“I wouldn't dare!” Mandy's gaze flickered over Emily's belly. “I just heard some very interesting news today and thought I’d come ask if you know about it.”“I don’t want to know,” Meggie said dismissively, continuing to eat. “If you want to eat, then shut up and sit down. If not, go back to your place. Jesus doesn't like noise.”Meggie’s words were cold and showed no regard for Mandy, making her very embarrassed.To ease the tension, Bella asked, “Ma’am, are you staying for dinner?”“No, I’m not!” Mandy’s voice became sharp with anger. “Mom, I just came to tell you that you're wrong. This Emily is a scheming little s.lut!”“Are you done? Get out of here!” Meggie was furious, slamming her bowl down so hard it shattered near Mandy’s feet, making her jump back.Meggie, still angry, grabbed a fork and threw it at her. “You’ve been hanging out with that Grace for too long! You didn’t learn anything good but picked up all her vile, sneaky ways. But unlike her, you don’t have the brains. Yo

The next morning, Emily received a call from Nathan.Nathan's voice was rough and slightly slurred, likely the aftereffects of a hangover."Emily, let's get divorced."She had heard these words from him six months ago. Back then, Nathan had looked down on her, and it was the beginning of the worst time in her life. She was thrown out of her home by her husband and mother-in-law, left to wander the streets with nowhere to go.Who could have guessed that hearing these words again six months later would bring her a sense of relief?Emily agreed, "Okay, I'll meet you at the city hall."Nathan didn't say another word and hung up.Because Mr. Satan had already told her about this last night, Emily was up early. After hanging up the phone, she quickly went downstairs.Grace was in the living room. She glanced at Emily, "Heading out so early? Going to meet Vincent?"There was a hint of probing in her tone.Emily gave her a broad smile. "Yes. Do you want to date him too?"Grace's face instantl

Satan was clearly upset.Though he drove smoothly, Emily knew he was suppressing something.Maybe his face under the mask really troubled him.But in moments like these, words of comfort felt empty.Emily opened her mouth, but in the end, said nothing. They drove in silence until Satan took her back to the Norman family.Meggie was delighted to see them. "Bella, ask the chefs to prepare some good food."Bella smiled, "I saw Vincent's car outside earlier, so I already informed them. The food should be ready soon.""Great. Emily probably didn't eat well at the Morgan family, so we need to make sure she gets good nutrition... Vincent, why are you so quiet?"Satan had been silent the whole way. "Grandma, you've done everything for me. What's left for me to do?"Meggie laughed heartily, "Are you jealous? I'm just looking out for Emily, hoping you two will be happy. By the way, I'm meeting a famous Gypsy in a few days. She is good at predicting marriages. Emily, will you come with me?"Emil

Meggie was trembling with anger, "Mandy, you...""Mom, I am Alex's wife, the lady of the Norman family. You just said it yourself, I am Vincent's mother, so I cannot ignore his marriage. This Emily is a bad person. She's already married and yet she's gotten involved with Vincent. She's eyeing the wealth of our Norman family. Such scheming women cannot marry into our family! Even if you hate me now, for the future of the Norman family, I must stop this!" Mandy's impassioned speech left Meggie speechless, only able to gasp for air.Emily hurried over to pat Meggie's back to calm her down. Bella fetched a pill from the cabinet. "Take this pill."Meggie swallowed it, and after a few minutes, she felt a bit better.Alex was getting anxious, "Mom, are you alright?"Meggie pushed him away, "You take care of your loose-tongued wife, and I'll be just fine!"Alex stumbled back. Being filial, he continued, "Mom, what Mandy said is not wrong. Emily is not a good person...""Don't be so foolish!"

Emily spoke gently and respectfully, which Alex found pleasing."Emily, you're so polite. Looks like Mrs. Morgan taught her daughter well.""I'm not related to Mrs. Morgan by blood. I was raised by my foster father and uncle. Mrs. Morgan is my foster father's ex-wife who later remarried Mr. Morgan."Alex paused, "Oh, I see now...""Yeah, my foster father's not in good health. He's been in hospital since his surgery. I had nowhere else to go. Mr. Morgan works at Taylor Group, his daughter and I are friends, so he let me stay his house."Emily explained her past.She only stated facts, leaving Alex to draw his own conclusions."Grace abandoned her penniless husband and seduced Mr. Morgan. Now she's trying to harm her husband's daughter."Alex frowned deeply, "Mrs. Morgan's quite cunning and lacks moral character. Mr. Morgan seems like a fake gentleman too! They're a despicable couple!"Emily kept her thoughts to herself.Logan and Grace's true faces should be exposed."Since that's the
