Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal
As Emily’s pregnancy progressed, she felt increasingly fatigued. She had been in the attic all day, reading. She was so tired that she lay on the bed, listening to Mr. Satan’s gentle, deep voice, and eventually fell asleep. When she woke up in the morning, she realized the call had lasted all night. Her phone was warm in her hand. Hearing her stir, Mr. Satan said softly, "Awake?" Emily rubbed her hair, a bit embarrassed, and brought the phone closer to her ear. "I fell asleep. Why didn’t you hang up?" "I didn’t want to," Mr. Satan said. "I like hearing you breathe. It makes me feel happy." Emily walked to the window and looked down. The familiar streetlight below was no longer accompanied by the car. He wasn’t there. "My grandmother asked me to come home this morning," Mr. Satan said. "Her driver will come to pick you up shortly. Get ready; he should be arriving soon." Emily asked, "How is your grandma’s condition?" "Grandma?" Mr. Satan sounded very pleased. "Yesterday, you called her Meggie, and today you’re calling her grandma?" His words made Emily’s face flush slightly. "I didn’t! I just said it offhand." "Hmm," Mr. Satan chuckled. "She is already your grandma." "Stop laughing." "I’m really happy," Mr. Satan’s tone was light and excited. "Grandma drank the herbal medicine and woke up this morning without coughing much. She said her chest feels much better." Emily’s heart eased, a small smile forming on her lips. "That’s good." "But Emily, when you go out today, remember to put on some makeup. The more haggard you look, the better." "Why?" "Logan starved you for a day. If you look too healthy, he’ll be suspicious."Emily chuckled. "Alright, I got it." "Hmm," Mr. Satan’s mood lifted even more at her laughter. "Herry has a conscience. He knows to secretly bring you pizza. I didn’t expect him to care about you so much." Emily hadn’t expected it either. "He’s helped me more than once," Emily told Mr. Satan about Grace putting acid in the dish soap. "If he hadn’t warned me in advance, I might have been hurt. Herry isn’t inherently bad; Logan has spoiled him too much. If properly educated, he could be a good kid." Mr. Satan agreed. They exchanged a few more words before a car engine sounded downstairs. Emily looked out the window and saw a car. She recognized it as the Norman family’s car. "The driver is here." "Okay," Mr. Satan said softly. "See you soon." "See you soon." Emily hung up the phone and quickly put on makeup. Her face was pale, her lips devoid of color, and her eyes lacked their usual brightness. Emily looked at her "haggard" self in the mirror and was quite satisfied. Ding- The doorbell rang. It was 7:30 in the morning, and Logan, Grace, Sophia, and Herry were having breakfast at the dining table. "Who could it be so early?" Logan frowned, looking at Grace. "Grace, go check." Grace nodded, put down her half-eaten sandwich, and went to open the door. As soon as she opened it, she was shocked. Bad news came so quickly?! Meggie’s maid Bella stood outside with a serious expression. "Mrs. Morgan, Meggie sent me to pick up Emily." Her voice was loud enough for Logan to hear.Logan was startled. So, Emily caused trouble with Meggie’s treatment, and now Meggie was in trouble! The Norman family had come to settle accounts with Emily. Logan abandoned his breakfast and hurried to the door, rubbing his hands and explaining to Bella, "I’m sorry, it’s my fault that Emily caused such a big problem. But I need to clarify, I’m not related to Emily. She’s an orphan I kindly took in. She’s responsible for her own actions. I’ve already advised her, but she wouldn’t listen. Please explain this to Meggie. My wife and I had no idea what kind of person Emily was or that she would dare to do something so outrageous…" Bella frowned slightly, clearly displeased. "So, you have no relationship with Emily?" "Yes, I have absolutely no relationship with her. I hope Meggie won’t blame us because of her." Bella smiled slightly. "Okay, I will relay your words to Alex and Meggie without missing a single word. In the future, no matter what happens to Emily, we won’t associate her with you." Logan and Grace exchanged a smile. Logan felt relieved. Emily would bear the consequences of her actions, and whatever the Norman family did to Emily wouldn’t affect Logan. He would remain the respected designer he was. Grace was delighted because Logan had finally severed ties with Emily! As long as Logan didn’t side with her, Grace could easily kick Emily out of the house! Sophia, who had been in the living room, was also thrilled, barely able to contain her excitement. Emily, your retribution is here. Let’s see how long you can stay smug! Bella continued to ask, "Where is Emily?" Logan replied happily, "I locked her in the attic. She hasn’t had anything to eat all ady. I wanted her to reflect properly." "You locked Emily up and didn’t give her food?!" Bella was shocked. "That’s illegal detention, you know? If Emily has nothing to do with you, why are you imprisoning her and starving her? Did you know Meggie’s condition have significantly improved? Alex asked me and the driver to bring Emily for a follow-up. If she falls ill and can’t treat Meggie, how will you bear that responsibility?"
