Chapter 128


    Meanwhile, Jackson clutched at his reddened cheek—from the p—and stammered his words


    without actually saying anything conclusive.


    "You did this on your own ord, right? The Zorns have security cameras all over the ce, and the


    moment you spiked that drink, you must have thought that no one saw it, but you didn''t manage to hide


    your actions from the Zorns'' state-of-the-art security cameras that can catch footage from every angle.


    Your actions were captured on the footage. You wanted to drug Kendall, but she was lucky enough to


    dodge it. You ended up getting a taste of your own medicine."


    "He has offended the Zorn family and, at the same time, offended the Caddel family as well. How are


    you going to deal with the situation with the Caddels? Miss Caddel was humiliated in public when


    you… After getting discharged from the hospital, you and Mom should get ready to go to the Caddels''


    house to apologize and ask for Miss Caddel''s hand in marriage."


    The Caddels and the Zorns were distantly rted by marriage, so the only solution right now was to get


    Jackson to take responsibility for Krystal and marry her. Once their families formed a marriage alliance,


    perhaps the Zorns would stop targeting the Whittles by taking into ount the Caddels and the


    Whittles'' rtionship.


    "Tom, the Caddel Family isn''t a good match for our family. I''ve told Kelly that the position of our


    daughter-inw belongs to her solely."


    Rosemi eximed displeasedly, "I can go and apologize, but I won''t agree to ask for her hand in


    marriage."


    "Shut your mouth!"


    Tom growled, "You''re not allowed to meddle in Jackson''s marriage. If you hadn''t screwed things up,


    Adam and his wife would not have grown distant from us. Even if you disliked Kendall, you shouldn''t


    have done all that. After all, she is the biological daughter of the Parkers!"


    At that moment, Tom was enraged with this wife of his. She''s always causing trouble for me! She


    shouldn''t attempt to set others up if she''s not cunning enough to do that!


    "Kelly''s out of the question. If she really wanted to marry Jackson, why did the two of them keep their


    rtionship out of the public eye? It''s not as if they just knew each other! They''ve known each other for


    years! Brian Zorn has been deeply infatuated with her for ages. Do you think she would give up Brian


    Zorn for your son?"


    Rosemi was speechless at that.


    Meanwhile, Jackson spoke up, "Dad, I love Kelly but I want to marry Kendall."


    "You''re wishful! Right now, you no longer have the right to marry Kendall. After doing such a despicable


    thing, you have no other option but to marry Miss Caddel. Jackson, if you don''t want ourpany to


    end up going bust, you must follow my instructions. Although the Caddels aren''tparable to our


    family, they are still the Zorns'' rtives."


    "Dad, Kelly said that she would help me plead for forgiveness from Miss Zorn. I trust that Kelly would


    definitely do as she said based on our rtionship."


    "It''s pointless. The only way for you to get over this crisis safely is to marry Miss Caddel. Otherwise, the


    entire Whittle Holdings will perish because of you."


    President Whittle advised patiently, "Jackson, I know that Kelly''s the woman you truly love, but that


    woman isn''t someone you can handle. You should just give up. You wanted to marry Kendall to gain


    Parker Corporation, but do you think that Adam Parker is a dummy? Do you really think that by


    marrying his daughter, you would be able to gain control of Parker Corporation?"


    "Miss Caddel''s a nice girl. You''ve done such a despicable thing to her, so be a man and take


    responsibility for your actions. Once we ovee our crisis, we can slowly build up our influence and


    grow to be a worthy opponent of Coleman Empire Holdings. Subsequently, you''ll be the


    sessor to ourpany. By then, you would be able to easily gain any woman that you want. It''s not


    the time for all this lovey-dovey stuff right now. Don''t lose your main target for such a minor thing."


    At that point, Jackson lowered his head and considered Tom''s words. Subsequently, he made his


    choice after lifting his head.


    "Dad, I''ll do as you say."


    Kelly refused to reveal their rtionship in public, and in order to achieve her goal, he had to sacrifice


    himself and be entangled with Kendall. She even wanted to make him marry Kendall. She was


    indeed a schemeful woman. Besides, Kelly had a better option and Brian Zorn was definitely a better


    match than he was. As such, Jackson agreed to follow his father''s arrangements. The Parker sisters….


    At that moment, there was a sh of ruthlessness in Jackson''s eyes. I''ll target Kelly first and get her


    sorted. After all, she does have feelings for me. It would be quite easy for him to get his way with Kelly.


    …


    There was a creek near the Coleman Mansion, and the water was quite clear with plenty of fish there.


    Dn usually fished here.


    Each time he caught a fish, Kendall would sort it out right away by killing and cleaning it. After that, she


    ced the fish on a te by the side. Once she had umted a significant number of fish, she


    started to grill them.


    The smell of grilled fish wafted quite far, and it triggered the appetites of plenty of people.


    "Dn, I heard that you guys were grilling fish here. I''ve brought some other ingredients to join you


    too." This was Alice''s excuse, and she did bring along plenty of ingredients.


    "Dn, why didn''t you ask me to join you guys? You shouldn''t be so selfish." This was Yoseph''s


    excuse. He hadn''t brought any ingredients with him, but he had brought along a fishing rod to fish with


    Dn.


    "From the smell of the grilled fish, it''s obvious that Miss Parker has great culinary skills. Am I right?"


    Yoseph was in charge of Dynasty Hotel, so he had extensive knowledge of food. From the smell of the


    fish, he clearly realized that Kendall must be a great cook.


    Kendall ced a skewer of grilled fish on a little te and handed it to Dn. As soon as she heard


    Yoseph''s words, she smiled and asked, "You''ve tried my cooking before, right? I made you something


    simple."


    Meanwhile, Yoseph was at a loss for words.


    "Dn, you''ve worked hard. This is the first skewer that I''ve prepared, so it''s for you. Try it and let me


    know how it tastes."


    Kendall handed the little te to Dn.


    As for Dn, he nced at the skewer in front of him. The fish in the creek were not exactly big-sized


    ones, so Kendall could only make them into skewers.


    It looked like it was grilled to perfection, and it smelled very nice too. However, the taste of it was


    unknown.


    Dn reached out to take the skewer in his hand, and under Kendall''s expectant look, he tried one. It


    tasted great, so he took another one.


    "Dn, how does it taste?"


    "It''s mediocre. It''s just edible." Dn calmly responded, "Since you''re quite picky, you shouldn''t have


    this. What would you like to eat? Ally has brought plenty of ingredients along, so you should grill them


    yourself."


    Meanwhile, Yoseph replied, "Dn, are you trying to tell us that you want all of the grilled fish for


    yourself? It smells so good, so how can it possibly be just edible? You''re too mean. Miss Parker would


    be so sad to hear that."


    At that moment, Kendall smiled, "Young Master Yoseph, I''ll grill the fish that you''ve caught too."


    Suddenly, Dn paused in his action of eating, and he lifted his head to look at Kendall with his dark


    eyes. He spoke in a low voice, "He''s a world-ss chef, so you shouldn''t unt your skills in front of


    him."


    "Besides, do you think that the fish I caught are insufficient, so you don''t have much to grill?"


    Meanwhile, Kendall blinked her eyes as she pondered, Why does Dn seem jealous? He doesn''t


    want me to grill the fish that Yoseph caught, and Yoseph isn''t allowed to taste the fish that I grilled


    either.


    "Yes, he''s right. I''ll do it myself. Miss Parker, you should just focus on grilling the fish caught by Dn."


    Yoseph was quite perceptive, and he quickly expressed his opinion to save himself.


    He was quite worried that if he took too long to voice out, Dn would immediately stuff some freshly-


    caught fish into his mouth as punishment.

    "Sure. Dn, there''s a fish on your line! Hurry!"


    Suddenly, Kendall yelled in surprise.


    In response, Dn pushed the half-eaten skewer into her hand and yanked his fishing rod upward.


    Indeed, there was a fish on the line.


    "This fish is much bigger than the others from earlier. Dn, you''ve done such a good job!"


    Kendall praised the prideful and selfish man as she nibbled on Dn''s half-eaten fish.


    One minuteter, Dn recalled that he hadn''t finished his skewer, so he turned to look at his wife, but


    he saw her smacking her lips and there was an unsatisfied expression on her face.


    At that point, he pursed his lips and silently said to himself, She''s such a glutton! I was halfway eating


    that and yet she finished it… He couldn''t contain the smile on his face as he chuckled in a low voice.
