Chapter 14

When 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 21“Once you take on this deal, you will be an international star. We have been waiting for this opportunity, an opportunity where an international door would be finally opened for you. And my girl, you are about to get just that.”Lynn could not contain her joy. She stood up and jumped up and down as she screamed at the top of her lungs.“Sheila, is this a dream?”Sheila smiled widely. She even felt her cheeks hurt as she had never smiled so much in her entire life.“No, Lynn, you are not dreaming. You are about to become an international pianist, and in no time, your brand will be sold worldwide.”This was an opportunity that had landed on her plate out of the blue. Even if she had worked her ass off for a lifetime, she would not have been confident in banging such an opportunity.Although Lynn was excited and she felt that she was on cloud nine, she still retained some of her senses. She looked at her manager and questioned, “Sheila, but why me? Why did Premium Car Company

    Chapter 22Although Lynn was very unwilling to talk to Emmy, her manager signaled her. She could only nod reluctantly, “Yes.”Emmy did not care about anything. She immediately sat straight and asked Lynn, “How is he?”It has been three years and they would not even allow her to see her father. She missed him a lot every day.Before Lynn could say anything, Sheila cut her off.“Like I said, he is not in the best condition to be moved right now, and that is according to the doctor's words. But if you cooperate with us this time, we will make sure that your father gets the best medical treatment, and he might even wake up soon.”“Really? Are you going to provide my dad with the best medical treatment?”Seeing that her heart was becoming soft, Sheila quickly nodded.“Of course.”Although Emmy did not want to believe anything coming out of Sheila’s mouth, her father was her greatest weakness.Anything to do with her father always made her lose her reason. She was really worried that her fa

    Chapter 81“I…”Sheila was getting annoyed. She spoke in an emotionless voice, “Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? Do you want everyone to know what happened between you and that psychopath?”Lynn bit her lips. Unable to utter even a single word. She felt as if she was about to lose her mind.Sheila looked at her and her voice softened a bit. They had been together for many years and even if it was just a business relationship, she cared a little about her. She spoke in a soft voice, “Lynn, for the sake of your future, this is the only way. We cannot let your career be ruined just like that.”“We are yet to start filming. If we tell director Grant that you are sick and you need a week off, do you think that he will be happy? It was already hard enough for you to secure this role.”Lynn knew that with her current state, she would only be making things difficult for herself if she insisted on appearing in the public. There would be many questions and she had no idea if she would

    Chapter 80She went to a corner and took a deep breath before she downed a glass of juice.She was processing everything that had happened when she heard an excited voice calling her from behind. She did not even have to turn around to know who it was. Sheila approached her as she excitedly spoke, “Lynn, you are quite something. I am finding it hard to believe what I have just witnessed.”Emmy rolled her eyes until they reached her skull. She placed the empty glass on the table before she turned around and looked at Sheila with a sarcastic smile, “Who was yapping in my ears a moment ago that Lynn’s career was going to be ruined because of me?”Hearing that, Sheila slapped her mouth as she laughed awkwardly, “Ah, I was blind please forgive me, Your Highness.”Sheila gave Emmy a proper look. The more she looked at her, the more she realized that she was pretty than Lynn and she even exhibited an air of elegance that was lacking in Lynn.Sheila glanced around sneakily. After making sure

    Chapter 79A surge of delight filled her heart. All the negative feelings she had about Emmy vanished in thin air.Why would she waste her resources promoting the stagnant Lynn when the already-made Emmy was right in front of her eyes?With Emmy’s piano skills, the only thing that she needed was exposure. She only needed a stage and boom; she would become an international pianist in no time.Visualizing everything in her mind made Sheila tear up. How she wanted to just rush up to the stage and sign the contract with Emmy right away.On the other hand, Cecil’s smug smile froze when Emmy started the play the piano. Her confidence shattered as her face paled. She had not expected that “Lynn” had leveled up so much, that catching up to her would definitely require a decade of relentless practice.No wonder she had readily agreed to the bet. She was setting a trap for her and clearly wanted to embarrass her.Cecil had thought that she was playing mind games with “Lynn”, but as it turns out

    Chapter 78Lynn had told her that she learned most of her piano skills from her father, Leo McKenzie. Maybe Emmy had also learned a thing or two, given that she was Leo’s daughter. But could Emmy’s skills be compared to Lynn’s?Lynn’s whole life revolved around the piano, and what of Emmy? Did she even know how many keys are on the piano?With Emmy’s mediocre skills, Cecil would defeat her even with her eyes closed.Sheila felt like she was about to lose her mind. She tugged at Emmy's hand and when she finally got her attention, she whispered to her, “Emmy, I am warning you, stop this drama right now before you put Lynn’s career in jeopardy. Do you want to actually put your family at risk just so you could satisfy your ego?”Emmy did not say anything. She glanced at her before she turned around and spoke to Cecil, “Fine, I will take the bet.”Sheila was shocked. She felt like she was about to faint.Emmy is looking for trouble, and Lynn would be the one to face the consequences of her

    Chapter 77Sheila cursed when she did not get through to Lynn. She was about to go out and look for her when her sixth sense sensed trouble.She looked over and saw a beautiful woman, donning a well-tailored evening dress. She was intimately holding a middles-aged man arm as they stood in front of Emmy and Vince.Sheila could not help but curse out, “Darn it! What is Cecil doing here?”She quickly put her phone in her hand bag and hurried over.Emmy stared at Cecil, a small smile replacing her initial awkwardness. She had no idea who the woman was.Upon seeing “Lynn’s” friendly smile, Cecil let out a cold laugh, “Ah, look who we have here. Lynn, if you had not snatched my collaboration with Graund back then, I would have been the youngest pianist in the country.”She laughed sarcastically as she continued, “So, even after stealing what was meant for me back then, you couldn’t even make a name for yourself in the piano world? Resort to acting is a really an insult!”Although Emmy had n

    Chapter 76Emmy blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterflies. An idea struck her mind and suddenly, she took the wine glass from Sheila’s hand and downed it one gulp.Everyone was stunned. The glass that Sheila had been holding was filled with hard liquor, and “Lynn” just drank it as if she were drinking water.Director Grant was the first to return to his senses. He laughed out loud as he spoke, his voice full of admiration, “Ha ha, Master Young was right. Lynn can really hold her liquor. Even after so many glasses, she can still stand on her feet.”Vince, however, was not pleased. His brows furrowed as he narrowed his eyes dangerously at Emmy. He went and snatched the wine glass from Emmy before he placed it on the table with a thud!He coldly looked at the people who were admiring Emmy and spoke in an emotionless voice, “Lynn has had enough alcohol tonight, she cannot consume anymore.”The chilling look in his eyes made everyone grasp in panic. Someone seemed to have pre

    Chapter 75Sheila thought about it before she sent Lynn a message, “Lynn, find an opportunity to sneak back to your hotel room. Be careful not to be discovered by anyone.”Lynn sighed heavily after reading Sheila’s message. She wondered when she had become a fugitive, always doing things sneakily.Emmy had been buried in her academic research the whole day. She felt tired as she stretched her hands lazily. She looked at the noodles on the table, her stomach rumbling. She would soon have her father back, and all her money would be used to pay his medical bill, so she could not afford to misuse even a single cent.Just as she was about to open the noodles, her phone rang.She frowned as she went to take a look, “Who could it be?”Emmy took a look at her phone and when she saw the caller ID, her frown deepened. Why would Sheila be calling her at this hour?She answered the phone and put it on her ear, “What’s up?”Sheila’s urgent voice came through the speaker, “Emmy, I need you to get h

    Chapter 74Alexandra’s hand hung awkwardly in the air as Vince had no intention of shaking it. He gave out a dry laugh before he retracted his hand. He looked at Vince with an arrogant gaze.“Master Young, you like to joke. One hundred million investment if just for fun for you?”As he spoke, his gaze traveled to Lynn, “I heard that the second female lead was replaced suddenly. It turns out that Master Young was helping Lynn make her way into the entertainment industry?”Vince did not accept or deny. He only looked at Alexandra and gave a nonchalant smile.Although he did not say anything, his ambiguous attitude made Lynn feel excited.She had been wondering why Director Grant cast her as the second female lead, knowing fully well that she had no background in acting.He had said that it was because of the tweet that had been circulating, but that was a lie. As it turns out, it was because of Vince’s influence.That also explained why the director had been looking at her strangely tod

She is our second female lead.”The people, already aware of Lynn’s reputation, praised her.One of them raised his glass and smiled, “What an honor to finally meet the youngest and most successful pianist in the country. You are truly more beautiful in real life. Indeed, you are a goddess.”Looking at them, Lynn did not know who the main investor was. She decided to play it safe, toasting at each man with her wine glass. She had to leave a positive impression regardless of whether the main investor was among them or not.She had to make sure that she won the big boss over, as it would be simple for her to get rid of that annoying fly in the name of Alexandra.However, Director Grant seemed to have seen through her motive.
