Tyler grabbed the phone from the bedside table, swiped one glance at the display, and then hung up without hesitation.Shortly after that, the phone rang again.He frowned and answered the call this time, then he said something to the caller.Kelsey listened to the muffled voices and was soon stirred out of her sleep.“Who is it?”She asked irritably after Tyler had finished the phone call.“Keith!"Kelsey was surprised to hear his name.“Why is he calling at this hour?” She was perplexed.Keith was the playboy who took Zara, who had been drugged and slept with her last night, was he not?Was he not satisfied after having his way with Zara all night?Why was he calling her husband first thing in the morning?The look in Tyler’s eyes sank. “He’s asking me to bail him out of the police station and to get the news media to keep the entire thing hush…”Kelsey was taken aback by this. “What happened?”Tyler continued with an acute look in his eyes, “When he checked into the ho

While Zara felt she was on the verge of falling apart, one of the perceptive reporters suddenly noticed something from the corner of his eye and announced out loud, “Look, Keith is here too!”With that, the reporters all swarmed to Keith who had just been bailed out from the station by his family.“Mr. Keith, would you tell us about your relationship with Ms. Zara?”“Mr. Keith, it looks like you slept with Ms. Zara in the hotel. Does this mean we should be expecting you two to get married soon?”“Mr. Keith, when did you start dating Ms. Zara?”Keith was surprisingly calm despite the constant barrage of questions from the media about his relationship with Zara.He spoke to them graciously with a mysterious smile hanging on his lips, “It all comes down to if that is what Zara wants!”By saying this, he also indirectly verified their suspicions about his relationship with Zara.Then, he darted a look filled with adoration at Zara.The media immediately caught on to the way he aff

By the time Zara rushed home, her father had already finished discussing the terms of engagement with the Levines.“Dad, I’m not marrying him!”She ran up to her father and voiced her protests frantically.Unexpectedly, Carlos was nothing like his usual doting self. He shot her a severe look and commanded, “You will marry him even if you don’t want to!”His tone suggested that he was not to be defied.“Why must I marry him? Dad, you never force me to do anything against my will!” Zara would not suffer the injustice.Her father had always loved and treasured her conditionally. It was uncharacteristic for him to force her to do something she did not want to.Why was he so insistent this time?“How dare you still have the nerve to ask me why?” Carlos glared at her again. “Do you have any idea what you have just done? You have disgraced our family’s name! Do you think you can find anyone else to marry you anymore if you don’t marry Keith?”“Dad, I was framed, I never even meant to

“Kelsey, have you heard? Zara is getting married to Keith!”Rosette had asked Kelsey out to tea for the afternoon so they could talk about this.“Yeah.” Kelsey nodded calmly.The media had been reporting about Zara and Keith lately, there was no way she could not have heard about it.It looked like the Levines’ solution to address the scandal was to make Zara and Keith a legitimate couple instead. This way, they could minimize the impact it had on Kelsey’s reputation.When the news about Zara and Keith broke out, it drummed out a whole wave of controversies that damaged Zara’s reputation severely.However, after the two of them announced their marriage, things had been improving.All the people who were previously criticizing Zara took on a completely different tone upon finding out about the latest development. They began to congratulate her on the marriage instead.Rosette smirked slyly. “It looks like her solution is to marry Keith so she can turn the situation around. Let’s

Suddenly, Rosette's phone rang.She picked up the call right in front of Kelsey. It was her family calling her to get her to go on another blind date.“Alright, Mom, got it!”Her expression was noticeably darker when she hung up.Kelsey asked out of concern, “Did something happen?”Rosette grumbled dully, “It was just my mom calling. She’s been trying to get me to go on another blind date again.”Kelsey seemed taken aback by this. “Didn't you go on a blind date with Charles last time? Did it not work out?”Even the sheer mention of it made Rosette upset. “Don’t even start. That guy started off our very first date by telling me that we weren’t going to work out. He was saying it as if I had fallen in love with him at first sight! After that, he insisted on bringing me to the party so his friends would have a chance with me…”Kelsey was startled to hear that. “Do you think there was some sort of misunderstanding in between?”The Charles she knew would not do something so tastele

With that, the man raised the machete in the air and swung it down toward Cleo.Cleo defeated the man within seconds.Cleo grabbed the man by his pivot hand and swung the machete back at him.In an instant, a stream of blood gushed out.The brutish man collapsed to the ground due to excessive blood loss.Then, his scream echoed across the corridor.His crew were all horrified by what they were seeing.They did not expect Cleo to be such a skilled fighter and were so terrified that they were cautious of laying another finger on him.Cleo used a tissue to wipe the man’s blood off of his hands before turning to his men and ordering, “Call the police.”The police arrived at the scene shortly after.The leader of the hooligans was brought to the hospital for emergency treatment while his crew were all taken to the police station.Everyone present in the hotel lobby who witnessed the accident was instructed to record their witness statements.A significant number of people who we

Kelsey could tell that Rosette was interested in Cleo.With that, she wisely excused herself so she would not interfere with their bonding. “I don’t think I’ll be joining…”To her surprise, Cleo extended the invitation again. “Why don’t you come with us?”Rosette was too shy to dine with Cleo by herself as well.With that, she urged Kelsey on. “Come on, Kels, it’ll be fun! Let’s all go together!”Kelsey had no choice but to give in.Soon, they found themselves in Cleo's Bentley cruising down the road.Two more cars filled with his bodyguards trailed behind from a moderate distance.Kelsey was seated in the back seat of the car. She was texting Tyler to tell him that she would not be going home for dinner.Then, she received a text from Rosette who was seated next to her. “Cleo is so handsome!”She did a double take.She subconsciously turned up to glance at Cleo who was seated in front.Even she could not deny that Cleo was a handsome man. He was blessed with good features

Cleo suddenly suggested that he would drive them home.Needless to say, Rosette agreed.Since Rosette stayed close to the hotel, Cleo dropped her off in his Bentley first.After bidding farewell to Rosette, Kelsey and Cleo were the only ones left in the backseat of the Bentley.“Why don’t I leave too?”Kelsey felt a little self-conscious. Her first thought was to step out of the car.Then, Cleo stopped her. “I’ll take you home."“No!” Kelsey did not feel that it was the right thing to do.Cleo asked with a dark look in his eyes, “Do I look like some kind of demon to you?”Kelsey shook her head.Cleo asked in a lowered voice, “In that case, why have you been trying to avoid me?”Kelsey turned the question around on him. “Have I been doing that?”Cleo smiled. “Have you not?”Kelsey stopped for a moment to reflect on what she had been doing.She had not been deliberately avoiding him but still, she felt she had to consciously keep a respectful distance since she was a marrie

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

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
