Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal
“Emily wants to pursue justice for her mother’s death and reclaim the reputation that should have been her mother’s. Your brother wasn’t involved in what happened back then, so Emily won’t go after him.” Daniel let out a huge sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear. I knew Emily was reasonable…” Mr. Satan paused his steps and added another reminder, “If you really care about your brother, tell him to stay away from Logan Morgan.” Daniel quickly nodded. “I know, I know. I’ll talk to him.” …… Logan Morgan looked like he had aged ten years by the time he left. His usually neat hair was tousled by the wind, and his whole demeanor was dark and brooding. Bobby followed him silently, too scared to speak. He knew just how petty Logan Morgan could be. If Bobby offended him, there would be consequences. After they had walked for a while, Logan suddenly turned around and stared at him, his gaze piercing through Bobby’s thoughts like a laser. “Did you tell your brother where Grace and Sophia are staying, like I asked?” Bobby froze for a moment, then quickly nodded. “I did, I did! I followed your instructions exactly. Now all we have to do is shift the conflict onto them. Mr. Morgan, I didn’t have a choice just now. There’s only the two of us, we couldn’t both let Emily have the upper hand, right? I just pretended to give in and then went to tell my brother the information. My brother trusts me the most. You can tell me anything, and I’ll pass it on to him, and then he’ll tell Emily. That way, we have an extra layer of protection…” Logan Morgan didn’t respond. Bobby was crafty, and whether he was genuinely backing down or just pretending, Logan didn’t care anymore. Bobby was just a student and not much of a threat to him. Right now, all Logan could think about was whether he really had to go to the media and reveal the truth about the design from all those years ago. Emily was pushing him hard, only giving him a day to decide. But could he really let his reputation, which he had built over more than twenty years, be destroyed so easily? Lisa was already dead! She had been dead for over twenty years! What good would it do to award a prize to someone who’s gone? And risking his own hard-earned reputation? That was something he could never accept. Rather than face that, he’d rather fight with everything he had. If he won, he could walk away unscathed and eliminate any future threats. Even if he lost, he’d make sure Emily went down with him—dragging her to hell too. Why should he be the only one to fall from grace?Logan Morgan steadied himself. “Let’s go back to the office.” “Mr. Morgan, shouldn’t we stir things up with Grace and Sophia? They’re barely hanging on at that nightclub, living at the mercy of a boss. If we don’t provoke them, they might not even make a move against Emily.” Logan had another plan in mind. “I’ve been thinking. Even if Grace and Sophia try to harm her, they might not succeed. The Norman family is guarding Emily closely right now. Anyone who tries to hurt her will be found out. It’s too risky.” “So, what’s the plan then…?” “Bobby, today I’m going to teach you something: sometimes, it’s better to break someone’s spirit than to kill them physically.” There was a cold, ruthless glint in Logan Morgan’s eyes, and Bobby couldn’t help but shiver. “Go find a girl who looks like Emily. Look at film schools—especially for those who are willing to do anything for money. And hurry!” Bobby, still a bit confused, nodded. “Okay, I’m on it.” “Oh, and Bobby,” Logan Morgan called him back, “get me Jackson’s phone number too. I’ll need it.” “Yes, sir.” Bobby spent the whole afternoon at the film school, but couldn’t find anyone suitable. Emily was very beautiful, and it was hard to find someone who resembled her. The few who bore some resemblance weren’t willing to cooperate for money. Bobby was stressed to the point where he felt like his hair might turn white. Then, suddenly, an idea struck him. He hurried back to the Taylor Group and went to Logan Morgan’s office. Logan Morgan was also on edge. He had been staring at a blueprint for hours but couldn’t bring himself to start drawing. When he saw Bobby return alone, Logan’s face darkened immediately. “Where’s the person I asked for? Why are you back alone?” Bobby glanced around. Most people had already left the office, and those who were still there were chatting and packing up, not paying any attention to them. Bobby lowered his voice and whispered in Logan Morgan’s ear, “I know a woman named Penelope who looks about 70-80% like Emily.” Logan Morgan’s eyes widened in surprise. “Where is she now? Bring her here.”“She’s probably at a hotel,” Bobby said. “Mr. Morgan, you don’t know this, but Penelope has a bit of history with that masked man…” Bobby then told Logan Morgan everything he knew. After hearing the story, Logan Morgan’s voice carried a hint of excitement. “Are you saying that Vincent was with Penelope before he got together with Emily?” “From what my brother said, it wasn’t exactly like he kept her as a mistress, but Vincent treated her very well. He paid off her debts, bought her a house and a car, and gave her a lot of things—basically granting her every wish. But Penelope wasn’t as attractive as Emily. After Emily came into the picture, Vincent dumped her and started seeing Emily instead. Penelope didn’t take it well. She’s confronted Emily a few times, but Vincent always stepped in and shut her down. She probably still holds a grudge.” Logan Morgan rubbed his chin, thinking it over. “Are you sure about all this? Everything your brother said is accurate?” “Of course,” Bobby said confidently, patting his chest. “My brother is one of the people in the company who has the most contact with Vincent. Plus, he’s my brother—he wouldn’t lie to me. He even promised to ask Vincent to let me off the hook.” Logan Morgan suddenly sneered. “Yeah, he asked Vincent for mercy, so you could cut ties with me. So why are you still helping me?” Bobby rubbed his hands together and chuckled. “I’ve been your student for so many years. If you lose your position as a Ph.D. advisor, then all my hard work would be for nothing, right? Of course, I want to protect you. And yeah, I won’t deny, I’m also looking out for myself.”
