Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 261 Amanda's Substitute
The sky in Berlin was slowly brightening.Lucas had been out all night searching for Amanda. When he returned, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with guilt.Emily quickly called his assistant and helped Lucas into a room, laying him on the bed."I'll get him some water, Emily. Can you keep an eye on him?" the assistant said.Emily nodded.Judging by Lucas's appearance, he hadn't found Amanda.He lay on the bed with his arm over his face, lips tightly shut, not saying a word."Lucas...""Emily... I failed Amanda..."When Lucas spoke, Emily almost didn't recognize his voice.Lucas's voice used to be loud, deep, and slightly raspy, perfect for rock music. Now, it was rough and hoarse, barely coherent."I failed her..."Emily handed him some tissues. "Lucas, calm down. We need to stay strong to save Amanda."Lucas sniffled and wiped his face with his arm. "Did you call the police?""I did, but I don’t speak German. I got someone to help me report it, and the police are searching."Lucas

Emily couldn't help but laugh.Amanda shrugged, looking a bit exasperated. "Emily, I have a feeling.""What kind of feeling?""Sophia and Grace's good days are numbered," Amanda grinned. "She got someone to harm you, and that person turned out to be my first boyfriend. It's hilarious! Sophia is probably daydreaming right now. She thinks that if you were assaulted, the Norman family would reject you, and she would have a chance. Emily, do you think she's crazy? What benefit does she get from hurting you? Her reputation is already ruined. She'll never marry a rich man!"Emily's smile faded slightly. "Maybe she doesn't need any benefits. She just wants to see me suffer and feel happy.""She's a psychopath! When you were with Nathan, she seduced him. Now that you’re engaged to Mr. Norman, she's trying to marry into the Norman family again. Does she enjoy being a mistress and ruining other people's lives?"Emily sighed. "Who knows. Maybe being a mistress excites her more."Amanda patted he

Olivia had a whole series of activities planned for Emily.As soon as Emily got off the plane, Olivia picked her up. "I'm throwing you a bachelorette party.""A bachelorette party?""Yes, to celebrate your last moments of freedom before marriage. Once you're married, you'll be busy taking care of your husband and child, constantly running around the kitchen and bathroom."Emily chuckled awkwardly. "Olivia, you don't need to be so afraid of marriage.""That's impossible. Emily, I'm telling you, there's no way I would ever get married. If I have to take care of a man and be his maid, it better be God himself."Emily teased her, "Not even your idol, Lucas?"Olivia raised an eyebrow, keeping her eyes on the road. "An idol is just an idol. After meeting him, I'm even more certain. I like the Lucas in my head, not the real him. Seeing him still makes my heart race, but marry him? No way, not happening."Emily laughed. "What if you meet your true love?""True love? Emily, men in this world a
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 264 His True Identity
Dylan held Mr. Satan's phone in his hand, Emily's name displayed on the screen, but he couldn't answer it right now.The phone rang incessantly, making him anxious. When the ringing finally stopped, he breathed a sigh of relief.His boss had too many secrets, and Emily was too smart. He feared that if he answered, he might inadvertently reveal something and cause trouble for his boss.They were at a law firm. Mr. Satan had been inside for over two hours and still hadn't come out.A few minutes later, the phone rang again.It was Emily, once more.He endured another agonizing three minutes until the ringing stopped, nearly throwing the phone in frustration.Just then, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the law firm.Dylan, seeing his boss, hurried over as if he had seen a savior. "Boss...""Hmm?" Mr. Satan seemed distracted, lost in thought, and not particularly interested in talking.Dylan handed him the phone. "Boss, Emily called."Mr. Satan finally focused. "Did you answe

In the hospital.Dylan's injuries were more severe and he was taken for further examination. The doctor disinfected Mr. Satan's wounds, and bandaged them."...Luckily, your wounds aren't too deep. Keep them dry for the next seven days.""Hmm," Mr. Satan stood up to leave. "Thank you."The doctor sighed. "Sir, our hospital has an excellent plastic surgery department. There are many ways to remove the scars on your face. You don't need to wear a mask all the time—it must be quite inconvenient for your daily life..."Mr. Satan had heard this many times. Every time he visited the hospital, doctors would say the same thing.But he always refused.As a child, he thought the scar should serve as a reminder of the painful past and the betrayal he had endured. Even up until today, he felt the same.But now..."Doctor, is there a way to restore my original appearance?"The doctor pondered for a moment. "The best method is skin grafting. That would yield the best results.""How long would that t
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 266 How Did My Mother Die
The sky gradually darkened.The dusky sunlight seemed to be desperately emitting its last rays of warmth. The setting sun flushed red, straining to leave its final trace of heat on the land.Waves of heat rolled in, bringing with them the stifling warmth of evaporating dew from the countryside. In a confined space, the only sound was the faint crying, laden with fear, unwillingness, and despair.Jackson sat on a wooden bench, holding a yellowed diary, flipping through it page by page.At his feet, Emma had her hands bound. Her eyes and mouth were covered, rendering her blind and mute to her surroundings."Well, well, your handwriting is quite good."Jackson closed the diary, sneering. "For over twenty years, your perseverance is truly commendable. You've meticulously recorded every bribe you've taken."Emma's body shrank. "I've already been ruined. What more do you want from me?"Jackson smirked. "What do you think?""I..." Emma hesitated. "Are you a relative of one of my patients? Ho

Seeing Emma for the first time, Emily almost didn't recognize her.In her memory, Emma was a sharp and capable woman with short hair.But who was this disheveled, pitiful woman before her?Jackson walked over and nudged Emma with his foot. "Hey!"Emma shuddered in fear, curling up in the corner."Now, you answer whatever we ask, got it?"Emma nodded quickly. "I will, I will. I won't dare to lie."Her eyes were still covered, making it impossible to see who was in front of her. She tilted her head slightly, waiting for the questions to begin.Jackson took out a recorder from his pocket, switched it on, and placed it in front of Emma.He signaled to Emily with his eyes. "You can start."Emily nodded, taking a deep breath to calm herself."Twenty-seven years ago, there was a pregnant woman named Lisa. What was the cause of her death?"Upon hearing the name "Lisa," Emma's head shot up. "Who... who are you?""Tell me!!!"Emma hesitated for a moment, her body trembling like the withered lea
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 268 Mother's Blood
When the truth unfolded before her, Emily could barely hear what Emma was saying anymore. She only saw Emma's mouth moving, her expression a mix of guilt and more prominently, resentment.Who was she resenting?It was Emily's mother who died. What right did Emma have to be resentful?"Emily!""Emily!"Who was calling her?Emily frowned, feeling a sharp pain in her hand. Her hand was bleeding.Olivia was petrified by Emily's sudden action, standing there frozen. Jackson, though slightly more composed, also looked distressed.Emily’s hand still clutched two broken pieces of wood, with splinters scattered on the ground. The wood was stained with dark red spots. Whether it was paint or blood was unclear."Emily, I know you're in a lot of pain right now, but try to calm down..." Jackson held her hand, which was as cold as ice. He squeezed it, hoping his warmth could reach her, but Emily seemed soulless, hearing nothing, reacting to nothing.Olivia snapped out of her shock and hurriedly hel
