Chapter 177

“Nothing… I… I am not in a very good mood; that was why I locked myself in the room today.”

“Why? What happened?”

“You know that Director Grant’s film. It had been canceled before, but now, it is being released again. Emmy snatched that role away from me, and I just feel bad seeing her take credit for it.”

“Sorry about that.”

“You know, they have come to this city to promote the film, and I feel slightly bad. I cannot just stomach the fact that Emmy is reaping where she did not sow.”

“Lynn, don’t be sad. You have started your music career again. And as your dad, I promise you that I am going to make sure that you step on the international stage.”

“Really, Dad?”

“Of course. I owe you my life, and I am going to use the remaining few years of my life to make sure that you get everything that you have ever desired.”

Lynn went over and hugged Leo, “Thank you, Dad. Only you understand me so well, father. I must have done so many good deeds in my past life to deserve someone like

    Chapter 178Dave had already started to track Emmy’s phone.“Although the phone is switched off and it will be hard to track her, but as long it still has her sim card inside, then it can be tracked.”“Have you reached my brother-in-law?”“Not yet.” Sheila shook her head.“Come on. Let us head to the hotel. It will be easier for us to work from there.”The hotel was not far from the airport and it took them about twenty minutes to reach the hotel.Dave and his boys buried their heads in their laptops and tried to locate Emmy while Sheila tried to reach Vince.After what seemed like forever, Vince finally called, “Sheila, what happened? I have received so many voice mails from you. And where is Emmy? I cannot reach her phone.”Sheila almost cried upon hearing Vince’s voice, “Boss, you finally called back. Hurry up and come to City C. something happened to Emmy.”Hearing that something happened to Emmy, Vince felt his heart drop to his stomach. He regretted leaving her alone, knowing fu

    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

    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 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

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.

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

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.

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.
