Kelsey filled the bathtub with hot water and sprinkled rose petals in it before lighting an essential oil candle.The air was immediately filled with a sophisticated and stirring scent.As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she collided with Tyler’s broad chest.“Ow…”She rubbed her forehead and looked up.She had bumped straight into Tyler. She was not sure how long he had been standing outside the bathroom.The man towered over her and took her into his warm embrace.He pressed a hand against the wall behind her while bearing his presence over her.“The… The bath… The bath is ready.”Kelsey felt the intense heat emanating from his eyes. Suddenly, she felt like she was finding it difficult to breathe and had to look away.Her heartbeat was beating like a drum and she was afraid to meet his gaze.Tyler’s distinctive masculine musk filled her nostrils. Her eyelashes shivered faintly.“Do you want to take a bath together?” Tyler drew his lips toward her ears and suggest
Kelsey was flustered by the sudden suggestion.Before she could get a word out, Tyler had already lowered himself toward her and planted a passionate kiss on her lips.“Ah…”Kelsey's face flushed with red. She had to crane her neck upward to receive his sudden kiss.They made out for several minutes until she was running out of breath. It was only then that Tyler smugly drew away to let her breathe.However, his large hands were still palming her waist tightly. He began to feel the thin fabric of the dress…“No, stop…” Kelsey was getting agitated and began to squirm in his arms.At the same time, she also felt a surge of desire.“Stop what?” Tyler raised a suggestive look at her and flashed his usual seductive smile to tease her.Kelsey felt like she was about to lose her mind. His manly aura was overpowering her.She pressed her fists against his chest and suggested. “We can… We can wait until we get back to the bedroom… Then you can…”It was not because she did not want to
Kelsey stared at him for a while before finally voicing something she had in mind, “Say… Did you just buy the EM brand for me?”It was a rather major gesture so she had to verify it directly with him.Tyler smiled radiantly. “Consider it a dowry!”Kelsey was dazed, it took her several seconds to register the information.“Huh?” Her almond-shaped eyes were widened.Tyler lowered himself toward her and kissed her softly on the lips. Something shone in his eyes.They got engaged so hastily that he barely had time to give her a proper gift for the engagement.Given the circumstances, it was the perfect occasion to make up for it. He gave her her favorite brand as a gift.Kelsey blushed like a ripe tomato when he kissed her.Then, she suddenly frowned.“I don't know how to run a business. What if I mess it up and it goes bankrupt…” She grew very concerned by this point.She did not want to risk ruining such a major brand.Tyler gently took her hand and assured her tenderly. “You
There were several pictures attached as evidence.The pictures were taken from a great angle. It perfectly captured Zara and Mia in their most unruly state while keeping Kelsey out of the frame.It did not take long for the post to go viral online.Especially considering the fact that Zara had always branded herself as being a sweet and innocent angel ever since her debut in the entertainment industry.The netizens were taken aback to see such an unruly side of her.Zara had even gone and insulted someone like Cecil who was a renowned designer in the industry, how uncivilized!With that, her image was shattered.Many fans were openly expressing dissatisfaction with her actions and some of them were even trying to take her down entirely. Meanwhile, there were just as many people who were in it to behold the magnificent disaster.To make things simple, Zara was in big trouble after the article came out.Kelsey could not be any more enthused.She did not expect Zara’s downfall t
With that, she tasked Talia to continue monitoring Megan.Meanwhile, she got changed as quickly as she could and rushed out of the house.She took a cab to the Youngs’ house and arrived just in time to see Megan driving out of the house.“Please follow the car in front! I don’t care what you do, just don’t lose it!” Kelsey hurriedly ordered the driver.“Alright, sit tight!” The driver obliged immediately and started tailing Megan’s car.Kelsey stared intently at Megan’s car right in front as if terrified she would lose sight of it the moment she looked away.“Hey lady, is the person inside that car your husband or your boyfriend?” The driver was very curious and tried to pry.Kelsey grinned. “It's my stepmother!”The driver made a face, it was clear he was not expecting such an answer.Soon, Megan would no longer be her stepmother.She had taken photo evidence of her sleeping with Dominic. There was no way Charlie would stand for her adultery.Megan drove in circles around t
Kelsey did not expect the security to be so strict.She could not possibly ask Megan to let her in, could she?How else was she supposed to get in otherwise?Just as she was worrying about her options, her phone suddenly rang.She reached for her phone, it was a video call from Tyler.With that, she answered, “Hey, dear.”Tyler's handsome profile was projected on her phone’s display immediately.“I’m home, where are you?”He made a point of getting home early today because he was hoping to give Kelsey a surprise.Only to find that Kelsey was nowhere to be seen upon reaching home.“I’m outside right now, there’s something I need to do,” Kelsey told him.“Outside? Where are you?” Tyler asked without skipping a beat.“Mister, what area is this?” Kelsey turned to the security guard who was stopping her from entering“This is Emperio Estate,” the security guard obliged and told her the name of the district.Tyler was taken aback. “What are you doing there?”“It's a long story
It was only after stepping into the district that Kelsey realized how luxurious the area was.The entire district was like a park.The entire place was not just filled with any ordinary fauna, but all sorts of imported plants and flowers from all over the world.Even though it was getting dark, the place was well-illuminated with beautiful streetlights.However, she knew she was not here to sightsee.She came to collect evidence of Megan cheating on her father.She needed the evidence to kick Megan out of the household.The problem was she had lost Megan just now, where could she be?The district was so big and there were countless villas all around, surely she could not go hunting in each villa.In that case, how was she to find Megan?While Kelsey was still clawing her head for an idea, she heard the roar of an engine.She turned around subconsciously and noticed a sports car coming toward her.It was a convertible. Thanks to the streetlights, she got a clear view of the
Unexpectedly, Cooper accelerated the car again and cut off her path.Then, he threw the door open and stepped out of the car, planting himself right in front of her.He exuded an oppressing aura while drawing closer.“What are you doing?” Kelsey became sharply alert.Cooper imposed himself upon her and suggested with a haughty smirk, “My place is just right over there, do you want to come over?”Kelsey shot down his offer without a thought. “No!”Cooper suddenly grabbed her arm. “You’re already here anyway, why not come by for a quick visit before leaving?”“I told you I didn’t want to, let me go!” Kelsey tried to squirm away.Cooper pulled her into his arms.He embraced her tightly, and a menacing glow soon shone in his eyes.“Kelsey, you were the one who came offering yourself up to me.” He was pressing himself so close that his lips grazed against her hair.Kelsey felt goosebumps rise across her body.Meeting Cooper here was the last thing she expected, she never thought
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
