Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal

Chapter 161 Meet Me

Emily was deeply surprised. Mr. Satan, such an accomplished man, had endured such a painful past. Emily opened her mouth in astonishment, "Is it because of the scars on your face?" "Emily, I'm a man." "What do you mean?" "For a man, a pretty face is never as useful as ability. My pain came from other sources, like betrayal." Emily recalled him saying something similar before. She nodded, "Your abilities are indeed strong now, truly." "I know," Mr. Satan nodded. "Ever since I met you, I told myself I had to become strong. Giving up is for losers; I must succeed." Emily nodded. She didn't say anything. They hugged together, understanding their minds without futher words. ... Sophia had been staying at Logan Morgan's villa these past few days. She was frustrated, sitting on the living room to watch TV, constantly switching channels, but her irritation remained. Nathan had announced the cancellation of their wedding. How dare he! Sophia felt like a climber who, halfway up the mountain and near the peak, suddenly fell to the bottom. It was the weekend, and Herry didn't have school. He was bouncing back and forth between the sofa and the dining table, his basketball frequently flying past her, almost hitting her belly several times. She was terrified that Herry's basketball might hit her baby. Her only leverage to turn the situation around was the baby in her womb. Nothing could happen to this baby. Grace sat nearby, shelling walnuts for Herry, "Herry, come here to mom. Eat some walnuts so you can be as smart as your dad." Herry was running around the living room. A basketball suddenly flew and landed near Sophia, narrowly missing her. Sophia screamed in fear, breaking out in a cold sweat, harboring some resentment. "Mom, can you control Herry? He's too naughty." "Boys are always naughty. Which boy stays quiet?" Logan Morgan happened to come down from the study upstairs. He heard Sophia's words and was displeased, "Herry didn't harm you." Sophia took a deep breath. She was already extremely irritated, and Logan Morgan's attitude towards her was not as good as before. He used to say he would treat Sophia as his own daughter, but now his heart was clearly inclined towards his biological son. "Dad." "Yes," Logan Morgan responded perfunctorily, asking, "Did Nathan call you?" Grace interjected, "No, he must be busy with work. Young people have a lot of work pressure. Nathan is a CEO, and recently, his shopping mall project ran into trouble. He's definitely busy." Logan Morgan's face darkened further, "Young people these days are arrogant and shortsighted! Nathan promised I could be the chief designer for his shopping mall. Now, I joined his company as an employee, but his project failed. My title as chief designer became useless. Many people are laughing at me. He hasn't come to apologize or even called. What does he mean by this?" "Dear, don't be angry. Have some walnuts..." Logan Morgan refused, "I'm not in the mood to eat. Also, Nathan canceled the wedding. What does he plan to do? If he really doesn't want to marry Sophia, we should just sever ties with him." "No, Dad, I must marry Nathan!" Sophia said urgently, "I'm already pregnant with his child. If I don't marry him, who else can I marry? I'll... I'll talk to him." Logan Morgan gave her a scornful look, "Sophia, you're a girl; you should be more reserved. You got pregnant before marriage and now insist on marrying him. What's so good about Nathan?" Sophia was about to speak, but Grace tugged at her sleeve, frowning and shaking her head, signaling her not to argue with Logan Morgan. "Dear, young people in love will always have arguments. It's not a big deal. They might make up in a few days. We, as parents, hope they will be happy. Remember our story? We came together because... well, because we liked each other." Grace's words managed to somewhat soothe Logan Morgan, but he still had his bottom line. "This is my house. Sophia can stay here, but Herry is the only boy in the Morgan family and the future master of this house. Here, Herry can do whatever he wants. What's wrong with him playing basketball in the living room? Sophia, if you live here, you must follow our rules." "Okay, okay, Sophia was just a bit anxious. Dear, don't be angry..."Grace patted Logan Morgan's back, trying to calm him down. Sophia's eyes reddened with anger, but Grace's glance made her hold back her emotions. The phone rang. She grabbed her phone and walked out, "I'll take this call outside." The atmosphere inside was too stifling. She needed to escape. "Hello?" "Two o'clock this afternoon at the Starbucks by Reed Group. Let's meet." Sophia frowned, checking the caller ID, shocked and angry, "Emily? Have you lost your mind? You want to meet me?" "Yes," Emily's voice was calm and cold. "You'd better come. I just give you one chance." "Did you put me on speaker? Is Nathan with you?" Emily sneered, "I'm not as stupid as you." "Then what do you want? Didn't you say you'd never want to see me and Nathan again?" Emily said, "Do you still want to marry Nathan?" "..." "If I don't divorce, how will you marry him?" Sophia was puzzled, "What do you mean?" "Let's discuss the price." Emily said, "I can divorce, but I won't be pushed away like this. I need to get back what's mine." With that, Emily hung up. She wasn't worried Sophia wouldn't come. Sophia was so eager to become Mrs. Reed; she would definitely come. Emily then sent Nathan a text, informing him of the time and place, and then turned off her phone.
