Kendall touched Krystal's face flippantly, causing the latter to nearly fall onto the ground in fright. "Miss Caddel, you've not taken good enough care of your skin. It's not smooth enough." She looked mockingly at Krystal, whose face was pale with fright. "What, you think I'll take liberties with you? With your looks, I'd rather kiss my pet cat twice than do that." The ragdoll kitten Master Dylan gave me as a present is so cute.
Krystal was speechless with rage.
"You pity me, Miss Caddel? I think you'd better pity yourself instead." Kendall kindly patted Krystal on the shoulder. "Is there any toy boy in the world who can compare with Master Dylan? I care about people's looks, and I prefer someone like Master Dylan, so I don't have eyes for everyone else. With Master Dylan, I'd be able to live a free and easy life."
Krystal was lost for words.
"Are you here all of a sudden to send me an invitation? You'll be getting married to Jackson soon, right?"
Krystal fell silent for a moment. "How did you know that?"
"It's a no-brainer." Kendall stretched out her hand toward her. "Come on, hand me the invitation. I'll definitely attend your and Jackson's wedding."
Krystal stared at her in a daze.
Kendall said, "What are you looking at? Well, envy me all you want, but no matter how hard you look,
you'll never be as beautiful as me. How about you get a facelift to make yourself look prettier? But I hear that people who have had plastic surgery will give birth to children who inherit their parents' ugly genes."
She wasn't talking nonsense. She had read a news report about an ugly woman who had been unable to get married. The woman had a facelift afterward to make herself a stunner, after which she married into a nice family. However, when her child was born, her husband was taken aback by how ugly the child was. He suspected that the hospital had mistaken the identity of his child, but the child was indeed his. After that, the woman had no choice but to admit that she used to be ugly and had gotten a facelift to make herself look pretty. However, her husband freaked out when her child inherited her ugly genes.
Upon learning the truth, the husband was overwhelmed with rage. Not only did he file for a divorce, but he even took the woman to court, asking her to pay him compensation for emotional damage. In any case, the woman broke up with her husband and lost money.
Krystal turned livid with rage. Taking the wedding invitation out of her handbag, she thrust it into her hand and said in bitter jealousy, "Kendall, however ugly I am, I'm at least going to marry a normal man. Jackson isn't inferior to Master Dylan. So what if you're pretty? As a woman who'll never have kids, your life is doomed to be a failure. How could you have the cheek to be smug after marrying a crippled and impotent eunuch?"
Slap! Slap! Kendall raised her hand and slapped Krystal twice across the face.
Krystal was stunned by the slaps.
"Krystal, I'm warning you, call my husband names again and I'll cut your tongue off and feed it to a
dog!"
Realizing what she had just said, Krystal turned as pale as a sheet without Kendall having to lecture her again.
Kendall took out her cell phone and called Jackson. When he answered the phone, she said to him, "Young Master Jackson, please discipline your fiancée. If I hear her say something like my husband is a crippled and impotent eunuch again, don't blame me for teaching her a lesson for that."
Krystal pleaded, "I was wrong, Kendall. Just come at me. Please don't tell Jackson about it." She knew deep down that Jackson married her not because he liked her but because he had to take responsibility for the incident that night. And besides, Whittle Holdings' public relations crisis was also part of the reason. Both Jackson and Tom were scared of Dylan, who had once taken business away from them and plunged Whittle Holdings into a public relations crisis that remained unsolved until now. As a consequence, the company suffered heavy losses. The words she had blurted out just now were very offensive. If her future father-in-law were to know that she had insulted Dylan, he might call off her engagement to Jackson.
Jackson apologized repeatedly, "Kendall, sorry that I didn't do a good job of disciplining my fiancée. I promise you that I'll never let her say anything nasty about Master Dylan again. Since we know each other, please show some leniency and forgive her this once."
"Hmph!" Kendall let out a snort and hung up.
Krystal nearly burst into tears of anxiety. "Kendall, it was my fault for shooting my mouth off. You could hit me for that, but why did you have to tell Jackson about what I said? Don't you know that Whittle
Holdings' current crisis is still unsolved? Y-You loved Jackson so much before. Are you so unwilling to see him and me loving each other?"
Kendall was amused by Krystal's train of thought. "Miss Caddel, are you out of your mind after you fell into the river that day? So what if you and Jackson love each other? What does it have to do with me? I'm not the person who should be jealous. What does Whittle Holdings' crisis have to do with me? You're scared that Jackson will get angry? Hehe, I'm so sorry, but I like to hit people where it hurts." Since Krystal feared that Jackson would get angry and that she couldn't win her in-laws' favor, she'd tell Jackson on Krystal and let him and the Whittles sort her out on her behalf. I'll deal with whoever calls Master Dylan names! "Miss Caddel, I wish you and Jackson a happy marriage in advance."
After telling Jackson about Krystal, she felt much better. Tapping the invitation on Krystal's shoulder, she reminded her, saying, "Remember to send an invitation to that sister of mine." With that, she turned around and left while opening the invitation to see the date of Jackson and Krystal's wedding.
Perhaps for the sake of the spectacle, their wedding would be held next Saturday. It was a weekend, so those who were working didn't have to go to work, whereas the students didn't have to go to school. Many would be able to attend their wedding.
Kendall was only too eager for everyone in Orapolis to attend their wedding. That way, the broadcasting of the video would achieve the best results.
Krystal watched Kendall leave, after which she finally felt a burning sensation in her cheeks. She slapped me so hard. She knew without looking at herself in the mirror that her cheeks must've swollen badly.
Ring! Ring! Just then, her cell phone rang.
She took out her cell phone, only to panic when she saw the caller ID. It was a phone call from Jackson. He's definitely calling me to scold me. She wanted to reject the phone call right away, but she dared not do so. In the end, she braced herself and answered the phone.
Jackson scolded, "Krystal, do you think that the Whittle Holdings isn't suffering enough? How could you call Master Dylan names?" He was pissed off by Krystal. In order to save Whittle Holdings, he even sacrificed his own marriage. Just when he thought he could save the company by associating himself with Zorn Holdings, Krystal courted death by insulting Dylan in front of Kendall. It was fine if she didn't know Kendall's real identity. However, she insulted Dylan in front of Kendall despite knowing that the latter was Dylan's wife. She's trying to destroy Whittle Holdings! If Krystal were in front of him, he'd have given her a box on the ear.
"Sorry, Jackson! I was wrong; I only blurted it out impulsively in a fit of rage. You have no idea how abominable she is. She provoked me on purpose and made me insult Master Dylan so that she'd have the chance to take revenge on us."
