"Brian, when can you get me the drug I asked for?" whispered Kelly before Brian could even provide the young woman with another idea.
"I'm actually in a meeting, Kelly," said the young man as he evaded the question. "I'm answering your call in the washroom. Benjamin will start yelling at me if I stay any longer. We'll talk some other time, alright?"
"Don't use your brother on me, Brian!" Kelly chided at once. "You don't want to get me that drug, do you? Fine, I'll do it myself. I don't need your help!"
With that, she ended the call furiously.
She wanted to smash her phone onto the floor but put it down after some thought.
There's no reason for me to destroy my belongings just because Kendall won this round.
Given the current circumstances, Kelly now thought that using drugs was slow. She would need a crisp and straightforward plan if she wanted to send her parents to the afterlife as soon as possible.
She was a Parker before knowing that she had been switched at birth. Her official IDs were linked to the Parkers' who had also raised her for over twenty years, and everyone in Orapolis knew her as the daughter of the Parker Family.
Even after knowing she wasn't their real daughter, nothing changed until Kendall's return. Even then, her status only changed from being a birth daughter to a foster one.
In fact, her official IDs were still linked to the Parkers'.
If her foster parents passed, she would still be able to inherit their assets as their foster daughter; it was just that she would have to divide it equally with Kendall. But even so, it was better to wait until her foster father split up the assets himself.
Kelly knew her foster parents weren't heartless people and would certainly make arrangements for her future. If anything, she would likely gain some assets if she did nothing, but would what they had portioned out sate her? Of course not.
It would be nice if I received half of their assets.
As the successor Adam had personally trained, she was well aware of how much the Parkers possessed.
Sure, it wouldn't be as much as the mega-billionaire Coleman Family, but it was at least a couple of billion.
She'd get hundreds of millions if she got half of it.
Of course, it would be better if she could inherit all of the Parkers' assets. Dividing them with Kendall would be the next best thing for her when she had no other choice.
At that, her eyes twinkled. I have to sit down and devise a plan to end Mom, Dad, and Kendall. That way, all of the Parkers' assets will be mine!
She'd also have to remove herself from the picture, or she wouldn't be able to enjoy the fortune even if she got them.
Brian certainly won't help me with this.
Kelly understood now; Brian genuinely loved her back, but he was heartbroken after knowing she was dating Jackson.
When the two hooked up, she was the one who made the first move. Brian merely went along with it.
If he genuinely had her best interests at heart, would he have done it when he knew that she was pregnant?
Of course not! He was merely toying with her, wanting to get back at her for making him her back burner for years.
Hence, Kelly knew she couldn't blame Brian for getting back at her like that. As resentful as she felt, it was on her for making him her back burner while dating Jackson at the same time.
Jackson and Krystal were still in detention at this point, and their crimes would be sentenced very soon. Jackson would probably be put behind bars for a few years, and Krystal wouldn't be able to get away either for being his accomplice.
Either way, Jackson was a no-show, and the plan they had devised in the past had to go down the drain when Kendall suddenly woke up and refused to marry Jackson anymore.
Loathe now could barely even describe the hatred the Whittles had for Kendall.
Wait, that's it! Ask the Whittles for help!
They would certainly be happy to ally with her, especially Rosemi, who wanted Kendall dead more than anyone else.
What was more, Kelly was pregnant with Jackson's child. The little one was the Whittle's hope! If Rosemi worked with her to get rid of Kendall and her birth parents, the Parker Family's assets would eventually belong to Kelly. In turn, it also belonged to the child in her belly.
If Rosemi can figure this out, she'll certainly help me. With that, Kelly proceeded with her plan.
That night, she sneakily contacted Rosemi and asked to see her in a secluded suburb, and lo and behold, Rosemi showed up to their little rendezvous on time.
"Kelly."
Rosemi had been on high alert her entire journey here, looking all around and making sure no one was following her before she finally got out of the car and approached the young woman who had been waiting.
Kelly turned around in response.
She had deliberately worn a loose-fitting maternity outfit, and her slightly bulging belly made it apparent to everyone that she was pregnant.
It had been a while since the two met, but Rosemi didn't have the desire to look for Kelly as her
husband had told her not to drag the young woman into this. It was good for the Whittles that Kelly was willing to continue conceiving Jackson's child, for it meant that their son would have a progeny at the very least.
Hence, Rosemi had been resisting the urge to bother Kelly until the latter contacted her that night.
"Thank you for coming, Mrs. Whittle." Kelly turned around and watched as Rosemi approached her.
As they were in a secluded suburb, there weren't any residents nearby; naturally, there were no lights either.
That said, Kelly brought a portable, chargeable lamp for illumination, and it was pretty bright. It allowed her to see that Rosemi had gotten much gaunter and seemed to have aged by a decade.
"How have you become like this, Mrs. Whittle?!"
Kelly knew the Whittles were going through a tough time lately, but she never imagined it would be to this extent. Even Rosemi, the matriarch of the family, had changed drastically. The clothes she was wearing had become the off-the-shelf type, and the Hermès she always carried in the past had been swapped with a bag only worth several thousand.
Even the car Rosemi came in was no longer a luxury car but one that cost hundreds of thousands.
In the past, a car like that would be given to the Whittle Family's housekeeper for grocery shopping.
"It's all thanks to Kendall!" Rosemi raged. "Coleman Empire Holdings and Mendelson Group kept cracking down on us to avenge her. We might have a bit of a background, but we can't withstand two
giants cracking down on us at the same time either, can we?! Now, not only will we go bankrupt, but we'll also be heavily indebted."
At that, she continued, "Kelly, we're on the verge of losing everything, and it's all Kendall Parker's fault! Oh, how I loathe that woman! Why can't she just die?! How can she be so lucky as to gain Master Dylan's devotion and loyalty?! That b*tch didn't stop there, though! After making Master Dylan hers, she went to seduce President Mendelson!"
"B*tch! Wh*re! No wonder my Jackson doesn't love her! She isn't worthy of my Jackson at all! Why can't you just die, you f*cking b*tch?!" Rosemi cussed Kendall again and again.
It was precisely what Kelly wanted from her—her loathing toward Kendall.
At that, she pulled out a stack of money and handed them to Rosemi, saying, "Here's a hundred thousand, Mrs. Whittle. Though I can't help your family, this should be enough for you to make do with your living for a while. Here, take them."
Rosemi turned her down at once, and the hatred in her eyes mellowed a little as she gazed at Kelly's belly. "Kelly, you're pregnant with Jackson's child—my grandchild. You should keep the money for yourself. Raise my grandchild into a fine young man so that he can restore our family's name and avenge his grandparents."
