Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal
Logan was stunned. "Meggie’s condition has improved?" Bella nodded. "That’s right. Meggie has been drinking the herbal medicine Emily prescribed for two days, and her coughing and chest tightness have significantly reduced. Emily is a benefactor of the Norman family! And you treated her like this?" Grace was dumbfounded. How could this be? Emily was a girl who hadn’t even gone to college. How could she possibly treat an illness? What was going on? Logan quickly reacted, though the atmosphere was clearly very awkward. He frowned and blamed Grace, "This is all your fault. You told me Emily couldn’t treat Meggie. You made me punish Emily!" Logan placed all the blame on Grace. Logan explained to Bella, "This is all a misunderstanding. I only acted based on what Grace said, so I wrongly blamed Emily. I’ll go bring her down right away!" Bella looked at him, speechless with surprise. How could there be such a shameless chameleon? Bella’s gaze at Logan was full of disdain. A minute later, Logan helped Emily down from the attic. Emily was already thin, and now she looked even more pale and weak. She managed to force a smile, "Bella, you’re here." Bella was extremely anxious and angry. She hurried over, pushed Logan aside, and supported Emily, her face full of concern, "Emily, don’t be afraid, I’m here. I’ll take you to the Norman house. Meggie and Alex will know what kind of abuse you’ve suffered at the Morgan family!" Logan was terrified and quickly said, "Emily, you mustn’t say anything reckless in front of Meggie and Alex…" His words carried a warning. Hearing this, Bella became even angrier. She directly scolded Logan, "You’ve already said that Emily isn’t your biological daughter, so it’s simple. Emily, go to the police and report them for illegal detention and abuse! Meggie will help you!" "Don’t say that. Bella, you’re exaggerating. There’s no illegal detention, and no abuse, besides…" Logan looked at Emily, his tone noticeably more conciliatory. "Emily, you’ve lived in our home for so long. I’ve provided you with food and shelter. Don’t I deserve some gratitude? And didn’t you want that thing? I’ll give it to you when you come back from the Norman house."Emily had been waiting for those words. She got what she wanted, so she said, "There’s no need to call the police. Mr. Morgan has been kind to me, so let’s consider this even." Logan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Bella helped Emily into the car, which soon drove off. Logan’s face turned grim as he glared at Grace, startling her. "Dear, I didn’t know Emily could treat illnesses. This can’t all be my fault…" Logan gritted his teeth, his expression dark. "From now on, you’d better not mess with her." ... When Emily arrived at the Norman house, Meggie was talking to Mr. Satan, smiling broadly. Alex and Mandy were also there. They were sitting on a sofa a little farther away. Alex looked very happy, while Mandy had a neutral expression, making it hard to tell what she was thinking. Mandy wasn’t sure whether she should be happy or not. She was Alex’s second wife. Alex had been married, but his first wife had passed away without leaving any children. Alex adopted Vincent and then married Mandy, who soon gave birth to Bryden and Janet. The Norman family was conservative and valued rules. Alex was the head of the family and handled all company matters, but social and marital issues had to be reported to Meggie. Alex respected Meggie, so he was willing to listen to her on matters outside the company. Meggie didn’t like Mandy very much. Over the years, Mandy had been careful in her dealings with Meggie, but Meggie’s attitude towards her remained lukewarm. Meggie’s concern for Vincent surpassed that for Bryden and Janet. Mandy feared that Alex would follow Meggie’s advice and leave the inheritance to Vincent, rendering all her efforts over the years in vain. If Meggie died, Mandy wouldn’t have to worry about these things. But despite being 90 years old, Meggie remained in good spirits. Mandy had transitioned from a young woman to a middle-aged one, and in a few years, she would be a grandmother, but Meggie was still the respected decision-maker of the family. Mandy was resentful. She was the nominal mistress of the house, but she knew she couldn’t decide many things. When Emily offered to treat Meggie, Mandy had outwardly objected but had been secretly pleased! She hoped Emily would cause Meggie’s death! If Meggie died, Emily would bear legal responsibility. This way, the two women she hated most would disappear, which would be perfect! But this morning, she heard that Meggie’s condition had actually improved? This Emily really had some skills. If Emily cured Meggie’s illness, Mandy would never become the true mistress! How could she be happy about that? She wanted to kill Emily! Mandy watched as Emily walked into the house, seething with anger. Meggie was delighted to see Emily and extended her hand, "Emily, you’re here. Come to Grandma." Emily smiled and walked over, taking Meggie’s hand and asking softly, "I heard you’re feeling better." "Much better!" Meggie looked at her, very pleased. "You are truly a clever and capable person. If you had gone to college, you would have achieved great success. I like you more and more." Emily asked a few questions about Meggie’s condition and adjusted some of the herbs, writing a new prescription for Bella. "Please switch Meggie’s herbs to these. If the weather is good, let her go out for a walk to help her recover faster." Bella agreed. Mr. Satan had been watching her and was suddenly patted by Meggie. "You rascal, your eyes are glued to Emily. You’ve been staring at her since she walked in." Bella chuckled, "Meggie, you should be happy. Their relationship is so good; you’ll have many grandchildren." "Hahaha! Yes! I’m looking forward to Vincent’s children. Vincent, you have to work hard and have lots of kids."
