Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal

Chapter 186 A New Prey

Emily smiled and replied to him, "We had a nice chat. Your brother is adorable." "Thanks for the compliment." "I was complimenting your brother, not you." "You just said I'm the hero for you and our baby. I heard it. You were definitely praising me." This man was just too much… Emily shrugged and continued typing, "Were you following us just now?" "No." "Then how did you hear our conversation?" "I have my ways." This man was being mysterious again. Emily exited the chat and stopped looking at his messages. Everything she did was under his watch; she didn't need to communicate through messages about what she was doing. Emily continued walking and encountered Sophia and a young man at a corner. This young man spoke in perfect British English, looking like a well-educated member of high society. Sophia lowered her head, smiling shyly, "Why did you bring me here?" "I wanted to talk to you," the young man smiled. "I like you, and I want to date you. I can't be affectionate with you in front of your parents; that would be too rude." The young man spoke so directly. But Sophia liked his directness. "Do you really like me?" "Yes, I really like you. You have a charm I haven't seen before." Sophia covered her mouth, giggling, "What charm?" The man laughed heartily, "A charm different from other high-society girls."It seemed Sophia had already found her target and succeeded. Emily walked in another direction, preparing to leave. She had no interest in hearing Sophia flirt with the man. She returned to the garden of the villa. It was noon, the weather was a bit hot, and many ladies had taken off their coats, revealing their beautiful, delicate dresses and perfect body curves. Grace was no exception. She wore a dark red strapless long dress, holding an elegant smile while toasting with the wealthy ladies. However, the number of people around her had significantly decreased, indicating her socializing was almost over. Logan had also finished his conversation with others. He walked over and met Emily. "Emily, where did you go? I didn't see you." Emily said, "I was a bit tired and went to rest in a corner. Do you need me for something?" Logan waved his hand, "No, I just wanted to remind you not to wander around. Don't do anything embarrassing." Emily nodded obediently, "I understand." Logan was very satisfied with her compliance, "Emily, do you really not know who the man gave you the dress is?" "No, do you want to meet him?" "Something like that…" Logan found an excuse, "I've decided to work in New York. If I can meet more celebrities and dignitaries, it would surely be beneficial for us. But I'm not trying to curry favor with the rich, don't get the wrong idea." Emily smiled sweetly, "Of course, you're a noble person. You would never do such things." "Exactly," Logan looked into the distance, seeing Grace approaching slowly. He quickly walked up to help Grace with her dress, showing a gentlemanly demeanor. Many people were watching them. Some ladies cast envious glances at Grace, whispering to their companions. Their expressions seemed to say, "Look how considerate her husband is…" But they didn't know that Logan's consideration was usually only for guests to see. At home, he treated Grace no differently than a maid. At home, not only would he not help Grace with her dress, but he would also order her to do all housework. Having lived in the Morgan house for several days, Emily completely understood what kind of person Logan was. She felt fortunate that her mother hadn't married Logan. Logan was so hypocritical that only Grace could put up with him. And at this moment, Grace seemed to be enjoying herself, basking in the envious gazes of others. Emily suddenly understood. Grace and Logan were actually the same kind of people. They just needed to maintain their high-society image in front of everyone. As for what they were like at home, no one knew. In a way, they were well-matched. But Grace was truly impressive to endure Logan for so many years. Perhaps she had no better options, and she was no longer young. Now all her hopes were pinned on her daughter Sophia. Sophia initially planned to seduce Nathan, but after losing the chance to join the Reed family, she quickly shifted her target. Today's banquet was a great opportunity for her, and she successfully seduced a man. "Dear," Grace smiled, "did you have a good conversation with Mr. Taylor?" Logan looked very pleased, "Mr. Taylor said the shopping mall project is just the beginning. That big boss plans to invest in even bigger projects under the name of Taylor Group, like a large amusement park and a wealthy villa complex. He said these projects will all be entrusted to me to design. If these projects succeed, my reputation in New York will grow even more!" Grace was also delighted, "With your ability and the appreciation of Mr. Taylor and the big boss, you will surely succeed. Sophia and I will definitely support you." "Hahaha, I will succeed. You are my wife. When I become a super-rich, you will also be a wealthy lady. By the way, where's Sophia?" Grace couldn't tell him that Sophia was flirting with a man. In Logan's eyes, Sophia was already pregnant with Nathan's child, so she had to join the Reed family. If he knew Sophia was looking for new prey, he would be furious. "It's too noisy here, Sophia went to rest in a quiet corner." Logan nodded, "Sophia is pregnant. There are too many people here; she might feel uncomfortable. I just heard from Mr. Taylor that Nathan is also here today. We should arrange for them to meet and clear up their misunderstandings. They've been too childish. Sophia is pregnant, and they are still sulking. They need to get married quickly. Otherwise, Sophia's child will be illegitimate. What will people say about her? Our family will also be disgraced because of her."
