Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed novel Chapter 115

Chapter 115 Exiting The Haunted House

Herry wasn't as difficult to communicate with as Emily had imagined.

Emily had braced herself for his insults, but he surprisingly opened up quickly.

"Come with me. Your mom and dad are waiting for you."

Herry pouted, "Are we going back the entrance? That's embarrassing!"

"What do you want to do then? Do you want to keep going? There's a long way ahead, and it's only going to get scarier. Aren't you afraid?"

Herry looked conflicted.

He was definitely scared, but he didn't want to admit it.

But soon enough, Herry stood up and took her hand. "I think you can lead me out."

As Herry held her hand, Emily could feel the sweaty palms of the frightened little boy.

"I can't promise I'll definitely get you out," she said.

But Herry seemed confident in her. "Stop talking, let's go! I don't want to be a coward! People will laugh at me!"

Ring, ring—

Her phone rang.

Emily picked it up. "Hello?"

"Are you continuing onward?" Mr. Satan asked.

Emily lightly responded, "How did you know?"

"I guessed," Mr. Satan said. "Kids like Herry are the hardest to control. If you can get him out today, he won't dare bother you again."

Emily glanced at Herry beside her and chuckled.

Herry scowled unhappily, "What are you laughing at? Hang up! Pay attention, will you?"

Emily didn't hang up. "If you rush me, I'll turn back."

"Hey, you… beauty! Don't think just because I said you're pretty, you can do whatever you want! If I get out, I'm still going to tell my dad!"

"Okay, suit yourself," Emily replied nonchalantly.

Mr. Satan's light laughter came through the phone. "I heard that."

"What?"

"He complimented your looks."

Emily sighed. "You didn't hear him calling me an 'ugly monster' earlier."

Mr. Satan explained, "Boys his age are like that. The more they like someone, the more they tease them. It's like that makes them feel more present."

Emily was surprised. "You seem to understand this quite well. Did you treat the girls you liked this way when you were young?"
