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 99However, the filming did not go as smoothly as Emmy had anticipated. There were many mistakes and they had to redo scenes over and over again.Emmy touched her head in frustration, “Oh no, I will not make it in time.”Sheila, who was sitting beside her consoled her, “Emmy, I am sure that they have not yet started. I bet that Vince would wait for you to go there before the game starts.”Emmy was still unsettled. Everything started because of her and how could she let Vince face the enemy alone?Plus, she had not been able to properly witness Vince play pool, so she had no idea about the level of his skills.She really wanted to be there and witness everything. She did not care if Vince lost because she would not be the one to be humiliated, but she could not miss to celebrate Vince’s victory in case he won.She wanted to be the first one to hug him and congratulate him on his victory.“Sheila, come on. Since I am done shooting let us get going.”As Emmy said that, she picked
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
