Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed
Chapter 1 She Can’t Get Pregnant
“Madam, please don’t be too discouraged. Your situation is not too serious. The ability to conceive is closely related to one’s emotional state. Please keep a positive attitude and cooperate with the treatment. I believe you will have a healthy baby.”
It was the hottest season in LA, but Emily Carter, just out of the hospital, felt like she was enveloped in a chill as if a cold breeze had swept over her, causing her body to uncontrollably shiver.
Her Mother–in–law, Carol, stood at the hospital entrance, grabbed Ely’s hand as soon as she saw her, and snatched the health report from her, murmuring incessantly, “Let me see. How can some he be married for so many years without having a child?”
Emily instinctively tried to snatch the report back.
But Carol pushed her away, disregarding Emily’s pale face, and operect the report right there on the street.
Emily staggered back, almost falling. The recent stress had taken a 1l on her, and she realized that she hadn’t drunk water for a long time. The scorching summer sun made her feel dizzy for a moment.
Carol continued muttering, but Emily couldn’t hear her for a moment
“Look! This is your problem! You can’t conceive at all, Carol shouted pulling Emily back from her dizziness.
“L.. Emily felt too weak to argue with her anymore. She just wanted to go home.
Carol frowned at the words “blocked fallopian tubes on the report, er face darkening as if she had just returned from hell.
“What else do you have to say? The hospital diagnosis gives you less than a 20% chance of getting pregnant!” Carol’s anger grew stronger.
Emily shook her head, trying to clear her mind. She knew Carol had rlways disliked her because she had been married to Nathan for four years without getting pregnant. No, Carol had disliked her from the first day she married Nathan.
People passing by heard Carol’s voice and looked at them. Emily felt like a clown.
Nathan Reed was the only heir of the famous Reed family in LA. Emily understood Carol’s desire for a boy to inherit the family fortune, and since their marriage wasn’t based on love, she had been silently enduring it.
“Carol,” Emily tried to remain patient, “let’s go home first.”
“That’s the Reed family’s mansion, not your home. Get it straight! You’re not worthy!”
Emily frowned. “Regardless, Nathan and I are legally married. You cant change that fact…”
“I can’t change it? You’d better divorce Nathan right away! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. Let me tell you, you won’t Take anything from our family’s fortune!”
More and more people gathered around, and the scorching weather and sharp looks around made her increasingly mbarrassed.
Emily took a deep breath, feeling hopeless and helpless.
If she had known it would be like this, perhaps she wouldn’t have agreed to marry Nathan in the first place.
She was just an ordinary girl, originally with no chance of meeting billionaire like Nathan. But Emily’s grandfather and Nathan’s grandfather had been friends, and her grandfather had even saved Nathan’s grandfather. Later, Emily’s family declined, and Emily could only live in the slums. To take care of poor Eqpily, Nathan’s grandfather asked Nathan to marry her before he died.

Chapter 1 She Can’t Get Pregnant
Nathan was initially unwillings Which eligible bachelor would marry an ordinary girl like Emily? But seeing his grandfather weak in the hospital, he agreed.
This year marked their fourth year of marriage. In these four years, Nathan hadn’t bullied her, but he hadn’t been very enthusiastic either. Their relationship was only slightly better than that of strangers, and it couldn’t even be considered friendship. Nathan’s circle of friends was completely different from hers, and she didn’t pect Nathan to understand her or to resist Carol for her. She
just didn’t expect that this marriage would end up in such a deadlock
“Carol, our marriage was decided by our grandfathers…”
“He’s dead, isn’t he? Emily, do you think you can be Mrs. Reed forever?”
Carol’s tone grew louder. Just as Emily thought she was about to sta another round of rebuke, Carol suddenly put on a smiling face and pointed to a couple embracing not far away, saying to her, “See that? Someone is giving birth to an heir for our family. I suggest you give up the position of Mrs. Reed quickly, Someone else is mare suitable for it than you.”
Following Carol’s gesture, Emily’s g gaze fell on her husband Nathan, who was tenderly holding a pregnant woman with a slightly protruding belly in his arms, lowering his head affectionately. The man whispered something in his ear, and Nathan smiled gently, kissing her forehead.
She had never seen Nathan smile so tenderly at herself.
Her gazo fell on the pregnant woman in Nathan’s arms, and a strange sense of familiarity swept over her.
The pregnant woman was no
woman was no stranger; it was her cousin, Sophia
Shock, anger, disbelief. Multiple emotions flooded her mind, and Emily almost couldn’t believe her eyes.
Sophia noticed her gaze, and she slowly walked to Emily, stroking her belly and said happily, “Emily, my cousin, I’m pregnant with Nathan’s child. We just had a check–up, and the doctor said the baby is very healthy, Guess if it’s a boy or a girl?”
Emily looked at her already pregnant belly, trembling, unable to speck complete words. “How could you… He’s your brother–in–law! How could you do this to me? How could you seduce your own brother–in–law?”
Emily Instinctively raised her hand to slap her, but her hand was grabbed in mid–air.
Nathan, with a stern face, seized her hand and pushed her away forcefully. Stepping forward, he shielded Sophia behind him and said in a low voice, “Emily, you’ve seen it. We’re getting divorced.”
Emily closed her eyes, overwhelmed with exhaustion and powerlessness. “When did you two get together? As your wife, I still have the right to know.”
“You dare to ask? Let me tell you, Emily, you have no right to interfere in our family’s affairs, let alone Nathan! Carol was extremely arrogant at this moment.
Emily felt suffocated, and she growled lowly, “I am Nathan’s wife. My husband cheated, and–thave the right to know, don’t I?”
“You, with your background living in the slums, dare to think you can be the wife of the Reed family? Nathan’s grandfather was confused, but I am not!”
More and more people gathered around, as if watching a real–life drama show.
She never imagined that one day she would be the protagonist of such a farce.
Sophia looked guilty, leaning softly against Nathan’s chest, saying softly, “Carol, don’t blame Emily. It’s my fault. I. I just love
Nathan so much.”

“Sophia, I’ve always taken care of you. Since you came to this city topttend university, I’ve treated you like family! I helped you get into Nathan’s company.” Emily couldn’t control her tears anymore. How could you do this to me?”
“Emily,” Nathan spoke up, stepping forward and shielding Sophia behind him with a firm stance, “Sophia is now my woman. If you’re angry, you can talk to me about it.”
Angry?
What anger could she have?
For four years, she had endured all the grievances alone, turning all her anger into pleasing. She had been trying hard to build a good relationship with Nathan and Carol, even treating the maid well. What more could she say now!
At first, she was excited to marry
rry Nathan. She likes him. She wanted to be a good wife, take care of her husband, and have a cute child. What was wrong with that?
