Chapter 305
After Benjamin departed from Coleman Empire Holdings, he got into the car and was silent for a long time before he spoke to the driver, "Head toward Parker Corporation."
He should end the problem that he started.
He took revenge on Kendall on behalf of his sister and targeted the Parker Corporation. The only option he had left was to find Adam Parker himself.
Benjamin had never been so humbled that he had to actively ask for peace.
But, for the sake of Zorn Holdings and the Zorn Family, he had to take a step back.
One had to be flexible to survive the ups and downs of the business world. That was because troubles may just be hiding around the corner. Just like this time, Benjamin was now in deep waters just because he tried to avenge his sister.
He had never dreamed that a group of Parker Corporation, a company he had never paid attention to in the past, would make him stumble.
Then, Benjamin seemed to have thought of something and took out his phone to make a call.
"Benjamin."
A sweet voice came from the other end of the phone; it was Yasmin.
"Yasmin, where are you now?"
"I'm shopping with Krystal. What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I thought you went to Parker Corporation," Benjamin said gently.
"I planned to go there in the afternoon and invite Frank for dinner."
"Oh, all right. Go ahead with your shopping; I'll hang up first."
Before he could end the call, she stopped him. "Benjamin, something must be wrong for you to call me so suddenly. What is it? Tell me. If I can help relieve your worries, I'll definitely help."
Benjamin had a heavy burden on his shoulders.
If the company made money, the whole family would benefit.
However, once the company encountered a crisis, the blame would be on Benjamin for this downfall, causing them to live in fear of being pulled into debt.
As a matter of fact, it wasn't easy to be the family's successor.
Although he had power, he couldn't escape the family's constraints. Regardless of how flashy he could be outside, he couldn't change the fact that he was doing everything for the family.
"You should go look for Alice if you're free. If you happen to bump into the Young Mistress Coleman, try to put on a courteous front."
Benjamin did not say anything more lest his sister might begin to blame herself.
It was just a gentle reminder.
Alas, Yasmin began to grumble unhappily, "Why should I be nice to that hillbilly? Does she think she is on par with me once she marries Master Dylan? In my eyes, she isn't even worth touching my shoes."
After she said that, she seemed to have come to her senses and quickly asked, "Benjamin, are you targeted by Master Dylan because of what you did to the Parker Corporation a while ago to avenge me?"
"Don't worry. I can handle it. Although the Zorns aren't as powerful as the Colemans, we can still keep up with the Parkers. I won't force you if you don't want to be civil with the Young Mistress Coleman. But don't forget that Alice is a friend of yours. Don't let this friendship slip away."
Benjamin was reluctant to elaborate on the matter, but Yasmin wasn't stupid. So, judging from her brother's call, she knew that Zorn Holdings was now facing a more severe crisis than Whittle Holdings. The only person that could make him say such a thing must be Dylan!
Frank might play a role in this as well.
Yasmin seemed to have thought of something Benjamin had said; she didn't understand why the Mendelson Group wasn't on good terms with Zorn Holdings.
In theory, with Coleman Empire Holdings targeting Zorn Holdings, Parker Corporation would definitely take this opportunity to ally with Coleman Empire Holdings to fight against Zorn Holdings.
This turn of events made Yasmin utterly confounded.
The only thing she was aware of was that she had asked Benjamin to avenge her by attacking Parker Corporation to retaliate against Kendall because of her jealousy and hatred. Because of her selfishness, Yasmin had brought down disaster on him.
"I understand, Benjamin."
Naturally, she wasn't going to give Alice up as a friend.
Unfortunately, Alice was occupied with Jane nowadays. Yasmin and Jane weren't on good terms, so Yasmin had no intention of going to the Coleman Residence to look for Alice.
When the call ended, Yasmin's happy mood was clearly affected.
"Yasmin, what's wrong?" Krystal asked with concern. "Did that b*tch, Kendall, do something? That b*tch! Just because she has Master Dylan backing her up, she's become more shameless and insidious. The last time I sent her an invitation, she began yapping away, and somehow, it got to Jackson. Jackson was furious for a while. Even my parents didn't shy away from scolding me. They scolded me in public, humiliating me. It was mainly because my mother-in-law's face darkened when she saw me. It was as if she had just seen a walking curse."
Krystal had always regarded Kendall as her rival; she was the person that Krystal was most envious of.
Nevertheless, Yasmin did not answer Krystal's rants with one of her own.
Although she was capricious, she wasn't completely brainless.
In the past, she had been arrogant and stubborn as she relied on the status of the Zorn Family in Orapolis.
Still, in the face of people like the Colemans and the Parkers, she would still bow her head.
Even if she didn't want to let Kendall go just like this, Yasmin had to change her strategy and go for a different approach.
She had to go from openly attacking Kendall to secretly doing it in the dark.
"Krystal, you know that she's someone that you can't afford to offend. So you shouldn't mess with her. Even if we don't like her very much, we have to admit that we are the ones who would make the first move to provoke her. She isn't a doll. Who knows how long she can stand not fighting back? As long as we stop provoking her, we won't be on her list."
Krystal looked at Yasmin in astonishment; she was in disbelief that those words had just come out of Yasmin's mouth.
"You're going to marry Jackson soon. You should take care of his heart in the future. As long as his heart belongs to you, even ten Kendall Parkers will not be able to take him away from you. Besides, in my opinion, Kendall isn't interested in Jackson anymore. You don't have to act like she will take him away from you any second. No matter how ruthless Master Dylan is, Jackson is nothing compared to him. Kendall does not need to take your man from you."
"Yasmin, are you okay?" Krystal asked cautiously.
When Yasmin heard that, she gave her the side-eye. "What's wrong? Do you think I'm possessed?"
Krystal nodded her head idiotically.
She really did think that Yasmin was possessed.
Yasmin was actually praising Kendall.
"You said that Kendall told you that the person you should be worried about is Kelly."
Krystal nodded and said, "Can you believe what Kendall said? She and Miss Kelly are fighting for the family property. Kendall is trying to make people turn against Miss Kelly."
Jackson had told Krystal that he and Kelly were just colleagues, and because they were both around the same age, they could talk business together. That was the only reason they were slightly closer than the rest, but nothing was happening between them.
Krystal wholly believed him out of her love for him.
Their wedding was in a few days. In order to prepare for it, he had been occupied day and night, doing various things on his own. This showed her that he held their wedding with great importance. Of course, she would believe him!
"You never know what the other party's intention is. Krystal, you should be more cautious."
Krystal looked at Yasmin carefully as she asked with caution, "Yasmin, did you have a fallout with Miss
Kelly?"
Kelly and Yasmin were good friends. Yet, in the past, when Kelly was present, Krystal was almost invisible.
"We're still friends. I'm just scared that you might get hurt. After all, we're almost like sisters."
Yasmin's third aunt took a fancy to Krystal, the daughter of her family friend.
It seemed that Yasmin's words finally got through to Krystal as she started to consider the matter seriously.
