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.

    “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

    Now that Cooper’s scandal with Josephine was public news, there was no way that Rhea would ever believe him and help him take down his brother!With this brilliant move, Tyler had killed two birds with one stone.“Honey, you’re amazing!”Kelsey threw himself at him and rained passionate kisses on him.Tyler smiled smugly and drawled, “I hope you would reward me some other way!”Kelsey did a double take, then her cheeks flushed with red.“You, um…”She snuck him a shy look and immediately after that, Tyler pressed his lips against hers.She found herself pinned on the bed and smoothly ran her fingers across his hair. She wrapped her arms tightly around him and started to reciprocate his gestures.The couple went on kissing for a long time until at one point, she felt Tyler’s hand reaching underneath her shirt.His breathing had turned rapid. He hovered himself over her and fixed a lustful look at her.There was something primal and seething with hunger flashing underneath his

    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
