Chapter 60

Nina 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?”

    Chapter 61The next morning…Emmy woke up feeling weak all over. Her body was lethargic and her head was pounding really hard.As Emmy was about to get up, she realized that something was wrong. She turned her head and was so shocked to see Vince sleeping next to her.Emmy widened her eyes as her heart beat fast.Why the hell was Vince sleeping next to her?Feeling that someone was looking at him, Vince suddenly opened his eyes. He leisurely pulled the duvet down, revealing his tantalizing chest.He looked at Emmy and chuckled, “You are up?”Emmy’s hazel eyes widened in shock as she looked at Vince like he was some sought of hooligan. Her voice was hoarse as she asked, “What did you do to me last night?”Vince frowned when he heard her question. He sat up and rested his head on the head bed, revealing his well shaped abs.Emmy felt her cheeks heat up at that sight and she could not help but glare at the man. But it was only for a second before her eyes traveled down there. It was as i

    Chapter 62Emmy opened the wardrobe, stunned by what she saw. It was filled with different kinds of clothes, including bras and women's wear. Her face flushed, and she did not dare look at Vince.Vince chuckled upon seeing the blush on Emmy’s face, “My dear wife, it would ideal to go out while wearing some clothes that was why I had those prepared.”Emmy hurriedly picked up some clothes before she rushed to the bathroom and closed the door with a bang.She could not stand Vince’s teasing.When Emmy put on the clothes, she was puzzled. Although the clothes were bought by Vince, they fit her perfectly as if someone had taken her measurements before buying them.She looked down at herself and almost burst into tears.If she continued to insist that nothing happened between her and Vince last night, then she might be fooling herself.He must have measured her when they were….“No… no… stop it already.” Emmy slapped her head to remove the ridiculous thoughts in her mind.After she was done

    Chapter 63“Yes,” Emmy nodded.Emmy was about to leave when Lisa called her again, "Mrs. Young, aren't you and Master Young supposed to take over the villa at Peachwood together today? Master Young just left. Why didn't you go with him?"Emmy blinked in surprise, "What villa at Peachwood? Lisa, I don’t understand?"Lisa saw her confusion and realized that Master Young must have said nothing to her.She kindly said, "Yesterday Master Young brought you home. When he saw the wounds on your shoulder, he got so angry that he suspended all cooperation with the Sharma family right away. Mr. Sharma and Mrs. Sharma came to make an apology in the rain. Then, Master Young fiercely disciplined them. In the end, Mr. Sharma agreed to give you the villa at Peachwood."Emmy was dumbstruck. The images of Jonathan and Nina coming to apologize flooded her mind. She never expected that the aloof and arrogant Nina would humiliate herself like that.Did Vince do that to avenge her?"Thanks, now I know."Em

    Chapter 64After Emmy left, the two girls rushed to help Velma up.Velma pushed them away in annoyance, "You're useless! Why did you stand by while I was being hit by that bitch?"The girls retracted their hands in frustration. This was their first time dealing with such a situation. Emmy seemed weak, but her actions were brutally aggressive. Anyone would be scared of someone harsher than themselves.Velma, upset, began to cry. She pulled out her phone and immediately made a call, "Dad... I-I was bullied at school!"...Vince gave her a deep gaze then turned his head away, "You're not completely ungrateful."Seeing that his mood had improved, Emmy suddenly thought that Vince had a good temper.That morning, she had made him angry, but he didn't ignore her. Instead, he promptly replied to her messages and even agreed to accompany her to the supermarket. He even drove to the campus to pick her up. Such a man with a good temperament was rare these days. However, it was a pity that he did

    Chapter 65After dinner, Emmy sat contentedly on the sofa. She noticed Vince sitting beside her and smiled, "How was it? I'm not a bad cook, am I?" Vince nodded, "Hmm, not bad."Emmy saw Lisa approaching, leaned on Vince, and asked playfully, "Who cooks better, me or Lisa?"Vince looked at her. She was smiling like an adorable little kitten he raised his eyebrow and smirked, "Of course, you cook better."Emmy was embarrassed, she pulled back her hand and pouted, "You're so tactless! Lisa is here Can't you just say both of us cook well?"Vince reached out and Lisa handed over a big bag of snacks "Ha ha, Missus, when Master Young said that you are a better cook, he was just trying to please you. There is no reason for me to feel unhappy."Emmy laughed awkwardly and changed the subject, "Let's watch some TV shows. We've got nothing better to do."After a glance at Emmy and Vince, Lisa returned to her room, beaming happily as she did not want to be the third wheel.These two had been apa

    Chapter 66"Emmy, you lowly b*tch!"Velma's eyes were red, it was a clear indication that she had been crying. With her shoulders shaking, she looked utterly wronged."You think you've won by manipulating public opinion and driving me out of school? I'll have you know, my father is the chairman of the Collins Corporation. I came to study here just to pass the time. A diploma means nothing to me!""But you, a worthless poor girl. I'll make it impossible for you to find a job in this entire city!"Emmy was completely confused. What was this about public opinion and kicking her out of school? She hadn't done anything like that.At this moment, one of Emmy's classmates, who previously had a fair relationship with Emmy, pulled her sleeve and showed her a video on the phone."Someone got the surveillance video of Velma bullying female classmates in school and posted it online. It has gone viral. Everyone is cursing her for bullying classmates. The school probably has expelled her under the

    Chapter 67Emmy obediently sat down on the sofa. Vince gently applied the ice pack to her face, "Say something if it hurts." Emmy's face was already numb. It was impossible for her to feel anything at this moment.She only felt the ice pack on her face was very comfortable.Staring intently at Vince with her hazel eyes, Emmy discovered that although his face was still gloomy and his words were not friendly, rather commanding, his actions were very gentle.She pouted, somewhat sullenly said, "Aren't you angry? Why are you still taking care of me?"Vince looked at her coldly, "Being angry is one thing, but I can't just ignore you."The harsh tone remained, but Emmy's heart inexplicably skipped a beat.That feeling of anger mixed with indulgence, made her feel somewhat confused and excited.She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt as if she was dating Vince...Her mind was in a mess. She could only see Vince in front of her. Her mind was also full of him. The handsome face re

    Chapter 68Emmy blinked, feeling that Vince's words made some sense.She was already running late for school because she had spent time covering the finger marks on her face that hadn't completely faded Considering that, she didn't resist any further. She opened the car door, got in, took the mask from Vince's hand, and put it on.Seeing her put the mask on, Vince smiled slightly. He looked at them in the rearview mirror, "Don't you think we look like a couple this way?" Following his gaze, Emmy saw their faces wearing matching masks in the rearview mirror. But it seemed like something was missing.As she was thinking that, Vince took out a pair of women's sunglasses and put them on Emmy.After putting them on, he looked in the rearview mirror again. This time, he was pleased, "Now it seems even more like it." Looking at their reflections in the mirror, Emmy had to admit they did look like a couple.But why?Why did Vince drive her to school like this? No matter how she thought about

Emmy quickly went to help him up, but Vince changed the position, and he suddenly knelt on one knee.Emmy was surprised, and she was about to support him when a beautiful ring appeared in her line of sight out of nowhere.Her mind blanked as she looked at Vince, her eyes widened, “What are you doing?”“Emmy, I have been to almost every part of this world. I have interacted with royalties and ordinary people alike. I have seen many beautiful ladies, but you, my dear, you are different. The moment I laid my eyes on you, I knew that I wanted you for life.”“You are beautiful, you are talented, you are kind, you love with your whole heart, how could I not want to spend the rest of my life with you? I never for once searched for love, but you made me effortlessly love you.”“I hear people saying that finding true love in this complicated world is just an illusion, but I found true love in you

Quickly freshen up and head to the living room.”Lynn was excited. Finally, she was getting out of this room.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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
