Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 Be My Mistress
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 switch wouldn't be placed too high.

"Emily, watch your step."

Suddenly, a tremendous force from her waist pulled her back forcefully. The chamber was already dim, and Emily, focused on finding the switch, wasn't prepared and fell backward.

It wasn't until she felt Nathan's warm body that she realized something was off.

"I'm fine, let go of me," she said.

Nathan held her tighter. "It's too dark here; you'll be safer sticking with me."

"I'm not afraid of ghosts," Emily replied, then added, "The ghosts in this haunted house are just people in costumes. What's there to be afraid of?"

Nathan still didn't release her, saying, "Do you have to keep your distance from me like this? Sophia just tried to fall into my arms several times, but I dodged. You don't need to pretend to be strong in front of me. This haunted house is really scary; you don't need to act tough."

"Think what you want," Emily said, forcefully shaking him off. "If I weren't strong, how could I endure your four years of emotional abuse, or your mother's mistreatment? If you like gentle women, go find Sophia. Leave me alone."

She took a few steps away, but Nathan quickly caught up, wrapping his arm around her waist to prevent her from leaving. He smiled and said, "You're so tender towards that masked man, aren't you? You cook and do laundry for him. Why can't you serve me like that?"

Emily was shocked. "How do you know?"

"Emily, do you think just because I'm pursuing you, I wouldn't dare do anything to you? Don't forget, aside from being a man, I'm also the CEO of Reed Group. If I want to know something, I can find out."

Emily felt a chill throughout her body.

Her encounters with Satan had only occurred in the Hilton hotel room. She was alone at home when she cooked and did laundry, so how did Nathan know?

She was suspicious. "You had someone investigate me?"
