If Cooper had not tried to take advantage of Kelsey to lure Tyler out to kill him, none of this would have happened.

They would not have found themselves in this dilemma of choosing whether to look after Zara or not.

Cooper was the source of all her troubles.

“Kelsey!” Cooper studied her with a deep, profound look.

She was dressed in a hospital gown with the collar slightly parted while her hair was tangled. He could catch a glimpse of her defined collarbone and her fair skin.

Although it was just a common hospital gown, it seemed especially alluring to Cooper.

He could not control himself anymore and without warning, he pulled her into his arms.

Kelsey was horrified, her first reaction was to squirm away.

“Let me go!” she cried out in a disgusted voice.

“Keep your voice down, do you want Tyler's bodyguards to storm in here?” Cooper cautioned her in a suppressed voice.

He had made a point of waiting until midnight for Tyler's bodyguards to take a break so he could slip into t

    As long as Cooper took down Tyler, he would get to claim Kelsey!Kelsey's eyes glowed with animosity.Just as she prepared to jab a kick at Cooper to shake him off…Cooper finally let her go and retreated from the ward with a dark look on his face.Kelsey wiped her lips that Cooper managed to graze against just now.It was just a tiny peck on the cheek, he never got any more than that.Despite that, she felt goosebumps run all over her body whenever Cooper touched her.A kiss of all things made it even worse.Kelsey regretted not calling the bodyguard over to have him thrown out immediately.She ended up giving Cooper a chance to harass her and even go as far as to kiss her.In her past life, he would not kiss her even if she had blatantly asked him to do so.He had regarded Tyler as his enemy and just the fact that she had been with Tyler made him detest her. She ended up becoming his enemy by extension.Now, it looked like the fact that she had slept with Tyler no longer

    Tyler put his arms around Kelsey’s waist, then lowered himself toward her lips to kiss her.“Ah…”Kelsey moaned faintly, then her voice was drowned out by Tyler’s kiss.It had been a long time since they kissed so affectionately.Tyler held her tightly as if he wanted to fuse their bodies into one.It did not take long before the intensity of the kiss increased.He simply could not get enough of her.Kelsey nearly suffocated from the kiss.Every time she tried to move away, Tyler pulled her back in.It was to the point where she felt like she was going to pass out.At last, Tyler reluctantly released her.A misty look clouded over Kelsey’s doll-like eyes.Her face was flushed with red, which only added more to her allure.Tyler pressed her against the wall while taking care to palm the back of her head with his hand.He leaned closer and fixed a deep, profound look at her.“What should we do? It feels like it’s getting hot in here,” he asked in a low drawl.Kelsey made

    “Zara?” Yvonne frowned on instinct the moment she heard the name.Even when unconscious, Zara somehow found a way to snatch Tyler away from Kelsey!Yvonne remembered that if it was not for Zara’s nefarious schemes, she would never have suffered a miscarriage.“Why does her surgery have anything to do with your husband? Just like me, you are too kind for your own good! That's why people can take advantage of you!” Yvonne advised Kelsey.Kelsey could not let Zara snatch Tyler away from her!The look in Kelsey’s eyes was dark.She knew Yvonne was only looking out for her so she would not make the same mistake.It was true that she could not slip up now and let the Quests swipe in on the opportunity.She could not let Zara snatch Tyler away from her.“Anna, please take my luggage back home.” She decided on her next move, then she turned to Anna. “I won’t be going home just yet.”Anna was thrown off. “Where are you going?”Kelsey smiled and announced, “I’m going to be with Tyler.

    Ava was incensed by this.“What do you mean he’s not coming? If I had to guess, he’s worried that the operation would fail and he doesn’t want to be dragged into this mess, that’s why he’s skipping out!” Ava ranted.Carlos was mindful of his words because Tyler was present at the scene with them.“Quit yapping, the most important thing we should worry about is whether the operation works out or not,” he stated solemnly.Unfortunately, Ava could not catch what he was trying to hint at. Instead, she started to lash out at him. “This is all your fault! Zara wasn’t going to marry Keith, but you were the one who insisted on giving her to them! Look what you’ve done, they didn’t even bother to check up on Zara when they found out about something so terrible happening!”Ava was so furious that she hardly cared about Tyler and Kelsey hearing her rants.Since her daughter was admitted to the hospital, none of the members of Keith’s family had come to visit her.It was clear that the Le

    Even if Tyler refused to marry her, the Quests would make him take care of Zara for the rest of her life.Kelsey was Tyler’s wife, how was she supposed to stomach this?Although she had always wanted Zara to pay for what she had done, she was praying that the operation would turn out successful.If the operation was successful, at least Zara would not have to latch onto Tyler.After a few hours, the status light in the operating room was finally switched off.Several surgeons donned in white coats stepped outside.The lead surgeon who came from abroad was the one Tyler had forked out a significant sum to hire. “How is it, Edward?”Tyler went up to him and enquired about Zara’s status.Zara’s parents, Cleo, and the other members of the Quests went up to the doctor.Kelsey suddenly grew nervous.If the surgeon revealed that the operation failed, the Quests were going to force Tyler to get divorced so they could hold him hostage.Fortunately, the surgeon announced, “The opera

    Tyler had only just gotten home with Kelsey when Shawn went up to him urgently. “Boss, we have a situation!”Tyler frowned. “What's going on?”Kelsey could feel herself tensing up.It must have something to do with Zara. Perhaps her condition was more serious than expected and the Quests were not going to give it a rest.Shawn answered, “The urban development project we put a bid for has just been handed over to the Lyons.”Tyler was uncharacteristically taken aback by the news. “What?”Kelsey's reaction was similar.How did the Lyons manage to get their hands on such a crucial project?Shawn nodded. “The government just announced it, word is that it was approved by the newly appointed deputy mayor who wanted to accelerate the development of the new urban area.”Kelsey frowned tightly upon hearing this. She was beyond infuriated.She was one step too late.In her past life, Cooper managed to turn his situation around and build a business empire solely because of this project

    It was the only way Kelsey could console herself.A few days later, she saw a news article online about James, the eldest son of the Lyons, officially announcing that he was marrying Cerys.The elder Lyon himself had been very insistent about his stance. He had mentioned time and time again that if James were to marry Cerys, he would disown James.In other words, since James was insistent with proceeding to marry Cerys, it was only a matter of time until he got disowned and lost his status as the heir of the family.The one thing Kelsey dreaded the most was happening.In her past life, James died in a car accident that was masterminded by Cooper. It was how Cooper managed to seize the keys to the Lyon Corporation.Knowing that, she had diligently protected James and prevented Cooper’s assassination plans from falling through.She assumed that as long as James was well and alive, Cooper was never going to get a chance to ascend the family throne. After all, James was the rightful

    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
