Grace raised her phone, showing the photos they were talking about.Emily looked at the photo. The image depicted her and Lucas in the TV station's makeup room.Lucas was half-lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting, while Emily was carefully covering him with a blanket.Emily instantly understood.This was Grace's counterattack.Her scandal with Lucas had previously been fabricated by Sophia, but the incident reversed quickly. The media's attention shifted to Sophia, and with Amanda's efforts, the rumor about her and Lucas didn't spread much.The consensus was that contact between a celebrity and their makeup artist was normal, and there was nothing ambiguous about it.But this time, things were a bit different.Last time, Lucas had helped her when she almost fell, which could be interpreted as a gentlemanly act. But this photo seemed more ambiguous.Lucas was sleeping, and Emily was covering him with a blanket. Their relationship appeared quite intimate. If someone wanted to
They were saying it loud enough for Emily to hear.Logan's publicly acknowledged daughter was still Sophia, not her. Sophia had an education and appeared respectable, whereas Emily hadn't attended college and had lived in the slums. So Logan chose Sophia to attend important occasions over her.Logan went out first to get the car, while Grace and Sophia followed slowly, whispering."Mom, who exactly is the person Dad is taking us to meet?""I'm not too sure. I heard from Logan that this mysterious boss is Mr. Taylor's benefactor. He's a very wealthy figure who usually stays low-key and doesn't appear in public much. Mr. Taylor's success in beating Nathan and securing the shopping mall project was thanks to his support."Sophia couldn't help but marvel, "Then he must be even richer than Nathan!""Of course," Grace glanced at Sophia. They both had the same thing on their minds. She held Sophia's hand and patted it gently, "I did some digging last night. This mysterious boss is a young ma
Emily carefully opened the cap of the dishwashing liquid in the kitchen and took a sniff.Sure enough, the distinctive smell of sulfuric acid hit her nose.Dishwashing liquid and concentrated sulfuric acid were both transparent, viscous liquids that looked the same on the surface.If she had actually used the liquid and gotten it on her hands, she would have been seriously injured.Moreover, Sophia could have framed her. She could say that Emily secretly stored concentrated sulfuric acid and that she hurt her hands while handling it when they weren't home. Then, she could blame Herry's injury on Emily as well.Sophia was truly malicious!No wonder today's dishwashing liquid was different from the usual one. The previous ones were in plastic bottles, but this one was in a stainless steel bottle. Concentrated sulfuric acid can corrode plastic but can only form a dense oxide layer on steel, preserving the liquid inside.Emily sneered. She had mocked Grace for lacking basic chemical knowl
Grace opened the door and asked, "Who are you?""Good evening, Mrs. Morgan. My name is Dylan, and my boss sent me to deliver some clothes."Standing outside was a tall, handsome man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He carried himself with great elegance, speaking in a refined manner, exuding an air of respectability.Grace, upon seeing him, couldn't help but respond more deferentially, "And who are these clothes for?"Dylan smiled and replied, "They are for Mr. Morgan's daughter.""Sophia?" Grace's eyes lit up, and she was overjoyed. "Could your boss be... Mr. Taylor's big boss?"Dylan confirmed, "Yes, my boss is the largest shareholder of the Taylor Group. He is the one who funded Mr. Taylor for the shopping mall project. Is Mr. Morgan's daughter at home?"Grace couldn't contain her excitement and quickly called out, "Sophia, come here! The big boss has sent clothes for you!"Sophia was stunned for a few seconds but was soon overwhelmed with joy and rushed over, "Are these really for me?
Logan nodded with satisfaction. "Alright, we'll go public with our relationship whenever you feel ready."Emily, holding the box, climbed the stairs with a light step. Midway, she paused, "Oh, by the way..."Logan quickly asked, "What is it? Go ahead.""I wanted to mention to Mrs. Morgan that the new dishwashing liquid in the kitchen isn't very good. I think the previous one was better."Logan now regarded her words as gospel. He immediately turned to Grace, "You changed the dishwashing liquid? What did you switch it to?"He started to head toward the kitchen.Grace's face turned pale, and she hurriedly pulled him back, "Dear, the kitchen isn't a place for an artist like you. I got it. I'll change the dishwashing liquid back immediately."Logan nodded, "Alright, make sure to change it. Also, don't let Emily wash dishes anymore. She's practically a special guest. We should treat her well, not make her wash dishes."Grace forced a smile, "Got it. I'll wash the dishes from now on.""Have
The Saturday morning sun was exceptionally warm.The Morgan family's villa was located in the central area of New York. Many wealthy people owned houses here, but not many actually lived in them.The location was excellent, but most of the buildings were villas from thirty years ago. The facilities were relatively outdated, so many people had moved to newer, wealthier neighborhoods, especially the younger generation.Logan had bought this villa at a low price from a young tycoon. Originally, an elderly couple lived here, but after they passed away, their son sold the place to move to Europe. Therefore, Logan didn't pay much for it.When Emily stepped out the villa, Grace was bending over, helping Sophia arrange her dress—Sophia was wearing a white off-the-shoulder dress.This was the very dress Mr. Satan had given her.Now, it was on Sophia.This morning, before Emily woke up, Grace had knocked on her door. Apologetically, she explained that all of Sophia's clothes were at the Reed h
James Taylor sent the address of the banquet to Logan Morgan.Logan was not yet familiar with the roads in New York City. It took him a long time to reach the place.It was a private estate at the foot of a mountain. The architecture was grand. The front yard fountain was as large as a football field. Servants were everywhere, moving about with professional courtesy.Logan could even see a private golf course in the distance.Emily had lived in New York for over twenty years and had no idea there was such an upscale private estate here. What she couldn't believe even more was that Mr. Satan, accustomed to living in such luxurious mansions, could still stand with her in her shabby, dirty little house without even blinking."Emily, hurry up. Logan is already ahead," Grace reminded her.Emily followed the voice and saw Logan standing next to James Taylor. James Taylor, dressed in a high-end suit, introduced Logan to other guests. These guests also appeared to be from high society.Sophia
Not far away, Logan was happily chatting with James Taylor, occasionally glancing at Sophia.It was clear that the topic of their conversation was Sophia.Grace was standing in a corner with Sophia, whispering instructions to her. Sophia nodded, looking very obedient, almost like a different person."Hi."Emily felt a tap on her shoulder.She turned around to see a beautiful and proud face. It was a girl of about 18, wearing a very luxurious princess dress, looking quite adorable."Do you have a moment?"Emily was puzzled, "Me?""Yes," the girl nodded. "Can you do me a favor?"Logan, Grace, and Sophia were all busy socializing, and Emily was standing there alone, feeling bored, so she agreed."What do you need help with?""Can you help me get my shoe down?" The girl led her to a large tree and pointed to a high-heeled shoe stuck in the branches. "It's all Jackson's fault. He threw my shoe up there. I'm so mad."Emily recognized the familiar name, "Excuse me... Are you talking about Ja
