Chapter 56
At the Parker Corporation' entrance, Nelson was standing at one corner, looking at all the posh cars entering and exiting the company. He was so amazed by this massive corporation seeing that even its visitors drove posh cars.
There was a photo in his hand.
Kelly was in the photo, standing next to a new car.
From Kendall, he knew that the car in the photo belonged to Kelly.
In fact, he did not even have Kelly's phone number, though she was his biological sister.
Kelly never returned to the Woods Family, and she refused to acknowledge her biological parents.
Nelson was displeased with her as well.
Their parents did not raise her, but they did give her life. Furthermore, neither of them was responsible for the exchange of both children. They, too, were victims.
But Kelly didn't want to be associated or have any connections with the Woods in any way.
Presently, the sun was so bright that it hurt those who were exposed to it.
Nelson looked around as he clutched the photo tightly, waiting for the car in the photo to appear before his eyes.
On the other hand, Kelly had no idea her biological brother was here. She headed to the company right after she left Jackson's villa. From afar, she noticed some people standing near the entrance, but it didn't bother her.
Though it was not as large as the Coleman Empire Holdings or the Mandelson Group, the Parker Corporation had a presence in Orapolis. Because of the company's name, many people fought to be hired by Parker Corporation.
Suddenly, a man dashed out of nowhere and blocked her car. Everything happened so quickly that she had no choice but to use the emergency brake to avoid colliding with that person.
Her face turned ashen as a result of this. It was only after a few minutes that she regained her senses and stepped out of the car.
When Kelly realized that Nelson was the one who had stopped her, her expression turned thunderous. "Even if you want to die, don't die in front of me," she said coldly.
"I'm sorry. I was afraid that you would go in before I managed to do anything."
Nelson immediately apologized.
He was also aware that what he had done earlier was risky.
"Why are you here? For a job interview? This is the Parker Corporation' headquarters, and the company only hires the best. There are no available positions for you here. You should try out other places."
Kelly was well aware that her biological family's background paled in comparison to the Parkers. Her brother, Nelson, had only a high school qualification. In an era when degrees are widely available, having only a high school qualification will not set him apart. It would be difficult for the Parkers Holding to hire him.
"Don't expect me to get you in through our relationship. That's impossible."
She put on an incorruptible expression at that.
"Kelly…"
"Don't call my name. Please address me as Ms. Parker."
She abruptly cut Nelson off because she didn't want to hear her own name come out of his mouth.
Meanwhile, Nelson wasn't pleased by her attitude at all. He would never want to look for her if it weren't for his mother, who secretly came to look for Kelly but lost her money and phone due to her unfamiliarity with the surroundings before being involved in a car accident. Even after she was admitted to the hospital, she mumbled that she wanted to meet Kelly.
Nelson was well aware of the fact that Kelly despised their family's poverty and regarded them as inferior to the Parkers.
Even Kendall, the real young lady of the Parker Family, did not treat them with such contempt. She paid them a few visits each month and called them occasionally.
But Kelly…
"Mom wants to see you."
Nelson then continued nonchalantly, "She met with an accident when she came here without our knowledge. Even though she's in the hospital, she keeps mentioning your name. Take some time to pay her a visit. She is being treated at Orapolis General Hospital."
"I don't have time for that."
Kelly then walked back to her car and took her bag. From it, she took a stack of money and handed it to Nelson. "This money is for her. Take it and buy some supplements for her. Please also tell her that my life is great now. My parents treat me the same way they did before, and Kendall respects me as her sister too. Don't be concerned about me. If it's truly for my own good, please just live your lives in that small place and stop bothering me. Of course, you can let me know if the family is experiencing financial difficulties, and I will do my best to help. But again, don't be greedy and treat me like a golden goose."
Her words utterly enraged Nelson.
He did not take the money. Instead, he slapped her hand away and said angrily, "Kelly Parker, I know you look down on us but the one lying in the hospital now is your mother, who met with an accident because she wanted to see you. Now, you do not even want to visit her? Where has your humanity gone?"
After his words, he snatched the money from her and slapped them in her face.
"You're so arrogant just because of this money, huh? We don't need it!"
Kendall had been sending money to them since she returned to her biological parents' side. Not only that, but she continued to send them good things even after the Woods refused to accept them.
Adam and his wife as well. They were grateful to the Woods Family for providing a good upbringing for Kendall. As a result, when they picked Kendall up from their family, they also gave the Woods a large sum of money to thank them.
Because of all these, the Woods Family was not in need of money.
After slapping the money on Kelly, Nelson furiously walked away with big strides.
Kelly, on the other hand, was wearing a terrible expression. She was afraid of being embarrassed if the others witnessed what Nelson had done earlier.
After a brief moment of silence, she turned around and sat in her car before driving into the company, not forgetting to remind the security guards, "Chase that man away the next time you see him. Don't let him get near."
"Noted, Vice President Parker," the guard replied respectfully.
Kelly drove straight into the building after that.
Nelson, on the other hand, left furiously and flagged down a taxi by the roadside. Even after he got into the taxi, he was still fuming with anger.
His heart ached for his mother, who was lying in a hospital bed and couldn't see her biological daughter no matter how much she wanted to.
At that point, he could not help himself and he gave Kendall a call.
Emotionally, he adored Kendall more. For the past two decades, he and his brother had treated Kendall as their biological sister. They had no idea Kendall was not related to them by blood.
The one who was blood-related to them, on the other hand, was arrogant and couldn't care less about their family.
"Nell!"
Kendall cheerfully called out to him over the phone. She was overjoyed to receive his call.
And the burning rage within him vanished the moment he heard her familiar voice.
"Yes, it's me. Kendall, hear me out before you say anything. Our mother—sorry, my mother, was involved in an accident and is currently in the hospital. Her life is not in danger, but she has been injured and has just undergone surgery. She is currently being treated at Orapolis General Hospital."
Hearing that, Kendall got agitated and asked anxiously, "Is her condition serious, Nell? Why did that happen? Was the driver arrested? Orapolis General Hospital, right? I'll go over now!"
Nelson originally wanted to stop her from going to the hospital, but the words did not come out of his mouth.
"Let's talk further when we meet."
"Sure. I will be there right away. Wait for me at the hospital's entrance, Nell."
"Drive safe."
He was concerned that she would be reckless as a result of her anxiety and cautioned her.
"I know. I'll hang up the phone first, Nell. I need to take leave."
She needed to ask for leave from Dylan.
