Convincing Logan Morgan was much easier than Emily had imagined.

James Taylor said on the phone, "The key to breaking down someone's psychological defenses is to cater to their preferences. Logan Morgan is essentially a pompous man. Give him enough face, and he will be very happy."

Emily merely sneered when she heard this. Even Grace understood his true color, but it was a pity that her mother never got to see Logan Morgan's true nature.

What a shame.

However, it might be for the best. If her mother had seen what a boring man the person she once loved turned out to be, she would have been deeply disappointed.

James Taylor organized a grand induction ceremony for Logan Morgan, as Emily's instructions, in the ballroom of the Hilton Hotel. Thanks to Allen Parker, many celebrities were invited, turning the induction ceremony into a grand party.

Grace had not done anything; she quietly sat in the audience, playing the role of a dutiful high-society lady.Emily was a bit disappointed. She thought Grace would at least do something. Had she really just accepted it like this?This wasn't like her."Olivia, I'm going to the restroom."Olivia nodded. "Do you need me to go with you?""No," Emily replied.

    It was a long time before Grace returned to the hall.By then, the hall was empty, the previous liveliness all but gone, with only a few staff members cleaning up.She walked over to one of the cleaners and asked, "Excuse me, has the banquet ended?"The cleaner seemed surprised.

"You seem very happy today.""Grace, let me tell you, Mr. Taylor and I hit it off really well. Although Taylor's company is not as big as the Reed Group yet, he's secured a huge investment. Once his shopping mall is built, he’ll definitely be the top player in New York's real estate scene."Logan Morgan spoke while glancing at the dishes on the table, frowning slightly.

    Sophia was instantly furious. "Black truffle? Does she think she's some kind of noble lady?""She's doing it on purpose," Grace sneered. "Lisa was an incompetent coward, but her daughter is quite skilled."Sophia grabbed Grace's hand. "Mom, why should you serve her? You're her stepmother. If she wants to eat, she should make it herself."Sophia could afford to be willful, but Grace could not.Grace kept a stern face. "I still don't know what Emily's next move is.

Let's observe her first and see what she plans to do, then we can counterattack."Sophia huffed and plopped onto the sofa. "No way, I don't want to live with her. I'm moving out.""It's too late to move now. The paparazzi are all waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. Moving out now would play right into Emily's hands."Sophia was both angry and anxious.

"She may not be as smart as you, but you don't have to be so malicious in suspecting her."Emily suddenly smiled. "In that case, why don't you try a bite? Do you dare?"Grace's hand holding the bowl trembled slightly."You don't dare either, do you?" Emily walked to the door and made a "please" gesture. "Go wash the dishes. I'm going to sleep."Grace stared at her for a few seconds, then turned and left.Emily closed the door behind her and locked it, then pushed the desk against the door to ensure her safety.Her phone beeped twice with an incoming text message.She opened it.[Nonsense! That black truffle was airlifted from France, top quality! You're such a country bumpkin!]The message was from Sophia, who lived in the room next to hers.Emily chuckled softly.

She was only trying to avoid Sophia's attack, but Herry's coming timing was too coincidental, and he was hit by the liquid Sophia threw."What on earth is going on?" Grace frantically crouched down to check on Herry. Half of Herry's face was bleeding, looking horrifying.Emily was still using the cloth to wipe away the remaining liquid from his face. Grace, assuming she was the culprit, pushed her away and held Herry tightly: "What are you trying to do to my son? Herry is so young. Even if he offended you, you can't hurt a child!"Logan Morgan, seeing the wounds on Herry's face, flew into a rage: "Emily, what exactly are you trying to do?"They instantly directed their anger towards E

Can you take him?""Sure, sure. Is his facial wound fully treated?""Yes, it's all taken care of. You did the right first aid immediately, so his injury isn't serious.

He'll need to take anti-inflammatory medication for the next month and be careful to avoid infection for a full recovery."Logan smiled with relief, "Thank you.""No need to thank me, it's our job. You should thank the person who administered the first aid."Logan nodded repeatedl

    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.

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

    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.

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
