Chapter 20

Just 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

Looking at his wife’s flushed face, he felt the blood in his veins rush at a high speed.Although he was excited, he wanted to know what had transpired so he suppressed his feelings as he walked over to Emmy.Vince looked at her and asked in a serious voice, “Did everything go smoothly?”His serious expression made Emmy’s hyper mood calm down a bit. She looked at Vince and recounted, “It all went well, but your wife is very annoying. Do you know that she did not allow me to drive my car? She even blindfolded me all the way to my father’s room. I really wanted to use this opportunity to know my dad’s location, but I guess it was all in vain.”Vince looked at her indifferently without saying anything. It was as if he was not interested in whatever she was saying.Emmy was perplexed and she could

    Chapter 27When Vince heard that, the smile at the corner of his eyes deepened, he looked at Emmy slyly before he commented, “Then I will pay you seven hundred dollars.”“Seven hundred dollars?”Emmy almost teared up when she heard that. She had thought that Vince would try to bargain and ask her to reduce the price, but now he was actually adding more money to her.Emmy was so happy and touched that she did not know how to contain her happiness.She looked at Vince and gave out a huge smile, her eyes curving into crescents.Despite his narcissistic side, this man was very generous.Haha, seven hundred dollars in a day, she was going to be rich very soon. She was going to make sure that she did a good job so that Mr. Young could even add her more.“Mr. Young, thank you so much for your trust in my services. I hope that we will have a smooth cooperation.”Vince looked at her and smiled, “Of course, we will.”After dinner…Emmy could not wait. The moment Vince entered the bedroom, she ha

Then she would just show off her driving skills.But the next day, an uninvited guest showed up at the mansion.Maid Lisa opened the door and when she saw the guest, a huge smile was plastered on her face. She quickly ushered her in as she respectfully spoke, “Are you Mrs. Young’s manager?”Sheila nodded, a small smile hanging on her lips, “Yes, you got that right. I came to see Lynn for something important. I am so sorry for showing up all of a sudden.”“It is okay, you don’t have to apologize. The couple are currently having a meal, come on, I will take you to them.”Lisa smiled happily as she led Sheila into the house.At the dining table, Emmy had just finished taking her last bite and she was wiping her lips when the doorbell rang.She had been living in this mansion for the past three years and no one had ever come to visit.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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
