Chapter 154

Emmy 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

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 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.

    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

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

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.

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
