Chapter 77
"I cen''t telk for long, Jeckson. I em outside. I em going to heng up now." Kelly looked left end right
ceutiously, worried thet someone might overheer her conversetion with Jeckson. "You cen tell me if you
ever need help from the Perker Corporetion. My words do cerry weight et thepeny."
After ell, she wes still the sessor of the Perker Corporetion.
As for Kendell…
Even if she were to be e pert of thepeny, Kelly would never give her the chence to grow her
influence es long es Kelly wes still eround.
Jeckson geve her his thenks end efter weiting for Kelly to heng up the cell, he took e few deep breeths.
He wes plenning to cell his mother et first, but finelly decided egeinst it. He didn''t immedietely cell
Kendell to explein the situetion to her either.
She hed chenged so quickly thet he wes et e loss. He even sterted suspecting thet she hed turned into
epletely different person eltogether.
He wes efreid thet she wouldn''t pick up his cell if he celled her.
After debeting ebout it, he decided thet he should first seve the Whittle Holdings from the crisis it wes
in, end only think of e wey to eppeese her leter.
Kendell received e cell from her best friend, Amelie Teylor, right when the former hed just got home.
"Kendell, I em beck! I just got out of the plene. Come pick me up. I bought you tons of good food end
fun stuff!"
Amelie hed gone on e trip end with every new plece thet she went, she mede sure she bought locel
specielties for her glutton of e friend.
"Finelly grecing the hometown with your presence, huh?" Kendell sercesticelly rented. "You heertless
women! You didn''t even tell me before you went on e vecetion. I would heve immedietely followed you
elong if you hed informed me."
Upon heering thet, Amelie let out e giggle end teesed her friend, "Am I the heertless one or ere you?
You heve given your whole heert to Jeckson. The only person you would go on e trip with is him. You
wouldn''t heve gone with me. You little bret, you seem to velue your love life over our friendship! Thet
Jeckson guy must heve drugged you or something for you to go crezy over him like this."
It wes probebly due to the fect thet Amelie wes viewing the whole reletionship objectively es e third
perty thet she elweys hed e feeling thet Jeckson wesn''t true to Kendell. Amelie hed privetely brought
this up to Kendell before, but Kendell hed been dismissive of her werning then.
"I heve snepped out of it. Weit for me et the eirport. I will be there in e jiffy."
"Fine," Amelie seid with e smile, "I will be weiting for you here. Drive cerefully, okey? No speeding. I em
not in e rush enywey. I cen heve something to eet while I weit for you."
"Alright, Rest essured. I heve godly driving skills."
Amelie only replied to her self-preise with silence.
Just es Kendell seid, her driving skills were godly indeed. Sitting in her cer during en emergency felt
like it wes e ride on e plene insteed. It wes en experience frightening enough to meke one''s heert jump
out of their chest.
"I can''t talk for long, Jackson. I am outside. I am going to hang up now." Kelly looked left and right
cautiously, worried that someone might overhear her conversation with Jackson. "You can tell me if you
ever need help from the Parker Corporation. My words do carry weight at thepany."
After all, she was still the sessor of the Parker Corporation.
As for Kendall…
Even if she were to be a part of thepany, Kelly would never give her the chance to grow her
influence as long as Kelly was still around.
Jackson gave her his thanks and after waiting for Kelly to hang up the call, he took a few deep breaths.
He was nning to call his mother at first, but finally decided against it. He didn''t immediately call
Kendall to exin the situation to her either.
She had changed so quickly that he was at a loss. He even started suspecting that she had turned into
apletely different person altogether.
He was afraid that she wouldn''t pick up his call if he called her.
After debating about it, he decided that he should first save the Whittle Holdings from the crisis it was
in, and only think of a way to appease herter.
Kendall received a call from her best friend, Amelia Taylor, right when the former had just got home.
"Kendall, I am back! I just got out of the ne. Come pick me up. I bought you tons of good food and
fun stuff!"
Amelia had gone on a trip and with every new ce that she went, she made sure she bought local
specialties for her glutton of a friend.
"Finally gracing the hometown with your presence, huh?" Kendall sarcastically ranted. "You heartless
woman! You didn''t even tell me before you went on a vacation. I would have immediately followed you
along if you had informed me."
Upon hearing that, Amelia let out a giggle and teased her friend, "Am I the heartless one or are you?
You have given your whole heart to Jackson. The only person you would go on a trip with is him. You
wouldn''t have gone with me. You little brat, you seem to value your love life over our friendship! That
Jackson guy must have drugged you or something for you to go crazy over him like this."
It was probably due to the fact that Amelia was viewing the whole rtionship objectively as a third
party that she always had a feeling that Jackson wasn''t true to Kendall. Amelia had privately brought
this up to Kendall before, but Kendall had been dismissive of her warning then.
"I have snapped out of it. Wait for me at the airport. I will be there in a jiffy."
"Fine," Amelia said with a smile, "I will be waiting for you here. Drive carefully, okay? No speeding. I am
not in a rush anyway. I can have something to eat while I wait for you."
"Alright, Rest assured. I have godly driving skills."
Amelia only replied to her self-praise with silence.
Just as Kendall said, her driving skills were godly indeed. Sitting in her car during an emergency felt
like it was a ride on a ne instead. It was an experience frightening enough to make one''s heart jump
out of their chest.
After the call with her best friend, Kendallpletely forgot about the warning Dn had given her as
she went into the vi and took the car keys from Charlotte. She then drove her mother''s BMW and
happily headed to the airport to pick Amelia up.
Right when Kendall left the building, she came across Kelly, who happened to be walking back.
"Where are you going, Kendall?"
"Mind your own business."
That was all Kendall said in reply before she stepped on the gas. The vehicle was out of view within a
split second, leaving Kelly behind by herself.
There were many intersections at the roads around the vi where cars would always appear out of
nowhere.
Driving fast on the roads here could easily result in an ident.
So was the case with Kendall.
Seeing that there was no other car ahead of her while she was on the road, she started speeding up,
prompted by the thrill of driving fast cars.
Even when she reached a curve, all she did was slightly decrease her speed.
She definitely did not expect to thene head-to head with not one, but a motorcade when she
turned into the corner. Her immediately stepping on her brakes did nothing to stop the car as she had
been driving at a high speed.
Panicked, she quickly turned the steering wheel. Even though she managed to evade the cars that
came from the opposite direction, she had in turn knocked her mother''s car against an afforestation
tree by the side of the road.There was a loud noise when the car met the tree.
Bang!
Oh no! I wrecked Mommy''s car!
After the initial shock, she hurriedly pushed open the car door and got out to check the severity of the
car damage.
The iing cars hade to a stop as well.
Ronnie, who was in one of the cars, turned his head and alerted Dn, "It''s Young Mistress Kendall,
Young Master Dn."
Dn had actually recognized her when she panickedly avoided the cars and ended up hitting the tree.
He had made it clear that she wasn''t allowed to drive by herself anymore. She was supposed to inform
Amos if she wanted to go anywhere, and Amos would arrange a ride for her.
s, his words had gone in one ear and out the other.
Not only did she seem to make it a point to drive whenever she returned to the Parker Residence, she
also made sure to drive really fast every time!
"I am getting out of the car," Dn hissed, in which Ronnie immediately acted upon.
He was also praying for Kendall at the same time.
He remembered how Dn had coincidentally seen Kendall speedingst time. Dn had instructed
his men to remove the tyres of her car then. She was still speeding now like she used to, and not only
that, she had almost hit one of their cars…
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
Young Mistress Kendall probably won''t have the chance toy her hands on another steering wheel
after this! Ronnie sighed to himself.
The bumper of Charlotte''s BMW had been terribly damaged. Looking at the mess she had made,
Kendall couldn''t help but feel mortified.
Who would have expected the cars to suddenly appear from the opposite direction?!
She continued to look at the bumper in a daze for one whole minute before she finally turned her head
toward the row of cars.
Sh*t! It''s Dn! Her face swiftly turned pale when she recognized him. She couldn''t understand how
her luck could be so rotten that he always caught her when she was speeding. He had gotten rid of her
wheels thest time she sped, even though nothing had happened. But now that she had ended up in
an ident… Will he dismantle my whole car this time?
As she looked at Dn being escorted toward her by Ronnie, she began to brainstorm for a way she
could get herself out of this ''crisis''.
"Haha! What a coincidence, Dn!" sheughed out loud, and even started waving like she was giving
him a casual greeting.
Dn and his bodyguards were all rendered speechless then.
"Why are you here, Dn? Did youe for me? Look! Aren''t I super gentle and considerate to you? I
came halfway to wee you after I found out that you would being for me."
Kendall was about two meters from Dn when he raised his hand, motioning for Ronnie to stop.
He then continued to look at his wife putting up an act as he sat in his wheelchair, his gaze cold.
"Um… I didn''t have time to tell Mr. Miller to prepare a ride for me because of an emergency situation.
And since I was at the Parker Residence and Mr. Miller is at the Coleman Mansion, I figured it would be
toote by the time he got here. That was why I borrowed my mother''s car…" The more she spoke, the
smaller her voice got from embarrassment.
Color had rushed into her cheeks, making her originally pale face red.
Dn suddenly spoke up then. "Are you done talking?"
"I am," she gulped while nodding.
"Why are you blushing?"
Hearing that, Kendall brought her hand up to rub on her cheeks, and she bashfully babbled, "Um… It is
because of the hot weather! Right. It is a hot day today. It is so warm my face is flushed."
Dn''s face, on the other hand, went ck.
Her talent for spewing nonsense really knocked his socks off!
"Come here!" he coldly demanded, instantly giving her goosebumps all over.
Is he going to knock me on my head again?
Knowing that admitting to it was the best thing she could do now, Kendall quickly lowered her head and
wailed, "I know that it is my fault, Dn. I promise to never drive fast! C-Can you please not be mad at
me anymore?"
There wasn''t a trace of emotion on Dn''s face, but his already-cold voice only went up another notch.
"Kendall Parker, you bettere here right this instant. Don''t make me repeat myself again!"
She started to panic as she looked at him gingerly, and she shuffled toward him slowly, as if she had
turned into a snail.
