The Billionaire CEO And His Substitute Wife chapter 53
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 57He had built this empire with his sweat and blood and he could not watch it be destroyed just like that.…At Vince’s mansion…Emmy still had her eyes closed. The doctor had already come over and tended to her.Since her fever was high, he placed her on IVF.Vince sat on the other side of the bed. He gently held Emmy’s hand, transmitting his body’s warmth to her.Looking at the feverish and pale face that was slowly getting back to normal, Vince was so relieved.The doctor said that it was just a fever and nothing more. So, once it came down, then Emmy would be fine.“Emmy, come back to me. You have brought so much light and color into this dull life of mine, so please do not take that away from me. You know, I have realized one thing today, you mean so much to me than I could ever imagine.”Vince spoke as he looked at Emmy tenderly. His gaze was so warm and tender that it spread warmth across the room.After a while, a knock came from the door, followed by Lisa’s voice, “M

Chapter 58Lisa looked at them and spoke, “You both cannot go in just yet.”Both Jonathan and Nina stopped in their tracks. They were puzzled as they could not understand what was going on.The door had been opened but they could not go in. What was the meaning of that?Lisa looked at their animated expressions and sneered. She handed them a pair of disposable shoes and raincoats expressionless, “Master Young said that he does not want you guys to dirty his wife’s house, so kindly put them on.”Jonathan and Nina were dumbstruck. They could not make sense of what was happening.Just how much did Vince despise them?He was not treating them like they were his in-laws.Forget it. The company’s benefits came first than any relationship.Disregarding his self-respect, Jonathan took the shoes and the raincoat and put them on. Seeing that her husband had compromised, Nina could not say anything even if she wanted to.But she promised herself that she was going to remember this humiliation.I

Chapter 59Vince slightly tapped his fingers on the sofa arm. After a deep contemplation, he looked at the two people in front of him and spoke, “Lynn told me that she really likes the villa at Peachwood owned by the Sharma family…”As soon as Jonathan heard Vince, he understood what he wanted.“Mr. Young, the villa at Peachwood is vacant and it has never been occupied. If Lynn really likes it then she can have it.”Nina had a bad feeling when she heard that.Wasn’t the villa at Peachwood the place she was hiding Leo, Emmy’s father?How did Emmy came to know about it? If Jonathan gave her the villa, the she would be in so much trouble.She hurriedly grabbed Jonathan’s hand, “Jonathan, listen to me, you can’t…”Before she could finish her statement, Jonathan shushed her, “Why do you talk so much? Just shut and don’t say anything else.”Jonathan shook off her hand, almost making Nina to fall to the ground, “Why did you not mention it earlier that Lynn likes that villa. If she really lik

Chapter 60Nina was so scared that her legs were wobbly. Was this her last day on earth.Thinking about all the struggle she had to endure for her to reach where she was today, Nina felt like crying.Everything was over!“Quickly come out. You know that Vince has to go back and tend to Lynn.”Vince looked at Nina coldly. From her reaction, he could tell that his guess was right. Leo must be hidden in this villa.He did not want to waste time as he quickly spoke, “Is there anyone inside? I will go and take a look.”Jonathan did not think much as he said, “Yes. There are usually maids cleaning the house. Go ahead and take a look and if you think that it is okay, then Lynn can even move in tomorrow.”He walked over and opened the door using his fingerprint. The two men entered the house while Nina slowly dragged her lifeless body behind them.As she watched the two men climb the stairs, she spoke in a nervous voice, “Jon, no one stays upstairs, is there a need for us to go there?”Vince

Chapter 162The moment the airplane touched the grounds of City A, Emmy felt that she had finally returned to the world of the living.The past few days had been a rollercoaster of emotions for her, and she was exhausted.She had won the competition, thus making her way into the entertainment industry. Her father was still alive, but unfortunately, he did not remember her. He even thought that she was a villain's daughter.“What are you thinking about?” Vince's voice sounded. His voice was the most beautiful thing that Emmy would wish to listen to every day.“I don’t know how, but I want everything that I have experienced for the past few days to just go away. I want things to go back to how it was.”“Come, let us go home. I will help you relieve your stress.”“Really? What will you do?”“You will know when we reach home, okay?”Although the ride home was filled with silence, it was peaceful. Emmy rested her head on Vince’s shoulder, and she soon dozed off.“Tom, slow down the car.”“T

Chapter 161When Emmy left the study room, she did not see Vince around. She did not want to linger around; she immediately headed downstairs.Seeing her come down, Lynn approached her. She had wanted to go and eavesdrop on their conversation, but with Vince standing at the door like knight, she did not dare.“Emmy, have you finished telling your side of the story?”Emmy looked at her without saying anything. Her reaction was enough to tell Lynn that she had failed.“So, did Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma believe you?”“Lynn, when the time comes, don’t say that I did not warn you. Just pray hard that dad does not regain his memories in this lifetime, or else…”“Or else what, Emmy?”“Nothing. Enjoy while it lasts.”Lynn wanted to say something, but Emmy had already left. She gritted her teeth as her eyes turned cold. There was no way she was going to allow Leo to regain her memories. It would be great if he died soon.“Who are you planning on killing?”A deep voice sounded, which made Lynn’s

Chapter 160A servant came over and took Vince and Emmy upstairs. “They are waiting for you in the study room. This way, please.”Emmy suddenly became nervous. What if her father refused to listen to her and chased her away? What would she do?With so many thoughts swirling in her mind, Emmy found herself outside the study room.“Honey, can you wait for me outside? I…”“It is okay, I understand.” Vince nodded as he touched Emmy’s hair. He had no intentions of going inside, anyway.“Thank you.”“I am right here; don’t be afraid.:The moment Emmy entered the study room, she felt stifled by the somber mood.Old Master Roberts was sitting on his chair while Leo was in his wheelchair. As for Old Mrs. Roberts, she was sitting on the leather sofa in the study room, her gaze glued to Emmy.Emmy looked at them and respectfully bowed her head. After what had happened earlier, she had no idea how to face her dad.Old Master Roberts looked at her and asked in a cold voice, “What are you doing here

Chapter 159As the celebration was going on inside, a sleek Lamborghini quietly parked outside the gates of the Roberts family.Emmy had calmed down a lot, and even the tears on her face had dried up.“Darling, why are you not driving inside?” Emmy asked when she saw that Vince had stopped all of a sudden.Vince took a deep breath before he drove towards the gate. Although he dreaded this place, and it was the last place he would ever want to come, for the sake of his wife’s peace of mind, he had to drive through the gates.They were stopped at the gate, but after hearing Vince’s identity, the security quickly let them in.The Roberts family elders and Leo were also informed of their arrival, and they quickly gathered in the study room.“Leo, you said that you had met Emmy earlier. What exactly did she say?”“Nothing much, Mom. I don’t know, but the moment I saw her, I felt a jolt in my heart, something that I did not feel the day I saw Lynn.”“Of course, it is normal for you to feel

Chapter 158Outside the hotel…Emmy stood before her father, feeling nervous.“Dad, is that really you? I have been looking for you all over. I thought that I lost you.”Thinking about everything that Emmy had done to him, Leo looked at her coldly, “Who are you calling dad? Emmy, when will you stop being pretentious?”Emmy’s eyes widened in shock. She had not expected such a response from her father. “Dad, what are you talking about? I am your dearest daughter, Emmy. Don’t you remember me?”“It is true that I don’t remember. But I know all the despicable things you did to me. You can drop your innocent act, it is very disgusting.”Emmy cried. She could not believe her ears. Was this the same Leo with whom they had been through a lot together? Was he the same father who had always patted her back and told her to never give up in life, that good things took time?Vince had gone to the car. He returned and saw Emmy crying, and his face instantly turned cold.“Honey, what happened?”Emmy

Chapter 157Vince was Emmy’s number one fan. The moment she pressed the last key, he started to clap hard as he happily cheered.His claps brought everyone back to their senses, and there was thunderous applause all over the room.Even Leo clapped hard as a faint smile appeared on his withered face. He did not want to be told who Emmy’s teacher was. She had really mastered everything. She was even on a higher level than he was when he was at her age.Lynn almost beat her lips off. She had been excited when Emmy had started to play the piano. She even thought that Emmy was handing the victory over to her. She had not expected this turn of events.Emmy was a witch! Now, even her dad was clapping for her.He was even smiling, and she had not seen him smile for her after she was done playing.She clenched her hands tightly, her long nails digging into her scalp that it almost bled.She had planned on using the fact that Emmy copied her song to disqualify from the playing the duet. She had

Chapter 156The moment Leo saw Emmy, he felt a strange emotion in his heart that he had never felt the day he saw Lynn.It was not hatred nor dislike. It was the kind of emotion a father would feel towards his child after not seeing her for a long time.Even after everything that Emmy had done to him, why did his heart palpitate when he saw her, and why did he not have negative feelings about her?Could Lynn have been mistaken?Anyway, since she dared bully his daughter, he was going to teach her a lesson. He had vowed to protect Lynn, and he was not going to sit still and watch her be bullied.The competition began on a high note. Since today was the final day, everyone was giving their best shot.The first four participants did their best, and they received a lot of compliments from the judges. Their skills had also improved by leaps and bounds over the past few days.As always, Lynn was arranged to perform before Emmy. When it was her turn, she stood up and gracefully walked to the

Chapter 155At the competition venue, since today was the final, the organizers had invited a few influential people from the entertainment industry.When they heard that Leo Roberts would be attending, everyone revealed shocked expressions.Leo Roberts was not just another household name. He had once been an icon in the music industry, but he disappeared without a trace when his career was at its peak.But now that he had resurfaced, those who never had a chance to meet him were filled with awe.“Where has Leo been all these years?”“I heard that he only recently returned to the Roberts family. He got into an accident and lost his memories of more than twenty years. He had just regained consciousness a few days ago.”“That is bad. No wonder he just vanished without a trace.”“He was a genius back then, and a lot of senior people still remember him. I heard that Lynn is his daughter, and he is especially coming to support her.”“That was why she had improved leaps and bounds since the

Chapter 154Emmy woke up early in the morning, feeling refreshed. After she returned last night, she did not practice. She showered, ate her dinner peacefully, and retired to bed without touching the piano.She had realized that Lynn must have found their dad, but she could not understand the tricks Lynn had used to make their dad accept her.What pained her the most was the fact that her dad had not even reached out to her even once.Or maybe Lynn was blackmailing him again.But regardless of the reason, she had to make sure that her dad came out of hiding today, and that would happen only if she wins today’s competition.“Feeling good?” Vince asked as he opened his eyes to look at Emmy.“Yes. I had a good sleep, and I feel refreshed.”“Are you ready for the day?”“Yes.”“My people have been gathering information, and by the end of the day, we will know what exactly is going on with your father.”Emmy smiled as she hugged Vince. She smooched him on the lips before she spoke in a spoi
