"Are you here to apologize now that you know how Kelly is really like and that she has used you?"
"What do you think?" Yasmine huffed.
She used to trust Kelly too much, but she would never have imagined that that was the kind of person Kelly was.
"Did you and Jackson break up because you knew about Kelly and him? And you changed your mind and decided to marry Master Dylan despite his disability?"
There was sympathy for Kendall in Yasmine's words.
"You can say that."
Kendall only had her chance to be reborn because she knew about it before she had her second life, plus she had lost her baby daughter and was hit by a car.
That was why she, as Yasmine said, would get married to Dylan.
"Why don't you expose them?" Yasmine asked. If it had happened to her, she was sure she would make the life of the pair of cheaters a living hell.
She couldn't help thinking how cultured Kendall was for never exposing their relationship.
Of course, Kendall wouldn't tell Yasmine that Kelly's current downfall was exactly because she had exposed her. Instead, Kendall pretended to be helpless as she sighed. "She is my parents' adopted
daughter no matter what. She is a Parker as well, and we come from the same family. It will also embarrass my parents if I kick up a fuss. That was why I put up with it."
Hearing that, Yasmine was filled with sympathy and resentment. "You might treat her as a sister, but she doesn't do the same to you! Do you know why I hated you so much before, and kept treating you badly and wanted you to make a fool of myself? It was because Kelly often spoke ill about you to me. As her close friend, I would naturally stand on her side and go against you. But when I did that, she started acting like she was innocent and tried to help you by standing up for you. All she did was make me the bad guy."
Kendall looked taken aback for a moment. "So that is the case," she eventually muttered. "I thought you hated me and tried to teach me a lesson because I grew up in the countryside."
"Which is why you don't have to sympathize with Kelly. Also, don't help her. She must be thinking of a way to quiet down this matter now. But everyone already knows about it. It will be impossible for her to do so unless someone suppresses it by force and not let people talk about it. The only person who has the ability to do this is Master Dylan. Kendall, you're not Mother Mary. Just give Kelly a social death after she has treated you that way. She brought this upon herself."
Kendall looked at Yasmine after she said that. She didn't expect Yasmine would throw Kelly aside without hesitation after she had come to her senses, and had even persuaded her not to be so forgiving.
But of course, Kendall was no Mother Mary.
In fact, none of her biological and adoptive family had told her to help Kelly after what had happened.
"What are you staring at me for?" Yasmine eventually asked after being looked at quietly.
"I find your red outfit extremely beautiful and captivating, Miss Zorn! You are as red as a fire!"
Yasmine was speechless for a moment before she grumbled, "Don't get smart with me."
"We aren't close enough for me to do that yet. I am only speaking the truth."
"I actually really like red clothes. I didn't wear them in the past because Master Dylan didn't like them. He likes darker tones… Kendall, even though I envy you for being able to move Master Dylan, I won't bully you like before. You were right to reprimand me. I can't blame anyone when I was the one who voluntarily gave up on Master Dylan."
At that, Kendall nodded. "You have gotten more sensible and mature, Miss Zorn."
"Do you think I am a fool?"
Kendall's giggle that ensued tempted Yasmine to throw her hat at her.
"That is all I came here to say. I will be leaving now."
It might be difficult for them to become friends, but at least Yasmine would lay off the bullying. For now, at least. Who could say for sure what would happen in the future?
As Yasmine stood up to leave, Kendall also got to her feet to send the woman off. She didn't forget to tease Yasmine again, "Are you not staying over for a hot bath?"
Yasmine's face immediately turned dark at her words.
Seeing this, Kendall let out a series of chuckles while she walked Yasmine out. The former stopped walking when they reached the entrance of the house. "Have you not gone to President Mendelson lately, Miss Zorn? I hope you find the information Dylan prepared for you useful."
Yasmine instantly stopped in her tracks as she turned to stare at Kendall.
Kendall continued, "Miss Zorn, would you think that I have other intentions if I told you to stop going after Frank because he doesn't suit you?"
Yasmine stayed silent after hearing her words. She had tried to pursue Frank, but the man rarely saw her.
She was only interested in his identity and status…
Truth be told, she didn't have feelings for him.
And it wasn't like she had the opportunity to develop feelings for him.
She was almost always with Jeffrey these days. Jeffrey used to be her neighbor and he was always very kind to her. If she was in a bad mood, he would talk to her, or keep her company, and would try to make her happy.
All of a sudden, Yasmine felt that it was wrong for her to pursue Frank, or even Dylan in the past.
One's life was only a few decades long. She should be living her life happily. And yet, she had never felt joy when it came to Frank and Dylan.
Am I really going to continue living my life like this? she thought to herself before saying, "I will think it through. Thank you for your reminder."
She swiftly turned around and left after throwing that out.
Kendall stood at the door of the house and watched Yasmine leave.
She was surprised by how Yasmine didn't ask her why.
Yasmine probably knew that she didn't really want to be with Frank. It was just because of her ego she thought only men like Dylan and Frank were worthy of her, since she was the daughter of the Zorn Family.
After Yasmine left the Coleman Residence, she kept replaying Kendall's words in her head.
Frank doesn't suit me?
Dylan and Frank were birds of a feather. Truth was, they both weren't a match for her.
Unlike her cheerful personality, the presidents were more the gloomy type. It would be hard to find common topics if they were together.
Yasmine then recalled the years she spent on Dylan trying every means possible, and racking her brains just to please him so that she would get his love. She had lost herself in the process, and only
finally came to her senses because of Dylan's circumstances. She had regretfully pulled herself out then.
Those were some years that had gone by without her feeling an ounce of joy.
After all, she was so caught up with ingratiating herself to him, but she didn't get any sort of response from him. It would be odd if she was happy during that time.
She eventually decided to head over to the Mendelson Residence.
If Frank still refused to see her, she would listen to Kendall's advice and also follow the thoughts she kept well hidden, and finally live a happy life for herself.
Jeffrey is actually decent… she concluded, only for her to be surprised by her own thoughts.
To Yasmine, she had always thought of them as siblings. She had never once considered there to be anything romantic between them.
Her phone then began to ring.
It was a call from Jeffrey.
… Jinxes are indeed real.
She was just thinking about Frank a second before he actually called her.
After slowing down her driving, she picked up the call.
"Yasmine.“
She instantly felt safe when she heard that cheerful, deep voice coming from the other end of the call.
"Jeffrey, what's up?"
"I got two movie tickets and wanted to invite you to a movie. You seem like you are in a bad mood these days. Let's go watch a movie. Your mood will slowly improve if you do something to distract you."
A gush of warmth spread across her chest at his words.
It felt so good to have someone thinking about and worrying for her.
