Herry grumbled impatiently, "So embarrassing." He pulled Emily inside, hesitated for a moment, then pulled Mr. Satan in as well, slamming the door shut and locking it from the inside. Emily asked him, "Have you seen the news about Sophia?" "Yeah," Herry replied nonchalantly. "It’s disgusting. She deserves all the criticism she's getting." Emily felt a wave of awkwardness. Even though the critical parts of the photos were blurred, they were still inappropriate for a minor. Many of the images were explicit, and Herry was only twelve years old. "Boys at his age know everything," Mr. Satan observed, understanding her concern. Herry sat on the edge of the bed, swinging his legs back and forth, eyeing Mr. Satan. "You’re the guy who’s been hanging around outside our building waiting for my sister, right?" Mr. Satan raised an eyebrow, "You know me?" "I’m not blind. I saw you at the haunted house before, too. You were wearing a mask, so I didn’t see your face." Herry’s eyes shifted between Emily and Mr. Satan. "You two finally got together, huh?" Mr. Satan found this amusing, "What do you mean ‘finally’?" "I mean you’ve been waiting a long time. Bro, you’re really patient. Standing outside our building night after night, I got tired just watching you." Mr. Satan raised his eyebrows, "What do you call me?" Herry asked: Are you already my brother-in-law? Emily silently broke into a cold sweat. Herry might be only twelve, but he was very perceptive. Mr. Satan chuckled, "When your sister and I have our baby, you’re welcome to visit us." Herry was stunned, "Wait… Sis, you’re pregnant?" Emily nodded, "Yes.""Then… when… when is the baby due?" Herry stammered, rubbing his hands nervously. "In a few months." No sooner had Emily finished speaking than a loud noise startled them, making her ears ring. "What’s going on?" Mr. Satan helped her sit on the bed and said to Herry, "Take care of your sister. I’ll go check." Herry grabbed his arm, "Don’t. The people outside are beating Sophia! Don’t go out there." "Beating her?" "Yeah," Herry laughed, playing with his fingers nonchalantly. "Everyone around here knows her and has seen the news. They’re angry on my sister’s behalf. They all hate Sophia." Emily asked, "Then why is she still living here?" Herry shrugged, "She has nowhere else to go. She’s broke. A few days ago, she disappeared for a night and came back covered in bruises. I guess she got into trouble again and came here to hide. But people here know her and don’t treat her any better. Sis, we should just ignore her. She made your life miserable, and now she’s getting what she deserves." Emily was once again struck by the startling words from a child’s mouth. How much did he know? With a loud swish, Herry pulled open the curtains. The small house had only one window, which offered a clear view of the outside. At the alley’s entrance was a narrow breakfast shop. This shop had been there for years, even before Emily’s earliest memories. The regular customers were the neighbors, everyone knew each other. Because the shop was close to Emily’s house, the owner was kind to Emily, often giving them unsold pastries. But no one expected that both Emily and Sophia would grow up and become known figures. Emily was rumored to be involved with a famous celebrity, and then Sophia’s explicit photos spread widely online. As the saying goes, bad news travels fast. People quickly forget celebrity gossip, but everyone remembered Sophia’s scandal. William and Emily had worked hard to support her education, and she not only showed no gratitude but also framed Emily! The neighbors’ anger had finally boiled over. Herry pointed outside, clicking his tongue, "Sis, if she screams for help, who will save her? No one here likes her. No one will help her." Emily looked at him directly. Herry rubbed his nose, "Don’t expect me to. I’m only twelve. And my mom told me to look out for myself and not worry about others." Emily sighed inwardly. Had Grace finally given up on Sophia too? It seemed Sophia’s good days were over. "Sis, look!" Herry suddenly exclaimed, pulling on her sleeve to look outside. Emily focused and saw another familiar face. Logan seemed taken aback by the scene he encountered on his first visit here. He had come to find Grace to finalize the divorce but was quickly spotted by Sophia as soon as he entered the alley. Sophia shouted desperately, "Dad! Dad, help me!" Everyone laughed, "Who are you calling Dad? Your dad is in the hospital!"
