Chapter 68

Emmy 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 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 74Alexander'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 an excel

    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 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

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.

    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

    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
