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 17Emmy clutched the card, and although she was feeling conflicted, she really needed the money. And since this man was willing to throw it at her, then she was going to accept it. She would think about the consequences later.Seeing that she had finally accepted the credit card, Vince’s mood lightened a bit. He let go of her hand and prepared himself to return to bed.Emmy watched as he walked back. She looked at the card and having remembered something, she asked, “What is the password for the card? You haven’t told me.”When Vince heard that, he did not turn around as he answered, “Your sister’s birthday date.”Emmy, “…”This was so humiliating. Couldn’t he be any nicer?She was forced to take the card, and the password turned out to be her sister’s birthday.It was only natural that Vince would consider Lynn in everything he did, even putting her date of birth as his password. And she was just a shadow, a mere replacement, so why was she feeling as if there was a lump stuck
Chapter 173Luck seemed to be on Lynn’s side because when she arrived home, she heard that one of the great families was holding a birthday party.She went to Layla and spoke to her, “Layla, I have just heard that the Johnson's have organized a birthday party for their grandson, will you be going?”Layla was sharpening her nails. She looked at Lynn and replied, “How can I miss it? Cate is my best friend, and I cannot miss it even if I want to.”Lynn moved closer to her and held her arm. She affectionately called her, “Layla, you know that I have just joined the Roberts family, and I don’t have a lot of friends yet. Could you please take me with you?”“And why would I take you with me?”“Layla, come on. I see you as my sister. I just want to make friends, just like you. I have never been to such a party, and I would like to see how it is done.”Layla thought about it before she spoke, “The party will be held this Friday at the Pear Hotel. I will see if I can get an extra invitation for
Chapter 172Few weeks had passed since Jonathan and Daniel visited the Sharma family. They had already gotten a few deals with them and their business was blooming.Jonathan looked at his son and instructed, “Son, I think that it is time to put your other plan into motion.”Daniel nodded, “Yes, Dad. I was just thinking about the same thing. I think that it is time to call my ‘sister’ again.”Daniel went to his office and dialed Lynn’s number. The moment the call connected, Lynn’s irritated voice came through the phone, “Daniel, I have done everything you asked me to, what else do you want from me?”Daniel laughed, “Relax, little sister. Can’t I even call to check up on you?”“Who is your little sister? What else do you want from me?”Lynn was not a fool. She did not have a close relationship with Daniel, so there was no way he would call just to check up on her.He must be up to something.He had been using her to force the Roberts family to sign several business deals with them that
Chapter 171“What can I do to make you let go of my sister?” Dave asked as he looked at Vince.Vince almost laughed out loud after hearing his question. No one had ever spoken him like that. This boy had some guts!“And what makes you think that I will let go of my wife?”Dave clenched his teeth as he looked at Vince like he was some kind of a hooligan, “I know that you don’t love my sister. She only married you in place of Lynn and the person you love is Lynn. Please, go and get your wife and let go of my sister.”“Boy, you don’t know what you are talking about.”“I know everything. Emmy told me and I know that she will never lie to me.”“Hmmm. Did she also tell you that she loves me?”“Impossible. My sister would never fall in love with someone like you.”At this moment, Vince could not help but laugh. Looks like this boy’s thoughts were not innocent after all.“I did not call you here so that we could discuss whether your sister loves me or not. I called you here because I have a f
Chapter 170Vince looked at Dave as his gaze turned ice-cold. Who did he think he was?“Don’t be ungrateful.” With those words, he quickened his steps and followed his wife upstairs.One thing he hated was seeing his wife sad. It had taken him a lot of effort to cheer Emmy up after what had happened in the Roberts' house, he was not going to allow someone else to trouble his wife, even if that person was her brother.The rest of them only came back to their senses after Vince had left. Ben wiped the sweat off his forehead as he looked at Dave like he was a lunatic, “Bro, I never question any of your decisions, but I must say, you have really fucked up this time around.”“What just happened?” Levi asked.Simon looked at Dave and spoke, “I think someone was just being ungrateful right now. Bro, was that really necessary?”Dave did not react when he was being reprimanded by his friends. He stood there with a blank face as if he could not register what just happened.Simon went near him a
Chapter 169“Wow, you look so beautiful. You don’t look like an older sister at all. Instead, you look like you are younger than us.”No woman would refuse such sweet compliments. Emmy pursed her lips as her face blushed shyly.Being called beautiful was probably the best comment every woman would want to hear about herself.“Come on, if we stay any longer, we will be stuck in traffic and we will not make it home on time. Let us get going.” Emmy spoke.The four boys followed, and she led them to her Rolls Royce that was parked not so far away.The moment they saw the luxurious car, Levi, Ben, and Simon screamed out loud.“Oh, my goodness, is this really a Rolls Royce? This is my dream car.” Levi spoke, almost in tears.As for Dave, he was not as excited as his friends. Upon seeing the car, he frowned in displeasure.“Sis, where did you get this car?”“Your brother-in-law gave it to me after he returned from abroad. I have had it for close to four months now.”“Hmmm.” Dave nodded witho
Chapter 168“Lynn, are you okay? What happened?” Leo asked Lynn the moment she returned to the dining table.“Dad, I am okay. My tummy was hurting me so bad a moment ago, but I am all good now.”“Are you sure? Should I call a doctor for you?”“There is no need for that. It is something that happens often, so I am already used to it.”Lynn looked around and pretended to ask, “Uhm, where is Daniel? Has he left already?”“No. He said that he wanted to use the washroom, so he was escorted out by the servant.”“Hmm…”“Don’t worry, Lynn. I have already called security, and they will be here to throw them out at any moment.”Lynn touched her nose awkwardly when she heard that. She would have been extremely happy if it had happened, but now…She looked at her father and waved her hand dismissively, “Dad, it is alright. We don’t have to throw them out anymore.”“What?” Everyone from the Roberts family was stunned. They looked at a Lynn as if they could not understand what she just said.Lynn l
Chapter 167Daniel could not stand to see his father be insulted by Lynn. After spending their resources on her for over a decade, she was now shamelessly throwing them under the bus.And looking at everyone from the Roberts family, they seemed to be falling for her act.He took out his phone and tapped on it. Soon, Lynn’s phone rang with a notification. She paused in her act, took out her phone and checked it. Seeing that she had received an attachment from Daniel, Lynn frowned and looked at him.But Daniel was so busy typing away on his phone that he did not pay any attention to her. Before she could open the file that Daniel had sent her, a message came in.“Don’t act all smart, Lynn, I know all of your secrets. You either help us, or I show the Roberts family the real you.”Lynn’s face paled when she read the message. What could Daniel have against her? Could it be related to the file he had sent her?Lynn quickly downloaded the file that Daniel had sent and opened it.It was a vi
Chapter 166Lynn touched her nose awkwardly when her father called her out. She did not know what to say.Jonathan and Daniel had come in with a lovely attitude, and if she said that they had mistreated her, then she would be seen as a liar. And if she said that they had been good to her…Well… they had been indeed good to her, and Jonathan had spoiled her like his own daughter. But when she had been of no use to him, he had chased her away and taken everything away from her without batting an eyelid.Lynn would be lying if she said that she did not resent Jonathan.With all eyes on her, Lynn did not know what to say.Seeing that she had remained quiet, Jonathan became tense. If Lynn spoke anything bad about him, he would not spare her, even if she was now the daughter of the Roberts family.“Lynn, have you forgotten all those years? I used to take you and your mother to many fun places even before we officially became a family. You loved going to the theme park. Have you forgotten?”
Chapter 165“What did you just say?” Leo looked at his assistant and asked.“The Sharma family reached out. Jonathan Sharma and his son, Daniel, want to have a word with the Roberts family.”“Who do they think they are? After everything they did to my daughter, they still have the nerve to talk to us? Just how thick is their skin?”“Young Master, what should I tell them then?”“Tell them that we don’t have the time to entertain them.”After five minutes, “Sir, they said that you would be making a huge mistake if you did not meet with them. They even threatened to go the police and file a case of kidnapping against the Roberts family.”“How dare they?”“Leo, just invite them over. You don’t have to feel bad about it. You can’t deny that they took care of your daughter for more than a decade.”“Dad…”“I know that ever since Emmy came here, you have your doubts about Lynn. Maybe the Sharma family coming over might help clear the confusion in your heart.”“Okay, Dad.”“Leon, invite them o
