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 100He really liked teasing her, didn’t he?Emmy held his hands and acted like a spoiled brat, “Darling, come on. Just tell me if you won or not.”The smile on Vince’s lips widened. He glanced at her, “How about you guess? If you get it right, I will give you a reward.”Emmy was frustrated. How was she supposed to guess that? If she had an inkling of what had transpired, she would not be this anxious.Although she had not seen Bradley play, from how he had bragged and with the director saying that he was some kind of champion, she could at least rate his game.As for Vince’s level of skill, she was utterly clueless.She had dominated the game the last time they had played against Ben and Jay. She hadn’t had a chance to witness Vince play pool which was why she was freaking out.“Darling, you know that I am not really good at guessing. How about you just tell me, huh?”Vince only laughed without disclosing anything. He was really enjoying this clingy Emmy. She was making his he
Chapter 101Vince was caught off guard. He did not mean to belittle women, especially Emmy. He simply believed he had an upper hand in playing a game like pool against a woman. But given Emmy's infuriated look, he had to reconsider his statement.After thinking through, a devilish smirk appeared on his handsome face, "All right, I accept. But you know, there's no fun in playing a game without betting.""That is definitely right!" Emmy's hazel eyes looked up in excitement, "If I win, you will owe me two hundred dollars and if you win, I will give you the same."Vince was aware Emmy was in need of cash. She needed the money to pay for her father's medical bills and her brother's tuition. So, there was no way he was going to take a dime from her.He pursed his lips, a hint of understanding in his expression, "If you win, I'll give you the two hundred grand. But if you lose, you don't have to pay me. Instead, I have a request that I need you to fulfill."A requestEmmy pursed her lips in
Chapter 102On the other, Sheila sat on the couch in her room and watched Lynn across the room. Lynn’s face was alternating between anger and smugness over something on social media, and Sheila almost puked in irritation."Lynn," she called out to her, “considering the situation at the moment, you should step back and let Emmy take over and finish shooting the rest of the film."Hearing her, Lynn abruptly lifted her head. Sheila had already concealed the irritation in her eyes, so Lynn did not see anything.She did not read between the lines, but frustration bubbled up within her, "Sheila, why? The marks on my body are fading. A bit of concealer can cover them now, and they're nearly invisible without it."She had been staying in the walls of this hotel for days to hide the love bites on her neck, and she almost went crazy. And now that the marks were almost gone, Sheila was telling her that Emmy should finish shooting the whole film. Doesn’t that mean that she was being kicked out of
Chapter 103Emmy did not have many scenes, since the important ones had already been shot. She sat in the resting area as she attentively observed Sophia and the male lead passionately acting out their scenes, eagerly learning from them.After a while, Vince entered the set. However, unlike his usual routine of seeking out Emmy the moment he arrived, he walked directly toward Director Grant.Once Director Grant finished filming the scene, he immediately turned around, beaming at Vince, "Master Young, I am glad that you are here!"Vince's deep eyes, usually cold when facing outsiders, lacked warmth even in his voice."Is it possible for Lynn's scenes to be completed within the next few days?""What?"Director Grant was taken aback by Vince’s sudden statement. He thought about it carefully before he answered, "Master Young, this might be a bit complicated. After all, Lynn is the second female lead."Vince's gaze darkened instantly, his cold tone interrupting Director Grant, "I just need
Chapter 104The luscious grin on Alexandra's face was evidence of his evil intentions.Emmy’s heart was filled with panic. Although she had been training relentlessly, she knew that she would never match up to Alexandra’s strength. As for Vince, she knew that he was unaware that she was in danger.Despite everything, she still managed to maintain her cool.She also knew that Alexandra was a scumbag and if she continued to resist, she would only be feeding his ego.Emmy changed her tune, "Alexandra..." She softly called out his name, "Can you be gentle? You are hurting me.?"Alexandra was taken aback. Why did Lynn change all of a sudden?Was she flirting with him?A glimmer of confusion flashed in his eyes as he looked at Emmy, taken aback, "What did you say?"Emmy puckered her cherry lips as she pointed at her left hand, "You're so strong. It hurts."It was only then doing Alexandra noticed the bruised and twisted state of Emmy's wrist. He was holding her tightly and her wrist turned
Chapter 105Emmy sat on the ground, her eyes filled with tears, and looked icy cold as she glared at Alexandra."Alexandra, if you dare touch me, I'll bite my tongue off. I'll make sure you suffer for the rest of your life and never see the light of day!"Alexandra was shocked. He hadn't expected "Lynn" to be so determined and unforgiving.The previous times... Lynn had fought back, and she had seemed somewhat reluctant but he had always succeeded. But now, "Lynn" threatened to take her own life?He looked closely at Emmy's face. The unyielding look in her eyes sent a chill down his spine.But then he remembered how Emmy had tricked him earlier and he calmed down.Who in their right mind would bite their own tongue?Just because he wanted to have sex with her? She might that he was too naïve.He held evidence against Lynn, and he knew she couldn't get away from him.Once he got used to the pain in his body, Alexandra slowly got up from the ground, a cruel smile smeared on his face,“L
Chapter 106Vince cradled Emmy as they made their way into the car. She clung to him, sobbing quietly. Vince held her close his lips pressed together, his eyes cold and hard.Tom, their driver, didn't ask any questions, sensing the tension. The car ride was silent, broken only by Emmy's occasional sniffles.Soon, they reached their hotel. Vince carried Emmy from the car into their room despite her protest that she could walk by herself.Once inside, Vince laid her gently on the bed, his eyes scanning her for any signs of injury. "Are you okay? Do you feel any pain?" He asked.Emmy shook her head, "No." Seeing his worry, she reached out her arms to reassure him, "I'm okay. Look, I'm fine."Vince sank next to the bed, letting out a sigh of relief. His lips remained pressed together, a sign he had more to say, but for the moment, he stayed silent.They were like two statues, sitting on the bed in total silence, neither brave enough to break it.Finally, Emmy let out a sharp breath, pierc
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
