"The Fords of Eastfort has a huge network. They can know anything they want."
Brian envied Kendall's good fortune. I can't believe a random kid she saved would be the Fords' heir.
Kelly hissed, "I can't believe her luck." She stole my good fortune. I fell so much from grace all thanks to her.
"I can't help you anymore, Kelly. Sorry," Brian apologized. "But we can still work together professionally."
Slowly, Kelly calmed down. "You've helped me a lot, Brian. Our enemies are just too strong. Our plan might have failed, but we'll go with Plan B. Get a handsome, caring man to approach Kendall. Once she breaks up with Dylan, he'll get mad, and she'll lose his help. And she'll have to face his wrath." Kelly and Brian knew firsthand how cruel Dylan could be to his enemies.
"On it. It'll be done soon," Brian whispered. "Lay low and don't draw any attention to yourself at the moment. All for the plan."
"I understand."
"Charlotte knows that Kendall is her real daughter now. Your plan failed. She's going to dislike you for even suggesting that Kendall is an imposter. Do you want to move out?"
Kelly stayed silent for a while. "No," she said.
"I'll give you a villa if you have no place to stay." He thought the lack of a place to stay was the reason
she refused to move.
"I have two villas under my name. Dad and Mom gave them to me on my eighteenth birthday," Kelly answered.
Hatred welled within her again. Hatred against Kendall. Her parents used to dote on her. When she came of age, they gave her two villas and made her the owner. And she also got a huge sum of money, expensive cars, and brand-name bags.
But now they were going to give the bulk of their wealth to Kendall, and they were already preparing the dowry for Kendall's eventual marriage to Dylan, even though they would only hold the wedding ceremony when Dylan could walk like a normal person.
"I can't. Moving out is going to work badly for me. I'll lose everything," she whispered. "I'll stay and be a good daughter to them. If or when they get into a freak accident and die without leaving a will, I can still get half of what they own." She was still their daughter, legally speaking.
"I can't. Moving out is going to work badly for me. I'll lose everything," she whispered. "I'll stay and be a good daughter to them. If or when they get into a freak accident and die without leaving a will, I can still get half of what they own." She was still their daughter, legally speaking.
Brian saw through her dastardly plan, and he was shocked. Never did he expect the woman he loved to plan for the Parker couple's demise. She wants to kill the people who raised her? That's awful. No wonder everyone told me to stay away from her after that scandal with Jackson. Yasmine especially wants me to keep away.
And they used to be best friends. I guess none of us know her well enough. "Don't do that unless
you're out of moves," Brian said. "I know they're biased, but they did raise you after all. They're still your parents. We can sabotage or even ruin people's lives for money, but murder is the one line I won't cross. It will get dragged out into the light sooner or later. You don't have to do this."
"I never said I'd kill them. Accidents happen to the best of us, right? They might run into something tragic and lose their lives," she denied the allegations, though she did get the idea of killing the Parker couple to get half their wealth. "I'm getting out in two days. Once I return to the company, we'll set up a company under your name and partner up with Parker Corp. Then we'll swindle them for everything they have."
As long as she could get everything she wanted from Parker Corporation, Kelly wouldn't kill the Parker couple. Paying for her crimes with death was something she'd like to avoid. Not to mention Kendall and Dylan would find out about the murders and hunt her down. The only way to be safe was for both of them to die, but she would never try to kill Dylan. She wasn't smart or foolhardy enough.
"We'll talk once you're discharged." He paused for a moment. "So, have you reached a decision? I can still date you if you just abort the baby." He didn't mind her sleeping with someone else, but not if she was pregnant with another man's baby.
Kelly said nothing.
"Why do you do so much for Jackson? He dumped you right after the scandal broke out. You have to give up by now."
His heart ached for Kelly. What part of him does she like? Just the thought of the woman he loved getting abused sundered his heart. Though the thing that hurt him most was how Kelly handled this whole mess.
"It's not just his baby. It's my kid too," Kelly answered, the pain in her voice obvious. "It's a hard choice to make, Brian." After everything that had happened, she could see that Brian truly loved her. She wanted to date him, but there was no way she could get rid of her baby.
A long sigh escaped Brian's lips. "I see I didn't do enough for you. You still don't feel secure with me. I'm sorry I landed you in a bad position. See you later. You get some rest for now. Oh, there's something I need to tell you."
"Just yesterday, Nell, your brother, confronted Jackson for you. But he and his wife almost killed him. He's in the same hospital as you, though he's in the ICU. Think it over, Kelly. Jackson's not worth your time. Everyone around you is hurt because of him, and you're a broken mess. This isn't worth it."
He hung up as soon as he finished and tossed the phone onto his desk. Then he leaned on his spinning chair and stared blankly at the door.
Someone opened it, and in came a jovial Yasmine. "Hey, Brian—" The moment Yasmine saw the look on her brother's face, her smile faded away. Then she picked his phone up.
