Chapter 10
The sight of Jackson reminded Kendall of her past life, and the hatred within her bubbled up and was
almost shown through her angered gaze.
She even had the urge to lunge forward, choke his throat and ask him why he married her even though
he didn''t love her. If it wasn''t him that night, why did he pretend to be that man, fool her, and even
cause her daughter''s death?
"Kendall."
Jackson took a few steps forward and stood in front of her with confusion in his eyes. Previously,
Kendall''s eyes would light up whenever she saw him, but it was a little different this time.
"Kendall, why are you here? Are you alone?" he asked and even took a look around.
Kendall suppressed the hatred within herself with all her might. However, when she saw how he was
looking around, she knew that he was actually searching for Kelly.
A mocking smile appeared on her face as she asked herself, He loves Kelly so much but pretended to
be so interested in me instead. Isn''t he tired from all this acting?
She must have been as blind as a mole not to notice this in her past life.
"I''m here to shop, of course," she said indifferently and walked past him.

"Kelly." Suddenly, he turned around and grabbed her hand.
However, she jerked her hand away immediately and growled, "It hurts!"
He had coincidentally grabbed her injured hand. Even though it had recovered over the past few days,
the cut still hurt upon touch.
Taken aback, Jackson then saw the wound on her wrist, and he quickly held her hand again. HE also
ignored her struggles to get away from him as he asked with a heartbroken face, "Kendall, what
happened? Who did this?"
She nced at him before giving him a mirthless smile as she asked instead, "Jackson, didn''t you say
that you like me? Why didn''t you know that I was injured? You didn''t even visit me once at my ce for
the past few days."
Anxiety shed across his eyes, but he recovered within a split second as he lied, "I''ve been very busy
recently, so I couldn''t visit you. So, how did you get hurt? It looks like a knife cut to me."
"Can you let me go now that you''ve taken a look at it?"
Furrowing his brows, he observed her steadily. Kelly hadined to him that Kendall had changed;
she would act spoiled to their parents and even set her up, but he didn''t believe it. How was a vige
girl like Kendall able to set up Kelly?
But now, he was starting to believe her words because he could see that Kendall was really changing.
The way she looked at him lost the passion she used to have, and it was as if she wasn''t the one who
fell in love at first sight with him and stubbornly stopped him from asking for his number.
"It is a knife cut." Then, she drew back her hand and said dispassionately, "It was a cut from the knife
Kelly gave me."
When she returned to the Parker Family, there was a small dagger amongst the gifts Kelly gave her,
saying that it was for her to bring around as a self-defense weapon. But, thinking in retrospect, she
realized that that woman had begun drawing her into her trap step by step from the moment she
returned, and that was how she ended up with nothing in the end and even died in the streets.
"Kelly gave it to you for self-defense. Why did you hurt yourself with it? It''s already scabbing, so it will
heal quickly now." At the mention of Kelly, the look in Jackson''s eyes softened, and even his tone
turned gentle without him noticing.
The anxiety and sorry voice from earlier was all but gone, and the more calmly Kendall watched him,
the more she hated herself for being so blind in her past life.
He also immediately changed the subject, swiveled to look at the store behind himself, and asked,
"Kendall, you mentioned that you''re here for shopping, and this is a men''s boutique. Are you shopping
for your father?"
"I think it''s unrted to you whom I''m shopping for. No matter what, it''s not for you."
Her retort made him speechless as he loved the clothes from this brand, and she was always buying
them as gifts for him. Every time she was here because she was shopping for him, but now, she said
that she wasn''t buying him anything!
So, who''s she buying for? he wondered curiously, feeling very uneasy at the same time. Regardless, it
was a very odd feeling.
He was used to Kendall treating him as a treasure in her hands, going along with his every wish and
thinking of ways and means to buy him the things that he liked without even needing to mention it.
Suddenly, her attitude toward him had turned stone cold, and even when she went shopping, the
clothes were not for him, making him feel like he had lost something.
"I''m very familiar with this brand. Come on. I''ll be your guide," he said and wanted to pull her into the
store.
However, she avoided his hand, raised her head high while he watched, and strode to the entrance
gracefully in her heels. Then, she pushed the door open and went in.
…
"Stop the car," Dn suddenly barked.
Instantly, the driver hit the brakes and quickly stopped the car at the side of the road.
Dn pushed a button to roll down the window and fixed his aloof gaze on the figure in the distance
that had walked into a store. Right behind her, the person who went after her was Jackson Whittle.
"Stop the car on the opposite street," he instructed coldly.
Hurriedly, the driver did as told, and a few minutester, Dn''s designated car team stopped at the
entrance of Wealthy Luck Street.
"I want to go shopping," he snarled.
Immediately, his bodyguard team started to get into action. Some hopped out of the car quickly and
scanned around warily. Then, after making sure that nobody was suspicious in the vicinity, others
swiftly lifted Dn''s regr wheelchair out of the car while others helped him carefully.
Dividing the work amongst themselves and working in coordination, they worked so swiftly that a
bodyguard was already pushing Dn into Wealthy Luck Street in just a few seconds.
Master Dn was here!
The merchants of Wealthy Luck Street were all intelligent. Even if they had never seen him in person,
they had seen pictures of him in the newspaper. Furthermore, he was the only one who would make
such a grand entrance wherever he went.
"Hello, Master Dn."
"How are you, Master Dn?"
All the shop managers who heard and found out that he was here rushed out and greeted him with all
smiles. It didn''t matter if he didn''t know them because all that mattered was that he knew that they were
very respectful toward him.
Unaware that Dn was on the same street, Kendall started picking out clothes for him after walking
into the store. Meanwhile, Jackson was next to her, butting in ament asionally.
When Dn came in, he saw her picking up a shirt, and she probably wanted to try it on someone, so
Jackson quickly stepped forward, and Dn''s face fell.
Although it was a sh marriage between them, and there wasn''t any foundation built on feelings for
each other, she should be faithful now that they were married and not act so intimately with another
man.
In addition, she was even buying clothes for another man!
Fortunately, she didn''t let Jackson try on the shirt she had picked.
"Wee, Master Dn."
Anyone in the store who recognized him all greeted him politely, and only Jackson and Kendall were
thest ones to see him.
"Hello, Master Dn." It was beyond Jackson''s imagination that he would run into Dn here. Although
he was paralyzed waist down, he was still a god in the business circle of Orapolis. A stomp from him
could create an earthquake thatsted for three days in the industry.
Just like everyone else, Jackson was respectful and terrified of him at the same time. But, on the other
hand, he couldn''t let the opportunity to suck up to him slip by when he bumped into him, and he went
over to him, dragging Kendall along.
With the shirt she had picked out still in her hands, Kendall felt a little guilty when Jackson pulled her in
front of Dn, and he red at her like an enraged bull.
Hang on. Why am I feeling guilty? I didn''t do anything to betray him, she thought. So, she straightened
her back and puffed out her chest as she smiled sweetly, "What a coincidence, Master Dn!"
