Chapter 186
Ferociously, Kelly threw an angry re at Kendall and said, "How many times have I told you this,
Kendall? Please consider the rest of the family and thepany in everything you do and stop making
enemies for us."
Moreover, the people she offended were the influential people in Orapolis whom others couldn''t wait to
bootlick, but she acted otherwise instead, which made Kelly hopping mad!
"Kelly, I can''t be a sitting duck and allow others to attack me physically and verbally at my door. I''m not
making enemies for us, but it''s the enemy who came here looking for trouble with me."
After giving her a spiteful re, Kelly then left to chase after Yasmin, and after she was gone, Adam
said to Kendall, "Tell me what happened, Kendall. Why were you in a fight with Miss Zorn and even
caused such a hugemotion?"
The wholepany was rmed. Even though Yasmin had always been arrogant and a snob, if
Kendall hadn''t done anything, Yasmin wouldn''t have thrown such a huge fit either.
In the eyes of everyone in thepany, what Kendall was doing right now was nothing more than
creating enemies for the Parker Family, and this would get in the way of her taking charge of Parker
Corporation.
At the moment, they were inclined toward Kelly, and if Kendall took over thepany, they would think
that it was the end of Parker Corporation.
In spite of that, Adam was not a stick in the mud. If his biological daughter was an unmotivated
troublemaker, he would still choose to pass the management of hispany to his adopted daughter
for the future of Parker Corporation. At the most, he would make a n to ensure that his biological
daughter wouldn''t have to worry about living.
Nevertheless, Kendall was already married to Dn, so the rest of her life was not a worry anymore.
Then, he turned to Ronnie and nodded at him. Even though Ronnie was a bodyguard, Adam didn''t
dare to take him lightly because he was one of Dn''s trusted aides.
"Dad, Miss Zorn is deliberately making trouble for me because she''s jealous. She wanted to hit me and
I avoided it, but she wouldn''t give up and kept trying. I didn''t hit her back and just dodged her attacks
so that she couldn''t get me." Helplessly, she added, "I didn''t want to be enemies with her, really. This is
all Master Dn''s fault."
"Kendall!" Sternly, Adam called her name in a warning tone and even red at her before he pointed at
Ronnie with his lips, reminding her not to speak ill of Dn in Ronnie''s presence.
What has this got to do with Master Dn? he wondered and wanted to ask out loud. But when he
recalled Yasmin''s fondness for Dn and her pursuit after him, he understood what she meant and
asked in a whisper, "Did Miss Zorn find out about your rtionship with Master Dn?"
Since Dn hadn''t initiated to disclose his marriage with Kendall, Adam had kept it a secret until now,
and even his adopted daughter didn''t know that Kendall was now the young mistress of the Coleman
Family.
"I don''t know, but she found out that Master Dn asked L.E. Boutique to design forty sets of clothing
for me, and shepletely lost her grip. She came looking for me to demand that I get out of Orapolis
and never to meet Master Dn again, calling me a hillbilly the whole time. Dad, I''d been very patient
with her by not striking back."
Quietly, Adam thought, So that''s what happened. Kendall is not to me at all, then. If it''s anyone''s
fault, then yeah, it''s because Master Dn is too outstanding and attracted too many girls.
Recalling how his wife was always sighing andining aftering back from the Coleman
Family, he felt that his daughter had fallen into the fire pit set up by the Colemans. On the other hand,
as parents, both of them couldn''t do anything about it because their family background wasn''t as strong
as Dn''s.
Slowly, Adam started feeling sorry for his daughter.
Dn''s admirer wasn''t just Yasmin alone. Anyone amongst them was a formidable figure.
Even before they disclosed their rtionship, so much trouble already came knocking on their door just
because Dn was nice to Kendall. Once their rtionship was announced, wouldn''t his admirers
queue up to cause her trouble one after the other?
"Dad, Master Dn is almost going for his lunch break, and I promised to have lunch with him. Look,
Ronnie is already here to pick me up."
It was true that Ronnie was here to pick her up while Dn was still at the office.

After a short moment of silence, Adam said, "Then leave with Ronnie first. I have a lunch appointment
as well, and I should get going now. Should anything else happen in the future, tell it to me first, and
don''t carry everything on your own shoulders. Don''t take the things Kelly said to heart either. She''s just
very concerned about Parker Corporation."
"I won''t fuss over that with her, Dad," Kendall lied.
Even though Kelly was adopted, Kendall knew that Adam still cared about her a lot, and before she had
the ability to take over Parker Corporation, Adam wouldn''t make his real decision.
After picking up Kendall, Ronnie soon left Parker Corporation, and within minutes, Kendall already
reached Coleman Empire Holdings because the distance between both ces were so close.
Every time she stepped into this ce, Kendall felt very uptight, mainly because the atmosphere in this
ce was very oppressive. Despite being a hugepany as well, Parker Corporation didn''t have
such an atmosphere.
And even though it was lunch time now, there wasn''t any movement from anyone.
Kendall reckoned that it was because Dn hadn''t left yet, so the employees didn''t dare to leave
before he did. It might also be possible that since Dn was still working and due to his high efficiency,
his subordinates had to work very hard as well. If they left before Dn, their work would then pile up.
The highly intense work turned the people in Coleman Empire Holdings tense, which in turn resulted in
an uptight atmosphere.
Alone, Kendall knocked on the president''s office door; she wanted Ronnie or Emma toe with her,
but they both turned her down.
"Come in!" Dn''s voice echoed from the inside, and she took a deep breath.
Feeling that she hadn''t made any mistakes and probably wouldn''t get a scolding, she pushed the door
open and walked in.
The second she stepped in, she put on a sweet smile. "Master Dn, I''m here to take you out for
lunch."
"Close the door," he instructed coldly.
Spinning around, she closed the office door while he sat in front of the full windows with his back to her,
and she wondered whether he was looking at the blue skies outside or thinking about stuff.
In addition, she also smelled tobo, and when she got closer, she saw that he was holding a lit
cigarette between the fingers on his right hand.
It had been a while since they got married, and this was the first time she saw him smoking. The whole
time, she thought that he didn''t smoke.
"Master Dn." Pacing in front of him, she then crouched down and gave him a lovely smile as she
said, "It''s lunch time. Let''s go." Then, she reached out and took away the cigarette between his fingers
and added, "Why are you smoking? From now on, smoke less."
"Are you minding my business?"
"Yes, I am minding your business. Well, what can I do since you''re my husband? I care about your
health, so I have to mind your business." Her answer was very pragmatic, but at the same time, very
bossy.
Until she put out the cigarette and threw it away before returning back to him, he watched her quietly
for a while and gestured for her to bend down.
"Do you want to tell me a secret?"
She did as she was told, then he flicked her forehead very hard with his fingers.
"Ouch! You''re flicking my forehead again, Master Dn! I knew that there could be nothing good when
you tell me to bend down."
Quickly, she straightened herself and rubbed the spot he had hit, looking at him aggrievedly. The sight
of her like this softened Dn''s heart, and he sighed secretly before pulling her into a seat on hisp
and hugging her.
