The people at the party became judgmental of Rhea, Cerys, and James.

A member of the organizing committee had to step forward to smooth things over.

“Please settle your differences with Ms. Wright in private, ma’am. Don’t bring your personal affairs to the after-party of Runway Revolution.”

“I’m not here just to settle differences!” Raising a brow, Rhea snapped an angry look at Cerys, who was in James’ arms. “I want to blow the whistle on this homewrecker. She’s a half-ass designer. She only won the competition through plagiarism.”

Rhea’s words caused quite a stir among the crowd.

Despite Cerys’ character, her talent was widely recognized.

It came as a shock to everyone when her winning design was found to be plagiarized.

“What are you talking about? Security! Take her away now!” Zara urged the security officers.

The member of the organizing committee glanced at Tyler before stopping the security officers. “Hang on. Let her finish.”

Cerys’ heart sank.

She shuddered.

    Rhea came prepared. She shot a malicious look at Cerys, who was in James’ arms, and opened her mouth to speak. Cerys went ahead and talked before Rhea, “You sure are willing to go to lengths to break us up.” Her accusation and tearful eyes made her a convincing victim. Cerys was in the dark about the nature of evidence Rhea had. Still, her best option was to stop Rhea from producing the evidence just in case. Cerys skillfully turned the conversation on Rhea. To the naked eye, it looked as though Rhea caused a scene to split her husband and his mistress up. Even if Rhea could produce condemning evidence, she would lose credibility. Everybody would be fixated on Rhea’s motive. Since everybody assumed Rhea was merely trying to expose her husband’s affair, there was no telling whether the proof was genuine. Rhea glanced at Cerys before approaching the member of the organizing committee and whispering something in his ear. The committee member made a face and questi

    The crowd immediately erupted into a frenzy of whispers.The way they looked at Cerys instantly shifted.“I thought she made it on her own merits! Turns out she climbed her way up by sleeping with men!”“Stealing other people’s work and going after a married man? Her character is absolutely terrible!”Panicked, Cerys cried out, “No! That's not true! Don’t believe her lies! This evidence is fake! She fabricated it to slander me!”Unfortunately, no one seemed to believe her.“Ms. Quest, please say something for me!” Cerys frantically turned to Zara for help.However, seeing the situation, Zara realized she could no longer save Cerys from the trouble.Since she was now a lost cause, it was better to cut ties with her.This was necessary to avoid bringing harm to both herself and the Quests.Zara’s face turned stern. With a look of disappointment, she reprimanded Cerys. “Ms. Wright, I initially thought you were incredibly talented, which is why I signed you on with such a generou

    Unfortunately, she had no solid evidence to prove that Zara had bribed the judges at the Runway Revolution to frame Kelsey. She could not directly accuse Zara of committing that crime.Cerys clenched her fists. Her red eyes revealed a hint of indescribable hatred.She loathed Zara and hated Rhea even more…If not for them, they would not have caught her plagiarizing others’ work in such an important setting, which led to her disgrace.Moving forward, she would not be able to thrive in this industry.Seeing Cerys face public condemnation, Rhea finally felt her long-held anger subside.However, to her surprise, her husband, James, stepped forward to defend Cerys.“Ms. Quest, Cerys never intended to join the Quest Group. Since you’re so quick to believe accusations and defame her, go ahead and terminate the contract! If this matter goes to court, the Lyon Group will fully support her.”Zara froze in shock.She had not imagined James would support Cerys at such a critical moment

    Rhea was James’ legitimate wife.By having her confront Cerys would not only expose her act of plagiarism but also cast doubt on Cerys’ character.As for the so-called evidence from Rhea’s studio proving Cerys’ plagiarism, Tyler was the one who arranged for someone to fabricate it at the last minute. He orchestrated this to ensure Kelsey would not have to confront Cerys directly. After all, Kelsey had won second place in the Runway Revolution. If the runner-up accused the winner of plagiarism, it might lead to speculation about rivalry between them.With Rhea stepping in, it solidified doubts about Cerys’ character.“Honey…”Kelsey felt deeply touched by Tyler’s thoughtfulness.She wanted to express her gratitude by saying something.Just then, Zara rushed over to Tyler with a look of distress.“Tyler, you have to believe me! I swear I never bribed any judges or harmed Ms. Young throughout the competition... Cerys only made those accusations out of resentment because the

    Zara never expected that the moment she turned around, she would crash straight into a waiter carrying an entire tray of champagne.“Ah!”Zara let out a shrill scream as she collided with the waiter, sending both of them tumbling to the ground. The bottles of champagne the waiter was holding shattered all around them.The spilled champagne filled the air with a fragrant aroma. Broken glass scattered across the floor.The collision had created a chaotic scene.Zara suffered multiple cuts from the glass shards. Hence, they rushed her to the hospital.To her surprise, this incident made the headlines the next day.While it was common for the Revolution Banquet to dominate the news, it was unprecedented for such a personal scandal like this to take center stage. Even James went to great lengths and spent a fortune suppressing the incident from last night’s banquet, where Rhea publicly exposed Cerys’ act of plagiarism and furiously confronted her as the mistress.Hence, Zara’s

    Just as the car was about to hit them, Kelsey finally realized what was happening. She instinctively pushed her pregnant friend, Yvonne, out of the way. Unfortunately, she was a moment too late.The black car struck them both.Kelsey’s head hit the ground hard. Pain exploded in her skull, and darkness began to close in.In a daze, she felt someone drag her into the car, placing her in a position that felt like she was behind the steering wheel. Her head rested heavily against it, and her hands hung limply by her sides. She tried to open her eyes and see who it was.However, her eyelids felt unbearably heavy.Soon, she blacked out completely.…“Psshh…”The faint sound of a humidifier woke Kelsey. As she opened her eyes, she realized she was lying in a hospital bed. As she attempted to sit up, a pair of warm, strong hands gently pressed her back down.“Don’t move. You’re injured!” Tyler’s familiar, soothing voice came from beside her.Kelsey immediately turned he

    Kelsey could not help but question, “Does the police really think I crashed into Yvonne based on what they saw at the scene?”Tyler’s words reminded her of her own experience.After the car hit her, she vaguely felt someone dragging her into a car and placing her in the driver's seat. That person must be the real culprit.“The police found your fingerprints on the steering wheel. And…” Tyler's deep gaze grew serious.“And what?” Kelsey asked anxiously.Tyler pressed his lips into a thin line. “They traced the license plate of that car. The records show the car is registered in your name.” “How is that possible?” Kelsey exclaimed in disbelief.“I’ve never owned that car. This is clearly a setup!”Tyler gently rubbed her back to comfort her. “I know this has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, I've sent someone to investigate. We'll clear your name.”“Thanks!” Kelsey thanked him sincerely.However, a sense of unease crept into her heart.Who was behind this?Was it Zara o

    Kelsey firmly affirmed, “There’s definitely another person at the scene!”She had not been the one driving the car that caused the accident.The real perpetrator must have driven the vehicle that hit them and then placed her in the driver's seat to stage the scene as if she had crashed into Yvonne.“However, from the surveillance footage we retrieved from that vehicle, the only person in the driver's seat was you!” The police officer stared at her with a blank expression, his gaze sharpening further.Kelsey instinctively reacted. “That's impossible! I've never driven that car!”The police officer was about to ask more questions when Tyler pushed open the ward door and walked in. Upon seeing him, the officer's attitude toward Kelsey softened slightly.“Well, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone impersonated you. They might have driven the vehicle that caused the accident, and staged the scene to frame you! We still need to investigate this further." As the officer f

    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
