The look on Kelly's face turned incredibly unpleasant.
"Did Jackson persuade you to be magnanimous for the sake of his family and ask you to give birth to this baby? Once he becomes the head of the Whittle Family and is influential, he'll divorce Krystal Caddel and marry you? Did he say that even if he marries Krystal, he will definitely not touch her and keep his body chaste for you?"
The sarcasm from Kendall stunned her, but quickly, she reached out and tried to grab Kendall. However, Kendall avoided her, and no matter how many times she tried, she couldn't get a hold of her.
Then, she recalled Kendall saying that she had learned martial arts before and was quite skilled. That was why Jackson got beaten up by her.
Hence, she gave up trying to grab her and lifted her hand to rake it through her hair instead. After she straightened her clothes in front of the mirror so that she looked presentable, she turned back to Kendall and said in ridicule, "Kendall, you're still in love with Jackson, aren't you? He was the person you wanted to marry back then, even at the expense of your own life, so how could you let him go within a short period of one month? Jackson asked you out privately, did he? And he's the one who said all those things to you, I suppose?"
Kelly gave Kendall a once-over, she wasn't sure whether it was just her imagination or Kendall truly seemed even prettier than before, and her elegance was now a notch higher.
Kendall was dressed in a formal black suit with a skirt, paired with a pair of mid-high heels that were studded with diamonds. Although she was dressed unobtrusively without a single piece of jewelry, she was undeniably beautiful. In addition, her big, bright eyes were full of energy and brimming with
confidence.
That's right, Kelly thought. Kendall is different and more beautiful now because of her confidence.
"Kendall, it seems like Master Dylan is treating you very well. Within such a short period, you seemed like a different person now. Right, as the Young Mistress of the Coleman Family, you don't even have a diamond ring. How inconspicuous!"
Instead of flying into a rage as Kelly hoped, Kendall merely chuckled. "Kelly Parker, you don't have to try to provoke me. I don't like jewelry, not that I don't have any. My husband doesn't give me jewelry set by set, but by the dozens, and he even instructed Amos to empty out a room as my jewelry room, especially for the jewelry he gave me. Toward Jackson Whittle…" Despite the faint smile on Kendall's face, her eyes had a look of hate in them as she whispered, "How can I forget him?"
There was never a second when she forgot the things Jackson and Kelly did to her and her daughter.
At first, Kelly wanted to throw a few pompous comments, but when she caught sight of the hostility in Kendall's gaze, she couldn't bring herself to say anything like that as she was filled with questions.
Actually, Jackson hadn't done anything over the line to Kendall, so why did she despise him so much?
This loathing wasn't a result of deep love, but a true form of hate, as though Jackson had destroyed her ancestral tomb or had murdered her parents.
"This Saturday is the wedding of Jackson and Krystal. What are you planning to do? Watch in vain as the father of your child marries someone else? Or, are you going to abort this baby?"
Kendall changed her expression in a second, appearing to be very concerned as she asked Kelly, who was seething in fury but couldn't do anything to her.
The woman before her now was no longer the village girl who had arrived a year ago.
Now, she had already blended into this family, and her parents trusted her deeply. Furthermore, she even had Dylan's backing.
"This is none of your business, so just stay out of it. You told Mom and Dad about my pregnancy, so they'll be disappointed in me. You've already succeeded. Kendall Parker, I know why you're doing this; you're just jealous that Mom and Dad love me, and even if you're their biological daughter, I am the one they brought up tentatively like a princess since I was young. You can't erase the amount of effort and care they have given me. So what, even if you're married to Master Dylan? Everyone knows what's his problem, and it's only a matter of time before you're driven out of the Coleman Family. When that time comes…" Kelly trailed off and chuckled. "Kendall, I've always gotten whatever I wanted!"
Parker Corporation, all assets of the Parker Family, and the love of her adopted parents—she wanted all of them.
"Oh, really? Then, it will be fascinating to watch you fail," Kendall sniggered. "Can you still focus on your job in your current state? Do you have the guts to let others know that you're pregnant before marriage? Once the news that you're pregnant with Jackson's child gets out, will Krystal Caddel let you off? Kelly, don't underestimate a woman's jealousy."
After Kendall said her piece, she turned around, opened the bathroom door, and strolled out, leaving Kelly stewing in anger with balled fists and resentful eyes.
Unfortunately, she wasn't sure if she should hate Kendall or Jackson because the person who landed her in this difficult situation was Jackson.
No, Kendall had a part in this, too. If it weren't for Kendall's sudden change of heart, she wouldn't be pregnant out of wedlock now.
Why did Kendall suddenly become a changed person? Can she be a different person who underwent plastic surgery? Maybe the real Kendall Parker is already dead.
A seed of doubt started to sprout in Kelly's heart as she recalled the recent changes with Kendall. The longer she thought about it, the more confident she was that the real Kendall was dead, and the one now was an imposter.
The fake Kendall must have undergone surgery a long time ago to look like Kendall and waited for the chance to get rid of the real Kendall so that she could take her place. But, of course, what she wanted was none other than all of the Parkers' wealth.
She even got chummy with Dylan, and maybe, he was in cahoots with the fake Kendall.
At the thought of this, Kelly spat indifferently, "The real cannot be faked. So, Kendall Parker, just wait. I'll rip off the fake mask that you're wearing."
It would be easy to find out if she was an imposter—just rip out a few of Kendall's hair and find an opportunity to get a few pieces of Charlotte's hair as well, then she could do a DNA paternity test.
With the result of the paternity test, she would be able to deal with the fake Kendall.
Kelly thought that she had come up with a good idea to deal with Kendall, so her mood immediately brightened as she washed her face in the bathroom before leaving.
In the dining room, the Parker couple enthusiastically invited Kendall and Dylan to try the breakfast that Kelly had woken up early in the morning and put a lot of effort into preparing.
Nevertheless, Dylan merely said emotionlessly, "I've already had breakfast. You guys go ahead."
He couldn't be bothered to try the breakfast Kelly had prepared. In all honesty, he hadn't had breakfast yet because he left the house early today and didn't have the time to eat.
When Amos went after them and asked them to pack some food to eat at the office, he turned down his suggestion.
Kendall stole a quick peek at him and quickly understood the reason he lied.
"Mom, Dad, go ahead and eat first. I would like to have a hot breakfast today, so I'm going to fry some eggs and sausages," she said as she rose to her feet and entered the kitchen.
The breakfast Kelly prepared was a cold breakfast. As Kendall grew up in a village, the breakfast in the village wasn't as expensive as it was in the Parker and Coleman household, as she had either oatmeal porridge or blood sausages. Therefore, after she returned to the Parker Family, it took her quite a while to stomach the cold breakfast that they usually partook in.
Dylan's eyes lit up because he knew that she couldn't bear to see him starve, so she came up with the excuse that she wanted to have a hot breakfast and went to prepare breakfast for him.
