Charlie was seconds away from erupting in anger but managed to forcefully suppress it just in time.Within seconds, he switched to a pandering appearance. “Oh, if it isn’t you, Tyler.”Kelsey was admittedly impressed by how quickly her father could change his behavior.He looked like he was ready to brawl with Tyler but immediately upon recognizing him, he curbed his attitude.Tyler ignored Charlie and handed a phone to Kelsey. “You dropped this.”Kelsey inspected the phone and realized that it was her phone.While she was inside Tyler’s car just now, she had been absentmindedly scrolling her phone while her mind was occupied.After the car stopped, she stepped out of the car without thinking and ended up leaving her phone in his car.Did he show up just to return her phone?In a strange twist, he ended up accidentally bailing her out of a difficult situation!“Are you okay?” Tyler looked at her and expressed concern.Kelsey shook her head and expressed gratefully, “I’m fine
After all, the fact that Tyler showed up today suggested that he still cared about Kelsey.It would be best if the engagement could continue as originally planned!Kelsey also eyed Tyler nervously.Her father remarked that they were a pair of childhood sweethearts and had feelings for each other. However, the truth was slightly different.It was certainly true that they were a pair of childhood sweethearts. However, she had rejected him for many years and their mutual interest was only a recent development.For what it was worth, she genuinely wanted to be with Tyler now.She hoped her father could somehow convince the Langs to withdraw the decision to cancel the engagement and give her another chance.Unexpectedly, Tyler stated solemnly, “It was my uncle who made the call to cancel the engagement. The press conference has already been held…”Kelsey's heart dropped.Could this mean that he insisted on canceling the engagement as well?He may insist that it was his uncle's ide
Charlie immediately glared at Kelsey. “What did you say?”His glares were full of warnings. Now that Tyler had finally agreed to provide compensation, he would never let her hear the end of it if she messed it up!Kelsey ignored Charlie and repeated her stance. “I did it willingly because I have feelings for you, that’s why I…”Charlie saw red in an instant. “You shut your mouth!”His voice was trembling.Upon crying out, he angled his palm in the air, preparing to slap Kelsey across her face.However, Tyler intervened in time and seized his wrist firmly.Charlie yowled in pain. Upon meeting the deep and menacing look in Tyler’s eyes, he became so intimidated that he could not even speak.“It was my fault for breaking off the engagement. If you’re going to blame someone, blame it on me but don’t torment Kels!”He wore a tense expression while he spoke. His voice was filled with bass and carried an oppressing aura.Charlie hissed between his teeth. “I wouldn’t dare, Mr. Lang
Kelsey chuckled icily in response. “I’m sorry, ma’am, but you do realize that my mother is still alive, don't you? I don’t think you are a valid member of our family yet. Are you sure it’s right for you to take somebody else’s daughter as your own? If you mean to apologize, you should go to the hospital and apologize to my mother instead!”She had effectively disgraced Megan.Megan was so stunned that she could hardly utter a word.Kelsey was infuriated. How dare a mistress pretend to ask for her forgiveness and spout such nonsense about accepting her as a daughter?It was clear as day that the wretched woman had been coveting her mother’s position for a long time. Don’t even think about it!If she was truly apologetic, she should take her bastard daughter with her and remove themselves from the Young household immediately.Kelsey vowed to herself that it was the only form of apology she would expect.“Kelsey!” Charlie frowned in disapproval.He was upset at Kelsey being so dis
With that, Tyler walked away dejectedly.Sometimes, the only way to love was to let go!He wanted to let Kelsey be with Cooper.He did not want to possess her selfishly.He wanted to give her the happiness she wanted.Even if he was not going to be a part of that happiness.So long as she was happy, it was enough for him.Kelsey was very moved.She once read a quote in a book that said that if you liked someone, you would give them what you wanted them to have. If you loved someone, you would give them whatever they desired.Now she understood the reason Tyler suddenly decided to cancel the engagement. It was not because he no longer loved her anymore, but because he had truly loved her.Even if he had to endure the pain of losing his lover for the rest of his life, he would sacrifice himself because he did not want her to marry a man she did not love.Little did he know…She was no longer the same Kelsey she was in the past.Tyler was the one she had feelings for.She pr
If any of those women had their way, Tyler would be claimed by someone else.How was Kelsey to allow her man to be taken away by another woman?Especially not when the man still had feelings for her!No, she had to win him back no matter what!However, Tyler was nowhere to be seen by the time she rushed out of the house to find him.He had already driven away.He must have returned to work at the Lang Group by now!She decided not to disturb him during work hours and would only see him around the time he left the office.Since she had already left the house, she would be a fool to return.With that, she went to the hospital where her mother was hospitalized and kept her company.In the meantime, she also signed up for a fashion design competition online.Her mother was now in a vegetative state. There would be a series of treatments and the hospital fees would accumulate very quickly.By this point, Kelsey regretted allowing herself to be persuaded by Cooper into abandoning
The reason Zara came was to see Tyler before meeting their parents. She was sure it would not take long before they finalized the terms of their engagement.Then, Tyler would become her husband.Kelsey's expression dropped upon hearing this.“That’s impossible!”She cried out in disbelief.Zara swiped her a look filled with contempt. “What do you mean it’s impossible? I know you Youngs are drowning in debt, you guys shouldn’t even consider yourselves one of the upper-class households anymore! Don’t even dream about marrying into the Langs anymore, they have been planning to tie the knot with my family for some time! We’re going to form a powerful alliance!” Kelsey pursed her lips tightly and clenched her fists on instinct.She had to admit that the Youngs’ fortune had slid off a cliff ever since her mother’s accident that put her into a coma.Since then, her father had been distracted with reconciling with his old lover and had not been attending to the family corporation.
There was one specific incident when a classmate doing sit-ups with Zara during their physical class casually commented about her odor. After that, the girl was never seen in the school again.It was said that her whole family was driven out of the city.The subject of body odor had always been a taboo for Zara.She was very wary of having people around her mention it.Her wariness doubled now that she was a celebrity. She would not stand for anyone pointing out her flaws.She was shocked to hear Kelsey exposing her in public today.If she could, she would kill Kelsey right then and there.However, she was now a public figure and they were in the lobby of the Lang Group building. There were many bystanders surrounding them.Furthermore, she had curated an ‘angelic’ image around her stardom. She could not risk ruining the public image she had taken so much time and effort to craft.With that, she suppressed her anger and hissed between her teeth. “Just you wait, Kelsey.”Then,
