After Brian received the location, he immediately went out.
Upstairs, Benjamin was actually still keeping an eye on Brian.
Seeing that his younger brother hurriedly out to pick up Kelly despite being busy all day and tired after the call, Benjamin sighed.
The Parker sisters are all pests, hurting the Zorn Family so severely.
On the other hand, the Colemans didn't know what was happening to the Zorn Family.
Presently, the Colemans persuaded Tilly to let Kendall come back.
Alice cried in the name of worrying about her big brother.
She cried so much that Emily panicked and followed suit.
Their cries made Tilly upset, so she snarled, "It's only been a day; he can't have fainted from hunger. If he really did, he asked for it. How dare he go on a hunger strike to threaten me for a woman? I'm not afraid of him starving. I have other grandchildren aside from him. If you are going to cry, do it outside. Don't make a hullabaloo here to distract me."
Then, Tilly drove everyone away and locked herself in her room.
Afterward, she couldn't help calling Tia to let Tia contact her old friend, Mary, and have her come into the room to talk with Tilly.
Since Tilly drove the juniors away, she sulked on the chaise lounge in her room.
Then, Mary came in and brought Tilly a late-night snack.
"Tilly, please eat something. You didn't eat much for dinner."
As Dylan locked himself in his study for a day, Tilly hadn't eaten much since she woke up either.
Dylan was her beloved grandson, after all. Naturally, she felt terrible for him.
"Ugh, I don't have the appetite. Dylan poked me in the heart."
Before her old friend, Tilly didn't hide her distress for Dylan.
After Mary put the snack on the coffee table, she sat next to her old friend and advised, "You could have lived a peaceful and happy life. Now, look at yourself. You have a big family, so why do you have to suffer by finding trouble for yourself? You just had to torment your grandchild and fight with him, didn't you?"
When she heard that, Tilly sighed heavily. "I know I went too far this time. Initially, I wanted to wait until Dylan left home before kicking Kendall out. Then, when I saw the trending news, I instantly got angry and did it without much thinking. It's too late to regret my actions now."
Then, Mary said, "It's not too late. Just right your wrongs by letting Dylan get Kendall back, then everyone will be happy. Next time, you should stop interfering in the juniors' love life. They are all adults
who have their own will, not children who need adult guidance. They know what they want. As elders, we should watch over them. If they ask us for advice, we can give them a bit of input for their reference. In the end, they have to make their own decision. In this way, you are still the elder deeply respected by your juniors and will not end up like this. Regardless of what you do right or wrong, it is wrong in the eyes of the young if you forcefully separate the couple."
Tilly stayed silent when she heard that.
After a long time, she said, "I shall wait a little longer. If Dylan keeps this up, I'll go with the flow."
After a few beats, Mary muttered, "Why not now? Aren't you worried that Dylan is starving?"
Tilly snorted in response. "If he collapses, I'll be even less likely to let him go and get Kendall back. What I hate most in my life is being threatened."
Mary understood what Tilly meant.
So, instead of discussing the subject further, Mary urged her old friend to eat something.
"Please eat together."
"Sure."
The words Mary got from Tilly were quickly brought to Dylan by Jane.
As for what Dylan would do, that was up to him.
Mary had helped all she could.
Moreover, Mary thought that Kendall was an excellent woman. Although she wasn't on par with Dylan, she did her best.
In fact, look at Orapolis. Is there any woman who is able to be on par with Dylan?
…
Brian called a tow truck for Kelly to tow her car away.
"May I send you home?" Brian asked.
After Kelly got into his car, however, she said, "Brian, I don't want to go home."
"Why?"
Brian then asked in confusion, "Where are you going if you're not going home?"
Biting her lower lip, Kelly mumbled, "I've told everyone about Kendall being kicked out of the house by the Coleman Family, so my parents must be annoyed with me now. If I go back, they will definitely scold me. I don't want to be scolded, so I will stay outside for a few days until my parents calm down. How am I to blame, though? Old Madam Coleman silently approved this. Even if I didn't say anything, the fact that Kendall was kicked out of the family can't stay hidden for long."
As Brian drove along, he stated, "Ignore them. Their attitude toward you has changed since they learned that you are not their birth daughter. Your father is a little better because you can share his
burdens in the company. However, your mother has long been biased toward Kendall. They have raised you for twenty years, but they are still cruel enough to hurriedly favor Kendall."
Kelly smiled bitterly. "I'm not their birth daughter, after all. They groomed me as their successor, only to discover that I was not their birth daughter. They will probably not hand me the Parker Corporation."
Hence, I have to get it myself! If I can't get Parker Corporation, I will destroy it rather than let Kendall inherit it. However, I will let her inherit Parker Corporation after I empty it, so it will hurt her instead.
"Where are you going to stay tonight?"
"I don't know either. I don't have a house for myself. Thinking that all the property under my parent's name would be given to me in the future, I never bothered buying a house for myself…"
Kelly didn't say anything further.
It was not that she didn't buy herself property, but every house and shop she bought was rented out for tens of thousands a month.
However, she didn't tell Brian to make him think she had no way out and pity her.
As she expected, Brian said, "Why don't you leave yourself a way out? Even if you are their daughter, you still have to buy yourself a few houses. If something bad happens, you can sell the house in an emergency and have a place to stay."
"I never dreamed I wasn't a child of the Parker Family," Kelly mumbled pitifully.
At that, Brian sighed. "I have nothing to say to you, but I have a few houses and two villas under my name. If you don't mind, I'll send you to one of my villas to stay for a few days. It's been renovated and furnished, so it's livable."
That was exactly what Kelly was waiting for.
Although she and Brian partnered to hollow out the Parker Corporation, she was still ruined and left with a bad reputation. Hence, she now sought more protection.
If I'm with Brian… Judging from his feelings for me, I can use that to my advantage. No matter what, he will help me.
