Sophia deliberately walked slowly. With the excuse of having sprained her foot just now, it was natural for her to pretend to be in pain. Nathan had no choice but to accompany her.Meanwhile, Emily was eager to take this opportunity to slip away. Nathan was now too dangerous for her.Seeing that everyone around had left, Herry could only "reluctantly" follow Emily. He grumbled, "Hey, freak! I'm talking to you! Can you drive a go-kart?"Emily chuckled, "Yes."Herry glared at her and ran straight to the go-kart area, saying as he ran, "Today, I'm going to knock you out of the track!"Emily said nothing and quickly followed him out of this dangerous place.Fortunately, the go-kart area was far from the resting area.Herry rushed in directly and sat on the first kart, with several others quickly passing by. The staff hurried over, "Hi, kid, where are your parents? Do you know it's dangerous to just run in like that?"Herry ignored them, "What's so dangerous about it? I want to play this."
"I don't care; I don't rely on selling cars for my salary. But what about you? Do you still want to play?"Herry clenched his teeth tightly, "...I'm sorry.""Louder.""I'm sorry!!! I apologized, can we call it even?""I didn't hear sincerity," Emily said, "When you do something wrong, you should apologize. You show no sign of remorse. Why should I accept it?"Herry pointed at her, "You're going too far."Emily nodded, turned around, and said, "Alright, then I'll leave, do as you wish.""Wait!" Herry caught up and grabbed her, "Why are women so troublesome? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you a freak. I'll call you a beautiful lady from now on, okay? Is that sincere enough?"Emily stopped in her tracks, "Hmm, that's not bad this time.""Then hurry up and sign! Don't delay."Emily said, "And what about that girl? What did you say to her just now?"The female staff member, noticing Emily's attention had turned to her, waved her hands repeatedly, "It's okay, I'm fine, no need to apolog
After hanging up the phone, Emily still hadn't quite recovered her senses.Mr. Satan's final words...Even though he hadn't said anything particularly romantic, it was enough to keep her blushing for a while."Hey, you... Beauty, what are you thinking about? Why are you smiling for so long?"Herry parked the go-kart by the side, and the staff were helping him undo his safety harness and helmet.Emily snapped back, "Are you done playing?""Once is enough. There are so many rides here, playing the same one over and over gets boring!" Herry said as his harness was being released. He jumped straight off the go-kart, startling the female staff member into a gasp.Emily was used to his style by now. Herry had mellowed out considerably. He listened to Emily now; after all, he needed her signature for whatever ride he wanted to play next."Beauty, how about we try the swinging hammer? It's exhilarating!"Emily's face showed refusal. "You go ahead; I'll wait here.""What fun is it if I go alon
Herry turned around cautiously and instantly screamed, "Ghost!!!"They saw a "female ghost" standing behind them in a white outfit with long hair covering her face, which couldn't be seen clearly.Slowly, she lifted her head, her neck twisting, revealing a pale face with large eyes and blood trickling down.She reached out her hands and started approaching Emily and Herry."Get away! Get away! Don't come to catch me! Catch her!"Herry was so scared that he lost his senses and pushed Emily towards the ghost before fleeing himself.Still reeling from immense terror, Emily was forcefully propelled forward by a strong push and was about to fall onto the "female ghost.""Hey, miss, are you okay?"The "female ghost" caught her. Worried that Emily was truly frightened, she quickly helped her sit down and explained softly, "Don't be afraid. There's a room next to this passage, and I changed into this outfit inside the room and stood behind you..."Several minutes passed before Emily regained
"Emily?"The sudden voice behind her sent shivers down Emily's spine.It was a man.Nathan emerged from the shadows. Thankfully, the wall lights illuminated his silhouette and Emily wasn't scared.However, despite this, she couldn't read his expression clearly, and the green tint of the wall lights made Nathan appear even more eerie and sinister.Emily instinctively grasped the wall beside her, pressing her back against it for support."What are you doing here?" she asked.As she spoke, Emily realized something.The "female ghost" had mentioned a young couple entering before her, and now she encountered Nathan, which meant Sophia must be here too.Nathan took a step forward. "Don't be afraid. If you're scared, you can hold onto me."With that, he extended his hand, offering a silent invitation.Emily remained on high alert, not letting her guard down for a moment. Now, backed into a corner, facing what seemed like an entire hellish setting, her field of view widened, allowing her to b
"Sophia! Can you please be more rational? Look at yourself now! You're acting like a shrew!""It's all because of this wretched woman, Emily!" Sophia sneered coldly, her teeth clenched, as if she wanted to sink her teeth into Emily's flesh. "If it weren't for her, we would be happily married!"Emily stood by silently, listening to their conversation.But Sophia clearly wasn't going to let her off easily. She continued her tirade, "She's a woman without a university degree. She's only fit for jobs like cleaning or being a maid. What right does she have to be Mrs. Reed?"Emily grew angry, "Sophia, I didn't use any dirty tricks to become Mrs. Reed. You know why I got married. It was Nathan's grandfather's dying wish. I never had any intention of gaining anything from this marriage. I merely agreed to fulfill an old man's last request.""You're talking nonsense! Don't paint yourself as some noble figure! Nathan's grandfather is dead, and No one can prove your story! You're quite cunning!
Nathan was shocked, his expression full of doubt. "Sophia, is... is what Emily said true?"Sophia gritted her teeth angrily. "No! Emily, what evidence do you have that I was someone's mistress?""I have plenty of evidence," Emily crossed her arms, looking at her coldly. "When you first came to this city, you used my credit card for a period of time. I know all your spending records. You visited an obstetrician-gynecologist once, and the examination was for pregnancy!"Sophia's face turned pale instantly.She was flustered, wanting to explain, but this situation caught her off guard. She had overlooked this. When she first came to this city, she didn't have money and indeed used Emily's credit card. She naturally knew her bills...Seeing Sophia's reaction, Nathan's heart tightened. "Sophia, tell me the truth."Sophia's eyes wandered, biting her lip. "I... I was coerced, yes, I was forced! Nathan, please believe me! It was that man who forced me! Later, I had the pregnancy terminated, a
Sophia shouted, "You've done something dirty yourself, admit it! Why should I regret anything?"Emily nodded, glancing at Nathan.Her gaze made Nathan uneasy. "Is this about me?""Yes," Emily nodded. "Your grandfather arranged for us to marry to protect you and the Reed family.""Hah!" Sophia sneered. "Don't make yourself out to be so noble. You're just a poor girl. What can you do to protect the Reed family?"Emily remained unfazed, just looking at her quietly."The Reed family really does need me," Emily said. "Even though I'm a poor girl, I can keep a secret.""What secret?"Nathan asked. After four years of marriage with Emily, he had no idea there was still a secret between them.However, Emily's current expression gave him a bad feeling."Nathan has oligozoospermia.""What?!""What..."Nathan and Sophia both stood frozen in place. One surprised, the other bewildered, their expressions grim.Emily sighed and continued, "If you insist on forcing me to reveal the truth, then I will
