Chapter 123

Jonathan immediately lowered his head and lightly pushed Nina's shoulder. When Nina looked at him, he raised his eyebrows and winked at her, "Emmy makes a good point. You haven't cared about her at all for the past ten years. If you still want her, you should give her something in return."

Nina really didn't want to give Emmy anything. She thought that if she could possess Lynn's engagement gifts, she could stand tall in the Sharma Family. But now, Emmy wanted more than just all the engagement gifts. How could Nina willingly agree to that?

But Jonathan's threatening gaze was obviously meant to make her agree, or else, the consequences would be dire.

She knew that if she didn't agree to Emmy's demands today, Jonathan would probably kick her out just like he did Lynn when they got back home.

But she still wanted to be Mrs. Sharma.

Nina gritted her teeth and after thinking about it, she nodded reluctantly. But the pain in her heart could not be compared to the pain on her swo

    Chapter 124Jonathan's face instantly darkened. "Emmy asked from her mother. Do you see me putting on dresses and high heels? I will not give you even a penny.""What?" Nina was stunned.Furious, she let go of Jonathan's hand and trembled, "Where can I get so much money in such a short period?"Jonathan looked at her and sneered, "During these years in the Sharma Family, I've treated you well. Five million is nothing to you.""But that's..."Jonathan interrupted her harshly, "Nina, don't you understand why Emmy is asking you for five million?"Suppressing her anger, Nina asked with a grim expression, "Why? What gives her the right?"It seemed that she didn't know!Jonathan felt that Nina was incredibly foolish in certain matters!"Emmy is asking you for five million because she doesn't want you to support Lynn anymore. Don't you know how much Emmy hates Lynn? Even though Lynn has been driven out of the Sharma Family, we all know what you have been doing in secret. Don't treat everyone

    Chapter 125Sheila did not wait for her to finish talking before she directly hung up the call.Looking at her darkened phone screen, Lynn bit her lip helplessly. She had to make sure that she survived the coming week. She was also glad that the company was willing to take her back.The night of the following day, Nina came back to Vince's villa, holding a card with five million in it."Emmy; here is the five million that you requested, and the PIN number is your birthday. Also, these are the engagement gifts that the Young family had given to their daughter-in-law, please take a look."As Nina spoke, she pushed the card and the folder toward Emmy.Emmy's beautiful face showed a satisfied smile, "There is no need. You're my mother and I trust you completely!"Nina's mouth twitched in annoyance. She would be a fool if she believed a word coming out of Emmy’s mouth.She only said so because she knew that no one dared to play any tricks under Vince's nose.Unless they were tired of their

    Chapter 126Even after announcing to the whole world that Emmy was his wife, she was yet to give Vince the green light. Vince had been trying every trick in the book to make Emmy admit that she was Mrs. Young, his wife.Hearing him, Emmy gave him a scornful look, "If I don't see what's in them, how can I know if those things can move me and make me willingly become Mrs. Young?"Vince was slightly stunned; she had not expected Emmy to say something like that.He furrowed his brows suspiciously, a glimmer of doubt flashing in his eyes, "Emmy, I thought you said that you didn't care about money?""Who said I don't care?”Emmy snorted, looking at Vince as if he were dumb, "If it's someone I don't like, even if they offer me tons of millions, I won't even look at them. But if it's someone I like, I naturally want to know how much they like me."She paused for a moment and spoke confidently, "If my man earns one million in a month and gives me ten thousand as pocket money, I would feel like

    Chapter 127“If you insist…”Emmy suddenly felt like she had just won the highest jackpot in history. She looked at Vince and said confidently, "Then starting from next month, you have to give it to me. But let's make one thing clear, once you give me that money, it's mine. I can spend it however I want. Even if I use it all up, you can't get angry.""Why would I get angry?" Vince chuckled at her cute expression, "Shouldn't men give the money they earn to women?”“If you can spend it all every month, then I will have the motivation to work harder and earn more to support you."Emmy rolled her eyes and almost fainted again.So, it turned out that Vince was not putting in all his efforts to make money."Well... Um... Let's leave it like this."Emmy was so excited that she stammered. She quickly got up from Vince's legs and bent down to grab the bank card and folder on the coffee table.This time, Vince didn't stop her. He watched her attentively look through the contents of the folder a

    Chapter 128Having said that, with a reddened face, Emmy grabbed the folder and ran upstairs at lightning speed.Vince stared at her vanishing figure and shook his head not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He really had gotten himself an adorable wife.Emmy was at the critical stage of working on her final thesis and she would stay up late every night. And since she was afraid that might disturb Vince, she had been sleeping alone in the guest room for the past few days.Emmy entered the guest room and closed the door with a bang before she leaned against it. The blush on her face deepened when she thought about what had just happened."Oh, my goodness, what have I just done? Would Vince think that I am a lustful person? Why couldn’t I control myself?”Emmy covered her flushed cheeks and pouted in frustration, "It's all Vince's fault! Why does he have to be so handsome? It makes my heart race like crazy.”“I am so embarrassed! How am I going to face Vince from now on?"Emmy took deep b

    Chapter 129A week passed by in a flash, but to Lynn, it was the longest week of her life.Sheila arrived at the company, and just as she was about to proceed to her office, she was stopped by Lynn rushing out from the side, "Sheila, Sheila..."Lynn urgently grabbed Sheila's hand; her eyes gleaming with eagerness, "Please, Sheila, help me. I know you can. Even though my reputation isn't great right now, I can still turn things around as long as you are willing to help." Sheila looked at her for a few seconds before she was able to recognize her.In the past, Lynn was all glamorous, wearing clothes worth hundreds of thousands. But looking at her now, the clothes she was wearing could not even amount to one thousand.And she wasn't wearing any makeup. Her natural face wasn’t that beautiful. She looked nothing more than an ordinary vendor.Sheila shook her head in disappointment. She did not even have the heart to compare her to Emmy. It would be demeaning to Emmy.Emmy was used to a po

    Chapter 130Emmy glanced at Lynn and then at Sheila. After thinking about it, she reluctantly said, "No, Sheila. Lynn is the youngest pianist in the country. If I were to play a song for her, I would demean her."Lynn proudly lifted her chin upon hearing Emmy, "At least you know your place."But before she could finish feeling proud, Emmy suddenly changed her tone and looked at her provocatively, "But if we're talking about a competition with a prize, I'm willing to compete with her. That way, she wouldn’t feel like I am looking down on her.""What?"Lynn's eyes widened in disbelief and she pointed at her nose, "You want to compete with me?"Emmy raised an eyebrow, her rosy lips curling lightly, "Are you scared?""Haha..."Lynn laughed as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, "Me? Scared? How dare you say I'm scared?"She suddenly pointed at Emmy, her face distorted with laughter, "How ridiculous! I am the youngest pianist in the country. And what are you? You're just a cou

    Chapter 131"But does it really matter?" The person next to them smiled and spoke, "Even if Lynn is not in her best form, she won't lose.”One of the people who had bet on Emmy looked at the person speaking and asked, “How sure are you?”“Don’t actually tell me that you bet on Emmy? Oh, my goodness, are you crazy?”“Haven’t you seen Emmy’s information online? She grew up in poverty before marrying Master Young. Learning the piano is so expensive. Her family couldn't afford it."Another one added, "Oh yeah, she studied a medical course in college. Maybe she's great at treating patients, but compared to Lynn in piano, she will definitely lose miserably."The two people who had bet on Emmy snorted without saying anything. Although they knew that the probability of Emmy winning was very low, they still liked the excitement that came with it.Those who had bet on Lynn looked at Sheila with sorry gazes. They were certain that they were going to milk her dry for sure.Seems like today they w

    Chapter 189Emmy and Vince were strolling on the beach when Vince suddenly stripped and fell down. Emmy quickly went to help him up, but Vince changed the position, and he suddenly knelt on one knee.Emmy was surprised, and she was about to support him when a beautiful ring appeared in her line of sight out of nowhere.Her mind blanked as she looked at Vince, her eyes widened, “What are you doing?”“Emmy, I have been to almost every part of this world. I have interacted with royalties and ordinary people alike. I have seen many beautiful ladies, but you, my dear, you are different. The moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew that I wanted you for life.”“You are beautiful, you are talented, you are kind, you love with your whole heart, how could I not want to spend the rest of my life with you? I never for once searched for love, but you made me effortlessly love you.”“I hear people saying that finding true love in this complicated world is just an illusion, but I found true love in you

    Chapter 188Daniel was excited when the Roberts finally called him. He even took his father along.“Father, we are finally going to become in-laws with the Roberts family. I am so excited that I can’t wait.”“Son, you have done a good job. I am so proud of you.”…At the Roberts family…Lynn had been locked in her room for the past two days. No matter what she did, she was not allowed to leave the mansion. Her phone had also been confiscated, and she could not call anyone for help.Although she was being provided with food and everything she needed, she had become haggard due to stress. Her father had not come to visit her even once, and she was very tense.Lynn finally heaved a sigh of relief when the servants came to call her, “Lynn, the Second Master wants to see you. Quickly freshen up and head to the living room.”Lynn was excited. Finally, she was getting out of this room. She was going to complain to her father just how inhumane she had been treated for the past few days.Lynn

    Chapter 187Old Mrs. Roberts was almost in tears as she looked at her son, “My dear son, are you okay?”Leo looked at his mother with tears in his eyes. He could not believe that he had finally regained his memories. The first thing he spoke about after opening his eyes was Emmy.“Mom, I want to see Emmy. I want to see her right away.”Old Mrs. Roberts was confused, “Son, what are you talking about? Why do you want to see Emmy after everything she did to you?”“Mom, I will explain everything to you later. But I have to see Emmy right away. Also, make sure that Lynn does not go anywhere. Don’t let her leave the Roberts mansion at any cost.”Although Mrs. Roberts was confused, she still nodded her head. She went to her husband and conveyed her son’s message.Old Mr. Roberts did not express much. He looked like he had expected it, “Let us do as he says.”Lynn had left the hospital before her father woke up. Since the doctors had said that the surgery was a success, there was no doubt tha

    Chapter 186A few days had passed, and Daniel had not received any positive feedback from Layla. He was on the verge of losing his mind.“Layla, what is your father saying? The media is making fun of you. What are you going to do about it?”“Daniel, I cannot give you a reply right now. My uncle would be undergoing surgery to try and regain his memories, my dad is also busy looking through what exactly happened the other night, so please, I appreciate your concern, but you have to be patient, and wait for a little while.”“After helping you and even saving your life, this is what I get in return. I even offered to take responsibility for what happened, but you are still delaying things?”Layla was about to reply when her father’s voice sounded from behind, “Who is on the phone?”Layla turned around, “Dad… it… It is nothing.”“Give me the phone.”Layla had no choice but to hand the phone to her father. Andrew took the phone and spoke in a cold voice, “You bastard, are you forcing my dau

    Chapter 185At the hotel…Layla took a shower. Thinking about what had transpired, she could not help but cry out in pain. What made her cry even harder was the fact that she could not remember a thing.“Gosh, why did this have to happen to me? How am I going to face anyone from today onwards?”Daniel looked at the bathroom door that was tightly closed and smiled contentedly. Now, he would be like a hero to the Roberts family, and he was sure that they would fulfill all his wishes.He took his phone and texted Lynn, “We are about to leave. I hope the reporters are on standby.”Lynn’s reply came almost immediately, “They have been outside the room the entire night, don’t worry, they won’t go away so easily.”Daniel also took a shower. He did not want to raise any suspicion, especially now that his plan was almost successful.The moment he opened the hotel door, the reporters surrounded them.Daniel appeared shocked as he drew Layla into his arms. He looked at the reporters and question

    Chapter 184“I remember you, you are Lynn’s brother, right?”Daniel nodded.“How the hell did this happen? My mind is so messed up, and I don’t remember anything.”Daniel looked at her and smiled secretly. The person who sold him the drug had said that it would be hard for the person who took it to remember anything. Their memories would be all over the place, and it seemed that he had been right about it.“Well, I don’t know if you are going to believe me or not, but I saved your life yesterday night.”“What do you mean you saved my life? What exactly happened? Can you please speak up!”Daniel started to narrate the story that he had formed with Lynn.“All that happened without my knowledge?” Layla asked in a disbelieving tone.“I found you in the washroom, and you were almost out of breath. I recognized you and helped you to your room. I just never imagined that…”Layla held her face in her hands. She was so confused that she did not know what to do.If what Daniel said was true, sh

    Chapter 183With the Roberts family intervention, the scandal surrounding Lynn was quietened down. Since Vince had not made another move, her tensed heart also calmed down.Just as she thought that she had dodged the bullet and she would have a few peaceful days, Daniel called her, “Lynn, we only have two days until Friday, what is your plan?”Remembering everything she had been through and the obvious doubt that the Roberts family had against her, Lynn did not think that she would be able to pull it off.“Daniel, can we do this some other time, please? I have been through a lot of troubles lately; I don’t think that I will be able to pull this off.”Daniel was quiet for a minute before he spoke up, “In that case, I will just forward this video to every member of the Roberts family, or should I just post it online?”Lynn felt like crying after hearing that. She gritted her teeth and spoke, “Daniel, please, don’t do this to me. I will help you. I will make arrangements. Just be there, o

Old Mr. Roberts wanted to oust her from the house right there and then, but Leo stopped him.“Dad, we should listen to what Lynn has to say. What if she is being framed?”Seeing that there were hopes for her to redeem herself, Lynn fell to her knees and hugged Leo’s legs. As long as her father still believed in her, she would have the chance to turn things around.“Dad, I am so sad. I don’t know what I did to deserve all these. I wonder what Emmy really wants with my life.”“What do you mean?” Old Mrs. Roberts glared at her with cold eyes. Her family had never faced such humiliation all these years, and because of her, they were now being roasted by the media.“Dad, I am innocent. I did not do anything. I have been staying home all this time, how could I know all these bad people? I think that Emmy did it on purpose. She wanted to frame me.”“And why would Emmy do that, huh?” Old Mr. Roberts asked.

Five minutes later, a phone ringtone broke the deadly silence in the room.“Bring it to me.”The goons had been beaten black and blue, and they had no way of resisting. The phone was handed to Vince, who picked it up and put it on loudspeaker.Lynn’s excited voice came through the phone, “Any updates? Is the job done? Have you already dealt with the bitch?”No one spoke on the other side of the phone. Lynn got frustrated and shouted, “Can’t you hear me? Have you gone deaf? I haven’t received a single picture or video from you. Is the job done or not?”After what seemed like forever, Vince’s cold voice came through the speaker, “Lynn Roberts, right? I see that you have grown wings after joining the Roberts family. Do they know what you have been up to?”Lynn was so shocked that her whole body
