Once Kelly had come to terms with the fact that they were alive, she wanted to shriek in frustration. Her frustration spiked further when she recalled the conversation with Adam informing her that they had successfully fled from death's clutches.
They are quite fortunate!
How are they not dead yet?
If the truth is revealed at some point...
Kelly gritted her teeth as resentment filled her heart.
If the truth were exposed, she would face legal repercussions even though she failed to get them killed.
Her sole remaining hope was that Rosemi would be able to quickly remove the evidence so that no one would suspect her.
“Hey, Mommy. Daddy.”
Kelly opened the door and went inside.
Both biological and adoptive parents were present.
Furthermore, Kendall and her husband were also there.
Kelly didn't have time to think about Kendall's presence as she hurriedly stepped forward, dashed into
Charlotte's arms, and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry, mommy. It's all my fault; you guys... I'm so glad you're okay because you absolutely terrified me!"
Kelly deliberately donned a look of fright as she spoke. Toward the end of her sentence, she even started sobbing piteously.
Charlotte patted her on the back as she reassured Kelly, "Hey, now. We are all fine, and we can't blame you for not knowing that we will encounter a car accident on the way. No one could have possibly known what was coming. I don't know what was going on with that truck. It suddenly accelerated toward us, and we tried to dodge but crashed into the river instead."
As Charlotte recalled the scene earlier, the lingering fear that was curled around her heart made its presence known once more, and she trembled slightly. This incident truly traumatized her deeply.
After some time, she gently pushed Kelly aside and signaled her to embrace her biological mother as well.
Kelly truly wanted to eliminate the Parkers. That way, half of the Parker Family's inheritance would fall to her. Kendall would have no choice but to split the Parker Family's assets evenly. She would be able to get her hands on 50% of the shares as well.
Even though Kendall had grown rapidly ever since she started working at the company, the senior executives and the board had gradually begun to favor her. Nevertheless, she was still far more competent than Kendall regarding business.
Since she had been working there for years, she would undoubtedly have the last say as long as she owned half of the company's shares.
It's just a shame…
Still, Kelly never had any intention of harming her biological parents.
She even wanted to avoid her biological parents from being involved in this matter at all costs.
Alas, she didn't expect that Fate herself would foil her plans so drastically. So, Kelly's biological parents and older brother ended up being dragged into these muddied waters.
They were fortunate, though. Otherwise, she would be forever indebted to her biological parents, no matter how successful she became after this.
"Mommy, I'm sorry," Kelly sobbed as she turned around and embraced Sally, who was standing beside her.
Her sincere apologies were genuine.
Yet, those words also hid a deeper meaning.
Nobody knew that Kelly and Rosemi were the masterminds behind the accident today. Everyone believed the accident occurred because her family was merely rushing over to assist her with the accident she encountered.
Sally hastily said, "Don't worry. We don't blame you. Nobody could have predicted such an accident. Don't overthink things! We're only slightly scratched up. We just have to stay in the hospital for a day or two before we can be discharged."
Sally would be lying if she said she wasn't afraid.
Yet, she didn't want her daughter to be anxious or blame herself for this.
So, she tried very hard to ensure that her tone remained lighthearted
Once Kendall noticed that everyone had finally calmed down, she questioned Adam, "Why did all of you head out together? What do you mean by saying that Kelly isn't to blame? Was Kelly the one that invited you out?"
Before Adam could respond, Kelly replied apologetically, "It's all my fault, Kendall. I almost got my parents killed. I... I left after getting a call from Brian. At that time, I was involved in a car accident at Orapolis Bridge. I got so scared, so I called Daddy immediately."
Kelly's face was full of remorse. "I didn't know that everyone would be there, let alone that they would have a car accident on the bridge. It's all my fault! Why did I call them?"
Kelly started laying all the blame on herself.
However, Kendall merely raised her hand and slapped her across the face after hearing those remarks.
Smack! Everyone turned to face Kendall with wide eyes.
At that moment, Kelly cupped her cheek and cried, "Kendall, it's my fault! You can hit me all you want. I might even feel better this way."
When her parents learned about her mishap, they all rushed to help her, but she...
"I slapped you not because you phoned Daddy but because of you and Brian. Do you not know what's going on? Mrs. Zorn is spreading unfavorable rumors about you everywhere, labeling you a lowly and cheap harlot. Is ruining your reputation once by Jackson not enough?"
"Do you think your reputation isn't awful enough? Do you want to wreck your image until it’s nothing but ash? Do you really lack love? How did Jackson treat you after the incident between you and him was made public? They pinned the blame on you for everything, and now he's happily married to Krystal!"
"Now? Now Mrs. Zorn hurls abuse at you, calling you shameless, and even went as far as to spread rumors that you're clinging to her son after your pregnancy. After everything she did to you, did Brian even bother defending you? Did he even speak up for you? Even once? No! He would have gotten hitched with Dulcie if you hadn't sabotaged their relationship!"
"Your leg is still injured, yet after receiving a phone call from Brian, you promptly left the house to see him. I don't care if you go out to see him, but why didn't you request assistance from him when something happened? Why did you call Daddy? If you still possess a conscience, then you should be aware that you owe both your biological and adoptive parents a debt of gratitude."
Kendall had no proof that Kelly had planned the vehicle crash.
But she had a strong hunch that Kelly had planned everything, even though it was based on her dream. Still, she was canny enough to know that she couldn't accuse Kelly until there was evidence.
The traffic police department would undoubtedly look into the cause of this tragic car accident.
While the traffic police were conducting an open investigation, Dylan's investigators were conducting a private investigation of their own. Both parties would be able to find evidence as long as they looked hard enough.
Besides, Dylan would not deal with this matter privately. If he received any solid leads, he would definitely hand them over to the police so they could use them to prosecute the culprit as soon as possible.
If Kelly couldn't be charged, Kendall had no choice but to use Kelly's private affairs to spark controversy.
To be frank, the whole farce regarding Kelly's mess was also annoying. So, it wouldn't be out of place for Kendall to berate her about it.
I'm not sure what on Earth is Kelly thinking. She was so deeply in love with Jackson at the time, but she finally came to her senses once he chose his career over her and married Krystal instead.
Jackson might have genuinely loved Kelly, but he was more enamored with his wealth and status.
He eventually decided to give up on Kelly when the option of getting richer was placed on the line.
Yet, Kelly, who had finally escaped Jackson's control, dove headfirst into Brian's manipulation.
Brian used to love Kelly genuinely. Although he also found it difficult to let go of her now, his love for
Kelly was no longer pure; there were other emotions intertwined, such as resentment.
There was a high chance that he was deliberately leading her on as a form of payback.
Brian was so down in the dumps that he very nearly went insane with grief and hate when he learned about Kelly and Jackson's romance at Jackson's wedding. How could he possibly continue to love Kelly after that?
Kelly had a good hand of cards but played poorly.
To be honest, Kelly was exactly like her in her previous life.
