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
Chapter 10But it was too late, the man was already furious.Vince walked towards Emmy; fury evident in his eyes. 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
Chapter 12When William's followers heard that, they all laughed out loud as if they had just heard the funniest joke.“Ha ha ha, William, this beauty is giving herself to you.”“Yes, William. 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. Just spend the night with me, and you will get much more than just m
Chapter 14When Emmy saw Vince, she felt tears gather in her eyes. Although she did not like the man as much, she was happy that he had come.But wait, it was not like Vince liked her. What if he stood by and watched her get humiliated, after all, it was none of his business.Vince stopped in his tracks; his gaze focused on Emmy. When he saw William’s fat holding Emmy, anger rose in his heart and his whole aura changed.He instantly raised his hand and his men instantly got the signal. Dressed in black suits with black shades covering half their faces, you could just tell from their walking style that they were not people you could mess with.When William saw the scene unfolding right in front of him, he was so shocked that his jaws almost dropped to the ground.His men, who were about to teach Emmy a lesson had their knees go weak when they felt the dangerous aura coming from Vince’s men.They could even feel death approaching.William did not know why, of all the people, it was Vinc
Chapter 15Vince gave out a sinister smile. Seeing him, William felt that something was not right. 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. His bodyguards handed him a warm, white towel and he elegantly wiped his hands, his
Chapter 16Was she now enunciating that it was his fault, that was why she did not get her one million?But after hearing her explanation, the anger that he had been feeling in his heart quietened down a bit.He had no idea that his wife had been leading such a difficult life. 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. Her eyes lit up as she happily responded to Vince, “Ha ha ha, you may not know this, but I have never lost even a single match
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
Chapter 154Emmy woke up early in the morning, feeling refreshed. After she returned last night, she did not practice. She showered, ate her dinner peacefully, and retired to bed without touching the piano.She had realized that Lynn must have found their dad, but she could not understand the tricks Lynn had used to make their dad accept her.What pained her the most was the fact that her dad had not even reached out to her even once.Or maybe Lynn was blackmailing him again.But regardless of the reason, she had to make sure that her dad came out of hiding today, and that would happen only if she wins today’s competition.“Feeling good?” Vince asked as he opened his eyes to look at Emmy.“Yes. I had a good sleep, and I feel refreshed.”“Are you ready for the day?”“Yes.”“My people have been gathering information, and by the end of the day, we will know what exactly is going on with your father.”Emmy smiled as she hugged Vince. She smooched him on the lips before she spoke in a spoi
