Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal

Chapter 199 The Mother-in-law Arrives

Emily smiled and stopped arguing with her. She realized that Sophia always interpreted things with her limited intelligence. There was no point in arguing with Sophia. The real show was yet to come, and Emily just needed to wait. In the following days, Sophia and her mother Grace received numerous phone calls. Previously, Emily didn't know much about the lives of the wealthy, but now she discovered that the richer people were, the more snobbish they seemed. Emily didn't know the exact status of the Norman family, but she could sense some of it from the changes in their daily lives. One of the most obvious changes was the sudden increase in visitors to the Morgan household. Some people claimed they wanted to visit Logan Morgan, some said they wanted to be friends with Sophia, and some admired Grace's taste. They had many reasons, but their ultimate goal was the same: to establish good relations with the Morgan family. Logan enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. He was very happy every day and even gave Emily a bank card one day. Emily looked at the bank card he handed her and didn't accept it. "What does this mean?" "It's your pocket money. Go buy some clothes." Logan, drunk and with cheeks as red as tomatoes, wobbled into his bedroom. Emily hesitated for a moment but eventually accepted the card. Ever since attending the Norman family's banquet, the Morgan family's life had undergone drastic changes, but Emily's life remained calm. When Lucas had filming to do, Amanda would call her in advance. She would go to the location at the agreed time to style Lucas. When there was no work, Amanda would give her the freedom to do as she pleased. Emily bought many books on architectural design. When she had no work, she read in the attic. The living room was bustling with guests visiting from morning till night. But none of this had anything to do with Emily. This life continued for a week. One ordinary morning, an unexpected guest arrived at the Morgan household.Emily was reading a book on engineering mechanics when she suddenly heard a commotion downstairs. It wasn't the usual happy chatter; it sounded like a quarrel. The Morgan family was now highly sought after. Who would dare come here to cause trouble? Emily opened the door and glanced at the living room, immediately letting out a cold laugh. How could she forget about Carol? Carol was pointing at Sophia's nose, scolding, "You're pregnant with my grandchild, and now you're suddenly involved with the Norman family? Sophia, Nathan and I have always treated you well. How could you be so shameless?" Carol's words were always harsh, and Sophia would no longer tolerate them. She sneered at Carol, ready to unleash all her grievances. "Carol, don't make things up. I was forced by your son." "Forced? Nonsense! How can you say that? Who seduced Nathan every day, became his mistress, drove away her cousin, and cried to marry him? Your prenatal checkup records are still at the hospital. Don't think you can deny what you've done." Hearing Carol mention the prenatal checkup records, Grace's eyes darted around. She quickly pulled Sophia aside, signaling her to keep quiet for now. Grace stepped forward to face Carol. Seeing Grace made Carol even angrier. "We're both mothers. Your daughter did something disgusting. How did you raise her?" Grace was not as impulsive. She smiled and held Carol's arm, "Don't be angry. Things are a bit complicated. Why don't you sit down, and I'll explain everything?" Reluctantly, Carol sat down on the sofa. "Fine, I want to hear how complicated it can be." Grace smiled and waved, "Sophia, make some tea for Carol." Sophia bit her lip and went to the kitchen. Sophia understood that her mother had a better plan. She always caused trouble, so it was better to let Grace handle this matter. As Sophia made tea in the kitchen, she could still hear their conversation. On her way to the kitchen, she seemed to sense something and looked up. Emily stood by the attic railing, holding a book and wearing metal-framed glasses, leisurely watching everything unfold in the living room. She looked like a spectator enjoying a drama.Sophia glared at Emily. Emily only smiled more cheerfully. Carol and Grace's fake relationship was finally about to collapse due to Sophia's greed. Emily enjoyed watching this kind of drama. Perhaps Emily's smile was too dazzling, Sophia muttered a curse under her breath and hurried into the kitchen. The voices from the living room drifted in. Carol said, "I don't like Sophia. I don't want her to be my daughter-in-law, but the child in her womb must be born. This baby is part of our family, my first grandchild. This child must be born, and then I will take him away." Grace, much calmer than Carol, handed her a cup of tea with a smile. She knew she held the upper hand now and didn't need to appease Carol like before. "This might be... difficult." Carol's eyebrows shot up immediately.
