God, not this again! Dylan let out an inward sigh before replying, "Grandma, you and Kendall are both important people in my life. But you're my grandmother, and she's my wife, so naturally, both of you hold different spots in my heart. Did somebody say something to you? You were starting to treat Kendall nicer before."
Like I'd ever do that. I was only putting on an act. I've never taken a liking to this woman since the beginning, Tilly remarked inwardly. "About what?" She wasn't about to admit it so readily.
Dylan said nothing. He was the head of the family, so he would learn any news in a split second from all the sources he had. Tilly was his grandmother, so the same went for her as well. He had already known that his grandmother had received an envelope as no one was trying to hide the fact. He had sent his men out to find out who was the sender of this envelope and what was in it. I bet I'll receive news about it soon enough. How dare they go straight to Grandma! They'll pay for this. novelbin
"Grandma, Frank really likes her. He's not trying to use Kendall to go against me this time." Dylan decided to be honest. He'd rather tell Tilly about it than have her use it against Kendall.
Tilly's eyes glinted. She was surprised Dylan would be so upfront about it.
"Even Frank fell for her. Are you still going to say she's not good enough for me? If you try doing anything uncalled for and break us up, I guarantee Frank will be most grateful to you. He'll thank you for giving him your own granddaughter-in-law. They might end up married, while I would have to languish at home. And who knows, he might even be raising my kid, too."
Tilly was miffed. "I don't want to talk about your bedroom affairs, Dylan, but don't even think about lying. You've never planned on having a child. The prospect of having a great-grandchild, at least for me, is
still far away."
Dylan fell silent for a moment again. "But we didn't use any protection the first time."
"That doesn't mean you'd knock her up for sure. We'll talk once she's pregnant."
He stopped arguing. He couldn't be bothered to do that anymore.
"Dylan, have you never once suspected that Kendall might be a spy deployed by Frank to set up against you?"
"Impossible," he denied. Because of that weird dream, Kendall hates Frank to the core. There's no way she'll help him.
"Why do you trust her so much?"
"I know she's not his spy and that she doesn't like him one bit. Whatever Frank is doing, it only represents him, not her. You can't doubt Kendall's integrity just because Frank likes her."
Tilly was positively irritated. "It takes two to tango. You can't tell me they haven't talked in private."
Dylan couldn't argue with that. They did meet a few times in private. Even though Frank was the one initiating it every time, it didn't change the fact that they had indeed met in private.
Seeing her grandson fall silent, Tilly grabbed onto this chance to try to poison his mind. She felt rather upset, and her heart ached as she patted his head and said, "Keep an eye on her. She might cheat on
you."
"She won't, Grandma." He trusted Kendall, and that fact angered Tilly even more.
"We'll see about that. She'll show her true colors in time, Dylan. And by then, you'll know that I was right."
Dylan answered coldly, "I trust her."
Tilly scoffed. "Fine. Then, that's the end of our discussion."
The ill-tempered Dylan held the armrest and stood up. Icily, he said, "Good night, Grandma. Sorry for disturbing you." Then, he left.
Tilly could tell he was angry judging from how fast he was walking. She, too, was angry, but she also felt sad for him. Yet, that feeling wasn't reciprocal. Even if he were sad, he'd only feel that for Kendall, not her. Tilly was jealous. The boy she raised was starting to get estranged, all because of Kendall.
Is this what the fortune-teller meant? That Dylan's repaying a debt he incurred in his past life with everything he has?
…
Tom had been waiting right outside of the Mendelson Residence the whole day. He'd call delivery when he got hungry. He wouldn't leave until he had seen Frank.
Frank didn't even care about him. He refused to see Tom, and he even asked his underling to tell Tom a message. "Feel free to wait, but I won't see you, not even if you die. I'd call the funeral parlor for you, though." That irked Tom, but he must stay for his company's survival.
He wanted to know why Frank was going after his company. What did I ever do to him?
The gates opened, and out came Desmond. Behind him, a car slowly moved out.
"Desmond!" Tom knew Desmond. Thinking Frank was finally seeing him, he quickly approached Desmond and asked, "Is Mr. Mendelson finally seeing me?"
"He's not seeing anyone, Mr. Whittle. Leave and don't hang around. You're only making Mr. Mendelson more annoyed."
Desmond continued coldly, "If you want to know why he refuses to see you, take a look at the entertainment news today. It just got updated, and I believe you'll know the answer once you see it." He then got into a car, and the gates of the villa swung shut.
"No, wait! Desmond!" Tom went after the car, but it didn't stop for him. Eventually, it went out of sight. The entertainment news? Tom whipped his phone out and opened the news app. He quickly navigated to the entertainment section and saw the latest news.
There was a picture, and Frank was on it. He was in a wheelchair, holding a bouquet of flowers. Before him was a company, and behind him were a few cars. There was a banner hanging over the cars, and it read, 'Frank loves Kendall!'
The event happened at noon, but the news site only managed to update it now. They were probably
worried Dylan might take them down if they updated it immediately. Someone must have told them to upload the news right now.
The moment Tom saw the banner, his hand slipped, and his phone fell. There was sheer disbelief in his eyes. Impossible. Kendall isn't even that beautiful. How did she manage to make two of the best men in Orapolis fall for her?
Having Dylan alone was enough for her to rule this city, and with Frank in the mix, she could do whatever she wanted. No wonder she ditched my son. She found herself some better men.
