charged to the company account. That meant she could spend Allen Parker's money openly. It was pure joy!Emily, being pregnant, couldn't eat seafood, and French cuisine was too greasy for them, so they finally decided on a high-end Chinese restaurant that primarily served Cantonese cuisine.Cantonese food is light and nutritious, making it perfect for pregnant women.Olivia ordered several expensive dishes and handed the menu back to the waiter. She smiled and said, "Emily, you should always bring me along when you go out for lunch."Emily nodded, "Sure, but I think the free lunch at the company is pretty good, and it saves time.""Have you been very busy lately?"Emily took a sip of lemon water, the sour taste helping to suppress her nausea somewhat. She replied to Olivia, "I want to study architectural design."Ol
The next morning at 6 AM, Mr. Satan woke Emily up.They arrived at the gynecological hospital they had booked by 7 AM.The private hospital wasn't crowded, so they completed the checkup smoothly.At noon, they had lunch at a nearby restaurant, and in the afternoon, they picked up the examination report.The doctor smiled, "Don't worry, both the mother and baby are very healthy."Emily was still a bit concerned, "Doctor, can you tell me if the baby's position is correct?""Everything looks great, no issues. Why do you ask?"Emily signed slightly, "My mother had an issue with the baby's position, which caused severe bleeding and she passed away while giving birth to me. It makes me a bit scared."The doctor was surprised, "Incorrect positioning shouldn't cause severe bleeding. Usually, severe bleeding is due to an ectopic pregnancy, but ectopic pregnancies can't reach nine months. Which hospital did your mother give birth at?""St. Mary's Hospital," Emily replied."That's a well-known h
Emma Green.Emily remembered that name.The doctor who diagnosed her infertility was also Emma Green.If she connected all these dots…Emily couldn't help but feel a chill run through her body.If Grace had planned all of this, then her scheme was truly diabolical…"Emily, are you okay?""I'm fine."Emily's expression was resolute. She was no longer the timid housewife she once was.If her mother's death was indeed related to Grace, there was no way she would let Grace and Sophia off the hook."Mr. Satan, besides Emma Green, can we find out more about my mother's death?"Mr. Satan replied, "It will take time. What happened in the operating room can only be known by Emma Green and the nurses present. Dylan is tracking down those nurses, but nurses tend to be more transient than doctors, and over twenty years have passed. Those nurses might be quite old now, making it challenging to find them quickly."Emily stood up, "I want to go home."She meant the place where she had lived with her
Emily was truly surprised.The middle-aged woman they had just encountered was known in the neighborhood as a "big mouth." Whenever something happened, she was always the first to spread all kinds of rumors.When Emily's mother, Lisa, became pregnant out of wedlock, it was this woman who made it widely known, causing quite a scandal.Because of this, Bert had a big fight with her.Mr. Satan knew even about this woman?Sensing her astonished gaze, Mr. Satan squeezed her hand. "Why are you looking at me like that?"Emily hesitated, "Are you sure you weren't my classmate?""I'm four years older than you, so I can't be your classmate."Yes, they had a four-year age difference. When she was applying for middle school, he would have already been in college.But his familiarity with her and everything around her was still shocking to Emily.She had carefully searched her memories for any males who had appeared in her life, but none of them matched Mr. Satan."I told you, I've been silently w
Emily was deeply surprised.Mr. Satan, such an accomplished man, had endured such a painful past.Emily opened her mouth in astonishment, "Is it because of the scars on your face?""Emily, I'm a man.""What do you mean?""For a man, a pretty face is never as useful as ability. My pain came from other sources, like betrayal."Emily recalled him saying something similar before.She nodded, "Your abilities are indeed strong now, truly.""I know," Mr. Satan nodded. "Ever since I met you, I told myself I had to become strong. Giving up is for losers; I must succeed."Emily nodded. She didn't say anything. They hugged together, understanding their minds without futher words....Sophia had been staying at Logan Morgan's villa these past few days.She was frustrated, sitting on the living room to watch TV, constantly switching channels, but her irritation remained.Nathan had announced the cancellation of their wedding. How dare he!Sophia felt like a climber who, halfway up the mountain and
At 2 PM, in Starbucks.When Emily arrived, Sophia was already there.Emily was not surprised at all. When it came to the divorce, Sophia had no choice but to beg her.Emily suddenly felt someone tug her arm from behind."Emily..."Startled, she turned around to see Nathan.He was still in his suit, clearly having just come from the office."It's hot outside," Emily pointed towards the café, "Let's go inside and talk."Nathan have already spotted Sophia sitting by the window. "Did you call her here?""Yes," Emily nodded, "This concerns the three of us. It's best to have everyone present to clear things up. Let's go."Emily pushed open the door of Starbucks, and the cool air from the air conditioner greeted them.Sophia had already seen Emily, as well as the "gentleman" Nathan, who was holding the door for Emily."Did you two come together?"Emily sat down across from Sophia without hesitation. "We just happened to meet at the door. Did you order anything?"Sophia's expression was unple
Everything was proceeding step by step according to her plan.Sophia managed to gather ten million. However, it wasn’t Sophia who came to deliver the money, but Grace.Grace still had her usual exquisite and elegant makeup. She wore expensive-looking jewelry on her neck, wrists, and ears, and was dressed in a blue long dress, looking every bit like a wealthy wife.Emily sat by the window in a café, observing her.Grace also observed Emily and smiled, "You really look a lot like your mother."“That’s not surprising,” Emily replied. “Mrs. Morgan, you came here instead of Sophia today. Do you have something to say to me?”Grace calmly stroked the bracelet on her wrist and went straight to the point, “Sophia isn’t very smart. She doesn’t see through your intentions and thinks you’ll divorce Nathan once you get the money… Emily, I’m not Sophia. Let’s be clear. What exactly are you planning?”Emily’s smile faded slightly. “How do you know I’m not really just after the money?”“Because you’r
