Although Tyler was the son of a rich family, he should obey Charlie because he was his father-in-law.

A deep and dark look appeared in Tyler’s eyes. “I will give you five hundred million dollars if Kelsey forgives you. Once you fix your relationship with her, I won’t just give you the money. I'll give you a couple more villas that a proper father-in-law deserves.”

“You…” Charlie was choked up with anger and his eyes gradually widened as well. It took him a long time to put his words together.

He knew he had not been a good father to Kelsey. Regardless, he deemed that it was not enough to justify Tyler not fulfilling his duties as a son-in-law.

Fortunately, he came prepared.

“You should take a look at this first before deciding if you’re going to give me the money!”

He glowered before grabbing a stack of documents from his bag and tossing it in front of Tyler.

“What is this?” A trace of suspicion flashed across Tyler’s eyes.

Charlie smiled smugly. “You'll know once you open it!”

    Tyler strode inside.The bedroom was dark, all the lights were turned off.The faint moonlight came in from the window.He immediately noticed the slender figure lying against the windowsill.“Kels?” Tyler called out softly.However, Kelsey was already asleep and did not respond.Tyler drew closer until he was right next to her, then he called softly, “Kelsey?”Kelsey’s eyelashes flickered briefly, then slowly opened her eyes.“You're back?”She was slightly startled by Tyler’s sudden appearance. Then she smiled faintly at him.Tyler bent over and took her into his arms.“It's a cold night, you shouldn’t be sleeping right next to the window.”A trace of concern flashed across his eyes while he gently settled her onto the bed in the living room.Kelsey fixed a look on him, the hazel in her eye shone. “I was waiting for you.”Tyler felt warm and fuzzy inside.“I’m sorry, I was late,” he whispered a sincere apology.“Why didn't you answer my call?” Kelsey asked.Tyler's e

    Kelsey met Tyler’s gaze. “What did my dad say to you?”Instead of getting into her own head and making assumptions, she was better off asking him outright. Tyler’s eyes were unreadable. “Just stay out of this. I’ll sort it out.” Kelsey smirked. “Are you? How are you going to sort it out? You gave him money, right?” It was clear that Charlie went to Tyler for money. That was the reason why Kelsey refused to let Charlie meet Tyler despite the multiple hints. She knew Charlie too well. Charlie would turn a blind eye to his daughter, Kelsey’s needs, big or small.Yet, the moment he saw an opportunity to exploit her, he would take it. Tyler pursed his lips without a word. Kelsey asked anxiously, “How much did he ask you for?” Tyler remained quiet. “Say something!” Driven by panic, Kelsey sneered. “How much am I worth to you?” Tyler narrowed his eyes on her. “Kels…”All those pent-up emotions in Kelsey finally came to a head after a night of brewing. “He’s not ma

    Kelsey’s chest tightened as emotions weighed heavily on her. Tyler might be able to tolerate the incident a couple of times, but what if it became a recurring pattern?He might end up despising Kelsey too. Now that she had a new lease on life, the only thing Kelsey ever wanted was to spend the rest of her life with Tyler. The question of her worthiness now stood between them. Tyler’s eyes were unreadable. “I have never meant to insult you, Kels.” Her strong reaction took Tyler by surprise. Kelsey looked at him through the tears in her eyes. “I know that my upbringing makes me a less suitable wife to you, but I’ve been working on myself. Today, I realized that certain things are out of my hands. I can’t undo my past.” The Langs were a prestigious family while the Youngs were reduced to an upper-middle class at the hands of Charlie. Kelsey married beyond her social class. She thought that she could break free from her family and be good enough for him through her own

    Tyler was not hung up about the past. However, Kelsey was his woman now. He had the duty to protect her and keep her safe. Kelsey was taken aback, her tearful eyes locked gazes with Tyler’s.She stared into his eyes until she finally snapped out of a frazzled state. Kelsey understood that she had more than a little outburst.At the end of the day, Tyler only gave Charlie money because of Kelsey. She should not take her anger out on Tyler. Still, Kelsey was hurt. She could not believe Tyler would make a deal with Charlie to buy her out. Kelsey assumed Tyler would not involve money due to the conflict between her and Charlie.However, Tyler refused to talk when Kelsey demanded answers. That just pushed Kelsey off the edge. Now that Kelsey had a clear mind to think, she believed there was more to the whole thing. Tyler just was not letting her in on it. Kelsey felt bad. “I’m sure my dad caused a lot of problems by meeting you at your office.” Anyone would be emb

    Tyler did not give Kelsey a straight answer. Instead, he lowered his head and sealed her lips. He engaged in a deep, lingering kiss. Tyler did not give Kelsey a chance to get mad and drill him with questions. Kelsey was left gasping in a daze from the kiss. She could not focus on the question long enough to grill him. … Kelsey stayed put in Tyler’s place for the next few days to help with the injury to her ankle. Since the argument over Charlie, Kelsey and Tyler avoided the subject altogether. Tyler moved most of his work home which freed up his time to care for Kelsey. Then came the after-party of Runway Revolution. There had always been an after-party once the annual Runway Revolution came to an end. The party was thrown in honor of the winners and to serve as a platform for participants to socialize. Many business and political figures were among the attendees. The organizer had the party in line once the curtains were drawn for Runway Revolution.The w

    Kelsey made history on Runway Revolution by winning the runner-up and the most popular award. The dejection was visible in Kelsey’s eyes. “I wasn’t the winner.” Though she was able to make a mark in the competition, it was a shame that she did not bring home the crown. She lost to Cerys, who had Zara’s support. More infuriatingly, Cerys won Runway Revolution by stealing Kelsey’s design. Heck, Kelsey took a tumble because of Cerys too. Tyler drew close with a dropped head, took her hand, and said, “You’re the only winner in my eyes.”Kelsey felt touched by emotions. In that case, Kelsey could not be bothered to change out of the gown she was wearing. Cerys’ victory was merely a fraud. Kelsey did not have to dress down for Cerys’ sake. Besides, Cerys pushed Kelsey down the stage in fear she would steal her thunder when the latter did nothing at all.All Kelsey needed to do was be herself. What was hers would be hers. “You look gorgeous, Ms. Young,” Anna complime

    The reception was filled with the soothing sounds of the violin. Kelsey entered the venue, her arm linked to Tyler’s. The pretty pair were a real head-turner. Several leaders of the organizing committee and influential figures from politics and business flocked to greet Kelsey and Tyler. Cerys and James were brushed off to the side. The winner of Runway Revolution was Cerys. Yet, all the attention was on Kelsey. Not only did Kelsey win two awards, but she came with Tyler too. These people were no fools. Kelsey clearly had more to offer than Cerys. Kelsey kept Tyler company as he socialized with the crowd. Malice seemed to follow Kelsey around, though. “What’s the matter?” Reading Kelsey’s discomfort, Tyler put his hand over hers and held her tight. Kelsey glanced at a grimacing Cerys from the corner of her eye and shook her head. “I’m fine.” Tyler followed Kelsey’s line of vision. He narrowed his eyes dangerously. It was one intimidating look. Cerys looked a

    A rumor somehow started during the party. Apparently, Kelsey won second place at Runway Revolution thanks to Tyler’s influence. Kelsey frowned. That was the very thing she tried to avoid. Hence why she signed up for Runway Revolution without letting Tyler know. Besides, Kelsey was Tyler’s legal wife. She did not sleep with him to get ahead in the competition. Tyler returned with barbecue meat on his plate. The grilled meat was packed with flavor, topped with a zesty, spicy sauce.Tyler cut the meat into pieces and handed one to her on a fork. “Do you want it? It’s hot.” Kelsey took a bite and chewed spitefully. The chatter at the next table put Kelsey in a foul moodAs she munched, she quickly realized something was off. “Why is it so spicy?” She could breathe fire. The touch of heat on the grilled meat should not be so spicy. Kelsey was wrong. The aftertaste was quite a kick. Tyler poured a drink for Kelsey. His side profile really featured his flawles

    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
