The Billionaire CEO And His Substitute Wife chapter 49
Chapter 49Emmy only removed her head from the duvet after being sure that Vince had left the room.She lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, sadness written all over her face.Today was the day she would be getting her life back. She was about to leave this place for good, so how could she be happy?Although they have had their fair share of fights, Emmy knew that Vince was a good person deep down. It was just that he liked to let his ego control him so much.He had been good to her. He gave her lots of gifts, and yesterday, he gave her all the money that he had won against Ben.Emmy hated to admit it but she was going to miss Vince so much.But thinking of how she was finally going to be reunited with her father, the sadness in her heart dissipated a little.Emmy got up from the sofa and headed to the washroom. After freshening up, she packed the little things she had accumulated over time in the suitcase.While she was packing, she remembered the box that Old Master Young had g

Chapter 50Vince listened without saying anything. He walked to the master bedroom and pushed the door open.The bedroom had a smell of freshness that had not been there when he left in the morning. The bed was neatly made and even the sheets and the duvet had been changed.His eyes traveled to the coffee table, where he saw a box, car keys, a credit card, several bags, and shoes, all neatly arranged.Vince’s expression became frosty. Except for the family heirloom that his grandfather had given to Emmy, everything else was the gifts he had given her.The anger in his heart burned as the temperature in the room dropped.Lisa, who was standing at the door did not dare go in nor did she dare say anything. She had never seen her master this angry for a long time now.Vince clenched his hands and pursed his lips in a thin line. He walked to the wardrobe, and upon opening it, he saw that half of it was empty. Emmy had cleared her things out. He closed the wardrobe door with a bang and walk

Chapter 51What Emmy said seemed to make a lot of sense that she did not have any words to retort.Whether Emmy just enjoyed showing off or whether she really cared about Lynn’s image as a celebrity, standing her ground and refusing to back down was beneficial to Lynn.But still…Sheila’s voice softened a bit, but she was still rude, “Emmy, you know everything that happened last night had already gone viral on the internet. Everyone is marveled at Lynn’s endless talent and she has even received a generous offer from one of the famous directors.”When Emmy heard that, she felt as if she was about to be trapped. She interrupted Sheila, “Wow, that is so great. Congratulations to her.”“Emmy, but the problem is, Lynn’s role requires someone who has vast knowledge in pool and other table games. What do you think?”Emmy pointed at herself as if she could not understand what Sheila was saying, “What, me? What do I think?”Emmy was not a fool. She had already seen through them from miles apar

Chapter 52Nina stopped upon hearing Sheila. If she injured Emmy, then she would use that excuse to not help Lynn out and that might affect Lynn’s career.She pointed at Emmy with the stick that she had been using to hit her and said venomously, “Emmy, I want to promise you that if you don’t do as we say or if you try to act smart, I will make sure that the useless man you value as a father will stop breathing, and I will make sure that I get someone to break your brother’s legs.”Emmy trembled when she heard that.Apart from her father, she also had a brother, but they were not biologically related. Her father had just picked him up from the streets and brought her home. Even though they were not related, Emmy still loved her brother dearly.She also knew that Nina was ruthless and she would do exactly as she had said if she did not agree.Emmy could not bear to lose her father. He was the sole reason she was fighting to stay alive every day.Emmy looked at her mother, her heart turn

Chapter 53Ever since she was a little girl, the thing that Emmy had longed for was her mother’s love. She longed for her mom’s embrace, but she had never been as lucky as Lynn.To her, maternal love was a luxury that she could only dream of.Emmy’s mind was foggy and even with the rumbling thunder, she did not register anything. In between thunder and lightning, she continued to aimlessly walk on the road with no clear sense of direction.It was not long before the heavy downpour started. Emmy did not care as she straddled the road, letting the rain drench her from head to toe.There weren’t so many people on the road and only a few cars passed once in a while.…Vince rushed out of his mansion while he continuously dialed Emmy’s number but he could not get through.She had switched off her phone and Vince had no idea where to start looking for her.His anger and frustration were almost at its peak. He took out his car and drove towards Lynn’s villa at a high speed.A lot of thoughts

Chapter 54Emmy had no strength left in her body. When she heard Vince say that he was taking her home, she could only nod her head, “Hmm.”Emmy watched him as he sat in the driver’s seat, ready to take her home. Her heart was in turmoil and it was no different from the weather outside. Every drop of the rain seemed to sink deep in her heart, creating a chaotic nature.Emmy was well aware of the fact that she had married Vince only as Lynn’s substitute. She was nothing more than Lynn’s replacement. Her shadow, to be precise.With just a single word from Lynn, she would have to get out of Vince’s life for good.For the past few days, Emmy had found herself gradually losing control over her heart. Every time Vince treated her well, she found herself falling for him a little harder. The feelings in her heart were so terrifying that Emmy did not even want to think about it.Vince fastened his seat belt and turned to look at Emmy. Feeling his gaze on her, Emmy hurriedly closed her eyes.Ma

Chapter 55The image of Emmy walking in the rain like she had lost all the will to live kept on replaying in his mind.She was walking so aimlessly that even if a careless driver had been on the road, then…Vince shook his head to remove the scary thoughts in his head.He touched his clothes which were still wet and remembered how Emmy had cried so brokenheartedly. His gaze was filled with darkness and his bloodthirsty nature that he had kept locked away was threatening to surge forth like a hurricane.Even though Emmy had not said anything, he had pieced one and two together and realized that it was the day she was supposed to switch back with Lynn.Instead, they bullied his wife and even injured her. Vince clenched his hands into fists. He was not a nice person, and he had never even tried to be nice. He was going to make sure that anyone who laid a hand on his wife paid the ultimate price.From where he was standing, he could see the pained look on Emmy’s face. He could tell from a

Chapter 56Sheila paused. She looked at Lynn and a scheming look flashed through her eyes, “I am sure that once Emmy starts filming, Vince will go and pay her visit. How about you use this opportunity and lay a trap for Vince?”“What do you mean?” Lynn was confused as she had no idea what her manager was talking about.“I mean, you make a plan and do something. If you sleep with him first, Emmy would not be able to do anything.”Lynn looked at Sheila in surprise, “Sleep with him?”“Yes, Lynn. We don’t know what is really going on between those two, and we sitting here and guessing is pointless. Emmy was provoked so much today, and what if in a state of anger, she decides to sleep with Vince just to get back at you?”Lynn thought for a moment and realized that what Sheila said made sense. If she were Emmy, she would not have resisted throwing herself at someone like Vince. She was even starting to wonder if her sister was normal, or if she was just playing tricks.Nina’s words must hav

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
