Grace pulled Logan Morgan aside. "Darling, are you mistaken? Lisa has been dead for over twenty years."Logan Morgan was still in a daze. Yes, he had left Lisa alone to go to Europe, and soon he heard that Lisa had passed away. Lisa was dead."You two look so alike," Logan Morgan cleared his throat twice, trying to cover up his momentary lapse, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."He took a deep breath, composed himself, and approached Emily. "Miss, my son really likes this room, so I've decided to dine here. Since there are only two of you, you can go to the lobby.""Can't two people use the private room?"Emily had originally planned to lead Mr. Satan upstairs, but upon seeing Carol and Sophia, she instantly understood that the middle-aged man in front of her was Sophia's stepfather.With such domineering behavior, no wonder he had a son like Herry.Her gaze swept coldly over Sophia, followed by Carol, and she sneered, "Sorry, I arrived here first. I haven't finished my meal yet
The news was too shocking, leaving Emily unable to come to her senses for a long time.It wasn't until the waiter filled the table with dishes that she still felt somewhat dazed."Emily?" Mr. Satan called gently."Huh?" Emily snapped out of it, realizing they were the only ones left in the private room. "Where are they?""They were gone," Mr. Satan said. "They didn't dare to confront me."Emily felt somewhat disoriented. She grabbed Mr. Satan's hand, incredulously asking, "Was that man really Morgan? Did you know he had married Sophia's mother?""Emily, calm down first and listen to me," Mr. Satan said, gently stroking her back. "I knew this news would be difficult for you to accept, so I haven't told you. But unfortunately, we ran into them today. You would have found the truth sooner or later, and I'd rather be here with you than have you face it alone."Emily shook her head lightly. "Twenty years ago, Sophia's mother left, and Morgan left my mother because they were already having
Compared to the warmth of the Hilton hotel, the Reed household was now eerily quiet, with a sense of impending storm.After the scolding from Satan at the hotel, nobody had much of an appetite. This meeting was about to conclude.Carol suggested, "Why don't you stay at your mother's house for a few days, Sophia? It's been so long since you've seen each other; you must miss each other."Sophia actually wanted to stay at Grace's house, but Grace refused, saying, "She's carrying your family's heir now. I think it's better for her to stay at your house. Dads should be with their unborn children and pregnant wives. It's better for everyone."Carol didn't insist further and could only nod, saying, "You're right."Sophia and Carol saw Logan Morgan off, while Nathan sat in the living room watching TV.When Carol returned, she patted his shoulder and said, "Nathan, come with me, I need to talk to you."They went into a guest room, leaving Sophia standing outside, feeling like an outsider.She
There were several car exhibitions coming up, and the next one was on this weekend. Emily couldn't afford to relax.While she was watching makeup tutorial videos, Olivia was playing games beside her."Emily, do you think Mr. Satan might have a split personality?" Olivia asked.Emily took out her earphones. "Hm?""Oh," Olivia stretched lazily and sighed, "You said he wasn't Allen Parker, right? I've been asking friends for information lately. Although there are many wealthy and powerful young men in New York City, there aren't many as formidable as Mr. Satan. I really can't think of anyone else who could be Mr. Satan."Emily continued watching the video, but lowered the volume slightly. Her attention couldn't fully concentrate on the video anymore. "Mr. Satan has told me many times that he'll tell me the truth, but not now.""I know, so I'm thinking, maybe there's some secret he can't let everyone know, like he actually has a split personality? I watched a detective movie last night. T
Mr. Satan not only provided her with care and support but, more importantly, taught her how to face life.He must be a very powerful man.He had been lonely since childhood, with scars on his face. If he wasn't strong, he would have succumbed to the twists and turns of fate."Hey, Emily, what are you thinking about?"Emily sighed lightly. "I'm thinking about my future life."Olivia hugged her shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll always be with you.""Can you help me with lunch first?""Cooking?" Olivia's eyes widened in surprise, and she opened the food delivery app. "I'll just order food. What do you want?"Emily chuckled but didn't reply.Ring ring—The phone rang."Who is it?"Emily glanced at it. "It's Jackson.""Wow, are you going to answer?"This was the boss's call. How could she not answer?"Hello?" Emily answered."Come downstairs." Jackson's tone was terse.Emily furrowed her brow. "Boss, do you need something?""I told you to come downstairs."Emily took a deep breath, feeling resi
A designer named Morgan?Emily's heart sank. Apart from Logan Morgan, who else could it be? And Logan Morgan's daughter, who was about to get married, is Sophia.Emily felt like she must have owed Sophia a lot in her past life. That's why Sophia could keep taking precious things away from her in this life—her husband and family.It's ridiculous. Her father had also become Sophia's father, even helping her marry into the Reed family."Hey, I'm talking to you. Are you listening?"Emily nodded. "I'm listening."Jackson pushed his sunglasses up and continued driving with one hand. "To be honest, I don't like dealing with these people either. But my brother insists that I must leave a good impression on this designer and bring him into our company. This would cause our family's real estate stocks to rise."Emily asked in confusion, "Isn't your brother in the entertainment industry? Is he also investing in real estate now?""My brother mentioned that he has a capable friend who's a real est
Emily waved her hand to indicate that she was fine. "It's okay, she's very cute," she said.Hearing someone compliment her daughter's cuteness, the little girl's mother was delighted. She smiled warmly at Emily and said, "She's been reading fairy tales since she was little. We all spoil her, she's like a little princess. Her dad even decorated the house all pink for her."Emily chuckled, "You have a happy family.""You also have a great family," the little girl's mother said, glancing at Jackson. "Is he your boyfriend? He's handsome! And what straight guy would ever paint his car pink? He must have done it for you."Emily immediately knew she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "He's not my boyfriend, he's my boss. He often likes to paint his car different colors...""Not like this," the little girl's mother insisted. "I know better. Men might like bright blue, bright yellow, or even bright purple, but never pink."Emily raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. She had seen Jack
Jackson wasn't particularly good at dealing with women and children, so he instructed Emily, "I'm going to the store to get some water. Stay here and keep them company."Emily knew he felt awkward around women, so she just nodded. "Go ahead. I'll call you when Mr. Morgan arrives."Jackson raised an eyebrow. "Do you know what he looks like?"Emily tilted her head and smiled. "I'll recognize him. A middle-aged man, accompanied by a young daughter and a child. I know his son."Jackson thought about it and found it reasonable."Alright, I'm off."He didn't look back and quickly walked away.The little girl's mother tapped Emily's shoulder and whispered, "He's so cool...""Him?" Emily chuckled. She used to think Jackson was very cold and aloof, but after getting to know him better, she realized he used coldness as a shield because he wasn't good at socializing."Yeah, he's tall and handsome. Oh my God, he looks like the male lead in a romance drama!"Emily pursed her lips and smiled. "Do y
