Chapter 160

A 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 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

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 1Standing at the airport entrance, Emmy looked at the airline’s online booking app, her palms sweating profusely and her heart beating hard in her chest.“Oh no, why is the earliest flight out of the city at 10 PM?”She had no idea where she was going, but she was not leaving the city for a vacation or a business trip, but rather, she was running away from her ‘husband’.Emmy had a striking resemblance to her sister, Lynn and since they were almost of the same age, and in most cases, some people even considered them twins, she was forced to replace her sister and marry the richest young man in the city, Vince Young.But immediately after the wedding, before they could even consummate their marriage, Vince left the country and went abroad, disappearing for three good years.In those three years, Emmy lived like a widow, she almost forgot that she had been married until the news of her ‘husband’s’ return reached her ears.She had married the man in place of her sister and since

    Chapter 2That one statement made Emmy to feel as if all the life has been sacked away from her body. Her body became rigid and her mind seemed as if it had suffered an electrocution as it stopped working.He found out! Meaning he had seen something earlier on when he took her phone away from her. Or else, he would not have gone around snooping through her phone.What to do! What to do now!How do I get myself out of this mess.Emmy felt as if she was on a rollercoaster. The highs and lows of her emotions made her to not perceive what exactly was going on.Vince looked at Emmy’s changing expression, and he quite enjoyed it. The anger that had been simmering in his chest seemed to have quietened down a bit.He twirled Emmy’s phone in his hands and laughed, “Haha, twins… huh! I have never thought that the Sharma family would give me such a surprise. Tell me something, do you switch places so often?”“I… we…”“You were very talkative yesterday, what has happened?

Now, he wanted to introduce her to his buddies but he was not ready to reveal her real identity.Could her poor life get any more miserable?But it looks like she had no choice or say in the matter. Looks like she had to continue being Lynn’s shadow even if she loathed it.Seeing that she was not happy, Vince slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at her.He opened his mouth and questioned, “What is the matter? don’t you want to go?”Emmy looked at him and rolled her eyes that they almost entered her skull. In a dull voice, she spoke, “Do I even have a choice of whether I should or should not go?”Vince nodded his head, indicating that he was proud at least his wife was a bit intelligent, “It is good you know that you don’t have a choice.’’After saying that, Vince looked at her with an evaluating gaze. It seemed like he was trying to find something on

    Chapter 4And Emmy also came to realize one thing! This man had definitely done everything on purpose.Although she did not know what his reason was, or maybe he wanted to get back at her for what her family had done to him, by deceiving him, she felt herself hate him even more.His main purpose was definitely to embarrass her. She had never seen such a despicable man all her life.Did he marry her just to make fun of her? She could not fathom what was going on in his mind.Seeing that she was still standing, with a stunned expression on her face, Vince pretended as if he had not seen anything as he spoke, “Lynn, go on, everyone is waiting!”Emmy, “Humph!?”Emmy took a deep breath, using every strength in her body to prevent herself from landing a hot slap on Vince’s face. If looks could kill, he would have died thousands of times already.Seeing that she was not moving, Vince spoke in a joking but threatening manner, “Hey, what are you thinking about? Do you want people to pay before

    Chapter 5Vince gave her a reassuring gaze when he realized that his wife was panicking.He looked at the woman who seemed to have applied a whole bottle of foundation on her face and calmly called out her name, “Whitney Brown.”Whitney frowned when Vince called her by her full name. Before she could say anything, she heard the man continue, “Everyone knows that you don’t get along with Lynn, so why are you pretending to be friendly all of a sudden?”The smile on Whitney’s face disappeared.It was true. She and Lynn had been in the same piano class. In fact, they had the same teacher, but Lynn had tremendous talent that she had left her far behind. She had always considered her as her enemy and how she wished that the woman could just disappear from the face of the earth.She had not even made a name for herself all because of this bitch!And the worst part was that Lynn had been taken in by a very reputable piano master, making her his last disciple. Whitney had almost died of jealous

His heart felt happy for some unknown reason every time he teased her.Hugging her forcefully, he whispered in her ear, “Now, you can feel that I am your husband, right?”His warm breath sent a shiver down Emmy’s spike but his words made her scoff in contempt.Husband!Who the heck told you that I wanted to feel you as my husband?Emmy gave it her all and struggled to free herself but the man was not giving her any chance. After what seemed like an eternity, and after she felt like all the energy in her body had been depleted, Emmy finally gave up.Like a lifeless body, she slumped into Vince’s arms, no longer having the energy to resist.She opened her mouth to utter something, “Vin…”, but before she could even finish to utter the man’s name, something unexpected happened.Without any prior warning, Vince’s cool lips aggressively met hers, leaving her utterly dumbfounded.The chauffeur looked at what was happening in the ba

    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

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.
