Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62 Unexpected
"Oh, so you've got someone backing you up now, daring to oppose me?" Carol was angry. "But your boyfriend doesn't even dare to show his face, still wearing a mask. Could he be some kind of fugitive?"

Emily was about to say something when Mr. Satan intervened, still calm and composed. "If I were a fugitive, what do you think would happen to you for bullying my girlfriend like this?"

Carol's face instantly paled, taking a few steps back, warily watching him. "What are you planning? Let me tell you, if you dare to harm me, my son won't spare you!"

"I'm already a fugitive, what's another life on my hands? What do you think?"

As he took a step forward, Carol turned and ran back into the mansion, shouting in panic, "Son! Nathan! Call the police!"

Emily was a bit worried, "Maybe you should leave first? If she really calls the police, you'll have to take off your mask."

"Emily, are you worried about me?"

Emily lightly pushed him, "I'm talking about serious matters here."

"I'm not joking either, Emily. I really want to marry you right away."

Emily listened, just smiling lightly. She didn't feel as ecstatic as before. "Maybe... Let's wait. Wait until you've sorted out your affairs, until you've told me all the truth, then I'll consider it."

This morning's events had rung another alarm bell for her; she couldn't sink into the trap of tenderness again.

She needed to be clear-headed and rational enough.

Suddenly, a terrified scream echoed from the mansion.

"Ah—"

Both Emily and Mr. Satan heard it; Emily recognized the source of the scream first. "It's Sophia!"

Mr. Satan's face turned serious. "Let's go, check inside."

Nathan and Sophia were upstairs; Emily was practically pulled by Mr. Satan all the way up the stairs. Before they reached the door, Sophia's cries came from inside.

"It hurts... Nathan, save me... save our baby!"

Carol started screaming too, "Blood! There's blood! Hurry, save the heir of the Reed family!"

The door was flung open from inside.

Nathan rushed out, holding Sophia, and collided with Emily and Mr. Satan.

He glanced at the mask on Mr. Satan's face, then finally locked eyes with Emily. "Emily, just give me a little more time."

"What time do you need? Hurry, take her to the hospital! What if we lose the heir of our family?"

Carol urged beside him, and Nathan dared not delay further. He ran downstairs with Sophia; soon, the roar of an engine echoed from the yard as Nathan drove Sophia to the hospital.

The mansion, just noisy moments ago, became silent in an instant.

Emily gently pushed open the door, only to see Bert crouched on the ground, holding his head, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
