“I want to see Tyler!”Zara was still making a scene downstairs.The driver tried to stop her but was overpowered.It was at that crucial moment when Tyler appeared.“What are you screaming about?”He was visibly unimpressed by the display. A dark, grave look glowed in his eyes.“Tyler!” Zara cried out frantically upon seeing him.The driver cast a helpless look at Tyler. “Boss…”Tyler ordered, “You can go now!”The driver nodded quickly. “Yes, sir!”With that, Tyler and Zara were the only ones left remaining.Zara impatiently rushed to Tyler.“Tyler, why are you still with that girl?” she could not accept it and asked with her voice quaking with anger.The Langs had already broken off the engagement with Youngs. There was no reason for Tyler to associate himself with Kelsey anymore.Why would Kelsey be staying in his villa?She was sure she saw Tyler carrying Kelsey out of his car and into his house. She noticed the way Kelsey’s clothes were disheveled.Only God knew w
“I really don't know them…”“You’re still trying to make excuses?” Tyler stared severely at her. “I have already done my investigation. This group of people are all from the same hometown as your assistant, Janine. These hooligans helped you with many other dirty jobs in the entertainment industry over the years. What you do behind the scenes is none of my concern but now that you have hurt my woman, I will no longer tolerate it. You should be thankful that I am only removing your family from one project, that’s as light as the punishment gets. Would you like me to punish you specifically instead?”Zara felt her heart lurch.She did not expect Tyler to have found out about Janine. It looked like he had found out about everything there was to know.She no longer had any grounds to deny her involvement.However, she was still very upset.“I just told them to give Kelsey a warning, it’s not like they did anything to her.” She complained wryly, “It was Kelsey’s fault to continue pest
It was over, it was all over!Kelsey was hoping to get Tyler back.She was sure Tyler would hate her even more now that she threw up on him.All because she got drunk!If she had known this was going to happen, she would not have drunk so much last night.All things considered, It was not her fault!It was Megan and Charlie’s fault for trying to get her to marry that filthy old Mr. Vernon!After she objected and started a huge argument with them, she resorted to running away!That was how she ended up drinking too much with Yvonne in the bar.She believed there was a man who tried to flirt with her in the bar last night. Around that point, Tyler showed up just in time to save her.Then, she thought about the series of ridiculous things she did and said in her fit of drunkenness last night.She was beyond ashamed.Fortunately, Tyler was not around, otherwise she would not even know how she was supposed to face him!She hurriedly threw off the blanket and got out of bed to g
Kelsey suggested. “How about I do something else instead?”Tyler gave her a look before announcing, “Your punishment will be to cook for me for a week!”Kelsey nearly shrieked. “Cook?”She did not know how to cook.Tyler narrowed his eyes into a squint. “You can’t cook?”Kelsey gritted her teeth and declared, “I will do my best to learn how to!”Although she had never cooked before, she figured there was a first time for everything.She wanted to leave a good impression on Tyler and was willing to take the leap for him.Tyler grinned faintly upon hearing this.That was when Kelsey’s stomach began to growl as well.“Are you hungry?” Tyler fixed a look on her.Kelsey cringed inwardly and excused herself. “I’ll cook something right now.”With that, she quickly scuttled into the dresser and got changed. After that, she went downstairs to the kitchen.This was the first time she had ever been in the kitchen at all.She was the eldest lady of the Youngs household.Even though
Kelsey felt tempted to challenge herself.She tried to recall how Talia used to make grilled potatoes so she could reiterate the process.With that, she turned on the stove and poured oil into the pan.She was creating her best impression of a master chef.However, since it was her first time cooking, she was not sure how much was the right amount of oil.She ended up being careless and poured too much oil.However, she was not aware of her mistake. She then tossed in the aromatics such as ginger, scallions, and onions.After frying them for a while, she noticed the pan had been dried out of oil.She wondered if it was because she had not poured in enough oil.With that, she added more oil to the pan.To prevent the pan from drying out again again, she added more oil this time to the point where the entire pan was simmering with glossy oil.Soon, she realized she had put too much oil to the point where it resembled a soup more than anything.The potatoes were not cooking.
As if Kelsey was made of glass.With his soothing kisses, Kelsey soon stopped fidgeting from her nerves.She was not as agitated as before and soon managed to compose herself.Tyler slowly pulled away from her.Kelsey still felt terrible about what happened and apologized sincerely, “I am so sorry for burning down your kitchen!”She said this with a marked hint of innocence and embarrassment written across her face.Tyler was not upset. On the contrary, he was mesmerized by how adorable she looked.He reached forward and gently flicked at her nose. “It’s no big deal at all, the only thing that matters is you’re safe. I wouldn’t have cared less even if the entire house burned down as long as you’re okay.”He would always be surprised by the things that he would say to Kelsey.He simply did not have the heart to blame her.Kelsey was briefly taken aback by the response. She was filled with a warm, fuzzy feeling.She blinked in disbelief and asked again, “Are you sure it’s fine
Tyler smiled in his usual charming way. “You'll know once we get there!”With that, he stepped on the pedal and brought them to a private manor by the sea.This particular coastal area was purchased by a certain wealthy man who then had contractors build his private manor here. It was a place designed for wealthy upper-class people to spend time in.It was no surprise that it was the go-to place for the wealthy people of Abervale to indulge in luxury.It was said that a meal in the manor was equivalent to several months of salary for common folks.“Why are we here?” Kelsey stared transfixed at the incredible view of the sea as she blurted out the question.“Because they have good seafood here!” Tyler smiled.He knew that Kelsey loved seafood more than anything else.Kelsey smiled upon hearing this. She had a smile that would make people swoon over her.For her part, she would not be bothered even if they were not having seafood.The most crucial thing was that she got to be w
The manager was confused by this and interrupted them. “Weren’t you two requesting a private two-person box?”The manager’s claim suggested that the pair had made plans to dine together in this specific place.They simply did not expect to run into Kelsey at the entrance and had to make up something on the spot.However, the lie they had drawn up was too flimsy.Seeing that Josephine had been exposed, Cooper decided to own up to the truth. “I was the one who asked Josephine to come.”Kelsey chuckled to herself.The cat was out of the bag and Cooper was admitting the truth.Unexpectedly, Cooper suddenly changed the subject.“Josephine was telling me that your father is trying to marry you to the old Mr. Vernon? I decided to call her out here so we can talk about what’s happening and see if we can figure something out to help you.”He regarded Kelsey with a fixed look and pretended as if he was sincerely looking out for her.Kelsey would be a fool to fall for his trick.“Did I
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
