Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 418
Kelsey retorted snidely, “Am I not allowed to be here? Do you own the restaurant? If you’re here, I can be here too!”Zara's expression stiffened. “You…”Just as she was about to escalate the argument, Keith suddenly led her away.“Come on, dear. Let’s get something to eat!”He tried to defuse the situation.The last thing he needed now was to provoke Tyler.He had to keep Zara away from Tyler’s wife.Zara jabbed the point of her elbow at his ribs. “Scram! Who are you calling ‘dear’?”Keith grinned smugly. “We are engaged and you have slept with me already. That makes you my wife!”Zara's expression dropped. She wished she could kill him right then and there.“Shut your mouth!”She glared at him, hearing the mention that they had slept together made her skin crawl.Keith would not have gotten away with it if she had not been drugged that night. Someone had set her up!She was still investigating who had done something so rotten to her.Her prime suspect was Kelsey.It ma

Zara’s claims were true. She was drugged at the party and ended up sleeping with Keith when she was in an inhibited state.However, the person who drugged her was not Kelsey, but Rosette.Zara confronted Kelsey sharply. “What, are you not going to admit it?”Kelsey's expression was glacial. “Why would I admit to something I didn’t do?”Zara shot back an equally ferocious look at her. “Looks like you’re not admitting it until I properly put you in your place!”With that, she suddenly raised her palm in the air and prepared to swing it across Kelsey’s face.Kelsey seized her wrist in an instant, then reprimanded her. “Zara, it seems that you may not realize that everything happening to you now is a direct result of how you have been treating people all along. It’s only a matter of time before karma comes back to you!”"You!” Zara was angered by the insult, her face became contorted with anger.“Don’t you think you can be so cocky just because you have Tyler helping you! You bette

The men in black stayed silent.Kelsey suddenly recalled Tyler’s previous warning about the recent troubling affairs in the city. It was said that the wives of several rich men had been kidnapped lately.Could this group of men be the suspects?They were not intending to kidnap her at first. It was only after Zara pointed out that she was Tyler's wife that they decided to go after Kelsey.Meanwhile, Zara was still begging for mercy. “You guys already have Tyler's wife, why don't you let me go instead? I might be a celebrity, but I don't have much money, I won’t be as valuable as Tyler’s wife…”Kelsey found her claims ironic.She was the one who had been coveting Tyler for ages!Only minutes ago, she was the one who ran up to her and shamelessly declared that she would steal Tyler.It did not take long at all for her to throw all of that away! Now, it seemed like the last thing she wanted to do was to don the glorious title of Tyler’s wife!“Shut up, we didn’t kidnap you for mo

Zara immediately grumbled upon evaluating her surroundings.Kelsey could not be bothered to engage with Zara. She went to the only window in the room and stood next to it.There was at least a mild airflow here which helped with dispersing the dust.Her coughing fit gradually stopped.However, the window was too small to crawl through so this could not be her escape route.“It’s all your fault!”Zara went to her and immediately sparked an argument.Kelsey rolled her eyes at her and refused to speak to her.There was too much dust in the room. The person talking would ingest a lot of dust.If Zara wanted to be a ‘vacuum cleaner’, then so be it.Zara, on the other hand, took Kelsey’s silence to mean that she was admitting that it was her fault they got into this situation.She continued to cuss at her.“They wouldn’t have kidnapped me if you would just leave me alone just now, you did this!”“Excuse me? Weren’t you the one who wouldn’t leave me alone?” Kelsey stated sharply.
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 422
As soon as Kelsey spoke, she heard footsteps coming from the door.“Don't worry, Jerome. I’ve got my eyes on them, they’re not going to get away!”The footsteps were followed by the deep, bellowing voice of a man.“Zara is here, the boss will be pleased!”Kelsey’s face dropped the moment she heard the man’s voice.Jerome?Jerome from Shadow Gale?She did not expect Barton, a mafia from overseas to have connections with the local organization, Shadow Gale.They were referring to Barton as the boss.It seemed like Barton had somehow managed to acquire Shadow Gale some time ago.While she was still pondering about this, the door was opened.One of the men who kidnapped them just now stepped inside with two containers filled with food.“Eat.”He ordered icily while tossing the lunch boxes on the floor.“It's on the floor, how am I supposed to eat that?” Zara grumbled.She would never eat anything that had been put on the floor.“I don’t care even if you don’t eat it!” He sn
Second Chance at Life and Love Chapter 423
The man’s reaction was frosty. “Let her suffer…”With that, he turned around and prepared to leave as if the matter did not concern him at all.At least it seemed like he was no longer interested in forcing Zara to eat the food that had been tossed on the floor and take pictures of her.At the same time, he was not interested in helping her.Upon noting this, Kelsey hurriedly chased after him.“You can't just leave her be! Your boss wants her. What are you going to do if something happens to her?” She tried to persuade the man.The man seemed to consider this for a moment.Zara continued pretending to be in pain. “Ugh, it hurts so bad… I’m going to die!”She forced herself to cry and made her suffering seem as realistic as possible.The man glared at her icily and grumbled irritably, “I’m not a doctor, what am I supposed to do about her stomach hurting?”“Can’t you take her to the hospital?” Kelsey suggested nonchalantly.“What hospital?” The man yelled angrily, “We’ll have

“You two better stop right there!”Bang, bang, bang!They heard the deafening sound of gunshots after the man shouted.Kelsey was not expecting the man to have a gun.Zara was horrified and shrieked.“Stop screaming and run!”Kelsey was getting annoyed.Zara trembled. “But… He has a gun…”Kelsey glared at her severely. “That’s exactly why we have to run faster! Do you want to get shot?”Zara shook her head vehemently after hearing this, and then she zipped her lips and sprinted as fast as she could.Kelsey ran like she had never run before.They had to keep running until their legs gave out, they could not risk stopping.If they were caught and brought back there, the consequences would have been dire.At the moment, their only objective was to run as fast as they could and get as far away from the factory as humanly possible.However, she overestimated Zara’s stamina.After running for a while, she was fatigued and stopped. She could not run anymore.“No, I can't do th

Kelsey suspected that Zara was taking advantage of the situation to get her killed.She would have loved it if the man shot Kelsey right in the head when instigated to get revenge for his friend.Zara had been trying to get rid of Kelsey for a while.“So it was you! You were the one who came up with the idea!”The man believed Zara's claims and aimed the gun at Kelsey.“I didn't kill your friend, he just passed out.” Kelsey tried to plead her case.The man glowered. “But you two still ran away, I’ll have to kill you!”Zara swooped in again with her rhetoric. “If you’re going to kill someone, just kill her! Your boss wants me alive, how are you going to explain killing me to him?”The man paused for a moment, he pondered it in his mind.Zara continued to incite him. “She’s different, she has no value for you anymore and if you kill her, you can also get revenge for your friend.”With that, the man aimed his gun at Kelsey again.He cocked back the safety and was ready to fire

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
