Bryden patted Janet's head, "Don't worry, I'll think of something." "What can you do? The banquet is about to start, and you're injured..." Bryden looked at the shoe in the tree, feeling troubled. "Jackson went too far. How could he throw your shoe so high?" Janet pouted and defended Jackson, "He was the captain of the basketball team in school. Throwing a three-pointer is his specialty, so tossing a shoe is easy for him." "You still defend him. Let me guess, you were pestering him again, and he didn't want to talk to you, so he threw your shoe up there to get rid of you." Janet got angry, "Bryden Norman! One more word and I'll sever ties with you!" They kept bickering, but Emily could see they had a good relationship. Emily found it amusing. Mr. Satan was such a serious and composed person, yet he had such lively siblings. It was indeed interesting. However, Mr. Satan had mentioned that his parents were his foster parents, so he didn't share blood relations with these two. Hence, their personalities were quite different. She patted Bryden's shoulder, "It's okay, let me try." Bryden's eyes widened as he looked at her. First, he looked at her face, then his gaze slid down to her legs. Emily wasn't wearing stockings today. Her skirt was cinched at the waist. If she climbed the tree, she might get injured or risk exposing herself... Emily smiled gently, "I'm not heavy." "Huh?" Bryden didn't understand her meaning. "I mean, can you lift me? Together, our height should be enough to reach the shoe." Janet clapped, "Yes, brother, you can lift her. She'll definitely get my shoe down." Saying this, Janet winked at Bryden and smiled meaningfully. Bryden's face instantly turned red. Emily was very sexy today, and her legs looked long and smooth. He could hardly imagine what it would feel like if his hands touched her legs. "Can you do it?" Emily asked."Sure, let's do it!" Janet had already pushed Bryden to crouch down. "You can sit on his shoulders. My brother is very strong!" Bryden nodded, "I am strong, don't worry." Emily wrapped her skirt around her legs and then sat on Bryden's right shoulder, "You can stand up now." Bryden licked his lips, feeling the weight and the faint fragrance on his right shoulder. He took a few deep breaths, "Please give me your hand, I'll support you." Emily nodded and naturally held his large hand. Bryden adjusted his position and slowly stood up. Emily reached out and easily took down the shoe, "Got it." "Great!" Bryden slowly squatted back down until Emily was safely on the ground before letting go of her. Emily quickly stepped back to keep a safe distance, then handed the shoe to Janet, "Here’s your shoe." "Wow, thank you!" Janet was delighted. She took the shoe and put it on, then happily looked at Emily and then at her brother. "Brother, if you want to look at us, just look. Your sneaky glances make you look like a thief." Bryden looked like a kid caught stealing snacks, instantly embarrassed, "What nonsense are you talking about!" "I'm not talking nonsense! Brother, your neck is red! Hahaha! Oh my God, my brother actually got shy. This is a miracle! I need to let mom and dad see this!" Bryden gritted his teeth, "No!" Janet had already run off, turning back to stick out her tongue at Bryden, "I won't be a third wheel! Make good use of your chance!" With that, she ran away. Bryden was so angry he could hardly stand it, but with Emily standing next to him, he didn't dare say anything. He scratched his head awkwardly and apologized to Emily, "Sorry, my sister has been spoiled by our parents since childhood. I apologize."Emily nodded, "It's okay, your sister is very cute." "Really?" Bryden chuckled, "My sister is just a bit headstrong, but she's not a bad person. She loves princess dresses and likes being treated like a princess, but she doesn't have bad habits." "Princess dresses suit her," Emily thought for a moment, "Actually, I think a different hairstyle might match her dress even better, like a braid" Bryden was surprised, "Are you a hairstylist?" Emily replied, "I am Lucas's stylist." "Oh, I see!" Bryden suddenly realized, "I thought you looked familiar. You're Lucas's beautiful makeup artist! You changed your style today, so I didn't recognize you." Emily smiled without saying anything. "Uh... I remember your name is Emily, right?" Emily nodded, "Yes, Emily." "Your name matches your temperament," Bryden said. "Can I invite you for a walk?" Emily looked up at him. "Oh, no, I didn't mean it that way. I just thought... did you come alone? If you don't mind, can I show you around my home?" To Emily, this was an offer from a future family member. Emily was also curious about Mr. Satan's home. She looked back and saw Logan and Grace mingling with guests like social butterflies. Sophia was also busy, seizing every opportunity to meet eligible bachelors. Sophia's style today was right. She gave off the first impression of a gentle and noble rich girl. So many young men were willing to talk to her, some even offering her champagne. Never mind, she would wait quietly for the show to unfold. "Alright," Emily smiled, "But Mr. Norman, I'm pregnant, so I might walk slowly. Please don't mind." Bryden's expression instantly stiffened, "You're pregnant? You're married?" "Yes," Emily said calmly, "I've been married, and I'm divorced."
