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

    That night was the most disgusting one Sophia had experienced in her twenty-five years.By morning, when she walked out of the room, she could barely stand.She called Grace, “Mom, come pick me up.”Grace heard the weakness in her voice and, instead of being worried, was excited, “Did you succeed?”“Yeah…” Sophia gritted her teeth, “Mom, I’ve been doing everything you told me, trying to please Sam. But he’s terrifying. I don’t think I can take much more. I’m scared I won’t hold out…”Grace felt a pang of sympathy, “Sophia, don’t blame me. I’m doing this for our future. Emily is already powerful, and Logan is unreliable. We need to find a strong backing quickly.”Sophia leaned against the wall, her whole body aching and bent over, “Mom, can you come get me…”“Have Chloe pick you up. I’m out handling something.”Sophia felt a surge of anger, “What do you have to do? Mom, I really feel awful!”“I’m having breakfast with Mandy,” Grace lowered her voice, “Meggie doesn’t have much time left

    Grace understood Mandy's thoughts very well, so she became even more attentive to her.A few days ago, Mandy mentioned that she liked having morning tea. So, every day, Grace would wake up early, go to the most famous morning tea place to grab a spot, order Mandy’s favorite dim sum, and wait until the tea cooled to the perfect drinking temperature for when Mandy arrived.When it came to pleasing someone, Grace had been doing it for over twenty years. Now, it was just a different person she needed to flatter, which wasn’t difficult for her.And Mandy was much easier to please than Logan.Grace only had to listen to Mandy's complaints, join in with her scolding of Alex and Meggie, and flatter her.Grace smiled slightly, stood up, and refilled Mandy's teacup, pretending to be deeply sympathetic. "Yes, it’s really hard for us women. We serve our husbands for a lifetime, give them children, and end up being the ones blamed. Their hearts are never truly with us."Mandy nodded in agreement.

    Mandy stormed her way back home.Bryden had just woken up and was eating breakfast. Mandy glanced at him and asked, “Where’s your father?”“Huh?” Bryden frowned deeply. He had gone to bed early the night before, and when he woke up this morning, he saw the news about Emily, which made him too upset to eat breakfast. He hadn't paid much attention to Mandy's question.“I’m talking to you!” Mandy snatched the phone from his hand and tossed it aside, noticing that he was also reading the news. She sneered, “You’ve seen it too? This woman is utterly shameless! Do you still want someone like her as your sister-in-law?”When Bryden first saw the pictures, he was shocked and in disbelief. However, he gradually calmed down.The woman in the photos bore some resemblance to Emily in profile, but all the pictures were blurry and unclear, clearly intended to mislead everyone.He shook his head firmly, “Mom, I don’t think that woman is Emily.”Mandy’s eyes widened in anger, “The evidence is right i

    "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.

    “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.

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?
