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

    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

    Kelsey was immediately obsessed. Every single piece looked wonderful on her.“Ms. Young—I mean, Boss. Have you finished picking out the ones you want?” the clerk asked respectfully.Kelsey announced cheerfully, “Please bag all of the nightgowns and lingerie here for me!”What?The clerk widened her eyes in disbelief. “Are you sure... You want all of them? This is going to cost at least ten million dollars.”Mr. Thomas told the clerk off. “If the boss wants it, then pack it for her. Quit yapping and do your job!”“Alright!” The clerk nodded dutifully and started to bag the items for Kelsey.Kelsey handed over the black diamond card again. “Use this card and count them all under your commission!”Even though she was now the brand's owner, she still had to pay.Besides, this was nothing but a chump change to Tyler anyway.The clerk was overjoyed to hear this. “Thank you, Boss!”Mr. Thomas put on a flattering smile. “Is there anything else you need, Boss?”Kelsey waved him away

    Inside the president’s office at the Lang Group building.Tyler was in the middle of reviewing some documents when the phone on the table vibrated.He reached for the phone and checked the notification. There had been several transactions made with his card.Upon checking the transactions, he grinned.Kelsey finally was willing to use his money.When he initially gave her the card, it took some effort to get her to take the card. After that, she had never used the card.For some time now, he took this to mean that Kelsey still drew very clear boundaries between the two of them. That was the only explanation why she was unwilling to use his money.As it turned out, he was looking too much into it.Regardless, now that she had finally used his money, it was all the evidence he needed that he was now her man.Needless to say, this put him in a very good mood.He noted the large transaction totaling up to nearly fifty million dollars. This was very much unlike Kelsey’s usual spen

    Tyler picked up the phone and went to the giant panel of the French window before answering the call.“Kels, did you need something?”The moment he called her name, he smiled unknowingly. Even his voice turned into a gentle drawl.Kelsey had just left the mall and was on her way home.She called Tyler because she wanted to enquire about what happened in the store just now.“I just bought a giant haul with the card you gave me!” she announced jubilantly.Tyler’s expression was very tender. “I know, as long as you like them, it’s fine!”Kelsey felt warm and fuzzy inside when she heard the pure adoration in his voice.“There is a certain thing I wanted to ask you about,” she said after a brief pause.Tyler cocked a look and prompted gently. “Go ahead.”Kelsey was very curious. “When I was in the mall, someone came and told me I have acquired the EM brand, I was wondering if you had something to do with this?”EM was the brand of the boutique store she visited with Yvonne.It w

    It was getting late.It was almost eleven by the time Tyler burrowed into his car. He had just finished meeting clients.He gently massaged his temples and leaned back in the back seat before ordering the driver, “Take me home.”The driver immediately started the engine and drove back to Tyler's place.After the call with Kelsey today, Tyler’s original plan was to go home as soon as he could.Unfortunately, an important event happened to take place today and he had no choice but to attend it.He was very apologetic about it and sent a message to Kelsey to tell her to not wait for him for dinner.When he was at the event, the only thing on his mind was Kelsey.After a long and excruciating wait, the event was finally over. The first thing he did was to pull out his phone and call the woman he had missed dearly.He glanced at the time on his phone, it was later than he expected.He hesitated.What if Kelsey went to bed already?While he was pondering about it, he suddenly rec

    Seeing how much thought Tyler put into her birthday, Susan felt confident that Kelsey was in good hands. Kelsey was lucky to marry a man like Tyler. The family was blessed to have Tyler. “All that matters is that you’re happy.” Tyler tended to Susan’s needs with respect. “I haven’t been this happy in a long time.” Susan nodded with a delightful smile. Kelsey could tell that Susan was a lot happier today. Susan had been feeling hurt since Charlie sent her to live in a nursing home. She felt like Charlie prioritized his side piece over his mother. It had been a while since Susan smiled again.The smile on Susan’s face was infectious. Kelsey’s face beamed. Tyler smiled along too. The lounge was filled with laughter and joy. After lunch, Tyler drove Kelsey and Susan to the nursing home. Susan, being elderly, fell asleep in the car. Tyler carried Susan back to her room in the nursing home. Kelsey could see how much Tyler cared about Susan. Tyler had to leave d

    “Please… Save my baby…” With Steve walking away, Megan pinned her hope on the restaurant staff. The restaurant manager and staff had witnessed Megan insulting Tyler and Kelsey. They would not risk upsetting Tyler by helping her. The restaurant staff looked the other way and went back to their own business. Megan held her belly as resentment consumed her. Tyler’s support was the only thing helping Kelsey to take Megan down. Otherwise, Megan would still be living her life. First, Charlie threw her out. Even Steve left her. Steven beat her up, causing her to lose her baby. Megan blamed everything on Kelsey. She would make Kelsey pay. Megan vowed to get her revenge. Losing her willpower to the pain, Megan lost consciousness. It was a kind female patron who called the emergency line for Megan. …Kelsey helped Susan into the lounge on the top floor. The place was definitely remarkable. The interior was lavishly appointed, with each piece of furniture carefully

    Steve mounted Megan and punched her face left and right. Megan would hurl abuse at him at first, but her tirade quickly turned into pleading. Steve smacked Megan over two dozen times, only stopping when Megan lay limp on the floor. He turned to Tyler, his grimacing face replaced with ingratiation. “I have taught the bitch a lesson, Mr. Lang.” Stoic-faced, Tyler did not spare a glance at Steve. Steve was irrelevant to Tyler. Tyler took strides to Kelsey and grabbed her hands. He murmured in her ear, “Do you feel better now?” Kelsey looked back at Megan’s swollen face and curled her lips. “She’s not worth my time anyway.” The constant struggles with Charlie and Megan over the years had hardened Kelsey emotionally.Megan’s verbal abuse was like water off a duck’s back. Besides, Charlie had kicked Megan out of the house. Megan’s words were nothing more than a desperate cry now. Steve was no better than Charlie, and Megan had it coming. Despite his age, Steve went

    Megan widened her eyes in disbelief at Steve. “D-Did you just hit me?” The last thing Megan expected was Steve to attack her. She thought she had compromised enough by dating a man so much older.Steve had been spoiling her rotten lately, giving her everything she wanted. Megan had gotten a big head. She thought she had Steve in the bag. Yet, to her dismay, Steve assaulted her. “Bitch!” Steve made a face of disgust. “Why did you slander Ms. Young?” In Steve’s opinion, Megan was more trouble than she was worth. Steve had gone to great lengths to curry favor with Tyler. Megan had gone and insulted Tyler’s woman right in his face. To make matters worse, Steve was caught up in the mess too. Steve regretted spoiling Megan, and she had gone in over her head. Megan’s eyes welled up. “Steve…” Her lips quivered as she looked at Steve with a hurt expression. Paying her no mind, Steve was occupied with ideas to please Tyler. “She’s just an escort to me, Mr. La

    Steve felt embarrassed. He had been wanting to make Tyler’s acquaintance, but a chance to meet him was hard to come by. Now that he ran into Tyler, Steve was determined to make the most out of it. “Let me be a host to you today, Mr. Lang—” Megan cut Steve off. “Mr. Lang, you might not know this, but Kelsey’s father is facing bankruptcy. He’s deep in debt too. Kelsey and her father are just going to be your burden. Don’t let Kelsey’s seemingly innocence fool you. They are just going to leech off you. My daughter, Josephine, is a nice and sensible girl. She’s a better companion than Kelsey. I’ll be delighted to introduce you to her.” Kelsey was impressed with Megan. Even now, Megan had not given up on pushing Josephine into Tyler’s arms. In Kelsey’s past life, Megan went to lengths to matchmake Josephine and Tyler. Nevertheless, Tyler never took an interest in Josephine. Megan was just as delusional as ever. However, Kelsey had no idea that Charlie owed a lot of mon

    “She’s just a bitch.” Megan hissed through clenched teeth, her jealousy showing. She had a hunch. The sudden change in the manager’s attitude toward Kelsey was likely due to Tyler. Megan wished she had Kelsey’s luck to meet a good-looking and rich man. Steve did not believe Megan. If Kelsey was just an ordinary woman, the manager would not take her up to the exclusive top floor. That was a height Steve could never reach despite a lifetime of hard work. However, Kelsey had no plans to accept the manager’s invitation to dine on the top floor. Since Charlie would not be attending or taking Susan out of the nursing home, Kelsey had no reason to dine alone on the top floor. Kelsey was better off getting back to her new office and ordering a takeout. Her discussion with Rosette about the costume design for Adrienne’s new film would continue this afternoon.However, the manager stopped her from leaving and apologized to her frantically. “Please see it in your heart not to

    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
