Emily smiled and stopped arguing with her.She realized that Sophia always interpreted things with her limited intelligence.There was no point in arguing with Sophia. The real show was yet to come, and Emily just needed to wait.In the following days, Sophia and her mother Grace received numerous phone calls.Previously, Emily didn't know much about the lives of the wealthy, but now she discovered that the richer people were, the more snobbish they seemed.Emily didn't know the exact status of the Norman family, but she could sense some of it from the changes in their daily lives.One of the most obvious changes was the sudden increase in visitors to the Morgan household.Some people claimed they wanted to visit Logan Morgan, some said they wanted to be friends with Sophia, and some admired Grace's taste. They had many reasons, but their ultimate goal was the same: to establish good relations with the Morgan family.Logan enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. He was v

"Sigh, it's my fault," Grace said remorsefully. "I've neglected Sophia since she was young. She grew up with her father, and how could a man take proper care of a child? So, Sophia's health has never been good. She had a fever a few days ago. I didn't think much of it, but it turned out to be pneumonia. By the time we got to the hospital, the doctor said the baby might be at risk of miscarriage.""I don't believe you!" Carol slammed the teacup onto the coffee table, spilling the tea. She was furious. "Right now, let's go to the hospital. I don't trust a word you say."With that, Carol abruptly stood up, ready to storm into the kitchen.Grace hurriedly grabbed her. "Wait, don't be hasty. Sophia has been distressed about this too…"Carol wasn't a fool. Grace's attitude made her understand her intentions. She shouted, "She's probably secretly happy! She seduced a richer man and now wants to back out, right? I remember a few months ago, she used the baby to force Nathan to marry her. Now

Sophia felt a sharp pain in her belly, followed by a rush of warm liquid flowing down her legs.Her face turned pale from the pain, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud. Soon, a pool of blood stained the floor."Ah, you're bleeding!"Grace exclaimed, pointing angrily at Carol, "You murderer! You killed your grandson!"Carol was stunned. She sensed something was wrong, like she had walked into a trap. However, now Sophia was bleeding, and she had indeed hit Sophia.No matter what, Carol couldn't evade her responsibility."I didn't... I just touched her lightly..."Grace took out her phone, ready to call the police. "I'm calling the police right now to arrest you! You're the mother of the CEO of Reed Group, you broke into my house, beat my daughter, and caused her to have a miscarriage! I'll call all the reporters and tell them. I will let everyone know that you and Nathan are violent maniacs! I'll ruin Reed Group's reputation and watch your stock price plummet!"As she was about

Emily was furious.What was Nathan trying to do?Had he bought a lot of phone cards?She refused to answer the calls, but the phone kept ringing with new numbers.Unable to bear it any longer, Emily answered the phone, shouting angrily, "Will you ever stop? I told you, unless it's about the divorce, don't call me again!!!"There was no response for several seconds."Nathan called you again?"That voice…Emily was startled. "Mr. Satan?""Hmm, did you think I was Nathan?"Emily closed her eyes briefly. "Sorry, Nathan called me from an unknown number, and I thought it was him again... Why are you using a new number? Did you change your number?""No, this is my other number," Mr. Satan said. "Only my parents, brother, sister, and grandmother know this number."Emily understood, but she still felt a bit uneasy. "So the number you've been using to contact me... was it specifically for me?""Yes." Mr. Satan didn't deny it. "The situation was complicated back then. I couldn't tell you my iden

After talking with Mr. Satan for a while, Emily felt much calmer.Because of her pregnancy, her emotions had become a bit fragile. Luckily, whenever she felt vulnerable, Mr. Satan was always there for her.Additionally, Mr. Satan brought news about Emma: "Her bribery at the hospital has been exposed. She's been fired, and she's also facing several medical malpractice cases. The hospital is preparing to sue her. If convicted, she will face hefty fines."Emily hesitated slightly and asked, "No criminal charges?""The medical incidents were minor. If she compensates, the cases will be closed. If we want her to go to jail, that would be difficult," Mr. Satan explained. "Emily, what happened to your mother's body?"Emily replied, "She was cremated. We couldn't afford a burial plot. Her ashes are stored at the funeral home.""Did your adoptive father and uncle personally take her for cremation?"Emily wasn't sure. She bit her lip, "I was too young to remember. I heard my uncle mention it on

Emily was momentarily dazed. Her conversation with Herry just now reminded her of a conversation she had with Sophia ten years ago. Back then, she had advised Sophia to focus on her studies and not get involved in relationships, but Sophia didn't listen. She dated many men and even spent nights out with them.Sophia was only fourteen then, just four years older than Herry is now.That was ten years ago. Sophia was no longer the same, and neither was she."Hey, Emily, why aren't you talking?"Emily stood up. "I'm going downstairs to make you some food to shut your mouth."There were plenty of ingredients in the fridge. Emily made spaghetti. She intended to call Herry to the dining room to eat but worried that his low blood sugar might not have fully recovered. If he fell down the stairs, it would cause many problems, so Emily brought the food to his bedroom.Herry smelled the aroma of spaghetti and meat sauce and sat at the table waiting.Emily placed the plate in front of him. "Eat up

Meggie's driver arrived quickly.Logan was not invited. This gathering was for the women, so he had to go back to work.Grace took Sophia and Emily into the car.Emily walked in front. As she reached for the car door handle, Sophia quickly interjected, "Sorry, I get car sick in the front seat. I'll sit in the back."Emily looked at Sophia, who had already taken a seat in the back, and nodded, "Okay."Meggie's driver observed them, his eyes moving thoughtfully between them.Emily sat in the front passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.The seatbelt left a long mark on her skirt. Looking in the rearview mirror, Emily saw Sophia wearing the white dress Mr. Satan had given her.

Meggie's maid Bella was already waiting at the door, her face full of a loving smile, "Hello, Megg

"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.

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.

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

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?
