Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal

Chapter 252 A One-night Stand

Logan exploded in anger, “You dare threaten me?! Looks like I’ve been too lenient with you, letting you act so recklessly!” “Lenient?” Grace replied coldly. “Logan, over the years, if it wasn’t for my constant strategizing behind the scenes, do you think you’d have the success you have today?” Logan, hit where it hurt, retorted fiercely, “My reputation, my wealth, they are all due to my own abilities.” “Really? Without me, where would you have gotten your study abroad opportunity?” Grace shot back. “Logan, it’s been over twenty years, and our lives are deeply entwined. But if you want to tally up everything, I can too. Your study abroad opportunity, your design award, the things you had Emma do—I remember it all…” “Shut up!” Logan shouted angrily, grabbing a table lamp and smashing it on the ground. “Get out! We’re getting a divorce!” Grace stood up straight, her gaze icy. “You’re throwing me out?” “Get out, do you hear me? Take your malicious daughter and get out of my house!” Logan yanked open the wardrobe, throwing Grace’s clothes onto the floor. “Get out, as far as you can! My reputation and success have nothing to do with you. Who are you to criticize me? Get out!” Expensive designer clothes were thrown on the floor like trash, landing at Grace’s feet. Logan gathered up the clothes into a messy bundle, walked to the door, and threw them out forcefully. Pointing to the door, he shouted, “Get out!” Sophia, forgetting about the recording, rushed out, pleading with Logan, “Dad, don’t be mad. Mom did it for me and our family. Please understand her…” “She did it for you, not for this family!” Logan sneered. “Oh, and you too—get out!” Sophia was stunned. “Dad…” “Don’t call me dad! You’re not a Morgan. You’ve never been my daughter. Your father is that wretched, poor security guard!” Logan was beyond furious. His achievements and reputation were untouchable topics, ones he had prided himself on for years. Now that Grace had torn away his facade, how could he tolerate it? His achievements couldn’t be questioned! They were his designs! Lisa and Grace were all lies!Sophia was in shock. She had never seen Logan this angry. Grace, now thrown out, stood at the door, furiously pounding on it. Sophia, terrified, could only cry and beg Logan not to be angry. But Logan, despite being middle-aged, was still a man and much stronger than Sophia. He grabbed her arm and dragged her out, tossing her out the door like garbage. He slammed the door shut, indifferent to Grace and Sophia’s cries outside. The pounding on the door echoed, but Logan turned away, returning to the living room and sinking onto the sofa, the room engulfed in a dead silence. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. After a long while, the call was answered. “Mr. Taylor,” Logan’s voice became low and ingratiating. “I’ve thrown them out. From now on, I’ll treat Emily like my own daughter. Is that enough?” James Taylor was surprised. “You really threw Grace and Sophia out?” “Yes, didn’t you say Alex and Meggie were angry at their actions and didn’t want me to handle the mall project anymore… Mr. Taylor, Emily is about to marry Vincent, so I’m practically family with the Normans, right? I joined the company with the reputation of being a chief designer. If I’m dismissed, it’s a disgrace to the Norman family too, isn’t it?” James Taylor chuckled. “You have resolve. I admire your decisiveness. You can abandon a wife of over twenty years so quickly. Impressive.” Logan sighed deeply. “I had no choice. This stupid woman used to be smart, but since her daughter came, she’s only cared about her, even sacrificing my reputation with the Normans. She only thinks about Sophia, never her husband! She’s useless to me now. Getting rid of her saves me trouble. But…” James Taylor asked, “But what? If you have any difficulties, feel free to say. Just because of Emily, I’ll help you.” Logan seemed relieved. “Emily is still the best. Mr. Taylor, Grace is very cunning and might slander me. If rumors spread, please explain to Alex that everything is fabricated by that woman. They are not true.” James Taylor understood immediately and pressed the record button. He then continued to coax Logan into saying more. “Sure, no problem. But first, tell me what kind of rumors she might spread. I can inform the media in advance so they can block those small rumors. The Norman family won’t see them.” Logan confessed everything. “It’s nothing really, mainly… Mr. Taylor, you know I had a relationship with Emily’s mother. Later, I got a study opportunity and went to Europe. Emily’s mother gave birth to her alone and died in childbirth. Grace will definitely use this against me…” James Taylor, being cautious, kept recording and encouraged him to reveal more. “So, what was the deal with you and Emily’s mother?” “It was just a mistake. We weren’t even dating. We were design classmates and both poor. We pooled money to buy a set of drawing tools, so we often drew together… I was young and did some impulsive things. I only found out she was pregnant when I was in Europe. She insisted on having the baby, and I couldn’t stop her…” “Oh, I see. So, you never actually liked Emily’s mother? It was just a one-night stand?” “Exactly, just that.”
