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
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
Madam Lang eyed Kelsey up and down and could not withhold her praises. “Kelsey is getting more beautiful the older she gets.”Kelsey approached shyly. “Grandma, have you had breakfast yet? Do you want to eat something here?”Madam Lang smiled graciously. “Did you make breakfast for me?”“I’ll make something for right now!” Kelsey offered hurriedly.After that, she went to the kitchen.Madam Lang observed Kelsey frantically pacing around the kitchen to make her breakfast, then she turned to Lily who was with her, and expressed, “She knows how to cook at such a young age, impressive! Tyler is very lucky to have found her.”Lily chuckled. “He sure is!”“Hey Tyler, your wife is busy making breakfast for us, why are you just standing here?” Madam Lang said while swiping a look at Tyler and prompting him. “Go on, help her out.”Tyler smiled and stated, “Who’s going to keep you entertained if I go to the kitchen?”“It's more important to keep your wife company, I have Lily here with
“Kels, if you won’t take it, I will have to take it as a personal insult against us Langs!” Madam Lang pulled out her trump card.Kelsey was put in a difficult spot. “Grandma, I…’“Since Grandma wants you to have it, you should take it.” Tyler made the decision for her.“But…” Kelsey expressed helplessly.He should have helped her reject the offer instead of accepting the card for her!“No buts, we’re all family from now on!” Madam Lang took her hand and declared with a radiant smile.She was delighted to have Kelsey as her granddaughter-in-law.If Tyler’s grandfather and father were still alive, she was sure they would also gladly approve of Kelsey and want to see them start a family together.Upon reaching this thought, tears began to well in her eyes.“Grandma, why are you crying?” Kelsey was very perceptive and noticed immediately. She quickly consoled Madam Lang.Madam Lang wiped the corners of her eyes. “These are tears of joy, tears of joy!”After that, she only staye
Kelsey was stunned and taken aback upon hearing this.Her father was taking her grandmother back home to live with him? He was throwing a birthday party for her?Why would Megan not object to it?How was any of this possible?Those two were the ones who kicked her grandmother out of the house. What made them suddenly want to redeem themselves and take her back home?Something fishy was going on!After that, she immediately drove to the nursing home where her grandmother was staying.When she arrived, Claire, the caregiver, was already waiting for her at the entrance and seemed very agitated.“Ms. Young, you are finally here!”She immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon meeting Kelsey and went up to greet her.“Where is Grandma?” Kelsey asked urgently.“Come, I’ll take you to see her.” Claire eagerly led the way. “She was just talking about you.”“What were you saying on the phone just now? You said my father wanted to take Grandma back to live with him? What's going on?”
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
