A week later, Kelsey left the hospital.She had intended to visit her best friend, Yvonne.However, before she could exit the hospital building, the police took her to the precinct. They explained that Yvonne’s family had filed a lawsuit against her for assault, demanding compensation for emotional and financial damages.Under pressure from the victim’s family, the police felt compelled to interrogate Kelsey. Kelsey knew Yvonne likely did not want this.Her husband and mother-in-law must have discovered her recent marriage into wealth and wanted to exploit the situation.During the interrogation, Kelsey repeatedly proclaimed that someone had framed her and that she had not driven the car that hit Yvonne. However, the officers dismissed her assertions.Instead, they presented various pieces of evidence to pressure her into confessing. Kelsey resolutely refused to do so.After several hours of relentless questioning, they sent her back to a holding cell. The holding cell
Tyler pulled away from the kiss very quickly.Before leaving, he promised Kelsey. “I will uncover the truth and rescue you from this place before you know it.”After he was gone, Kelsey was interrogated again.However, the police treated her far nicer this time.They were not as severe as the last time.Furthermore, they were no longer as skeptical of Kelsey’s claims.After the interrogation, she was taken to another room to be detained.The room was called a detention room by name, but it looked more like a hotel than anything else.Not only was there a proper bed and even a television, but there was also an air conditioner.When she first stepped inside, she had the impression that she had gone to the wrong place.She was no fool and quickly figured out that it was Tyler who made the arrangement for her.After she lay down on the bed fitted with a proper mattress, she felt a warm and fuzzy feeling swelling inside her.She got to enjoy some proper sleep that night.Then,
“I don't understand!” Kelsey frowned and was visibly displeased.Both herself and her best friend, Yvonne had been deliberately run over by someone.Furthermore, she was also framed as the perpetrator.Even if she were to get over what happened, what about Yvonne?She had a miscarriage! A child died!The ones who were behind this were Zara and her assistant. They had to be held accountable!It made no sense that she was expected to drop the entire matter.Dannielle, who was driving, suddenly hit the brakes.“We’re here, Ms. Young!”Her voice was relatively cold.Kelsey looked out the car window.She realized that Dannielle had driven her to the Youngs’ family house instead of Tyler’s place like she expected.It seemed like Dannielle was taking on Dylan’s role and had sent her back to her family house. Was this a way of denying her status as Tyler’s woman?She scoffed in disdain and proceeded to step out of the car.She was aware that Dannielle served Dylan and that there
A flat of disappointment flashed across Josephine’s eyes when she heard this.She understood the reason her father gave such an order was because he still deeply resented her mother and was not ready to forgive her.Talia had just turned around to put away the soup when Kelsey appeared at the front door.She immediately curtsied and called out politely, “Hello, Ms. Kelsey!”Upon hearing this, Josephine immediately turned around and shot a hateful glare at Kelsey.“So it’s you, my dear sister!” She feigned surprise and asked, “Aren't you at the police station? When did they release you?”Charlie's hands shuddered the moment he heard that Kelsey had ended up at the police station.He looked up at her and asked pointedly, “What happened? Why were you at the police station?”Before Kelsey could even answer, Josephine spoke up and cut her off, “Haven’t you heard about it, Dad? Kelsey hit someone with a car and caused a miscarriage. The family members of the victim went to the court
“When did I bring shame to the family? The police already verified that I was framed, that’s why they released me!” Kelsey retorted and shot Charlie a severe look.As she said this, she also directed a vehement look at Josephine.Josephine clenched her hands into tight fists in response. A dark sheet came over her eyes.Even when she teamed up with Zara, they still failed to take out Kelsey and let her slip away from their fingers again.She put on the same perfunctory smile as usual. “They released you without prosecution? That's great! I thought I was going to need to come up with something with Dad to bail you out of the station.”Charlie reprimanded her sharply. “If something like this happens again, don’t expect me to bail you out!”Kelsey was no fool and never expected him to bail her out. She would be grateful enough if they would just quit trying to sabotage her.She would sooner end up in jail for the rest of her life if she had counted on them to bail her out.“I was
Josephine was strongly against going abroad.Her mother had been kicked out of the house by Charlie. If she left as well, no one else would be around to fix the situation and defend her mother.It would be very difficult for her mother to return to the Youngs.Besides, she was worried about Cooper. She always had a lurking suspicion that Cooper would find a new lover if she was gone.Charlie frowned and told her off, “This month, you will sit tight and stay home. Pack your belongings for your overseas study next month. You are not allowed to go anywhere else!”“Dad…” Josephine bit her lip and held back tears.If it was in the past, Megan would have stepped in and defended her, she would have pleaded her case to Charlie.Without Megan serving as a mediator, there was no longer anyone who could get him to budge from his position.It seemed like he was very determined to send Josephine abroad next month. There was nothing that could change his mind at this point.Needless to say,
After Charlie left, Kelsey was on her own. She could not figure out what it was all about.She knew Tyler was not someone who would fold so easily. How was it that Charlie managed to get him to cave in and give him the money demanded?“Sis, you want to know how Dad got the money from your husband, do you?”Josephine's voice suddenly came from behind.Kelsey turned around and was greeted by the sight of Josephine walking toward her with a coy smile.“Why are you here? Dad told you to go back to your room, didn’t he? Have you been hiding and eavesdropping on us?” Kelsey regarded her with a menacing look.Josephine cocked a look at her and brushed it off. “Don't worry about whether I eavesdropped on you or not. Point being, I have all the answers you have been searching for…”Kelsey shot her a look. “What do you want from me?”She knew Josephine would not show up if she did not have a reason to. Josephine must have the answers that she could not manage to pry from both Tyler and C
It was truly remarkable.There was no way Josephine’s hideous schemes could escape Kelsey!“Kelsey, I am your sister. Even if we don’t share the same mother, we are still connected because we have the same father. Have you forgotten that blood runs thicker than water? Why should we turn against each other because of a man?” Josephine refused to let Kelsey go and tried to further her case while begging for forgiveness.Kelsey found the entire thing beyond ridiculous.Josephine was her half-sister who had slept with the man whom she was previously head over heels in love with.Yet, here was Josephine begging for her forgiveness.Imagine if their positions were reversed.If Kelsey was the one who slept with the man Josephine loved, she was sure Josephine would have had her killed instead of wasting time bickering over it.How could Josephine have the audacity to come to her and plead when she was the one who had slept with Cooper? What was with this fake show of sincerity?Did sh
