Kelsey smirked. Charlie would always side with Josephine in their disputes anyway.Kelsey was not her father’s favorite after all. Josephine started the fight. Yet, Charlie accused Kelsey of picking on Josephine without getting his facts right. Kelsey pulled a long face. “I have not upset Josephine. Your precious daughter can keep Cooper company since I did not sleep with him.” Charlie was trying to befriend the Lyons now that Braun started giving Cooper attention.However, Cooper was just a lovechild, so Kelsey, the horrible daughter, should test the waters. “You!” Charlie grimaced as Kelsey exposed Josephine’s relationship with Cooper in public. “Look at her, Charlie. She’s slandering Josephine.” Megan looked hurt.Megan panicked as members of high society chattered among themselves.To improve Josephine’s future husband prospects, Megan had to deny that Josephine had a thing with Cooper. “Do you hate Josephine so much that you make up a story about her, Kels? Aren’
“What are you doing? Let me go!” Josephine cried in a panic. Megan dropped the attitude the moment Tyler showed up.She looked at Charlie pleadingly. “Charlie…” Charlie bit the bullet and forced a smile at Tyler. “We can work this out, Mr Lang.” Tyler’s facial lines tensed. “There’s nothing to talk about. No one can hurt my woman.” He spoke in a husky voice, and that was the end of the matter.The crowd gasped, startled by the savage look on Tyler’s face.Those words were not just directed at Josephine but at Charlie too. Kelsey may be Charlie’s daughter, but he had no right to hurt her again. “Your woman?” Charlie asked in disbelief, his lips quivering. “Kels and I are married.” Tyler held Kelsey tight to state his possession.Charlie was stunned. Megan, standing next to him, made a face.Dumbfounded, Josephine was dragged out of the residence without a struggle. Kelsey stood there and watched Josephine’s unsavory exit. Rather than looking angry and startled,
Tyler was stunned.Kelsey hugged Tyler’s neck and puckered up for him. Though taken aback at first, Tyler quickly locked tongues with her. Tyler’s skillful maneuver only invited Kelsey to respond in kind.They were so lost in the kiss. The crowd was envious. As the smooch made the crowd uncomfortable, they quickly moved away. By the time Kelsey and Tyler were done, the crowd was back to rubbing shoulders. The earlier ruckus finally came to an end. The only thing imprinted in everybody’s minds was Tyler and Kelsey’s hot kiss. No one paid attention to Josephine’s ban from the party. Tyler kissed Kelsey in public twice. Kelsey’s cheeks were hot, and her heart raced. Tyler was no better off. Playing it cool, Tyler picked up a glass from a passing server’s tray and took a sip. Kelsey caught her breath and praised, “You’re good, honey.” Tyler turned red in the face. He cleared his throat and acted composed. “Thank you. You’ve improved too.”Kelsey felt embarr
Since Cooper wanted to reintroduce himself, Kelsey would play along too.“Hello, I’m Kelsey.” Her voice was icy. She would not even look at Cooper. She made her way to the hall. Kelsey did not respect Cooper enough to shake his hand. Cooper knew that she was going back to Tyler. He gave chase right away. “Now that we are reacquainted, why don’t I buy you a drink, Kelsey?” Cooper’s eagerness and sincerity made it seem like he was serious about getting back together. However, Kelsey knew that he was a hypocrite. “Why should I drink with you?” she asked with a sneer. “It’s my birthday today. Can’t you do it for me?” Cooper made up an excuse. Kelsey cocked her head back as if it just struck her that it was Cooper’s birthday. “Oh, that’s right. It’s your birthday today. Sorry, I forgot. I didn’t get you a gift. Tyler only brought me along since Braun gave an invite.” Cooper’s smiling face scowled. Kelsey’s words broke him. She forgot it was his birthday, did not g
Kelsey smirked. It was not up to Cooper alone whether they would stay together or break up.Kelsey was about to refute when Cooper’s phone rang. He grabbed his phone for a look. The call was from Josephine. Josephine seemed to always get in his way. She had the nerve to give him a call. Cooper rejected the call and looked up to meet Kelsey’s gaze. He put on a happy face and explained, “The call was from someone irrelevant. Don’t worry about it and get back to drinking.” Cooper put away his phone and poured Kelsey a glass of wine.Did Cooper just call Josephine irrelevant?Since Tyler got Josephine kicked out, Josephine must be calling Cooper for help. Though Kelsey saw through Cooper, she did not call him out on it. Cooper’s phone rang again right after he poured her a drink.“You’re a busy man.” Kelsey taunted. Cooper rejected the call again, feeling embarrassed.“Nothing matters more than having a drink with you.” He grinned ingratiatingly. Kelsey held him
“So what if I’ve gone mad? You slept with my sister behind my back. It’s only fair that I pay back with a glass of red.” Kelsey looked askance at Cooper. “Still, you want me to give you another chance. I’m sorry, but I don’t take back trash.” She stressed on the word “trash”.Chatter filled the room. Even the rich love engaging in a little gossip. The mishap between Kelsey and Josephine earlier was fresh in everybody’s mind. The sister fell out because Josephine slept with her older sister’s man. The man could possibly be Cooper. “I can’t believe Cooper can’t keep his hands to himself.” “That explains his upbringing. His poor old man threw him a birthday party for nothing.” “If I were Kelsey, I wouldn’t just be dumping wine on him. I would be holding a knife.” Cooper turned ashen. He looked at Kelsey grimly. A sinister presence approached Kelsey. Cooper inched closer to Kelsey. Rage consumed him. Kelsey felt a grip around her waist. Tyler showed up onc
On the way home, Kelsey nestled in Tyler’s arms. She put her arms around his waist. Tyler clutched her chin, his eyes locked onto hers. “Were you drinking with Cooper just now?” Kelsey paused for several seconds before refuting, “I was just trying to teach him a lesson.” She did not want to pay Cooper any attention, but he kept clinging to her, asking for forgiveness. It took a good wine soak to drive Cooper away. “Are you done with straightening him out?” Tyler narrowed his eyes offhandedly. “No. It would take more than beating him up for me to get over it.” Kelsey pouted. Her feud with Cooper went more than a glass of red wine. Cooper took hers and Tyler’s lives in the previous life. Kelsey was back for vengeance. “Do you hate him that much?” Tyler’s eyes deepened. Kelsey gritted her teeth. “I can’t say that I hate him. I just don’t want the vile man to have it easy.” Vile man? Kelsey’s description of Cooper dispelled Tyler’s jealousy. He reached out to
Previously, she asked him to task someone to keep an eye on James.Kelsey cocked an eyebrow and replied, “I’m worried something is going to happen to him because of Cooper, and that will give Cooper the chance to raise his status in the family.”Tyler narrowed the look in his eyes. “So your goal is just to stop Cooper from having his way?”Kelsey smiled grimly. “What else? You don’t think that I was interested in James, did you?”Something stirred in Tyler’s eyes and his voice suddenly dropped to a deep, grumbling bellow. “Are you interested in another man?”Kelsey stared at him blankly for several seconds.Then, she burst out laughing. “Oh, you look so cute when you are jealous!"Tyler fell speechless, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.He would not deny that he was jealous.However, he did not intend to bicker with her about this either.Instead, he sat still as if he had turned into a statue.Kelsey continued to snuggle in his arms and stopped teasing him.F
