"I wouldn't dare say yes."
Then, Dylan snorted. Of course she wouldn't dare to say yes.
"This is my contact number. You can call me in an emergency."
He especially emphasized the word 'emergency'.
"Alright, thank you."
Since her husband had so graciously given her his number, Kendall would thank him politely.
Never in a million years did she think that Dylan would suddenly get angry. He then growled, "You're not allowed to thank me!"
His words stunned Kendall, because she had thanked him out of courtesy. Didn't he want her to be a polite person?
"We're married!" Dylan emphasized this point. "There's no need for formalities between married couples unless… you want to get married to Jackson Whittle!"
"Dylan, are you jealous?" Kendall deliberately asked him.
The question caught Dylan by surprise, and he hung up the phone with a darkened expression.
When Kendall didn't get any answer from him, she moved her phone away from her ear, only to
discover that he had hung up.
That man was such a temperamental person, so it wasn't hard to guess why the maids at the Coleman Mansion were afraid of serving him. He might be able to talk a moment ago, but the next moment, he would be screaming and ignoring the person whom he was talking to.
Kendall didn't take this matter to heart and quickly chased after her mother.
"What did Amelia say?" Charlotte asked. "It's been a while since you've seen her. Did you two get into a fight?"
"Mommy, we're as good as ever, so we aren't fighting. Amelia went on vacation and will be back in a few days, and I'll be able to see her during Yasmine's birthday party."
"You have to attend the party with Kelly and make more friends. With more friends, you'll have more connections. Most of the people in our circle have others backing them, so if you can be friends with them, it would be beneficial to you when you take over the Parker Corporation."
After Kendall said she wanted to enter the company, Charlotte began treating her daughter as the heir of the Parker Corporation.
In the past, they had put a lot of effort into Kelly and trained her to become a qualified heir to the company. They never expected their child to be exchanged for another, which made their biological daughter unfamiliar with the business industry.
Hatred for the culprit still filled Charlotte's heart, even though the culprit was now apprehended and
convicted.
"I will, Mommy."
However, Kendall didn't tell her mother that with Kelly around, those young mistresses would never become her friends. They would only plot against her with Kelly and watch as Kendall fell into their trap. Then, they would humiliate her and destroy her reputation.
After that, the mother-daughter pair took the elevator to the highest floor.
"Mrs. Parker, Miss Kendall." Adam's secretary smiled and greeted the two before leading them toward the president's office.
"Vice President Parker and President Parker are inside. Would you and Miss Kendall mind waiting?" the secretary asked while walking. "Or I could bring you and Miss Kendall to the visitor's lounge instead to wait?"
"There's no need for that. We're here to find President Parker." Charlotte then mocked, "Since when did I have to wait to see the president?"
After glancing at Kendall, the secretary apologized with a smile, "Mrs. Parker, it's my fault."
Once they arrived at the door of the president's office, the secretary knocked on behalf of Charlotte and Kendall. Then, Kelly's voice sounded from inside the room. "Come in."
The secretary pushed the door open and announced, "President Parker, Vice President Parker, Mrs. Parker and Miss Kendall have arrived."
The father-daughter pair inside the room were shocked and turned their heads in unison.
"Charlotte! Kendall! What brings you here?"
Adam walked over with a bright smile and looked at Kendall with a gentle gaze.
"Daddy, did Mommy and I disturb your work?"
"No. You two came just in time as Kelly and I just finished our discussion. Let's head out for lunch at the Dynasty Hotel."
The Dynasty Hotel was a so-called seven-star hotel in Orapolis and the biggest and best hotel in the city. It was also one of the hotels that were owned by the Coleman Empire Holdings. The general manager of the Dynasty Hotel was none other than the second young master of the Coleman Family and Kendall's brother-in-law, Yoseph Coleman.
"Why do you want to go there for lunch?" Charlotte casually asked. "You usually go to the Ornate Hotel to eat."
As Adam looked at Kendall affectionately, he smiled and explained, "It's rare for our family to have dinner together outside, especially with Kendall. Since we have the opportunity to have a meal together, I don't want my daughter to feel wronged, so we have to head to the best restaurant."
Moreover, Kendall was the eldest young mistress of the Coleman Family, so they should head over to the hotel under the Coleman Empire Holdings for a meal.
This was what they called 'keep the goodies within the family', meaning that the money they spent there would go inside the Coleman Family's pockets.
"Alright."
Charlotte thought that Adam was making things up to Kendall after she had scolded him yesterday, so she didn't refuse his suggestion.
As the family of four sat down on the couch, Kelly came over with four glasses of warm water.
"Mommy, did you and Kendall come over after shopping?"
While Kelly was secretly looking at Kendall, she saw that Kendall's face was no longer swollen, and the latter looked to be in good spirits. She didn't look like a person who had been taken advantage of.
"No. Kendall said she wanted to come over to the company, so we came."
After taking a sip of water, Charlotte looked at her husband and said on Kendall's behalf, "Adam, Kendall wants to enter the company, so you need to arrange for her to be by your side."
After Charlotte finished talking, Kelly's expression changed slightly, but she was quick to compose herself.
Meanwhile, Adam looked at Kendall and questioned, "Kendall, did you ask Master Dylan about this? Did he agree to let you work?"
Adam knew that the Coleman Family had many strict rules. Women who married into the Coleman
Family would usually stay home and become housewives. Usually, wives of wealthy men weren't allowed to work, because they weren't short of money to spend and didn't need to provide for their money. Their only responsibility was to use the money their husbands earned.
"Why does Kendall need to ask Master Dylan if she can come and work at the Parker Corporation? This is our family's private matter, so only you have to agree." Charlotte rebuked, "Although our family refused the Colemans' marriage proposal and seem to have offended them, Master Dylan has let that matter pass. So, Kendall doesn't owe him anymore and is not at his mercy."
As Adam glared at Charlotte, he retorted, "You don't understand anything."
Afterward, Charlotte's expression paled. "What do I not understand?"
"Don't ask."
Since Dylan had forbidden Adam from mentioning that, the latter wouldn't tell a single soul, not even Charlotte. Hence, he had no choice but to persuade Kendall. "Kendall, I have no objections to you entering the company. I'm happy to bring you with me and teach you personally, but you must ask Master Dylan about this. I will only agree if he agrees."
Not wanting Kendall to enter the company, Kelly continued the topic, "Kendall, what Daddy says makes sense. Since Master Dylan brought you back with him to take over some responsibility, he might not allow you to leave at will, so you should ask for his opinion so that you won't anger him again."
As Kelly was talking, Kendall was eyeing her quietly. She knew that Kelly didn't want her to enter the company.
Meanwhile, Kelly looked calm the whole time.
