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 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. He looked at h
