The party was scheduled for after work on Friday.The Starlight Entertainment building had several large halls, typically used for grand award ceremonies. The halls were spacious enough to comfortably accommodate both companies’ attendees.When Emily arrived with Mr. Satan, they only saw Allen Parker."Mr. Parker.""Emily.""Is Olivia not coming today?" Emily asked.Allen Parker smiled. "She... is still asleep."It was already past six in the evening, and she was still asleep?Hearing this, Mr. Satan smirked, pulling Emily closer. "Emily, let’s head inside."Emily, still concerned, asked, "Is Olivia sick? Why else would she still be asleep?"Mr. Satan leaned down to whisper in her ear, "…They probably stayed up too late last night… in bed."Emily’s face instantly turned red.She bit her lip, speechless.Seeing her reaction, Mr. Satan chuckled. "There’s nothing surprising about it. They’re grown adults and in the throes of a new relationship—it’s perfectly normal."Emily, still worried
Emily calmly replied, "My mother only gave birth to me; I don’t have a sister. I’m not sure who you’re talking about.""Are you pretending not to know?""And you’re doing the same."With just a few words, Emily effortlessly deflected Chloe’s attempt at provocation.Chloe’s lips were painted a striking red, and when she curled them into a smile, it gave her an air of harshness. "You’ve changed now that you have powerful backing. Marrying into the Norman family has really boosted your confidence. You’ve developed quite the temper.""We’re all the same," Emily said calmly. "Allen Parker and Olivia’s wedding is coming up soon. All your efforts have been in vain."Chloe’s face paled.She clearly didn’t expect Emily to know about her attempts to seduce Allen Parker.Chloe had entered the entertainment industry with the goal of marrying into a wealthy family. Allen Parker had indeed been her target, but with Emily being away from the company recently, how did she find out?"You seem to know
"Are you shy?" Satan asked, holding her close."Yes," Emily admitted.Satan tightened his grip around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. "I’m a little shy too."Emily glared at him. "Then why did you do that?""I couldn’t help myself."Emily’s face turned even redder.His voice dropped to a low murmur. "I couldn’t help wanting to tell the whole world that you’re mine."Emily playfully smacked him. "We both have a lot on our shoulders. It’s better to keep a low profile.""I know that," Satan replied, unable to suppress a smile. "But I just couldn’t help myself, so I did it."Emily teased, "We got kicked out because of you.""Are you blaming me?""Of course! You attract too much attention from the girls. Even with a mask on, you can’t stop them from admiring you."Satan chuckled. "Are you jealous?""No.""Really?""Really.""Alright, alright, you’re not jealous," Satan said, "So, where should we go now?"Emily wasn’t sure where they should go.Should they return to the company? Bu
Meanwhile, Allen Parker took Mr. Satan to his office.The entire floor was spacious and bright, filled with all kinds of relaxation and entertainment facilities—there was a movie room, a gaming room with the latest computers, and even a private dining area with a fridge packed full of goodies.Satan saw through it immediately. "You set all this up for Olivia, didn't you?"Allen Parker grabbed two cans of beer from the fridge, keeping one for himself and handing the other to Mr. Satan. "Who else? You know I never touch snacks."Mr. Satan chuckled, popped open the beer, and clinked it with Allen's. "Congrats, you finally got what you wanted.""Thanks," Allen Parker said with a faint smile. "By the way, about the Norman family... have you figured out what you're going to do?"Mr. Satan pressed his lips together tightly and shook his head. "My dad and grandma still want me to take over the Norman family business. I’ve refused so many times, but they just won’t give up."Allen Parker repli
Allen Parker closed his eyes briefly. "Alright, once you've made up your mind, no one can change it. Just tell me what you need me to do.""Two things," Mr. Satan replied. "First, I need you to keep an eye on my dad and grandma for me, especially my grandma. She raised me, and I can't stop worrying about her."Allen Parker nodded. "Sure, that's no problem. What's the second thing?""The second thing..." Mr. Satan's lips curled into a sharp smile. "Is that everything I've told you today can never be known by a third person, not even my dad or grandma."Allen Parker nodded again. "If they find out, they'll drag you back to take over the family business for sure. But what about Emily? Shouldn't she know?""No," Mr. Satan said firmly. "She's too soft-hearted."...By the time the two men came downstairs, more than an hour had passed.Emily was sitting on the couch, leaning back slightly, while Ken and Daniel, seated beside her, were laughing and chatting.Allen Parker walked over and aske
Satan looked at Emily with a hint of surprise, but more than that, admiration.If Emily hadn’t dropped out of school and had kept studying, she might have become a great designer like her mother. Even if she studied a different field, with her talent and hard work, she would’ve excelled in anything she chose.He was confident in that.“Emily, I’m giving you the night. Do you think you can fix this flaw?” Satan asked.Emily hesitated for a moment. “Me? I just had an idea, that’s all. I don’t really know what I’m doing, I just said it off the top of my head…”“Don’t be afraid. Just give it a try,” Satan encouraged her. “This is your mom’s design. I don’t want anyone else to change it. You’re the most suitable person to make adjustments.”Emily thought for a bit, then pressed her lips together and nodded. “You’re right. I’ll give it a shot.”“Don’t worry, this is just a copy, not the original. You can make changes based on your ideas, and we’ll discuss it tomorrow in the meeting,” Satan
Logan was stunned for a long moment after hearing this.Yes.Grace wasn’t hard to deal with. Aside from doing a few petty things to annoy him, she had no real power to bring him down from the top.But Emily could.She already knew everything that had happened back then from Emma. She had a boyfriend from the Norman family, and the support of Meggie and Alex. If she wanted to, she could ruin him at any time.If Emily were dead, everything would indeed be easily resolved.But...Emily was still his daughter.“Logan, you already have Herry as your son. He’ll take care of you in the future, and he’s the heir to the Morgan legacy. Emily is just a daughter; once she marries, she’ll belong to someone else. Why would she ever care about you as her father? All she feels towards you is hatred.”Logan took a deep breath, and his gaze gradually turned cold.Bobby continued, “Once Emily is gone, her adoptive father can easily be dealt with. This problem would be completely solved...”Logan clenche
Daniel quickly stepped aside for Emily, saying, "Mr. Morgan, this is our project manager, and also our boss's wife. She’s the one in charge of this project."Logan’s expression was hard to read.Emily, however, remained calm, as if meeting Logan for the first time. She politely extended her hand, "You must be Mr. Morgan, right? Hello."Logan looked at her outstretched hand, unsure if he should take it.Was Emily pretending not to know him?Also, the Great Wall Group had always been mysterious, but it was financially powerful. Even Mr. Taylor held this collaboration in high regard. Despite being unwell, he had called specifically to remind Logan of the importance of this meeting.There were only a handful of people in New York that Mr. Taylor would be this cautious about.But what did Daniel just say?Emily was the wife of the Great Wall Group's boss?Which meant the boss was Vincent?One Norman family was enough to make him wary, but now with the Great Wall Group added, sweat began to
