The Billionaire CEO And His Substitute Wife chapter 18
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 25Emmy went over and held her dad’s hand. He was the same as he had been three years ago, just that he had thinned a little too much and he was still not responding.He had been like this for many years, and Emmy felt heartbroken just by looking at her father.She sobbed as she spoke in a broken voice, “Daddy, Emmy misses you so much. Nothing feels right without you.”It has been three years since Emmy saw her father. She had tried her best to look for him but Lynn had hidden him well. Given Emmy’s personality, there was no way she would have allowed Lynn to control her easily.Lynn knew how important her father was to her, and that was why she had used that as an opportunity to exploit her.Lynn had not left the room. She needed to keep an eye on Emmy just in case she tried something funny.She looked at how Emmy was sobbing uncontrollably and sneered in her heart. This man was as useless as a dead person, she wondered why Emmy was so attached to him.As a father, he had been

Chapter 81“I…”Sheila was getting annoyed. She spoke in an emotionless voice, “Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? Do you want everyone to know what happened between you and that psychopath?”Lynn bit her lips. Unable to utter even a single word. She felt as if she was about to lose her mind.Sheila looked at her and her voice softened a bit. They had been together for many years and even if it was just a business relationship, she cared a little about her. She spoke in a soft voice, “Lynn, for the sake of your future, this is the only way. We cannot let your career be ruined just like that.”“We are yet to start filming. If we tell director Grant that you are sick and you need a week off, do you think that he will be happy? It was already hard enough for you to secure this role.”Lynn knew that with her current state, she would only be making things difficult for herself if she insisted on appearing in the public. There would be many questions and she had no idea if she would

Chapter 80She went to a corner and took a deep breath before she downed a glass of juice.She was processing everything that had happened when she heard an excited voice calling her from behind. She did not even have to turn around to know who it was. Sheila approached her as she excitedly spoke, “Lynn, you are quite something. I am finding it hard to believe what I have just witnessed.”Emmy rolled her eyes until they reached her skull. She placed the empty glass on the table before she turned around and looked at Sheila with a sarcastic smile, “Who was yapping in my ears a moment ago that Lynn’s career was going to be ruined because of me?”Hearing that, Sheila slapped her mouth as she laughed awkwardly, “Ah, I was blind please forgive me, Your Highness.”Sheila gave Emmy a proper look. The more she looked at her, the more she realized that she was pretty than Lynn and she even exhibited an air of elegance that was lacking in Lynn.Sheila glanced around sneakily. After making sure

Chapter 79A surge of delight filled her heart. All the negative feelings she had about Emmy vanished in thin air.Why would she waste her resources promoting the stagnant Lynn when the already-made Emmy was right in front of her eyes?With Emmy’s piano skills, the only thing that she needed was exposure. She only needed a stage and boom; she would become an international pianist in no time.Visualizing everything in her mind made Sheila tear up. How she wanted to just rush up to the stage and sign the contract with Emmy right away.On the other hand, Cecil’s smug smile froze when Emmy started the play the piano. Her confidence shattered as her face paled. She had not expected that “Lynn” had leveled up so much, that catching up to her would definitely require a decade of relentless practice.No wonder she had readily agreed to the bet. She was setting a trap for her and clearly wanted to embarrass her.Cecil had thought that she was playing mind games with “Lynn”, but as it turns out

Chapter 78Lynn had told her that she learned most of her piano skills from her father, Leo McKenzie. Maybe Emmy had also learned a thing or two, given that she was Leo’s daughter. But could Emmy’s skills be compared to Lynn’s?Lynn’s whole life revolved around the piano, and what of Emmy? Did she even know how many keys are on the piano?With Emmy’s mediocre skills, Cecil would defeat her even with her eyes closed.Sheila felt like she was about to lose her mind. She tugged at Emmy's hand and when she finally got her attention, she whispered to her, “Emmy, I am warning you, stop this drama right now before you put Lynn’s career in jeopardy. Do you want to actually put your family at risk just so you could satisfy your ego?”Emmy did not say anything. She glanced at her before she turned around and spoke to Cecil, “Fine, I will take the bet.”Sheila was shocked. She felt like she was about to faint.Emmy is looking for trouble, and Lynn would be the one to face the consequences of her

Chapter 77Sheila cursed when she did not get through to Lynn. She was about to go out and look for her when her sixth sense sensed trouble.She looked over and saw a beautiful woman, donning a well-tailored evening dress. She was intimately holding a middles-aged man arm as they stood in front of Emmy and Vince.Sheila could not help but curse out, “Darn it! What is Cecil doing here?”She quickly put her phone in her hand bag and hurried over.Emmy stared at Cecil, a small smile replacing her initial awkwardness. She had no idea who the woman was.Upon seeing “Lynn’s” friendly smile, Cecil let out a cold laugh, “Ah, look who we have here. Lynn, if you had not snatched my collaboration with Graund back then, I would have been the youngest pianist in the country.”She laughed sarcastically as she continued, “So, even after stealing what was meant for me back then, you couldn’t even make a name for yourself in the piano world? Resort to acting is a really an insult!”Although Emmy had n

Chapter 76Emmy blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterflies. An idea struck her mind and suddenly, she took the wine glass from Sheila’s hand and downed it one gulp.Everyone was stunned. The glass that Sheila had been holding was filled with hard liquor, and “Lynn” just drank it as if she were drinking water.Director Grant was the first to return to his senses. He laughed out loud as he spoke, his voice full of admiration, “Ha ha, Master Young was right. Lynn can really hold her liquor. Even after so many glasses, she can still stand on her feet.”Vince, however, was not pleased. His brows furrowed as he narrowed his eyes dangerously at Emmy. He went and snatched the wine glass from Emmy before he placed it on the table with a thud!He coldly looked at the people who were admiring Emmy and spoke in an emotionless voice, “Lynn has had enough alcohol tonight, she cannot consume anymore.”The chilling look in his eyes made everyone grasp in panic. Someone seemed to have pre

Chapter 75Sheila thought about it before she sent Lynn a message, “Lynn, find an opportunity to sneak back to your hotel room. Be careful not to be discovered by anyone.”Lynn sighed heavily after reading Sheila’s message. She wondered when she had become a fugitive, always doing things sneakily.Emmy had been buried in her academic research the whole day. She felt tired as she stretched her hands lazily. She looked at the noodles on the table, her stomach rumbling. She would soon have her father back, and all her money would be used to pay his medical bill, so she could not afford to misuse even a single cent.Just as she was about to open the noodles, her phone rang.She frowned as she went to take a look, “Who could it be?”Emmy took a look at her phone and when she saw the caller ID, her frown deepened. Why would Sheila be calling her at this hour?She answered the phone and put it on her ear, “What’s up?”Sheila’s urgent voice came through the speaker, “Emmy, I need you to get h

Chapter 74Alexandra’s hand hung awkwardly in the air as Vince had no intention of shaking it. He gave out a dry laugh before he retracted his hand. He looked at Vince with an arrogant gaze.“Master Young, you like to joke. One hundred million investment if just for fun for you?”As he spoke, his gaze traveled to Lynn, “I heard that the second female lead was replaced suddenly. It turns out that Master Young was helping Lynn make her way into the entertainment industry?”Vince did not accept or deny. He only looked at Alexandra and gave a nonchalant smile.Although he did not say anything, his ambiguous attitude made Lynn feel excited.She had been wondering why Director Grant cast her as the second female lead, knowing fully well that she had no background in acting.He had said that it was because of the tweet that had been circulating, but that was a lie. As it turns out, it was because of Vince’s influence.That also explained why the director had been looking at her strangely tod

Chapter 73“Director Grant…”Her voice was seductive and her face beamed with a flirtatious smile.Seeing her, the director smiled brightly as he turned to look at the people he was conversing with. “Everyone, this is the renowned pianist Lynn Sharma. She is our second female lead.”The people, already aware of Lynn’s reputation, praised her.One of them raised his glass and smiled, “What an honor to finally meet the youngest and most successful pianist in the country. You are truly more beautiful in real life. Indeed, you are a goddess.”Looking at them, Lynn did not know who the main investor was. She decided to play it safe, toasting at each man with her wine glass. She had to leave a positive impression regardless of whether the main investor was among them or not.She had to make sure that she won the big boss over, as it would be simple for her to get rid of that annoying fly in the name of Alexandra.However, Director Grant seemed to have seen through her motive. He looked at h
