Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 242 Jackson’s Promise
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
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 244 A New Couple
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

Emily found herself unable to utter the words. It wasn't that she didn't want to; she was just too shy.Mr. Satan was slightly disappointed but gently squeezed her hand. "No rush. I can wait."He turned on the room's lights, instantly illuminating the space brightly.Emily looked at his masked face, hesitating. "We don’t have to turn on the lights. I'm used to it."Mr. Satan replied, "I've also grown accustomed to darkness, but now I want to experience the light.""But wearing a mask in the room must be uncomfortable," Emily said. "Let’s turn off the lights. After all, it’s just a week. I can wait."She turned off the lights, and the room returned to complete darkness.Mr. Satan held her hand, standing right in front of her.In the darkness, Emily’s hand gradually found the white mask on his face and moved to untie the string at the back of his head. She removed the mask.She could feel Mr. Satan's breathing become noticeably heavier."Emily."Emily paused, holding the mask. "Yes?"Mr
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 247 We’re Getting Married
Emily felt cheerful.Upon waking up, Emily received a call from Amanda.“Emily, are you up?”“I’m up…”It was already past ten. If she slept any longer, it would be noon.Amanda chuckled. “Glad I didn't disturb you. I waited until this time to call. If you’re awake, come over. Lucas is doing a makeup trial today, and we need you.”Emily agreed, “Okay, I’ll get a taxi right away.”Berlin was not as big as she had imagined, and she arrived quickly at the venue Amanda had mentioned.This venue was the largest football stadium in Berlin, capable of holding nearly 100,000 people.Amanda had chosen this place for Lucas’s concert. She had done thorough research on Lucas’s fanbase and was confident that all 100,000 seats would be filled.Emily had always thought it was impressive when she heard on the news that a celebrity had held a concert for ten thousand people. She never imagined that Lucas, in just one year since his debut, could hold a concert for 100,000 people.Lucas's rise to fame w

Emily chuckled, "She hasn't even realized she's the future Mrs. Parker. How could she think comprehensively?"Amanda laughed, "You're right."At the celebration party, everyone drank a bit too much.Especially a few male staff members, who started draping arms around each other and lamenting about their hardships for the concert."I lost seven or eight pounds!""My hair’s half gone!""My girlfriend broke up with me..."Indeed, the last statement was the most severe.The others patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, "Bro, if you really like her, go get her back! There's nothing much to do here in Berlin now. We’ll cover for you. Go apologize and win her back."Lucas heard this too and said, "You should go. I don't need you for the next few days. This is more important."Emily sipped her juice slowly. It was only now she realized that the one who lost his girlfriend was Lucas's assistant. He had helped her with her luggage once, though Mr. Satan took over after arriving.She had a g

Amanda's smile seemed a bit forced. Emily was getting more and more worried. “Why don’t you ask a male colleague to go with you? It’s really not safe for you to go alone. Better be careful.”Amanda laughed bitterly. “Emily, do you know who’s looking for me?”Emily shook her head.“It’s the local gang,” Amanda said. “But these people are easy to deal with. They saw our concert was a huge hit and wanted to collect some protection money. I just need to give them some cash. But I can't take you back to the hotel tonight. You should stay here at this hotel, don’t go back. You’re pregnant, you need to be careful.”Emily nodded. “I understand.”“I’m leaving now. Confirm your return time with me and send me a message. I’ll book your tickets.”With that, Amanda hurried away.Berlin was chilly at dawn, and Emily couldn’t help but shiver. She had a bad feeling.She went to the front desk and booked a room, took the elevator, swiped her card, and opened the door.All her luggage was still in the

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.

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.

Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 472 The Final Revelation
"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?
