Sophia lifted her dress and walked forward gracefully, attracting a lot of attention as Bryden escorted her towards the Norman family.Emily’s gaze drifted to the person in the center of the hall.His eyes seemed to be waiting for her. When their eyes met, a faint smile appeared on his lips.Emily frowned. He knew the dress was already on Sophia, so why did he have Sophia called over?What exactly was he planning?Mr. Satan seemed to have guessed her thoughts and gave her a reassuring look."Dear, see? I was right. As soon as Sophia met the eldest son of the Norman family, the Normans showed you such respect. They must be planning to have Sophia marry into their family! Our two families will soon be one."Logan Morgan was very proud. Bryden’s words had made him feel very proud. Especially Bryden’s respectful attitude towards him, he now felt like he was already among the upper echelons of society. He looked at Grace with a smile: "I was wrong about you before. You have great foresight

"This is outrageous!" Mandy shook her head. "Why is she so stubborn? Your words are for her own good!"Sophia quickly added, "Mrs. Norman, my sister is very arrogant at home. We hardly have a place to stay because of her. Today, she tried to steal my dress. Normally, I would let her have it, but this dress was a gift from your son, so I couldn't give it up. She got angry and tried to hit me. When my mom protected me, she even tried to hit my mom..."Sophia's eyes reddened slightly.Mandy's anger was thoroughly ignited. "Is there such a thing? How can she be so malicious? Was she never educated properly?""Don't even mention it," Grace waved her hand dismissively. "She grew up with her foster father and uncle in the slums. She didn't go to college and didn't receive a proper education."Mandy disagreed, "That's not an excuse. Even without a college education, she shouldn't resort to violence."Thinking of Bryden's interest in that girl made Mandy feel sick.Why does my son have such po

As Emily walked out, Logan was already standing beside the car, visibly impatient.She approached him. "Mr. Morgan."Logan saw her and couldn’t help but burst out, "Where did you go? Everyone has left, and it’s just you. If there had been a bus, I would have driven off myself. Do you know how many people are secretly laughing at me?"Logan pointed to a few security guards at the entrance.They stood perfectly straight, not glancing over even once.Emily sneered inwardly. Logan’s proud ego was bruised again. He believed he should be admired, but standing here alone, he felt his noble status was tainted.Emily didn't argue, instead, she meekly apologized, "I’m sorry."Logan didn’t want to make a scene in public; he still had to maintain his refined image."Get in the car."Emily opened the back door, ready to get in, when a large hand slammed it shut.Logan said irritably, "Sit in the front seat."The back seat was typically reserved for those of higher status; in Logan’s eyes, she wasn

Sophia couldn't retort and just glared at Emily angrily. Grace also remained silent.Laughter came from the living room. Grace thought Herry was laughing at them but found him watching TV on the sofa."I didn't sleep well last night. Mom, I'm going to take a nap," Sophia said.Grace stopped her. "Not so fast. Go say hello to your father first."Sophia frowned, annoyed. "No need. I'm tired and don't want to talk to him."Grace glared at her. "Listen to me. I'm your mother, and I won't harm you. Now, go to the study.""Fine," Sophia muttered and went to the study. Grace paused a moment before following her.Emily turned her attention back to her cooking, placing the omelet on a plate and setting it on the dining table. "Herry, breakfast is ready."Herry was reluctant to leave the sofa, engrossed in his cartoons. "Bring it over here for me to eat!"With Logan and Grace absent, Emily didn't want to indulge Herry's bad behavior. "I'll count to three. If you don't come over to eat, I'll thr

"Sigh, it's my fault," Grace said remorsefully. "I've neglected Sophia since she was young. She grew up with her father, and how could a man take proper care of a child? So, Sophia's health has never been good. She had a fever a few days ago. I didn't think much of it, but it turned out to be pneumonia. By the time we got to the hospital, the doctor said the baby might be at risk of miscarriage.""I don't believe you!" Carol slammed the teacup onto the coffee table, spilling the tea. She was furious. "Right now, let's go to the hospital. I don't trust a word you say."With that, Carol abruptly stood up, ready to storm into the kitchen.Grace hurriedly grabbed her. "Wait, don't be hasty. Sophia has been distressed about this too…"Carol wasn't a fool. Grace's attitude made her understand her intentions. She shouted, "She's probably secretly happy! She seduced a richer man and now wants to back out, right? I remember a few months ago, she used the baby to force Nathan to marry her. Now
