Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 168 Emily's Revenge is Coming
Logan Morgan returned home around 7 PM.Grace had spent four hours cleaning the house and preparing dinner, setting the table with food.Logan Morgan looked spirited and very happy. He walked in talking on the phone: "…I know… yes, I think so too… hahahaha, thank you so much…"Grace approached him, as usual, helping him take off his suit jacket and taking his briefcase. "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. "Just these dishes? Is there more?"Grace looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table and chuckled. "I didn't know what Mr. Taylor likes to eat. Is Mr. Taylor coming soon? What does he like? I'll make it right away.""Who said Mr. Taylor is comi

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. Her revenge came too quickly; I didn't have time to react. We can't act rashly. 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. "So we're just going to sit here and watch her flaunt her power? Mom, I have nothing left

"Sophia has been in her room the whole time. How could she have poisoned you?" Grace sneered. "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. Sophia was truly foolish.Emily had tried to get information, but Grace had been tight-lipped about the origin of the black truffl

"Why aren't you saying anything?" His voice was anxious, "Is something wrong?"Emily replied, "I'm fine, Mr. Satan. I just... miss you."Mr. Satan's breathing became audible over the phone.His breathing quickened.His voice changed as well, "Emily, are you giving up? If you say yes, I'll take you away immediately."Emily did want to leave with him.Life with Mr. Satan was fulfilling and happy. She cooked every day, looking forward to the birth of her baby. Mr. Satan would help solve any problems. They love each other, and her life is peaceful and joyful.But..."I need to find out the truth about my mother's death. I want to make sure the bad guys pay for what they've done!"Mr. Satan let out a soft "hmm": "After all these years, you're still the stubborn and undefeated Emily.""...I'm not that stubborn. I'm actually very weak. I even put up with Carol for four years...""You're not weak, you're kind," Mr. Satan said. "You respect your elders and don't want to confront them. But you

By the time Logan Morgan and Grace rushed upstairs, the situation was beyond their imagination.Herry was crying in pain, Sophia was kneeling on the ground with a frightened expression, and Emily was using a cloth to absorb the liquid from Herry's face.Emily hadn't expected Herry to come at that moment. 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

Emily stopped talking and quietly sat aside, watching the doctor treat Herry's facial wounds.She maintained a calm demeanor, which barely reassured Logan.Grace wanted to argue further, but Logan's firm grip on her shoulder reminded her not to cause a scene in public, so she held her tongue."Are Herry's parents here?" the nurse shouted from the corridor.Logan gave Grace a deep look, seemingly a warning, then turned and replied, "Yes, I'm Herry's father.""Oh, he said he needs to use the restroom. 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 still feels some pain, but he's fine now. 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

"Exactly," Logan interjected, "Her father has a house; she can stay there."Grace gritted her teeth, "At least give her a few days to pack."Logan wanted Sophia to move out immediately. She could stay in a hotel for a few days. However, he feared Sophia would damage his reputation, so he reluctantly nodded, "Let her stay a few more days, until she's ready to move out."Loganpaused, then turned to Emily, "Do you have any objections?"Emily gave a bitter smile, "Do I get to have any?""She did try to harm you," Logan sighed, "Sophia seems like a completely different person now. I used to think she was gentle. How could she suddenly become so violent, even daring to throw acid at someone? I'm very disappointed."Emily spoke softly, "People don't change overnight. Sometimes, we only see what they want us to see. If we don't interact with them closely, we might believe they are the persona they present."There was a hidden meaning in her words, and Logan caught on."I'll make sure you get

Olivia hugged her tightly. "I went to the Hilton Hotel this morning to find you, but Allen Parker said you no longer live there. Where did you go?"As they chatted, they walked into the TV station.Emily explained her mother's situation to Olivia."F.uck, Grace and Sophia are shameless! Grace was a homewrecker, and now Sophia is one too—one stole your mom's husband, and the other stole yours!"Emily was also angry. "Maybe life is just a cycle."Lucas had a heavy workload today.

"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. Sophia, you and your mother won’t steal my inheritance, and you won’t ruin my wedding.

“I know,” Emily said firmly.When Vincent slid the ring onto her finger, she felt a flash of disbelief. She’d expected Sophia to pull something, but Vincent’s unwavering stance took her by surprise. It’s over—everything’s finally over.Emily’s eyes glistened with tears.The priest’s voice resonated, “The groom may now kiss the bride…”Emily lowered her head, tears shimmering on her lashes. Vincent leaned in, kissing away the tear before it fell.Applause thundered through the church, and the priest laughed. “Go on, kiss her; she’s yours now.”Vincent didn’t hesitate, pulling Emily into a kiss. “You’re my wife, Emily. 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. Her face twisted with such fury

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?
