"The reason Jackson is here must be because he still has his eyes on your favorite daughter-in-law. Everyone in Orapolis knows how much Kendall sacrificed just to win Jackson's heart back then, but the next time she showed herself, she was already married to our son. What do you think this is about? This lady must be secretly up to something!"
Fergus replied, "Honey, let's not jump to conclusions first. Maybe Jackson isn't here for Kendall."
"Who else did he come for if it wasn't Kendall?" Emily was too stubborn to think straight, as she was sure that Jackson was there to see Kendall. "Speaking of this guy, Jackson, he is a despicable idiot. He is having his wedding with Krystal this Saturday, isn't he? So, what's he doing here? I must say he really has the cheek to come here just to visit Kendall! Both of them have no sense of shame at all, and they deserve each other!" Emily gritted her teeth, tempted to give Kendall a slap in the face if she was
standing right before her at that moment. What a b*tch! I can't believe I went through all this trouble to travel so far for this b*tch! The more she dwelled on that matter, the angrier she became. "Kendall was usually watched when she went to work. For that, Jackson stood no chance to see her at all, which was why he decided to take the risk and come to her parents' house just to see her. That must be the whole story!" Emily assumed the story was like the way she imagined while speculating about the reason behind Jackson's appearance outside the Parker Residence's gate.
In the meantime, Fergus speechlessly gazed at his angry wife, wanting to stand up for Kendall, but to no avail. Deep down, he knew the reason Kendall's motive was called into question by the public was because it all happened too suddenly when she and Dylan decided to marry each other, not to mention the fact that the people of Orapolis knew how dearly Kendall loved Jackson.
Meanwhile, Adam and Charlotte were just as exasperated as Emily was. In fact, when Emily rolled down the car window earlier, Adam and Charlotte happened to see her talking to Jackson whom they thought was responsible for misleading Emily. Therefore, Charlotte told her maid to fetch her a broom and charged at the man in a hostile manner.
"Mrs. Parker." Jackson immediately attempted to explain himself in response to Charlotte's aggressiveness. "Mrs. Parker, I mean no harm. I only came here because I happened to pass by this place."
Charlotte had no interest in arguing with Jackson as she directly swung her broom at the man and reprimanded him. "How dare you show up here at my doorstep! I'm going to rough you up really badly, and I'm going to enjoy every second of it, you idiotic playboy! Stay right there!" Deep down, Charlotte was angry at Jackson for hurting Kelly and deliberately misleading Dylan's parents with his sudden appearance outside the Parker Residence. Thus, her swing grew harder and harder with every second she dwelled on that matter.
At the same time, Jackson kept backing away in response to Charlotte's aggressive violence, although he took a few beatings in the process. Meanwhile, Sally looked around her, wanting to grab something she could get her hands on and use as a weapon to beat up Jackson. However, the maids from the Parker Family were smart enough to fetch her another broom, which she took before she joined Charlotte in the fight without any concern that she was still recovering from her traffic accident.
While everyone else watched silently, Kendall snapped out of her trance and told her brothers to get a hold of Sally. "Nell, Roger, stop Mom. She hasn't fully recovered." Meanwhile, Adam and Milo, who were worried for their wives, quickly stepped in to stop the fight, although they were actually trying to prevent Jackson from running away.
In the meantime, Jackson was disappointed that Kelly had called him here for her family to attack him. Soon, Kendall came running with a bucket of water and splashed it at Jackson who was making an escape toward his car. The next second, Jackson was drenched from head to toe as he wiped the water on his face and growled, "Kendall!" When Charlotte was about to strike with her broom, he swiftly caught it in the air and snapped at them. "Do you really think I'm here for you, Kendall? Wake up! I'm here for Kelly. I…"
Unable to retrieve her broom, Charlotte went for the bucket that Kendall was holding and covered Jackson's head with it, whereupon he let go of the broom. Then, Charlotte seized the opportunity and snatched the broom back for herself before she started hitting him. At the same time, she berated him angrily. "I'm going to teach you a lesson on Kelly's behalf. Who do you think you are? How audacious of you to call Kendall a flirt? You're not even worthy of being a servant! Kelly is in so much misery because of you. I've been telling myself to calm down and leave you alone, but you came here seeking trouble for yourself. So, I'm going to beat you to a pulp and make you the ugliest bridegroom ever in the world." Charlotte continued to lecture Jackson as she hit him.
Thinking Charlotte was out of her mind, Jackson threw the bucket that was covering his head away and shoved the woman away from him. The next second, he turned around and ran toward his car, entering the vehicle. While Kendall was busy helping her mother up, he drove toward Adam and the others recklessly and forced them to back away, giving himself a chance to escape.
"Don't run away! You bast*rd! Come back here! I'm going to beat you to a pulp!" Charlotte snarled at the car that was drifting away.
Meanwhile, Kelly was standing on the balcony where she watched everything with her eyes wide open and mouth agape. After all, she didn't expect the situation to go out of hand, having given her parents and foster parents an opportunity to teach Jackson a lesson for Kendall and herself, especially Adam and Charlotte, who had been waiting for an opportunity to rough Jackson up. Although Jackson took a terrible beating from Kelly's foster parents, she somehow couldn't describe her feelings. A few moments later, she snapped out of her trance and reached for her phone to call Jackson. Dang! Jackson must have thought that this was my idea! Despite her desperate attempts, her calls went unanswered, but that didn't stop her from trying again and again. After dozens of attempts, Jackson finally picked up the call.
"Does it make you happy to see me being beaten up by your family, Kelly? Like I've told you thousands of times, I'm forced to marry Krystal. Why won't you believe my explanation? Krystal and I are going to have our wedding in two more days, but look at what your family has done to me. Are you trying to ruin my wedding? How have you become so irrational and impulsive? You used to be calm and collected, and you'd never do something like that." Jackson was mad for being beaten up by Charlotte and Sally. Although their hits might not have been as strong as the men's would have been, they aimed their brooms at his face when they hit him. Because of that, his face was seen with numerous scratches, which made him wonder whether they were bleeding. At the thought of that, Jackson hadn't mustered
the courage to look at himself in the mirror, knowing it would affect his wedding if his face bled. If that happened, he would even have to figure out an excuse to fool Krystal so that she wouldn't misunderstand. Where is the Kelly whom I used to work flawlessly with?
Feeling bitter yet angry to hear Jackson's accusation, Kelly allowed her emotions to get the better of her. "Yeah, it makes me happy to see you getting beaten! You're the reason I'm so miserable today, so what's wrong with that when my family taught you a lesson on my behalf? How dare you point your finger at me!"
