Emily had considered that Nathan might not show up, but she didn't expect him to be shameless enough to forcibly take her away on the street.Nathan's car was parked on the side of the street, and he easily subdued Emily, pressing her onto the back seat of the car.Emily was furious and lifted her foot to kick him. "Nathan, let go of me!"Dodging her attacks, Nathan firmly restrained her, looking down at her from above. "Emily, I won't agree to a divorce."Emily was furious. "Who do you think you are? You cheated, and I can file for divorce in court. It's just a matter of time, and I can wait. As long as you don't care about your personal and company image, I don't care!""Emily!""Hmm?""You're getting more and more aggressive now, hmm?"Gritting her teeth, Emily said, "You and Sophia bully me like that, and you don't allow me to fight back? Besides, I haven't really fought back against you. On the contrary, I decided to help you two."Nathan held her shoulders to keep her still, sne
Jackson's words were like a bomb, instantly blowing Emily's rationality away."You..." Emily looked at him in disbelief.Jackson smirked, his gaze roaming over her disheveled appearance. "What about me?""We are not the kind of relationship Nathan said at all, why would you admit it?" Emily exclaimed."It wasn't before," Jackson wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "but it is now."Nathan watched Jackson and Emily intimately, his eyes almost spewing fire!Emily was disheveled, and he wasn't in a good state either.His shirt was twisted and his face bore two blood marks, clearly scratched by a woman's nails.He touched his face and indeed found blood on his fingertips."Jackson, let me tell you, Emily and I have been married for four years, she's no longer a virgin. I heard that you have a serious obsession with cleanliness, don't you care that she's not a virgin?" Nathan's words were quite harsh.Emily gritted her teeth and glared at him, "I've told you, Jackson and I don't have the ki
"Beauty is a subjective judgment, I don't know how to compare," Emily replied.Jackson rolled his eyes. "I'll preface this by saying I'm not trying to flatter you, but in terms of looks and figure, I think very few women can compare to you."Emily didn't quite understand why the topic suddenly shifted. But she didn't want to delve into her private matters, especially with her boss.She could only awkwardly nod. "...Thank you for the compliment."Jackson smirked. "So, Nathan is the CEO. You should be entitled to a significant sum from the divorce, why are you out here looking for a job?""I didn't get any money," Emily took a deep breath.Jackson didn't press further on the matter.What could make a woman leave Nathan without taking any money?"If you're willing to trust me, I'll have my lawyer handle your divorce case for you."Emily declined. "No need. Nathan will definitely divorce, at the latest by the end of this month."Jackson raised an eyebrow. "Are you that sure? Emily, let me
Emily's heart tightened instantly.Jackson glanced back at Emily still in the back seat, his tone deep, "Yeah, she's in my car."Allen Parker on the other end of the phone seemed to say something again. Jackson responded with a grunt of acknowledgment before impatiently hanging up.Emily couldn't help but ask tentatively, "What did your brother say?"Jackson gave her a disdainful look. "What does it matter to you what my brother says? Emily, you're quite something, even my brother is attracted to you? Are you some kind of enchantress?"Emily pursed her lips. If only she were an enchantress, would Sophia have destroyed her marriage?If she were an enchantress, she could have just scratched Nathan's face."He said to drop you off at the intersection, and he'll come to pick you up," Jackson irritably ruffled his hair, adding with a warning, "Emily, if you already have a man, you better tell my brother early. Don't make him look like a fool like me."Emily touched her nose. Your brother i
Emily obediently let him pull her along, her face slightly flushed. "I look terrible, don't I?""No, you're not ugly at all." Mr. Satan pulled her to sit down, gently encircling her. "Emily, it's my fault. I didn't consider it properly. I shouldn't have let you face that man alone."Emily felt a bit teary-eyed, not sure why she always became so fragile in front of him.Just moments ago, she had been strong in Jackson's car, but once back at 2307, feeling his embrace, she couldn't help but want to cry."You're afraid, aren't you?" Mr. Satan gently stroked her long hair."Yeah," Emily nodded. "A little.""Don't be afraid, I'm here, okay?"Emily bit her lip and nestled into his embrace. "I don't know why Nathan suddenly went crazy today. When I called him, I could still hear him arguing with Sophia. And then today he tried to force himself on me... I just don't understand. Didn't he love Sophia? How could he change so quickly?"Mr. Satan's voice was as melancholic as ever. "Men like Nath
There was sadness in Mr. Satan's eyes. "Once you know the whole truth, you'll understand.""When exactly are you going to tell me all the truth?""When I've dealt with everything."Back to square one.All her questions would eventually loop back here.It was essentially a dead end.After Mr. Satan left, Emily went to the supermarket as usual to buy groceries for cooking.Her mind felt empty, aimlessly pushing the shopping cart.She felt like her rationality was still intact; she compared prices when buying things, selected items skillfully, but everything seemed to move at a slower pace, always taking a few extra seconds to react.Just like now.The cashier reminded her softly, "Ma'am, that'll be one hundred dollars."Emily stood there blankly for several seconds until the person behind her in line urged her, and she finally came to her senses. "Oh, okay."She had already taken out a bank card from her wallet, but after a moment's thought, she pushed it back in and paid with cash from
"I will," Emily smirked. "But right now, my priority is taking care of my father. Uncle, have you considered finding a wife to take care of you?"This was the first time Emily had brought up Bert's marital status, and he blushed awkwardly. "I don't need someone to take care of me. I can take care of myself. Getting married costs too much money, and I don't have the energy to think about it. Oh, by the way, did Nathan pay for your father's surgeries? How much was it in total? I need to earn money quickly to pay him back. I don't want to owe him.""I didn't use his money."Bert became agitated again. "Why not? He was your husband, he had an obligation to take care of your father."She could only say, "Not everyone has a conscience."Bert fumed. "I knew it, these rich people are all bloodsucking capitalists! Emotions mean nothing to them! Sophia must have been deceived by him. I have to go and talk to Sophia, make her leave Nathan!"Emily quickly grabbed him. "Don't go, maybe Sophia inte
Carol was furious. "Where are you running off to? Are you still entangled with Emily?""Impossible!" Sophia's voice came from upstairs. She had a grim expression on her face and was still in her pajamas as she followed them outside. "I won't let them get back together, absolutely not!""Oh my goodness, be careful with your belly!"Carol's greatest concern was for the unborn child. Sophia dashed outside, and Carol abandoned the remote control to chase after her."Emily!" Nathan had just stepped out and saw Emily standing not far from the villa on the roadside, looking into the distance as if waiting for someone.He went straight over and grabbed her. "I'm calling you, why aren't you saying anything?"Emily stumbled backward when he pulled her, almost losing her balance.Without looking at him, she shook off his hand. "I have nothing to say to you. If you keep pulling me like this, I will sue you.""Okay," Nathan let go. "I lost my temper that day, almost hurting you out of impulse. I p
