Chapter 181


    Leonel merely responded with a faint smile when Krystal greeted him. Then, he turned to Kendall and


    spoke to her. "Fishing isn''t just about patience, Kendall. It''s also about silence. You don''t want to chase


    the fishes away."


    "That''s true," Kendall said with a smile. "I''ll have to work hard to improve my skills now, Miss Caddel,"


    she said apologetically. In other words, she was telling Krystal not to disturb her. She wasn''t close to


    Krystal, after all. In her past life, she didn''t even know how Krystal looked. But, after getting a second


    chance in life, there were a lot of people and things that changed because of her.


    "Good luck with that," Krystal replied, smiling before turning to look at Jackson. "Let''s fish here too,


    Jackson. We''d have a friend around since Miss Parker is also here."


    Kendall secretly rolled her eyes when she heard the other woman''s words. Krystal was clearly doing


    this intentionally. Does she think that I still care about Jackson? Can''t she tell that Jackson''s nervous


    and terrified now? He''s probably afraid after I beat him up. Hah!


    Kendall thought that Jackson would reject Krystal''s idea since he was scared of Kendall. But, to


    Kendall''s surprise, he responded to Krystal in a gentle tone. "You can make the decision, Krystal. I''ll go


    along with whatever you say," he uttered.


    Krystal wore a smug look on her face as she nced at Kendall, which rendered her speechless. Both


    of them are so in love now. Jackson sure has some skills in chasing after girls, huh. However, when


    Kendall thought about how she had lost her sense of self while going after this man and ended up in a


    terrible situation after that, she had to admit that Jackson had indeed been a physically attractive man.


    Many of Krystal''s traits were no match for Jackson, and Jackson had even molested her in the past.


    Although they hadn''t gone all the way, that was only because someone else hade to them just in


    time. Otherwise… Krystal would have made a decision before Jackson offered to take responsibility for


    her. Furthermore, he had ruined her reputation as she wouldn''t have been able to find a husband if she


    didn''t get married to Jackson.


    Back then, Jackson had been under the influence of substances, so he wasn''t actually horny for her.


    However, Krystal would have no reason to reject him if he was willing to take responsibility for her. She


    wouldn''t get a chance to marry a man like Jackson otherwise. Kendall gazed at Jackson to find him


    looking at Krystal attentively. He looked extremely fond of her—it seemed like he was really in love with


    her. Kendall couldn''t help but sigh on behalf of Kelly.


    Is Kelly fated to be Jackson''s mistress forever? Kendall thought. "What are you looking at, Miss


    Parker?" Krystal didn''t hesitate to speak up when she saw Kendall checking Jackson out. "I know you


    used to love Jackson, Miss Parker. I know you wanted to marry him. But he''s my fiancé now, and our


    families are already preparing for the marriage. I''m sure you''ll receive an invitation soon. I would


    appreciate it if you could control yourself a little, Miss Parker."


    "If you don''t want me to stare at your man, you should hide him away, Miss Caddel. Don''t let him show


    up before me," Kendall replied.


    Krystal nearly choked. "Also, whatever you''re talking about is in the past, Miss Caddel. Right now, I


    have no interest in your man, So you don''t have to be worried about me. I wouldn''t go for him even if I


    were looking for a man," Kendall continued.

    Krystal was fuming at the insult, and it took her a while before she could gather her words. "I often hear


    people im that Miss Parker is an uneducated and shameless woman who grew up in the


    countryside, but I never believed it until today. I guess it''s true—you sure are shameless," Krystal spat


    out, furious.


    "Am I shameless for not liking Jackson?" Kendall scoffed in anger. "Do you want us to fight over him?


    I''m sorry. I don''t have the interest and the time now. The amount of love I used to have for him is


    equivalent to the amount of hate I have for him now. Honestly speaking, I was the one who abandoned


    Mr. Whittle. You were the one who picked up the trash I didn''t want, Miss Caddel. So, how dare you


    come to show off in front of me now? What are you so proud of?"


    Krystal was so angry that her face twisted into a nasty look. "Look at her, Jackson. She''s bullying me.


    Help me teach her a lesson, Jackson." Krystal tugged on Jackson''s arm as she begged him to speak


    up for her.


    Leonel, who had just caught another fish, couldn''t help but interrupt their conversation. "Miss Caddel,


    Mr. Whittle, if you guys are not here to fish, I would like you not to stay around and disturb us. I heard


    everything that Miss Parker said to you, Miss Caddel. It doesn''t sound like she bullied you at all."


    "You''re one of Kendall''s men, aren''t you, Mr. Dawson? You sure are impressive, Kendall. I salute your


    ability to seduce men. However, I''d suggest you find a younger guy the next time. Mr. Dawson''s old


    enough to be your dad." Krystal made a sarcastic remark when she saw Leonel speaking up for


    Kendall.


    "Please watch your mouth, Miss Caddel!" Leonel hissed coldly. Kendall, on the other hand, stood and


    strode directly toward Krystal. "W-What are you trying to do?" Krystal was shocked by the other


    woman''s gaze, and stuttered as she spoke. "I''m warning you right now, Kendall. If youy a finger on


    me, I will make sure you suffer. The Zorn Family is rted to the Caddel Family, so they will definitely


    hold this against the Parker Family if you hit me," Krystal hissed.


    "If you don''t want me to stare at your man, you should hide him away, Miss Caddel. Don''t let him show


    up before me," Kendall replied.


    As Kendall stepped forward, Jackson instinctively took a step back in response to Kendall''s nearing


    figure. "Say that again, Krystal!" Kendall''s face was twisted into a look of fury. "Who did I seduce?"


    As Kendall stepped forward, Jackson instinctively took a step back in response to Kendall''s nearing


    figure. "Say that again, Krystal!" Kendall''s face was twisted into a look of fury. "Who did I seduce?"


    Krystal straightened her figure before scoffing at Kendall''s words. "Are you getting mad because what


    I''m saying is the truth? Huh? Aren''t you just using your good looks to seduce all the men you see?


    You''re like public transport—any man can get into you. I heard that you weren''t just going for Master


    Dn but also President Mendelson. Now, you''re here fishing with Mr. Dawson. What''s the status


    between you two? Could it be…"


    Ssh! Water sshed all over the ce the moment Kendall shoved Krystal into the river.


    Unfortunately, both Jackson and Leonel didn''t have the time to react to the situation yet—Krystal was


    already in the water by the time they realized what was happening.


    Kendall pped her hands. "Your mouth stinks, Miss Caddel. However, the water here is really clean,


    so I think it''d be great for you to wash your smelly mouth here." Kendall had no intention of starting a


    fight with Krystal, but Krystal was the one who triggered it.


    Krystal had taken in a man Kendall threw out on the road, yet she had the nerve toe over to unt


    her rtionship. Unfortunately, Kendall didn''t feel like responding to Krystal. So, Krystal tried to bring


    Kendall into the topic no matter what she said, and her words gradually turned so filthy that even


    Kendall couldn''t withstand it. Kendall had never been one to hold grudges as she preferred to instantly


    deal with the person rather than swallow her fury. Meanwhile, Krystal knew how to swim, but she had


    been too shocked by the sudden fall earlier, so she swallowed a few mouthfuls of water. In the end, she


    choked and coughed a few times before she returned to her senses and swam toward the other side of


    the river. Soon enough, she got up tond and red at Kendall.


    "Just you wait, Kendall!" Krystal hissed.


    Kendallughed at her drowned rat look and her petty words. "I''ll be here waiting. You cane and


    take revenge at any time. By the way, just a friendly reminder—I won''t hold back if I hear you defaming


    me again," Kendall said imperiously. Then, she turned to Jackson before returning her focus to Krystal.


    "Look at this man whom I had abandoned. He stood around and zoned out while you fell into the water,


    and he didn''t rush to save you immediately. Your life is over if you marry him, Krystal. Mark my words.


    He''s not a man worth your time and attention."
