The Billionaire CEO And His Substitute Wife chapter 75
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 82Emmy was startled, “Vince, what are you doing? The key is still inside.”Not just the room key. Every last one of her belongings were in that room.Vince did not let go off her as he walked towards the elevator, “You don’t have to worry about anything. Tom will bring all your things over.”“Hey, wait… you.”Emmy tried to remove her hand from his powerful grip but her efforts were pointless. Her frustration was reaching another level and how she wished that she could strangle Vince to death.She was furious as she asked, “Vince, what on earth do you think you are trying to do? Let go of me! didn’t you want to find out where your wife is staying? Where are you taking me? What if someone sees us, how will I be able to explain?”“Explain what?”Vince glanced at her, still holding her hand tightly, “In everyone’s eyes, you are my wife, my Mrs. Young.”Calling her his Mrs. Young made Emmy feel as if honey was dripping from her heart, filling her entire body with sweetness.But sh

Chapter 163“Emmy, is dad really alive?” Emmy’s brother asked over the phone.“Yes, Dave, but he lost his memories after waking up. Now, he only recognizes Lynn as his daughter.”Dave was shocked. He knew how important their father was to Emmy. He could just imagine the state she was in right now.“Emmy, I really don’t know what to say to you. I know that you have been waiting for the moment when you will reunite with dad again, I just did not expect that Lynn would be so shameful and do something so disgusting.”“Dave, it is okay. My graduation is coming soon. Will you be present?”“Of course, sis, I am almost done here. Once I come back, I want to find a job so that I can be able to take care of you.”“What are you talking about? I am your older sister, so I am the one who is supposed to be taking care of you and not the other way round.”“Emmy, wait for me to come back. I will make sure that I save you from Vince’s clutches. Just wait a little longer, okay?”Hearing her brother, Em

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
