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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    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

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

He could tell that Emmy was truly terrified from how much she was trembling.Emmy was sobbing hysterically. She could not believe that she had just escaped death. Or maybe she was in the afterlife, and she was imagining that Vince had come to save her.Emmy could not take the pressure anymore, and she ended up fainting in Vince’s arms.Vince held her as if he were holding a precious gem.

He had a grave expression on his face, and it looked like darkness was befalling the earth.He really had to applaud the person who had the guts to abduct Emmy. At least, they will get the chance to experience Vince’s wrath.“Boss, the car carrying Missus was headed to the outskirts of the town. According to the information we just received, there is a notorious gang residing there. I think they are the ones who took Missus away,” Tom reported the information to Vince.“Find her exact location as soon as possible. Also, contact the local police and some media personnel. Didn’t they want to cause a sensation about my wife? I will give them a taste of their own medicine.”“Yes, boss.”Vince clenched his fists tightly. He only prayed that Emmy would be safe, or else, he would never forgive himself if any harm came to her.The cars wheezed on the busy road, and they were soon headed towards the outski
