"As long as our plan works out, Dylan will stop loving Kendall. By then, I'll make life a living hell for her."
After pondering for a moment, Brian replied, "I can help you get the drugs, but you'll have to drop them on your own. I can't help you with that. You'll also have to be careful when dealing with Kendall. She's been vigilant against you, so it'll be hard for you to poison her."
Kelly grumbled, "Although she's vigilant against me, she's completely at ease when she's with her parents and the Woodses. Just get me the drugs and I'll make the arrangements."
To snatch the Parker Corporation, Kelly had made some preparations.
At that, Brian couldn't help but glance at her. Although he had always known that she was ruthless, he was still surprised.
Be it her adoptive parents or biological parents, they were all Kelly's pawns. He supposed he was also one of her pawns.
Despite knowing that, he didn't point it out bluntly. He only said, "Alright, I'll help you get the drugs. However, it'll probably take some time. I know a genius in medicine who is elusive, so it's hard to get in touch with him. Nonetheless, once I find him, I'm sure he'll be able to develop anything other than a drug that will bring a dead person back to life."
Kelly's eyes brightened when she heard that. "Brian, since he's such a genius, do you think we can make him side with us?" she asked.
"Well, you're not the only one who wants to do so. Many people who have witnessed his skills would
like to get him to side with them. However, no one has succeeded so far. Other than being a genius in medicine, he's also an expert in martial arts, astrology, and fortune-telling. More importantly, he's not short on money. All in all, he's a capable person."
Kelly was tempted when she heard that. "Is there such a wonderful person on earth?"
"There are always amazing people out there. Just because we're not aware of them, it doesn't mean they don't exist. If I manage to find him, I'll introduce you to him. The last time I met him was three years ago. At that time, he told me he was looking for an apprentice. He's been traveling around the world because he's looking for a suitable person."
"He has some pretty high standards there!" Kelly remarked. "Is he very old?"
After giving it some thought, Brian replied, "When I saw him three years ago, he looked like he was in his forties or fifties. However, I suppose he looks much younger than his real age."
Truth was, Brian only got to know the genius by chance.
"In other words, he's probably in his sixties or seventies."
He grunted in response.
"I hope to meet that kind of genius sooner. If we manage to gain his favor, we no longer have to be wary of Dylan."
Brian smiled helplessly. "Kelly, don't you think you're oversimplifying things?"
A genius like him wouldn't easily interfere in someone else's conflicts.
It was extremely difficult to buy some drugs from him. If he was fond of a person and it so happened that he needed some money, he would sell the person some drugs at a high price. However, if he was asked to develop poison, he would drug the person first to let them go through the torment before giving them the antidote.
Although Brian had promised that he would get the drugs for her, he didn't have to go looking for that genius. He could get the drugs with ease. He decided to hold Kelly up as he was worried that she might make a mistake when she was too eager to achieve her goal.
Simply put, he believed that Kelly couldn't possibly poison Kendall. Moreover, he was still reeling from the shock that was caused by Dylan's retaliation. If something went wrong again, he would probably be destroyed by Dylan.
He deliberately brought up the genius so as not to get the drugs for Kelly. If she became impatient and decided to get the drugs herself, it would have nothing to do with him once the incident was exposed as she would be solely responsible for it.
At any rate, the mention of the genius successfully distracted Kelly from obsessing about poisoning her adopted parents and Kendall.
On the other hand, Kendall had no idea that Kelly was planning to poison her. Although she had asked some people to keep an eye on Kelly, she was only aware of the woman's whereabouts. She wouldn't have been able to find out about the discussion between Kelly and Brian.
When Kendall, her parents, and Dylan arrived at the hotel where the cocktail party was held, they surprised everyone at the venue. It was only natural that they became the center of attention.
When the organizer saw Dylan, his eyes started glistening like he was a starving wolf.
Fortunately, everyone was aware that Dylan loathed attending this kind of party. Although he had appeared, he wouldn't come into contact with anyone else. The others would only greet him from a distance, but they wouldn't dare approach him.
In such a situation, his wife, Kendall, proved to be very important.
After getting the signal from their husbands, the wealthy ladies went over to Charlotte and made small talk with her. Since Charlotte was Kendall's mother, they could also naturally approach Kendall.
In fact, just like Dylan, Kendall hated this kind of party. In her previous life, after she returned to her parents' side, she frequently attended all sorts of parties with her mother and Kelly. However, she had always been pushed around, so she didn't have any fond memories of such parties.
After she was reborn, she decided to walk down a path that was different from her previous life. Despite that, she still had to socialize with others. As such, she had been trying to get to know all the big guns in the city.
"You're so lucky, Mrs. Parker!" One of the wealthy ladies looked at Kendall and praised Charlotte with a smile. "Kendall is a good child to be willing to keep you company at such a party, which is unlike my daughter. She's never willing to attend any parties with me as she thinks that these parties are boring."
Taking Kendall's hand, Charlotte looked lovingly at her daughter and said with a smile, "Please stop
praising her, Mrs. Fennimore. Otherwise, she'll probably start blushing."
Kendall called out, "Mom!"
The other ladies started laughing.
"Kendall."
When Kendall heard a familiar voice calling out to her, she turned around and saw Yasmine and Jeffrey coming to her with their arms crossed. She blinked as she was surprised to see Yasmine here.
One had to know that the attendees of this party were mostly on the same level as Adam when it came to their social status in Orapolis. Families like the Colemans, the Mendelsons, and the Zorns would not attend under normal circumstances.
Yasmine was a young lady from the Zorn Family. Among the socialites in Orapolis, she was one of the most prestigious young ladies, along with Alice.
In the past, there was no way she would show up at such a party. However, it was different this evening.
Kendall gazed at the man beside Yasmine. She knew that after Yasmine gave up on Dylan, she went on to woo Frank for quite some time. However, perhaps she came to realize that she wasn't really into Frank and that the man only loved Kendall, so she gave up on him as well.
As for the man standing beside Yasmine now, Kendall had no idea who he was. She had heard Yasmine mention a man named Jeffrey before, so she supposed he was that man. Judging from how
loving they looked, Kendall supposed they were together now.
"Miss Zorn," she replied with a polite smile.
The other ladies promptly greeted Yasmine. It seemed that they were not surprised at her appearance.
As Kendall observed the ladies' reaction, she realized that it wasn't the first time Yasmine attended this kind of ordinary cocktail party. She reckoned that Yasmine only did this for the man beside her.
"I didn't expect to see you here, Kendall." Yasmine lifted her wine glass as she intended to clink glasses with Kendall.
