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
Daniel immediately recognized him. "This is Mr. Norman! Welcome.""And who is this?"Emily introduced him. "This is Daniel, the general manager of Vincent's company.""Oh, Daniel, nice to meet you."Daniel was excited. "Ah, hello… Would you like something to drink?""Red tea, please," Alex replied with a smile and a nod. "I'm getting older and don't like coffee as much. I prefer tea.""Alright, I'll have someone prepare it right away."As Alex's gaze swept the room, he paused when he saw Logan, his expression changing slightly. "Emily, what's he doing here?"Logan's heart raced, and Bobby felt the same tension. The two exchanged glances, both seeing the fear in each other's eyes.Emily's tone grew serious. "Mr. Norman, the reason I asked you to come today is that I need you to be a witness for me."Alex frowned. "Don’t worry, whatever trouble you're in, just tell me, and I’ll help you. Is he bothering you again?""No, he’s not bothering me."Logan and Bobby exchanged relieved glances,
“What is this…” Logan asked angrily, “Emily, what do you mean by this?”Emily smiled, holding a remote in her hand. “Mr. Morgan, don’t you recognize it? This is the design you submitted when you won the architecture award 27 years ago.”“Of course, I remember,” Logan replied in a low voice. “Did you bring me here just to show me my own design? Emily, stop this nonsense. We’re family. If you have something to say, we can discuss it privately. Don’t make a scene in front of others.”Emily’s smile widened. “Others? Are you talking about Alex?”Alex sat there like a king, and Logan knew better than to provoke him. He quickly smiled and said, “Of course not. Alex and I are practically family now.”“Good,” Emily said. “Your student Bobby isn’t related to you by blood, is he?”Her expression suddenly turned cold. “Ken, Bobby has been carrying Mr. Morgan’s bags for a while now. Take him out for a meal to show our appreciation.”“Sure thing,” Ken said, his hands in his pockets as he approached
Bobby was a lot shorter than Daniel and didn't have his brother's charisma. He looked a bit sleazy.“Bro, honestly, this has nothing to do with me. It's all Logan's mess from before. I just helped him cover it up, that's all.”Daniel felt a sinking feeling in his chest.From Bobby’s tone, it seemed like Logan really had done some dirty stuff.“You need to tell me exactly what’s going on with Logan’s design.”“What design?”“The one he won the award for. The one Emily showed today! If it wasn’t about that design, he wouldn’t have called Logan over.”Ken exhaled a puff of white smoke, squinting as he flicked the ash from his cigarette. “Daniel, can’t you see? That design wasn’t Logan’s. F.uck! I used to admire him so much because of that design, and it turns out it was all a lie.”Daniel frowned, staring at Bobby. “You tell me, is that true?”Bobby shrank back a little. “Bro, honestly, I don’t know all the details. By the time I was his student, he was already famous.”“Then just tell m
In the conference room, only Logan and Emily were left facing off.Alex, worried about Emily, stayed close to her, ready to protect her from any sudden moves Logan might make."Emily," Logan pleaded, making a last-ditch effort, "Tell me, what do you want me to do to make you forgive me?"Emily's expression was cold, devoid of any emotion. "Mr. Morgan, don't you know that killing someone means paying with your life? That's just the way it is."Logan argued, "Your mother was already hemorrhaging badly. Even if I hadn’t given up on treatment, she might not have survived! You can’t put all the blame on me, right?"Not blame him entirely?Emily sneered. "So, you're saying my mom was just doomed to die from childbirth complications?""That's not what I meant. What I'm saying is that your mother was also responsible. Look, lots of women give birth, and not many of them die, right? Emily, you weren’t born yet, so you wouldn’t know, but your mother wasn’t in great health to begin with. She was
Mr. Satan had just walked into the room. He looked at Alex and said, "Dad.""Yeah," Alex responded. "About Emily...""I'll take care of it," Mr. Satan replied firmly. "She's my woman, and whatever she wants to do, I'll make sure it happens."Alex nodded approvingly and added, "If there's anything I can help with, just let me know. You and Emily are both very stubborn, always trying to handle things on your own, but you're still young. Handling things too extremely can cause problems down the line."Mr. Satan's gaze remained fixed on Emily, not sure if she even heard what Alex was saying.Whatever, Alex thought. It's only natural for a son to care about his wife. He'd talk to them about these things later."I'll leave you two alone then," Alex said, getting ready to go. "Vincent, make sure you spend some time with Emily over the next few days. I'll keep an eye on the company for you."Mr. Satan nodded. "Thanks, Dad.""Alright then, I've got a handle on things. You two talk, I'll get go
“Emily wants to pursue justice for her mother’s death and reclaim the reputation that should have been her mother’s. Your brother wasn’t involved in what happened back then, so Emily won’t go after him.”Daniel let out a huge sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear. I knew Emily was reasonable…”Mr. Satan paused his steps and added another reminder, “If you really care about your brother, tell him to stay away from Logan Morgan.”Daniel quickly nodded. “I know, I know. I’ll talk to him.”……Logan Morgan looked like he had aged ten years by the time he left. His usually neat hair was tousled by the wind, and his whole demeanor was dark and brooding.Bobby followed him silently, too scared to speak. He knew just how petty Logan Morgan could be. If Bobby offended him, there would be consequences.After they had walked for a while, Logan suddenly turned around and stared at him, his gaze piercing through Bobby’s thoughts like a laser. “Did you tell your brother where Grace and Sophia are sta
