Chapter 173

Luck seemed to be on Lynn’s side because when she arrived home, she heard that one of the great families was holding a birthday party.

She went to Layla and spoke to her, “Layla, I have just heard that the Johnson's have organized a birthday party for their grandson, will you be going?”

Layla was sharpening her nails. She looked at Lynn and replied, “How can I miss it? Cate is my best friend, and I cannot miss it even if I want to.”

Lynn moved closer to her and held her arm. She affectionately called her, “Layla, you know that I have just joined the Roberts family, and I don’t have a lot of friends yet. Could you please take me with you?”

“And why would I take you with me?”

“Layla, come on. I see you as my sister. I just want to make friends, just like you. I have never been to such a party, and I would like to see how it is done.”

Layla thought about it before she spoke, “The party will be held this Friday at the Pear Hotel. I will see if I can get an extra invitation for

Vince wanted to tag along, but Emmy stopped him.He was so busy dealing with his business, and Emmy did not want to trouble him with such trivial matters.Dave slowly started to come around after seeing that Vince truly loved his sister. When he learned that Vince was giving Emmy almost ninety percent of his salary, he was so shocked that he did not say a word for two days.He also realized that his sister would never accept another man other than Vince, so he had no choice but to accept him.He looked at Vince who was looking at Emmy with a worried gaze and spoke, “Brother-in-law, there are four of us, plus the secret bodyguards that you have arranged for my sister. Be rest assured that we will not let any harm come to her.”Vince patted his shoulder, “Don’t let me down, Dave. I am now counting on you to take care of my wife. If anything happens to her, just know that I will not spare you.”“Don’t worry, brother-in-law,

    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? Did the cat eat your ton

    Chapter 3She never knew that this man could be so despicable. First, he threatened her using her father and forced her to marry him. 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 7Emmy was so tense she could feel the blood in her veins freeze. Her heart was beating rapidly and just as she thought that her end was near, the phone in her pocket vibrated, making her almost jump up in fright.She took out her phone and hung up without even looking at the caller ID. Her hazel eyes stared at the old man, fear gripping her heart. Her mind was racing, thinking about how to get herself out of this mess.Grandfather Young held the red booklet in his hands, as he examined it over and over again. He was like a kid who had been handed his favorite doll and he could not put it down.After finally satisfying his eyes, Grandfather Young nodded in approval as he clapped his hands, “I have finally lived to see this day. My grandson is now a married man. Oh, my goodness, I have not felt this happy in a long time.”Having spoken what was on his mind, the old man slowly opened the red booklet. Emmy’s nervousness was at its peak, and for a moment, she thought of snatching t

    Chapter 172Few weeks had passed since Jonathan and Daniel visited the Sharma family. They had already gotten a few deals with them and their business was blooming.Jonathan looked at his son and instructed, “Son, I think that it is time to put your other plan into motion.”Daniel nodded, “Yes, Dad. I was just thinking about the same thing. I think that it is time to call my ‘sister’ again.”Daniel went to his office and dialed Lynn’s number. The moment the call connected, Lynn’s irritated voice came through the phone, “Daniel, I have done everything you asked me to, what else do you want from me?”Daniel laughed, “Relax, little sister. Can’t I even call to check up on you?”“Who is your little sister? What else do you want from me?”Lynn was not a fool. She did not have a close relationship with Daniel, so there was no way he would call just to check up on her.He must be up to something.He had been using her to force the Roberts family to sign several business deals with them that

    Chapter 171“What can I do to make you let go of my sister?” Dave asked as he looked at Vince.Vince almost laughed out loud after hearing his question. No one had ever spoken him like that. This boy had some guts!“And what makes you think that I will let go of my wife?”Dave clenched his teeth as he looked at Vince like he was some kind of a hooligan, “I know that you don’t love my sister. She only married you in place of Lynn and the person you love is Lynn. Please, go and get your wife and let go of my sister.”“Boy, you don’t know what you are talking about.”“I know everything. Emmy told me and I know that she will never lie to me.”“Hmmm. Did she also tell you that she loves me?”“Impossible. My sister would never fall in love with someone like you.”At this moment, Vince could not help but laugh. Looks like this boy’s thoughts were not innocent after all.“I did not call you here so that we could discuss whether your sister loves me or not. I called you here because I have a f

    Chapter 170Vince looked at Dave as his gaze turned ice-cold. Who did he think he was?“Don’t be ungrateful.” With those words, he quickened his steps and followed his wife upstairs.One thing he hated was seeing his wife sad. It had taken him a lot of effort to cheer Emmy up after what had happened in the Roberts' house, he was not going to allow someone else to trouble his wife, even if that person was her brother.The rest of them only came back to their senses after Vince had left. Ben wiped the sweat off his forehead as he looked at Dave like he was a lunatic, “Bro, I never question any of your decisions, but I must say, you have really fucked up this time around.”“What just happened?” Levi asked.Simon looked at Dave and spoke, “I think someone was just being ungrateful right now. Bro, was that really necessary?”Dave did not react when he was being reprimanded by his friends. He stood there with a blank face as if he could not register what just happened.Simon went near him a

    Chapter 169“Wow, you look so beautiful. You don’t look like an older sister at all. Instead, you look like you are younger than us.”No woman would refuse such sweet compliments. Emmy pursed her lips as her face blushed shyly.Being called beautiful was probably the best comment every woman would want to hear about herself.“Come on, if we stay any longer, we will be stuck in traffic and we will not make it home on time. Let us get going.” Emmy spoke.The four boys followed, and she led them to her Rolls Royce that was parked not so far away.The moment they saw the luxurious car, Levi, Ben, and Simon screamed out loud.“Oh, my goodness, is this really a Rolls Royce? This is my dream car.” Levi spoke, almost in tears.As for Dave, he was not as excited as his friends. Upon seeing the car, he frowned in displeasure.“Sis, where did you get this car?”“Your brother-in-law gave it to me after he returned from abroad. I have had it for close to four months now.”“Hmmm.” Dave nodded witho

My tummy was hurting me so bad a moment ago, but I am all good now.”“Are you sure? Should I call a doctor for you?”“There is no need for that. It is something that happens often, so I am already used to it.”Lynn looked around and pretended to ask, “Uhm, where is Daniel? Has he left already?”“No. He said that he wanted to use the washroom, so he was escorted out by the servant.”“Hmm…”“Don’t worry, Lynn. I have already called security, and they will be here to throw them out at any moment.”Lynn touched her nose awkwardly when she heard that. She would have been extremely happy if it had happened, but now…She looked at her father and waved her hand dismissively, “Dad, it is alright. We don’t have to throw them out anymore.”“What?” Everyone from the Roberts family was stunned. They looked at a Lynn as if they could not understand what she just said.Lynn l

    Chapter 167Daniel could not stand to see his father be insulted by Lynn. After spending their resources on her for over a decade, she was now shamelessly throwing them under the bus.And looking at everyone from the Roberts family, they seemed to be falling for her act.He took out his phone and tapped on it. Soon, Lynn’s phone rang with a notification. She paused in her act, took out her phone and checked it. Seeing that she had received an attachment from Daniel, Lynn frowned and looked at him.But Daniel was so busy typing away on his phone that he did not pay any attention to her. Before she could open the file that Daniel had sent her, a message came in.“Don’t act all smart, Lynn, I know all of your secrets. You either help us, or I show the Roberts family the real you.”Lynn’s face paled when she read the message. What could Daniel have against her? Could it be related to the file he had sent her?Lynn quickly downloaded the file that Daniel had sent and opened it.It was a vi

    Chapter 166Lynn touched her nose awkwardly when her father called her out. She did not know what to say.Jonathan and Daniel had come in with a lovely attitude, and if she said that they had mistreated her, then she would be seen as a liar. And if she said that they had been good to her…Well… they had been indeed good to her, and Jonathan had spoiled her like his own daughter. But when she had been of no use to him, he had chased her away and taken everything away from her without batting an eyelid.Lynn would be lying if she said that she did not resent Jonathan.With all eyes on her, Lynn did not know what to say.Seeing that she had remained quiet, Jonathan became tense. If Lynn spoke anything bad about him, he would not spare her, even if she was now the daughter of the Roberts family.“Lynn, have you forgotten all those years? I used to take you and your mother to many fun places even before we officially became a family. You loved going to the theme park. Have you forgotten?”
