Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal
Amanda's smile seemed a bit forced. Emily was getting more and more worried. “Why don’t you ask a male colleague to go with you? It’s really not safe for you to go alone. Better be careful.” Amanda laughed bitterly. “Emily, do you know who’s looking for me?” Emily shook her head. “It’s the local gang,” Amanda said. “But these people are easy to deal with. They saw our concert was a huge hit and wanted to collect some protection money. I just need to give them some cash. But I can't take you back to the hotel tonight. You should stay here at this hotel, don’t go back. You’re pregnant, you need to be careful.” Emily nodded. “I understand.” “I’m leaving now. Confirm your return time with me and send me a message. I’ll book your tickets.” With that, Amanda hurried away. Berlin was chilly at dawn, and Emily couldn’t help but shiver. She had a bad feeling. She went to the front desk and booked a room, took the elevator, swiped her card, and opened the door. All her luggage was still in the room Satan had booked, but the hotel provided all the necessities. Emily washed up and went to bed. She planned to take a taxi in the morning to get her luggage. But before dawn, there was a loud knock on her door. “Emily, are you in there?” It was Lucas’ voice, and he sounded anxious. Emily woke up with a start, took a moment to gather her thoughts, and rushed to open the door. Lucas stood outside, his eyes red with anger, looking like a furious lion. “Emily, where did Amanda go?” Emily’s heart sank. Her intuition told her that Amanda might really be in trouble. “She said our concert was too popular and offended some gang. She went to give them some money…” “Damn,” Lucas said, “Amanda’s phone is unreachable.”Emily’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly grabbed her phone to call Amanda. When she picked up her phone, it was already hot, and Carol’s call was still ongoing. She put it on speaker. There was no sound from the other end. She called out a couple of times but got no response. Time was pressing, so she hung up and started calling Amanda. The first call didn’t go through. The second call went through but was immediately disconnected. Lucas stood by, his expression growing darker. “Lucas…” Lucas’ face was pale, but he was still somewhat rational. “Emily, you call the police. I’m going out to check.” Emily said, “Are you going alone? What if there are too many of them? You won’t be able to save Amanda, and you’ll be in danger too!” “I can’t just do nothing. Amanda has been my agent since I was a nobody. She’s like a sister to me. I can’t pretend nothing happened,” Lucas turned and left. “Emily, stay in the hotel and lock the door. No matter who comes, don’t open it. Just do one thing: call the police.” With that, he rushed out. Emily didn’t have time to think. She quickly locked the door, propped a small table against it, and hurriedly dialed the emergency number. But she couldn’t understand German. What should she do? In a panic, Emily called Mr. Satan. “Emily?” Emily was so anxious she was about to cry. “Mr. Satan, please help Amanda…” Mr. Satan’s voice instantly became serious. “Are you crying? Don’t cry, Emily. Tell me what happened.” Emily was frantic, her voice trembling. “Amanda… Amanda is in trouble. Lucas told me to call the police, but I can’t understand German…”Emily explained what had happened. “Are your people still around me? Do they know Amanda is in trouble? If possible, can you ask them to help?” Mr. Satan said, “They are here, but there aren’t enough of them. I’ll contact some friends. Emily, don’t panic, keep yourself safe, and I’ll handle it.” “Okay…” After hanging up, Emily still felt short of breath. She could disregard others, but she couldn’t stay calm when it came to Amanda, who had always taken care of her. She had no one else to turn to but Mr. Satan. Every second felt like a year. She waited in the hotel room all morning before receiving any news. Mr. Satan said, “It’s Sophia’s doing.” “What?!” Emily was shocked. “She’s in Germany?” “She did an exchange program in Germany, remember?” Yes, Sophia had been an exchange student in Germany for a year. Emily had even exchanged euros for her. “The person who called Amanda was a friend of Sophia’s, or rather, her ex-boyfriend,” Mr. Satan said. “He wants revenge.” “Revenge on Sophia?!” “No, revenge on you,” Mr. Satan’s voice was deep. “Because when Sophia broke up with him, she said it was because you didn’t approve of their relationship, so they had to break up. Sophia aborted his child, returned to the US, and soon started dating another man. He believes you broke them up and ruined Sophia.” Emily shouted anxiously, “Then he should have called me! Why Amanda?” “He intended to call you, but for some reason, he called Amanda instead. Emily, was your phone always available?” Emily was stunned.She had never hung up on Carol’s call… If Sophia’s ex-boyfriend called during that time, he would have heard a busy signal! So he called Amanda instead, deciding to take revenge on her friend! That guy was a psycho! Mr. Satan said, “The police are already looking for her. We’ll have news soon. Emily… prepare yourself mentally. Amanda’s situation might not be good.”
