Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal

Chapter 176 An Eye For An Eye

Grace raised her phone, showing the photos they were talking about. Emily looked at the photo. The image depicted her and Lucas in the TV station's makeup room. Lucas was half-lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting, while Emily was carefully covering him with a blanket. Emily instantly understood. This was Grace's counterattack. Her scandal with Lucas had previously been fabricated by Sophia, but the incident reversed quickly. The media's attention shifted to Sophia, and with Amanda's efforts, the rumor about her and Lucas didn't spread much. The consensus was that contact between a celebrity and their makeup artist was normal, and there was nothing ambiguous about it. But this time, things were a bit different. Last time, Lucas had helped her when she almost fell, which could be interpreted as a gentlemanly act. But this photo seemed more ambiguous. Lucas was sleeping, and Emily was covering him with a blanket. Their relationship appeared quite intimate. If someone wanted to spread rumors, this photo would be strong evidence. Emily realized she had been careless. She shouldn't have covered Lucas with a blanket herself; she should have asked Lucas's male assistant to do it. Grace would arrange for someone to take secret photos at the TV station. When Emily returned to her room, Satan sent her a message: "The photos were taken by Chloe's people. She often records shows at the TV station, so she's familiar with some staff. It seems Sophia hasn't given up on spreading rumors about you." Chloe and Sophia were unusually close. If Chloe wanted to take some photos of Emily, she indeed had the means. However, this time Sophia didn't give the photos to the media but to Logan. This indicated that she no longer cared about others' opinions. She wanted to destroy Logan's trust in Emily. In other words, she wanted an eye for an eye. Emily suspected that this idea came from Grace. Having grasped the situation, Emily relaxed.After hanging up the phone, Emily went to Herry's room. Herry's injuries were still severe. His entire cheek was wrapped in thick bandages. His face was still swollen. Loganand Grace were with him. Sophia was also in the room, but she wasn't by the bed; she was sitting alone on a small sofa in the corner, watching her phone. Seeing Emily enter, Sophia became alert. "Is Herry feeling any better?" Logan's expression remained grim. "His condition isn't good; he still needs time to recover. Emily, did you hear what I said earlier? I'm just starting my cooperation with Mr. Taylor. I need to maintain a stable relationship with him. I can't afford any scandals right now, do you understand?" Emily nodded, "I understand, I'll be careful." "Good. I know you're a smart girl and won't let me down." "Mr. Morgan, I believe Mr. Taylor appreciates your talent and wouldn't judge you based on rumors about me. Please rest assured." Logan looked troubled. "To be honest, although I've joined Mr. Taylor's company, there's a big boss behind Mr. Taylor who funds him. This mysterious boss has a strong background. This weekend, the boss wants to meet me and has asked me to bring my wife and children to his party. How can I explain if they find out about your scandal?" A mysterious boss behind Mr. Taylor? A thought flashed through Emily's mind. Could this mysterious boss be Mr. Satan? "The boss asked you to bring your wife and children. Is this a private party?" "Yes, the party is at his private villa. He invited my family." Logan coughed awkwardly, "Herry is sick. We need someone to take care of him. Sophia has never taken care of a patient and won't do a good job. So, I plan to take Grace and Sophia to the party. You stay home and look after Herry." Emily understood. Logan's words were just to make it clear she wouldn't be going to the party. Emily sneered. Logan had let her live in the house, but he still resisted acknowledging her as his daughter in public. A famous designer couldn't have an illegitimate daughter. It would damage his reputation. He could take his wife and stepdaughter to the party to appear compassionate and kind, but he wouldn't let his daughter be seen. It was all for his image. Mom, what kind of s.cumbag did you fall in love with? "Alright," Emily said with a smile, "I'll take a day off to stay home and take care of Herry." Emily's compliance puzzled Grace. Grace had expected Emily to react strongly, to argue with Logan and stand up for herself. She had planned to instigate a fight between them, hoping Logan Morgan would grow to dislike Emily. But Emily didn't object at all and agreed so readily. "Emily, I should take you to the party since you're Logan's daughter..." "That's not important," Emily smiled calmly, "The grudges of the last generation are their business. I just want to get along with Mr. Morgan. These things don't matter to me anymore. Meeting Mr. Morgan now is enough for me. I won't cause him any trouble." Logan was touched by her words. "Emily, you're a considerate daughter," Logan sighed, "I know your childhood was tough, but... I had my reasons. You understand that, right?" Emily nodded. "Good. You're different from your mother. You are kind and gentle. Don't worry, I'll let you stay in my house. As long as you don't reveal our relationship, I won't treat you unfairly." Emily smiled and nodded. Logan Morgan placed great importance on the party. On Friday, he took a day off from Mr. Taylor. He planned to take Grace and Sophia shopping for clothes. As they were leaving, Sophia deliberately spoke loudly, "Mom, Dad, are we going to the department store today?" Grace also responded loudly on purpose, "My daughter, we're not going to the department store. We're going to a high-end party, so we need the best clothes to match our status. We're going to Fifth Avenue today."
