“Mr. Vernon, you’re not going to make an enemy out of Mr. Lang, are you?” Kelsey confronted his gaze and asked out of nowhere.

Mr. Vernon sneered sarcastically. “Did you think I’d be afraid of that brat?”

Kelsey grimaced. “You might not be afraid of him, but surely there is no need to stir something up just for the sake of a woman, don’t you agree?”

Mr. Vernon laughed roaringly upon hearing this.

“You are right, there is certainly no need for me to make an enemy out of Mr. Lang for a woman! Still… It also depends on what kind of woman we’re talking about.”

Upon reaching this note, his expression suddenly became especially sinister. His tone dropped to a slow drawl as well.

“I have already done my research. Mr. Lang has publicly called off the engagement with you and you don’t have any relations with him now. Do you think he will oppose me for the sake of a woman he’s already having his fill of fun with?”

Kelsey was taken aback by this piece of information.

    While approaching Kelsey, Mr. Vernon began to undress himself.“Must be nice to be young. Your skin is as fair as the day you were born.”He savored Kelsey’s beauty with a perverted expression. Soon, his coarse fingers began to run across Kelsey’s cheeks while he clicked his tongue with pleasure.Kelsey felt goosebumps running all over her body.She would rather die than be taken advantage of by such a perverted old man.“What you are doing is illegal! Even if my father accepted your dowry, I haven't agreed to marry you, aren’t you worried about me reporting you to the police after this?”Although her consciousness was slowly being corrupted by the effects of the drug, she did what she could to save herself.Mr. Vernon only grew more arrogant and laughed roaringly upon hearing her vacant threats.“Report me to the police? After I'm done with you, I'll have you thrown into the sea to sleep with the fishes, then I won’t have to worry about you calling the police!” he stated with

    Tyler strode to the bed.He observed the way Kelsey lay on the bed with her dress torn into tatters.His brows were furrowed tightly.Then, he immediately removed his suit jacket and wrapped it snugly around her body before bending over to carry her in his arms.Kelsey could feel herself enveloped in his familiar scent clinging onto the fabric of the suit jacket.Just like that, she suddenly felt secure.She knew that with him around, nothing ill would happen to her.At the same time, the familiar scent of his body had also stoked the flame of desire that erupted deep within her.She moaned softly and plunged into Tyler's arms with her head still spinning. She was filled with the immense desire to have Tyler pin her on the bed and have his way with her.Tyler’s expression darkened when he noticed how odd her behavior was.He turned to Mr. Vernon with a sharp look in his eyes. “What did you do to her?”“I… It’s…” Mr. Vernon buckled underneath the pressure of his intent gaze a

    “Would you like me to help you?” Tyler growled in her ears, his voice primal.As soon as he said that, Kelsey did not take another second longer to kiss him.Tyler was slightly taken aback by the swiftness, then he palmed the back of her head and matched her intensity.Kelsey's lips tasted as sweet as ever on his, it was a taste he could never forget.As Tyler returned Kelsey’s kiss, she became increasingly drunk with passion.At this precise moment, nothing else was on her mind other than raw pleasure.She tilted her head upward to him and reciprocated his advances.She would like to make out with him forever, but that was when Tyler unexpectedly pulled away.Her eyes had grown misty with lust at this point. She looked at him feeling confused.Her lips had become swollen from making out and she was panting for breath.More than anything else, she was puzzled. Why did he stop suddenly?Tyler lifted her chin and stared deeply into her eyes. “Who am I?”Kelsey had to do a dou

    Tyler's eyes were filled with a troubled look.Then, Kelsey began to whimper again.She would not stop twisting and turning.Tyler held her steady in his arms and pressed his lips closely against her ears to whisper to her, “What is it, Kels?”Kelsey moaned. “I’m burning…and so turned on!”Tyler observed her beet red complexion and the sweat trickling down her forehead. He seemed to have realized something at last.What he finally became aware of had completely caught him off guard!He could not believe that Mr. Vernon would use such a drug on Kelsey.What a gross old pervert!It seemed like crippling him was not sufficient as a punishment.He could not help but feel a terrible throb of pain deep inside him when he observed the way Kelsey was suffering.He sighed deeply and pressed his weight against her again.Throughout the entire night, he completely drained himself to satisfy Kelsey’s urges.It was only until dawn when Kelsey’s restlessness finally subsided.The two f

    Now that Yvonne had fallen out with her parents because of Adam, she no longer had anyone to help her.Every time she faced hardship, the only one she could vent to was Kelsey.“Kels, I... I… Adam hit me…” she stammered through her speech and wrenched the words out with anguish and hurt.Kelsey was taken aback. “What did you just say? Adam... How could he… How could he hit you?”She never imagined that her best friend would become a victim of domestic violence.Yvonne sobbed. “Where are you now? I want to see you!”“I…” Kelsey suddenly stuttered, she did not know how to respond.She could not possibly tell her that she was still at Tyler's house after they just had a night of passion and indulgence.Especially not when Yvonne was going through a hard time after being abused by her husband.Kelsey decided she had to rush over to Yvonne to offer some comfort.“Where are you? I'll come to you!” she asked decisively.Yvonne’s tone was calm as she replied, “I’m at… I’m on the top

    By the time Kelsey arrived at Mount Kineu by cab, it was raining cats and dogs.She did not have to scale to the top of the mountain because she spotted the lonely figure of Yvonne in a pavilion at the foot of the mountain.“Yvonne!”Kelsey's heart dropped the moment she saw Yvonne and she immediately ran toward her best friend.When she reached her, she realized that Yvonne had been drenched from head to toe.She must have been on the mountaintop when it started raining and had to come down to seek shelter from the rain.However, the rain must have been heavier than she expected, which resulted in her being completely drenched by the time she found shelter.Kelsey made sure to inspect her carefully and upon noting that she had not sustained any injuries, she heaved a sigh of relief.It seemed like Adam had not struck her hard enough to leave wounds.“Kels!” Yvonne grew emotional the moment she saw Kelsey. Her eyes teared up.Kelsey immediately removed her coat and threw it a

    “He cares too much for his mother!” Yvonne's eyes darkened as she expressed with a fit of irritation, “It was only after she moved in that it occurred to me that he is a complete mama’s boy!”Kelsey argued. “Even if he did love his mother, it does not justify him hitting his wife, does it? Besides, you have done so much for him in the past, how could he do this to you?”Tears stirred in Yvonne's eyes. “Before we got married, I asked him who was more important to him—me or his mother. Just to please me, he lied and told me that I was more important! Now, I am starting to realize that I don’t hold any significant place in his heart at all and never will!”Kelsey drew a deep breath.As it turned out, Yvonne was just like her. They were the type to be blinded by love and believed everything a man said.It ended with them getting tricked and losing everything.She would not let her best friend repeat the same mistake in her lifetime.“Yvonne, why don't you stay in my mother's apartme

    She was flabbergasted!The man standing outside was Cooper!Before she even had time to react, Cooper had already spread his arms wide open and took her into his embrace without a word.“Kels, how are you? Are you okay? Josephine told me you didn't go home last night and I kept calling you but you didn’t answer. Do you know how worried I was? Do you know how dangerous it is for a girl to wander by herself all night?”Upon reaching this note, there was a tinge of hesitation in his voice as he continued, “Thankfully you’ve been in your mother's apartment this entire time. Why do you look so pale? Did you not get any sleep last night?”He uttered everything in one breath.Kelsey had been drugged last night and spent all night getting some action with Tyler.After finding out about Yvonne being abused by her husband this morning, she rushed to Mount Kineu to find her.She was beyond exhausted by this point and could barely compose a thought because her mind was so numb.Furthermor

    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
