Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 206 Meeting Grandmother
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. She carefully smoothed the hem of her dress, not allowing even a single wrinkle.Emily glanced at her own skirt…Emily chuckled softly, realizing Sophia's intention.The car soon arrived at the Norman family's gate. Meggie's maid Bella was already waiting at the door, her face full of a loving smile, "Hello, Megg
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 207 You Go Out
Meggie's tone was a bit harsh, and everyone was startled.Sophia had already stepped into Meggie's room but retreated a step in fright.Emily was walking at the back. Seeing Sophia step back, she also stopped.Bella smiled to ease the awkwardness: "Meggie usually uses sandalwood incense. She doesn't like other scents, fearing they would pollute her devotion to Jesus. She doesn't allow flowers in her yard, only bamboo, to prevent other fragrances from mixing in."Sophia hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry. I thought I was meeting someone important today, so I wore perfume. It was out of respect for Meggie."Bella smiled, "You are a cultured person, so you consider many things.""Yes," Sophia said proudly, "I have a master's degree." She glanced at Emily, who hadn't attended college.Bella nodded, "You are very impressive."Sophia's words were intended to boast, especially since Emily hadn't gone to college. She thought it was her pride.The Norman family would never accept a woman without

Bella reminded her, "Sophia, Meggie asked you who the person standing behind you was.""Oh," Sophia snapped out of it and quickly said, "That was my mother. She accompanied me here."Meggie rolled her eyes, "Why did you bring your mother to see me? Are you afraid I might eat you?"Sophia's heart pounded, and she hurriedly shook her head, "No. My mother was worried I might anger you because I'm young, so she came with me."Meggie closed her eyes and coldly asked, "How old are you?""Twenty-four.""Twenty-four?" Meggie sneered, "You don't look like a 24-year-old woman."Sophia couldn't understand the meaning of Meggie's words. Without Grace by her side, she felt very awkward.Was Meggie saying she looked much older?But this dress was supposed to make her look pure and cute."Ha," Meggie exchanged a glance with Bella and laughed lightly, "Not only is she a fool, but she's also half mute."To prove she wasn't mute, Sophia quickly said, "I really am 24. I just told Bella that I have been

Emily leaned closer to Meggie, sniffed lightly, and chuckled, "You only smell of sandalwood. And your lips are a bit pale, so I guess you haven't eaten anything today."Meggie laughed heartily, "You're very perceptive. Recently, I haven't had much appetite. I can't eat anything, don't want to eat, and sometimes feel nauseous. So, I just stopped eating."Bella looked worried and sighed, "You should take care of your health. You don't feel like eating every day, and the chef makes different meals for you every day. But you either don't eat or eat very little. This isn't good for your health.""Ah, you're too worried about me. I know my body. I don't feel hungry, so I don't want to eat," Meggie said, glancing at Sophia. She was still standing there, head bowed, looking at the floor, her face pale and jaw clenched."Miss Morgan," Meggie called out.Sophia didn't realize "Miss Morgan" referred to her. She continued to stand with her head down, lost in thought.Meggie cleared her throat lou

Ten minutes later, Bella brought in four doctors."Meggie, the doctors are here.""They're here?" Meggie reached out and held onto Emily's arm. "Help me up."Emily naturally supported Meggie by the elbow, helping her adjust her sitting position.Mandy glanced at their holding hands but said nothing."Alright, tell me, what's wrong with my body?"Everyone looked at the doctors.The lead doctor, who appeared to be in his sixties and quite authoritative, spoke up, "Meggie, without a hospital examination, it's hard for us to make a definitive diagnosis. We can only speculate based on experience. However, speculation is not as accurate as examination results. I suggest you...""Just tell me your speculation," Meggie frowned slightly and murmured to Emily, "He's younger than me but more long-winded."Emily chuckled softly, lowering her voice, "He's a doctor. He has to be responsible for his patients."Alex said, "Doctor, please share your speculation. It will help my mother and me decide if

Emily not only understood nutrition, but she also knew a lot about medical care and some healing methods from the East.Her foster father and uncle had overworked themselves for their family in their youth, resulting in many chronic illnesses, especially stomach problems.They didn’t have medical insurance, and each hospital visit cost a lot of money, so William often endured the pain and didn’t go to the hospital. One day, he vomited blood, and Emily tearfully took him to the hospital for an examination.The results shocked them. William had a perforated stomach, and it had been a long time. If it got worse, it could turn into stomach cancer.William was unwilling to take leave or be hospitalized because he couldn’t afford the medical bills. He just bought some painkillers and took Emily home.Seeing William in pain every day, Emily felt very distressed. She began to study medical knowledge. She learned that stomach problems are a long-term chronic illness that cannot be completely c

Alex thought it was a good idea: "Mandy, I think this is a good plan. Mom can go to the hospital for treatment with peace of mind, and you’re free to help her at home. What do you think?"Mandy didn’t think it was a good idea.Mandy needed to go shopping, watch movies, and enjoy her milk baths and Thai massages. Staying at Meggie’s house every day? That was absolutely impossible."It’s not that I’m unwilling," Mandy said with a slightly embarrassed smile, "but I’m currently preparing for Vincent’s wedding. The wedding is very complicated, and I don’t have time to help Meggie."Alex nodded, "Then why don’t we have Janet and Bryden come?""Those two kids are like monkeys; don’t disturb God’s peace!" Meggie decided, "Mandy will help me. Mandy, let me tell you, serving God is not just a job; it requires sincerity. If God knows your heart isn’t sincere, He will be displeased."Meggie’s last words carried a hint of warning.Mandy understood her meaning. Although Meggie was old, she wasn’t m

Mr. Satan bypassed Grace and walked directly into the room.Sophia’s eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets!This man, isn’t he Emily’s wanted criminal boyfriend?How could he be here?Who was he calling grandma?Meggie’s response gave him the answer: "You still remember to visit me?"Mr. Satan smiled and greeted Alex and Mandy: "Dad, Mandy."Alex and Mandy were his foster parents, but Mr. Satan’s way of addressing them showed his attitude towards them.Alex stood up, patted his shoulder, and frowned, "Why are you so late?""There was an unexpected situation this morning that I had to deal with," Mr. Satan said as he stopped in front of Meggie, looking concerned. "Grandma, how are you feeling? What did the doctor say?"Talking about this topic made Meggie angry: "Don’t let those people come here again. They said a bunch of useless things and even suggested I might have cancer! Even if I don’t have cancer, they could make me die from anger!"Mr. Satan chuckled, "You’re still

One year later. The house was filled with the soft glow of Christmas lights, their gentle hues dancing across the living room.

"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. Now, the ceremony continues."Satan stood in the grand hall, watching the strong, fearless woman Emily had become, a wave of unspeakable joy rising within him. His woman had become powerful.Dressed in a white gown, Emily walked slowly toward Satan, accompanied by Bert. The small diamonds on her gown sparkled under the light
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 471 Sophia’s True Face
“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

Dylan was right.Three days later, Emily Carter and Vincent Norman were to be married. With Meggie as the wedding’s head organizer, invitations bore Emily's name, revealing to everyone that Miranda—the talented designer making waves at the Pritzker Architecture Prize—was indeed Emily.The announcement stunned all of New York and the entire architecture community. So Miranda is really Emily? People couldn’t believe the city’s most eligible bachelor, Vincent, had been swept off his feet so quickly.The Norman family, known for their longstanding legacy, hosted an extravagant guest list. Alex greeted everyone warmly, while Mandy barely cracked a smile. She was still fuming—she’d barely started her schemes with Grace to find Vincent a “suitable” bride, only to be blindsided by this wedding! She muttered, “Wasn’t he supposed to be so deeply in love with Emily? Now he’s marrying someone else so fast?”Meggie overheard and firmly replied, “The bride is Emily.”“Oh, come on, Mom. She’s not—”

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?
