Krystal pushed the blame onto Kendall.
"I don't care whose fault it is, but you shouldn't insult Master Dylan. Do you know who he is? He can make the both of us bankrupt with a flick of his finger! Krystal, go home right now. Who made you look for Kendall? You shouldn't mess with that woman!"
Jackson was frightened of Kendall and didn't dare to show himself in front of her anymore. After knowing that she was married to Dylan, he felt uncomfortable, and he wanted to go to Kendall to get a clear explanation from her. However, when he recalled her ruthlessness, he dispelled that thought in the end. When he could be on an equal footing with Dylan one day, Kendall would belong to him as long as he wanted to.
"I-I just sent her an invitation to our wedding," Krystal stammered in a low voice.
Kendall's obsession with Jackson was not a secret in Orapolis. Krystal had heard of it before, and she and her friends had laughed at her shamelessness in private, thinking that Jackson would suffer if he married Kendall. Unexpectedly, she ended up being the one to marry Jackson. Therefore, Krystal cared about this matter a lot. If Kendall didn't attend her wedding with Jackson, she would feel extremely upset. She wanted to show Kendall that the man she once loved the most was now married to her, Krystal.
After Jackson fell silent for a moment, he asked, "Did she agree?"
"She did."
"Since you went there to send her an invitation, why did you insult Master Dylan? Krystal, you should
go home. Don't loiter around Parker Corporation anymore."
Krystal agreed before she asked cautiously, "Jackson, are you still angry?"
"What's the use of being angry? You've already insulted him."
Krystal didn't dare to speak, and cursed Kendall out thousands of times in her mind.
After the call ended, Jackson called Hudson, Krystal's father, and told him about Krystal insulting Dylan. Then, he reminded him to teach her what she could or could not say if she wanted to join the high society of Orapolis.
At first, Hudson was displeased that his prospective son-in-law was complaining about his daughter so quickly, but after listening to Jackson's words, he was frightened.
"Krystal has always been gentle and sensible. I can't believe she would say something like this. Jackson, Young Mistress Kendall must've made Krystal very angry."
Jackson tugged at his tie and tried to keep his voice as gentle as possible as he said, "Dad, no matter what Kendall said or did, it's her business. Don't involve Master Dylan. You can just tell Krystal this. If I say this to her, she'll think that I am helping Kendall."
Hudson was elated that Jackson was calling him Dad, and he replied happily, "Jackson, I understand. When Krystal comes back, I will educate her."
"Thank you, Dad."
"We're all family, so you don't have to be so courteous. Besides, Krystal is wrong as well. I'm her dad, so it's my job to educate her."
Even the Zorn Family did not dare to simply offend Dylan, so it was better for small fry like them to stay away from a powerful figure like him.
"Dad, I need your help to act as a middleman and put in a good word for Whittle Holdings' cooperation with Zorn Holdings."
"Don't worry, Jackson, I'll definitely help you as long as I can. Whittle Holdings is a powerful company, but you were just framed by someone. Don't worry, Benjamin will be willing to give your company a hand."
After getting a certain answer, Jackson felt more relieved.
…
In a VIP room on the top floor of Parker Corporation, Kendall personally poured a glass of warm water for Leonel and his secretary.
"Have some water, Mr. Dawson."
When Kendall handed a glass of warm water to Leonel, he quickly stood up and picked up the glass with both hands.
"Young Mistress Kendall, we can do it by ourselves," he replied respectfully, albeit feeling fearful deep
down.
"Mr. Dawson, you don't have to call me that. We're talking about business now, so I'm President Parker's assistant. You can just call me Miss Parker." Kendall corrected Leonel with a smile.
"You don't have to be like this, Mr. Dawson. I understand the circumstances. Besides, you're slightly better than those people," she assured him. At least he wouldn't force her.
Leonel's face flushed, and he promised embarrassedly, "Young Mistress Kendall, I mean, Miss Parker, I promise that I'll never let that happen again."
After he had paid the price for bending the rules, the fact that the person whose rules he had broken was Dylan's wife was enough to scare him away. If he broke the rules again and provoked someone that he shouldn't mess with, his career would end right then. Though he was a fool for women, his career was more important as he still had a family to support.
Kendall smiled. "Then, I'll thank you on the behalf of all the newcomers in the working force."
She was backed by Dylan, but not everyone was as lucky as she was to have someone supporting them. If Leonel could guarantee that he would not break any rules in the future, it was a good thing for many newcomers to the workforce.
"Miss Parker, I'm deeply ashamed."
"Mr. Dawson, have some water."
"All right, I will."
Leonel took two sips of water, and the warmth dispelled his trepidation after he saw that Kendall didn't have any intentions to hold him accountable. Fortunately, he didn't do anything excessive and had just touched Kendall's hand at most.
"Miss Parker, about President Coleman…"
What Leonel was most afraid of was that Dylan would make him pay for what he had done.
"Master Dylan values your abilities. Of course, if you improve your character even more, you will gain his approval."
With Kendall's words, Leonel understood she had not complained about him to Dylan. Her generosity nearly made him weep with gratitude.
"I'll do my best. Thank you, Miss Parker." Leonel thanked her again and took two more sips of water before he took out the contract. He placed the contract in front of her and said in a businesslike tone, "Miss Parker, have a look at this contract. If you don't have any problems with it, we can sign it. After that, our company will send the official order to your company, and your company can begin production."
Kendall picked up the contract and looked at it carefully. The price was listed out according to Kelly's original report. Although Leonel was frightened by her identity, he didn't let it affect him when it came to business. After all, he couldn't let his private affairs affect his business.
After reading the contract carefully, she handed the contract to Jessie, who was next to her, to have a look. Jessie was arranged by her father to come with her before she signed the contract with Leonel.
She was Adam's secretary, and as she had worked in Parker Corporation for many years, she was much more knowledgeable than Kendall. However, she couldn't find any problems with the contract issued by Prestige Electronics. With Kendall's current status, although Prestige Electronics was taken care of by Leonel, it belonged to the Coleman Empire Holdings, so he wouldn't dare to take advantage of Kendall, the Young Mistress of the Coleman Family.
Jessie returned the contract to Kendall with a nod, indicating that there was no problem.
"Miss Parker, if you think the contract is all right, you can sign it."
Kendall agreed with a smile, "Of course."
She picked up the fountain pen and signed her name at the designated place. Jessie then gave her a seal, which was the company seal of Parker Corporation. After stamping the seal, the contract officially took effect.
