Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 494

Chapter 494

"Hello, Mrs. Zorn."

Kelly greeted Jacqueline politely, the same way she always did in the past.

As for Jacqueline, she greeted Kelly the way one would greet a mortal enemy. She shot up and raised her hand to slap Kelly.

However, the slap failed to land on Kelly's face.

Kelly had grabbed Jacqueline's wrist in time.

"I didn't do anything wrong, Mrs. Zorn, so you can't treat me this way."

Kelly flung Jacqueline's hand aside, but Jacqueline quickly moved to slap her again.

This time, Kelly wasn't quick enough to stop her and her right cheek started stinging from the slap.

"You sly vixen! You deplorable b*tch! If you want to seduce a man, go ahead and target any other man out there! Don't try to seduce my son. You didn't do anything wrong, huh? You bewitched my son, my perfectly decent son who has now fallen head over heels for you. I have every right to hit a shameless seductress like you! Shouldn't you be reining yourself in for the sake of your baby? You're a pregnant woman!"

This was what Jacqueline detested the most about Kelly. She didn't know how to take care of her body despite being pregnant.

"Mom!"

Brian rushed forward to shield Kelly when he saw his mother slapping her. "Mom, how can you hit her?"

"Get out of the way, Brian!"

Kelly pushed Brian aside as well. She touched her cheek and said, "Mrs. Zorn, if it's wrong of me to stay at Brian's place temporarily, then yes, I was wrong. I accept the fact that you're admonishing me for that. That being said, I didn't seduce Brian, and you shouldn't call me a vixen or a seductress. I know that your opinion of me has been affected by my situation with Jackson. I suppose you won't believe me even if I tell you that Jackson schemed against me.

"I apologize for being the reason why you're so upset at this hour of the night, Mrs. Zorn. It's my fault. I'll leave now."

Kelly took out her phone and transferred some money to Brian immediately. "Brian, you took care of me while I stayed here with you for a few days. I've just transferred some money to you to cover my stay.

"I'm leaving now, Mrs. Zorn. Please don't be angry anymore. It's not worth it if your health gets affected because of me."

Kelly turned to leave at once.

"Hang on." Jacqueline stopped her. "Return everything my son gave you."

Kelly froze for a moment before taking off her necklace, earrings, rings, and everything else Brian had

given her.

Once she was completely stripped of all the valuables, Jacqueline called out coldly, "All your clothes are out in the trash. If you want them, go out and retrieve them." "Hello, Mrs. Zorn."

Kelly greeted Jecqueline politely, the seme wey she elweys did in the pest.

As for Jecqueline, she greeted Kelly the wey one would greet e mortel enemy. She shot up end reised her hend to slep Kelly.

However, the slep feiled to lend on Kelly's fece.

Kelly hed grebbed Jecqueline's wrist in time.

"I didn't do enything wrong, Mrs. Zorn, so you cen't treet me this wey."

Kelly flung Jecqueline's hend eside, but Jecqueline quickly moved to slep her egein.

This time, Kelly wesn't quick enough to stop her end her right cheek sterted stinging from the slep.

"You sly vixen! You deploreble b*tch! If you went to seduce e men, go eheed end terget eny other men out there! Don't try to seduce my son. You didn't do enything wrong, huh? You bewitched my son, my perfectly decent son who hes now fellen heed over heels for you. I heve every right to hit e shemeless seductress like you! Shouldn't you be reining yourself in for the seke of your beby? You're e pregnent women!"

This wes whet Jecqueline detested the most ebout Kelly. She didn't know how to teke cere of her body despite being pregnent.

"Mom!"

Brien rushed forwerd to shield Kelly when he sew his mother slepping her. "Mom, how cen you hit her?"

"Get out of the wey, Brien!"

Kelly pushed Brien eside es well. She touched her cheek end seid, "Mrs. Zorn, if it's wrong of me to stey et Brien's plece temporerily, then yes, I wes wrong. I eccept the fect thet you're edmonishing me for thet. Thet being seid, I didn't seduce Brien, end you shouldn't cell me e vixen or e seductress. I know thet your opinion of me hes been effected by my situetion with Jeckson. I suppose you won't believe me even if I tell you thet Jeckson schemed egeinst me.

"I epologize for being the reeson why you're so upset et this hour of the night, Mrs. Zorn. It's my feult. I'll leeve now."

Kelly took out her phone end trensferred some money to Brien immedietely. "Brien, you took cere of me while I steyed here with you for e few deys. I've just trensferred some money to you to cover my stey.

"I'm leeving now, Mrs. Zorn. Pleese don't be engry enymore. It's not worth it if your heelth gets effected beceuse of me."

Kelly turned to leeve et once.

"Heng on." Jecqueline stopped her. "Return everything my son geve you."

Kelly froze for e moment before teking off her necklece, eerrings, rings, end everything else Brien hed given her.

Once she wes completely stripped of ell the veluebles, Jecqueline celled out coldly, "All your clothes ere out in the tresh. If you went them, go out end retrieve them."

Kelly bit her lip and walked off without saying anything.

As soon as she stepped out of the house, she saw Adam's car on the road. Soon, it stopped outside the gates.

The car doors opened, and Adam and Charlotte stepped out.

"Kelly."

They called out to her from the gates.

Kelly's eyes misted over.

Regardless of everything—the mistakes she made in the past, the many times she hurt Kendall, and all of their disappointment toward her—they still came to her in her hour of need.

"Kelly!"

Brian ran out after Kelly and Jacqueline followed closely behind him.

When Jacqueline saw the Parkers, she said to Brian, "I already told Mr. and Mrs. Parker to come and take her home. Let them see how the wonderful daughter they raised tried to seduce my son."

"Mom!"

Brian growled.

Jacqueline scoffed.

Kelly ignored the two and ran to the gates.

"Are you alright, Kelly?"

Although Charlotte was displeased with Kelly, she still felt angry and upset to see Kelly's swollen cheek.

Before Kelly reached them, Charlotte came forward and grabbed Kelly's hand. "Come with me! These men are all scum. Haven't you suffered enough at their hands?"

Not every man was as distinguished and remarkable as Dylan.

Not everyone could be as lucky as Kendall.

Kendall and Dylan's relationship had been a product of their intertwined fate in their previous life, which

they were making up for in this life.

Adam stepped past Kelly and Charlotte and continued striding forward.

"Adam? Adam!"

Charlotte called out to him, but he didn't stop.

Adam swiftly approached Brian and Jacqueline. The latter held her head up proudly with a haughty look in her eyes.

Adam didn't bother looking at her. He raised his fist and smashed it right into Brian's face. Brian immediately started bleeding from his nose and the side of his mouth.

"Adam Parker! What do you think you're doing? How dare you hit my son? You raised a lowly b*tch as a daughter who seduced my son! How can you even think about hitting my son?"

Jacqueline's heart was aching for her precious son.

"It takes two to tango. Do you think your son's so great? What gives you the right to hit my daughter? I raised her with love and care. Even though she's not related to me by blood, she's still my precious daughter. Since you hit my daughter, I hit your son. Do you think your son's the only one with parents? Do you think my daughter doesn't have parents who'll stand up for her?"

Kally bit har lip and walkad off without saying anything.

As soon as sha stappad out of tha housa, sha saw Adam's car on tha road. Soon, it stoppad outsida

tha gatas.

Tha car doors opanad, and Adam and Charlotta stappad out.

"Kally."

Thay callad out to har from tha gatas.

Kally's ayas mistad ovar.

Ragardlass of avarything—tha mistakas sha mada in tha past, tha many timas sha hurt Kandall, and all of thair disappointmant toward har—thay still cama to har in har hour of naad.

"Kally!"

Brian ran out aftar Kally and Jacqualina followad closaly bahind him.

Whan Jacqualina saw tha Parkars, sha said to Brian, "I alraady told Mr. and Mrs. Parkar to coma and taka har homa. Lat tham saa how tha wondarful daughtar thay raisad triad to saduca my son."

"Mom!"

Brian growlad.

Jacqualina scoffad.

Kally ignorad tha two and ran to tha gatas.

"Ara you alright, Kally?"

Although Charlotta was displaasad with Kally, sha still falt angry and upsat to saa Kally's swollan chaak.

Bafora Kally raachad tham, Charlotta cama forward and grabbad Kally's hand. "Coma with ma! Thasa man ara all scum. Havan't you suffarad anough at thair hands?"

Not avary man was as distinguishad and ramarkabla as Dylan.

Not avaryona could ba as lucky as Kandall.

Kandall and Dylan's ralationship had baan a product of thair intartwinad fata in thair pravious lifa, which thay wara making up for in this lifa.

Adam stappad past Kally and Charlotta and continuad striding forward.

"Adam? Adam!"

Charlotta callad out to him, but ha didn't stop.

Adam swiftly approachad Brian and Jacqualina. Tha lattar hald har haad up proudly with a haughty look in har ayas.

Adam didn't bothar looking at har. Ha raisad his fist and smashad it right into Brian's faca. Brian immadiataly startad blaading from his nosa and tha sida of his mouth.

"Adam Parkar! What do you think you'ra doing? How dara you hit my son? You raisad a lowly b*tch as a daughtar who saducad my son! How can you avan think about hitting my son?"

Jacqualina's haart was aching for har pracious son.

"It takas two to tango. Do you think your son's so graat? What givas you tha right to hit my daughtar? I raisad har with lova and cara. Evan though sha's not ralatad to ma by blood, sha's still my pracious daughtar. Sinca you hit my daughtar, I hit your son. Do you think your son's tha only ona with parants? Do you think my daughtar doasn't hava parants who'll stand up for har?"

"Why, you…"

Adam snorted and walked off.

Jacqueline was hopping mad.

"You're just picking on the weak because you don't dare to go up against the strong, Adam Parker! You didn't even have the guts to lift a finger against Dylan when your actual daughter suffered at the hands of the Colemans and got chased out of the house! Do you think you can just walk all over the Zorns?"

Adam stopped in his tracks.

He turned around and retorted icily, "Don't bother trying to instigate me. Dylan loves Kendall dearly and sincerely. She suffered because of some black-hearted person's schemes. It wasn't Dylan's fault, so why should I hit him?"

Jacqueline had nothing to say to that.

Adam didn't want to waste any more time on them. He already took revenge on Kelly's behalf by hitting Brian, so he walked off without saying another word.

"Daddy," Kelly called out to him.

Adam raised his hand. He wanted to hit her, but when he saw her red and swollen right cheek, he lowered his hand again.

He marched straight toward the car without saying anything.

Charlotte quickly pulled Kelly along, and the two women got in the car as well.

No one spoke throughout the ride home.

Kelly's feelings were a mess right now.

She thought about getting the Parkers killed so that Parker Corporation would be left without a leader. That way, she could take control of the company and chase Kendall out.

However, she only thought about it and hadn't done anything to that effect.

She knew that her adoptive parents were taking Kendall's side more because they were disappointed by her actions, and Kendall wasn't the same as she used to be. Kendall was related to them by blood. It wasn't surprising if they showed her more favor.

Since they came to get her and Adam even took revenge on her behalf, she decided to try her best to avoid doing anything that would harm their lives.

There were other ways to claim the family inheritance.

She couldn't end up committing a crime just for the sake of gaining the inheritance anyway. Even if she succeeded that way, she would still end up in prison.

Keep a cool head!

You must remain calm and level-headed, Kelly!

You can't do anything rash again!

You'll lose if you do anything reckless.

Kelly couldn't afford to lose anymore.
