Tom frowned, thinking that Kendall's actions were a bit shameless.
When they were in love, she could give her partner a whole mountain's worth of treasures and not bat an eye; but when they broke up, she wanted them all back, down to the last strand. Her ruthlessness and shamelessness made Tom glad that his son did not wed such a country bumpkin!
Soon enough, he followed his wife into the house.
Upon entering the house, they seemed to notice a lot of things missing from the living room, making it feel a bit empty and not as luxurious as before.
"Did Kendall also take things from our house? Why do I feel that the living room seems to have a lot of decorations missing?"
With a solemn look, Tom replied, "She had given a lot of stuff to Jackson, expensive stuff. Most of it were from her parents' precious collection and were actually worth a lot."
Because the Parkers felt that they had mistreated their daughter for far too long, they gave her anything and everything she wanted.
From this, one could see how generously Kendall treated Jackson in the past.
She could give him just about anything to make him happy.
In her own words, she really was blind in the past to treating such a man like Jackson wholeheartedly.
Kendall, with her martial arts prowess, had married into the Whittle Family due to her love for Jackson in her past life only to be controlled and pushed around.
In the end, all that awaited her was a tragic ending.
Rosemi was a bit shocked at this. "... Did she give Jackson so many things?"
Pursing his lips, Tom replied, "If not for the countless incidents that took place, and if Jackson really did marry Kendall, it would only be a huge help to him. Even though Kendall isn't as smart as Kelly, the majority of the stocks will naturally be given to Kendall. So, if he really did marry her, that would mean that the Parker Corporation would be, by extension, his. Even if he didn't inherit our company, he wouldn't be on the losing end at all."
Rosemi understood this too, while mumbling, "I don't know what happened either. This was already in the bag. But, who would've thought that things would spiral out of Jackson's control."
Now, her son even wanted to marry Krystal against his wishes.
"Where's Jackson? I'm going upstairs to take a look. He actually let Kendall take everything back. What nonsense is this? It was she who willingly gave it all away in the first place. It's not like we forced her to do so. To think she had the cheek to want it all back." As Rosemi went up huffily, she came to her son's room only to find the door ajar. Closing in, she found that Jackson's room was in a downright mess, looking as if he had just been robbed.
"Jackson."
Rosemi rushed in.
"Mom…"
The whine from her son came from the corner.
As she followed the voice, she found her son still laying on the floor with his hands tied behind his back.
Shocked by this, she quickly went and helped Jackson up while asking, befuddled, "Jackson, what on earth happened? Who tied you up like this? Did a robber come by?"
"Was it Kendall?"
Jackson, upon regaining his freedom, leaned against the couch and answered weakly, "Mom, could you pour me a cup of water first?"
Hearing this, Rosemi quickly got him a cup of water.
It was only after downing the entire cup of water did Jackson feel a bit better.
"Mom, it was Kendall. She wanted back everything she gave me. She took my shoes, socks, and even my clothes. As long as it was from her, she took it all."
Kendall's actions dealt a huge blow to Jackson, as he had grown accustomed to how obedient she was to him.
Hearing this, Rosemi bellowed, "That uncultured, uneducated b*tch!"
"Mom, Kendall actually knows martial arts, and she's very good at it."
Jackson, who was rubbing his wrist, still felt his body aching, as he thought he would die while being thrown around by Kendall.
It was only after quite a while that he slowly regained his composure.
"Martial arts? I've never heard of this though."
Frowning, Rosemi continued, "It might be because she used to grow up in the boonies and fought frequently with other people. That's why she is so powerful."
Jackson shook his head. "She used to open an extra curriculum center that involved teaching arts, music, dancing, taekwondo, sanda, and whatnot. So, she should have learned all this. Knowing martial arts is not out of the norm for her. It was just that she did not reveal this in the past."
No, he was wrong. It was because she loved him. That was why she acted all meek and gentle in front of him.
Now that Kendall did not love him anymore, she was no longer gentle to him!
This fact made Jackson upset.
So, he secretly swore in his heart. One day, I will become as capable as Dylan and buy the Parker Corporation. Then, I will make them shoulder innumerable amounts of debts, making Kendall come find
me herself and beg me…
…
Kendall had Amelia send her back home.
Charlotte, who had just woken up from a nap upstairs, saw two girls dragging a lot of stuff inside.
"Kendall?"
Shocked, Charlotte thought that her daughter had been chased back to her birth home by Dylan. Hurrying downstairs, she asked concerningly, "What happened?"
"Hello, Mrs. Parker."
Amelia greeted her.
While Kendall was moving the things inside, she said to her mother, "Mom, I went to the Whittles to get everything back I gave Jackson."
Charlotte was speechless at this.
Following her daughter, she also tried to help.
"It's fine, Mom. I can manage."
Setting the things on the floor, Kendall then squatted and opened the bag, taking everything out.
"Mom, these were all the things I pestered you and Dad to give me before I gave them to Jackson."
Kendall picked up an antique vase and handed it to Charlotte. "Mom, everything's here. There's nothing missing."
Charlotte, who took over the vase, saw all the items covering the floor only to notice that most of them came from their collection. In the past, Kendall acted as if she had been hypnotized, as she would give everything of value or precious to Jackson. Because they felt guilty toward their daughter, they just let her have whatever she liked.
However, they did not think that she would give them to Jackson instead, making the couple feel a bit tricked.
Alas, the items had found their way back to their original owners.
"Kendall, did you ask for everything back?"
"Yup. Down to the last strand."
Putting the vase down, Charlotte stated, "That's good. You really did… cut your ties quite thoroughly."
The incident with Jackson and Krystal had already spread across the whole of the upper society.
Charlotte was only glad that her daughter managed to wake up from that nightmare and no longer obsessed over Jackson.
"Yes, I did it thoroughly without leaving any regrets behind."
Kendall set another two suitcases down before taking all the items and clothing out. "Mom, these clothes were all worn by him. I don't want it anymore. Just throw it away."
Observing that these clothes were all made with fine material, as one suit could easily cost a few thousand, Charlotte asked, "Or do you want to send them to the dry cleaners and give them to your brothers, the Woodses?"
Kendall rejected her by saying, "My brothers will not be wearing articles from a scumbag. I will buy new ones for them if needed."
