"Okay," Yasmine promised Jeffrey and gave up on the notion of seeing Frank at the Mendelson Residence right now.
He chuckled brighter on the other side of the line, and it rubbed it off on her as she broke into a smile too.
"Jeffrey, your laughter is more dazzling than the sun."
"If it can light up your life and give you happiness, I'm willing to smile brighter than the sun."
She smiled at that. "You're always so kind, Jeffrey."
The man then thought, It is because I care for you. You're the person I want to protect forever.
However, he dared not say it aloud considering how the gap between the Schubert Family and Mendelson Family had widened. He was aware that Yasmine had her eyes on two men only—Dylan Coleman and Frank Mendelson.
The person she wished to marry was Dylan, while Frank was second in line. Even the latter was deemed as a back-burner boy, but Jeffrey was nothing at all.
Although Yasmine did not like Jeffrey, she treated him as an older brother like she always did. As long as he could make her happy, Jeffrey was willing to do anything as he was told. That was the feeling he had for her—she was the sunshine of his life.
"Where are you? I'll pick you up."
"I just left the Coleman Residence," Yasmine answered honestly. "I'm on my way home. You can wait for me outside my house. I'll be there in twenty minutes.".
Knowing that she went to the Coleman Residence, Jeffrey felt bitter, but the smile on his face remained as he gently said, "Okay. You must be driving. I'll hang up now. Drive safely . Don't go too fast."
"Got it. Jeffrey, I didn't go there to meet Young Master Dylan. I apologized to Kendall for what I've done to her in the past. I was blind to do such awful things to her."
The bitterness in Jeffrey was swept away by her words. As soon as she finished her explanation, she ended the call.
…
Kelly was laying on the bed in the hospital. She seemed like she was fast asleep, but she was actually closing her eyes as she pondered over something. The words Brian said before he took his leave made sense to her.
It was highly possible that Kendall planned the whole exposure of Kelly and Jackson's affair at the wedding ceremony. Yet, there was no evidence for it. Kelly knew she could no longer be at a disadvantage in the infighting with Kendall.
If she wished to turn the tables and make Kendall have a hard time, Kendall had to lose Dylan's trust and get into his bad books. After losing his support, she would be nothing.
Kelly, who was oblivious about Dylan's vitality, figured that the best way would be having a handsome man approach Kendall so as to prompt Kendall to betray Dylan.
Kelly did not believe that Kendall would be willing to live a life of a 'widow' forever. Also, Charlotte had secretly gone for a paternity test after her instigation.
No matter what happened, the fake test result had to be handed to Charlotte! Only then would Kendall's reputation be ruined.
Kelly opened her eyes, only to see her biological mother sleeping by her bed. Sally took care of her meticulously and truly loved her. Sally barely slept last night, and Kelly wavered.
Even so, at the thought of Sally being reluctant to put in good words to Kendall's face in order to have Dylan deal with the negative news incurred by the affair, the wavering feelings for her biological mother dissipated.
Yes, she was the real daughter of the Woods Family.
However, they obviously favored Kendall more; although they seemed to be treating Kelly nicely, they would take Kendall's side whenever Kendall was involved.
Kendall was so lucky to be loved by her biological parents upon returning to her real home, while the love from her adoptive family did not wane as well. And what about me?
Kelly's eyes flickered with resentment. Now that Sally was asleep, she took her phone to message Brian. She needed someone to find her an attractive womanizer.
'What are you trying to do, Kelly?' He texted back at lightning speed.
'To deal with my enemy.'
'Are you trying to make Kendall cheat on Dylan?'
'Yeah. If she does that, she'll lose Dylan and become a country bumpkin that has nothing. Everything in the Parker Family is mine. They're all mine!' Her obsession and insanity was evident from her final sentence.
'Okay, I'll help you find one.' Brian had always disliked Kendall and bore jealousy and resentment at Dylan. Thus, he was willing to help Kelly go against Kendall.
'Thanks, Brian. I'll repay you after it's settled.'
'Don't sweat.'
'What are you doing, Brian?'
After a moment of silence, he replied, 'I'm at home.' Drinking.
Kelly's incident was a big blow to him. His parents and siblings were chiding her in his stead, yet he could not say a bad word about her; his heart ached in deep disappointment and pain.
'Have a good rest, Kelly.'
'I will.'
She stopped messaging, and so did Brian. He could accept her, but on the condition of an abortion. Jackson was also another trouble that she could not get rid of. Her mind was in shambles.
Suddenly, a commotion could be heard beyond the doors, including Lyla's voice of stopping someone. Soon, the door swung open.
The reporters, who finally seized their chance, swarmed into the room like bees to take pictures of Kelly. Some of them even lifted the blanket and took a few shots at her belly.
"What are you guys doing? Get out! Get out of here!" She was exasperated. This is a hospital! What are the security guards doing? Why did they let the reporters in and disturb the patients?!
Sally awoke in surprise and sprang to her feet. Despite her attempts to thwart the reporters, her effort alone was not enough. Nelson, who had always disliked Kelly, went elsewhere right after lunch and no one knew where he was at the moment.
"Ms. Parker, are you pregnant with Jackson Whittle's baby?"
"Ms. Parker, since when were you in a relationship with Jackson Whittle?"
"Young Mistress Coleman loved Jackson Whittle and had once turned down the Coleman Family's proposal for him. Yet, she got married to Young Master Dylan in the end. Is it because she found out about the affair and gave up? Is that why she chose Young Master Dylan?"
"Ms. Parker—"
They bombarded her with acute questions.
However, Kelly only responded coldly, "Please leave the room. I refuse to answer any of your questions. These are my personal matters!"
Still, the reporters were not pliant as they kept clicking their cameras at Kelly despite her reluctance to answer their questions.
Fortunately, Lyla soon returned alongside the security guards, who drove the reporters away.
After all, it was the hospital where the patients needed a quiet rest. They could not let the reporters cause a commotion and disturb other patients.
