Chapter 67

Emmy 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

    Chapter 69Sarah shook Emmy's arm excitedly,"Emmy, you're unbelievable! Yesterday they were still talking behind your back in school, and today you've brought your boyfriend to the school gate to shut them up. You are so cool!""I suddenly admire you so much! No wonder you said you weren't afraid of anything yesterday. You had a ready solution to shut them up!"Emmy was a little taken aback. She suddenly seemed to understand Vince's actions today.So he drove her to school in such a flashy car and called out her name on purpose, just to support her and keep those people's mouths shut?Vince wanted everyone to know that she wasn't being kept by an old man, but was in a romantic relationship with a young and handsome rich guy.In that case, no one in school would dare to gossip about Emmy anymore.After all, who among the school's students would dare to cross someone even big shots like Benjamin were afraid of?Feeling sweet, Emmy smiled a little.

    Chapter 70“I..."Emmy suddenly widened her eyes. She couldn't help but cover her heart with her palm and muttered to herself, "I didn't just lose my body. I lost my heart too?"Thinking about that, she immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Sarah."Sarah, what are the signs of falling in love with someone?"Before long, Sarah replied."Emmy, aren't you in a romantic relationship right now? Don't you know whether you're in love with him or not? Alright, let me tell you, if a woman is in love with a man, she'll become possessive, suspicious, and also worried about losing him. Check if that's the case with you."Possessive?Emmy didn't think she was possessive.Suspicious? She didn't seem that way either.Worried about losing him? Not!Emmy patted her chest and took a deep breath out, "Thank goodness, I haven't lost my heart. I'm so scared!"Just as she thought of that, her phone buzzed again. It was Sarah's other message."If you're uncertain about what I said before, the

    Chapter 71In the evening, Emmy picked up her phone and found out that she had once again received spam messages. There was still no reply from Vince.She didn't know what she was looking forward to, or rather what she was disappointed about. But overall, her mood was terrible.The next day, Lynn, dressed in a beautiful aqua-blue dress with delicate make-up on, arrived at the opening ceremony for their film shooting.Director Grant warmly approached her, "Lynn, let me introduce you to the leading actress for this film."After that, Director Grant called out to a girl, "Sophia!"Sophia turned around. Her clean and pretty face was very pleasing to the eye. Most importantly, her white t-shirt, light blue jeans, and white sneakers were a youthful outfit starkly contrasting Lynn's formal dress.At a glance, Lynn was embarrassed Today, all other actors were dressed casually while she was the only one who dressed formally. It made people misunderstand that she was attending an awards ceremon

    Chapter 72 Alexander's sudden appearance also surprised Sheila. If she had known that the second boss of this film was Smith Media, she definitely wouldn't have let Lynn accept this job. Unfortunately, it was too late. The only option left was to figure out a solution. "How about..." Sheila's eyeballs rolled around and she came up with an evil idea, "Lynn, doesn't Emmy look a lot like you? Let Emmy deal with him, or you can talk to him beforehand to see what he wants. If he says he wants you, then let Emmy go instead." "After all, even I can't tell you two apart once Emmy puts on makeup, let alone him." Lynn glared at her in frustration, "Do you think Emmy will cooperate with me?" "It's easy." Sheila grabbed Lynn's hand and patted it to comfort her, "Just pour half a kilogram of liquor into her. She won't know anything. Or we can get her to take some kind of drug. You know..." Lynn's anxiety finally began to subside. As she thought more about Sheila's idea, she found it to be a

    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.

    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 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

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

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.

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.

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
