Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 320
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
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 327
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

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

Kelsey frowned. “What are you up to now?” She doubted Charlie was so nice to want the family to be together for her grandmother, Susan’s birthday. It was probably an excuse to get close to Tyler. Since Charlie got together with Megan, Kelsey could count on her finger the number of times he had been to the nursing home to visit Susan. Kelsey could not remember the last time Charlie celebrated Susan’s birthday. Charlie could not even remember Susan’s birthdate. Yet, Charlie was so kind to throw her a party. Kelsey could only suspect that Charlie had ulterior motives. “How can you say that about me, Kelsey? I’m your father. Am I wrong to throw your grandmother a birthday party?” Charlie reprimanded. Kelsey was skeptical. “You’re not wrong, but…” It was uncertain whether he had Susan’s interest at heart. “But what?” Charlie asked. He started blaming himself. “I know that I listened to Megan and neglected you and Mom. I’ve gotten rid of her. Now, I just want to be a go

With a predatory glint in his eyes, Tyler pressed his lips against Kelsey’s.“I’ll take your silence as your consent.” “Hang on!” Kelsey pushed him away. She meant business since it was about his sleepwalking last night. “I have a question.” “What is it?” Tyler asked in a raspy voice, his lips still lingering across her skin. His hands eagerly pulled her gown off her. “Do you sleepwalk?” Kelsey asked. Tyler paused, his eyes bearing a weight of emotions. Kelsey knew she was right on the money. Tyler had known about his sleepwalking. “Did you know you were sleepwalking last night?” Kelsey said while fixating earnestly on him. She was more concerned about his health. Tyler seemed healthy. Yet, he wandered off in a sleeping state. Judging by Tyler’s response, it was not his first rodeo. Generally speaking, sleepwalking was associated with trauma or unresolved issues. Kelsey suspected that Tyler had been through some kind of trauma, or something in his past wa

Tyler opened his eyes abruptly. Bare and dominant, he loomed above Kelsey while his penetrating gaze looked deep into her soul.Lost in the heat of his kiss, Kelsey opened her eyes in confusion at his sudden pause. She met his profound gaze. Kelsey’s heart skipped a beat. Her breath hitched. She stared at the man towering over her in disbelief, her eyes bulging. Tyler was awake. He examined her, his eyes scouring every inch of her body. Once he was certain that it was Kelsey, Tyler was relieved. “I’m home, babe,” he uttered with a sigh of relief. Feeling assured, he closed his eyes and rested his head on her shoulder. He filled his lungs with her familiar scent. Kelsey was taken aback, but her head gradually cleared. She thought that Tyler would not stop their little bed activity. However, Tyler stayed in the same position for a while. His steady breathing came soon after. He fell asleep. Kelsey was in disbelief. Since he wanted her so badly, Kelsey ass

Worried, Kelsey followed Tyler in case he hurt himself or fell off the stairs. He was not in a conscious state after all. Kelsey would not be so abrupt as to wake him from his sleepwalking. She was aware that waking a sleepwalker could lead to shock or other health problems.Kelsey stuck close behind Tyler and made sure he got up the stairs safely. Tyler returned to their bedroom and lay on the bed. Kelsey drew close for a look. The soft moonlight streamed through the French windows, casting a hazy glow over his defined face.Tyler lay there motionlessly, his eyes closed.Kelsey watched him sleep tenderly. For a moment, she drooled over him. However, she quickly frowned at the smell of alcohol on Tyler. Kelsey went to open the window to let in some airflow, dispersing the fumes of liquor. She then picked out a fresh pair of pajamas from the closet for Tyler.Tyler would need a change of briefs too. However, Kelsey’s cheeks burned when she pulled his brief draw
