Chapter 13When Nancy heard that, her heart sank. Although she knew that William was a scoundrel, she did not expect that he would go back on his words so fast.Kev had a bad premonition when he heard that. Although he had somehow expected William to behave like that, he did not want to get Emmy in any kind of trouble.He looked at Emmy’s beautiful face, and after a while, he gathered the courage to ask, “Summer, what should we do now?”Emmy did not say anything to Kev. She only pushed him behind her and stood in front of William in a defiant posture.Raising her chin slightly, she asked William in an almost mocking tone, “William, Sir, can’t you handle a little loss?”When William heard that, he smirked as he laughed in disdain. He looked at Emmy stated, “Young girl, while I was making a name for myself as the king of car racing, you were still sucking on your mother’s breast. So, your intimidation won’t work on me. Just spend the night with me, and you will get much more than just m
Chapter 14When Emmy saw Vince, she felt tears gather in her eyes. Although she did not like the man as much, she was happy that he had come.But wait, it was not like Vince liked her. What if he stood by and watched her get humiliated, after all, it was none of his business.Vince stopped in his tracks; his gaze focused on Emmy. When he saw William’s fat holding Emmy, anger rose in his heart and his whole aura changed.He instantly raised his hand and his men instantly got the signal. Dressed in black suits with black shades covering half their faces, you could just tell from their walking style that they were not people you could mess with.When William saw the scene unfolding right in front of him, he was so shocked that his jaws almost dropped to the ground.His men, who were about to teach Emmy a lesson had their knees go weak when they felt the dangerous aura coming from Vince’s men.They could even feel death approaching.William did not know why, of all the people, it was Vinc
Chapter 15Vince gave out a sinister smile. Seeing him, William felt that something was not right. An ominous feeling overwhelmed him just by looking at Vince’s smiling face.Still holding William in his hands like he was a punching bag, Vince formed a fist and threw a punch in William’s face.William’s face became numb all of a sudden as his mouth was filled with blood.Before he could spit out the blood and the many teeth in his mouth, another punch landed on the other side of the face.Vince was already in his maniac and he was not showing any mercy. Every time an image of William holding Emmy’s hand appeared in his mind, he punched even harder.After a series of punches and finally feeling that he had vented his anger, Vince left William in a devastated state. He was so injured that he could not tell black from white.William was thrown on the ground with a thud, and Vince did not even look at him. His bodyguards handed him a warm, white towel and he elegantly wiped his hands, his
Chapter 16Was she now enunciating that it was his fault, that was why she did not get her one million?But after hearing her explanation, the anger that he had been feeling in his heart quietened down a bit.He had no idea that his wife had been leading such a difficult life. Despite everything, she had still stayed faithful to him for the last three years.That meant that she was not someone who could compromise her dignity just for anything.Vince took his wallet, which had been lying quietly on the bedside table, and removed a credit card. He went over to Emmy and handed it to her.He spoke as he stared at Emmy, “You know that car racing is just like any other gambling game. There is winning and losing. Aren’t you afraid that you are putting yourself in jeopardy with your already very difficult situation?”When talking about car racing, Emmy became excited. Her eyes lit up as she happily responded to Vince, “Ha ha ha, you may not know this, but I have never lost even a single match
Chapter 17Emmy clutched the card, and although she was feeling conflicted, she really needed the money. And since this man was willing to throw it at her, then she was going to accept it. She would think about the consequences later.Seeing that she had finally accepted the credit card, Vince’s mood lightened a bit. He let go of her hand and prepared himself to return to bed.Emmy watched as he walked back. She looked at the card and having remembered something, she asked, “What is the password for the card? You haven’t told me.”When Vince heard that, he did not turn around as he answered, “Your sister’s birthday date.”Emmy, “…”This was so humiliating. Couldn’t he be any nicer?She was forced to take the card, and the password turned out to be her sister’s birthday.It was only natural that Vince would consider Lynn in everything he did, even putting her date of birth as his password. And she was just a shadow, a mere replacement, so why was she feeling as if there was a lump stuck
Chapter 18Lynn had gone out of the city for a performance and they only arrived in the city late into the night.She had a magazine shoot scheduled in two days, and since it is a magazine that she has been admiring for a long time, she wanted to be in her best condition. She was planning to use the two days to get enough rest, but they had not expected to wake up to such shocking news.They received a call from the magazine editors saying that the shoot has been cancelled, and some other companies called up to cancel their contracts with Lynn.When they finally realized that something was not right, it was already too late.When Lynn saw the trending topic on social media, her face paled as anger filled her heart.She threw away the phone as she cursed, “This bitch, is she planning on ruining me?”Lynn’s manager pondered for a while before she looked at Lynn and spoke, “Cursing will not get you anywhere. We need to think of a solution.”“Well…”“Think about what I had previously told
Chapter 19Lynn twirled the car keys in her hands as she spoke, “Of course, my dear sister.”“Your car racing scandal has really impacted my career in a big way, I hope you are already aware of how much trouble you have caused me. So, I want you to help me salvage the situation before things get out of hand.”Emmy looked on and asked, “What do you want me to do?”“I want us to do a live broadcast. You will clarify to everyone that you are my twin sister, and you are the one involved in car racing gambling and not me. After that, I will go to Vince’s mansion and be his wife, while you get lost forever from my life together with your useless father.”When Emmy heard that, her eyes lit up hopefully. Did that mean that she was finally going to see her dad?Oh, she was so happy that her heart skipped a few beats.But wait, that meant she would no longer be associated with Vince.For the past three years, this was the day she had been dreaming about the most. She had countless times imagine
Chapter 20Just as Emmy was about to lose it, a phone vibration brought her back to reality.Emmy had not yet picked up the things that Lynn had thrown on the floor, so they both looked down when they heard the phone ringing.Vince’s name flashed across the screen, catching both ladies off guard.Emmy and Lynn bent down almost at the same time to take the phone. Emmy was the first to reach the phone but before she could press the answer button, Lynn snatched the phone away from her hands.Holding the phone, Lynn looked at Emmy who was looking at her with a dumbfounded expression, smiled at her smugly before she answered the call.In a gentle voice that she had never used before, she spoke through the phone, “Hello.”Vince’s deep voice came through the speaker, “Should I come for you, or are you coming down on your own?”Lynn was stunned when she heard that. Something dawned on her as she rushed to the window facing the gate.When she looked down, she saw Vince standing outside, his bo
Chapter 162The moment the airplane touched the grounds of City A, Emmy felt that she had finally returned to the world of the living.The past few days had been a rollercoaster of emotions for her, and she was exhausted.She had won the competition, thus making her way into the entertainment industry. Her father was still alive, but unfortunately, he did not remember her. He even thought that she was a villain's daughter.“What are you thinking about?” Vince's voice sounded. His voice was the most beautiful thing that Emmy would wish to listen to every day.“I don’t know how, but I want everything that I have experienced for the past few days to just go away. I want things to go back to how it was.”“Come, let us go home. I will help you relieve your stress.”“Really? What will you do?”“You will know when we reach home, okay?”Although the ride home was filled with silence, it was peaceful. Emmy rested her head on Vince’s shoulder, and she soon dozed off.“Tom, slow down the car.”“T
Chapter 161When Emmy left the study room, she did not see Vince around. She did not want to linger around; she immediately headed downstairs.Seeing her come down, Lynn approached her. She had wanted to go and eavesdrop on their conversation, but with Vince standing at the door like knight, she did not dare.“Emmy, have you finished telling your side of the story?”Emmy looked at her without saying anything. Her reaction was enough to tell Lynn that she had failed.“So, did Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma believe you?”“Lynn, when the time comes, don’t say that I did not warn you. Just pray hard that dad does not regain his memories in this lifetime, or else…”“Or else what, Emmy?”“Nothing. Enjoy while it lasts.”Lynn wanted to say something, but Emmy had already left. She gritted her teeth as her eyes turned cold. There was no way she was going to allow Leo to regain her memories. It would be great if he died soon.“Who are you planning on killing?”A deep voice sounded, which made Lynn’s
Chapter 160A servant came over and took Vince and Emmy upstairs. “They are waiting for you in the study room. This way, please.”Emmy suddenly became nervous. What if her father refused to listen to her and chased her away? What would she do?With so many thoughts swirling in her mind, Emmy found herself outside the study room.“Honey, can you wait for me outside? I…”“It is okay, I understand.” Vince nodded as he touched Emmy’s hair. He had no intentions of going inside, anyway.“Thank you.”“I am right here; don’t be afraid.:The moment Emmy entered the study room, she felt stifled by the somber mood.Old Master Roberts was sitting on his chair while Leo was in his wheelchair. As for Old Mrs. Roberts, she was sitting on the leather sofa in the study room, her gaze glued to Emmy.Emmy looked at them and respectfully bowed her head. After what had happened earlier, she had no idea how to face her dad.Old Master Roberts looked at her and asked in a cold voice, “What are you doing here
Chapter 159As the celebration was going on inside, a sleek Lamborghini quietly parked outside the gates of the Roberts family.Emmy had calmed down a lot, and even the tears on her face had dried up.“Darling, why are you not driving inside?” Emmy asked when she saw that Vince had stopped all of a sudden.Vince took a deep breath before he drove towards the gate. Although he dreaded this place, and it was the last place he would ever want to come, for the sake of his wife’s peace of mind, he had to drive through the gates.They were stopped at the gate, but after hearing Vince’s identity, the security quickly let them in.The Roberts family elders and Leo were also informed of their arrival, and they quickly gathered in the study room.“Leo, you said that you had met Emmy earlier. What exactly did she say?”“Nothing much, Mom. I don’t know, but the moment I saw her, I felt a jolt in my heart, something that I did not feel the day I saw Lynn.”“Of course, it is normal for you to feel
Chapter 158Outside the hotel…Emmy stood before her father, feeling nervous.“Dad, is that really you? I have been looking for you all over. I thought that I lost you.”Thinking about everything that Emmy had done to him, Leo looked at her coldly, “Who are you calling dad? Emmy, when will you stop being pretentious?”Emmy’s eyes widened in shock. She had not expected such a response from her father. “Dad, what are you talking about? I am your dearest daughter, Emmy. Don’t you remember me?”“It is true that I don’t remember. But I know all the despicable things you did to me. You can drop your innocent act, it is very disgusting.”Emmy cried. She could not believe her ears. Was this the same Leo with whom they had been through a lot together? Was he the same father who had always patted her back and told her to never give up in life, that good things took time?Vince had gone to the car. He returned and saw Emmy crying, and his face instantly turned cold.“Honey, what happened?”Emmy
Chapter 157Vince was Emmy’s number one fan. The moment she pressed the last key, he started to clap hard as he happily cheered.His claps brought everyone back to their senses, and there was thunderous applause all over the room.Even Leo clapped hard as a faint smile appeared on his withered face. He did not want to be told who Emmy’s teacher was. She had really mastered everything. She was even on a higher level than he was when he was at her age.Lynn almost beat her lips off. She had been excited when Emmy had started to play the piano. She even thought that Emmy was handing the victory over to her. She had not expected this turn of events.Emmy was a witch! Now, even her dad was clapping for her.He was even smiling, and she had not seen him smile for her after she was done playing.She clenched her hands tightly, her long nails digging into her scalp that it almost bled.She had planned on using the fact that Emmy copied her song to disqualify from the playing the duet. She had
Chapter 156The moment Leo saw Emmy, he felt a strange emotion in his heart that he had never felt the day he saw Lynn.It was not hatred nor dislike. It was the kind of emotion a father would feel towards his child after not seeing her for a long time.Even after everything that Emmy had done to him, why did his heart palpitate when he saw her, and why did he not have negative feelings about her?Could Lynn have been mistaken?Anyway, since she dared bully his daughter, he was going to teach her a lesson. He had vowed to protect Lynn, and he was not going to sit still and watch her be bullied.The competition began on a high note. Since today was the final day, everyone was giving their best shot.The first four participants did their best, and they received a lot of compliments from the judges. Their skills had also improved by leaps and bounds over the past few days.As always, Lynn was arranged to perform before Emmy. When it was her turn, she stood up and gracefully walked to the
Chapter 155At the competition venue, since today was the final, the organizers had invited a few influential people from the entertainment industry.When they heard that Leo Roberts would be attending, everyone revealed shocked expressions.Leo Roberts was not just another household name. He had once been an icon in the music industry, but he disappeared without a trace when his career was at its peak.But now that he had resurfaced, those who never had a chance to meet him were filled with awe.“Where has Leo been all these years?”“I heard that he only recently returned to the Roberts family. He got into an accident and lost his memories of more than twenty years. He had just regained consciousness a few days ago.”“That is bad. No wonder he just vanished without a trace.”“He was a genius back then, and a lot of senior people still remember him. I heard that Lynn is his daughter, and he is especially coming to support her.”“That was why she had improved leaps and bounds since the
Chapter 154Emmy woke up early in the morning, feeling refreshed. After she returned last night, she did not practice. She showered, ate her dinner peacefully, and retired to bed without touching the piano.She had realized that Lynn must have found their dad, but she could not understand the tricks Lynn had used to make their dad accept her.What pained her the most was the fact that her dad had not even reached out to her even once.Or maybe Lynn was blackmailing him again.But regardless of the reason, she had to make sure that her dad came out of hiding today, and that would happen only if she wins today’s competition.“Feeling good?” Vince asked as he opened his eyes to look at Emmy.“Yes. I had a good sleep, and I feel refreshed.”“Are you ready for the day?”“Yes.”“My people have been gathering information, and by the end of the day, we will know what exactly is going on with your father.”Emmy smiled as she hugged Vince. She smooched him on the lips before she spoke in a spoi
