"Ah—"Emily let out a scream, feeling the wind rush past her ears.Who could it be? Sophia, Grace, or perhaps Logan Morgan, trying to silence her?In those split seconds, countless possibilities flashed through her mind.But then—"Emily, don't be afraid, it's me."Standing in front of her was a jet-black motorcycle, its design exuding an air of arrogance. The front headlights were blinding, and the engine roared. He twisted the throttle, making the engine rumble loudly.The air was filled with a faint scent of gasoline.Emily frowned, looking at the person on the motorcycle..."Mr. Satan?"He wore only a black shirt, the tie loosely draped. His face was obscured by a helmet, making him unrecognizable.Emily recognized him by his physique and voice."You..." she looked at him, astonished, "What's going on?"Mr. Satan chuckled, one foot on the ground, arms crossed as he looked down at her. "Jackson said I live too by-the-book, depriving you of the dating experience. I thought about it
Despite being mentally prepared, Emily was still taken aback by the company's system as she visited other floors.It was almost five in the afternoon, with half an hour to go before the end of the workday. Yet, employees were steadily arriving, taking their seats, and beginning their work.Contrary to her expectations, the employees were not in formal suits but dressed comfortably and casually.The men mostly wore simple T-shirts and jeans, while the women showcased a variety of styles—some were dressed sensually, others looked pure and cute, some in casual or sportswear, and a few young girls in princess dresses, looking like they had stepped out of a fairy tale."Wow, Emily!"A girl in a princess dress exclaimed in delight, waved to her companions, and ran over. "Emily, did you come to the company to find me?"As the girl got closer, Emily recognized her. "Janet, I didn't expect to meet you here.""You're about to become my brother's wife, so I'm ready to receive gifts!"A hand behi
Mr. Satan always had a plan for everything. Now that they had revealed all their secrets and pasts, she still trusted his judgment and supported his actions.But...Emily gently nudged him, signaling him not to be too affectionate. She felt a bit shy.Mr. Satan didn't mind. He kept his arm around her waist, maintaining the close posture. "Bryden, did you come over today for something specific?"Bryden's gaze shifted between Mr. Satan and Emily, puzzled and slightly embarrassed. "You haven't been home for a few days. Grandma misses you."Mr. Satan nodded. "Alright, we'll go home together tonight and have dinner with Grandma."The more relaxed Mr. Satan acted, the more agitated Bryden felt.But why he was agitated, he couldn't quite explain.There was a pent-up frustration within him, pressing against his chest, making him uncomfortable. He had to say some things, no matter what."Brother, there's something I need to ask you about. Can we talk in your office?"Just then, Janet arrived,
After Bryden and Janet had a big argument, it was as if nothing had happened.Janet brought up her recent troubles, "Being a celebrity is such a high-pressure job. It's really challenging my mental toughness. Lately, my Twitter and Facebook comment sections are full of people bashing me."Bryden got angry instantly, "What are they saying? What right do they have to bash you?"Janet shrugged, "What else? It's because of that reality show with Lucas. He and Olivia were such a hit as a duo, and a lot of fans can't stand me. They came to bash me and tell me to quit the show. Haha, but it doesn't bother me at all. All they can do is talk. Besides, Olivia quit, and I stepped in to save the day. Lucas really appreciates it.""Save the day?""Of course," Janet said proudly, "Lucas was too scared to continue filming with Olivia. I was his lifeline. Oh right, today’s his concert. It's about time I go support him."Janet stood up and waved at Emily, "I'm off.""Go ahead," Emily said, looking stu
Mr. Satan chuckled softly, "Why do you ask that?""Because, in my understanding, if you like someone, your heart should be full of her, and there shouldn't be anyone else.""You're right.""But there's something that confuses me," Bryden continued, "I’ve always admired the relationship between you and Emily. But that day when she left our house, I could tell she was very sad and disappointed. On the way home, when we passed by your company, she kept looking out at it. She didn’t say anything, but I could tell from the rearview mirror that she was unhappy. And it was because of you."Mr. Satan took a deep breath, gripping the railing with both hands, "So, it was because of that.""You knew about this?""I know everything about her, Bryden. But this is between us. I don't think it's necessary to explain it to you."Bryden was taken aback, furrowing his brows, "Yes, you don’t have to explain it to me, but I want to know the reason. I don’t want to see her sad."Mr. Satan turned to look a
Meggie continued her chattering.Bella tried to console her, “Now that her kids are grown up, maybe Mandy just wants to go out and relax a bit?”“It’s not that I’m against her going out to relax. I’m just worried…” Meggie furrowed her brows. “I’m worried that her friends might not be the best company and that could lead to trouble for her.”Bella helped her stand up, “You always say that everyone has their own fate. Let Mandy handle her own decisions. You can’t control everything. Alex will keep an eye on her.”“I know my son. He’s not sensitive to these things. He’s not like Vincent…”At that moment, Mr. Satan arrived with Emily in tow.Emily greeted cheerfully, “Meggie!”“Oh, my granddaughter-in-law is here!” Meggie’s face lit up with a smile. “Come, Emily, sit next to Grandma.”Mr. Satan kept his arm around Emily’s waist, showing no intention of letting go.Meggie playfully scolded him, “You rascal, what’s this? Are you afraid I’ll steal your wife away?”Mr. Satan smirked, “We have
Ultimately, due to Emily’s firm refusal, Mr. Satan did not join her in the shower.As the baby grew, Emily became more cautious, knowing nothing was more important than the little one inside her.Although disappointed, Mr. Satan felt for her, giving her a gentle kiss on the corner of her lips before grabbing his robe and heading into the bathroom.Emily went to the wardrobe to pick out his outfit for work tomorrow.It was strange. His employees dressed so casually, and he rarely showed up at the office, but he always wore suits. His wardrobe was mostly filled with shirts and suits, with only a few casual pieces.Emily chose a black shirt, paired it with a dark blue checkered tie, and finally selected a charcoal suit, folding everything neatly and placing it on the bench at the foot of the bed so he could easily reach it in the morning.She had become quite adept at this task, knowing the exact placement of every item in his wardrobe.Once they got married, they would have to move from
Mr. Satan sat beside her, checking his phone for a moment, his brow furrowed deeply. "Are these all really her? Her behavior is beyond my imagination."Emily sighed, "She started dating in middle school. After she went to college, she became more and more outrageous."Mr. Satan murmured, "Like mother, like daughter.""But my adoptive father is a very honest man. I don't understand why Sophia turned out this way. We received the same education and attended the same schools. I've always been puzzled by the huge difference between us."Mr. Satan said, "It's just their nature. It has nothing to do with upbringing or material conditions."He tapped the screen with his finger, "I've found it.""What?""The IP address of the posts," Mr. Satan said. "These accounts are from the same company. The posts were indeed published simultaneously."Emily was taken aback. "A company? Where would Sophia get the money to hire a company for this?"Mr. Satan squinted at her. "Emily, your understanding of s
