Grace’s expression instantly changed. "You think you can pin it all on me? ""How can it be pinning it on you when it’s what you did? Oh, and I remember, wasn’t I already at the airport when you used my phone to call Emma? Grace, how could you do that, especially when you were still married to your ex-husband? You see, it all makes sense now."Grace’s brows furrowed deeply. "Logan, don’t forget, Herry is your only son. If you really want to destroy me, I can guarantee you’ll never find Herry for the rest of your life."Logan shrugged indifferently. "Herry is my only son, but I’m only in my fifties. Once Emily marries into the Norman family, my status will elevate further. Many women will be eager to bear my children.""Ha!" Grace suddenly burst into a wild laugh. "Good thing I prepared something. I never trusted you, you beast."Her gaze dropped to Logan’s lower abdomen, and she smirked coldly. "Logan, you probably can’t perform with women anymore, can you?"Logan felt a chill under h
The car fell into a sudden silence.Emily waited for Mr. Satan's answer, but this time he was unusually quiet.He still wore his silver mask, and Emily couldn’t see his expression.Was his silence an admission, pain, or anger?She hoped he would refute her assumption, proving her suspicion wrong.But he didn’t.Emily gave a bitter smile and said, "I thought I wouldn’t become a resentful woman, but I did."Mr. Satan lowered his eyes, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. "What did Emma tell you? Besides your mother's situation.""Something I already knew," Emily sniffled. "Mr. Satan, I want to ask you a question, and I want the truth.""In two days," Mr. Satan said, "in two days...""In two days, the court will finalize the bankruptcy liquidation of the Reed family. Nathan and Carol will be left with nothing," Emily said. "So your initial target was always the Reed family, right?"Mr. Satan remained silent."Yes," Emily took a deep breath, voicing her thoughts. "With your abilitie
Emily smiled faintly. "He was sentenced to two years, but with a two-year probation. He might not even have to serve time in prison.""What?" Olivia was puzzled. "Doesn't that mean he goes to prison after two years?""Olivia," Emily explained, "Nathan isn’t facing karma. He messed with the wrong person."Olivia scooted closer, sitting beside her. "Who? You?""No, his brother," Emily turned to Olivia. "His biological brother."Emily vividly remembered the conversation from that day.Mr. Satan had always been straightforward, even when revealing his secret.When Mr. Satan was five, he wasn’t a victim of an accidental fire; it was arson.He watched as his mother spread alcohol throughout the room and then Nathan pushed him into the bedroom, locking the door from the outside.He thought his mother and brother were playing hide-and-seek. He counted to a hundred before trying to find them.But the door wouldn’t budge, and the room was empty.His mother had taken Nathan to safety, standing o
She glanced at Emily, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions.Emily sensed something was off and frowned, "What's wrong?""Mr. Satan said... Emma is dead."Emma..."She's dead?!" Emily's heart sank. "How did she die?"Was it because of the blow she dealt?But Olivia and Allen Parker had rushed to handle it. They wouldn't have left an injured Emma to fend for herself.Olivia knew everything. Emma was the only witness who could testify against Grace and Logan. Olivia would never let Emma die."The doctor said she bled out and couldn't be saved..." Olivia was stunned. "It doesn't make sense. Allen Parker brought a doctor that day. I saw the doctor bandage her wounds. How could she bleed out..."Emily thought of something important. "When you left, was Emma still in that house in the countryside? Did anyone else go there?"Olivia nodded. "She was always there. She's a fugitive. There was no reason to move her. Jackson found that place. He went there, then it was me and Allen Parker... Cou
Emily's phone rang.Olivia asked, "Is it Mr. Satan?"Emily shook her head. "It's Meggie."...Emily had been abroad for a while and hadn't visited the Norman family in a long time.Bella waited at the door, smiling. "Did you have a good time abroad? Meggie has been missing you."Emily smiled softly. "Is she feeling better?""Much better!" Bella said happily. "She looks much healthier and even has the strength to copy the Bible. She said she's praying for your baby. By the way, why didn't Vincent come with you? Meggie called him. She wanted him to bring you home for dinner."Emily hadn't received any call from Mr. Satan.She took her phone out of her bag to check. The signal was full, and the battery was sufficient. She could receive calls and texts anytime.But... there were no records at all.He really hadn't contacted her.Emily's smile was a bit forced. "He must have been too busy with work and forgot it."Bella supported her as they walked inside, disapproving. "You're pregnant no
Emily forced a smile. "He's busy. It's just me today."Bryden's mouth dropped open in surprise. "No way? He cares about you so much, how could he not come with you, especially since you're pregnant..."This was a question she didn't know how to answer.She didn't even know why things had suddenly turned out this way.When she left for Germany, their relationship was still very good. They had agreed to reveal everything within a week and then get married; he even said he would help her reclaim everything...Could it be because of what she said in the car that day, which angered Mr. Satan?Was he upset that she had figured out his true identity without his consent?Or was it because she questioned his motives for approaching her?Emily suddenly felt a pang of regret.She had been too foolish. Why did she have to rush to clarify everything? Mr. Satan was such a proud person. It must have hurt him to be doubted by his own woman.Emily laughed at herself and said, "I probably made him angr
Emily was taken aback by his words. Before, she might have felt shy or happy about such a statement, but today, happiness was beyond her reach.She was almost six months pregnant, and today was the first time she learned where the father of her child's company was.Bryden continued, "Emily, my brother is truly an extraordinary man. He's my role model. To be honest, I don't even respect my father as much as I respect my brother. Although my mother can be difficult, my brother loves you so much that he'll definitely protect you well. You don't need to worry too much.""Do you really think he loves me?""Of course!" Bryden was taken aback by her question. "Isn't it obvious how much my brother cares for you? Emily, I have told you before, he's liked you for many years. When you got married, he was devastated. I've never seen him so downcast."Emily asked, "Sorry to ask, but did he ever tell you that the woman he's liked for many years is me?"Bryden froze, pausing for a long moment.His f
All the blood rushed to Emily's head, leaving her momentarily unable to react.The woman, seemingly not hearing a response, asked again, "Hello? Who is this?"Emily was still in shock.Mr. Satan had once told her that this number was his private number! Only his assistant and she knew it!But why was this woman answering his phone?Did Mr. Satan allow this?The woman's voice was unfamiliar. Emily was certain she had never heard it before. This woman wasn't anyone she had ever met.It meant one thing. Mr. Satan had protected this woman well.Who was she...Emily felt her doubts almost bursting out of her body, but her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, unable to utter a single word.The woman muttered, somewhat puzzled, "Why aren't you speaking? The call connected...""Whose call?" A man's voice came from a distance.It was him!Emily's heart leaped into her throat. It was him, Mr. Satan!Even though she hadn't seen his face, Emily was very familiar with his voice!A growing
