Herry turned around cautiously and instantly screamed, "Ghost!!!"They saw a "female ghost" standing behind them in a white outfit with long hair covering her face, which couldn't be seen clearly.Slowly, she lifted her head, her neck twisting, revealing a pale face with large eyes and blood trickling down.She reached out her hands and started approaching Emily and Herry."Get away! Get away! Don't come to catch me! Catch her!"Herry was so scared that he lost his senses and pushed Emily towards the ghost before fleeing himself.Still reeling from immense terror, Emily was forcefully propelled forward by a strong push and was about to fall onto the "female ghost.""Hey, miss, are you okay?"The "female ghost" caught her. Worried that Emily was truly frightened, she quickly helped her sit down and explained softly, "Don't be afraid. There's a room next to this passage, and I changed into this outfit inside the room and stood behind you..."Several minutes passed before Emily regained

"Sophia! Can you please be more rational? Look at yourself now! You're acting like a shrew!""It's all because of this wretched woman, Emily!" Sophia sneered coldly, her teeth clenched, as if she wanted to sink her teeth into Emily's flesh. "If it weren't for her, we would be happily married!"Emily stood by silently, listening to their conversation.But Sophia clearly wasn't going to let her off easily. She continued her tirade, "She's a woman without a university degree. She's only fit for jobs like cleaning or being a maid. What right does she have to be Mrs. Reed?"Emily grew angry, "Sophia, I didn't use any dirty tricks to become Mrs. Reed. You know why I got married. It was Nathan's grandfather's dying wish. I never had any intention of gaining anything from this marriage. I merely agreed to fulfill an old man's last request.""You're talking nonsense! Don't paint yourself as some noble figure! Nathan's grandfather is dead, and No one can prove your story! You're quite cunning!

Sophia shouted, "You've done something dirty yourself, admit it! Why should I regret anything?"Emily nodded, glancing at Nathan.Her gaze made Nathan uneasy. "Is this about me?""Yes," Emily nodded. "Your grandfather arranged for us to marry to protect you and the Reed family.""Hah!" Sophia sneered. "Don't make yourself out to be so noble. You're just a poor girl. What can you do to protect the Reed family?"Emily remained unfazed, just looking at her quietly."The Reed family really does need me," Emily said. "Even though I'm a poor girl, I can keep a secret.""What secret?"Nathan asked. After four years of marriage with Emily, he had no idea there was still a secret between them.However, Emily's current expression gave him a bad feeling."Nathan has oligozoospermia.""What?!""What..."Nathan and Sophia both stood frozen in place. One surprised, the other bewildered, their expressions grim.Emily sighed and continued, "If you insist on forcing me to reveal the truth, then I will

Inside the haunted house, Emily entered a new room, still eerie and terrifying.Through a narrow passage, Emily entered a second chamber, themed with a vampire motif. The walls and air were filled with dim green light, and thorns lined the path. Her dress was torn by the thorns, and her legs had several scratches. Although she couldn't see them clearly in the darkness, she felt a faint sting."Herry?" Emily called softly. "Are you here?"There was still no answer.Nathan walked behind her, shielding her with his arm to prevent her from hitting the walls. "Herry is eleven years old. If he was scared, he would have shouted for help. If you haven't heard him, then he's probably not here."Emily pushed away his arm and groped to the side.The switch in the last room was in a relatively obvious position, just behind the door. Where could the switch for this room be?Herry was an eleven-year-old boy, and his height only reached Emily's shoulders. If he could find the exit himself, the switc

Emily remained silent, and Jackson furrowed his brow. He was about to retort when Emily tugged at his sleeve.She shook her head, signaling for him not to confront Logan Morgan over such a trivial matter.Despite Logan Morgan's conservatism, he was a renowned designer. If their relationship soured, Logan might target Allen Parker's company, and that would be problematic.Grace intervened with a smile, "Let's not talk like that, dear. Emily is a good girl; she couldn't have such thoughts. Come, Emily, please have a seat.""I'll stand," Emily replied, glancing over at Sophia seated next to Logan Morgan. She spoke softly, "Herry ran into the haunted house alone. He refused to leave with me. Since he dislikes me so much, I had to come out and find you."Sophia was taken aback. "Me?""Yes," Emily said. "You see, Herry has always disliked me. No matter what I say, he won't come out with me. That's why I came to find you."Recalling the unpleasant memories from in the haunted house, Sophia h
