Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 353 The Final Farewell
Bobby’s honesty earned him some leniency from Logan Morgan. This reason was enough to convince him.“We need to make good use of this Penelope…” Logan Morgan paused, “She could be very useful.”Bobby raised an eyebrow, excitement evident in his voice: “I’ve thought it through. We can handle it this way. Not only will Emily be out of the picture, but Norman’s family won’t blame us either…”The plan started to take shape in their discussion, becoming clearer by the minute.……Emily was in a bad mood today, feeling some discomfort in her stomach and generally just worn out.Satan held her in his arms and gently checked her forehead with his lips. “...You’re okay, not too hot.”Emily shifted in his arms, “I’m fine, just feeling a bit tired today.”Satan held her tighter, “Why do you need to handle this yourself? Leave it to me. Everything Logan Morgan has can be gone in an instant.”Emily sighed, “But this is Mom’s legacy. I want to help her reclaim it myself. Plus... he was someone Mom l

Penelope’s hands were slightly rough. Especially her palms, which appeared dry with visible lines. Resting in her palm was a black bow hairpin—an old, common style that looked a bit worn out and loose, showing clear signs of use.Satan furrowed his brows but didn’t move.Penelope raised an eyebrow slightly. “Isn’t this Emily’s? Don’t you want it anymore?”Satan remained wary. “How can I be sure whether you swapped it or not? You suddenly show up today and meet me in the Hilton. What exactly are you after?”Penelope smiled, retracting the hairpin and holding it in her hand. “You still don’t trust me, Simon. Is it that you trust no one but Emily in this world?”“I trust many people, but you’re not one of them,” Satan said coldly and decisively. “Penelope, I’ve been clear about my position. You know the choice you need to make. I don’t need to spell it out for you.”Penelope’s smile froze. She looked up at the man in front of her. He was somewhat familiar but also somewhat unfamiliar. St

“What position do you have to question me?”Satan was in no mood to deal with Jackson, who was now acting like a furious lion.Jackson loved Emily, and that was clear. He had pursued her before, but she had firmly rejected him, leading him to let go. During those drunken nights at the bar, Jackson had voiced his true feelings—he still loved Emily, but he didn’t want to cause her any more trouble or be pushed away.Men's compromises with rivals aren’t always unbreakable. Even the smallest disturbance can create a storm.And Penelope’s situation was complicated to explain quickly. Moreover, deep down, Satan was unwilling to clarify everything to his rival.But Satan's silence only fueled Jackson's anger. “What position? Ha! I’m Emily’s superior, and I love her! Vincent, I once thought you loved Emily deeply for years, which is why I stepped aside. I believed I wasn’t as devoted as you, and Emily chose you. But what’s with what that woman just said? Do you really love Emily, or do you ju

Satan’s phone had no signal. He was unable to contact the outside world.Inside the confined elevator, the only source of light was the small flame from Jackson's lighter.“Damn it, it's such a big hotel, how could this happen? It’s been several minutes, why isn’t the power back on?” Jackson was growing increasingly impatient and agitated.Satan remained silent, but his breathing had grown heavier. The sudden appearance of Penelope and the coincidental power outage seemed too eerie to be mere chance.“Hey, Vincent, say something. What do we do now, just wait here?”Satan responded coldly, “And what solution do you propose? Feel free to share.”“Damn, aren’t you supposed to be impressive, mysterious, and capable of making Emily feel secure? Why isn’t that working now?”Satan glanced at him. “I’m only human, not a god.”“Damn,” Jackson was startled. “Can you take off that mask? It’s scaring me…”The white mask appeared even more ominous in the darkness. Especially when Satan suddenly tu
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 357 Induction Surgery
Emily woke to the blaring alarm and the jostling of the stretcher beneath her. The air was icy cold, making her shiver uncontrollably.“Mmm…”“She's awake, Doctor, she’s awake!”Doctor?Where am I…?Emily slowly opened her eyes and took in her surroundings. She was lying on a stretcher, and from the environment, she was in an ambulance.Someone must have called an ambulance for me?A female doctor approached, shining a flashlight into her eyes and instructing, “Notify the hospital to prepare the operating room. As soon as we arrive, we need to begin the surgery immediately.”Surgery?Emily jolted, “What surgery?”A nurse patted her hand gently, whispering, “It’s an induction surgery. Your baby is already seven months along, and it’s too late to carry to term. We need to induce labor to prevent further danger to your life.”Emily’s mind buzzed.Induction…She remembered now—just before, in the hotel corridor, someone had attacked her in the dark. They had struck her abdomen several tim

Jackson’s mind reeled. His hand trembled uncontrollably as he held the document. “The baby… is it really beyond saving? Isn’t it seven months along? Can’t we do a cesarean section?”The nurse sighed, her voice tinged with regret. “If Emily had arrived at the hospital sooner, there might have been a chance. But by the time she got here, it was too late. We can’t detect a fetal heartbeat, which means the baby’s heart has already stopped…”Jackson felt as if the nurse’s words were drifting from a distant place, an unreal feeling overwhelming him. The last time he saw Emily, she was a tender, hopeful mother-to-be, eagerly anticipating the baby’s arrival. Now, not long after, the baby was lost, and Emily was in the operating room. What had happened…?“Sir? Sir?” The nurse nudged him. “Please sign the document quickly. Time is of the essence. The patient needs immediate surgery. There can be no further delays.”Jackson came back to reality, wiped his face in a daze, and scribbled his name i

Emily began to regain consciousness, her eyes fluttering open slightly.“Doctor, she’s awake. Her pupils are responsive,” a nurse reported urgently.Emily saw four figures surrounding her. Overhead, a glaring light illuminated her abdomen. But her abdomen felt completely numb!“My baby…” Emily murmured, her voice a weak whisper.The doctor frowned. “Get the anesthesiologist.”The nurse quickly complied. “Yes, Doctor.”Emily’s heart sank. “Doctor, what about my baby…”The doctor, drenched in sweat, focused intently on the surgery. “Miss, I need to concentrate completely on this procedure. The anesthesiologist will take care of you shortly, and my assistant will explain everything to you once the surgery is done.”“But my baby…”The anesthesiologist entered, clad in sterile garb, and placed an oxygen mask over Emily’s face. Within seconds, she was completely unconscious. Yet, her mind lingered for a few moments, faintly hearing the voices around her.“… abandon treatment? Did her family
