The Billionaire CEO And His Substitute Wife chapter 91
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 93“Hey, stop mocking me.” Emmy pointed at Vince.“I am almost graduating with my PhD and I have been taking care of my father and brother all these years so, I am not simple-minded,” Emmy said as she waved her fists in front of Vince.Vince easily caught her hovering hands. He held them tightly in his palms as he spoke, “Emmy, don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that you are dumb. It is just that when it comes to matters to do with your father, you always forget your brains at home.”As Vince spoke, he pulled Emmy closer to him. Emmy did not resist as she leaned against his chest.He continued to speak, “If I hadn’t taken your phone and read Sheila’s message, you would have rushed over at the speed of lightning only for you to end up being manipulated by her without even realizing it.”Emmy reflected on his words and realized that he was actually speaking the truth.Just at the mention of her father, her emotions would go berserk and she would not even stop to think straight.

Chapter 94What Emmy did not know was the fact that Vince already knew the truth.Looking at her troubled face, Vince could guess what was going on in her mind. She was afraid that he would learn the truth and get hurt, but Vince was already aware of everything.His heart warmed up just thinking about how much Emmy cared about him.He took Emmy’s small hand in his as he laughed softly, “Okay, I give you my word. As long as you are safe, you are not being bullied, or kidnapped, I will not get mad at anything, no matter what is it.”Emmy sighed in relief hearing Vince. She was well aware that Vince would never go back on his word as long as he had promised. She was also glad that he had not pressured her to reveal anything or else, she wouldn’t have known what to say to him.Back at the hotel…Emmy had just left the bathroom when Vince called her over, “Emmy, come here. I have something for you.”Emmy dried her hair as she walked over. When she saw the beautiful necklace in Vince’s hand

Chapter 95Emmy did not have to finish her statement as Sheila understood everything.Emmy was quite the catch. She was beautiful and talented, and now she was with a man like Vince backing her up. If Sheila could manage to sign her, she would not have to toil away her whole life.The more Sheila thought about the money Emmy was going to bring her, the happier she became. She could not help but pay more attention to Emmy.After they got out of the elevator, Sheila looked at Emmy and spoke, “Emmy, whatever happened yesterday was quite unfortunate. From today onwards, if you have any problems or if you face any difficulties, just tell me and I will speak to Director Grant on your behalf.”“Although you are just standing in for Lynn, I now regard you as my sister. Don’t shy away from telling me anything, and I am also sorry for how I treated you in the past.”Emmy beamed as she held Sheila’s hand, “You already said that we are like sisters, you don’t have to apologize. Let us put the pas

Chapter 96Once the director explained it, Emmy understood.She was an easy-going person and she would feel offended unless someone deliberately provoked her.“I understand, director. In that case, let us not waste any more time and get started.”Hearing her, the director waved his hand at the crew, signaling them to get ready.“Emmy, the pool balls have already been arranged. I won’t tire you with the basics since I am sure that you understand. So, here is the thing; according to the script, you have to hit the red ball in the bottom left corner with the cue ball first. Once the red ball has been pocketed, hit the blue ball in the middle pocket, and then the red ball near the center pocket.”“Once the red ball is pocketed, hit the green ball in the semicircle, and finally hit the red ball near the side of the table with a back shot.”The director’s detailed explanation left some of the people bewildered. It was as if they were listening to an alien speak, but Emmy nodded in understan

Chapter 97Bradley stood up angrily while he gripped his cue stick tightly. He looked at Emmy and snapped angrily, “Lynn, do you dare bet with me?”Emmy finally glanced at him. A teasing smile graced her beautiful face, “And why should I waste my energy on you?”“You?”Emmy sneered, “You want to waste my time and energy just because I did not give you a chance to show off?”Bradley face’s contorted in anger when he heard Emmy. He had been in pool game for many years and those around him considered him a legend. How dare “Lynn” talk to him in that manner?His pride as a man was challenged and if he did not teach this woman a lesson today, then his name would not be Bradley.He looked at Emmy with a challenging gaze, “This scene was supposed to be shot yesterday but because of you, it was postponed. I wasted a whole day without doing anything all because of you. Don’t you think that you should compensate me?”Bradley’s audacity made Emmy burst out in laughter. She looked at him and spok

Chapter 98Sheila looked at Vince and Emmy and her face broke into a happy grin. Judging from Vince’s attitude towards Emmy, she could tell that he was fond of her. And from the way Emmy looked at Vince, she could tell that the feelings were mutual.These two were in love with each other and Sheila could not be happier. This was the best thing for her.So, who was Lynn? She had no talent and her beauty could not be compared to Emmy’s. What's more, she could not even successfully seduce a man. There was no need for her to waste her energy on someone like that.With Lynn’s prideful attitude, she was now nothing but trash in Sheila’s eyes.Vince pulled Emmy closer to him, hugging her tightly in his arms. His deep and piercing eyes looked through the crowd, “What is so good about bullying a helpless woman?”He looked at Bradley, and if looks could kill, then his neck would have already been separated from his body, “You want to challenge Lynn, then I will play with you. State your terms.”

Chapter 163“Emmy, is dad really alive?” Emmy’s brother asked over the phone.“Yes, Dave, but he lost his memories after waking up. Now, he only recognizes Lynn as his daughter.”Dave was shocked. He knew how important their father was to Emmy. He could just imagine the state she was in right now.“Emmy, I really don’t know what to say to you. I know that you have been waiting for the moment when you will reunite with dad again, I just did not expect that Lynn would be so shameful and do something so disgusting.”“Dave, it is okay. My graduation is coming soon. Will you be present?”“Of course, sis, I am almost done here. Once I come back, I want to find a job so that I can be able to take care of you.”“What are you talking about? I am your older sister, so I am the one who is supposed to be taking care of you and not the other way round.”“Emmy, wait for me to come back. I will make sure that I save you from Vince’s clutches. Just wait a little longer, okay?”Hearing her brother, Em

Chapter 162The moment the airplane touched the grounds of City A, Emmy felt that she had finally returned to the world of the living.The past few days had been a rollercoaster of emotions for her, and she was exhausted.She had won the competition, thus making her way into the entertainment industry. Her father was still alive, but unfortunately, he did not remember her. He even thought that she was a villain's daughter.“What are you thinking about?” Vince's voice sounded. His voice was the most beautiful thing that Emmy would wish to listen to every day.“I don’t know how, but I want everything that I have experienced for the past few days to just go away. I want things to go back to how it was.”“Come, let us go home. I will help you relieve your stress.”“Really? What will you do?”“You will know when we reach home, okay?”Although the ride home was filled with silence, it was peaceful. Emmy rested her head on Vince’s shoulder, and she soon dozed off.“Tom, slow down the car.”“T

Chapter 161When Emmy left the study room, she did not see Vince around. She did not want to linger around; she immediately headed downstairs.Seeing her come down, Lynn approached her. She had wanted to go and eavesdrop on their conversation, but with Vince standing at the door like knight, she did not dare.“Emmy, have you finished telling your side of the story?”Emmy looked at her without saying anything. Her reaction was enough to tell Lynn that she had failed.“So, did Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma believe you?”“Lynn, when the time comes, don’t say that I did not warn you. Just pray hard that dad does not regain his memories in this lifetime, or else…”“Or else what, Emmy?”“Nothing. Enjoy while it lasts.”Lynn wanted to say something, but Emmy had already left. She gritted her teeth as her eyes turned cold. There was no way she was going to allow Leo to regain her memories. It would be great if he died soon.“Who are you planning on killing?”A deep voice sounded, which made Lynn’s

Chapter 160A servant came over and took Vince and Emmy upstairs. “They are waiting for you in the study room. This way, please.”Emmy suddenly became nervous. What if her father refused to listen to her and chased her away? What would she do?With so many thoughts swirling in her mind, Emmy found herself outside the study room.“Honey, can you wait for me outside? I…”“It is okay, I understand.” Vince nodded as he touched Emmy’s hair. He had no intentions of going inside, anyway.“Thank you.”“I am right here; don’t be afraid.:The moment Emmy entered the study room, she felt stifled by the somber mood.Old Master Roberts was sitting on his chair while Leo was in his wheelchair. As for Old Mrs. Roberts, she was sitting on the leather sofa in the study room, her gaze glued to Emmy.Emmy looked at them and respectfully bowed her head. After what had happened earlier, she had no idea how to face her dad.Old Master Roberts looked at her and asked in a cold voice, “What are you doing here

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
