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
Chapter 89Lex rubbed his eyes dramatically, clicking his tongue in admiration.He looked at Emmy and commented, “Lynn, you and Master Young are the epitome of true love. You are inseparable. 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
Chapter 90Thinking about Alexandra’s disgusting grin, Lynn felt her heart tighten in anger.The image of Vince smiling lovingly at Emmy flashed in her mind.She could not even start to compare the two men. Vince was rich and reputable; he was the most handsome man she had ever set her eyes on. Even if he was gay, he was a million times better than Alexandra.If she had known that a day like this would come, she never would have allowed Emmy to marry Vince in place of her.Even if she could not enjoy the marital bliss, she would still be known as Mrs. Young. But now, she could only look on with regret as Emmy and Vince got closer every day.As she was about to burn from anger, Sheila returned. The moment she saw her, Lynn rushed over and grabbed her arm, “Sheila, were Vince and Emmy just flaunting their love because of the reporters, or…?”Sheila glanced at her with derision. She shrugged off Lynn’s hand before she walked to the room, sighing in exhaustion.“Do you think that Vince is
Chapter 91With his eyes filled with rage, he looked at Director Grant, the temperature in the room dropping drastically, “I thought that you were a reputable director. Do you rely on exploiting your actors to build your reputation?”Director Grant’s face flushed. He was left speechless at Vince’s words.Vince was talking absolute nonsense. He had built his reputation based on his talent, but Vince would never understand.Chuckling awkwardly, he waved his hand, “Master Young, Lynn is playing the character of a cold assassin, and for this scene, she has to disguise herself as a…”Vince gave out a cold laugh, “Are you really a top-notch director?”“What?”Director Grant was about to say something when he realized the meaning behind Vince’s words.He panicked as he explained, “Master Young, please don’t be like this. We are only following the script. Look, it is not even too revealing.”Vince did not listen to anything that the director said. He drew Emmy closer to his body before he wal
Chapter 92Vince let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that. Once he got Emmy’s trust, everything that followed would be easier.“Tom, take us to the mall.”Without a word, Tom made a U-turn and headed towards the busiest mall in City A.They went shopping and just as Vince had finished buying clothes for Emmy, his phone rang.He pulled it out from his pocket and after looking at the caller ID, a playful smirk appeared on his face.The moment he answered, the producer’s flattering voice came through the speaker, “Master Young, are you free now? Is it convenient for you to talk?”Vince slipped his other hand into his trouser pocket before his cold voice rang out, “What is the matter?”“Well, I was thinking… the actors have been exhausted from shooting back-to-back for the past few days. I have organized a dinner party to help them unwind; I was wondering if you will be free to attend.”Vince glanced at Emmy who was already on her tiptoes, eavesdropping on their conversation. She eagerl
Chapter 189Emmy and Vince were strolling on the beach when Vince suddenly stripped and fell down. 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
Chapter 188Daniel was excited when the Roberts finally called him. He even took his father along.“Father, we are finally going to become in-laws with the Roberts family. 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
Chapter 187Old Mrs. Roberts was almost in tears as she looked at her son, “My dear son, are you okay?”Leo looked at his mother with tears in his eyes. 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
Chapter 186A few days had passed, and Daniel had not received any positive feedback from Layla. He was on the verge of losing his mind.“Layla, what is your father saying? 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
Chapter 185At the hotel…Layla took a shower. Thinking about what had transpired, she could not help but cry out in pain. 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. He wa
Chapter 181Tom could not take it anymore. He went to Vince and tried to stop him, “Boss, you need to calm down.”Vince did not say anything. He looked at his watch as if he was doing a countdown. 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
