Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal
The confrontation between Sophia and Emily, which started when Sophia had a miscarriage, shifted from being overt to covert. Though everything seemed calm on the surface, everyone knew that the undercurrents beneath the calm sea were more dangerous. Emily looked at Sophia, who was smiling, and reminded herself to be more cautious in the coming days. Sophia and her mother Grace now had no more scruples. Even though she knew the man Sophia wanted to marry was Mr. Satan, nothing could stop them from planning to marry into the Norman family. At noon, Grace received a call from Mandy. She had been getting along well with Mandy lately. Mandy, who had no one to chat with at home, quickly took a liking to Grace, who was good at reading people and socializing. They often talked on the phone. Grace was happy, and Logan was even happier. He believed his wife was capable. If Grace could help him establish a relationship with the Norman family, he would be closer to success. But today, Grace was even more ecstatic than before. "…Really? You say Alex's mother Meggie wants to meet Sophia?" Mandy was also very pleased: "Yes, she told me this morning. She'll soon send a driver to pick you up. I got the news in advance and wanted to give you a heads-up so Sophia could be prepared. Help her dress well. Meggie is a devout Christian, so Sophia shouldn't dress too revealingly." Grace immediately agreed: "Yes, I remember. Mandy, thanks to you…" "You don't need to thank me. I quite like Sophia. If she becomes my daughter-in-law, we would be family. I would be really happy." Grace was secretly delighted by Mandy's words. Although Mandy only said "if," the tone of her call today made Grace suspect that Mandy and Alex had already agreed to let Sophia marry into their family! Although Meggie was Alex's mother, she probably wouldn't interfere with this marriage. Sophia was soon going to be Mrs. Norman! "If we can become family, it would be a blessing from God." "Yes," Mandy sighed. "You should come too. When Sophia meets Meggie, you can keep me company. I've been bored to death here and only chatting with you relieves my boredom." Grace agreed. She didn't speak quietly, and Emily heard everything clearly. Grace went upstairs happily. As soon as she entered Sophia's room, she began picking out clothes and shoes for her, unable to hide her excitement. "Sophia, today we're going to meet Meggie. The Norman family is traditional, and Alex respects his mother very much. Meggie was in charge of the Norman family's affairs before she got sick. The whole Norman family respects her. Remember to make a good impression on her, okay?" Sophia was a bit nervous and planned to speak less. Without Grace's reminders, she was afraid she might say something wrong and annoy Meggie. At noon, Logan came home from the company. "Grace, where are you?" Grace hurriedly responded, "Why are you back? I'm in Sophia's room." "Come down quickly, I have something to tell you!" Logan threw his briefcase on the sofa, tugged at his tie, and sat down to wait. A minute or two later, Grace appeared. "What is it?" Logan couldn't wait: "I just received a call from the Norman family. Meggie said she wants to meet my daughters. I guess it has to do with the marriage. I rushed back as soon as I got the call. Quickly help Sophia and Emily get ready. The Norman family's driver will come to pick us up." Grace was about to say she already knew about this, but Logan's last words caught her off guard. "Emily is going too? Didn't Meggie only invite Sophia?" Logan frowned, "The purpose of this visit is to confirm Sophia and Alex's eldest son's marriage. I want them to get an impression of Emily too. I heard Alex's second son is interested in Emily. If both my daughters can marry into the Norman family, all the better." Grace cursed Logan several times in her heart but outwardly played the role of a considerate wife: "You're right, Emily should go too. But Emily wore my clothes last time. I heard from Mandy that Alex didn't like Emily's style. Emily doesn't have a formal dress. The Norman family is famous old money; it would be inappropriate for her to dress casually. It would be very disrespectful." Logan thought, "You're right. She looked good last time, but it was too frivolous. I didn't like it, and Alex would like it even less. Grace, should we buy Emily some clothes now?" "There's no time," Grace pointed to her watch and said, "Mandy just told me that Meggie's driver has already left. If the driver arrives and we're not home, it would be even more disrespectful." "Then what should we do?" Logan was anxious, "Does Sophia have other clothes Emily can borrow?" Grace found an excuse to refuse him: "Did you forget? Sophia's clothes are still at the Reed's house. Last time we bought some clothes for Sophia, but they're not Emily's size." As they were talking, Emily came downstairs. She was wearing a yellow suit today, with a delicate blouse on top and a yellow skirt below. The skirt's length was just right, covering her knees without being too conservative or too flirtatious. The style was elegant and cute, making Emily look even more attractive. It was a simple outfit, but on Emily, it looked like haute couture. Emily had her hair in a braid over one shoulder and wore flat white shoes, looking both classical and noble. "Grace, is this outfit okay?" Grace's face darkened, but Logan was delighted: "It's beautiful. This is exactly the style the elders like. Grace, what do you think?" Emily's eyes followed Logan's gaze, watching Grace's expression. Grace couldn't find another excuse. She resented Emily for being too beautiful. Whatever she wore looked great; what could she do? "I think it's lovely too," she smiled awkwardly. Logan decided, "You will come with us to the Norman family. Is Sophia ready? Tell her to hurry down; Meggie's driver will be here any minute." Logan's tone revealed his impatience.
