Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 112

"You and your parents are the ones managing the company right now. Did Kendall help out anything?"

Even if she was feeling smug on the inside at his disdainful words toward Kendall, she reproached him lightly, "Brian, don't talk bad about her. Although she's from the country, my biological parents have showered her with love by giving her the best they could afford. Now that she's incorporated into the company, she'll climb the ladder slowly under my father's guidance. The company ultimately belongs to the Parkers, and I'm just an outsider. So, the company needs her in the future."

He retorted, "If your father hands over the company to her, it'll meet its demise in less than six months!"

Even if Kendall wasn't the undoing for the company's downfall, he would go against Parker Corporation until it ceased operations. Until Adam was willing to pass the authority to Kelly, the company was destined to shut down in any case.

Kelly buttoned up her mouth upon hearing his remark until her phone rang. She quickly fished out her phone and answered the call. "Dad."

Knowing that it was Adam calling on the other side of the line, he didn't eavesdrop their conversation and minded his own business.

A few minutes later, Kelly hung up the phone, and awkwardness passed over her face. "Brian, Dad is asking me to go back home, but I'm still worried about Auntie and Jackson."

"You should leave first. He just consumed something he shouldn't have, and the doctor said he's fine. He can be discharged once he wakes up."

After contemplating for a moment, she nodded. "I'll inform Auntie about it. Give me a second."

"Okay." Brian was always meek in the face of her requests.

When Kelly returned to the room, Rosemi was still weeping. Seeing the incoming girl, Rosemi wiped away her tears. "Kelly, why hasn't he woke up yet?"

"Auntie, don't worry too much about him. The doctor said he's fine and he will wake up soon."

Rosemi hummed in response before reprimanding, "That brat better hide herself well or she'll never get away from me. Did she think that she could be his wife after this?!"

Kelly paused momentarily before testing the water. "Auntie, do you have anyone in mind who wants to marry him the most?"

"Kendall Parker! Yes, it must be her! That shameless mare. How dare she scheme against my son?! Once Jackson's awake, I'll find her tomorrow!"

She was really sure that it was Kendall, as she even told Kelly, "Kelly, I know I'm putting you in a difficult position, but I can never endure such a disgrace. Are you willing to see that peasant getting in the way when you and Jackson love each other?"

"Auntie, I'm sure that she had acted on impulse." Kelly's accusatory words had put the blame on her sister.

"Kelly, is there something you're hiding? Was it really her? That shameless girl! Jackson promised to

marry her, yet she refused to! Did it get on her nerves when I visited your family to bring up the marriage between you and Jackson?"

"Auntie, I think we should put things to an end since things didn't turn out to be the worst. Besides, Kendall is staying with the Coleman Family right now. Are you going to go there just to find her?"

A momentary silence filled the room before Rosemi asked, "Master Dylan is a nice person, isn't he?"

"Auntie, think about Jackson and Whittle Holdings. We shouldn't go to their place to find her in such a manner. Let's wait until she returns home. It won't be too late to settle the score with her by then."

Thinking about Dylan, who was notorious for his aloof disposition, Rosemi shuddered in fear. "Okay, Kelly. Let's do as you say."

Then, she held Kelly's hands. "Kelly, I'm so sorry for everything. You've cared so much for us, and Jackson truly loves you, but… Don't worry. You're the only future daughter-in-law I truly approve of. No one can ever snatch your place."

Kelly smiled. "Oh, right. About what Jackson had done to Miss Caddel—"

"What about it? They didn't do anything, did they? Other than the ripped dress, Krystal Caddel isn't hurt in any way. I'll give her a gown for compensation when the time comes."

Rosemi deemed her son innocent since he didn't ravish Krystal. Besides, the Caddel Family was nothing compared to them. The precondition to marry Jackson was having a well-matched family. As long as the girl was someone from a family that had a lower status than theirs, Rosemi wouldn't even spare a glance at her.

"But there were so many witnesses. I'm afraid the Caddel Family wouldn't let Jackson get away from this easily. Although they aren't on par with us, they are affiliated with the Zorn Family. So, the Zorns will be on their side for sure. Now, Jackson is left with two choices—either he becomes an enemy to the two families, or he marries Krystal as his wife."

Rosemi's face blanched upon realization. She almost forgot that Mrs. Caddel was Mrs. Zorn's cousin. Even if the Whittles looked down upon the Caddel Family, they wouldn't be in their right minds to offend the Zorns. Jackson did mention that Kelly would persuade Miss Zorn to help them too. Things became complicated within seconds. The sheer thought of Kendall being the troublemaker infuriated Rosemi.

"Auntie, don't overthink it first. Let's wait until Jackson wakes up. I wanted to stay with you, but my father called me home. So, do give me a call if anything happens."

Despite the reluctance, Rosemi ushered her to the door. "Kelly, I know how much you've sacrificed for us, but could you help us this time round too? You and Miss Zorn are best friends. You can put in good words for us. We're willing to accept any conditions as long as they don't cross the line. One thing— marriage is a no-no. You and Jackson share the same feeling, and I can't bear to separate the two of you. Once everything's settled, I'll visit your family for a marriage proposal on the condition that you guys mustn't hide your relationship again."

She didn't admit her past self, who had once looked down upon Kelly for her status as the adopted child. Today, she had finally realized that Kelly was a keen and calm girl, who had the capability to help her son claim the right to an inheritance.

"Auntie, Jackson has the call for everything. I don't mind losing as long as he's alright."

Though there were lies mixed in Kelly's words, Rosemi couldn't care less about it as she couldn't be more grateful for her.

"Auntie, I should get going now. I'll talk to Yasmine and explain everything to her."

However, Yasmine wouldn't be fine after having her birthday party ruined. At the thought of her friend's temper, Kelly was having a headache as she pondered how to comfort Yasmine and persuade her to forgive Jackson.novelbin
