Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 183
Yvonne quickly grabbed the laptop she had bought with her and downloaded the picture. Then, she used an analytical software to inspect the picture.What she found had surprised her.“Yvonne, what does it say?”Upon noticing Yvonne falling into a pensive silence, Kelsey could not help but grow agitated.Yvonne seemed flustered.“Kels, do you want to eat something first?” She suggested.She was worried that Kelsey would not have any appetite to eat anymore after she discovered the truth.Kelsey was not in the mood to eat anything now.“I don’t feel like eating. Hurry up and tell me already, is the photo edited?” She frantically grabbed Yvonne and demanded an answer.Yvonne sighed and shook her head. “It wasn’t.”“What?” Kelsey was petrified.She yelped in astonishment.How could this be?Was this photo not edited?Was Tyler with Zara that night?“Are you sure?” She pressed again for an answer.A troubled look surfaced in Yvonne’s eyes. “Yes.”Kelsey's eyes were immediate

Yvonne heaved a sigh of relief.“That's right! Come on, eat something first, then we’ll go shopping together!” She tried to distract Kelsey.Kelsey kept her head down and ate silently. She vowed to herself that she was going to get to the bottom of this no matter what.After they ate, Yvonne took her to a nearby shopping mall to shop.Kelsey was enamored with one of the dresses in a boutique store they passed by.“Let's go inside and take a look!” Yvonne led her inside.The clerk went up to attend to them. “Hello, how may I help you?”“My friend here would like to try on the dress over there.” Yvonne gestured at the dress Kelsey was interested in.The clerk briefly sized them up before removing the dress from the mannequin and handing it to Kelsey.“Miss, you have great tastes! The new arrivals in our store this season are all designed by Cecil, an internationally renowned designer. These are all limited edition.”Cecil?Kelsey was taken aback.Cecil was a renowned designer

Yvonne felt like she was about to explode with rage upon hearing this.How dare they publicly humiliate them for being poor?Such an act could not be tolerated!She was this close to running up to them to argue with them, but Kelsey stopped her.Kelsey did not seem upset. Instead, she remarked with a smug grin, “Were you talking about the markets two streets down? How do you know they sell counterfeit branded products though? Is it because you shop there often? That sure explains why you are fitted out in counterfeit brands!”Everyone in the store immediately turned to stare at Mia upon hearing this.They would not have thought to inspect what she was wearing if it was not for Kelsey blatantly pointing it out.Upon closer inspection, they realized that most of what Mia was wearing were not genuine branded products.Yvonne rolled her eyes and mocked her. “Imagine insulting us when you’re the one who buys counterfeit branded products!”“You...you…” Mia had no way to retort and s

Kelsey watched silently as Mia trotted around the store, picking out dresses to her heart’s content.Then, she turned to the clerk with a beaming smile. “Go on and scan all of these and bring the invoice to Ms. Quest! Thanks to her generosity, you don’t have to worry about your sales target this month anymore!”The store manager immediately sprang to action and ordered the clerks to bag everything and get started on tallying up the total purchase.Soon, the store manager returned with an absurdly long invoice and brought it to Zara. “Ms. Zara, the total comes down to forty-five million dollars, I assume you will be paying with a card?”Zara was baffled.For a second, she doubted her hearing. "How much did you just say they cost?”The store manager smiled politely and repeated. “Ms. Quest, it’s forty-five million dollars for everything.”Zara frowned and immediately blurted out, “Why do they cost several million dollars?”Were they ripping her off because they knew she was a cel

There was no way she was going to get a reimbursement for a dress that cost forty million dollars.Zara was not impressed by the statement and glared at the assistant. “Keep your mouth shut!”The assistant was upset but simply lowered her eyes and stayed silent.All she wanted to do was remind Zara about the terms.“Quit yapping already, are you buying it or not?” Kelsey asked impatiently.Zara clenched her jaw tightly.She would not suffer being humiliated by Kelsey because of a dress.“I am Zara Quest! There is nothing I want that I cannot have!”She threw off her sunglasses at this point and shot a taunting look at Kelsey.The dress was not the only thing she wanted, she wanted Tyler as well.Then, she marched forward and tried to snatch the dress from Kelsey.Kelsey released her grip and allowed the dress to fall to the ground.“If you want it that much, go ahead and pick it up yourself!”There was an unmistakable mark of sarcasm in her voice.Zara turned pale with ho

“There is nothing I need to tell you.” Zara was very stubborn.Kelsey snorted and suddenly released Zara’s wrist.Zara tumbled to the ground, the display drew gasps from the bystanders.She was completely disgraced.“Ms. Quest, are you okay?” The manager hurried forward to help her.Zara’s assistant and bodyguard surrounded her as well.“Zara, are you okay?” Mia, who was still picking out clothes, had run up to her to attend to her.With all of them helping her, Zara managed to get back on her feet.Then, she glared at Kelsey. “I’m not done with you!”Kelsey smiled coyly. “Sure, I’ll wait for you!”Before Zara could continue taunting her, Mia had already started mouthing off at Kelsey while gesticulating wildly.“This woman has been harassing my cousin, what are you waiting for? Kick her out of the store! Someone like her doesn’t deserve to step foot in your store in the first place, it’s ruining the impression of your brand!”Upon hearing this, several clerks cast hateful

Mia haughtily pointed right at Kelsey. “You must be Mr. Thomas, you came just in time! She’s Kelsey Young! Not only did she throw the dress Zara wanted to the floor, she even assaulted Zara and shoved her to the floor! We want you to kick her out of the store and put her on the blacklist so she can never come back in here again!”Mr. Thomas immediately went up to Kelsey and addressed her very respectfully, “Ms. Young, are you okay?”Kelsey shook her head.Everyone else was flabbergasted.Had Mr. Thomas lost his mind?Why would he be concerned about Kelsey’s safety at all?“Mr. Thomas, did you nor hear what I just said? She was the one who had been harassing my cousin, Zara! She knows she can’t even afford the clothes here and has been bothering me and Zara since we stepped in here…” Mia did not relent on her barrage of accusations.Mr. Thomas ignored her and summoned the store manager to him. “What’s the situation here?”Needless to say, the store manager took Zara and Mia’s si
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 190
Kelsey was just as confused as any of them.When did she acquire the brand?How did she not know about it?“How is that possible?”Zara’s voice turned shrill. She voiced her suspicions quite boldly, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken? She can’t even afford a single dress from your shop, how did she somehow acquire the entire brand?”There was no way she was going to believe this!Perhaps they were hired actors!“What do you mean I can’t afford it?”Kelsey would not allow Zara to slander her anymore. She produced a black card from her bag and handed it to the clerk who previously attended to her.“Use this card, I’m buying the dress she wanted!”The clerk did a double take before coming to her senses and taking the card from Kelsey.Everyone else, from the manager to all the other clerks in the store, were so bewildered that their eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.There was no mistaking it. Kelsey had just produced the iconic, highly exclusive black diamond card fr

It was upsetting enough for Kelsey since Charlie managed to deceive her once more. However, Megan had to gloat. “What did I tell you? I told you Charlie can’t afford this place. He can’t even show his face because he’s expected to pay the bill.” “Oh, quit it!” Kelsey glared at Megan. To think Kelsey would give her an attitude. Megan had Steve on her side now. She was no longer the other woman who lived off Charlie’s good graces. Surely, Megan earned the right to mock Charlie. “You’re the manager. Has St. Gills lost its exclusivity? It’s a disgrace that you let just about anyone in,” Megan said sarcastically. Kelsey retaliated. “Oh, aren’t you a picture of poise, Megan? With your sugar daddy, you can’t even make it past security.” “You!” Megan looked daggers at Kelsey. Livid, Megan commanded the manager, “Throw the bitch out now before I’ll make sure your establishment ceases to operate.” The manager narrowed his eyes on Kelsey and Megan. Judging by Kelsey’s mod

“Kelsey, what are you doing here?” Megan asked harshly.With Megan and Steve approaching, the manager drew close and welcomed them. It then dawned on Kelsey that Megan and Steve were the VIPs who took the private lounge from Charlie. The manager explained the situation, and Megan sneered. “Charlie is going broke. I doubt he can afford to dine at St. Gill’s. With his mounting debts, he’s embarrassing himself when the time comes to pay the bill.” Kelsey narrowed her eyes. Charlie must be using Susan’s birthday as a pretext to ask for more money from Tyler since the family business was going bust. However, Tyler had given Charlie a large sum of money. It was puzzling how Charlie managed to burn through it. Kelsey snapped back with a smirk. “Even so, Charlie is paying with his own money, unlike some people who can’t live a day without a sugar daddy.” Color drained from Megan’s face. Kelsey was basically calling her a gold digger. Megan would not be in this position in th

Kelsey and Rosette discussed the specifics of auditioning for Adrienne’s new film’s costume design role.As the time neared noon, Kelsey glanced at her phone. Tyler had not replied to her text message. It was nearly time for Susan’s birthday celebration at St. Gill’s. Kelsey decided to go ahead to St. Gill’s. While on the way, she gave Charlie a call to inform that Tyler would not be available for the celebration. Charlie’s voice reflected his disappointment. “What’s this? Why can’t Tyler make it?” Kelsey bit the bullet and explained, “I haven’t been able to reach him.” “I thought Tyler adored you. Why couldn’t you get in touch with him? Did you upset him?” Charlie grilled her. Kelsey refuted, “Things have been going well for us, thanks for asking. He has an emergency today.” Her bond with Tyler could not be stronger. Heck, they nearly went all the way this morning. The nerve of her father to put her down. Charlie was furious. “I knew I couldn’t count on you.” He

Kelsey frowned. “What are you up to now?” She doubted Charlie was so nice to want the family to be together for her grandmother, Susan’s birthday. It was probably an excuse to get close to Tyler. Since Charlie got together with Megan, Kelsey could count on her finger the number of times he had been to the nursing home to visit Susan. Kelsey could not remember the last time Charlie celebrated Susan’s birthday. Charlie could not even remember Susan’s birthdate. Yet, Charlie was so kind to throw her a party. Kelsey could only suspect that Charlie had ulterior motives. “How can you say that about me, Kelsey? I’m your father. Am I wrong to throw your grandmother a birthday party?” Charlie reprimanded. Kelsey was skeptical. “You’re not wrong, but…” It was uncertain whether he had Susan’s interest at heart. “But what?” Charlie asked. He started blaming himself. “I know that I listened to Megan and neglected you and Mom. I’ve gotten rid of her. Now, I just want to be a go

With a predatory glint in his eyes, Tyler pressed his lips against Kelsey’s.“I’ll take your silence as your consent.” “Hang on!” Kelsey pushed him away. She meant business since it was about his sleepwalking last night. “I have a question.” “What is it?” Tyler asked in a raspy voice, his lips still lingering across her skin. His hands eagerly pulled her gown off her. “Do you sleepwalk?” Kelsey asked. Tyler paused, his eyes bearing a weight of emotions. Kelsey knew she was right on the money. Tyler had known about his sleepwalking. “Did you know you were sleepwalking last night?” Kelsey said while fixating earnestly on him. She was more concerned about his health. Tyler seemed healthy. Yet, he wandered off in a sleeping state. Judging by Tyler’s response, it was not his first rodeo. Generally speaking, sleepwalking was associated with trauma or unresolved issues. Kelsey suspected that Tyler had been through some kind of trauma, or something in his past wa

Tyler opened his eyes abruptly. Bare and dominant, he loomed above Kelsey while his penetrating gaze looked deep into her soul.Lost in the heat of his kiss, Kelsey opened her eyes in confusion at his sudden pause. She met his profound gaze. Kelsey’s heart skipped a beat. Her breath hitched. She stared at the man towering over her in disbelief, her eyes bulging. Tyler was awake. He examined her, his eyes scouring every inch of her body. Once he was certain that it was Kelsey, Tyler was relieved. “I’m home, babe,” he uttered with a sigh of relief. Feeling assured, he closed his eyes and rested his head on her shoulder. He filled his lungs with her familiar scent. Kelsey was taken aback, but her head gradually cleared. She thought that Tyler would not stop their little bed activity. However, Tyler stayed in the same position for a while. His steady breathing came soon after. He fell asleep. Kelsey was in disbelief. Since he wanted her so badly, Kelsey ass

Worried, Kelsey followed Tyler in case he hurt himself or fell off the stairs. He was not in a conscious state after all. Kelsey would not be so abrupt as to wake him from his sleepwalking. She was aware that waking a sleepwalker could lead to shock or other health problems.Kelsey stuck close behind Tyler and made sure he got up the stairs safely. Tyler returned to their bedroom and lay on the bed. Kelsey drew close for a look. The soft moonlight streamed through the French windows, casting a hazy glow over his defined face.Tyler lay there motionlessly, his eyes closed.Kelsey watched him sleep tenderly. For a moment, she drooled over him. However, she quickly frowned at the smell of alcohol on Tyler. Kelsey went to open the window to let in some airflow, dispersing the fumes of liquor. She then picked out a fresh pair of pajamas from the closet for Tyler.Tyler would need a change of briefs too. However, Kelsey’s cheeks burned when she pulled his brief draw

Kelsey returned to the villa she shared with Tyler. She intended to tell Tyler how her day with her best friend had gone. Charles was somehow caught in the crossfire. Yvonne’s mother-in-law accused her of having an affair with Charles which did a number to his reputation. Kelsey wanted to ask Tyler about his opinion on returning Charles’ favor. Since Charles was Tyler’s childhood friend, Tyler must know him best. However, Tyler had business plans to attend to, so he would not be home for dinner.Kelsey was alone in the upstairs bedroom, occupied with all related matters involving her new business venture. Since Kelsey and Rosette were going to audition to design costumes for Adrienne’s new film, Kelsey felt it was essential to study the genre of the new film and Adrienne’s past fashion choices. Time passed. By the time Kelsey shut her laptop, it was eleven at night. Rising to her feet, she stretched and walked out of the bedroom. Kelsey was on her way downstairs

“I’m sorry, Kelsey. I’m sorry to ruin lunch,” Yvonne murmured. Kelsey put her arm around her shoulder. “Why are you apologizing to me? Charles told me what he needed me for. It’s okay to skip lunch.” She paused and looked at Yvonne, her head tilted. “But Yvonne, you seem to have changed.” “How so?” Yvonne asked with a raised brow. “You’ve become composed and cunning now.” Kelsey said with admiration, “But it’s a good thing. I don’t want you to be Adam and his family’s doormat. You didn’t marry him to be his slave.” Yvonne curled her lips. “I’ve been through a lot, but I’ve learned a lot too. I had to learn from my mistakes.” She used to walk on eggshells around her husband and mother-in-law. She gave them too much leeway, and they walked all over her. In the future, Yvonne would not be so dumb as to let others hurt her again. She needed to stand up for herself. … Kelsey dropped Yvonne back home. Before, Yvonne would cry to Kelsey for hours after Agatha humiliated
