It seemed like Charlie had never considered that Kelsey and her mother were his legitimate wife and daughter.He had never considered how much he would hurt their feelings by having a mistress and even having a daughter born out of wedlock.After Kelsey’s mother got into the accident, not only had Charlie completely forgone the treatment, but he even seized the chance to take his mistress and illegitimate daughter under his roof. When they usurped Kelsey’s position, all he did was feign obliviousness and allow it to happen. He was as cruel as they came.Why was it that her father never took her side and chose to see her as the enemy?Had he never felt any kind of guilt toward her and her mother?“Kelsey, tell me the truth! Did you have something to do with Josephine's disappearance?”Sure enough, Charlie began to harbor suspicions toward Kelsey after listening to Megan’s ranting.He immediately turned around and accused Kelsey sharply.“No!” Kelsey denied it without hesitation.
Upon noting Charlie’s hesitation, Megan immediately began to dial up her antics.“Kelsey, your father and I are very happy that you managed to marry Mr. Lang. Still, do you think it is fair for you to pick on us just because you managed to marry into a powerful family?”That other night when Charlie found out about Kelsey marrying Tyler, his entire demeanor took on a drastic transformation.Upon finding out about their marriage, he no longer tried to persecute the related parties for kicking Josephine out of the party.Megan was not going to let Kelsey interfere with her plans just because Kelsey managed to siphon power from the Langs.She had to come up with something to turn Kelsey’s advantage against her. Something had to be done to incite Charlie.Sure enough, Charlie seemed to have ‘snapped to his senses’ upon hearing Megan’s pointed remarks.It gave him a boost of confidence to confront Kelsey.“She’s right, don’t you start looking down on your father of all people just b
Kelsey asked suspiciously, “When did Josephine disappear?”Megan declared sharply, “Last night after she got kicked out of the party thanks to your husband’s men, she was never seen again. We couldn't contact her through her phone and tried looking for her all night but still couldn't find her. She just went missing like that!”Kelsey asked with a clear glow in her eyes, “If she disappeared last night, that means it’s already been half a day since she was last seen. If she was kidnapped, don’t you think that the kidnappers would have called to ask for a ransom by this point?”“This…” Megan darted her eyes around rapidly while thinking of a response. “Maybe they wanted to wait a little later before contacting us!”Kelsey shot her an icy look. “What if she was not kidnapped at all? Maybe she just got lost somehow or got into an accident. Either way, the sooner we call the police, the sooner we can find her and ensure her safety, don’t you think so?”“But…” Megan's expression stiffen
The look in Kelsey's eyes dimmed faintly, then she retorted, “It sounds more like you’re the one who looks down on my father and the Youngs!”Megan was not expecting to be exposed so quickly. She started to falter from guilt and cried out defensively, “What did you say?”She continued to wear the same aggrieved expression as if Kelsey was the one who had wronged her.Kelsey composed herself and stated with fixed composure, “He is my father, we share the same blood. My husband wouldn’t even marry me if he looked down on my father, don’t you think so?”Charlie’s expression seemed to have softened slightly upon hearing the point she raised.Kelsey then sharply changed the subject and turned it against Megan. “But it’s different in your case, Aunt Megan. You are younger than my father and you’re pretty, God knows if you have been secretly disdaining my dad for being too old and not deserving someone like you. Who knows if you have been messing around with some younger, more good-looki
Megan had been feeling very upset since Josephine was kicked out of the party by Tyler's men last night.She never imagined that someone like Kelsey would somehow luck out and marry someone wealthy like Tyler.The thought that Kelsey had borrowed Tyler’s influence to kick Josephine out of the party greatly infuriated Megan. She decided she would not stand for it!What was especially insulting was the fact that Charlie's attitude toward Kelsey had shifted significantly ever since he found out that Tyler was her husband.It seemed like he was not even intending to persecute the incident of Josephine being unfairly kicked out of the party.To rub it in, he even praised Kelsey for finding a good marriage match and that she had brought pride and blessings to the family line.All of this was simply unacceptable!If Charlie started to repair his broken relationship with Kelsey because she managed to marry into a wealthy family, things would quickly go south for Megan and Josephine. Her
“I agree that Kelsey needs to be disciplined, but you have to understand that it was my mother and Hailey who raised her as a child. I was not very involved and that’s why we are not very close. Even if I were to try to discipline her, she wouldn’t listen to me,” Charlie expressed helplessly.At the same time, he did feel some sense of guilt toward Kelsey.He had neglected to show much fatherly affection toward her when she was a child.Therefore, it was only natural that she would be so stubborn and refuse to listen to him.Upon hearing Charlie lamenting about his mistakes and feeling a sense of guilt toward his daughter, Megan took it as a bad sign.The main purpose of her instigating Charlie was so that she could drive further conflict between the father and daughter.It was not to have him reflect on his negligence in raising Kelsey over the years.If Charlie were to continue to reflect in this direction, the chances of him helping Megan and Josephine get justice would becom
“In that case, I’ll just take a kiss!”With that, Tyler planted his lips against Kelsey’s red, full lips.Her eyes widened slightly upon feeling his lips. All she could do was moan faintly under him.Tyler clenched his hands around her tender waist and continued to make out with her.Kelsey tasted just as intoxicating as ever. No matter how many times he kissed her, it was simply not enough.He held her tightly in his muscular arms and deepened the intensity of the kiss.The kiss was intoxicating and seemed to last an eternity.Soon, the last of Kelsey’s defenses crumbled. She had lost whatever rationality was left in her and reciprocated by wrapping her arms around Tyler’s neck.After more time passed, Tyler finally drew away while gasping for air.Kelsey's cheeks were flushed with red. There was a thin layer of mist in her eyes that made them seem more reflective than ever. Her hair was slightly ruffled which added more to her seductive charm.Tyler's Adam's apple bobbed up
Josephine and Cooper were completely flabbergasted, this was the last thing they expected.They were just secretly meeting up in a hotel like they had done many times in the past. How did the reporters catch wind of this?Countless camera flashes blared before their eyes and blinded them…Cooper tried to maintain his usual elegant and gentlemanly demeanor but given the circumstances, a small part of his mask cracked and revealed a hint of iciness.“Everyone, please do not make false assumptions. We are only close friends.”He tried to clarify his relationship with Josephine.Although the two of them had been secretly seeing each other for some time, he never intended to publicize their relationship.Especially not at such a crucial moment when he was vying to stake his place in the Lyons household. This was not an appropriate time to publicize their relationship.Unfortunately, the reporters would not believe in Cooper’s flimsy excuses.“Mr. Lyon, you say that you are only clo
