Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 A Hairpin
Emily obediently let him pull her along, her face slightly flushed. "I look terrible, don't I?"

"No, you're not ugly at all." Mr. Satan pulled her to sit down, gently encircling her. "Emily, it's my fault. I didn't consider it properly. I shouldn't have let you face that man alone."

Emily felt a bit teary-eyed, not sure why she always became so fragile in front of him.

Just moments ago, she had been strong in Jackson's car, but once back at 2307, feeling his embrace, she couldn't help but want to cry.

"You're afraid, aren't you?" Mr. Satan gently stroked her long hair.

"Yeah," Emily nodded. "A little."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, okay?"

Emily bit her lip and nestled into his embrace. "I don't know why Nathan suddenly went crazy today. When I called him, I could still hear him arguing with Sophia. And then today he tried to force himself on me... I just don't understand. Didn't he love Sophia? How could he change so quickly?"

Mr. Satan's voice was as melancholic as ever. "Men like Nathan, perhaps they may like a woman, but they only truly love themselves."

Emily strongly agreed with this statement. "He's been spoiled since childhood, and he's especially selfish. Sophia is foolish too, marrying into the Reed family is like becoming a maid. Nathan's mother doesn't even respect women. If she has a daughter, her future won't be any better."

"Whatever she does? Emily, she no longer sees you as a sister, and you don't need to treat her like a sister either. Sophia is an adult, she chose this path herself, so she has to bear the consequences."

Emily understood this reasoning, but she felt a bit sad about it.

Sophia probably didn't expect Nathan to change his heart so quickly.

"I just hope to divorce Nathan as soon as possible now. I don't want anything else."

Mr. Satan fell silent for a moment. "If he doesn't agree to divorce voluntarily, then let's take legal action. I didn't want to do this originally, but what Nathan did today has crossed my bottom line. I can't let him live comfortably anymore."

But Emily said, "Can't we just not confront him?"

Mr. Satan wasn't too pleased. "You don't want revenge?"

"I don't want it anymore."

"... You can't bear to?"

"Of course not," Emily quickly denied. "Right now, I just want to live well, work hard, and earn money to treat my father's illness. I don't want to know whether Nathan and Sophia stay together or break up. I just want to draw a clear boundary with them."

Mr. Satan sighed softly. "Emily, how about we live in Europe in the future?"

"Huh? Isn't New York good? I still have to take care of my father..."

"The medical conditions in Europe are also very good, we can bring your father over to take care of him together."

Emily hesitated for a moment, thinking of something. "Is it because there are people in America you don't want to see, or things you don't want to face?"

"Both," Satan said. "I can only say that this is the source of all my actions. I want to take you away and live happily."

That sentence was like a thorn, piercing Emily's heart, it hurt even if she pretended it didn't.

The source of actions... it should still be related to the woman he once loved, right?

Was he afraid to see her embracing her husband? Or perhaps he didn't want to see her with a child in her arms?

Even someone as powerful as Mr. Satan would have things he couldn't have.
