The news was too shocking, leaving Emily unable to come to her senses for a long time.It wasn't until the waiter filled the table with dishes that she still felt somewhat dazed."Emily?" Mr. Satan called gently."Huh?" Emily snapped out of it, realizing they were the only ones left in the private room. "Where are they?""They were gone," Mr. Satan said. "They didn't dare to confront me."Emily felt somewhat disoriented. She grabbed Mr. Satan's hand, incredulously asking, "Was that man really Morgan? Did you know he had married Sophia's mother?""Emily, calm down first and listen to me," Mr. Satan said, gently stroking her back. "I knew this news would be difficult for you to accept, so I haven't told you. But unfortunately, we ran into them today. You would have found the truth sooner or later, and I'd rather be here with you than have you face it alone."Emily shook her head lightly. "Twenty years ago, Sophia's mother left, and Morgan left my mother because they were already having

Compared to the warmth of the Hilton hotel, the Reed household was now eerily quiet, with a sense of impending storm.After the scolding from Satan at the hotel, nobody had much of an appetite. This meeting was about to conclude.Carol suggested, "Why don't you stay at your mother's house for a few days, Sophia? It's been so long since you've seen each other; you must miss each other."Sophia actually wanted to stay at Grace's house, but Grace refused, saying, "She's carrying your family's heir now. I think it's better for her to stay at your house. Dads should be with their unborn children and pregnant wives. It's better for everyone."Carol didn't insist further and could only nod, saying, "You're right."Sophia and Carol saw Logan Morgan off, while Nathan sat in the living room watching TV.When Carol returned, she patted his shoulder and said, "Nathan, come with me, I need to talk to you."They went into a guest room, leaving Sophia standing outside, feeling like an outsider.She

There were several car exhibitions coming up, and the next one was on this weekend. Emily couldn't afford to relax.While she was watching makeup tutorial videos, Olivia was playing games beside her."Emily, do you think Mr. Satan might have a split personality?" Olivia asked.Emily took out her earphones. "Hm?""Oh," Olivia stretched lazily and sighed, "You said he wasn't Allen Parker, right? I've been asking friends for information lately. Although there are many wealthy and powerful young men in New York City, there aren't many as formidable as Mr. Satan. I really can't think of anyone else who could be Mr. Satan."Emily continued watching the video, but lowered the volume slightly. Her attention couldn't fully concentrate on the video anymore. "Mr. Satan has told me many times that he'll tell me the truth, but not now.""I know, so I'm thinking, maybe there's some secret he can't let everyone know, like he actually has a split personality? I watched a detective movie last night. T

Mr. Satan not only provided her with care and support but, more importantly, taught her how to face life.He must be a very powerful man.He had been lonely since childhood, with scars on his face. If he wasn't strong, he would have succumbed to the twists and turns of fate."Hey, Emily, what are you thinking about?"Emily sighed lightly. "I'm thinking about my future life."Olivia hugged her shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll always be with you.""Can you help me with lunch first?""Cooking?" Olivia's eyes widened in surprise, and she opened the food delivery app. "I'll just order food. What do you want?"Emily chuckled but didn't reply.Ring ring—The phone rang."Who is it?"Emily glanced at it. "It's Jackson.""Wow, are you going to answer?"This was the boss's call. How could she not answer?"Hello?" Emily answered."Come downstairs." Jackson's tone was terse.Emily furrowed her brow. "Boss, do you need something?""I told you to come downstairs."Emily took a deep breath, feeling resi

A designer named Morgan?Emily's heart sank. Apart from Logan Morgan, who else could it be? And Logan Morgan's daughter, who was about to get married, is Sophia.Emily felt like she must have owed Sophia a lot in her past life. That's why Sophia could keep taking precious things away from her in this life—her husband and family.It's ridiculous. Her father had also become Sophia's father, even helping her marry into the Reed family."Hey, I'm talking to you. Are you listening?"Emily nodded. "I'm listening."Jackson pushed his sunglasses up and continued driving with one hand. "To be honest, I don't like dealing with these people either. But my brother insists that I must leave a good impression on this designer and bring him into our company. This would cause our family's real estate stocks to rise."Emily asked in confusion, "Isn't your brother in the entertainment industry? Is he also investing in real estate now?""My brother mentioned that he has a capable friend who's a real est
Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 94 Princess Dream
Emily waved her hand to indicate that she was fine. "It's okay, she's very cute," she said.Hearing someone compliment her daughter's cuteness, the little girl's mother was delighted. She smiled warmly at Emily and said, "She's been reading fairy tales since she was little. We all spoil her, she's like a little princess. Her dad even decorated the house all pink for her."Emily chuckled, "You have a happy family.""You also have a great family," the little girl's mother said, glancing at Jackson. "Is he your boyfriend? He's handsome! And what straight guy would ever paint his car pink? He must have done it for you."Emily immediately knew she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "He's not my boyfriend, he's my boss. He often likes to paint his car different colors...""Not like this," the little girl's mother insisted. "I know better. Men might like bright blue, bright yellow, or even bright purple, but never pink."Emily raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. She had seen Jack

Jackson wasn't particularly good at dealing with women and children, so he instructed Emily, "I'm going to the store to get some water. Stay here and keep them company."Emily knew he felt awkward around women, so she just nodded. "Go ahead. I'll call you when Mr. Morgan arrives."Jackson raised an eyebrow. "Do you know what he looks like?"Emily tilted her head and smiled. "I'll recognize him. A middle-aged man, accompanied by a young daughter and a child. I know his son."Jackson thought about it and found it reasonable."Alright, I'm off."He didn't look back and quickly walked away.The little girl's mother tapped Emily's shoulder and whispered, "He's so cool...""Him?" Emily chuckled. She used to think Jackson was very cold and aloof, but after getting to know him better, she realized he used coldness as a shield because he wasn't good at socializing."Yeah, he's tall and handsome. Oh my God, he looks like the male lead in a romance drama!"Emily pursed her lips and smiled. "Do y

"Nathan, you're so good to me."Nathan ignored her and headed straight towards the balloon vendor. But after taking a couple of steps, he realized his wallet was still in the car and turned back to retrieve it.Just as he turned around, he saw Emily standing not far away.Clearly, Sophia hadn't anticipated Nathan suddenly turning back.She had sent Nathan to buy the balloon to prevent him from seeing Emily, but his sudden turn had foiled her plan.Seeing Nathan staring at Emily with infatuation, Sophia was burning with anger. Suddenly, she tightly furrowed her brows and squatted down. "Ouch...""What's wrong?" Grace asked worriedly. "What happened, Sophia?"Sophia gave Grace a signal, and Grace also noticed Emily, as well as Nathan staring blankly at her. She frowned slightly."Mom, I twisted my foot."Grace cooperated with her and called out loudly, "Nathan! Come quickly, your wife is injured!"Nathan frowned, but he didn't move from his spot, still staring intently at Emily and her

"Three years ago, I nearly died." Emily snatched her passport back from Sophia’s hand. "This British couple is my family. They’re good people. They saved me and took me to England."She held the passport firmly. "And yet, you still wouldn’t let me go. You went to every length to forge my death certificate.""Do you all want to know why they wouldn’t leave a ‘dead’ woman alone?" Emily let out a bitter laugh. "Because this was their only chance to inherit the wealth I left behind.""I didn’t die; I’m alive and back to reclaim what’s rightfully mine. This time, no one will hurt me.

Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed 471 Sophia’s True Face
“I know,” Emily said firmly.When Vincent slid the ring onto her finger, she felt a flash of disbelief. She’d expected Sophia to pull something, but Vincent’s unwavering stance took her by surprise. It’s over—everything’s finally over.Emily’s eyes glistened with tears.The priest’s voice resonated, “The groom may now kiss the bride…”Emily lowered her head, tears shimmering on her lashes. Vincent leaned in, kissing away the tear before it fell.Applause thundered through the church, and the priest laughed. “Go on, kiss her; she’s yours now.”Vincent didn’t hesitate, pulling Emily into a kiss. “You’re my wife, Emily. Finally.”Emily smiled through her tears. “Yes, I’m finally your wife.”Vincent turned with Emily still in his embrace, facing the crowd. “Emily and I are together now, and nothing will ever come between us again.”The guests watched, Meggie wiping tears of joy from her eyes.But Sophia wasn’t about to let things end on such a perfect note. Her face twisted with such fury

With Meggie as the wedding’s head organizer, invitations bore Emily's name, revealing to everyone that Miranda—the talented designer making waves at the Pritzker Architecture Prize—was indeed Emily.The announcement stunned all of New York and the entire architecture community. So Miranda is really Emily? People couldn’t believe the city’s most eligible bachelor, Vincent, had been swept off his feet so quickly.The Norman family, known for their longstanding legacy, hosted an extravagant guest list. Alex greeted everyone warmly, while Mandy barely cracked a smile. She was still fuming—she’d barely started her schemes with Grace to find Vincent a “suitable” bride, only to be blindsided by this wedding! She muttered, “Wasn’t he supposed to be so deeply in love with Emily? Now he’s marrying someone else so fast?”Meggie overheard and firmly replied, “The bride is Emily.”“Oh, come on, Mom. She’s not—”

Emily suddenly felt super self-conscious. “Fine, I’ll drink it. But after I’m done, go back to your office!”With that, she tilted her head back and gulped down the entire glass of lemon water in one go. She quickly shoved the empty glass back into Vincent's hands, saying, "There, all done!"Vincent's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Great. Come to my office at lunchtime," he said with a hint of mischief.Emily frantically tried to signal him with her eyes, mouthing, “People are watching!”Vincent seemed completely unfazed and continued, “It’s freezing outside, so don’t go out. I already asked Dylan to pick up lunch for us; he’ll bring it up, and we’ll eat together.”“...Okay.”He’s gotta be done now, right? Emily thought to herself, hoping he’d leave before the entire office saw this unfold live.“Oh, one more thing,” Vincent added nonchalantly, “Don’t rush off after work. We’ll swing by and pick up your uncle first, then head to my place for dinner with my dad and Meggie.”Emily blink

As soon as Allen left the hospital room, Jackson turned pale and, with a sudden heave, threw up everything he’d just eaten, leaving a mess on the floor.The young nurse, no older than twenty, panicked and rushed toward the door to call a doctor, but Jackson stopped her. “Stay,” he commanded.The nurse looked at him with wide eyes, almost on the verge of tears as she saw his ashen face. “Sir, if you’re unwell, you really should let the doctor check—”“I’m not unwell,” Jackson replied, his voice cold, with a glint of harshness in his eyes. The nurse flinched slightly at his intense gaze.“Are you scared of me?” he asked, a smirk playing on his lips.“N-no, not at all,” the nurse stammered, shaking her head. “It’s just…”“Don’t worry about it,” he said, a faint sneer forming. “Fear is natural. I’ve never been the nicest person, and I don’t pretend to be.”“Oh no, you’re a good person, sir! You… well, you pay me well,” she replied hesitantly.“Money alone doesn’t make someone good,” Jacks

The projects across the company were running smoothly. Ken managed the technical aspects, and Daniel handled administration and overall decision-making. Even during Satan's three-year absence, The Great Wall Group retained its position as New York’s leading business powerhouse.As Emily browsed the recent news on her phone in the car, it was clear the city was engulfed in Christmas cheer, bright and bustling.Satan glanced over. “Any plans for Christmas?”She paused. “Not really. I’ll probably just stay in and watch TV with Bert.”He nodded without pressing further. Emily wondered what had prompted him to ask; he’d usually spend Christmas with his family.A slight smile crept across her face, but her expression held a tinge of sadness. The people in her life seemed to be growing fewer by the year. Christmas used to be difficult but joyful, a shared warmth despite the hardships. This year, it felt especially lonely. Sophia had long severed ties with the family, and William was gone. It

Jackson cut her off. “Then let me take you to meet my family! You’re amazing—they just don’t know you yet. Once they do, they’ll definitely support us being together. That way, we won’t have to choose, and we can stay together, right?”“What if they still don’t agree?”“I’ll talk to them. I’m committed to you for life. They’ll have to come around, whether they agree or not!”Emily couldn’t help but laugh. “But I don’t agree.”Jackson felt a pang of panic. He tried to sit up to reach her hand, but his body was still confined by the plaster, immobilizing him completely, and he was forced to lie back down. “Emily, are you worried because my parents don’t like you? If I love you, their initial reservations don’t matter; they’ll come to accept it.”“That’s part of it,” Emily admitted, “but there’s a more important reason…”A sinking feeling came over Jackson. “…What is it?”……Weather forecasts are rarely reliable, but this time, it turned out to be spot on.By evening, the sky was filled

Emily didn’t say anything, but her mind was a mess.“You don’t need to say so many sentimental things,” she replied softly. “For Meggie’s sake, I’ll go through with the wedding. Don’t worry.”“But I don’t want a fake wedding,” Satan replied. “I want it to be real.”The elevator stopped on the ground floor.Emily stepped out first, and unlike the warmth of the room upstairs, cold snowflakes were now drifting down outside, and the air felt sharp against her skin, like knives slicing across her face.Standing at the Hilton’s entrance, she asked, “Did you drive here?”“I took a cab.”“Did you sneak out again?”Satan shrugged with a wry smile. “Dylan’s been keeping too close an eye on me.”With no other option, Emily walked to the curb and flagged down a taxi for him, signaling for him to hurry up.“To St. Mary’s Hospital, please,” she instructed, then turned back to him. “When you get there, have Dylan call me to let me know you arrived safely, okay?”He nodded. “And what about you?
