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.

    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 86“Damn it!” Emmy cursed angrily.“I have kept her marriage intact for three years while she has been fooling around with gigolos? And now she wants to claim her title as Mrs. Young? Does she not have any shame? What is Vince to her?”“Emmy, you don’t have to feel upset about anything. Lynn has always been like this.”“Lynn is the youngest pianist in the country, and she has the Sharma family backing her up. That means she can do whatever she pleases without giving a damn about anyone. As for Vince, he just happened to be the victim in all these.”Emmy closed her eyes tightly, her heart twisting in pain. She did not want to hear any more words, so she directly hung up the phone.Emmy was astounded. As she walked back, her mind was filled with Vince’s handsome face.That man was so nice. He did not deserve any of this! What would Lynn gain in doing this?Vince did not deserve to marry a woman like Lynn! He deserved better! He deserved someone who was loyal to him.Seeing that

    Chapter 87If she encountered that man again in Vince’s presence or if he saw him together with Lynn, wouldn’t his heart be broken?Although Emmy had never been betrayed before, since she had never been in a relationship, she knew that it did not feel good for someone to actually toy with your feelings.If Vince were to find out the truth, Emmy did not know how he would react.Having thought of that, she pushed her plate away as she looked at Vince cautiously, “Master Young, can I ask you something?”“Sure,”Emmy selected her words carefully before she asked, “If one day you discover that your wife had not been faithful to you…”Vince narrowed his eyes dangerously. His sharp gaze pierced Emmy’s face like a sharp object, “Emmy, are you cheating on me?”Emmy quickly shook her head, “It is not me.”Seeing that Vince’s expression was getting worse, she immediately clarified herself, “It is just a hypothetical question… you understand, right?”Vince’s sharp gaze did not miss the panic in h

    Chapter 88“What?”Emmy raised her teary face and looked at Vince. She had a hard time believing what she had just heard.Had he really thought things through or was he just trying to placate her?Seeing her hazel eyes widen in shock, Vince laughed softly. He returned to his seat as he spoke, “Come on, stop crying and have your dinner.”Emmy did not move. She continued to stare at Vince, unable to comprehend what just happened.Vince waved his palm in front of her face as he asked, “Is there something on my face? Or am I that handsome that you cannot look away?”Emmy smiled, but her teary eyes did not leave Vince’s expression even for once.She was well aware that she had played a huge part in creating this mess. If she had not accepted to be Lynn’s substitute, then none of this would have happened.And seeing the blood thirst in Vince’s eyes had gone, Emmy was relieved.Since she was directly involved in this matter, she felt that she had to be responsible for Vince in order to preve

I feel like Master Young is living on set. He is here every single day.”Hearing that, Emmy smiled sweetly.“Master Young really loves you. I bet he feels sick if he doesn’t see you for a few hours.”“Hey, Lex, are you here to gossip? Come on, let us get back to work.”“Haha, I think that today I won’t be having lunch!”“Why would you say so, Lex?”“I am already full from all the dog food that you people keep throwing around. I think that I should also find my goddess as soon as possible.”Director Grant had accepted a request from the reporters to do an interview. It would be good if the public knew the progress of the film, as it would also be good for publicity.They arrived in the afternoon, and after interviewing Director Grant and the others, they rushed towards Vince.It was like they were

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

I am so excited that I can’t wait.”“Son, you have done a good job. I am so proud of you.”…At the Roberts family…Lynn had been locked in her room for the past two days. No matter what she did, she was not allowed to leave the mansion. 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. Her father had not come to visit her even once, and she was very tense.Lynn finally heaved a sigh of relief when the servants came to call her, “Lynn, the Second Master wants to see you. Quickly freshen up and head to the living room.”Lynn was excited. Finally, she was getting out of this room. She was going to complain to her father just how inhumane she had been treated for the past few days.Lynn

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. Andrew took the phone and spoke in a cold voice, “You bastard, are you forcing my dau

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

    Chapter 183With the Roberts family intervention, the scandal surrounding Lynn was quietened down. 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

    Chapter 182Lynn was forced out of her room by the members of the Roberts family. 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
