The Billionaire CEO And His Substitute Wife chapter 25
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 26Emmy closed the bedroom door with a bang. Her heart was beating so hard that she felt as if she could not breathe.Vince followed her upstairs. He opened the bedroom door and entered. 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

Chapter 28What was there to get ready for?Emmy did not give it much thought. It was just making a small turn. 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. Even when Vince came back, they rarely got v

Chapter 29Seeing that the woman was openly threatening her, Emmy was amazed at how thick her skin was.She was here to ask for help, and instead of humbling herself, she was ordering her around.She also had a temper. with a voice filled with anger, she spoke to Sheila, “Hey you, don’t come and shout in my house. If you think that I am going to mess things up, then why did you ask me to do it? You still have time to look for someone else, I will be more than happy to step aside.”“You…” Sheila could not believe that Emmy was talking back at her.Emmy looked at her fearlessly and sneered, “I am not afraid of anyone. If you make things difficult for me, then I would be sure to return the favor.”“Who do you think you are? You cheap…” As Sheila spoke, she swung the bag she was holding towards Emmy. But before she could finish cursing, a cold voice was heard, “Who are you talking about?”Sheila immediately shut up as the two women turned towards the source of the voice.They saw Vince ap

Chapter 30Lynn was processing everything that Sheila had said to her. Her mind was in great shock and she could not believe her ears.Just how lucky was Emmy? Despite Vince liking men, he still treats her well.He had gifted her a limited-edition car, handbags, and many other items that she might not know about.Hearing her manager’s suggestion, although Lynn was tempted, she was still hesitant, “Sheila, switching back with Emmy is not a problem. But I have my worries.”Sheila looked at her and asked, “What is it? What are you worried about?”“I don’t know if Emmy had already seduced Vince and if they had already done the did, you understand what I am trying to say.”Sheila frowned when she heard that. If Emmy had slept with Vince already, then…Her eyes lit up as she thought of something, “Lynn, you have been keeping that tycoon company for a while now. Have you guys not reached that step yet?”Lynn’s face flushed when she heard that. “Sheila, what are you talking about? How could y

Chapter 31With the clock hitting 7.30 sharp, the screeching sound of breaks was heard as the car stopped outside Vince’s mansion.Lynn and Sheila had expected that Emmy would already at the entrance waiting for them. But seeing that no one was there, they both frowned.Wasn’t Emmy acting a little bit too high and mighty?Lynn looked at Sheila and asked, “Didn’t you say that we were supposed to pick her up at 7.30?”“Yes, and it was Vince who actually suggested that time. I wonder what she is doing inside?”“Haha, just because Vince had treated her nicely once, she now thinks too highly of herself. Does she expect the whole world to stop and wait for her?” Lynn scoffed.Hearing that, Sheila added, “She must be doing it on purpose.”“Just wait and see how I throw her out of Vince’s life.”As Lynn said that, her gaze wandered around, quietly admiring Vince’s home. This was a place she was supposed to call home, but she had not stepped foot in it even once.Since she had not taken her ma

Chapter 32Emmy had no choice but to go look for a coffee shop. She wondered if Lynn treated her assistant that way or if she was just making things difficult for her on purpose.When she returned, Lynn had already begun her performance.Her white off-shoulder dress was in sync with the white piano. She looked like a goddess and the staff members could not stop showering her with praises.“I have only seen Miss Lynn perform on TV. I have never imagined that a day will come when I will watch her perform right in front of my eyes.”“This is like a dream. It is too surreal.”“She is even more beautiful in real life than she is on TV.”“She has a beautiful face and soul; her energy is clean. I feel like I have met a goddess in real life.”Hearing all the praises about Lynn, Emmy felt like throwing up. Haha, these people did not know that Lynn was a devil in human form.But maybe even if they knew, they would still worship her.Sheila was all smiles when she heard people praising Lynn. She

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
The Billionaire CEO And His Substitute Wife chapter 78
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.
