Meanwhile, after Kendall left, Amelia was forced to face Frank on her own. "Let's go, President Mendelson. Lunch is on me."
Frank, however, changed his attitude completely and replied coldly without even looking at her, "Another day, perhaps."
He then walked away with his bodyguards.
Amelia was stunned. How could he leave just like this?
Frank was shamelessly asking her for a meal just minutes ago, but after she agreed, he left!
Then again, it was a good thing for her.
At the very least, she didn't have to look at his charming face or meet his alluring eyes for an entire meal.
She was worried that she could not resist his enticing eyes and would become attracted to him. If that were the case, she would be hopeless.
Frank had ruined her original good mood so much that she didn't want to enter the hotel anymore. As a result, Amelia got in her car and drove back, not forgetting to call Kendall.
"Frank left?"
"Yes. I offered him a meal after you left but he simply pushed it to another day and left. Kendall, his
target is obviously you. Be careful of him. You can at least reason with Master Dylan, but not with Frank."
"Master Dylan and Frank are arch nemesis. As he can't win Master Dylan, maybe he's trying his luck with you," Amelia guessed.
"I know. But he seems to be well-informed about my whereabouts as he always appears wherever I am. I can't guard against that. Amy, try to be aware of whether anyone is following you or if your phone has a tracking device installed."
Amelia was not a fool. She, too, thought Frank's appearance at the hotel today was too coincidental.
After hearing Kendall's words, she recalled that Frank had taken her phone away before and she suspected he had installed a tracking device in it at the time.
"I'll get someone to check my phone later."
"Okay."
"Alright, Kendall, go ahead and do your thing. I'll see you tomorrow!"
Tomorrow was the weekend, and Amelia was going to the Colemans' horse farm. Most importantly, she would see a lot of attractive guys there.
She was overjoyed at the thought of this, and her heart was practically overflowing with joy.
All the men in the Coleman Family were charming. Dylan's brothers, according to Kendall, would be going as well.
Anelia didn't dare to secretly photograph Dylan, but she could always do it to the other Colemans!
"See you!"
…
Meanwhile, Kelly was walking out of the hospital, her mind jumbled.
Her medical report lay quietly in her bag.
It turned out that she was indeed pregnant. Why? Why did this baby come at this point of time?
She was still hesitating whether to keep the child. If she kept it, her adoptive parents would blow their tops. Her work would be affected as well, but it was her flesh and blood. How could she be so heartless?
This was her child with Jackson, whom she had feelings for. He had also previously told her to keep the child if she was really pregnant.
Kelly called Jackson the second she got into her car. "Jackson, you're going to be a father," she said when he answered the call.
"You're really pregnant?" He was surprised as well.
"What are we going to do now, Jackson? Are we keeping it?"
Jackson paused for a few seconds before he said, "I hope you can keep the child, Kelly. Don't worry; I will take full responsibility for you and the child. Marrying Krystal is purely a strategic decision. You're the only one I truly love."
"But… I'll suffer a lot. What about my job? If I leave now, the Parker Corporation will no longer be the same when I return later."
Everything Kelly did, which even led to this pregnancy now, was all for her to get the Parker Corporation.
"Do you intend to abort the child?"
"I can't bear to do so either. It's our child." Feeling troubled, Kelly leaned against the car seat and mumbled, "This is not the appropriate time. If my parents find out, they will beat me to death."
Her foster mother had always reminded her to value herself and not let others take advantage of her. Women were always on the losing end in terms of relationships.
Furthermore, she had always been known as a demure and reserved young lady from a prominent family. If her unwed pregnancy was exposed, her reputation would be ruined. That was never what she wanted.
And there was Brian too. Kelly didn't love him, but she did enjoy being treated like a princess by him. He would never love her again after he learned that she was pregnant with Jackson's child. Yasmine would also stay away from her.
All of the connections that Kelly maintained with the society's upper classes would collapse.
"Jackson, I can request to head interstate or stay abroad for a few months once my belly grows larger, and return only after I give birth. But I need to prevent Kendall from amassing her forces within the company. Only when something happened to her would she not take advantage of my absence to win people's hearts away."
Jackson secretly sighed in his heart when he heard that. Women's hearts are the most evil of all. "Kendall now has Master Dylan backing her, though," he reminded her.
To that, Kelly responded indifferently, "Who cares? Even if she is a god, I must remove her once she gets in my way. If you want our child to be born safely, Jackson, you have to help me with this."
"We're both in the same boat. As long as you can come up with a foolproof plan, I'll definitely go out of my way to assist you."
"Okay. I'll think of a perfect plan."
After their conversation ended, Kelly mumbled to herself, "Don't blame me for being ruthless, Kendall. You shouldn't have come back at all. Why can't you, like me, stay with your adoptive mother?"
…
At the same time, the phone was ringing in the president's office.
Seeing that the call was from his lovely wife, Dylan quickly answered it.
"Dylan!" Kendall purred coquettishly.
Dylan, however, remained calm. "Just tell me what you want. Don't act all coquettish with me."
"Oh my, my husband is simply brilliant. You understand me the most! My respect for you is endless, like the flow of water in a stream, and my love for you is as deep as the sea—"
"Stop it!"
Dylan grudgingly interrupted Kendall's flattering sentence, which forever stayed the same.
"Dylan, could you help me to check where Kelly went, what she did and who she met after leaving the office this afternoon?"
Kendall reasoned that Kelly should be pregnant by now and merely wanted to confirm it.
"Sure."
"Thank you, Dylan. You're the best. I love you!"
"Love me? Why did you jump so far away after knowing I could do that?"
"That… I-I jumped out of surprise!"
Dylan chuckled deeply when he heard that.
"I'll leave you to your work. Please earn enough money to provide for me."
"You're shameless."
The man's words revealed just how much he pampered her.
Kendall, on the other hand, remained unfocused at work after asking for Dylan's help. She was biting her pen lid, as if deep in thought.
Suddenly, she remembered something.
"Jessie, what's the date today?"
"Tenth of July. Why?"
"Just asking. It's summer break for the students now, right?"
"Yes."
Jessie did not say anything further.
Kendall recalled a significant incident from her previous life. It shook the entire upper-class social circles to their core, and even her, who Jackson had locked in the backyard, heard about it.
