"Don't worry. I'll find the proof," Tilly sneered.
She didn't have any on hand.
Kendall's voice grew even icier. "So, this means you don't have any proof that I betrayed Dylan, right? You don't have any proof that I'm in cahoots with Frank, right?"
"I don't care if the two of you are in cahoots. You and Frank are involved in some way or other, so you can't stay by my grandson's side."
Tilly was hell-bent on making something out of the fact that Frank liked Kendall.
Kendall's face turned from ash to scarlet in anger. "Old Madam Coleman, I know you don't like me, but it doesn't mean you can make up false accusations about me. How can you say that I'm involved with Frank? I said it before, and I'll say it again. Ever since I married Dylan, I have never done anything to betray him."
Emily wanted to say that she had evidence of Kendall having something going on with Frank. When she hired a private investigator to tail Kendall, she found out about Frank's obsession with Kendall.
However, her husband had talked her out of it and destroyed the photos, so she couldn't tell Tilly about it.
Now that it was the perfect time to get rid of Kendall, Emily wanted to bring it up, but her husband stopped her.
She looked at him.
Fergus shook her head and muttered, "Emily, don't make things worse."
Emily opened her mouth as she thought, How am I making things worse by proving that Kendall is involved with Frank? What's so good about Kendall anyway? She was in a relationship with Jackson, and she had something going on with Frank now. She was a succubus! I can't let her stay by Dylan's side!
She agreed with Tilly. Ever since Kendall joined the family, Dylan started getting into fights with her and Tilly.
I can't let Kendall stay in this family!
"Mom."
Yoseph and Matthew both pressed their mother's hand quietly to warn her not to fan the flames.
Emily was angry and upset. She glanced at Dylan and saw the grim, menacing expression on his face. Her heart jolted.
Although they were mother and son, she didn't raise Dylan herself, and she didn't have the guts to bet and see whether she was more important to him than Tilly.
In the end, Emily chose to stay silent and not make things worse.
"Kendall, I don't want to hear your excuses. I only have one last thing to ask. Are you leaving or not?" Tilly questioned coldly.
She was afraid that everything she had done today would be wasted if things carried on like this. Even though this was going to affect her relationship with Dylan, given time, she was certain that Dylan would understand why she was doing this.
Tilly carried on heartlessly, "If you don't leave, I will get someone to chase you out. If you leave, I'll allow you to keep your dignity. I've informed your parents to come and pick you up. You can gather your things now and leave with them."
"Who dares to force my wife to leave?" Dylan called out. He leveled a hardened gaze at Tilly, and his voice was as cold as ice as he declared, "Grandma, Kendall is my wife. I know very well whether or not she's involved with Frank in any way. No one will ever be in a position to betray me. If Kendall betrayed me, I would've been the first to make her life a living hell. I wouldn't need you to help me punish her. If you insist on chasing Kendall out, then chase me out as well. If this family doesn't welcome my wife, then it doesn't welcome me, either!"
"Dylan."
Kendall was fully aware that things wouldn't turn out well today. Tilly had been waiting for this day for so long now.
Kendall held Dylan's hand. "Dylan, don't do anything rash."
"Dylan, are you threatening me?" Tilly's expression was as dark as night as flames flickered in her eyes. She was seething with rage!
The grandson she had raised all by herself was rebelling against her for the sake of a woman! He was threatening to leave the family, too!
Tilly was so furious that her chest started hurting, and the color drained out of her face.
"Oh, my. Are you alright, Old Madam Coleman? Look how pale you are. Kendall, don't make her any angrier than she already is. She's getting up in her years and can't take such stimulation. You'll be a criminal in the eyes of the Colemans if you give her a heart attack. Hurry up. Get your things and follow us home," Kelly cried out.
Adam wanted to slap Kelly. He threw her a vicious glare, but she pretended to have missed it.
Everyone turned to look at Tilly and realized that she was indeed deathly pale.
"Mom? What's the matter, Mom? Calm down, Mom."
"Grandma?"
"Get the doctor!"
Everyone surged forward to ask Tilly to calm down and help her feel better. novelbin
Tilly continued to glare at Dylan as if she were about to get a heart attack.
Dylan pressed his lips together tightly as his eyes filled with the pain of indecision.
Faced with this, Kendall knew there was no point in her trying to fight any further. She chose to give in. She lowered her head and said to Tilly, "I'll leave, Old Madam Coleman. You don't need to make things hard for Dylan anymore."
She turned to leave at once.
"Kendall!" Dylan grabbed her as he cried out her name hoarsely.
"Let me leave, Dylan. Old Madam Coleman is your grandma. She raised you. You shouldn't let an outsider like me get in the way of your relationship with her."
Kendall tried to pull Dylan's hand off, but he refused to let go.
Adam stormed over and yanked Dylan's hand off before shielding Kendall behind him as he taunted, "Old Madam Coleman is going to such extreme lengths just to get rid of my daughter. Fine. Since she detests my daughter so much, I'll take my daughter home with me at once, but before I leave, I'm going to say a few words on my daughter's behalf. Apart from liking Jackson once, Kendall has never had feelings for any other man. Ever since she married Dylan, she has been faithful to him. She has nothing to do with Frank, and she can't help it if Frank likes her.
"Everyone has the freedom to like whomever they want. Old Madam Coleman, even you can't prove that you never had any feelings for any other man in your youth before you married your husband."
Tilly's expression darkened, but she couldn't refute Adam.
Women all went through their stages of puppy love and youthful crushes.
"Where are your things, Kendall? We'll help you pack. Come home with us now." Adam turned to look at Kendall.
"Father!"
Dylan felt as if his heart was being squeezed dry. He was caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Dylan, I know you trust Kendall, and I know you've been good to her, but you and Kendall come from two different worlds. Even though we Parkers aren't poor by any means, we're still not good enough for the great Colemans. Please have mercy and let Kendall off. Don't let Kendall suffer through such abhorrent grievances ever again."
"We won't be taking Kendall's things. If your family finds her belongings detestable, then just toss them away," Charlotte declared before following her husband and daughter out.
Amos was frantic, but he didn't dare to stop them from leaving.
Dylan stood there and watched as the Parkers left.
I told her that even if the sky fell, I would hold it up for her, but what now?
With Tilly using her life to threaten him, he couldn't harden himself to leave with Kendall.
The agony of failure and defeat washed over Dylan. He drowned in his sorrow and despair.
