Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 323 The Clueless Olivia
"Are you sure you bought this at the hospital?"Olivia nodded innocently. "Yeah, why would I lie to you? I got it from the hospital where my dad was admitted. Pretty great, right?"Great was an understatement.This was a spread of "luxury items."There were lobsters, sea cucumbers, abalone, and king crabs—it was like Olivia had brought a seafood buffet home.Emily's eyes darted around, and she quickly figured out what was going on.She asked, "Did Allen visit Mr. Taylor in the hospital?"Olivia casually responded as she unpacked the boxes, "Uh-huh. He's been coming to the hospital every day lately instead of going to work. But I've figured it out.""What did you figure out?""I figured out why he comes to the hospital every day!"Emily's eyes widened. Could it be that her clueless friend had finally caught on?Had Allen Parker finally seen the light?But Olivia's next words stunned her."Emily, I've realized that all capitalists have one thing in common—they love getting things for fr
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 324 Does He Like Me?
Olivia thought she wasn’t good at math.The calculations Emily had just done weren't that complicated, but why was she only now getting it?Emily continued, "And have you noticed that every time you and Lucas get close, Allen quickly calls you away?"Olivia frowned, looking annoyed. "He just wants me to work more.""But why doesn't he call anyone else, only you? Even if he needs someone to work, isn’t Amanda more capable?""Emily, I’m a bit slow," Olivia scratched her head, holding Emily’s hand. "Are you saying Allen Parker is actually nice to me?"Emily nodded. "Of course he is. I see it clearly from the side."Olivia still didn’t believe it. "But... he's so annoying...""What do you find annoying about him?""For example, he deducts my pay and has kept me on an intern salary for a long time."Emily nodded, speaking gently, "But if he had offered you a really high salary right from the start, say ten thousand dollars a month, would you have dared to take it?"Olivia shook her head li

Ten minutes later, Allen Parker was standing outside room 2307 at the Hilton.Emily opened the door for him."Hello, Emily."Allen was polite, but Emily could see the sweat on his forehead.In this late autumn weather, with the wind blowing outside, the fact that he was sweating showed how anxious he was."Hello," Emily said, "Come in, Olivia is inside."Allen Parker stepped inside.Hearing the noise, Olivia buried herself under the covers on the guest bed, wrapping herself up like a chubby caterpillar.Emily said, "You two talk, I’ll be in the kitchen."Allen Parker nodded, "Thank you."Emily smiled without saying anything, leaving the guest room for the two of them and heading to the kitchen.Olivia lay facing away from the door, not showing any intention of turning around.She felt a mix of surprise and anger.If what Emily said was true, that Allen Parker liked her, why didn’t he just say it? Why deduct her salary!She couldn’t stand the salary deduction!Just then, a warm hand re
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 326 Unexpected Encounter
The argument in the bedroom suddenly ceased.They didn’t come out afterward.Emily understood.She grabbed her keys and phone, and left the room. These two, one had love but wouldn’t express it, the other couldn’t see the other’s feelings. For them to finally express their feelings was no easy feat. She decided to give them some space to be alone together.With that thought, Emily felt that room 2307 at the Hilton Hotel was quite a magical place.It seemed like a room designed for creating couples.As for the movie? She’d watch it alone.There was a cinema not far from the Hilton Hotel. Emily bought a ticket and waited outside for the screening to begin.Mr. Satan called her: “You went out?”“Yes,” Emily briefly explained the situation with Allen Parker and Olivia to him: “I thought I should give them some space.”“Hmm,” Mr. Satan didn’t comment further: “Are you okay by yourself? Do you want me to come with you?”Emily refused: “No. Focus on your work. I’m just pregnant, not incapabl
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 327 You Can't Enter
Another young couple behind them voiced their impatience: “Exactly. You knew one adult can bring one child, yet you still brought two. I can’t stand kids in the cinema. They’re noisy and disruptive, ruining the movie experience. Cinemas should ban kids or have special screenings for them. It’s really annoying otherwise…”The young mother looked crestfallen and hurriedly left the line with her children.“Wait—”Emily quickly stepped forward, calling after the young mother.The young mother apologized as she saw Emily: “I can’t join you for the movie, but the seats next to yours are all mine. You should have more space to yourself.”“You know that’s wasting resources, right? You bought those seats, so others couldn’t. What about people who wanted to watch this movie?”It was the young couple again, likely college students, speaking rudely. The boy was silent, but the girl’s disdain for the children was evident, her face twisted with irritation.Even though the mother had stepped out of
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 328 You Stole My Phone
The audience who had already left realized their phone was missing, likely left behind in the cinema.Soon, the same college girl who had caused a commotion at the entrance rushed back inside, heading straight for the edge of the ninth row, searching frantically.“My phone is missing! There’s a thief in this cinema!”Her boyfriend hurried over: “Did you really lose your phone?”The girl nodded vigorously: “It’s the new model I just bought. I’ve only had it for a few days. Someone must have stolen it in the dark during the movie!”The boyfriend frowned deeply: “If it’s lost, it’s lost. With so many people here, it’ll be hard to find.”“No way,” the girl refused outright: “I was sitting right here. Everyone was watching the movie. The thief must be among these people. I won’t let this slide. I need an explanation.”She then ran over to speak with the staff.The staff nodded and used a walkie-talkie to notify the broadcast station.Soon, an announcement asked the audience from rows six t

Everyone present was stunned.Emily, who appeared gentle and soft, could be this fierce?The girl was also taken aback, not expecting Emily to confront her directly.“What do you think you’re doing? Help, she’s hitting me!”The girl sat on the ground, crying loudly and making a scene: “You must be a gang of thieves! Stealing and then hitting people? Is there no law?”Law?Emily took off her jacket and covered the young mother with it, “How are you?”The young mother could barely speak through her pain, murmuring: “My children… My children…”“Your children are safe. I had your daughter take your son to the staff outside,” Emily reassured softly. “Can you get up?”The young mother sighed in relief: “I’m fine, as long as the children are okay…”Despite her words, Emily caught a faint scent of blood.She felt around under the young mother and found her hand coated in sticky crimson.“You’re bleeding. We need to get you to the hospital.”The young mother waved her off: “It’s nothing…”“Wha
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 330 Daddy Arrives
Emily asked, "What are your names?"By now, the girl was too scared to speak up. St. John’s was one of the best schools in the city, and her father had spent a lot of money to get her admitted. If she got into trouble or was expelled, her father would find out about her relationship with the boy and the mess she had caused.“We won’t call anyone,” the girl mumbled, her attitude shifting dramatically. “Alright, I apologize. Ladies, I’m sorry. Is that enough? Can we go now?”“Stop right there.” Emily’s voice was stern.The girl, annoyed, retorted, “I’ve already apologized. What more do you want? We didn’t call anyone, there was no fight. Even if Mary comes, she can’t do anything to us.”“Maybe Mary can’t, but the police can.”Emily turned to the manager. “This girl kicked this mother, who recently gave birth and is now bleeding. The extent of her injuries needs to be assessed at the hospital. Please call the police. Let them handle this.”The manager nodded. He didn’t want trouble in hi
