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 83If Emmy had rejected her in the past, Sheila would surely have shouted at her. But this time, she did not get angry. A friendly smile hung on her lips as she spoke, “Emmy, you don’t have to reject me so soon. At least, listen to what I have to say first.”Sheila patted Emmy on the shoulder as she continued, “If you help me and stand in for Lynn for the next one week, I will do everything in my power to make sure that you reunite with your father.”Emmy’s gaze changed as she looked at Sheila. She pointed at her and asked in an almost shaky voice, “What do you mean?”“You know as much as I do that every time you bring up your father’s topic, Lynn always finds a way to avoid it. And every time she agrees to give your father back to you, something always comes up. But if you do this for me, I promise to follow up on the matter and see the end to it.”Emmy fell silent when she heard that.Regarding her father’s matter, Lynn had indeed gone too far for the past three years. Emmy
Chapter 84Emmy woke up feeling refreshed. She had not had such a good sleep for the past three years. She stretched out her hands, and her palm landed on a hard object. Emmy suddenly opened her eyes and turned around.What she saw made her eyes widen in surprise. She looked around and realized that she was on a huge bed and the person lying next to her was none other than Vince.The first thing that caught her eyes was his uncovered chest. Emmy realized that when she stretched a while ago, she had accidentally touched his chest.Her face turned red as her gaze moved upwards. It stopped on his lips as the images of what had transpired the previous night flooded her mind.She could not imagine that she had wantonly kissed Vince, and she had even shared a bed with him. Oh God, she was so damned. Things were now starting to get out of control.She had already slept with Vince once, and now this!Emmy hurriedly got out of bed. This time, she had to destroy the evidence before Vince woke u
Chapter 85“Ha ha ha, you don’t have to be polite with me. It is my duty to make sure that everything on set flows smoothly.”Emmy did not flatter the director. She listened attentively to everything that the director told her without missing a bit.Director Grant truly lived up to his name. After listening to her, even a novice like Emmy had a clear picture of what was expected of her character.She was also glad that Lynn’s character was a female assassin, so most of the time, she would be a wearing a blank expression on her face.Filming started soon after Emmy felt that she had mastered a thing or two. Since she was a newbie and coupled with the fact that Vince was around, Director Grant did not dare make things difficult for her.Emmy was a quick leaner. She also had a photographic memory and it was hard for her to forget something as long as she had set her eyes on it.It was her first time filming but her action scenes were remarkable and what was most surprising was that, she
Chapter 173Luck seemed to be on Lynn’s side because when she arrived home, she heard that one of the great families was holding a birthday party.She went to Layla and spoke to her, “Layla, I have just heard that the Johnson's have organized a birthday party for their grandson, will you be going?”Layla was sharpening her nails. She looked at Lynn and replied, “How can I miss it? Cate is my best friend, and I cannot miss it even if I want to.”Lynn moved closer to her and held her arm. She affectionately called her, “Layla, you know that I have just joined the Roberts family, and I don’t have a lot of friends yet. Could you please take me with you?”“And why would I take you with me?”“Layla, come on. I see you as my sister. I just want to make friends, just like you. I have never been to such a party, and I would like to see how it is done.”Layla thought about it before she spoke, “The party will be held this Friday at the Pear Hotel. I will see if I can get an extra invitation for
Chapter 172Few weeks had passed since Jonathan and Daniel visited the Sharma family. They had already gotten a few deals with them and their business was blooming.Jonathan looked at his son and instructed, “Son, I think that it is time to put your other plan into motion.”Daniel nodded, “Yes, Dad. I was just thinking about the same thing. I think that it is time to call my ‘sister’ again.”Daniel went to his office and dialed Lynn’s number. The moment the call connected, Lynn’s irritated voice came through the phone, “Daniel, I have done everything you asked me to, what else do you want from me?”Daniel laughed, “Relax, little sister. Can’t I even call to check up on you?”“Who is your little sister? What else do you want from me?”Lynn was not a fool. She did not have a close relationship with Daniel, so there was no way he would call just to check up on her.He must be up to something.He had been using her to force the Roberts family to sign several business deals with them that
Chapter 171“What can I do to make you let go of my sister?” Dave asked as he looked at Vince.Vince almost laughed out loud after hearing his question. No one had ever spoken him like that. This boy had some guts!“And what makes you think that I will let go of my wife?”Dave clenched his teeth as he looked at Vince like he was some kind of a hooligan, “I know that you don’t love my sister. She only married you in place of Lynn and the person you love is Lynn. Please, go and get your wife and let go of my sister.”“Boy, you don’t know what you are talking about.”“I know everything. Emmy told me and I know that she will never lie to me.”“Hmmm. Did she also tell you that she loves me?”“Impossible. My sister would never fall in love with someone like you.”At this moment, Vince could not help but laugh. Looks like this boy’s thoughts were not innocent after all.“I did not call you here so that we could discuss whether your sister loves me or not. I called you here because I have a f
Chapter 170Vince looked at Dave as his gaze turned ice-cold. Who did he think he was?“Don’t be ungrateful.” With those words, he quickened his steps and followed his wife upstairs.One thing he hated was seeing his wife sad. It had taken him a lot of effort to cheer Emmy up after what had happened in the Roberts' house, he was not going to allow someone else to trouble his wife, even if that person was her brother.The rest of them only came back to their senses after Vince had left. Ben wiped the sweat off his forehead as he looked at Dave like he was a lunatic, “Bro, I never question any of your decisions, but I must say, you have really fucked up this time around.”“What just happened?” Levi asked.Simon looked at Dave and spoke, “I think someone was just being ungrateful right now. Bro, was that really necessary?”Dave did not react when he was being reprimanded by his friends. He stood there with a blank face as if he could not register what just happened.Simon went near him a
Chapter 169“Wow, you look so beautiful. You don’t look like an older sister at all. Instead, you look like you are younger than us.”No woman would refuse such sweet compliments. Emmy pursed her lips as her face blushed shyly.Being called beautiful was probably the best comment every woman would want to hear about herself.“Come on, if we stay any longer, we will be stuck in traffic and we will not make it home on time. Let us get going.” Emmy spoke.The four boys followed, and she led them to her Rolls Royce that was parked not so far away.The moment they saw the luxurious car, Levi, Ben, and Simon screamed out loud.“Oh, my goodness, is this really a Rolls Royce? This is my dream car.” Levi spoke, almost in tears.As for Dave, he was not as excited as his friends. Upon seeing the car, he frowned in displeasure.“Sis, where did you get this car?”“Your brother-in-law gave it to me after he returned from abroad. I have had it for close to four months now.”“Hmmm.” Dave nodded witho
Chapter 168“Lynn, are you okay? What happened?” Leo asked Lynn the moment she returned to the dining table.“Dad, I am okay. My tummy was hurting me so bad a moment ago, but I am all good now.”“Are you sure? Should I call a doctor for you?”“There is no need for that. It is something that happens often, so I am already used to it.”Lynn looked around and pretended to ask, “Uhm, where is Daniel? Has he left already?”“No. He said that he wanted to use the washroom, so he was escorted out by the servant.”“Hmm…”“Don’t worry, Lynn. I have already called security, and they will be here to throw them out at any moment.”Lynn touched her nose awkwardly when she heard that. She would have been extremely happy if it had happened, but now…She looked at her father and waved her hand dismissively, “Dad, it is alright. We don’t have to throw them out anymore.”“What?” Everyone from the Roberts family was stunned. They looked at a Lynn as if they could not understand what she just said.Lynn l
Chapter 167Daniel could not stand to see his father be insulted by Lynn. After spending their resources on her for over a decade, she was now shamelessly throwing them under the bus.And looking at everyone from the Roberts family, they seemed to be falling for her act.He took out his phone and tapped on it. Soon, Lynn’s phone rang with a notification. She paused in her act, took out her phone and checked it. Seeing that she had received an attachment from Daniel, Lynn frowned and looked at him.But Daniel was so busy typing away on his phone that he did not pay any attention to her. Before she could open the file that Daniel had sent her, a message came in.“Don’t act all smart, Lynn, I know all of your secrets. You either help us, or I show the Roberts family the real you.”Lynn’s face paled when she read the message. What could Daniel have against her? Could it be related to the file he had sent her?Lynn quickly downloaded the file that Daniel had sent and opened it.It was a vi
Chapter 166Lynn touched her nose awkwardly when her father called her out. She did not know what to say.Jonathan and Daniel had come in with a lovely attitude, and if she said that they had mistreated her, then she would be seen as a liar. And if she said that they had been good to her…Well… they had been indeed good to her, and Jonathan had spoiled her like his own daughter. But when she had been of no use to him, he had chased her away and taken everything away from her without batting an eyelid.Lynn would be lying if she said that she did not resent Jonathan.With all eyes on her, Lynn did not know what to say.Seeing that she had remained quiet, Jonathan became tense. If Lynn spoke anything bad about him, he would not spare her, even if she was now the daughter of the Roberts family.“Lynn, have you forgotten all those years? I used to take you and your mother to many fun places even before we officially became a family. You loved going to the theme park. Have you forgotten?”
Chapter 165“What did you just say?” Leo looked at his assistant and asked.“The Sharma family reached out. Jonathan Sharma and his son, Daniel, want to have a word with the Roberts family.”“Who do they think they are? After everything they did to my daughter, they still have the nerve to talk to us? Just how thick is their skin?”“Young Master, what should I tell them then?”“Tell them that we don’t have the time to entertain them.”After five minutes, “Sir, they said that you would be making a huge mistake if you did not meet with them. They even threatened to go the police and file a case of kidnapping against the Roberts family.”“How dare they?”“Leo, just invite them over. You don’t have to feel bad about it. You can’t deny that they took care of your daughter for more than a decade.”“Dad…”“I know that ever since Emmy came here, you have your doubts about Lynn. Maybe the Sharma family coming over might help clear the confusion in your heart.”“Okay, Dad.”“Leon, invite them o
