Emily didn't seem to believe in Kendall's words but seeing that Kendall was talking nicely to her made her feel better. However, her facial expression was sullen as she looked at Kendall coldly.
"You mention that Jackson was there for Kelly, but do you have evidence to prove it? Kendall, since we are on this topic, back then, you'd rather die than marry my son. But when you woke up after attempting suicide, you suddenly changed your mind about it. Don't you think that you owe me an explanation?"
This issue had always been like a thorn that was stuck in Emily's heart. If Kendall didn't do anything to rectify it, their relationship would be damaged.
With that, Kendall took her phone out and tapped on the intimate video of Jackson and Kelly before handing her phone over to Emily. "Mom, if you don't mind, you will understand what I meant after watching this video."
Hearing that, Emily glared at Kendall but eventually took the phone over and watched it.
As Emily watched the video, she furrowed her brows, and before the video ended, she passed the phone back to Kendall as she chided, "It's shameless of them to do something this scandalous!"
She never expected Kelly to do such a thing. Kelly had always given her an impression of being a dignified, noble, generous, and strong-willed woman. She was deemed to be more outstanding than Kendall, the biological daughter of the Parker Family.
"When did you find out that they were together?" Emily asked. "Did you give up on Jackson after finding out about their relationship?"
"Yes." Kendall's reply wasn't considered a lie because, during her past life, she had become miserable after finding out about the truth and eventually ended her life because of that.
"Do you know how long they have been together?" After Emily had watched the video, if Kendall had told her that she still had feelings for Jackson, she would have scolded Kendall for being a fool who was blinded by love.
"They already had feelings for each other before I was reunited with my birth family. It was love at first sight for me. Kelly had explicitly encouraged me to pursue him and to be together with him. She even supported my decision to cancel the marriage with Dylan. But she and Jackson did that behind my back. I’ve already found out about those before I attempted to kill myself. I was so devastated that I inflicted self-harm, and I realized how stupid I was, as he was just a sc*mbag. When I woke up, I suddenly came to a realization and decided to spend the rest of my life with Dylan."
Some of what she said was a lie because she couldn't just tell Emily about her reincarnation or her dreams. It might make matters worse since those who had never experienced it would have thought that it was something bizarre, and Emily might even suspect that she was lying.
"Mom, I don't mind if you're mad at me, but when Dylan and I registered for marriage, I did so because I was grateful for his help. As we spent more time together, we started getting along well, and I have slowly fallen for him. However, it doesn’t matter to me whether I love him or not because I had already made up my mind when I decided to marry him, so I have no regrets."
"Although Dylan seemed cold on the outside, he's a very outstanding man whom I can entrust my whole life. I'm glad and lucky that I can be his wife."
As Dylan's mother, Emily was actually happy when she heard someone complimenting her son, although she didn't show it on the outside. After hearing what Kendall said, Emily's anger had more or less dissipated since she was also aware that her son was an outstanding man. If not for the car accident, his legs wouldn't have been paralyzed, and he wouldn't have been rumored to suffer from erectile dysfunction. If all these didn't happen at all, he would have probably married someone better than Kendall.
When Emily thought of Yasmine and the other girls from the wealthy family, she felt that Dylan and Kendall were brought together by fate, and she believed that Kendall was one lucky girl! Even Mary thought so too.
"Mom, this is the reason why I fell out of love with Jackson and decided to spend the rest of my life with Dylan. Whether you believe it or not, I really meant what I said from the bottom of my heart."
Kendall added earnestly, "Mom, I know that I have flaws and I'm not worthy of Dylan in many ways, but I will work hard to change all these. I will make myself outstanding so that I can assist him and even if I'm not good enough to do so, I will never let myself drag him down. Although I have explained many things to you today, I never expect you to believe in me all at once. Only time will tell whether what I said is the truth or not. I will prove to you that I have given all my heart to Dylan after we got married. I will never leave his side if he doesn't abandon me this lifetime."
Hearing that, Emily stared at Kendall for a while before saying impassively, "Dylan had your back and granted you freedom. He even fought with his grandmother and argued with me because of you. I don't care how you treat me, but if you treat him badly, I will never forgive you! Although I'm reluctant to give you time to prove yourself, both of you have already sealed the deal. For the sake of Dylan, I will see
what you are going to prove to me!"
Since both of them had already slept together, and Dylan cared for Kendall a lot, Emily had no choice but to give Kendall a chance.
"About Jackson and Kelly, I will have someone investigate it. If it is really true, I would believe what you've told me. In the future, you should keep your eyes open and never let yourself be deceived by one's appearance, as there are many hypocrites around."
If what Kendall said was really true, it meant that Jackson and Kelly were already together way before that, but they still encouraged Kendall to be with Jackson. Emily wouldn't believe it if Kelly said that she wasn't conspiring something.
"The women who are married into the Coleman Family had to follow the house rules, and that woman's place is in the house. Occasionally, we can accompany our husbands to attend events, but we are not supposed to have a career or start a business. Since Dylan has allowed you to do what you've wanted, you'll need to show some results so that you won't let him down."
After a brief pause, Emily continued with sorrow in her eyes, "I have been married into the Coleman Family for more than ten years and have given birth to three sons and a daughter. Till today, my dream to start a beauty salon is still being rejected. Y-You are an object of envy to us. If you ever let Dylan down, you should be embarrassed."
She went on to say, "Since you are your parents' only biological daughter, everything in the Parker Family should belong to you. However, your parents had adopted Kelly and had built a deep relationship with her after staying together for 20 years. They have the freedom to give some of their assets to Kelly if they are willing to. If you're not outstanding enough, I'm afraid you won't be able to
hold on to the hundreds of millions worth of assets that your family owns. Kelly might not be as nice as she seems, so you should have your guard up against her. Since she was initially confirmed to be the successor of the business, your existence had threatened her position. Sometimes, even if you aren't interested in competing with her, she would still compete with you."
"Mom, thank you for your heads up." Kendall thanked her.
"I'm doing that just for my son. You would be useless and an embarrassment to my son if you can't even hold on to your family's assets," Emily replied impassively.
