Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 227 Emily's True Colors
Lucas usually has a stoic face on stage or when interacting with fans. His introverted nature and serious demeanor around unfamiliar people and environments often lead fans to believe he's melancholic.However, whenever Emily shows up, Lucas's expression relaxes considerably, and he even smiles.Fans interpret this as "His smile is only for her."When Emily heard this, she got goosebumps from the awkwardness.Why do fans have such vivid imaginations?She couldn't comprehend the thoughts of his fans.Olivia, on the other hand, totally understood."Emily, did you know? After seeing photos and videos of you with Lucas, I totally ship you two!""What does 'ship' mean?""It means 'couple,' or it can be understood as a romantic match!"Emily's face was full of rejection: "You better throw that idea as far away as possible.""Don't be like that," Olivia laughed foolishly while holding her phone. "Let me tell you, I used to be a fan of Lucas and thought no woman on earth was good enough for h

By the time Emily went to see Allen Parker, the statement denying the relationship had already been released.The statement was clear, directly denying any relationship between Lucas and Emily.“The makeup artist Emily is married and pregnant. She and Lucas are just colleagues. Please do not speculate.”Reading the last line of the statement, Emily finally felt relieved.Allen Parker, tapping the table with a light chuckle, said, “There's nothing to worry about anymore. I've already instructed the media, and those rumors will be removed soon. Lucas is young and didn't consider the consequences of his actions, but I'll remind him.”Feeling at ease, Emily sighed, “Actually, Amanda wanted to come and get me, but there were too many people, and she couldn't get through. Given the urgency, Lucas came over himself, so we can’t blame him. Anyway, thank you, boss.”“You don't need to thank me. For Mr. Satan, I will always protect you.”Emily said, “Boss, I want to resign.”Allen Parker wasn’t

Elderly people often have a deep fondness for children. Carol, Emily’s former mother-in-law, was one such person, and Meggie is another. However, there is a significant difference between them.Carol’s longing for a grandson stemmed primarily from her focus on an heir. The Reed family had only one son, Nathan, and Carol wanted him to marry quickly and preferably have a son. To her, a daughter-in-law was merely a means to produce children.Meggie, on the other hand, was different. Emily could tell she genuinely loved Mr. Satan. Because of this affection, Meggie especially hoped he would find a wife and have children. In terms of motivation, Meggie was undoubtedly more respectable.Emily loved being around Meggie. Every time she saw her, she felt a sense of home, something she had never experienced in over twenty years.Meggie said to her, “Emily, you should eat more. Our chef is particularly good at making braised bamboo shoots. Give it a try.”Emily quickly smiled and thanked her, “Su

“I wouldn't dare!” Mandy's gaze flickered over Emily's belly. “I just heard some very interesting news today and thought I’d come ask if you know about it.”“I don’t want to know,” Meggie said dismissively, continuing to eat. “If you want to eat, then shut up and sit down. If not, go back to your place. Jesus doesn't like noise.”Meggie’s words were cold and showed no regard for Mandy, making her very embarrassed.To ease the tension, Bella asked, “Ma’am, are you staying for dinner?”“No, I’m not!” Mandy’s voice became sharp with anger. “Mom, I just came to tell you that you're wrong. This Emily is a scheming little s.lut!”“Are you done? Get out of here!” Meggie was furious, slamming her bowl down so hard it shattered near Mandy’s feet, making her jump back.Meggie, still angry, grabbed a fork and threw it at her. “You’ve been hanging out with that Grace for too long! You didn’t learn anything good but picked up all her vile, sneaky ways. But unlike her, you don’t have the brains. Yo

Mr. Satan seemed to be in a particularly good mood.Emily guessed that the matter he mentioned was almost resolved, which made him more relaxed. Moreover, they had limited time together recently, and whenever possible, he would find a way to talk to her alone.He was considerate, though sometimes, in moments of passion, he found it hard to control himself. He always maintained enough restraint, never touching her belly. But his kisses were so intense that they left her breathless sometimes.Today was no different.After leaving the Norman family, Mr. Satan kissed her passionately in the car before reluctantly letting her go back to the Morgan family.When Emily walked in, her lips were red and swollen.In the living room, Herry was alone, watching TV with a bowl of popcorn.Emily glanced at the screen; it was a popular variety show where celebrities were playing games.Herry laughed out loud, scattering popcorn all over the floor.Emily frowned slightly.“I’ll clean it up myself later

The next morning, Emily received a call from Nathan.Nathan's voice was rough and slightly slurred, likely the aftereffects of a hangover."Emily, let's get divorced."She had heard these words from him six months ago. Back then, Nathan had looked down on her, and it was the beginning of the worst time in her life. She was thrown out of her home by her husband and mother-in-law, left to wander the streets with nowhere to go.Who could have guessed that hearing these words again six months later would bring her a sense of relief?Emily agreed, "Okay, I'll meet you at the city hall."Nathan didn't say another word and hung up.Because Mr. Satan had already told her about this last night, Emily was up early. After hanging up the phone, she quickly went downstairs.Grace was in the living room. She glanced at Emily, "Heading out so early? Going to meet Vincent?"There was a hint of probing in her tone.Emily gave her a broad smile. "Yes. Do you want to date him too?"Grace's face instantl

Nathan's breath still reeked of alcohol, and he swayed unsteadily. A passing pedestrian lightly bumped into him, causing Nathan to almost fall, only to be barely caught by a nearby tree.Squinting against the light, Nathan looked at Emily, "Emily, are you happy to see me like this?"Emily bit her lip, her tone icy, "It is meaningless. Let's get the divorce done."Nathan laughed bitterly, leaning against the tree and slowly squatting down, muttering, "It's all my fault. If I had cherished you, if I hadn't listened to my mother... Emily, would we still be together?""No 'ifs,'" Mr. Satan grabbed Nathan by the collar and lifted him. "Let's go."For the first time in six months, Emily found herself sitting next to Nathan again.The clerk gave them a cursory glance and asked, "Are you both sure about this? Once the divorce is finalized, there's no going back. You're still young, and it's normal to have conflicts...""Thank you, but we won't regret it," Emily said. "This is our divorce agre

"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.

“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

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?
