"Vincent, how could you become like this?" Alex looked at Mr. Satan incredulously. "Mandy is my wife and your mother. How could you...""Dad," Mr. Satan's tone was icy. "You defend your wife, and I defend mine. If your wife can't be slandered, can mine be slandered?"Alex was momentarily speechless. "Vincent, Why do you like Emily? Do you know she's been married before?""Who said she's been married?" Mr. Satan chuckled coldly. "You haven't even verified the source of the news, let alone its authenticity. You shouldn't hastily jump to conclusions. This is something you taught me when I was starting out in business. Have you forgotten?"Mr. Satan's words finally brought Alex back to his senses.The news that Emily had been married to Nathan came from Mandy, who had shown him the marriage certificate, but he hadn't personally verified it.His gaze slowly shifted towards Mandy.Mandy, angered, said, "Alex, what are you thinking? Do you suspect I'm deliberately framing Emily?""No, Mandy,
Emily spoke gently and respectfully, which Alex found pleasing."Emily, you're so polite. Looks like Mrs. Morgan taught her daughter well.""I'm not related to Mrs. Morgan by blood. I was raised by my foster father and uncle. Mrs. Morgan is my foster father's ex-wife who later remarried Mr. Morgan."Alex paused, "Oh, I see now...""Yeah, my foster father's not in good health. He's been in hospital since his surgery. I had nowhere else to go. Mr. Morgan works at Taylor Group, his daughter and I are friends, so he let me stay his house."Emily explained her past.She only stated facts, leaving Alex to draw his own conclusions."Grace abandoned her penniless husband and seduced Mr. Morgan. Now she's trying to harm her husband's daughter."Alex frowned deeply, "Mrs. Morgan's quite cunning and lacks moral character. Mr. Morgan seems like a fake gentleman too! They're a despicable couple!"Emily kept her thoughts to herself.Logan and Grace's true faces should be exposed."Since that's the
Emily had been waiting for so long, and finally, she got a fixed deadline – one week.Emily felt a bit uneasy, but more than that, she felt a sense of relief that the hard times were finally coming to an end.Her belly was already slightly protruding. Fortunately, the weather was cooling down, so she could cover it up with thicker clothes.But when she got home and put on her pajamas, her belly was pretty obvious.Mr. Satan held her affectionately until dawn finally came, and he let her go.Emily had always stuck to her principles, not letting him enter her body, but she didn’t expect that even without s.ex, Mr. Satan had many ways to make her moan. This man!……“Emily, are you thinking about my brother? Your face is all red.” Janet was sitting in front of the vanity, waiting for Emily to do her makeup. But Emily was lost in thought, holding a makeup brush, and her cheeks were getting redder and redder.They stayed together last night, and Janet quickly figured out what was going on.
The door to the makeup room opened.Janet jumped up in surprise and excitement. “Jackson!”“Yeah,” Jackson frowned, but his gaze was fixed on Emily. “Come with me, I need to talk to you.”Jackson was the same as always. No, now he was even more flamboyant. He had dyed his hair blonde, wore a brown and black leather jacket, studded boots, and had skull earrings, which were a bit scary.Especially with his frowning, impatient look, he still made people feel uneasy.Janet was stunned for a moment, looking back and forth between Jackson and Emily. “You guys... know each other?”Emily explained, “I used to work for him. I was responsible for the makeup of the models at his car show.”“Oh, I see.”Jackson was already getting impatient. He walked past Janet and grabbed Emily's wrist, pulling her out.Emily was startled, stumbling and almost falling, a cold sweat breaking out.“Slow down, I'm pregnant...”Jackson suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing with cold light. “What's going on between yo
Jackson said, “He got what he deserved. You don’t need to feel sorry for him.”Emily replied, “That’s business. I don’t understand it, and I won’t feel sorry. Everyone walks their own path, and he chose his.”“If you’d thought this way earlier, it would have been better.”There was a knock on the door from outside. It was Amanda’s voice: “Emily, are you in there?”Jackson glared at her. “Who is it?”Emily answered, “Lucas’s agent.”Jackson quipped, “Is she your boss too?”“...Sort of.”“How many bosses do you have, Emily?” Jackson laughed wryly. “Whatever, you’re under Vincent’s spell now, and nothing I say will get through to you. Like you said, it’s my fault for showing up too late. But I want you to remember, you’re not the same as before. When Nathan abandoned you, you were all alone. This time it’s different. If Vincent ever treats you badly, you can always come to me.”Emily smiled, “He treats me very well.”“I hope so. A lifetime is long, and no one can predict what will happen
Lucas nodded, "Alright, it’s a duo shoot. I can’t film without her. I’ll wait a bit longer."The director wiped the sweat off his forehead, relieved, and went to film other couples.An hour passed.According to the schedule, the morning was for setting up and makeup, with filming officially starting at 2 PM and ending at 10 PM. It was now 4:30 PM, and Barbara still hadn’t arrived.If they continued waiting, they’d be filming until dawn.Amanda returned, surprised. “You haven’t started shooting? Barbara isn’t here yet?”Lucas smiled wryly, “I guess she hasn’t even left her home yet.”Amanda was annoyed. “You have a flight tomorrow morning to another city for work. If we wait any longer, you won’t get any sleep tonight.”Lucas shrugged.“No way, I’m going to find the director.”When she found the director, Amanda immediately erupted.“...Overslept? What do you mean she overslept? First, she says she’s in the parking lot, then she’s on the highway, and now she just woke up? Is this show
On the way back, Amanda and Emily huddled together, watching a brief clip of the shoot.How should they put it?Lucas’s look today exuded the aura of an exceptional senior from university. With Olivia present, he spoke less and seemed colder, reminiscent of his rock rebel persona on stage.Olivia, on the other hand, truly embodied the look of a cute Cinderella.She was adorable, with a hint of clumsiness, and her eyes were full of Lucas. She perfectly allowed girls to project themselves into her, creating strong resonance.Amanda said, “A superstar and a intern, it sounds like a romantic drama. I think it’s not bad. What do you think, Emily?”From the footage alone, Emily thought it was quite good too.But...She had known Olivia for many years. The Olivia she knew wasn’t like this...Growing up together, Olivia had always played the “protector” role, always helping Emily. The girl in the video didn’t seem like the Olivia she knew.Emily said, “Let’s see the audience’s feedback when t
The assistant froze, startled.The man in front of him had an extraordinary presence and a tall, impressive stature, clearly not an ordinary person. But he was wearing a white mask, which was quite intimidating."Emily..."Emily smiled apologetically at the assistant. "Sorry, just give him my luggage. This is my fiancé."The assistant suddenly understood. "I see. He’s wearing a mask—could he be a celebrity too?"Emily said, "You guys go up first. We’ll handle my luggage.""Alright, we’ll go find Amanda then. Emily, are you staying at this hotel tonight?"Was she the type to forget work once she had a man?"I...""She’s not staying here," Mr. Satan had already taken her luggage, speaking softly. "I’ll inform Amanda. Thank you for taking care of Emily on the way."Despite his cold demeanor, Mr. Satan was very polite. The assistants waved their hands quickly. "No need to thank us. The concert is the day after tomorrow, Emily. Just come early that morning. You can rest these two days!"Th
