Chapter 231
"Good that you know it. Don''t think of leaving me. Even if you run away to the ends of the earth, I can
catch you."
"I''m not gonna leave you." Kendall snuggled up to him while hankering for the warmth of his embrace.
"Kendall, where is your jewelry? Why aren''t you wearing any?"
Kendall felt around her neck before looking at her wrists. Then, she looked up and replied, "My
husband never gives me jewelry as presents, so I can only go without it."
Dn was rendered speechless. "What about the few gold jewelry sets?" He had made an excuse to
give her a few jewelry sets as presents.
"I''m keeping them. Once they gain in value, I''ll sell them to make a fortune."

Dn didn''t know whether he shouldpliment her for knowing how to make money or chiding her
for abusing his kindness.
"I was joking. I don''t like to wear those things, but I like to collect them."
"What else do you like besides eating?"
"Money."
Dn couldn''t help but chuckle. What a realistic little girl. She likes money, huh? Well, that''s easy. I
don''t have much of anything, but what I do have the most is none other than money. I''ll cover her bed
with cash tonight so that she can sleep on piles of cash.
With that, the argument between the young couple ended almost as soon as it happened. Soon after
that, they were lovey-dovey again.
Of course, Kendall was alreadyte when she returned to her office. As she trotted out of the elevator
in a hurry while carrying her handbag, she nearly bumped into Kelly by ident.
"You''rete, Kendall!" Kelly looked frosty and expressionless. "ording to thepany''s rules, you''re
not allowed to be more than three minuteste for work, but you''rete for half an hour today! Your
bonus for this month is deducted. If you''rete for work again, you don''t have toe to work
anymore. Just go back and be a housewife!" she said. Then, she walked past Kendall without waiting
for thetter''s reply.
Kendall didn''t argue with Kelly this time. After all, she was in the wrong since she waste for work
today without asking for leave of absence. Just as she wanted to go back to Jessie''s office, she
suddenly heard Kelly whisper, "What brings you here, Miss Caddel?"
Miss Caddel? Is it Krystal? Kelly sounds like she''s feeling guilty. Is she worried that Krystal has learned
of her scandalous affair with Jackson and is here to settle the score with her? Kendall sneered
inwardly. Those with a guilty conscience would feel guilty indeed. It''s a no-brainer that there''s no way
Krystal would learn about their love affair so soon.
Krystal was rather polite to Kelly. "Miss Kelly, I''m here to talk to Kendall."
Kelly stopped her, though. "Oh, you wanna talk to her? Hold on a moment, please. This is the top floor,
which isn''t the right ce to entertain you. Please wait here for a moment while I help you call her over.
You two may have a nice chat in the VIP room on the first floor." I''ve got to criticize the two
receptionistster. How could they let anyonee up here?
Kendall was only an assistant who didn''t even have her own office in thepany. Therefore, those
who came for her shouldn''t have been allowed toe upstairs; they were supposed to wait for her on
the first floor instead. This floor was where the president worked and where the high-level meetings
were held. Only VIPs were allowed here.
Krystal was displeased somewhat, but she put up with it nheless.
Kelly looked back and called Kendall. "Kendall, Miss Caddel is asking for you. Take her to the VIP room
on the first floor," she said in a peremptory tone while ordering Kendall to take Krystal away.
Wanting to know why Krystal woulde to her, Kendall didn''t mind Kelly''s attitude. She came over
and said to Krystal, "Miss Caddel, what can I do for you?"
Krystal looked at Kendall with smugness and sympathy instead of jealousy. She was the only person
who reacted differently after learning of Kendall''s marriage to Dn. "Should I call you Miss Kendall or
Young Mistress Kendall?" she asked sarcastically while stressing the words "Young Mistress Kendall."
Kendall didn''t mind it, actually. "Just call me whatever you want, Miss Caddel. It''s just a form of
address."
Krystal smiled. "I''d prefer to call you Miss Kendall. Could you give me half an hour of your time?"
"Miss Caddel, I''m still working. If you have something to talk to me about, please make it brief," Kendall
replied impassively. "I can only give you no more than a few minutes." I still have to sign the contract
with Mr. Dawson. I wonder if he''s sobered up.
Leonel had sobered up indeed. As soon as he became sober, the news circting among the senior
executives of Prestige Electronics made his blood boil with fright, causing him to nearly freeze to death.
Kendall, whom he had wanted to have his way with, became Dn''s legal wife overnight! No, not
overnight. They registered their marriage long ago.
He broke out in a cold sweat. Luckily, his heart was strong enough, or he''d have suffered a heart attack
and died of fright at a young age. No wonder when I had dinner with her for the first time, President
Coleman showed up all of a sudden, saying he was passing by… He had thought he was very lucky to
be able to have dinner with Dn at the time. Now that he thought about it, Dn must''ve been there
for Kendall''s sake.
Recalling what he had done, he kept breaking out in a cold sweat, so much so that he used up a
packet of tissue to wipe his sweat away. Does President Coleman know that I''ve touched her hand?
Will he chop my hand off? I tried to have my way with the president''s wife. Will President Coleman
cashier me and then make me unable to stay in thepany so that I can only go home?
In the end, after taking a cold shower to calm down, he hurriedly told his secretary to prepare the
contract with Parker Corporation and have the contract delivered to him. He''d take the contract to
Parker Corporationter to ask for Kendall''s signature. Luckily, I don''t have a habit of imposing myself
on people, or I''d have died without knowing why.
Krystal turned to look at Kelly, who said impassively, "Kendall, take Miss Caddel downstairs first." With
that, she held her head high and entered the elevator.
Kendall also worried that there''d be bad consequences if they were to talk outside the elevator. After
all, manypany executives woulde to do business with Adam. After her identity as the Young
Mistress of the Coleman Family was exposed, it''d surely bring many business partners for the Parker
Corporation. Such was reality, and this showed that Dn was so influential that even she bathed in his
reflected glory.
Kendall took Krystal downstairs to the first floor. However, instead of going to the VIP room, they found
a bench in the garden in front of the office building and sat down. "Miss Caddel, what brings you here
today?"
Krystal stood up in front of Kendall while looking her up and down without restraint. "What a shame,"
shemented with sympathy, but her lips curved up as she couldn''t hide her gloating pleasure at all.
"You''re young and beautiful with a nice figure, and besides, you''re the daughter of the Parker Family. If
you''re a capable woman, you''ll be ruling the roost in thispany, but you''re forced to live like a widow
for the rest of your life. Kendall, I was once jealous of the past between you and Jackson, but now I''m
not envious anymore. In fact, I pity you. It''s okay, though. With money, power, and social standing, you
can live a free and easy life while keeping a dozen toy boys in secret."
Kendall stood up and leaned over, forcing Krystal to lean backward.
"Kendall, what are you doing?"
