Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 289 Emily's Counterattack
The phone rang for what felt like an eternity, but Penelope didn't dare to reach for it.Eventually, the ringing ceased.Emily let out a cold chuckle and pocketed her phone.This farce had dragged on long enough.She stood up. "Penelope, this is our first meeting. I'm giving you a chance, so make the most of it."With that, she walked straight to the counter. "Hello, I'd like to settle the bill."The waiter responded quickly. "Yes, ma'am. Your total is seventy-four dollars."Emily smiled lightly. "Sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm only paying for my hot milk."The waiter blinked in confusion, then quickly recovered. "Oh, right. The milk is ten dollars.""Alright." Emily paid and left.As soon as she stepped outside, she saw a black SUV parked by the roadside.A familiar figure leaned against the car door, facing the café entrance.What was he doing?Watching the show?Emily walked past him and headed in the opposite direction.She had barely taken a few steps when she felt a pair of strong a

However, things did not go as smoothly as they had anticipated.Emily found herself cornered in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel.Mr. Satan had gone to park the car in the underground garage, leaving her to head upstairs alone. But to her surprise, Logan Morgan was waiting for her in the lobby.Logan Morgan, still dressed in his usual suit, greeted her with a warm, paternal smile. He blocked her path with confidence. "Emily."Emily frowned, taking a step back to maintain some distance.The image of him choking Grace in the alley still haunted her.Logan Morgan smiled again, maintaining his calm and affable demeanor. "Don’t be afraid. I’m your father; I won't hurt you. I must have startled you by showing up so suddenly."Emily glanced around. The hotel lobby was bustling as usual, with people coming and going, but no one seemed to notice them."What are you doing here?""My daughter," Logan Morgan said with a feigned tenderness. "You moved out of the house without telling me. I know every

Logan Morgan looked around stealthily. People had already recognized him, and some had taken out their phones to snap pictures and record videos.“Emily, things aren't as simple as you think. The events of those years were very complicated. You can’t just believe what Grace says...”Emily chuckled, nodding as she crossed her arms and sat down on the sofa. “Alright, I’m free today. Why don’t you tell me the whole story? I’d love to hear why you took your wife’s... oh no, your ex-wife’s designs to a competition and won first prize with them?”Logan’s face turned red with anger. “She told you about that?”“I told you, I know what I need to know. And what Grace wouldn’t say, others did.”Logan fell silent.Emily wasn’t in a rush. She sat while Logan stood, and she could see his eyes darting around, clearly calculating, trying to come up with an excuse that might convince her of his innocence.But Emily wasn’t stupid.Her bag vibrated with a call.She took out her phone and saw it was Mr.
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 292 Logan's Motive
His words made Emily understand just how shameless Logan could be.He could lie without even batting an eye.Emily thought sadly, did her mother choose to be with him because of his lies too?From appearance to family background and talent, Logan Morgan was not impressive, but his words were very convincing.Lisa was only twenty-two when she gave birth to her. Before that, she had been Logan Morgan's classmate for several years.A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, how could she possibly outwit such a calculating man?But it was too late to say anything now. Her mother had been gone for nearly twenty-seven years, while Logan lived a respectable life, enjoying wealth and praise thanks to the daughter she gave birth to—According to him, all the wrongs were Grace's doing. He was innocent."Really?" Emily's heart felt icy cold.Whether from guilt or realizing his lies wouldn't work, Logan stopped pretending, "Emily, you're grown up now, almost a mother yourself. You should be rational
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 293 His Scars
Emily looked up in surprise, “They plan to pin Emma's death on me?”“Yes,” Mr. Satan replied softly. “Jackson was too careless.”“He was just trying to help me...”“I know, which is why I don’t blame him. Emma, who had lost all morals for money, deserved her fate, but her death has made many things more complicated.”Emily's shoulders slumped. “It’s my fault. I couldn't hold back and ended up hurting her…”“I know,” Mr. Satan said, handing a cup of hot water and placing it in her hands. “Have some water. You've talked a lot today; you must be thirsty.”The glass was warm, almost hot, but drinkable—the perfect temperature.This was the temperature she was most accustomed to.She always had a sensitive stomach and preferred drinking water slightly hotter than usual, something Mr. Satan remembered.She took a small sip, feeling the warmth slide down her throat and settle comfortably in her stomach.He turned off the lights, plunging the room into darkness.Emily was startled, “Mr. Satan?
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 294 Mother's Design
The moonlight tonight was beautiful, streaming through the sheer curtains in delicate specks, falling on the bed, the floor, and the two of them.Under the moonlight, Mr. Satan's face gradually became clearer.Emily gazed at him, wanting to see every detail.If she ignored the scar on his face, he didn’t really resemble Nathan much.Nathan was good-looking too, or else he wouldn’t have attracted Sophia. But Nathan looked more like his mother, Carol, who had a delicate face but lacked some masculinity.Mr. Satan was different.His face was chiseled, exuding masculine strength and determination, with lips tightly pressed but not as thin as Nathan's.They say men with thin lips are usually unfaithful.Emily used to think it was superstition until she was deeply hurt by Nathan and woke up to reality.Luckily, Nathan was just a mistake, an isolated island, and her final destination was a firm and vast land.Mr. Satan held her hand, gently rubbing her palm, “I’m sorry, Emily…”“Why are you

Mr. Satan shared his thoughts with Emily."...The design copyright belongs to your mother personally, and she was not legally married to Logan. This means Logan has no right to inherit anything after her death, including that design. As her only daughter, with your authorization, I can turn it into reality."Emily licked her lips and asked, "Is this project very expensive?""I've already had the company conduct a cost analysis. Your mother's design concept is a modern pastoral city. The apartment buildings aren't very tall, with wide spacing to ensure plenty of sunlight, and large grassy areas for people to relax and play. She emphasized returning to nature. So, the cost isn't low, but for wealthy people, these apartments are far more attractive than ordinary residences. They're willing to pay a higher price for a high-quality living environment."Emily nodded, "You decide it.""Alright, I'll discuss the details with you once we have a plan.""Okay."Living in a Hilton hotel wasn’t ba
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 296 The Pink Outfit
The first two outfits and makeup were easy to handle.Emily had been styling Lucas for some time and was familiar with his image and temperament. She quickly completed her work.The black punk outfit showcased his wild side, while the shirt and jeans highlighted his gentleness. Under Emily’s skillful touch, these two contrasting vibes harmonized perfectly on Lucas without a hint of discord.Amanda and the intern makeup artist nodded in approval.The new intern was a young guy, unlike the young girl from before. He wasn’t very tall but seemed quite sharp.Amanda said, "Lucas has some PTSD now. He’s replaced his staff with men."Emily chuckled, "It's actually more convenient for work this way. Like for me, I have to avoid him when he changes clothes, and it's sometimes inconvenient to help him adjust his outfit."Amanda teased, "You're just worried your fiancé will be upset, right?"Before Emily could respond, Lucas pulled back the dressing room curtain and stuck his head out, looking d
