Emily’s old home was just a tiny house. She had lived there for twenty years, cleaning it herself, and she had never found anything related to her mother.Mr. Satan said, "Maybe we should visit your adoptive father."Emily looked up at him.Mr. Satan hugged her. "Whether it's your mother's belongings or our upcoming marriage, we should let him know."...At the hospital, it was lunchtime, and the quiet hospital became lively.Emily brought some chicken soup, while Mr. Satan carried a lot of gifts, following behind her as they walked in.William looked much better. Though his movements were still stiff and his speech a bit unclear, he was much improved.Seeing him, Emily couldn't hold back her tears."How are you feeling? Do you have any discomfort?" Emily sat by the bed, looking at the many needle marks on William's hand with concern.William was her only remaining family in this world.William gave Emily a comforting smile. "Emily, you're here. Don't worry, the doctors here are the b
Hearing this, William's face darkened even more. He was about to fiercely criticize Logan Morgan, but then he noticed the hidden pain in Emily's eyes.William sighed softly. Despite all the grudges that made Emily despise Logan Morgan, they were still father and daughter in the end.William swallowed his words and said, "Emily, Logan Morgan is not a good man. Such people always put their interests first. If you give him any hope... he'll use your name to do things.""Stay away from him," William urged repeatedly. His tone was heavy, and his eyes focused on Emily's slightly swollen belly. "When you have time, you must have the wedding with your boyfriend. Don't have a child out of wedlock... I don't want you to follow in your mother's footsteps."William's eyes were already moist as he spoke.He had always treated Emily as his own daughter, hoping she would live a good life more than anyone else.Emily felt a lump in her throat and quickly gripped William's hand tightly. "I came to see
Standing nearby, the nurse said, "You've got him wrong. That girl was just brought in by ambulance. She was unconscious. The elevator is broken today, and it was this gentleman who carried her up the stairs, heading to the emergency room."William was taken aback. "…The elevator is broken?""Yes," the nurse said with a sigh, "You've been in your room, so you didn’t know. If it wasn't for this gentleman, that girl might have been in even more danger..."The truth came out, and William could only sigh."Are you still thirsty?" Emily asked.William waved his hand and lay back on the bed. He wasn't really thirsty; he was just worried about Vincent.William had never met Vincent before, nor had he heard about him. Suddenly being told they were getting married and that Emily was already pregnant made him uneasy.Most importantly, he now had no good feelings towards wealthy men.He used to be so satisfied with Nathan, but now he was full of regret.Emily had sacrificed her future for this fa
William took a careful look at Mr. Satan.He was tall, had a calm demeanor, and looked reliable, except for a scar on his face.From a distance, it wasn’t noticeable, but up close, the scar stood out.Oddly enough, this made William feel more at ease.Emily had mentioned he never had a girlfriend before, probably because of the scar.But a scar isn’t a disease or anything serious. As long as he treated Emily well, the scar isn't a problem."I heard from Emily that your last name is Norman?"Mr. Satan nodded. "Yes, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Vincent. I started my own company. I have a father and grandmother, and a younger brother and sister."Emily looked up at him.Hearing this from Mr. Satan sounded a bit surreal to her.It was like an employee reporting to their boss."Good, that reassures me. Emily doesn’t have much family, so it’s nice you have a big family. I don’t need to say more; you know what I mean."Mr. Satan nodded lightly. "Yes, I understand.""Alright," William sa
Herry grumbled impatiently, "So embarrassing."He pulled Emily inside, hesitated for a moment, then pulled Mr. Satan in as well, slamming the door shut and locking it from the inside.Emily asked him, "Have you seen the news about Sophia?""Yeah," Herry replied nonchalantly. "It’s disgusting. She deserves all the criticism she's getting."Emily felt a wave of awkwardness.Even though the critical parts of the photos were blurred, they were still inappropriate for a minor.Many of the images were explicit, and Herry was only twelve years old."Boys at his age know everything," Mr. Satan observed, understanding her concern.Herry sat on the edge of the bed, swinging his legs back and forth, eyeing Mr. Satan. "You’re the guy who’s been hanging around outside our building waiting for my sister, right?"Mr. Satan raised an eyebrow, "You know me?""I’m not blind. I saw you at the haunted house before, too. You were wearing a mask, so I didn’t see your face." Herry’s eyes shifted between Emi
Sophia ignored the pain from her injuries and rushed over, clinging to Logan, "Dad, please, take me away from here. I have nowhere else to go..."Sophia wasn't lying.She couldn't stay here any longer.Everyone looked at her with disdain, and no matter what she did, people jumped at the chance to ridicule her.Sam treated her like a plaything, never regarding her as a human being. He had promised to give her $100,000 after they slept together, but now he wouldn’t even answer her calls!Not a single penny from the promised $100,000, and she spent the whole night with him! Her body was covered in bruises, and it hurt so much that even lifting her arm felt like her skin was tearing apart.Logan made no effort to hide the disgust on his face, "You’ve got the wrong person. Let go of me."People around them laughed, "Yeah, Sophia, can’t you even recognize your own dad now?"Sophia gritted her teeth, ignoring the jeers.With Sam not answering her calls, she had to cling to Logan; otherwise,
"So, you abandoned us?""Us?" Logan shot her a cold glance. "Get it straight, your mother and I were together for over twenty years. As for you? You’re just a security guard’s daughter. When you were Nathan’s wife, I could temporarily acknowledge you as my daughter. But now, who are you? Your reputation is ruined. Why would I want any association with you?"Sophia let out a bitter laugh. "Yes, you’re Mr. Morgan now, and I’m the s.lut everyone hates.""Have you seen the news?"Sophia lowered her head, closing her eyes wearily. "How much does Vincent love Emily? Those photos took me a lot of effort to find, but he found them all in one night. For Emily, he really spares no effort.""Really?" Logan's face showed a hint of pleasure.The better Vincent treated Emily, the happier Logan was.Logan understood Emily's soft nature. As long as he could evoke her emotions and make her abandon her hatred, she would acknowledge him as her father. With Vincent’s love for Emily, Logan’s future would
Emily turned around and left.When she returned to the house, she saw a crowd gathered at the door.There were many familiar faces among them.Just as she was about to walk over, someone gently grabbed her arm. "Emily... Is it really you? Emily, you’ve finally come back!"Emily smiled and greeted her. "Hello."The woman holding her hand was the same one who had just made Sophia speechless.The woman clung to her hand, speaking continuously. "It’s good that you’re back. Just now, Sophia tried to buy something and didn’t pay. We all saw her news. You shouldn’t bother with her anymore. Just live your own life well. She’s not worth it."The woman's voice was loud, and many people around heard her.They all came over to greet Emily.Emily had been away for five years.She had transformed from a naive twenty-one-year-old girl into a mature woman.Although her demeanor had changed, her appearance was still the same, making it easy for people to recognize her.Everyone asked about her current
