Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 209 Meggie's Illness
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

Sophia opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.The air was silent.The driver started the car slowly, acting as if he were invisible.Grace suddenly realized something and shut her mouth.The driver didn’t speak, but it didn’t mean he couldn’t hear. He was from the Norman family. If he learned Sophia’s secret, they would be in big trouble.When the car reached the city center, Grace asked the driver to pull over and got out with Sophia.Soon, they saw Logan’s car approaching slowly.Sophia was surprised. "Mom, did you ask Dad to pick us up?""Yes," Grace said sternly. "Emily now has a strong backer. If Logan finds out about Emily’s relationship with Vincent, he’ll value her even more. Once Emily gets home, it’ll be too late. We need to act first."Although she hadn’t spoken in the car, Grace had already thought through the situation.That white dress must have been given to Emily by the masked man.The masked man was very cunning. He must have guessed that Grace would try to get

No one could refute Emily's words. Grace, Sophia, and Logan all knew that the dress belonged to Emily from the beginning!Logan felt his authority being undermined. He pointed at Emily's nose and scolded, "How dare you talk back to me? Don’t you have any manners or respect?"Grace quickly patted Logan’s chest, pretending to comfort him. "Dear, don’t be so angry. Emily is your child. How can you be so harsh on your child?"Although Logan was angry, he couldn’t afford to strain his relationship with Emily too much now.Emily was dating Vincent and had gained Meggie’s favor. Emily was no longer a girl who could be easily bullied; Logan had to consider the consequences of his anger.Logan pointed to the attic upstairs. "Go to the attic and stay there. Think carefully about what you did wrong today. Don’t come down to eat until you figure it out!""Daring, it’s so easy to order takeout now," Grace said."If you want to order takeout, then move out!" Logan gritted his teeth and sneered, "Yo
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 216 I Want to Stay
"Sophia, go back to your room. I need to make a call."Sophia nodded. "Are you calling Mandy?""And Emma," Grace said. "Don’t forget, Emily is pregnant with Vincent’s child. That’s her biggest leverage. If we want to completely bring down Emily, this child must not survive."...Emily stayed in the attic for an entire day.Logan’s anger had not subsided. He kept throwing things around, making loud noises. Occasionally, she could hear him talking with Grace, but Grace’s voice was so low that Emily couldn’t make out their conversation.But she knew they wouldn’t be saying anything pleasant.Emily was also feeling chaotic inside, unable to concentrate on the book in her hands.Her mother had passed away early, leaving hardly anything behind.Apart from some clothes, everything else had been cremated. There were no items at home connected to her mother.Over the years, her impression of her mother was only from a single photograph.Her mother looked very much like her. In the photo, her m

Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 473 A Christmas Miracle
One year later. The house was filled with the soft glow of Christmas lights, their gentle hues dancing across the living room. Emily and Vincent had transformed their home into a cozy haven, with garlands, twinkling lights, and an extravagant Christmas tree that sparkled from every angle. The scent of cinnamon and pine mingled in the air as holiday music played softly in the background, creating a festive, heartwarming atmosphere. This Christmas, their first as a married couple, felt like the beginning of something truly beautiful, a peaceful moment carved from the chaos they’d left behind. Guests began to arrive, the first among them being Allen and Olivia, who had just returned from their honeymoon. They entered, hand-in-hand, faces glowing with happiness.

"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
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 470 The Wedding
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?
