"Kendall was the one who let the dogs out?"
Kelly's eyes were filled with hatred when she asked that.
"How dare she treat you in this manner? She slapped you before, and now she's using the dogs! Even if the Colemans are domineering, I knew they won't let their dogs out for no reason. So it was that country girl, huh?"
"I had no idea who let the dogs out, but when I asked for her assistance, she did nothing but stand there and look. If Master Dylan didn't come out, I might have been eaten by the dogs!"
While struggling to recall the details of the incident, he continued, "Kelly, you reminded me of something… Perhaps it was Kendall who did it without Master Dylan's knowledge."
"Master Dylan has no feud with you, so he won't do that to you. It's got to be Kendall!"
She continued, bitterly, "Kendall and I are now fighting over our parents. She is their biological daughter, and my mother is already on her side. If she gets into Parker Corporation and gains my father's trust in her ability to manage the company, there will be no room for me in the family! She has obviously returned to fight me over the Parkers' assets!"
Hearing this, Jackson wrapped his arms around Kelly and sat down on the couch in his room as he comforted, "Don't be afraid of her, Kelly. She isn't comparable to you at all. Even if she gets into Parker Corporation, she will never be able to do well with her abilities. But, just to be safe, we have to go ahead with your plan."
Then, he lovingly kissed her cheek and continued softly, "There's no room for failure, Kelly. If we fail, you will have nothing. And if that happens, our relationship will be difficult to maintain. My mother will undoubtedly object."
Jackson's mother no longer supported their relationship after discovering that Kelly was not the Parkers' biological daughter.
"I know that, and I won't fail as well. From my many years of experiences in Parker Corporation, I am able to chase Kendall out. By the way, Jackson, is your mother aware of your injuries?"
"I did not inform her. If she finds out, she'll rush to the Colemans and cause a commotion, but we can't afford to offend them."
"Aside from the Mendelson Family, who else in Orapolis would dare to offend them?" Kelly asked truthfully.
She noticed that Jackson's legs were trembling.
Well, now that Kendall had been taken away by Dylan to be his servant, Kelly would just sit and wait for Kendall's pathetic end!
After chatting for a while, Kelly checked the time before she stood up and said, "I have to go now, Jackson. I need to accompany my father to a business negotiation in the afternoon."
As if he couldn't bear her leaving, he pulled her back into his embrace. The next second, he lifted her chin and sealed her mouth with his lips.
Kelly passionately responded as well.
Just as he was about to give in to his desire and take things to the next step, she pushed him away.
"I have to leave right now. Jackson, take care of yourself. I will exact vengeance on Kendall on your behalf."
He then sent her off to the door and said, "Don't do anything to Kendall yet. As you have said, your mom is now favoring her. Your mother will be upset if you act rashly. Even if your father now thinks highly of you, it will still be bad for you if your mother complains to him."
Kelly knew that too. Since she was eyeing the Parkers' assets, she could not lay her hands on Kendall, at least for the time being. Kelly needed to put on an act in front of her adoptive parents.
Taking a few deep breaths, she replied, "I'll take your advice. Jackson, please take care of yourself at home. I don't think I'll be able to come in both in the afternoon and at night. Fortunately, the weekend is approaching. Yasmine's birthday is this Saturday, and I'll be celebrating with her. Will you be joining us?"
"Yes, I'll be there with my mom."
"Great. I will see you then."
"Sure."
Jackson then sent Kelly downstairs to the villa's entrance. After seeing that her car had vanished from
his sight, he turned around and entered the villa.
…
Meanwhile, Kendall had spent the entire morning getting acquainted with her surroundings, along with Amos in tow.
When it was close to noon, Amos received a call.
Kendall had no idea who had made the call. She only noticed that he answered the phone in hushed tones and ended the call within minutes.
After he ended the call, he chased after her and called out, "Young Mistress Kendall."
"Yes?"
"Ronnie just called, Young Mistress Kendall, and he told me to arrange for a car to take you to the Dynasty Hotel."
The Dynasty Hotel?
It was as if Kendall thought of something, and her eyes brightened up as she asked sweetly, "Amos, is Dylan treating me to a nice meal?"
Amos truly adored Kendall's straightforward personality. Unlike the others, she always spoke candidly about her thoughts and never beat around the bush.
Additionally, he loved Kendall's appetite as well. She could eat a lot and wasn't picky about what she ate.
Not to mention that her body was kept in good shape, as if she would never gain weight no matter what she ate.
"Ronnie is Young Master Dylan's bodyguard. All of his words are from Young Master Dylan, and he is, of course, treating you to a meal."
Smilingly, Kendall responded, "I've heard that the food at the Dynasty Hotel is excellent. I had planned to bring my parents previously, but Dylan asked me back just to style my hair. It was such a regret. I never expected him to compensate me so quickly, though!"
"Young Mistress Kendall, you appear to love eating."
"Of course! I am a foodie. Well, our mouths are bestowed for us to talk and eat, right?"
Her words amused Amos. Laughingly, he said, "You're right! I will arrange for the car now. Are you able to walk back by yourself?"
"Sure. Dylan will peel my skin off if I still can't recognize the roads after walking around for the entire morning. Your young master is far too ferocious, and he is constantly bullying me!"
"In fact, he treats you very well. From all the years that I am with him, I have never seen him treating any other woman this nicely, besides Miss Alice."
Kendall suddenly recalled the 'Life Plans' that Dylan drafted. "Fine. He has his good side too."
It would be better if he could control his temper, though.
"You haven't spent enough time with him, Young Mistress Kendall. You will soon realize that Young Master Dylan is the nicest man in Orapolis."
Amos was forever on Dylan's side.
Kendall simply smiled in response, not saying anything.
Dylan was perfect in a lot of ways, she knew. But he enjoyed bullying her.
Fine, she was the one to be blamed.
She dug her own grave by refusing the marriage and cutting her wrist in front of him. Despite everything that had happened, Dylan was gracious enough to keep her life and even assist her at times.
Be content, Kendall Parker!
