Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal

Chapter 120 Being Your Father

Emily listened quietly, her brows furrowing suddenly. Something didn't add up. Everyone assumed that Grace and Logan Morgan had both betrayed their families and then got together. But at that time, Logan Morgan was still a poor man trying to make it big. Why would Grace choose to elope with a poor man? She remembered hearing from neighbors in her childhood that Grace divorced because she found a wealthy man. So, did Grace have another man before marrying Logan Morgan? "What was the reason for Grace's divorce?" William frowned visibly, clearly unwilling to discuss it further. Bert couldn't contain his anger. "Emily is an adult now; we should let her know the truth. If you won't say it, then I will." Emily remained silent, waiting for him to continue. Bert sighed deeply and continued, "Grace and William were never compatible. William worked as a security guard, earning a modest salary. Grace was an ambitious woman who always wanted to marry into wealth. After giving birth to Sophia, she had an affair with a wealthy man, which led to constant arguments and verbal abuse from Grace toward William. But William endured all of it for the sake of you and Sophia. However, Grace saw his tolerance as a weakness and became increasingly unreasonable. One day, William caught Grace and another man going to a hotel." Emily gasped in shock. "They were having an affair in the hotel where William worked and deliberately let him catch them," Bert's anger was palpable, on the verge of exploding. "But do you know what Grace said? Grace said she had the right to choose her own life." William interjected, "I had no money. She desired to find a wealthy man. Let's not dwell on these old matters." "A woman like her will never be satisfied no matter how much money you give her!" Bert retorted bitterly. "Later, she left with that man. It's said that he even took her to Europe. Several years later, she found an even wealthier man and left that man too. Ha! That man deserved to be conned by Grace, considering how much money he lost." Emily caught onto a key detail from Bert's words. "Do you know who the first man Grace had an affair with was?" "That man was the manager of our hotel," William's expression turned grim. "Later, she falsely accused me of stealing from the hotel and convinced the manager to fire me. Sophia was still depending on milk powder; if I lost my job, how would I support Sophia? But she didn't care about anything; she just thought I was interfering with her dating the manager." Emily knows the rest of the story. After leaving the hotel, William tried many jobs, but his health couldn't handle heavy physical labor. He persisted in working to support his two children, which eventually led to heart problems. Much later, he found a job as a security guard, providing stable but meager income. Their lives gradually stabilized, but they still couldn't afford a house and continued to live in the slums. Bert sighed heavily. "William, the good news is that Emily has found a good job now. She's doing well, and her salary is high. You don't have to worry anymore." Everyone now tacitly avoided mentioning Sophia. Emily had become the hope of this family. "Emily has always been an outstanding person." Emily held William's hand and said, "Dad, what would you like to eat? I'll make it for you and bring it over tomorrow." William declined, "Don't bother with bringing me food. Focus on your work, and Bert will take care of me here. Don't worry about me." Emily nodded. William's condition was improving, and she was genuinely happy about that. "After I finish the next exhibition, I'll have some time off, and I'll take care of you." William smiled, "Sure, you can plan as you like, but remember, don't overwork yourself, okay?" Emily nodded, "I know, I can take care of myself." "You'll always be a child in my eyes. I always want to give you advice, hoping you won't find me too nagging." Emily leaned against William's shoulder playfully, "I like hearing you nag." William smiled and patted her head, "You're a good child. The happiest thing in my life is being your dad..." They talked for a while, and then Emily left, letting William rest. William is recovering.Things were moving in a positive direction. Over the next few days, Emily poured all her energy into preparing for the next car exhibition. The sales from the last car exhibition were excellent, so this time, they were expanding the scale of the exhibition. The manager hired 50 models, and she needed to do more preparations. She hadn't formally studied makeup in school; she relied on her talent and dedication to learning, so she was more nervous than others. But the affirmations from everyone gave her confidence. At night, she received the next work plan from the manager— The theme for the next issue was [weddings].
