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,
Kelsey waited for what seemed like ages in the underground parking lot of the building but Tyler was nowhere to be seen.At one point, she got a call from her best friend, Yvonne, who suddenly asked her for a quick meeting.Kelsey could immediately sense something off with Yvonne’s tone. It sounded as if she had just cried.With that, she suggested. “Let's meet at the same bar we went to last time!”With that, she briskly hung up and rushed to the exit of the parking lot.Yvonne had hardly been able to catch a break ever since she married her current husband, Adam.Kelsey wondered if the reason Yvonne had called her crying this time had something to do with her husband finding out about the money Yvonne lent to her last time.Adam was a man who took financial matters very seriously.If he found out about Yvonne borrowing Kelsey two hundred thousand dollars without informing him, there was no telling what he would do.Kelsey decided she would not wait for Tyler. She had to rush
“Wait, it’s you?" Kelsey gasped in shock.She was sure she had called Yvonne for help. Why was it Tyler who answered the call?She swiped a glance at her phone before she finally realized that she had accidentally dialed Tyler's number while she was panicking.Before Yvonne called her, she had been waiting for Tyler in the parking lot.During her wait, she had called him several times but he never picked up.It was a surprise that he picked up the phone so quickly this time.“Who else were you expecting?” Tyler grumbled into the phone.Kelsey had no time to explain by this point seeing as the group of men were about to catch up to her. She cried out, “Help! I need help…”Tyler frowned. “Where are you?”“I’m in the parking lot right outside your office building, call the po….”Before she could even utter ‘police’, her phone was snatched away.She knew that it would take too long for Tyler to come to rescue her.That was why she asked him to call the police for her.What she
Tyler paused and turned around sharply.He saw Kelsey lying on the ground in a disheveled state. She was trembling all over.She looked at him. Her eyes were covered in tears…She must have been frightened by the traumatic experience.In an instant, Tyler felt a sharp throb of pain in his heart as if he had been stabbed.He immediately went toward Kelsey. A soft and gentle glow immediately appeared in his hawk-like gaze.“I’m sorry for coming so late!”He embraced her tightly and whispered an apology in her ears.Upon being pulled into his embrace and feeling the familiar heat of his body, Kelsey felt safe all of a sudden.With that, she slowly stopped trembling.All the while, she clenched onto his shirt tightly.She would not stop murmuring, “Please don’t leave me, please don’t leave me.”Tyler tightened his embrace.“I won't leave, I'll always be with you, alright?” He gently comforted Kelsey.Kelsey pressed her cheek against him and felt his chest moving with every br
