Chapter 192
Brian''s handsome face blushed slightly, but he still nodded. "Benjamin, you long knew I had feelings for
Kelly. It''s just that Kelly doesn''t want to be in a rtionship right now. Besides, you know that her status
in the Parker Family now is a little awkward. The home where she''s lived in for more than twenty years
isn''t her home, and the couple whom she''s called her parents for more than twenty years aren''t her
parents."
As Brian spoke, he felt sorry for his beloved woman''s experience.
"Brian, Kelly is very ambitious. Are you sure you can control her?"
Upon hearing that, Brian replied in displeasure, "Benjamin, I''ll love and pamper only her if she is willing
to marry me. I don''t wish to restrict her, let alone control her. So don''t ever use the word ''control'' on
her!"
After that, Brian added, "Besides, what ambition does she have? She''s just ambitious for the sake of
survival and for Parker Corporation. It''s understandable for her to do so in a world where only the
strong will thrive."
Seeing that Brian was protecting Kelly in such a way, Benjamin said helplessly, "This is your private
matter, so I won''t meddle too much. But I won''t allow Kelly to be a part of Zorn Holdings if she ever gets
married into our family."
If Kelly can betray Parker Corporation for her own sake, she will also betray Zorn Holdings. Worse, she
will even swallow Zorn Holdings bit by bit because of her ambitions.
Even though Benjamin felt that he was very powerful, he still had to keep his guard up against Kelly.
After all, some people can spend ten or twenty years, or even a lifetime, to satisfy their ambitions.
The women in our family are simr to the women in the Coleman Family. They''ll be housewives and
assist the husbands in taking care of the household. They live a splurging yet boring life of nobledies,
and they can''t go out to work.
Brian''s feelings for Kelly are too deep. I''m worried that he''ll be uxorious toward Kelly in the future and
will be so eager to satisfy her that he''ll let her continue to brawl in the business world.
"She''s the sessor of Parker Corporation. Also, she doesn''t have time to work for Zorn Holdings."
Brian was full of confidence in his beloved one. She''ll surely seed.
Moving his lips, Benjamin wanted to say something. However, he eventually said nothing when he saw
Brian''s confident look.

At the same time, Kelly, who had just walked to the parking lot of the Zorn Mansion, saw a caring
in from outside. Soon, the car stopped beside her car.
Out of instinct, Kelly watched as the person in the car got off.
After she saw the person was Jackson, she was stunned for a moment.
But this isn''t Jackson''s car.
Just as she was about to call out Jackson''s name, she saw Jackson hastily walk to the front passenger
seat. Like a gentleman, he opened the door. Then, Kelly saw Jackson helping a woman out of the car.
That woman was none other than Krystal, the person whom Jackson intended to marry.
Kelly knew Jackson''s real purpose of marrying Krystal, and she also told herself not to be jealous.
Jackson is still mine both physically and spiritually.
However, Kelly only felt fuming mad when she truly saw Jackson and Krystal together, and Jackson
was so considerate to Krystal. At that moment, she wished she could charge forward and scratch
Krystal''s face violently. How dare that good-for-nothing sly of a vixen steal my man!
Trying her best to suppress her emotional turmoil, Kelly looked at Jackson and Krystal with a smile.
Naturally, the two of them also spotted her.
"Ms. Parker." Krystal greeted politely. She knew that Kelly was Yasmine''s best friend. In terms of
standings, I, who merely have ties of kinship with the Zorn Family, am not on par with Kelly in front of
Yasmine.
"Miss Caddel, good afternoon."
"Good afternoon." Krystal held Jackson''s hand. Meanwhile, Jackson did not dare to look at Kelly.
Turning his face sideways, he looked at Krystal''s side profile with gentle gazes. His guilty conscience
filled Kelly withplete jealousy.
"Miss Caddel, Mr. Whittle, I heard that you two are about to announce some good news.
Congrattions. I wonder if I''ll have a chance to be invited to your wedding ceremony."
Although Kelly kept a smile on her face, she was madly jealous in her heart.
Instantly, Krystal looked shy. Tilting her head, she looked at Jackson. When she saw Jackson had been
looking at her with a pair of affection and gentle eyes, she immediately fell into his deep gaze. This
man is really handsome!
Later, Krystal said, "Ms. Parker, you and Jackson have known each other for so many years and are
also friends. I''ll definitely invite you to witness our wedding on the day I marry Jackson. If you''re willing,
I would like you to be my bridesmaid too. Jackson, are you willing to let me ask Ms. Parker to be my
bridesmaid?"
With that, Jackson said in a doting manner, "I''m fine as long as Kelly is willing."
In a swift, he nced at Kelly. When he saw she was staring at him, he quickly looked back at Krystal.
Inwardly, Jackson sighed at how unlucky he was on that day. I took Krystal to go fishing, but we met
Kendall. Moreover, Kendall even threw Krystal into the river. Because of that, I had to drive all the way
to buy new clothes for Krystal so she could change into them.
Finally, Krystal lost interest in fishing. So I apanied her to the Zorn Mansion to tell on Kendall. But
who knew I would stumble upon Kelly here.
Thinking of Kelly''s merciless gazes, Jackson felt his heart was clenched tightly.
Jackson was afraid that Kendall could not restrain herself for a moment there and expose his
rtionship with Kelly. If that happened, both Jackson and Whittle Holdings would fall into a doomed
situation.
Despite cursing Krystal as a sly vixen inwardly, she said in an apologetic manner outwardly, "Miss
Caddel, I would love to be your bridesmaid and share your joy too, but unfortunately, I''m too busy with
work. So I''m afraid I won''t be able to make time for it. But don''t worry. I''ll definitely make it to your
wedding ceremony when you two get married."
Upon hearing that, Krystal sighed. "Is that so? It''s really a pity, then."
"Miss Caddel, there''s something I need to attend to, so I''ll go first." Kelly bade the two goodbye, got in
the car, and drove away quickly.
Jackson let out a long sigh after Kelly left.
"Jackson, let''s head in. Yasmine should have woken up from her afternoon nap at this hour. I''ll
apany you into the mansion and apologize to her once more. She''ll forgive you for my sake."
"Okay. Thank you, Krystal."
"What''s with the thanks? Since I have decided to marry you, that makes us husband and wife.
Husband and wife are one. Regardless of what, we will rise and fall together. So how can I watch as
something happens to my husband''s family and ignore it?"
Upon hearing that, Jackson quickly kissed Krystal on her cheeks and pledged, "Krystal, I''ll ask my
parents to visit your family with valuable gifts and discuss with your parents about our wedding when I
get home."
There''s no need to re-prepare the matrimonial gifts. Mom had already prepared a lot of matrimonial
gifts back then in order to p Kendall in the face.
Of course, the amount of the matrimonial gifts that we''ll give the Caddel Family has to be cut half.
In terms of status, Krystal is not on par with the sisters of the Parker Family. Plus, she isn''t my beloved
woman either.
ording to Jackson and Rosemi, the matrimonial gifts should not be too extravagant yet carry a
certain value where the Caddel Family would find no fault with.
Holding hands, the two walked toward the main house affectionately.
As soon as they reached the door of the main house, Jackson''s phone rang. He took out his phone and
looked at the caller ID. It was a call from Kelly.
Like nothing happened, Jackson answered the phone. However, he did not utter a word. Then, he
quickly hung up and said to Krystal with a serious expression, "Krystal, I''m sorry. A temporary
emergency came up in thepany that needed me to go back and deal with it."
