Chapter 33When the makeup artist heard Emmy, her face paled. She could not believe that it was the same woman that she had done her makeup just a while ago.She could think of anything that she had done that could have pissed off this goddess pianist.Sheila and Lynn were shocked when they heard Emmy. They were about to say something when they remembered that Emmy was now acting as Lynn.If they said something, it might reveal their little secret.Thus, they had to act in sync with Emmy, in order to dispel off any suspicion.“Lynn has just finished playing the piano a while ago. She is still tired, so please do not mind her attitude.” Sheila looked at the makeup artist and explained.The makeup artist nodded in understanding, “I get it. I was just excited about doing Lynn’s makeup. We cooperated well in the morning, that was why.”…The one doing Emmy’s makeup was Sheila’s old acquaintance. They had to make sure that Emmy and Lynn looked almost identical. They could not afford any mi
Chapter 34Lynn looked down on the coffee stains on her clothes, her scalp tingling.She had never faced such humiliation her whole life. This was the first time someone dared to spit on her.No longer being able to suppress the rage boiling inside of her, she raised her head and looked at Emmy, “Em…”Before Lynn could utter the complete name, a deep voice sounded from the door, “Mind your tongue.”Emmy and Sheila turned their heads to look at the person speaking, and their expressions froze as if they had seen a ghost.In a panic, Sheila rushed over and covered Lynn’s mouth to prevent her from saying anything else.But Lynn was not having any of it. She was already in a maniac mode as she struggled against Sheila.“Let go off. If I don’t teach this slut a lesson today, then I won’t be Ly…”“Shh! Just shut up,” Sheila whispered in her ear.Lynn was about to say something but what Sheila said next made her feel as if all her life had been sacked from her body.“Vince is here.”Lynn’s b
Chapter 35Lynn did not care about the coffee dripping from her face. She did not even bother to wipe it, letting it roll down her face in a disgusting manner.She was about to say something but was met with Vince’s cold glare. She could not help but tremble.Vince averted his gaze and looked at Sheila, “Why are you keeping such an incompetent assistant, and she cannot accomplish the simple task of buying coffee?”Sheila was taken aback as her face was filled with embarrassment. This was the second time Vince was reprimanding her because of Emmy.She quickly apologized, “I am so sorry Mr. Young. This assistant just started her job today so I did not have time to train her. But don’t worry, after this, I will make sure that she is properly trained.”After saying that, she looked at Lynn who was staring at Vince with a love-struck gaze before she spoke in a commanding tone, “You, come with me.”Lynn had been so immersed in Vince’s pampering voice that she only came back to her senses af
Chapter 36Vince had never realized just how beautiful Emmy was, or maybe he has never paid enough attention to her.Seeing how men were thirsting after her, Vince was filled with wrath. He had an urge to destroy everything in sight.Emmy was just shooting while driving a car, was there a reason as to why she needed to dress so suggestively?He really needed to teach this director a lesson.He wrapped his arms around her, domineeringly telling the world that she was his woman.The director called out to Emmy, his eyes shining at the sight of her, “Lynn, come over here, we need to start right away.”“Coming, Director Martin.”Emmy removed the jacket that had been covering her legs and handed it to Vince. She was about to run over to the director but Vince held her back.He looked at her with a tender gaze, so tender that Emmy felt butterflies in her stomach.He lowered his head and left a tender kiss on her forehead. He then spoke in a voice that indicated his unwillingness to separate
Chapter 37After saying that, Emmy laughed as she looked at Vince, “Surprise, right?”She narrowed her eyes as she beheld at Vince. She did not want to miss any change in his expression.But Vince’s expression remained poker. He looked at Emmy with an expressionless face before he said, “It is indeed a surprise.”Emmy blinked, then looked at Vince with a confused gaze. Why was the man not following the script she had in mind?“That is, it?”Vince glanced at her and inquired, “What is it? What were you expecting?”Something did not seem right.Emmy knew how crazy Vince was about Lynn. But wasn’t his reaction at the moment too calm?From what she had experienced in the past, he should be reprimanding her for making life difficult for his wife, but this…She could not fathom what was going on in his head.Anyway, trying to figure out what was going on in Vince’s mind was like solving the most difficult puzzle in the world.Emmy lowered her head, feeling sad for the fact that she will be
Chapter 38Emmy smiled sheepishly, “Let us visit Grandfather. It has been a while and I do miss him a little.”Grandfather?What was going on with Emmy? Yesterday she did not take her salary, and now she was proposing that they visit Grandfather.As kin as Vince was, he realized that something was definitely going on with Emmy.He remembered the first time they had gone to the old mansion. Emmy was so reluctant that she had almost fought with him. What happened that made her want to visit the old mansion out of the blue?Vince looked at Emmy with his scrutinizing gaze, “Emmy, is there something that I should be made aware of?”When she heard his question, Emmy touched her nose as she gave out an awkward laugh, “Nothing much. I just said that I miss my grandfather, and that is it. Plus, I have never cooked for him. I have been learning some new recipes lately and I think that grandfather will definitely like them.”Vince looked at her, trying to figure out if she was speaking the truth
Chapter 39When they arrived home, all Emmy did was freshen up and lay down on the sofa.She did not even give Vince his daily massage.Looking at the small, unmoving figure on the sofa, Vince shook his head and lay down on the huge bed.Ever since they left the shooting site, he realized that Emmy was not herself.He thought that it was about money but yesterday she had given him a free massage, and today she did not even bother to do it, meaning it was not about the money.He had no idea how to find out because Emmy was not willing to talk about it.The weekend passed by quickly and it was already a Monday. Since Emmy had classes that day, she left early without having breakfast with Vince.Vince looked at the spot where Emmy always sat and it was empty. Looking at the table full of dishes, he suddenly did not feel like eating.He only drank a cup of coffee before he left for work.At the Glory World Group of Companies, inside the CEO’s office…Vince could not concentrate on his wor
Chapter 40Vince stopped the car at a red light. He looked at Emmy and softly called out her name, “Emmy.”Emmy turned her head to look at the man. Before she could say anything, Vince held her face and forcefully placed a kiss on her lips.Emmy’s eyes widened as the blood in her body stopped flowing.They were in the middle of the road with so many cars around them, what did Vince think that he was doing?Was he out of his mind?Vince bit on Emmy’s lips before he let go.He stared at Emmy and spoke in a ruthless tone, “What did I tell you I would do to you when you mentioned your sister’s name?”“What? You!”“Do you want it again?”When Emmy heard that, she shrunk in her seat.This man was showing his perverted side again.“You pervert!”It was as clear as daylight that he liked Lynn, so why the hell was he kissing her? It was not like she had said anything wrong with her earlier statement.When he heard her call him a pervert, Vince smiled. He spoke, “You should thank God that we ar
Chapter 187Old Mrs. Roberts was almost in tears as she looked at her son, “My dear son, are you okay?”Leo looked at his mother with tears in his eyes. 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
Chapter 186A few days had passed, and Daniel had not received any positive feedback from Layla. He was on the verge of losing his mind.“Layla, what is your father saying? 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. Andrew took the phone and spoke in a cold voice, “You bastard, are you forcing my dau
Chapter 185At the hotel…Layla took a shower. Thinking about what had transpired, she could not help but cry out in pain. 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
Chapter 183With the Roberts family intervention, the scandal surrounding Lynn was quietened down. 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. He wa
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
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 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
