Chapter 41The moment they entered the club, the manager came over running with a flattering smile on his face.“Master Young, your usual place has already been prepared. Please, this way.”Emmy was looking around with a lot of curiosity. This was the first time she had stepped foot in such a place, but nothing was as she had envisioned.It looked so ordinary that Emmy was even wondering if they had walked into the right place.They passed through a large dancing arena, and then some private karaoke rooms. There was a stylish, well-furnished bar that followed after the karaoke rooms, and there was a singer on the stage entertaining people.Emmy blinked her eyes in surprise. Everything she had heard about nightclubs and whatnot was all a lie. She spoke to herself softly “Is this really a nightclub? It seems to have everything, and all kinds of entertainment are actually here.”Although her voice was low, Vince still heard her. He looked at her and chuckled, “You are mistaken, this is a
Chapter 42“You know, Vince and I grew up together, so I know him like the back of my hand.”“Hmm, I understand.”Seeing that Emmy was actively participating, Ben felt encouraged. He continued, “You know we have been so close ever since we were young and because of our close relationship, and his cold attitude towards women, people started saying a lot of nonsensical things. That we are a couple, I don’t like men, all of that is not true.”Seeing that Ben was trying so hard to prove a point, Emmy nodded with a knowing smile, “Ben I get your point.” She looked at Vince and continued, “You guys love each other like “brothers”, so I get it honestly.”Ben felt like something was not right when he heard Emmy. Why did he feel like her words had some hidden meaning in them?“Lynn, do you want to know why Vince has always been so disinterested in women?”“Yeah, of course. Who wouldn’t want to know about such juicy news?”“Ha ha okay, let me tell you. It was…”After saying those words, Ben fel
Chapter 43The woman Ben had brought over sneered when she heard Emmy’s conversation with Vince. She spoke in a cold voice, “Lynn, aren’t you flying too high already?”Emmy looked toward the source of the voice. The woman was stylish and tall, almost the same age as Emmy.She was looking at Emmy with a taunting gaze as if she was looking at a clown.Emmy frowned. She was certain that she had never come in contact with this woman, so she did not understand why she was being targeted for no reason.Ben’s eyebrows creased and he looked at the woman standing next to him, “Jay, watch your tongue. This is my brother’s wife, don’t be rude.” Jay smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes. She looked at Emmy and scoffed, “Master Ben, Lynn does not need anyone to speak up for her. Her confidence is already on the rooftop.”No matter how slow Ben was, he realized that something must have happened between Jay and Lynn. There was no way this woman would start talking nonsense with someone she h
Chapter 44Emmy winced in pain when Vince pinched her. She laid her head on his chest, enjoying the sound of his heart beating.Jay gritted her teeth as she watched Vince and Emmy acting lovey-dovey in front of so many people. She could not take it anymore.She asked in a cold voice, “Do you still want to bet?”Embraced by Vince’s powerful arms, Emmy nodded with a smile on her face, “Of course, I am going to bet.”Jay could not stand to watch Vince and Emmy act lovingly in front of her. She picked up the pool cue and turned around, “If you want to bet, then let us get started.”However, Emmy was not in a hurry to begin the match. She left Vince’s embrace, and picked up the cue that she felt suited her before she asked Ben with a smile, “Are you guys going first or should we go?”Ben was embarrassed because this whole issue had been caused by him. If he had not brought Jay over, then none of this unpleasant situation could have happened.Wanting to salvage the situation, Ben stood in f
Chapter 45Emmy flashed Vince a smile. She lightly kicked her leg, and the cue in her hand was stylishly raised. She tilted her head towards the white ball, and with a confident smile on her face, she softly said, “It is time for the show.”Emmy went and stood by the table. After a glance at the balls sprawled all over, she bent over, her cue aimed at the white ball.Everyone nearby stared at Emmy in surprise, “Goodness, are you kidding me?”“Lynn can actually play pool?”As they were still staring, with a “thud”, the white ball flew out from Emmy’s cue hitting the red ball not too far away. It hit the edge of the table and it quickly rolled into the pocket.Everyone’s jaws dropped to the ground, “Damn it! She is neat and good!”Seeing that Emmy could play pool so well, the people around started to argue.“Are we really about to lose our money?”“Who was the person who said that Lynn could not play pool?”As they were still arguing, another “thud” sound was heard and another ball fell
Chapter 46Ben was also displeased by Jay’s attitude. If he had known she was this rude, he would not have brought her over.“With so many balls on the pool table, who could pocket them all without real skills? Jay, if you cannot accept that there is someone better than you out there, that is fine. But how dare you slap Lynn in front of Vince? What had she done to you to deserve that?”The people at the scene nodded when they heard Ben.“You are right, Ben.”“It only takes someone mature to admit that they are in the wrong.”“Lynn is highly skilled, and we have experienced it with our own eyes. We all doubted her at first but she has convinced us with her own skills. Jay, if you cannot even accept defeat, who would dare play against you in the future?”“Will you end up slapping everyone who is better than you?”Jay’s face flushed with embarrassment. She really had dug her own grave.Vince alone was enough to make her tremble in fear. Now all these rich heirs were ganging against her.
Chapter 47Seeing Jay beg for forgiveness, no one felt pity for her. She made the bed with her own hands so she should lie on it.They also understood that if Lynn had been the one in her shoes, she would not have shown her mercy given how bad she had been acting with her.They all looked away, pretending not to have seen anything. They couldn’t speak up for her even if they wanted to because this whole mess was started by her.And the people present did not want to offend Vince because of Jay. No one knew how ruthless Vince was to his enemies better than them.Emmy looked at Jay’s terrified expression and gave out a helpless sigh.She wondered why a woman could be so harsh on another woman. She was also not so naive as she understood that if she had lost the bet, then Jay would have done everything in her power to make sure that she fulfilled the bet.Jay had brought this humiliation upon herself.Although Emmy could not understand why Jay was so mean to her, she could not stand to w
Chapter 48In one of the hotel’s presidential suites…Lynn was wearing sexy lingerie and a butterfly-like mask on her face. Her legs were crossed on the huge bed and she looked very sexy.Sitting on the leather sofa was a young man in an expensive custom-made suit. From how he carried himself, Lynn could tell that he was a man of class and a gentleman.Although he looked like a dream lover of every girl, when compared to Vince, he was nothing in comparison.Lynn was not in the mood to flirt with him. She only wanted to get down to the business so that she could finally attain her title as Mrs. Young and finally kick Emmy out of her life forever.She looked at the man who had been unmoving for a while and spoke in a not-so-nice tone, “Why are you just sitting there, come over.”The man did not walk over. He stared at the butterfly-like mask on Lynn’s face and sneered, “Did I pay two million dollars just to come here and look at a masked face? And you are even ordering me around as if I
Chapter 188Daniel was excited when the Roberts finally called him. He even took his father along.“Father, we are finally going to become in-laws with the Roberts family. I am so excited that I can’t wait.”“Son, you have done a good job. I am so proud of you.”…At the Roberts family…Lynn had been locked in her room for the past two days. No matter what she did, she was not allowed to leave the mansion. Her phone had also been confiscated, and she could not call anyone for help.Although she was being provided with food and everything she needed, she had become haggard due to stress. Her father had not come to visit her even once, and she was very tense.Lynn finally heaved a sigh of relief when the servants came to call her, “Lynn, the Second Master wants to see you. Quickly freshen up and head to the living room.”Lynn was excited. Finally, she was getting out of this room. She was going to complain to her father just how inhumane she had been treated for the past few days.Lynn
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
