Chapter 8

Emmy was stunned by the sudden voice. She turned around but before she could give any explanation, she heard some noise on the other end of the phone as if someone was nervously hanging up the call.

That means that Lynn must have heard Vince’s voice. Thinking of how nervous her sister must be at the moment, Emmy could not help but give a small smile.

She never knew that she would see a day when Lynn would be afraid of someone.

Emmy looked at the man and not wanting to hide anything from him, she raised her phone and spoke in a calm voice, “I was speaking to your real wife, Lynn.”

Hearing her words, Vince furrowed his eyebrows. He walked over to Emmy and wrapped her in his arms, then whispered, in a low voice, “I don’t want to hear such words or the consequences will be dire.”

Emmy felt uncomfortable by the sudden hug. She wanted to protest but after hearing his words, she did not dare do anything. She knew exactly the threat that his words carried.

    Chapter 9Emmy stopped in her tracks. She did not know what was wrong with this man, or what exactly he wanted from her.Last night, they had shared the bed because she was ‘Lynn’ at that time. And now that he knows the whole truth, why was he still troubling her?Damn it! She just wanted to get some rest.Emmy slowly turned around and looked at the man, a frown forming on her beautiful face. She asked, displeasure evident in her voice, “What do you want?”Vince lazily leaned against the headboard, quietly admiring her displeased face. After a while, he asked, “You are not on your period, right?”Emmy looked at the man without saying anything. When the man had cornered her yesterday, she had said that she was on her period, but it was just a lie. She was not about to sleep with her brother-in-law. The part of sleeping with him was not included in the agreement.Feeling irritated by the fact that he was asking her about something so irritating, she spoke, “Yes, you are right. I am not o

Emmy was confused for a moment since she did not know what she had done wrong.She looked at the man who was approaching and asked alertly, “What are you doing?”Vince did not stop in his tracks. Emmy felt the danger approaching so she retreated, trying to avert the looming danger in the name of Vince.The more she moved back, the faster Vince approached.Before she knew it, she heard a bang sound, and her back felt a little pain. She had reached the end of the road, and now she was sandwiched between the metallic gate and Vince, who seemed to have no intentions of stopping.When Vince reached her, he placed his hands on the iron gate, successfully cornering Emmy so that she had no way of escaping.Feeling like she could not breathe, Emmy called out the man, “Vince, what do you think you are doing?”At the mention of his name, the beast inside Vince seemed to have been awak

    Chapter 11It was close to ten, and everyone had gathered in Death Valley, except for Emmy.Death Valley, as the name suggests, was a road with a very deep slope. Many accidents had occurred in that place, and it was feared by people.The only people who dared to use that road were the street car racers, the likes of Emmy.A man in a custom-made suit, with gold chains hanging around his neck, leaned lazily on his luxurious sports car, as he smoked his imported cigarette.After he was done, he looked at Kev and asked in an annoyed voice, “You bastard, didn’t you say that there was someone to challenge me? Where is that person, huh?”Kev was sweating profusely. Summer had never been this late. What could be the problem? Could she have gone to rent the car, and they have refused to give it to her?But she sounded so confident over the phone. In fact, she was the one who suggested that he organize for this race.Now, his head was hanging on the line, ready to be chopped off by this rich br

I bet she does not know who she is dealing with. How dare she challenge the City’s racing King? Is she for real?”William waved his hand when he heard everyone. He was behaving as if he had already won the race, and looking at the crowd cheering for him, he spoke, “After this race, I am going to treat everyone to drinks.”“Yay, William is the best!”“Wow, I never knew that I would have the chance of sharing a drink with the great William.”“I think that we need to thank this woman for being foolish.”William, feeling like everything was under control, looked at Emmy one more time before he arrogantly walked to his sports car.Emmy did not say anything. She coldly smirked, entered her car, and drove to the starting line. She could not waste her time dealing with these fools. She believed that acti

    Chapter 13When Nancy heard that, her heart sank. Although she knew that William was a scoundrel, she did not expect that he would go back on his words so fast.Kev had a bad premonition when he heard that. Although he had somehow expected William to behave like that, he did not want to get Emmy in any kind of trouble.He looked at Emmy’s beautiful face, and after a while, he gathered the courage to ask, “Summer, what should we do now?”Emmy did not say anything to Kev. She only pushed him behind her and stood in front of William in a defiant posture.Raising her chin slightly, she asked William in an almost mocking tone, “William, Sir, can’t you handle a little loss?”When William heard that, he smirked as he laughed in disdain. He looked at Emmy stated, “Young girl, while I was making a name for myself as the king of car racing, you were still sucking on your mother’s breast. So, your intimidation won’t work on me.

An ominous feeling overwhelmed him just by looking at Vince’s smiling face.Still holding William in his hands like he was a punching bag, Vince formed a fist and threw a punch in William’s face.William’s face became numb all of a sudden as his mouth was filled with blood.Before he could spit out the blood and the many teeth in his mouth, another punch landed on the other side of the face.Vince was already in his maniac and he was not showing any mercy. Every time an image of William holding Emmy’s hand appeared in his mind, he punched even harder.After a series of punches and finally feeling that he had vented his anger, Vince left William in a devastated state. He was so injured that he could not tell black from white.William was thrown on the ground with a thud, and Vince did not even look at him.

Despite everything, she had still stayed faithful to him for the last three years.That meant that she was not someone who could compromise her dignity just for anything.Vince took his wallet, which had been lying quietly on the bedside table, and removed a credit card. He went over to Emmy and handed it to her.He spoke as he stared at Emmy, “You know that car racing is just like any other gambling game. There is winning and losing. Aren’t you afraid that you are putting yourself in jeopardy with your already very difficult situation?”When talking about car racing, Emmy became excited.

    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

    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 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 74Alexandra’s hand hung awkwardly in the air as Vince had no intention of shaking it. He gave out a dry laugh before he retracted his hand. 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

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.
