Seeing that Logan Morgan had begun to doubt Emily's identity, Grace's purpose had been achieved.

After all, she still needed to maintain a gentle image, so she didn't push the matter further.

There was plenty of time ahead; she wasn't afraid of not being able to deal with Emily.

Grace changed the subject, "Look, there's a children's playground up ahead."

Logan Morgan chuckled, "Herry loves going to children's playgrounds. Herry, shall I take you to the playground?"

Herry held a balloon he snatched from another kid, "No, I'm grown up now. I want to play on the pirate ship! And the go-karts!"

Grace said, "But Mom and Dad don't dare to play those thrilling games. Your sister is pregnant."

"Then let him accompany me!" Herry pointed at Nathan, "Hey, you want to marry my sister, don't you? You need to please me, you know?"

Nathan raised an eyebrow. But he didn't want to accompany him.

This kid didn't seem like a good kid, and Nathan didn't want to trouble himself, plus...

He glanced in Emil

    Sophia deliberately walked slowly. With the excuse of having sprained her foot just now, it was natural for her to pretend to be in pain. Nathan had no choice but to accompany her.Meanwhile, Emily was eager to take this opportunity to slip away. Nathan was now too dangerous for her.Seeing that everyone around had left, Herry could only "reluctantly" follow Emily. He grumbled, "Hey, freak! I'm talking to you! Can you drive a go-kart?"Emily chuckled, "Yes."Herry glared at her and ran straight to the go-kart area, saying as he ran, "Today, I'm going to knock you out of the track!"Emily said nothing and quickly followed him out of this dangerous place.Fortunately, the go-kart area was far from the resting area.Herry rushed in directly and sat on the first kart, with several others quickly passing by. The staff hurried over, "Hi, kid, where are your parents? Do you know it's dangerous to just run in like that?"Herry ignored them, "What's so dangerous about it? I want to play this."

    "I don't care; I don't rely on selling cars for my salary. But what about you? Do you still want to play?"Herry clenched his teeth tightly, "...I'm sorry.""Louder.""I'm sorry!!! I apologized, can we call it even?""I didn't hear sincerity," Emily said, "When you do something wrong, you should apologize. You show no sign of remorse. Why should I accept it?"Herry pointed at her, "You're going too far."Emily nodded, turned around, and said, "Alright, then I'll leave, do as you wish.""Wait!" Herry caught up and grabbed her, "Why are women so troublesome? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you a freak. I'll call you a beautiful lady from now on, okay? Is that sincere enough?"Emily stopped in her tracks, "Hmm, that's not bad this time.""Then hurry up and sign! Don't delay."Emily said, "And what about that girl? What did you say to her just now?"The female staff member, noticing Emily's attention had turned to her, waved her hands repeatedly, "It's okay, I'm fine, no need to apolog

    After hanging up the phone, Emily still hadn't quite recovered her senses.Mr. Satan's final words...Even though he hadn't said anything particularly romantic, it was enough to keep her blushing for a while."Hey, you... Beauty, what are you thinking about? Why are you smiling for so long?"Herry parked the go-kart by the side, and the staff were helping him undo his safety harness and helmet.Emily snapped back, "Are you done playing?""Once is enough. There are so many rides here, playing the same one over and over gets boring!" Herry said as his harness was being released. He jumped straight off the go-kart, startling the female staff member into a gasp.Emily was used to his style by now. Herry had mellowed out considerably. He listened to Emily now; after all, he needed her signature for whatever ride he wanted to play next."Beauty, how about we try the swinging hammer? It's exhilarating!"Emily's face showed refusal. "You go ahead; I'll wait here.""What fun is it if I go alon

    Herry turned around cautiously and instantly screamed, "Ghost!!!"They saw a "female ghost" standing behind them in a white outfit with long hair covering her face, which couldn't be seen clearly.Slowly, she lifted her head, her neck twisting, revealing a pale face with large eyes and blood trickling down.She reached out her hands and started approaching Emily and Herry."Get away! Get away! Don't come to catch me! Catch her!"Herry was so scared that he lost his senses and pushed Emily towards the ghost before fleeing himself.Still reeling from immense terror, Emily was forcefully propelled forward by a strong push and was about to fall onto the "female ghost.""Hey, miss, are you okay?"The "female ghost" caught her. Worried that Emily was truly frightened, she quickly helped her sit down and explained softly, "Don't be afraid. There's a room next to this passage, and I changed into this outfit inside the room and stood behind you..."Several minutes passed before Emily regained

    "Emily?"The sudden voice behind her sent shivers down Emily's spine.It was a man.Nathan emerged from the shadows. Thankfully, the wall lights illuminated his silhouette and Emily wasn't scared.However, despite this, she couldn't read his expression clearly, and the green tint of the wall lights made Nathan appear even more eerie and sinister.Emily instinctively grasped the wall beside her, pressing her back against it for support."What are you doing here?" she asked.As she spoke, Emily realized something.The "female ghost" had mentioned a young couple entering before her, and now she encountered Nathan, which meant Sophia must be here too.Nathan took a step forward. "Don't be afraid. If you're scared, you can hold onto me."With that, he extended his hand, offering a silent invitation.Emily remained on high alert, not letting her guard down for a moment. Now, backed into a corner, facing what seemed like an entire hellish setting, her field of view widened, allowing her to b

    "Sophia! Can you please be more rational? Look at yourself now! You're acting like a shrew!""It's all because of this wretched woman, Emily!" Sophia sneered coldly, her teeth clenched, as if she wanted to sink her teeth into Emily's flesh. "If it weren't for her, we would be happily married!"Emily stood by silently, listening to their conversation.But Sophia clearly wasn't going to let her off easily. She continued her tirade, "She's a woman without a university degree. She's only fit for jobs like cleaning or being a maid. What right does she have to be Mrs. Reed?"Emily grew angry, "Sophia, I didn't use any dirty tricks to become Mrs. Reed. You know why I got married. It was Nathan's grandfather's dying wish. I never had any intention of gaining anything from this marriage. I merely agreed to fulfill an old man's last request.""You're talking nonsense! Don't paint yourself as some noble figure! Nathan's grandfather is dead, and No one can prove your story! You're quite cunning!

    Nathan was shocked, his expression full of doubt. "Sophia, is... is what Emily said true?"Sophia gritted her teeth angrily. "No! Emily, what evidence do you have that I was someone's mistress?""I have plenty of evidence," Emily crossed her arms, looking at her coldly. "When you first came to this city, you used my credit card for a period of time. I know all your spending records. You visited an obstetrician-gynecologist once, and the examination was for pregnancy!"Sophia's face turned pale instantly.She was flustered, wanting to explain, but this situation caught her off guard. She had overlooked this. When she first came to this city, she didn't have money and indeed used Emily's credit card. She naturally knew her bills...Seeing Sophia's reaction, Nathan's heart tightened. "Sophia, tell me the truth."Sophia's eyes wandered, biting her lip. "I... I was coerced, yes, I was forced! Nathan, please believe me! It was that man who forced me! Later, I had the pregnancy terminated, a

    Sophia shouted, "You've done something dirty yourself, admit it! Why should I regret anything?"Emily nodded, glancing at Nathan.Her gaze made Nathan uneasy. "Is this about me?""Yes," Emily nodded. "Your grandfather arranged for us to marry to protect you and the Reed family.""Hah!" Sophia sneered. "Don't make yourself out to be so noble. You're just a poor girl. What can you do to protect the Reed family?"Emily remained unfazed, just looking at her quietly."The Reed family really does need me," Emily said. "Even though I'm a poor girl, I can keep a secret.""What secret?"Nathan asked. After four years of marriage with Emily, he had no idea there was still a secret between them.However, Emily's current expression gave him a bad feeling."Nathan has oligozoospermia.""What?!""What..."Nathan and Sophia both stood frozen in place. One surprised, the other bewildered, their expressions grim.Emily sighed and continued, "If you insist on forcing me to reveal the truth, then I will

    "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. Sophia, you and your mother won’t steal my inheritance, and you won’t ruin my wedding.

    “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.

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?
