As soon as Charlie entered, he was hit by a rather sultry smell.

This made him even more certain that someone had been messing around in his mother's room of all places.

Since the curtains in the room were drawn and the lights were off, it was pitch black inside.

He could not clearly make out what was going on inside the room.

“Turn on the lights!” he commanded sharply.

These nursing home bills cost him a hefty amount every year.

He was baffled by how poorly the place was managed.

Was this supposed to be some kind of scam?

He would not let her mother stay in her place like this much longer, he had to take her back home!

By this point, he had already decided that he would demand the director to refund all of his early payments after this was dealt with.

The more he thought about it, the more he began to rationalize that he was the victim of all of this!

The director nervously instructed his men to turn on the lights.

He was also curious to see what the entire ordeal was abou

    A murderous glow gleamed in Charlie’s eyes with increasing intensity.Any second now, he was going to choke the life out of Megan.The director recognized the threat and immediately got his men to stop him and defuse the situation.“Mr. Young, let's talk about this like civilized people!”He would much rather not have someone die in his nursing home.Charlie let go at last. However, his facial muscles constantly twitched as if he was still actively holding back his anger.“Ahck, ahck…”Megan coughed profusely and gasped desperately for air while feeling the bruises on her neck.Charlie was this close to strangling her to death.“Director, I'm sorry for putting on such an embarrassing display.” Charlie suppressed his anger and turned to address the director. “I hope you would do me a favor and keep this under cover, I don't want anyone to hear about this.”“I think…” The director made a point of hesitating.How could he forget about how Charlie rudely told him off just now?

    “Get away from me!”Megan’s hair was disheveled and her makeup was smudged. She even smelled like the man she had been doing it with.Charlie was repulsed and even felt like throwing up at the sight of her.His woman had been tainted by another man.She even smelled like that man from head to toe.Megan crawled over to him and grabbed desperately onto his leg.“Charlie, I never betrayed you, you’re the only one I want! I have never loved any man other than you, please don’t let Kelsey deceive you…”Charlie shot her a look. “What did you just say?”Megan scrambled for an explanation. “Don’t let Kelsey deceive you! She was the one who planned all of this…”“No, the sentence before that!” Charlie impatiently cut her off, a dark look surfaced in his eyes again. “You said you never loved any man other than me?”Megan nodded profusely and swore. “Yes, I only love you, Charlie! I have fallen for you ever since the first time I met you…”Just like every time in the past, she confess

    Kelsey was camping outside and watching everything unfold.She was thrilled to finally get to see Charlie and Megan having a fallout.With this, Megan could no longer hide her true colors!Even she was not expecting a group of reporters to rush in out of nowhere and take pictures.This was the fatal blow. Megan's scandal was going to be public information by the next day.Even if Charlie wanted to keep everything hush, there was no way he could pull that off now.Even Kelsey was surprised to see everything unfolding in such a convenient manner.Could there be someone else lurking in the shadows and helping her? This person must loathe Megan as much as she did.Meanwhile, several reporters who had obtained the pictures they wanted stepped out of the room.One of the reporters who looked younger turned to another older reporter and asked in an intrigued tone, “Say, how did you know that something this scandalous is going to go down in the nursing home today?”“It was the main c

    Kelsey knew she could only rely on herself.“It sure sounds like you had something to do with this.” There was a profound look in Tyler’s eyes when he said this.“Let’s just say it’s self-defense," Kelsey expressed nonchalantly with a shrug.Then, she told Tyler about everything that went down in the nursing home today.Tyler's expression suddenly exchanged upon hearing the story.“What? How dare Megan scheme something like that against you?”He seethed with rage upon making that remark.He did not expect so many things to happen to Kelsey in the relatively short time when he went to work.If Kelsey was not alert, she may have very well fallen into Megan’s trap.Since Megan had been so bold to plot against his woman, he swore that he was not going to let her get away with it.Kelsey raised a look and replied smugly, “That’s why I gave her a taste of her own medicine.”Megan did it to herself!If Kelsey did not fight back, she would be the one who ended up ruined by now.Ty

    Tyler’s Adam's apple bobbed up and down when he gulped, and then a drunken look surfaced in the depths of his eyes. “My dear, I want to…”Kelsey felt her heartbeat accelerating.She squirmed uncomfortably in his arms. “What are you trying to do?”Tyler drew closer, his profile was as dashing as ever. Soon, she could feel his breath beating on her lips.“I want you… To make some midnight snacks for me.”He paused intentionally between his words before he named his ultimate goal.Kelsey went rigid with horror as something tumultuous stirred inside her.“Is that all you want? Some midnight snacks?”Why did he not say everything in one go but instead drag it out?“I’m going to have a midnight snack first, then I’ll eat you!” Tyler remarked with a perverted grin.Kelsey flushed red then suddenly asked in a concerned voice, “Did you not have anything to eat for dinner?”Tyler remarked, “I didn't get to eat much because I had to attend meetings.”“Alright, let’s eat downstairs.”

    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
