"Do you have something to tell me, Alice?"
"Yeah. Someone sent Grandma a letter yesterday, and she looked absolutely upset after seeing it. They're photos, from the looks of it. But she held onto the photos after she stuffed them back into the envelope. She just wouldn't let us in on it. I have no idea what those photos are about, but Grandma probably cares a lot about the person involved. She cares about all of us, but we haven't done anything that would cause a ruckus, so you're the only person left."
Oh, so that's how it is. Kendall then said, "It's probably the photos of Frank confessing to me at my company's entrance. They're all over the entertainment headlines."
Alice froze for a moment. "It's already making the rounds?" Alice was worried her grandmother might find out she was snitching, but now her worries were gone. The whole city probably knows Frank likes Kendall now.
"It made its way to the news last night, probably thanks to Frank. Dylan will make sure they can't show up in the search results if Frank made his move too early, so he went with the night."
That scheming, diabolical scumbag! "Kendall, do you like Fr—" Alice wanted to ask something, but she noticed the look Kendall was giving her, and she quickly said, "I trust you no matter what, Kendall." She and Dylan are getting along now, and I've been watching their relationship grow all the while. So, their love for each other must be real.
"Thank you for trusting me, Alice. I don't like Frank at all. I have no idea what I did for him to be so obsessed with me. I suspect he's doing this on purpose to get at Dylan and ruin our relationship."
Kendall told her mother and Dylan what happened in her past life, but she kept it a secret from everyone else.
Yeah. Frank is Dylan's enemy. Alice said, "That's probably it. He tries to take everything my brother cares about, be it people or items. But that's not what Grandma thinks. You have to be prepared for anything she throws at you, but most of all, you have to trust Dylan. Whatever Grandma does, it's on her, not Dylan."
Kendall nodded. "I know. Dylan and I talked about this before."
Alice sighed. "Grandma's led her whole life getting whatever she wants. She might appear to be a warm and lovable person now, but there's no way she can change her arrogant attitude."
Kendall laughed at herself. "She doesn't like me because I grew up in a village, and I used to love Jackson. When I look back now, I still can't believe I fell for that scumbag."
She would do anything for someone she loved. Back when she was madly in love with Jackson, she gave him everything she had just so she could marry him and raise a family.
She did that in her previous life. Her mind was occupied by nothing but love, and reality taught her a lesson. The price? A tragedy. It was a price she never wanted to pay again. "Next time you date someone, Alice, keep your eyes open. Don't give them everything you have right away. Some people are good at pretending."
She's even more useful than I am. If someone wants wealth, anyway. "Don't give the guy everything you have. You've to think of yourself as well. Give three parts of your soul to love, three parts to
friendship, and four parts to family. Even if you lose love, that way you still have your family and friends to rely on. You won't lose everything."
Alice smiled. "I'm still young, Kendall. Marriage is still far away. Grandma said she won't push me into a relationship even if I'm still single at thirty." She laughed at herself. "And nobody would try to scam me, much less woo me. I have fifteen brothers, and all of them are awesome."
"The elders envy Grandma since all her grandchildren are successful people. Everyone keeps telling her how blessed she is to have so many successful descendants."
Most of the rich kids were playful and frivolous, but the Colemans weren't. That was why Tilly was envied and respected. The children she raised were brilliant.
"Your family's blessed."
Alice smiled. She had the same idea as well.
They were talking happily, but then Amos came in a hurry. "Young Mistress Kendall!"
"What's wrong, Amos?"
"You need to go back. Old Madam Coleman and her men are threatening to toss your stuff out and chase you out of the family. She wants Young Master Dylan to divorce you, and he's still arguing with her."
Kendall and Alice were shocked upon hearing his words.
Alice hissed, "I can't believe Grandma woke up this early."
Kendall asked in concern, "How's Dylan doing?"
"You have to go back, madam. The other madams and masters are gathering as well. And more were on their way when I came. They said Old Madam Coleman wanted them here all of a sudden." To witness how she deals with you. Amos didn't say the last part out loud.
Kendall looked solemn. "I'll go back right now."
She didn't try to chase me out yesterday, so why now? Probably the headlines. No wait, Dylan settled it the moment he found out what was going on. They couldn't have seen it before they slept.
Kendall went with Amos and whipped her phone out to search for the latest news only to find Frank's confession making the rounds again. Frank did it again. Probably got someone to help him as well.
She let out a silent sigh. Today's the day. No use pushing down the Internet since everyone had seen how Frank confessed to me. Dylan's not a God. He can't silence everyone.
"Kendall!" Alice caught up to her and asked, "This is a bit too sudden. Why don't you apologize when you see Grandma?" Alice was worried.
"You know your grandmother better than I do. Apologies won't work, and I did no wrong. Frank's confession was all his doing. I have no control over him." She didn't want Frank to be obsessed with her, but there was nothing she could do to stop him.
Alice couldn't come up with an answer. Kendall was speaking the truth. Tilly had been waiting for this chance to kick her out. She only kept Kendall around because she was useful. Now that Dylan was getting better, and the rumors about his impotence were debunked, Tilly seized the chance to chase Kendall out the moment she had it.
