But who'd have thought there would be such a dramatic change of events?!
Not only had Kendall broken up with Jackson, but she immediately married Dylan and became the young mistress of the Coleman Family. Regardless of whether Kendall's life in the Coleman Family was well or not, it wouldn't be terrible when Dylan was there to back her up. With that, she became a league far beyond Jackson and the Whittle Family's reach.
Also, the one whom Jackson truly had an ambiguous relationship with was none other than Kelly!
Suddenly, the Whittles understood why Kendall would loathe Jackson so suddenly. She must've found out he was having an affair with Kelly.
Why hide the fact that you two have already hit the home run? Hell, there wouldn't be any of this mess if anyone said anything sooner!
Meanwhile, Jackson single-handedly shielded Kelly securely behind him, successfully angering his new mother-in-law so much that she even belabored him.
For the love of God, why would you pretentiously bear the responsibility when you feel absolutely nothing for my daughter?!
Wait, Whittle Holdings was met with some crisis some time ago because they offended Coleman Empire Holdings. Though our family isn't as influential as the Whittles, we're related to the Zorns, and by marrying my Krystal, they'd be able to board the Zorn train!
"Jackson Whittle!" Krystal's heart was shattered to bits. She tugged on Jackson as she blubbered, "Jackson, how can you be protecting this b*tch when I am your wife?! She's nothing but a shameless succubus who seduced you!"
"Listen to me, Krystal…" While stopping Krystal, Jackson pushed Kelly away, signaling for her to leave or she'd be dead meat.
Kelly knew that no good would come to her if she stayed, so she ran out of the hotel while Jackson held the Caddel women back.
"Don't let her get away!" Olivia shouted.
Someone tried to intercept Kelly, but Brian ultimately couldn't bear to see Kelly caught. Hence, he went up to the person and said grimly, "Young Mistress Kendall is still here. As horrible as Kelly is, she's still Young Mistress Kendall's sister."
Excuse me, but who's her sister?! Kendall snorted. We don't even share a sliver of blood between us.
Her birth parents and baby girl had all died in Kelly's hands in her past life.
Having said that, she was also at fault back then—her biggest fault was her incompetency. It was because of her love for Jackson that Kelly and him managed to scheme against her, ultimately causing her to lose her birth parents, fail to secure Parker Corporation, and even become the reason for her and her daughter's death.
She would often recall how Kelly had dropped her baby in the dead of night, and whenever she did, her
hatred for Kelly would deepen.
Though Kelly hadn't done anything that would lead to her birth parents' death in this lifetime yet, the woman had already plotted to have her lose her chastity, then have Jackson pretend to be the one who did it so that he could justifiably marry her. Too bad for Kelly and Jackson, she came back with a vengeance and successfully avoided their scheme.
Speaking of which, she was the one who recorded the couple's little rendezvous and also had someone leak the footage to ruin the two. At this point, they could no longer remain in the high society of Orapolis.
Since reincarnating, she had sworn to seize everything Kelly cared about and owned, leaving her with nothing and also despised by everyone wherever she went.
I've waited months for this chance, yet you want me to plead for Kelly? Dream on, Brian!
Nevertheless, Brian still managed to stop them and allowed Kelly to escape successfully after using Kendall's identity, upsetting Kendall a little.
Who'd have thought she would indirectly save Kelly despite being the one who orchestrated the show?
But since all the guests saw the footage of Jackson and Kelly's rendezvous, Kelly's name was ruined for good. Thus, Kendall no longer minded that Brian used her to help Kelly escape.
The following day, Kelly would undoubtedly be on the entertainment headlines of every Orapolis news outlet.
"Young Mistress Kendall." Krystal shoved Jackson away and ran toward Kendall. She wanted to throw herself at Kendall, but Dylan's bodyguards stood in the way, preventing her from getting close to their young mistress.
"Young Mistress Kendall, I'm really sorry. I was very wrong of you!"
The poor bride was in utter discomfiture right then, her makeup ruined by her tears.
Krystal wanted to slap her own face upon recalling her attitude and wariness toward Kendall. Worse, she had even challenged the latter in the past.
Kendall had clearly reminded her of it, yet she continued to wrongly accuse and misunderstand Kendall.
"Young Mistress Kendall, that b*tch is still your sister. You can't harbor her. Please, I beg you to seek justice for me."
At that, Kendall stood up grimly and said to Krystal, "Mrs. Whittle, I sincerely sympathize with your misfortune. However, despite being a Parker, Kelly and I don't share the same blood, and she's merely my parents' foster child. She said it herself that her business is her problem. My parents don't need to get themselves involved. Who am I to her if even my parents can't step in? I'm afraid I really can't help you with this, Mrs. Whittle."
With that, she turned to Jackson, whose countenance changed multitudes in the last few minutes, feeling despondent.
Right then, he looked night and day from the jubilant man at the hotel entrance earlier, giving Kendall a rush from succeeding in her revenge.
"Mrs. Whittle, it takes two to tango. You can't put all the blame on Kelly. Who knows, she might actually have a good reason for doing so. You should have a proper talk with your new husband." Kendall emphasized the words 'new husband'.
Though her retaliation toward Kelly and Jackson was intentional, she had to admit that Kelly was also one of Jackson's victims.
However, Kelly was in the wrong for proactively having an affair with Jackson after being tricked by the man.
Of course, it wasn't fair for a woman to shoulder all the blame in an affair. It took two to tango, and the man was just as much at fault.
"Kendall…" Jackson wished he could bury himself in a hole right then, made ashamed by Kendall's stare.
Kendall probably knew the truth behind his relationship with Kelly, for he was the one who had drugged and used Kelly.
"Honey, let's go home!" said Dylan impassively all of a sudden, his face enveloped in a thick layer of contempt.
"Okay."
Kendall thoughtfully helped Dylan up and left the hotel, slowly walking away from the pandemonium under the bodyguards' escort.
No one dared get in the way of the couple, only ever watching them leave the hotel.
However, Tom and Hudson chased after the couple to see them off still.
Either way, they had embarrassed themselves in front of Dylan with this episode.
However, Dylan ignored them and only led Kendall into his car and drove away in no time.
It was when Dylan's vehicle could no longer be seen that Hudson turned to glare daggers at his 'in-law' and snapped, "Your family has crossed the line, Whittle! How dare Jackson have an affair with that woman on the outskirts of town after being an engaged man?!"
Not only were the Caddels utterly humiliated, but the wedding was now in shambles.
