Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal
No one could refute Emily's words. Grace, Sophia, and Logan all knew that the dress belonged to Emily from the beginning! Logan felt his authority being undermined. He pointed at Emily's nose and scolded, "How dare you talk back to me? Don’t you have any manners or respect?" Grace quickly patted Logan’s chest, pretending to comfort him. "Dear, don’t be so angry. Emily is your child. How can you be so harsh on your child?" Although Logan was angry, he couldn’t afford to strain his relationship with Emily too much now. Emily was dating Vincent and had gained Meggie’s favor. Emily was no longer a girl who could be easily bullied; Logan had to consider the consequences of his anger. Logan pointed to the attic upstairs. "Go to the attic and stay there. Think carefully about what you did wrong today. Don’t come down to eat until you figure it out!" "Daring, it’s so easy to order takeout now," Grace said. "If you want to order takeout, then move out!" Logan gritted his teeth and sneered, "You’ll never see your mother’s belongings again." Emily was shocked. "My mother left something behind?" Logan's gaze was icy. "I dated your mother. She gave me many things. I was planning to give them to you so you could remember her. But now, seeing how you don’t respect me as a father, I have no obligation to keep these things for you. Grace, call the cleaning service tomorrow and get rid of all that useless stuff!" Grace responded softly, "Alright." "Wait!" Emily clenched her fists tightly. "If I reflect on myself properly, will you give me my mother’s belongings?" Seeing her soften, Logan felt much better. As expected, he always had a way to control her. "We’ll see after you’ve thought it through." Grace helped Logan back to the bedroom. Sophia gave Emily a vicious look and followed them. The bedroom door was closed. Grace said, "Emily’s character is too much like her mother’s."Logan’s face was stern, still angry. "You’re right. Lisa was just as headstrong. I thought Emily was gentle, but it turns out she inherited her mother’s temperament." "She thinks that because she’s involved with Vincent, she can show her true colors!" Sophia said, clearly resentful. "Dad, you have no idea. Emily made quite a scene at the Norman house today. She even did something very scary." Logan’s heart skipped a beat. What scary thing? "She treated Meggie and prescribed some herbs, promising to cure her illness!" "Treating? Isn’t she a makeup artist? How could she know how to treat an illness?" Grace sat gently beside Logan, her tone soft. "It’s not a big deal. Meggie’s health has been poor, but she refuses to go to the hospital. Alex invited some famous doctors to the Norman house to examine her. The doctors suspected Meggie might have cancer." At this, Logan’s anger flared again. "How dare Emily claim she can cure cancer? Is she out of her mind?" "I also think she’s foolish!" Sophia immediately said. "Mom and I were terrified. She’s treating patients as a Morgan, claiming she can cure cancer! That’s cancer! Many hospitals can’t even cure cancer!" Logan’s anger burned hotter. "I’m not worried about that. I’m worried that she’s lying to get into the Norman family. On the surface, she’s gained Meggie’s trust. But we all know cancer is incurable. If Meggie’s condition worsens, what if the Norman family holds us responsible? Emily wants to stand out and gain the Norman family’s approval earlier than Sophia, which I can understand. But Emily is too selfish, betting our family’s reputation and future. If she fails, all our efforts will be wasted." Grace watched Logan’s reaction closely. He didn’t speak, but his expression showed he was brewing a storm inside. Grace’s words were like a wake-up call to Logan. Emily’s boast about curing cancer would eventually lead to failure. As long as Logan was connected to Emily, the Norman family would take their anger out on him. Emily wouldn’t be able to marry into the Norman family and would cause the Morgan family to be despised. The only solution now was for Logan to sever ties with Emily. None of them could afford the consequences of offending the Norman family. Logan said, "Call Mandy." Grace had been waiting for these words. "Okay, but... what should I say?" Logan looked at her deeply. "Tell her Emily is just an orphan I took in, with no blood relation to me." Grace was thrilled but kept her composure, nodding. "Alright, I’ll call her now." "And," Logan gritted his teeth, "don’t send Emily any food for the next few days. If she wants her mother’s belongings, she has to stay here and starve!" Sophia was delighted and couldn’t help but smile, but Grace gave her a stern look, making her quickly leave the room. Grace also left the bedroom. "Mom, you’re so smart!" Sophia admired Grace. "Just a few words and you’ve driven a wedge between Logan and Emily. Let’s see what she’ll do now!" Grace gave her a warning look. "We can’t be complacent. Even if Emily has angered Logan and Mandy, she still has Vincent, the masked man, by her side. We’re far from winning." Talking about the masked man made Grace’s expression darken. Emily was just an abandoned woman. How did she get involved with Vincent? Today, they had behaved intimately and naturally, clearly having been together for some time.
