Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal

Chapter 219 You Were Used

Mr. Satan licked his lips and looked at Emily tenderly. "I’ll do whatever Emily says." Meggie teased him with a smile. "It seems the sun rose from the west today. Vincent, you’re actually shy!" Alex laughed as well. "Vincent, I’ve never seen you like this before. Ha ha…" "Since Vincent and Emily have such a strong relationship, I suggest they get married as soon as possible," Meggie thought for a moment and added, "At the very least, they should get engaged. We need to let everyone know that Emily is part of our family so others will respect her." Emily is going to become Mrs. Norman? Mandy was shocked. What happened to Meggie? According to her usual words, there are many women in the world good enough for Vincent. Why did she change her mind after meeting Emily? Mandy felt there was something fishy about this situation. Mandy smiled and said, "Mom, it seems you’re very satisfied with Emily. In that case, let’s invite Logan Morgan and his wife to our home and discuss when to hold the wedding." On the surface, Mandy was promoting Emily and Vincent’s marriage, but she actually had other plans. Grace had told her about Emily’s situation. Her mother had died early, and although she was Logan Morgan’s daughter, Logan didn’t want to acknowledge this illegitimate child. Emily currently lived in the Morgan house, but her status was awkward. Logan, to protect his reputation, wouldn’t come to meet them as her biological father, and Grace would definitely do everything to obstruct their marriage. Thus, this meeting would never happen, and the wedding couldn’t be confirmed. Alex was unaware of these matters. He nodded, "Mandy is right. Since Vincent and Emily have decided to get married, and Mom likes Emily, I have no objections. We should formally meet Emily’s parents. What do you think, Emily?" Emily smiled faintly, lowering her head. She knew exactly what Mandy was planning. "I don’t think there’s any rush," Emily said softly. "Meggie’s illness isn’t fully cured. We can consider the wedding after she’s healthy." Meggie laughed heartily. "You don’t need to worry so much. My health isn’t as weak as you think. With your help, I’m getting better and better. But I do have one concern. There’s a daughter in the Morgan family with a bad reputation. She’s entangled with the Reed family’s marriage. If we announce Vincent and Emily’s marriage now, the media will focus too much on Emily. Let’s quietly prepare for the wedding for now." The "daughter with a bad reputation" Meggie mentioned was Sophia. Alex frowned. "The Reed family? Which Reed family?" Meggie gave him a look. "Which Reed family? Nathan Reed. Nathan’s grandfather had a good relationship with your father, but his father wasn’t very smart and married a shrew, so Nathan’s personality became terrible. I heard he once cheated and then broke off an engagement. I don’t know how he was raised." With this, Alex remembered. "Nathan had an engagement with a Morgan girl?" "Of course, I often follow entertainment news. Don’t you keep up with the gossip about the major families in New York? That’s also important information." Meggie criticized Alex. "You organize parties to find girlfriends for your sons, but why don’t you investigate the backgrounds of those girls? And you, Mandy, I don’t mind you being friends with the Morgans, but you can’t let a girl like Sophia into our family. I would never agree!" Mandy felt embarrassed being scolded by Meggie in front of everyone. "I… I didn’t. I just saw Vincent liked Sophia, so I invited her…" "Which eye of yours saw Vincent liking Sophia?" Meggie interrupted her. "Vincent gave her a dress." Mandy felt aggrieved. "I thought Vincent was interested in Sophia. Although Vincent is not my biological son, I’ve always treated him as my own. I just wanted him to get married soon. I heard he liked a girl, so I took action…" Mandy’s voice carried a hint of tears. In her heart, however, she cursed Grace and Sophia a hundred times. Sophia had an engagement with another man, and they kept it from her? Now Meggie revealed this. It seemed like she was deliberately scheming. Alex quickly intervened. "Mom, Mandy was just trying to help." "Forget it," Meggie waved her hand, resigned. "I won’t say more, or it’ll seem like I’m making things difficult for her. Mandy is a good person without much cunning, but she’s easily used. You should be more vigilant and not believe everything Mandy says. If I didn’t know about Sophia’s past, Mandy might have been persuaded by Mrs. Morgan to let Sophia marry Vincent. Keep this in mind." Alex nodded. "Yes, I understand, Mom." "Sigh, you’re good at business but don’t understand the unspoken rules of socializing. You’re easily used too. What will happen to this family when I’m gone…" Meggie then looked at Emily, her expression easing. "Fortunately, we have Emily. Our Norman family will maintain its position in New York!" "Grandma, don’t say such things. You’ll live to be two hundred." "Two hundred? Then I’d be a monster! You’re just saying nice things to make me happy." Alex had work to attend to and prepared to leave. Mandy followed him out, leaving Emily and Mr. Satan with Meggie. As they walked out, they heard Meggie’s laughter. Alex sighed. "It’s been a long time since I’ve heard Mom laugh so happily. She really likes Emily." Mandy followed silently, dabbing at the corners of her eyes with her fingers. "Sigh, why are you still crying? Mom didn’t blame you. She knows you were used by Mrs. Morgan." Alex stopped, put his arm around Mandy’s shoulder, and comforted her gently. "You should be more cautious with Mrs. Morgan. She seems quite scheming. Being with her will only bring you trouble."
