Chapter 23


    Julie was at a loss for words, but Alice suddenly continued, "So, does that mean you''re willing to marry


    Dn?"


    Without waiting for Kendall''s reply, Tilly red at Alice and scolded, "Ally, it''s not like your brother can''t


    get a wife. Why are you forcing Ms. Parker to do something that she doesn''t want? You can''t let her


    shed her blood for nothing."


    The words Tilly said were full of sarcasm.


    Alice parted her mouth to say something but decided not to say it, and Kendall could guess that Alice


    wanted to say that Dn couldn''t even do the deed, so nobody would agree to marry him and live as a


    widow.


    "Dn is a great man. Miss Coleman, you don''t have to worry about him not being able to get a wife."


    As Kendall said those words, the pair looked at her with a strange gaze.


    Blinking, Kendall couldn''t help but think whether she had said something wrong.


    Meanwhile, outside the main house, Dn heard what Kendall had said. A glimmer shed through his


    eyes as his hands moved to push his wheelchair and enter the house.


    The moment Alice heard the sound of a wheelchair entering, she stood up and ran out like a happy


    bird. Then, Kendall heard her sweet and crisp voice. "Dn, why are you here?"


    "Can''t Ie over?"


    Alice coquettishly replied, "Dn, that''s not what I meant. Don''t twist my words."


    Now that Dn''s temper has worsened, only Alice dared to talk and act like a spoiled child in front of


    him.


    Afterward, she went to his back and pushed his wheelchair while his bodyguards stopped and didn''t


    follow the two into the main house.


    When the people inside saw Dn, they all smiled but started to behave more cautiously.


    Although Kendall had been reborn from her previous life, she didn''t have much contact with Dn back


    then, so she didn''t know how he and the Coleman Family got along.


    She couldn''t help but feel distressed when she watched the scene unfold before her. Since it was a


    huge blow for Dn to be disabled, it was normal for him to be capricious. However, his family


    was afraid to get close to him and even distanced themselves from him when he needed theirfort


    and encouragement the most, which would make him feel even worse.


    Due to Dn''s restrained personality, nobody could see through his facade.


    After he was pushed over to Kendall''s side, he patted his wheelchair to tell Alice to stop.


    Then, he turned his head to look at Kendall coldly, which she met head-on without fear.


    "Your face is swollen like risen dough. It''s so ugly. Don''t stand here and affect my mood. Scram."


    Dn''s cold and heartless words were like knives that hurt her feelings.


    There was a moment when Kendall felt hurt, but when she remembered Dn from her past life, she


    quickly suppressed her feelings. Then, she quietly turned around and left the main house.


    As Dn spoke, no one dared to make a sound. Even Alice had shrunk back as she tried to meld with


    the background.


    Kendall felt relieved as she exited the luxuriously decorated main house. If she was being honest, she


    felt stressed when facing those unfriendly women, but they were her inws.


    She was the Whittles'' daughter-inw in her past life and was kept under a tight leash while severely


    bullied, making her reluctant to get along with her inws.


    Moreover, those Coleman wives were not to be underestimated.


    Looking up at the sky, Kendall told herself that since she had decided to repay Dn''s kindness with


    the rest of her life, she would have to brave through the difficulties unless it was Dn who wanted her


    gone.


    Good luck, Kendall Parker! Hold onto Dn, defeat your enemies in this lifetime, and protect those you


    want to save!


    …


    Inside Starbucks, Kelly was elegantly stirring her coffee with her spoon when someone called her,


    "Kelly."


    It was Jackson, and he had a bouquet of roses with him.


    She stopped what she was doing and watched as he approached her.


    Once Jackson arrived before her, he gave her a bouquet of flowers which she received and took a sniff


    of. Jackson''s gaze softened as he looked at her gentle behavior.


    Then, he pulled out a chair and sat down. After looking carefully at Kelly, he saw that one of her cheeks


    was red and swollen, so he asked tentatively, "Kelly, what happened to your cheek? It''s red and


    swollen like you''ve been pped."


    The happiness that Kelly felt from receiving the flowers dissipated instantly, and she put down the


    bouquet toin, "It''s your soon-to-be fiance."


    "Kendall? How could she hit you? I''ll help you get back at her next time."


    "You need to get back at her with even more impact."

    Jackson said dotingly, "Okay, I''ll get back at her twice as much. I won''t stop until her face is swollen."


    After that, he touched Kelly''s swollen cheek and murmured, "Why didn''t you dodge?"


    "If I dodged, my father wouldn''t be able to see the mark, and he wouldn''t stand on my side."


    Jackson still felt distressed. "You don''t have to hurt yourself to fight for attention. Mr. Coleman has


    always loved you, so even if you aren''t his biological daughter, his attitude toward you won''t change."


    A scheming glint shed through Kelly''s eyes. "Before I can have my hands on Parker Corporation''s


    shares, I must maintain our current situation."


    Although Adam trusted and depended on Kelly, Kendall was the real youngdy of the Parker Family,


    and that alone was like a thorn in Kelly''s heart. The Parker Family was originally hers, but now, her


    past efforts were all to make things easier for Kendall.


    "I asked toe because I wanted you to investigate what else happened that day when Kendall went


    to the Colemans to slit her wrist and refuse her marriage with Master Dn. I keep thinking that he


    treats her differently."


    Then, reminded of his encounter at Wealthy Luck Street, Jackson''s expression changed as he


    exined, "I met her on Wealthy Luck Street today. She was buying clothes in a men''s clothing store. I


    thought she bought it for me but said she bought it for Master Dn."


    "What? Are you jealous that she wasn''t buying it for you?"


    Kelly couldn''t help feeling jealous and disheartened when she heard Jackson''s words.


    "Kelly, what are you talking about? Why would I be jealous? I just can''t understand why she would buy


    clothes for Master Dn."


    Jackson held her hand gently as he added affectionately, "You''re the only person I have in my heart."


    While Kelly withdrew her hand, she said, "Who knows if you''re lying?"


    "How about I crack open my heart for you to check?"


    She felt better as she smiled andforted him when she saw how anxious he was bing, "It''s


    fine. I was just joking with you. We''ve known each other for so long; of course, I believe you. Jackson,


    we can''t let Kendall have Master Dn''s protection, though."


    Jackson nodded in agreement as he stated, "Just wait until I''ve investigated it, and we''ll discuss it


    further. Don''t worry. How would a person like Kendall get Master Dn''s protection? Don''t you know


    who he is? Even Laura can''t get his protection. How could Kendallpare to her?" He thenforted


    Kelly, "Maybe we''re being too paranoid."


    As Kelly thought about it, she agreed with Jackson. Kendall grew up in the countryside, and unless


    Dn was blind, there was no way he would protect Kendall. What she saw today must have been an


    illusion.


    That''s right. It was all an illusion!


    Maybe Dn just wanted to y a trick on Kendall, but he didn''t want anyone to help him. That was


    why he said that he had Kendall''s back.
