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
Tyler was stiff with shock. His entire body tensed in response.The girl was deliberately seducing him!Kelsey seemed to be unaware of what she was doing.She curled her lips into a faint smile, then she reached forward and wrapped her arms around Tyler's neck.She was driven by the liquor running through her veins and was acting on her deepest desires.She raised an eyebrow and inched closer to Tyler until at one point, she suddenly called out his name, “Tyler!”“Yeah?” Tyler spoke with a deep, impenetrable look in his eyes.Something stirred in Kelsey’s beautiful eyes. She angled herself toward him and seemed more angelic than ever.“I want to sleep with you!”“…”The car suddenly braked without any warning and jerked violently.It was the driver who accidentally stepped on the brakes upon hearing what Kelsey said.Kelsey was caught off guard by the shift in momentum and nearly fell off Tyler’s lap.Fortunately, Tyler reacted just in time and held her tightly in his arms
