Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal
Mr. Satan bypassed Grace and walked directly into the room. Sophia’s eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets! This man, isn’t he Emily’s wanted criminal boyfriend? How could he be here? Who was he calling grandma? Meggie’s response gave him the answer: "You still remember to visit me?" Mr. Satan smiled and greeted Alex and Mandy: "Dad, Mandy." Alex and Mandy were his foster parents, but Mr. Satan’s way of addressing them showed his attitude towards them. Alex stood up, patted his shoulder, and frowned, "Why are you so late?" "There was an unexpected situation this morning that I had to deal with," Mr. Satan said as he stopped in front of Meggie, looking concerned. "Grandma, how are you feeling? What did the doctor say?" Talking about this topic made Meggie angry: "Don’t let those people come here again. They said a bunch of useless things and even suggested I might have cancer! Even if I don’t have cancer, they could make me die from anger!" Mr. Satan chuckled, "You’re still so feisty; I don’t think you look like someone with cancer at all." "You’re cunning," Meggie said, though her face softened into a smile. She looked at Emily with satisfaction and told Mr. Satan, "Vincent, I’m very pleased with your girlfriend." Mr. Satan smiled, "I knew you’d like her." "Emily is a wonderful girl. She’s gentle, polite, and most importantly, she’s very composed, which is rare in young people. I can’t stand girls who get startled by everything. They scream and cry when they see a celebrity! I don’t understand them…" Hearing Meggie’s words, Emily felt the need to explain. Emily’s current job was related to the entertainment industry, and she couldn’t let Meggie have a bad impression of celebrities. "Meggie, many young people are fans of celebrities. As long as the celebrities have a positive influence on them, it’s actually good."Meggie snorted, "I don’t see any positive influence. Last time, I saw a girl at a party shouting that she wanted to marry a man. I thought she had lost her mind. It was crazy!" This time, Meggie’s words were quite clear. She was talking about Janet. At a party last year, Janet had gathered the courage to publicly declare to Jackson that she wanted to marry him. Jackson, being a stubborn and cold person, had replied, "Not in this lifetime," making the Norman family feel very embarrassed. Fortunately, Vincent had a good relationship with Jackson’s brother, Allen Parker. The next day, Allen Parker personally came to apologize, and the matter was resolved. However, since then, Meggie hadn’t liked Janet much. She believed that Janet’s actions were influenced by her obsession with celebrities. She had even been somewhat cold towards Mandy. But a year had passed, and Janet had become much more low-key. Meggie’s attitude towards her had gradually improved. But Mandy didn’t see it that way. At home, it was fine if Meggie reprimanded Janet in private. But there were guests present today; why did Meggie still have to criticize Janet? Mandy’s face darkened. "Mom, Janet is still young. People do stupid things when they’re young. She regrets it now." "She’s still young? She’s an adult. I’ve always said that children need strict upbringing. Indulging them is harmful. You should help Janet grow up quickly." Meggie patted Emily’s hand. "Emily was already working to pay Sophia’s tuition at eighteen. What about Janet? I remember she often skipped classes." Mandy argued, "Janet is studying art. Art isn’t learned through classes but through inspiration. Just because someone goes to school every day doesn’t mean they’ll become an artist." "Then why do her classmates attend school regularly? Are they not studying art?" Meggie glared at her. "Alright, Janet is your daughter, and you know her best. I won’t interfere. But let me be clear, I won’t meddle in Bryden and Janet’s marriage. You handle it yourselves. But if you interfere in Vincent’s marriage and bring a bad girl in front of me, I won’t tolerate it. I can see a person’s true nature at a glance." Meggie’s words were very clear. She didn’t think Sophia was a good person and didn’t like her. Soon, Bella came back with the herbs. "Meggie, I’ll go make a pot of herbal tea now, okay?"Meggie nodded. "Wait a minute—" Alex was still uneasy. He called a doctor over and said, "Please take a look at these herbs." The doctor examined the herbs. "I only know a little about herbal medicine. Mr. Norman, these herbs are not harmful to the body." These doctors were all Western medicine practitioners, with only superficial knowledge of herbal medicine. However, from his words, it was clear that Emily’s method was viable. She could diagnose the problem and propose a solution, making people trust her more. Bella asked, "Alex, can I go make the tea now?" Alex finally nodded, "Go ahead." "Alright." The matter had been temporarily resolved, and Meggie was getting tired. Emily noticed her fatigue and stood up, saying it was time to go home. Meggie said, "Let the driver take you home." Grace thanked her, "Thank you." She pulled Sophia into the back seat, leaving the front passenger seat for Emily. Emily was about to get in the car when Mr. Satan stopped her: "I’ll take you." Under the shocked gazes of Sophia and Grace, Mr. Satan held Emily by the waist, opened the car door for her, and shielded her head from bumping into the door frame. His actions were caring and gentle. Grace, still in shock, asked, "Is he really Alex Norman’s eldest son?" This question had already been answered. Everyone in the Norman family had confirmed his identity. Grace suddenly turned to Sophia, "Who was the man with you in the garden that day?"
