451 The Missing Three Years

Emily gave a sad smile. "I can’t sleep."Satan sighed. "... Neither can I."In the quiet of the night, two sleepless people found a perfect moment to talk.Satan casually asked, "Emily, can you tell me what your three years in the UK were like?"Emily licked her lips and spoke simply, "There’s not much to tell. I studied and worked. My life was pretty dull. It wasn’t much different from how it was before, so I got used to it quickly. It didn’t even feel difficult—if anything, I found it fulfilling. Every moment of my day was packed, and that made me feel like life had purpose."Satan nodded thoughtfully. "You’ve always been a hardworking person.""It’s not that I’m particularly hardworking," she corrected. "I think I’m just used to being busy. Before, I worked hard for Sophia’s tuition, but now I’m working for myself, and that makes me feel happy. I felt lucky to be able to work for my own future.""Were you studying at Oxford?""Cambridge," Emily replied. "I thought about going to Ox

452 Then I Won't Go Back Abroad

Satan also bowed respectfully.Emily spoke up, “You’re still recovering.”“I should have visited him sooner,” Satan replied, his voice soft with regret. “I didn’t take good care of your father when he passed. I’m sorry.”William’s grave was meticulously clean, likely thanks to Bert visiting earlier.Family—mentioning them always softened Emily’s heart, no matter the situation.“Emily, let’s go. It’s getting cold,” Satan gently urged.Following his lead, Emily stood and placed the chrysanthemums on William’s grave. “William, if you need anything in heaven, don’t hesitate to come to me in my dreams. I won’t mind.”The photo of the young William on the headstone showed him smiling brightly.They spent the whole day at William’s grave, only deciding to head back to the hospital as dusk settled in.While driving, Satan coughed lightly, trying to stifle the sound. Emily noticed immediately.“You okay? Your throat sounds hoarse,” she asked with concern.“I’m fine,” Satan replied calmly.“But

453 I'm Getting Married Soon

Emily smiled and nodded, "I'll remember that."Adam was currently dating someone. He will probably be busy around Christmas.After the nurse finished dressing Bert’s wound, she reminded him, “Make sure to keep the wound dry for the next few days, especially when you shower.”Emily quickly thanked the nurse earnestly.After picking up some medication, Emily turned to Bert and said, “You should stay at my place tonight.”“You’re staying in a hotel, aren’t you? Getting an extra room will cost a lot. I’d rather go to a friend’s house,” Bert protested.“The hotel is covered by the company. We don’t have to pay for it ourselves.”Bert looked skeptical. “Really?”“Of course, it’s true. You know my boss is really nice.”“Well... alright, but won’t it be inconvenient for you, being a girl and all?”“I… I’m not staying there at night anyway,” Emily replied.Bert’s expression turned serious. “Where are you staying then?”“I’m sleeping at the office. It’s almost Christmas, and I have a lot of wor

454 No One Can Truly Understand

Vincent drove Bert back to the hotel. Most of his personal belongings had been destroyed in the fire, and he needed to buy replacements.Emily told Bert to rest while she made a quick trip downstairs to the supermarket.Bert stopped her, thoughtfully asking, “That Vincent guy… haven’t we seen him somewhere before?”Emily kept her expression neutral, answering calmly, “In Rome.”“No, I mean before that. In Rome, I didn’t really pay much attention to him, but earlier, I had a good look. He seems really familiar. I swear I’ve seen him before. Don’t you remember?”Emily licked her lips and took a deep breath. “No.”Bert was still a bit puzzled, but he couldn’t quite place it. After settling him in, Emily grabbed her keys and headed out.The elevator dinged as it reached the first floor. As the doors opened, she stepped forward, only to see a familiar figure. She blinked, surprised. “You… didn’t leave?”“I live here too. Did you forget?” Satan said, noticing her holding her room card and k

455 I'm Still Here Waiting for You

After switching to flat shoes, Emily felt much lighter on her feet.However...Both of them were still dressed in formal business attire—she in a blouse and A-line skirt, and Satan in a full suit. No matter how you looked at it, the sneakers on their feet didn't quite match their outfits.Satan didn’t seem to mind at all. He looked at her and asked, “What do you need to buy, Emily?”His voice was so hoarse that a nearby child couldn’t stop staring at him.Emily stepped in front of him, blocking the child's view. “Wait here for me. I’ll be back soon.”“Where are you going?”But before Satan could stop her, she had already dashed off.In less than five minutes, she returned with a cup of hot soy milk, handing it to him. “Drink this—it’ll help soothe your throat.”Satan glanced at the logo on the cup. “Was the store far?”“No, it’s just outside the supermarket. I saw it when we arrived.”Satan nodded, taking a large gulp, and immediately felt the warmth spread through his throat, soothin

456 Playing the Victim

After settling Bert down, Emily went straight to the police station the next morning.“Fire?” the officer asked.Emily nodded. “Yes, my house caught fire for no apparent reason, and I suspect someone set it deliberately.”The young officer was very responsible. Hearing that it might be arson, he took it seriously and carefully asked her many questions related to the incident.Emily answered them all, and after completing the report, four police officers accompanied her back to Bert’s house.The narrow street quickly became tense as people noticed the arrival of police cars. This was a poor neighborhood, but it also harbored some shady characters. The moment the police arrived, people ran out to see what was happening, following them all the way to Bert’s home.“Isn’t that Bert’s house? Why are the police here? Did they come to arrest someone?”“Yeah, Bert’s a good guy, isn’t he? What could he have done wrong?”“Maybe it’s because William died, and Bert couldn’t take it anymore. Did he

457 Confession

The moment Emily spoke, Sophia froze in her seat. Grace glanced at her, confused, as if trying to figure out who this woman was.Emily smiled faintly. Regardless of who they thought she was, this time, neither Grace nor Sophia would walk away easily.The officer nodded at Emily. “You may proceed.”“Thank you,” Emily replied.She stepped further into the room, standing tall while Grace and Sophia sat, forced to look up at her. In stark contrast to their shabby appearance, Emily was well-dressed, poised, and composed, her elegance immediately intimidating Grace into silence. Grace, with a guilty smile, tried to play nice. “Miss, are you the one who reported us?”“That’s right,” Emily said calmly.Grace squinted, studying Emily’s face closely. Her brow furrowed deeply.This woman didn’t ring any bells.Her appearance, her voice—none of it matched anyone Grace remembered.Feeling a little more relaxed, Grace attempted a smile. “May I ask your name?”“Call me Miranda,” Emily said simply.“

458 A Sinister Arrival

Grace’s quick confession wrapped up the case, and both she and Sophia were detained by the police under charges of endangering public safety. They were given a thorough lecture, though whether Grace was listening was another story.After hours of stern education, the young officer was exhausted. He downed a large cup of tea and sighed, “You were once family, right? Couldn’t you all just sit down and talk things through? And you, you’re in your fifties or sixties now. Why haven’t you taught your daughter anything good?”Grace forced a smile, embarrassment clear on her face. “Our situation is complicated. It’s not something that can be explained in a few words. Sure, I was wrong to set the fire, but there’s always a cause for everything. I was forced into a corner. You saw it when you came to arrest us, didn’t you? My daughter and I used to live well, but now we’re reduced to cleaning in nightclubs. I used to be a wealthy lady!”The young officer, with little experience and easily swaye

459 Could a Human Even Do This?

Grace looked around the small holding room, a calculating glint in her eyes. It wasn’t bad—better than the dingy room they had been living in. Most importantly, after three years of living in shame, she had had enough of this miserable existence. Maybe getting arrested could be her way out.“Mom, what are you thinking?” Sophia asked, her voice trembling slightly.“Sophia, do you want to go back to the nightclub?”Sophia’s face turned pale with terror. “I don’t want to…”Three years ago, she had been the mistress of a wealthy man, but he was a complete p.ervert, and she had nearly died because of him. Despite all that, he was stingy, giving her little money. After a while, he dumped her for Chloe, a well-known actress. For him, being with a celebrity was far more prestigious than being with a bar girl like Sophia.Sophia had heard that he showered Chloe with gifts—cars, houses, jewelry—while all she got for her three years with him was less than ten thousand dollars. Then Sophia got si

460 Testing Waters

Grace had set fire to her ex-husband’s old house this time.What a messed-up situation, and of course, it had to fall into his lap!"I know what's going on," Carol said. "But today, I really got to see her acting skills firsthand. She can cry on command in an instant—what a waste she isn’t an actress."……Emily left the police station and headed straight to the Great Wall Group.It had started to drizzle outside.Strange weather. It's mid-winter, and instead of snow, it’s raining in New York.When she entered the office, Ken was visibly surprised."Miranda? Are you feeling better?""Me?""Yeah, Dylan said you weren’t feeling well and needed to take a few more days off. Why are you here so soon? If you're still not well, you should rest. Don’t push yourself. I’ll help with company matters; you don’t have to overwork yourself."Emily smiled warmly. The support from those around her always helped lift her spirits."Thanks, Ken.""Well, in this design business, there aren’t many people I
