“Kelsey, how much more shameless can you be? You have been leeching off us for years, it’s time for you to pay back what you owe us!”

Kelsey rebuked him calmly, “You have been leeching off my mother for just as long, why haven’t I seen you making efforts to pay back the debt?”

The reason why the Youngs even got to where they were today was because of her mother’s inheritance she received from her grandfather.

At the time, Charlie had no assets to his name. He was as broke as they come.

If not for her mother, Hailey, insisting on marrying him and making him the heir of her grandfather’s assets, he would not have any kind of capital.

Since the beginning, Charlie had married Hailey for his benefit. Even when they started to become closer, he already found his match in Megan.

Even after he married Hailey, he continued to maintain an indecent relationship with Megan which later led to the birth of their illegitimate daughter, Josephine.

Charlie had deceived Hailey and claimed what ri

    They wanted her to apologize again?This was not the first time that her father demanded her to apologize to his mistress.It was clear that it was his mistress who was out of line and disrespected her mother first.She admitted she may be in the wrong for having assaulted Megan, but her father had done more than enough to even the score by slapping her just now.Why should she apologize again?“Not unless she apologizes to Mom first!” Kelsey argued.If Megan was not going to apologize for insulting her mother, why should she be the only one apologizing?“You’re itching for me to punish you, aren’t you?” Charlie threatened her severely.Kelsey was unfazed by the threat.“Sure, bring it on!” She sneered smugly. “If you don’t want the compensation from the Langs anymore, then go ahead and do your worst!”Charlie's pupils shrank upon hearing this.He suddenly remembered Tyler’s threat before he left.Still, he was infuriated by his daughter having the audacity to hit his lady.

    Little did Kelsey know, Josephine had been following her.Upon entering the bar, she immediately ordered a glass of hard liquor and started drinking.Soon, Yvonne arrived.When she observed Kelsey's slightly swollen face, she could not suppress her shock.“Kels, what happened to you?”Kelsey turned up to face her and proceeded to down the entire glass of liquor. “What else do you think? My old man, of course!”Yvonne frowned. “Did your dad hit you again?”Yvonne was aware that since Kelsey's mother became vegetative following the car accident, her relationship with her father had become extremely tense.Charlie wanted to claim all of her mother's assets for himself. Furthermore, he wanted to let his mistress and their illegitimate daughter stake their place in the family and replace Kelsey’s mother.To save her mother's life, Kelsey had to constantly guard herself and her mother against the dangerous ploys of her father and the mistress. This had led to plenty of conflicts bet

    Kelsey could not help but worry about her. “But your mother-in-law is even worse than him! If she moves in to live with you, she’s only going to make your life worse than it was before!”Yvonne sighed faintly. “I know, I'm mentally prepared for it!”What else was she supposed to do?She did not want to risk offending her husband because of his mother.With that, the pair of best friends drank and confided in each other.At one point, Yvonne's phone rang. After she answered it, her expression changed.“Mom... Oh… I'll be back right away!” Yvonne spoke timidly.“What's wrong? Who was it?” Kelsey immediately noticed how Yvonne had broken out into a cold sweat and could not help but wonder.Yvonne expressed anxiously, “It’s my mother-in-law calling to check on me! Sorry, Kels, I can't keep you company anymore, I have to go back right now!”“Hey…” Kelsey barely had time to say anything before Yvonne got up and hurried out of the bar like a gust of wind.She was afraid of what her

    Bang!Kelsey was already dizzy before this. After the man grabbed her and violently swung her against the wall, everything around her seemed to spin, and she saw stars.She felt as if she was going to collapse to the floor.The man seized the chance to hold her and smiled triumphantly. “Just wait, I’ll deal with you tonight!”He prepared to carry Kelsey on his shoulders and take her out of the bar with him.Unexpectedly, someone suddenly lifted him off the ground.“Hey…who is it that dares to…”He cried out furiously but froze with shock the moment he turned around to face the other person.The two men standing behind him were both a head taller than him. They were very muscular and looked like they knew how to fight.One of them barely had to exert any strength when they picked him up like a toddler.“Hey, you are…” The man’s entire demeanor shifted.He could barely finish protesting before he was thrown to the side.It was followed by the dull clash of his body slamming i

    “No, it wasn’t me…”The man was horrified. The fact that he had messed with someone he could not afford to mess with was finally settling in. He shook his head so vigorously that his neck was going to snap at any given moment.There was a sharp, icy look in Tyler’s eyes. The atmosphere in the bar had plummeted to a freezing point.“It's not him…”Kelsey pouted and tugged at his arm.She drew closer to him and expressed timidly, “He doesn’t have anything to do with my swollen cheeks, but he is responsible for this bruise on my forehead because he slammed me into…”The man was about to heave a sigh of relief until Kelsey got to the second part of her statement. He shivered with fear again.A murderous look reverted to Tyler’s eyes as he glared at the man.The man immediately got on his knees and begged for mercy, “I’m sorry, I am such a fool…”He barely managed to finish pleading before Tyler's bodyguard dragged him out of the bar.“Deal with him!”A severe look glowered in Ty

    The look in Tyler's eyes deepened faintly. “Why should I hand her over to you?”Cooper met his gaze and spoke coyly with an added smirk, “Because she is my girlfriend!”Something menacing glowered deep under Tyler’s eyes. “Hasn't she broken up with you?”Cooper’s expression drooped ever so slightly, and then he promptly explained, “We just had a fight, we never actually broke up!”He proceeded to reach for Kelsey after this.However, Tyler did not seem like he was intent on handing her over at all.“Mr. Lang, haven’t you publicly called off the engagement?” Cooper mentioned the news suddenly.Tyler cocked a look at him. “What about it?”Cooper expressed grimly, “Since you are no longer related to her, you should keep your distance from her, otherwise…”He had barely finished speaking when Kelsey, who was coddled inside Tyler’s arm, frowned and lashed out, “Quit yapping!”The liquor was kicking in and making her feel nauseous. The constant buzzing of Cooper’s voice droning on

    Both men were stunned upon hearing this.As it turned out, Kelsey was so drunk that she could not tell Cooper's voice from Tyler’s.She assumed it was Tyler who offered to take her home.Cooper's eyes darkened in an instant. His hand was halfway through reaching for Kelsey when it hung suspended in the air.Tyler instinctively tightened his hold on Kelsey. A smirk slowly formed on the corner of his lips.Kelsey had specified that she wanted to go home with him!“Kelsey, are you sure you’re not mistaken? It’s me, Cooper. Don't you want to come with me?” Cooper refused to yield.He felt a surge of anger swelling inside him when he observed the way Kelsey had completely submitted herself into Tyler’s arms.“Oh my god, Tyler, it’s so noisy here!” She frowned irritably and started nudging herself against Tyler. “Can’t you just take me home already?”Something shimmered underneath Tyler’s eyes.This time, he heard it loud and clear.Kelsey was asking him to take her home.He was

    However, Cooper was indifferent tonight and hardly reacted to Josephine’s fervent kiss.He kept his eyes open the entire time and stared at Josephine’s features, which closely resembled Kelsey’s.For a moment, he wondered what it would be like if Kelsey kissed him the way Josephine did.Kelsey was born a noble. Compared to Josephine who was born a bastard, she was very conservative.Even though they had dated in the past, she would blush even when they were just holding hands.Sharing a passionate kiss by the roadside was completely out of the question.It was not something Kelsey would ever consider doing.The reason he had been claimed by Josephine was that he had been lured by her otherwise promiscuous personality.Even though Josephine looked sweet and innocent on the outside, she was very experienced with men. She knew how to use her sexual charm.She was simply irresistible to most men.Just like tonight. She was showering Cooper with passionate kisses.However, Cooper

    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
