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 23“My car…”Before Emmy could finish her statement, Vince’s assistant got out of the car and came over, “Ma’am, please give me your car keys.”Emmy looked at Vince, who was clearly displeased before she handed the keys over to the assistant.She got into the passenger’s seat while Vince got into the driver’s seat. It was only after Emmy had fastened her seat belt that Vince drove out.Emmy felt that the silence in the car was deafening and just as she was about to strike a conversation, Vince spoke up.“Why did you come here?” He asked in a normal tone as if he was talking about something entirely normal.Emmy looked at him. She did not see a hint of anger on his face. His expression was aloof so Emmy had no idea what was going on in his mind.Seeing that she was not saying anything, Vince proceeded to explain, “The car that I gave you is set with a GPS. I saw that you came here so I followed too.”Emmy suddenly felt enlightened. When she had gone racing, she had not told Vinc
Chapter 24By 8.30 AM, Emmy had already parked outside Lynn’s villa.She had been so anxious that she had not even slept well at night.She waited for more than an hour before Lynn leisurely walked downstairs.‘She really had taken her time.’ Emmy thought.Lynn’s gaze landed on the sports car that Emmy was driving and her heart was filled with jealousy. Thinking of the humiliation that she had faced yesterday because of this bitch, her attitude towards her became worse.She knocked on the car window and commanded Emmy, as if she were a queen commanding her subjects, “Get out!”Emmy frowned when she heard that. Although she was displeased, she could not act out as this was the only chance she had to see her father.If she put on airs like Lynn, then she might end up ruining this God-given opportunity.Emmy put her temper in check before she got out of the car.Just as she had gotten out of the car, another car drove out of the parking lot and stopped right beside them. Lynn opened the c
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
Chapter 182Lynn was forced out of her room by the members of the Roberts family. 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. He wa
Chapter 181Tom could not take it anymore. He went to Vince and tried to stop him, “Boss, you need to calm down.”Vince did not say anything. He looked at his watch as if he was doing a countdown. 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
Chapter 180Vince's shaky voice was heard, “I am so sorry, darling. Sorry for coming late.”Emmy hugged Vince with all her might as her body trembled. She was horrified that she could not even utter a single word.“I am sorry.” Vince hugged her tightly. He could tell that Emmy was truly terrified from how much she was trembling.Emmy was sobbing hysterically. She could not believe that she had just escaped death. Or maybe she was in the afterlife, and she was imagining that Vince had come to save her.Emmy could not take the pressure anymore, and she ended up fainting in Vince’s arms.Vince held her as if he were holding a precious gem. Looking at the obvious fingerprint mark on her face, Vince’s anger reached its breaking point.He carried Emmy outside and carefully placed her in his car. He looked at his men and coldly ordered, “Guard this car with your life.”He then turned back and returned to the building.He took out a gun and fired at the goons who were trapped in the corner. T
Chapter 179Tom had never seen Vince so tensed in all the years he had been by his side. He had a grave expression on his face, and it looked like darkness was befalling the earth.He really had to applaud the person who had the guts to abduct Emmy. At least, they will get the chance to experience Vince’s wrath.“Boss, the car carrying Missus was headed to the outskirts of the town. According to the information we just received, there is a notorious gang residing there. I think they are the ones who took Missus away,” Tom reported the information to Vince.“Find her exact location as soon as possible. Also, contact the local police and some media personnel. Didn’t they want to cause a sensation about my wife? I will give them a taste of their own medicine.”“Yes, boss.”Vince clenched his fists tightly. He only prayed that Emmy would be safe, or else, he would never forgive himself if any harm came to her.The cars wheezed on the busy road, and they were soon headed towards the outski
