The mask he wore today was different from the ones Emily had seen before.Emily blinked and looked closely, confirming her observation.When he was with her, Mr. Satan's mask was also white but simple and snugly fit his face. The mask he wore now was adorned with decorations, resembling something from a masquerade ball, completely different from before.However, his walking posture and the way he adjusted his sleeve were familiar. Emily was sure this man was Mr. Satan."Sophia, is that the man you went out with?" Grace whispered to Sophia.They stood far from the Norman family. The masked man was speaking quietly with Alex. From her distance, Sophia could barely make out his facial features.Sophia squinted, still uncertain, "I think so...""What do you mean 'think so'? You've already..." Grace caught herself before saying something too explicit. She glanced around nervously and whispered, "Look carefully. Is it him? Why is he wearing a mask?"Sophia nodded, "I think it's him. He invi
Mr. Satan didn't deny it. "I knew I couldn't hide this from you all."Janet's eyes lit up instantly. "What? Did I hear that right? My single brother actually sent a dress to a girl? Who is she? Is she here today?""Yes, she is."Bryden was also excited. "What kind of dress is she wearing? What color? I've seen almost all the girls here today. If you describe her dress, I can definitely remember her face!"Bryden and Janet's eyes sparkled with curiosity.Mr. Satan shook his head. "She's wearing a simple dress.""That's not just any dress," Alex snorted. "I've heard about it. You had a designer in Milan spend six months making that dress for her. The price of that dress is staggering."Janet, knowing Vincent wouldn't elaborate, turned to her father. "Dad, how do you know?""Heh, how do I know? Everyone in the fashion circle knows about it. Many people called me, asking if our family was preparing for a wedding. I've never seen Vincent so dedicated to a girl."Janet laughed. "You've seen
Bryden immediately reacted as if he had been burned: "Janet, stop talking.""Why don't you dare to admit it? I know you like her," Janet patted Mandy's arm. "Mom, look at that girl. Bryden likes her..."Mandy saw Emily and frowned: "You mean the girl with heavy makeup? No, girls who dress like that usually don't have good upbringing. Fortunately, she's already married. If she really married into our family, she would ruin our reputation."After saying this, she turned to look at her husband.Norman family had always been quite traditional. In their family, the husband generally made the decisions, so she usually spoke and acted according to her husband's wishes.Although Alex didn't say anything, he also frowned slightly, clearly showing his disapproval of such flamboyant dressing.The Norman family is old money, and they have always adhered to a low-key way of doing things. Alex taught his children to be humble and low-profile. Mandy knew her husband agreed with her view, so he smile
Sophia lifted her dress and walked forward gracefully, attracting a lot of attention as Bryden escorted her towards the Norman family.Emily’s gaze drifted to the person in the center of the hall.His eyes seemed to be waiting for her. When their eyes met, a faint smile appeared on his lips.Emily frowned. He knew the dress was already on Sophia, so why did he have Sophia called over?What exactly was he planning?Mr. Satan seemed to have guessed her thoughts and gave her a reassuring look."Dear, see? I was right. As soon as Sophia met the eldest son of the Norman family, the Normans showed you such respect. They must be planning to have Sophia marry into their family! Our two families will soon be one."Logan Morgan was very proud. Bryden’s words had made him feel very proud. Especially Bryden’s respectful attitude towards him, he now felt like he was already among the upper echelons of society. He looked at Grace with a smile: "I was wrong about you before. You have great foresight
Once inside, Grace helped Sophia sit on the sofa, whispering in her ear, "You’re done with Nathan, so you’d better give up this child. If Mandy asks you, you insist that you’re not pregnant. Show that you’re pitiful and say your engagement with Nathan is over. Understand?"Sophia nodded."Please have a glass of water," Mandy said, taking a cup from the maid and handing it to Sophia. "Are you feeling unwell? Do you need to go to the hospital?""It’s nothing, thank you, Mrs. Norman," Grace sighed. "It’s just that Sophia is heartbroken. She and your son had always been very close, and she doesn’t understand why he’s suddenly angry. She’s devastated."Mandy waved her hand, instructing the maid, "You can leave now and close the door.""Yes, ma’am."Mandy was also puzzled by what had just happened.However, she didn’t show her confusion. Her expression remained calm, "You must be Mrs. Morgan. I’m terribly sorry for the rude things my son said…""It’s alright," Grace replied softly. "I under
"This is outrageous!" Mandy shook her head. "Why is she so stubborn? Your words are for her own good!"Sophia quickly added, "Mrs. Norman, my sister is very arrogant at home. We hardly have a place to stay because of her. Today, she tried to steal my dress. Normally, I would let her have it, but this dress was a gift from your son, so I couldn't give it up. She got angry and tried to hit me. When my mom protected me, she even tried to hit my mom..."Sophia's eyes reddened slightly.Mandy's anger was thoroughly ignited. "Is there such a thing? How can she be so malicious? Was she never educated properly?""Don't even mention it," Grace waved her hand dismissively. "She grew up with her foster father and uncle in the slums. She didn't go to college and didn't receive a proper education."Mandy disagreed, "That's not an excuse. Even without a college education, she shouldn't resort to violence."Thinking of Bryden's interest in that girl made Mandy feel sick.Why does my son have such po
After removing her makeup, Mr. Satan led Emily towards a house behind the villa.For the first time, Emily witnessed what true understated luxury looked like.She had once thought the Reed family was very wealthy. Nathan owned a large company, his home was a luxurious villa, and he had many cars. His lifestyle was already beyond Emily's imagination.But the Norman family estate was ten times larger than the Reed family's.The Norman estate featured a front yard with a fountain and pool, a grand villa, and many houses and gardens behind the villa.Mr. Satan held her hand as they walked down a cobblestone path, through a small, serene bamboo forest, and a small but exquisite villa appeared before them."My grandmother likes peace and quiet. My younger siblings are lively and young. She didn't want to restrict them, so she lives here alone."Emily nodded, understanding that Mr. Satan's grandmother was a kind old woman.The Norman children must be very happy, she thought.Except for Mr. S
As Emily walked out, Logan was already standing beside the car, visibly impatient.She approached him. "Mr. Morgan."Logan saw her and couldn’t help but burst out, "Where did you go? Everyone has left, and it’s just you. If there had been a bus, I would have driven off myself. Do you know how many people are secretly laughing at me?"Logan pointed to a few security guards at the entrance.They stood perfectly straight, not glancing over even once.Emily sneered inwardly. Logan’s proud ego was bruised again. He believed he should be admired, but standing here alone, he felt his noble status was tainted.Emily didn't argue, instead, she meekly apologized, "I’m sorry."Logan didn’t want to make a scene in public; he still had to maintain his refined image."Get in the car."Emily opened the back door, ready to get in, when a large hand slammed it shut.Logan said irritably, "Sit in the front seat."The back seat was typically reserved for those of higher status; in Logan’s eyes, she wasn
