Chapter 127


    "Kelly."


    Yasmine asked, "You''ve always imed that Kendall is not as innocent as she appears to be and that


    she''s quite cunning and calctive. She always sets you up, and your adoptive parents end up


    misinterpreting you. As such, they treated you worse than before. But then, somehow, I seem to find


    that your words aren’t exactly true."


    She got up and walked to stand in front of Kelly before bending over as she reached out to lift the


    Cartier ne that Kelly was wearing.

    "Why would Mrs. Parker buy such a pretty ne for you if she actually treated you badly? Your


    ne is worth way more than the dress and jewelry that Kendall had on yesterday."


    Meanwhile, Kelly responded, "Yasmine, are you doubting me? Do you no longer trust me?"


    "I don’t wish to doubt you either and I would very much want to trust you, but this incident with Jackson


    has suddenly made me realize that I don''t seem to know you at all."


    Yasmine suddenly let go of the ne and sat back down in her spot. She didn’t like to connive to


    get her way because there was no need for her to do so due to her status and background. She could


    easily get anything she wanted. Nheless, she wasn’t a clueless person either.


    Kelly exined, "Jackson didn''t tell me who set him up, so I jumped to my own conclusion. After all,


    Kendall was the one who yearned so badly to marry Jackson."


    "Yasmine, don''t you think that it''s too much of a coincidence? Jackson tried to sabotage Kendall and


    ended up having a taste of his own medicine. You went to settle the score with Kendall, and yet,


    coincidentally, Master Dn asked his men to send the videos to Kendall so that she could prove her


    innocence. Master Dn seems to be quite protective of her, huh?"


    Master Dn had an issue of performing sexually, but even then, if he showed preferential treatment


    for any other woman, Yasmine would still be offended and dislike that woman.


    Yasmine continued, "Kendall is now working as Master Dn’s caregiver for free. Obviously, the others''


    treatment of her is a reflection of their respect for Master Dn, so naturally, he would be protective of


    his people unless Kendall was actually at fault here."


    "Yasmine, do you actually believe that Master Dn only thinks of her as a caregiver?"


    Yasmine looked at Kelly and asked, "Otherwise, what else could it be? Master Dn’s crippled and he


    needs help to get about in his daily life. Besides, he is unable to perform sexually, so even if he harbors


    any illicit thoughts against her, he wouldn’t be able to do anything about it."


    That’s true. Master Dn can no longer perform sexually. Who else could he regard Kendall as, other


    than his caregiver?


    Nheless, Kelly had a feeling that Master Dn treated Kendall quite differently and their


    rtionship was quite special to the point where it didn’t seem like merely an employer and an


    employee rtionship.


    "Kelly, be frank with me. Are you in love with Jackson?"


    As Kelly’s best friend, Yasmine could sense that Kelly treated Jackson very well. However, each time


    Yasmine asked Kelly if she was in love with Jackson, she would always deny it vehemently.


    "If you like him, just be frank with Brian and let him know that there is no chance of a rtionship


    between the two of you. Don’t string him along and bench him as you try to make up your mind


    between him and Jackson."


    "Yasmine, I''m not doing that. Brian treats me like a princess and I’m full of gratitude about that. The


    thing is, I''m not looking for a rtionship at the moment. You do realize that I’m not biologically rted


    to the Parker Family, right? My position in thepany is kind of… Well, I have to work harder than


    ever to prevent Kendall from surpassing me or even recing me."


    Kelly denied everything quite vehemently.


    Meanwhile, Yasmine looked at Kelly intently for quite a while before voicing out, "Kendall grew up in the


    countryside, so she would definitely not be able to surpass you in anything. Thepany means a lot


    to your father, and he’s not stupid either, so he wouldn''t hand over thepany to Kendall. Whatever


    happens, Brian will be there to support you as long as you agree to be with him."


    "Actually, Kelly, right now, judging by your family background, you''re no longer good enough for Brian,


    but we''re best friends and Brian''s sincerely in love with you, so I do hope that you guys will end up


    together."


    Kelly was slightly shy as she responded, "Yasmine, I think it would be better for me to focus on my


    rtionship statuster on in my life. I do realize that Brian''s a great guy."


    She didn’t dislike him, but she had fallen for Jackson before him. Jackson was involved in all of the


    despicable plots she had concocted, so they were basically on the same boat. Neither of them could


    abandon the other party. Unless Jackson dies…


    At that moment, Kelly quickly dispelled that notion from her mind, and she was quite shocked by the


    notion that popped into her mind as well.


    "Alright, since you''re not going to consider entering into a rtionship at the moment, Brian will just


    have to continue admiring you silently."


    Yasmine smiled, "Kelly,e on. Let’s go swimming."


    "Yasmine, what about that matter with Jackson?"


    "You’re just here under the entrustment of Mrs. Whittle. Even if you fail in your quest, just let Mrs.


    Whittle know that you''ve tried your best. There is no need for you to take this so seriously. Jackson


    knew that it was my birthday yesterday and yet he chose to take actionst night. He''s clearly being


    disrespectful toward my family. Since that''s the case, there is really nothing much to discuss, right?"


    "Kelly, no matter what happens to Whittle Holdings, they deserve everything. They shouldn''t have


    attempted this wicked deed if they didn''t have the capability to make sure that it would go undetected."


    After Yasmine said that, she stood up and asked, "Do you want to go swimming with me?"


    "Alright, I’ll heed your advice. I won''t bother about Jackson’s case anymore. You''re quite right there. I


    have indeed tried my best, so I''ve fulfilled my duty to Mrs. Whittle."


    Subsequently, the two of them walked out of the house.


    On the surface, they seemed to be as close as before.


    Kelly was quite aware that Yasmine was merely used to having Kelly by her side. However, Yasmine


    was no longer going to trust Kelly as much as before.


    If it wasn''t for Brian’s infatuation with Kelly, Yasmine would most likely have started to keep a distance


    from Kelly.


    Meanwhile, Kendall had been quite lucky to have received help from someone. Not only did Kelly fail in


    setting her up, but Yasmine''s good impression of Kelly was also affected, and furthermore, Rosemi was


    surely going to me Kelly for not putting in the effort to resolve the matter. This time, Kelly had put


    herself in an awkward predicament.


    At that moment, in the hospital, President Whittle walked through the doors, and he strode purposefully


    toward the bed. With a lift of his hand, he instantly pped Jackson on the face.


    Jackson was caught aback by the p from his father.


    "Tom! What are you doing?"


    Rosemi shoved her husband aside and angrily yelled at him, “He was set up by someone else. You


    didn’t evene along to the hospitalst night, and you were not here the entire morning. Now you''ve


    walked in and instantly delivered a p to our son''s face without saying a single word! You''re such an


    irresponsible father!"


    "Your great son here seems to be intent on making ourpany go bust!"


    "First he offended Coleman Empire Holdings, and now he has made an enemy out of Zorn Holdings!


    These twopanies aren’tpanies that we can afford to make enemies out of!"


    Rosemi replied, “Jackson was set up by someone else. Besides, it was all just rumors regarding us


    offending the Colemans, right? Jackson would never dare to offend Dn, despite how disruptive he


    can get. You shouldn''t vent your stress from work at Jackson and me him for all these things.


    Perhaps it’s one of your nephews who did this behind your back."


    The sessor for Whittle Holdings had not been decided yet. As such, Jackson and his cousins had


    been fighting amongst themselves both in public and in private. None of them emerged as the obvious


    winner.


    "Set up by someone? Hah! Ask him then, who was the one that set him up? Who would have the guts


    to set him up at the Zorn Mansion? They would be out of their mind! Your precious son here has made


    another enemy for ourpany before we even settled the current crisis. Jackson, what''s wrong with


    youtely? Every single thing that you''ve done has been detrimental to thepany."


    Tom recalled the security camera footage that Mr. Zorn had shown him, and he was enraged beyond


    words.


    "Jackson doesn''t know who did that to him either. Kelly deduced the situation to me, and we suspect


    that it was that country bumpkin, Kendall. I reckon she has an obvious motive to do this."


    At that point, Tom''s expression was thunderous as he red at Jackson and asked sternly, "Jackson,


    tell me! Who was the one that set you up?!"
