221 Evidence Against Emma

Emily returned to the Morgan family late in the evening, with Mr. Satan driving her back.They arrived at the doorstep, but Mr. Satan was reluctant to let her go."In the past, it was easy for us to meet. When I returned to Room 2307 at the Hilton Hotel at night, I could see you coming out of the kitchen in an apron, blushing, asking me whether to eat first or shower."Thinking about those days at the Hilton Hotel, Emily also felt they were sweet.Life was simple and happy then.She cooked for him every day, did the laundry, waited for him to come home for dinner, and they slept in each other's arms. Just thinking about those days was enough to intoxicate her.But they both carried too much baggage with their lives."I need to get justice for my mother," Emily said. "Do you have any progress on your private matters?""It will be over soon," Mr. Satan replied."Does Grandma know I'm pregnant?""She does," Mr. Satan said. "Despite staying in her room all day, she's good at getting infor

222 Chloe's Ambition

At eleven fifty in the afternoon, Emily rushed to the television studio.It was clear that this was a newly built place. Although the main structure was completed, there were still unfinished areas around, and many workers were busy nearby.There was no parking lot here, so cars had to be parked outside.Emily immediately spotted Lucas's RV. He and Amanda had already arrived.Amanda had sent her a message; the makeup rooms in this new studio were limited. Since Lucas was very popular now, he had been allocated a separate room, while several other less famous stars shared one.After asking a few workers, Emily finally found Lucas's makeup room.She was about to knock when the door swung open from the inside.Olivia rushed over and gave her a hug. "Emily, you're finally here! I've missed you!"Emily was almost out of breath from Olivia's tight embrace. Thankfully, Allen Parker walked over, grabbed Olivia by the collar, and pulled her aside like handling a chick.Allen Parker nodded at E

223 Changing Couples

"Of course!" Amanda rolled her eyes. "She knew Lucas was joining this reality show, and since Olivia, as part of his team, would be here too, chances of our boss showing up increase. So, she insisted on participating. She even sent many gifts to the show's director. Originally, another less popular female star was paired with Lucas, but the director switched her out for Chloe."As they spoke, the door to the makeup room was pushed open.Chloe walked in with a light laugh. "Amanda, I just wanted to greet Lucas. I hope we can take care of each other during the upcoming work."Neither Lucas nor Amanda had a good impression of her, especially Amanda.Having worked in the entertainment industry for many years, she had seen all sorts of people. While many female stars had their ambitions, they usually concealed them to some extent. Chloe, however, wore her ambitions openly on her sleeve.From the moment she entered, although she spoke to Amanda and Lucas, her eyes were fixed firmly on Allen

224 Meeting Janet

"Oh, I saw the girl you mentioned," Olivia said. "She's very pretty. I could tell right away she's a rich girl. She's probably here just to treat this show like a game.""I'll let you in on a secret," Amanda said. "This girl might be the boss's future sister-in-law."Emily was stunned.Allen Parker only had one brother, Jackson.Amanda continued, "This girl is engaged to Jackson, but they haven't married yet. She might have to call you 'sister-in-law' in the future."Olivia hadn't expected such a complex relationship and asked in confusion, "Who does she have to call sister-in-law?""Ahem," Allen Parker coughed lightly, interrupting Amanda. He said sternly, "The show is about to start filming. I need to go back to the company. Olivia, come with me."Olivia reacted strongly, "Why? I refuse!""If you refuse, I'll dock your pay.""Damn!""I'll dock your pay for swearing too."Olivia was furious. "Allen Parker, you're just... inhuman..."Allen Parker responded, "Mm-hmm. This isn't the fir

225 Fan Frenzy

However, the production team severely underestimated Lucas's popularity.As soon as Lucas appeared, the entire pedestrian street was flooded with fans. Some fanatics cried on the spot, sitting on the ground and shouting Lucas's name. There were even those who clashed with security, determined to get close to Lucas and speak to him in person.The scene quickly descended into chaos.Amanda watched from the bus, frowning repeatedly. "Does this director have any experience? Filming on the street with a star requires proper security measures. If this continues, the situation will become uncontrollable."Emily was also worried.Most of Lucas's fans were school-aged girls. The security guards didn't dare to push them and couldn't persuade them either. The guards were at a loss, and the intense enthusiasm of the girls was overwhelming and almost out of control."Hello? This is Amanda. Yes, yes, I'm Lucas's agent. Didn't you hire more security? ... This won't work. Lucas's safety is at risk...

226 Lucas Likes Her

But this show was different from others.Without Lucas, they couldn't shoot Chloe's parts either, meaning she had to call it a day too.Lucas turned to look out the window, disgust evident on his face. "Amanda, can I change a partner? I can't stand Chloe. Filming with her in the studio for a while was already my limit."Amanda spread her hands. "Are you going to breach the contract? Breaching it means paying triple the penalty!""So there's no way out?""There is," Amanda said. "If Chloe withdraws, everything will be solved."Lucas: "..."That was impossible.Chloe's ambition, although unknown to the fans, was clear to them.Participating in a reality show with Lucas meant huge exposure!Chloe would never withdraw voluntarily."There is one more possibility."Lucas eagerly asked, "What is it?""The director!" Amanda said while scrolling through her phone. "If he decides to drop Chloe from the show and pair you with another actress. But... no matter how annoying Chloe is, she's still a

227 Emily's True Colors

Lucas usually has a stoic face on stage or when interacting with fans. His introverted nature and serious demeanor around unfamiliar people and environments often lead fans to believe he's melancholic.However, whenever Emily shows up, Lucas's expression relaxes considerably, and he even smiles.Fans interpret this as "His smile is only for her."When Emily heard this, she got goosebumps from the awkwardness.Why do fans have such vivid imaginations?She couldn't comprehend the thoughts of his fans.Olivia, on the other hand, totally understood."Emily, did you know? After seeing photos and videos of you with Lucas, I totally ship you two!""What does 'ship' mean?""It means 'couple,' or it can be understood as a romantic match!"Emily's face was full of rejection: "You better throw that idea as far away as possible.""Don't be like that," Olivia laughed foolishly while holding her phone. "Let me tell you, I used to be a fan of Lucas and thought no woman on earth was good enough for h

229 Coming Home for Dinner

By the time Emily went to see Allen Parker, the statement denying the relationship had already been released.The statement was clear, directly denying any relationship between Lucas and Emily.“The makeup artist Emily is married and pregnant. She and Lucas are just colleagues. Please do not speculate.”Reading the last line of the statement, Emily finally felt relieved.Allen Parker, tapping the table with a light chuckle, said, “There's nothing to worry about anymore. I've already instructed the media, and those rumors will be removed soon. Lucas is young and didn't consider the consequences of his actions, but I'll remind him.”Feeling at ease, Emily sighed, “Actually, Amanda wanted to come and get me, but there were too many people, and she couldn't get through. Given the urgency, Lucas came over himself, so we can’t blame him. Anyway, thank you, boss.”“You don't need to thank me. For Mr. Satan, I will always protect you.”Emily said, “Boss, I want to resign.”Allen Parker wasn’t

230 Hostility

Elderly people often have a deep fondness for children. Carol, Emily’s former mother-in-law, was one such person, and Meggie is another. However, there is a significant difference between them.Carol’s longing for a grandson stemmed primarily from her focus on an heir. The Reed family had only one son, Nathan, and Carol wanted him to marry quickly and preferably have a son. To her, a daughter-in-law was merely a means to produce children.Meggie, on the other hand, was different. Emily could tell she genuinely loved Mr. Satan. Because of this affection, Meggie especially hoped he would find a wife and have children. In terms of motivation, Meggie was undoubtedly more respectable.Emily loved being around Meggie. Every time she saw her, she felt a sense of home, something she had never experienced in over twenty years.Meggie said to her, “Emily, you should eat more. Our chef is particularly good at making braised bamboo shoots. Give it a try.”Emily quickly smiled and thanked her, “Su
