Chapter 119
The Mendelsons'' bodyguard was still ringing the doorbell, which left the father and daughter
exchanging nces with each other.
"I''ll open the door, Dad." Kendall turned and walked to the door.
"I''ll take a look too," Adammented as he followed suit.
As soon as the Mendelsons'' bodyguard saw them returning, he stopped ringing the doorbell.
Kendall opened the vi door for him while he brought out a wheelchair. Right then, someone unlocked
the car door for Frank while two other bodyguards stepped forward to assist him in getting out of the
car and into the wheelchair.
Kendall and Adam were dumbfounded at this sight.
Adam recognized Frank but he was perplexed—when did President Mendelson require a wheelchair?
When Dn was wheelchair-bound from his ident, Frank teased him mercilessly. So, look at how
the tables have turned. Dn, do you want footage of this?
Kendall was astute as she understood instantly. Frank was here to get even with her.
Last night, she identally stepped on him with high heels after attempting to dodge from Yasmine''s
evil trap. At that time, he was kind enough to let her off but warned that he would be back if his foot was
swollen the next day.
She peeked at his feet and sure enough, that very foot she stepped onst night was wrapped in white
bandage, which made it look like a burrito, since it was shoeless; it appeared to be quite swollen.
Frank''s bodyguard pushed the wheelchair forward.
"What brings you here today, President Mendelson?" Although Adam was intrigued, he could not
explicitly inquire the reason, therefore, heughed and invited Frank into the vi. Frank sent a harsh
gaze at Kendall, whose guilt could be seen as clear as a crystal and silently without any words, he
instructed the bodyguard to move him into the Parkers'' Vi.
"Dad." Kendall grabbed her father by his arm and whispered, "He came here to get even with me."
Adam was taken aback by her statement that struck him out of the blue. He stared nkly at his
daughter for a long time before asking with a trembling voice, "Kendall… What did you do… to
President Mendelson?"
Yeah, Kendall. What did you do to have President Mendelson knocking on our door?
First and foremost, Adam had always avoided having any interactions with Frank as Adam associated
him with trouble, even much more than Dn. Sure, Dn was cold and brutal, but he was not as
sinister as Frank. Therefore, to learn that Kendall had offended Frank meant that Adam had correctly
guessed that his daughter was the one who caused Frank''s burrito-shaped foot. I knew it’s not all
rainbows and unicorns when a girl masters martial arts!
With quivering hands, he took out his phone and muttered quietly, "Kendall, don’t panic. I’ll immediately
get Master Dn for you. Just stay cool!"
"I''m not panicking, Dad. You''re the one who panicked. I didn’t mean to step on President Mendelson
last night. It''s purely idental." She let out augh as she tried to calm her dad down.
"Was it really idental?"
"I identally stepped on him; it’s really not."
"You mean his foot became this swollen from just a step?"
An embarrassed Kendall then replied, "I was wearing high heels… And I stepped on him really hard.
So, I should be d it''s not bleeding."
Adam remained silent.
I better get my son-inw involved for a rescue mission.
"President Parker."
Frank’s darkened gaze was a contrast to his beautiful almond eyes as he suddenly turned his head to
ask, "Is this how you treat your guest, President Parker? By letting theme and go as they wish?"
As Adam sensed the dissatisfaction from Frank''s questions, Adam hastily tucked his phone into his
back pocket and walked toward Frank after ring at his daughter. The anxiety that Adam felt
resembled the unsettling ocean waves.
"I apologize, President Mendelson."
As Frank and his bodyguards entered the vi, Adam greeted them respectfully.
Meanwhile, Charlotte was carrying out the freshly-made dessert when she noticed Frank’s arrival.
Right then, she was startled as she watched her husband greet him as if Frank was the king. On the
other hand, her daughter—who looked as guilty as a puppy—also entered the house.
Soon enough, Charlotte calmly walked over to present her homemade desserts on the coffee table as
she smilingly told Frank, "These are our homemade treats. Please give it a try."
Kendall also followed suit by quietly keeping the clothes she had purchased for her parents to prepare
a pot of tea.

In the meantime, Frank was staring at the steaming tea and the freshly baked delicacies.
"I apologize for my unexpected visit, Mrs. Parker." As much as Frank was known to be a cold person,
he was still a gentleman.
"It''s okay; you''re not bothering us. It''s a pleasure to have you here, President Mendelson." Adam took
the chance and replied on behalf of his wife.
Kendall then scooted to her mother''s side and whispered, "My dad is indeed a pro in the business
world; he knows exactly what to say and when to say them." He was always trimming his sails; she
saw this as a valuable trait to learn from her dad.
After hearing that, Charlotte squeezed her daughter to remind her that a distinguished guest was still
present.
"What brings you here today, President Mendelson?" Adam obviously knew the reason, but he feigned
ignorance and asked tentatively.
Frank then lifted his gauze-wrapped foot and nced at Kendall before rifying softly, "Ms. Parker
identally trod on my footst night. I informed her that if something goes wrong with my foot, I will
hold her ountable for it."
"It took only a single night for my foot to be swollen and sore. I believe she should be responsible
for this."
Adam looked at his daughter and apologized to Frank on her behalf. "I''m sorry, President Mendelson."
Without missing a beat, Kendall also apologized as she stated responsibly, "President Mendelson, I
stepped on you and I will take full responsibility. If your bone is fractured and requires surgery or
hospitalization, I will pay for all of your medical expenditures. Until your foot heals, you can keep track
of all your nutritional costs, emotionalpensation and missed ie. Just let me know the amount
and I willpensate you, President Mendelson."
Adam coughed lightly when he heard her remarks.
Frank was the Mendelson Family''s leader and he oversaw the entire Mendelson Group. Even if they
were to sell Kendall off, it would not even cover Frank''s daily ie.
Kendall was quick toe back to her senses and realized she could not afford to pay the
compensation.
She nced at Frank while expecting the man who had once given her a daughter to announce his
verdict.
"My family doctor has examined it and discovered no bone injury. After a while, the swelling will go
away." Of course, he would never financially take advantage of her. "I don’t need Ms. Parker to
compensate me. I have only one request, which is for her to take care of me until my swollen foot heals
and I can walk normally," he said truthfully. Now, that’s a twist.
Kendall was rendered speechless.
Once Master Dn finds out about this, I can say goodbye to my life!
"President Mendelson, I''ll hire a nanny to look after you, okay? I… I have to work everyday, so taking
care of you would be difficult for me."
She found a reason.
Knowing the excuse she gave had not fumbled him, Frank asked calmly, "President Parker, Ms. Parker
works for yourpany. I’m sure there won’t be a problem for her to take a month’s break, right?"
"May we speak privately, President Mendelson?" Kendall inquired of Frank before her father could
respond.
Deep in her heart, she knew Frank was pestering her because of the baby. However, the baby was
from the past life and did not exist in this lifetime.
Kendall''s heart wrenched upon the thought of her daughter''s death. She despised herself for being
ipetent in her previous life while also not forgetting to me Frank.
Where was he then when they needed him the mostst life?
In this lifetime, she had never fallen for his trap or had any rtionship with him. What was he
bothering her about then?
Frank stared at her quietly and after a moment of meeting her eyes, he nodded.
