Chapter 340


    Kendall wasn''t in a hurry to ask her friend what had happened. She allowed Amelia to take her time


    eating and drinking, lest thetter choked.


    When Kendall noticed that scroll Amelia had brought in earlier, she picked it up from the table.


    After unfurling the scroll and seeing its contents, Kendall was stunned.


    It was her baby!


    "Kendall." Amelia drank a cup of water and ate some desserts, relieving her hunger a little.


    When she saw Kendall staring dumbfoundedly at the picture, she exined, "This was drawn by that


    pervert, Frank. This child looks a lot like you—no, that pervert drew it based on your looks. He even


    imed that this is the daughter you have with him! It shocked me terribly. When I asked him when he


    had a child with you, he said the baby wasn''t born yet. He even said that I''m your best friend, so I can


    be the child''s godmother. Then, he just gave me this picture."


    She added, "Kendall, Frank must be trying to snatch you from Dn because of your rtionship with


    him. That jerk and pervert! I never would''ve guessed that the head of the Mendelson Family would be


    out of his mind! Also, you beat him up, didn''t you? He had bruises all over his body, and he even asked


    me to apply ointment on him. He even wanted me to take care of him for the time being because I''m


    your friend. You were the one who beat him up, so I''ll have topensate in your stead. It was such an


    effective threat that I was terribly shocked, even until now."


    After Kendall listened to her friend''s exnation, she mmed the table and stood up right away,


    determined to teach Frank a lesson.


    Amelia grabbed her, and after swallowing the dessert in her mouth with great difficulty, she said,


    "Kendall, don''t go to him. If you do, you''ll be falling into his trap. He treated me like this so that you''d be


    forced to go and teach him a lesson. If you go, he''ll definitely… He''ll cause Dn to misunderstand


    things between you and him. Even if Dn believes you, do you think the other members of the


    Coleman Family will believe you?"


    Kendall said in fury, "That crazy maniac! I should''ve beaten him up until he lost every single tooth and


    had to be hospitalized!"


    "Calm down, Kendall." Amelia lightly patted Kendall on the chest. "Don''t get angry. Since we know of


    his plots, we just have to escape his traps. He''s doing everything he can in order to fight Dn."


    Before this, Frank couldn''t grasp Dn''s weakness; now that Dn was dating Kendall, she would be


    Dn''s weak spot.


    Frank was a scheming man, so he wouldn''t let this chance slip by. Naturally, he held onto Dn''s


    weakness in a death grip and beganunching attacks on the man. As long as he could hurt Dn,


    Frank would be overjoyed.


    "Amy, he''s too cunning and shameless. He could''ve taken everything up with me, but he used you to


    threaten me instead! That jerk!"


    Kendall was furious, and at the same time, she felt guilty for getting her best friend involved.


    Amelia grabbed an apple and began munching on it. As she ate, she analyzed, "I''m fine, so don''t worry


    about me. The most he can do to me is to treat me like a servant and get me to ve away for some


    time. As long as you don''t fall into his pit, he''ll realize that he can''t threaten you through me. He''ll let me


    go soon enough."


    Kendall knew her friend was right. However, her friend was suffering because of her. Kendall felt that


    she would be owing her friend too much if she didn''t do anything about it.


    Yet, if she really went to Frank, as per Amelia''s words, Frank might do something to her. Frank had


    said before that he''ll get Kendall to divorce Dn and marry him.


    He would do anything to achieve his goals, so he might actually force himself on her, then take this


    opportunity to separate her from Dn. It would hurt Dn greatly, and his own wishes woulde


    true.


    Kendall remembered how Frank had taken advantage of her while sober in her past life, but he


    abandoned her in the end, causing the baby to fall to her death. Kendall was immediately consumed by


    a deep hatred toward Frank.


    "Amy…"


    "Kendall, you don''t have to feel bad about me. We''re best friends. I can help you evade danger while


    keeping myself safe. I won''t me you."


    Frank would only be asking her to do his bidding, so she just had to persevere before it became history.


    "Kendall, we have to stay strong. You can only save me by hardening your heart and leaving me


    alone."


    Kendall took Amelia''s hand, saying both in regret and gratitude, "Amy, I''m so sorry for getting you


    involved in this. Thank you so much for everything you''ve done for me."


    This friend of hers was worth the friendship.


    "No need for thanks. We''re friends, so it''s no big deal. You don''t have to keep thanking me."


    Amelia took another bite of the apple. After swallowing it, she grinned and said, "If you really want to


    thank me, get Dn to lend you someone and bring them along when we meet. That''ll be enough."


    Ronnie? Kendall asked her straight away, "Amy, have you fallen for Ronnie?"


    Amelia wasn''t embarrassed as she nodded and said, "I am interested in him, and perhaps I really have


    fallen for him. I don''t know how things will y out in the future, though."


    This was her first time being interested in a man.


    "Amy, Ronnie is—"

    "Dn''s bodyguard, I know. I won''tin about his line of work. As long as it''s legal, no matter what


    profession it may be, I won''t everin about it. Moreover, Dn''s bodyguards are noughing


    matter either. My parents aren''t very particr about social status, so they probably won''t be against


    the idea."


    Amelia thought that her friend was worried that Ronnie wouldn''t be a great match for her in social


    terms.


    She definitely wouldn''t be disappointed that Ronnie was only a bodyguard of Dn''s.


    All professions should be treated with the same respect, after all.


    "Amy, I''m not talking about social status. When you asked Dn and I to a mealst time, I more or


    less guessed the truth. I asked Dn about it before, and he said that even though Ronnie is his


    bodyguard, he''s actually from a good background. Ronnie decided to be Dn''s bodyguard because


    he''s skilled in fighting, and he likes being a bodyguard. Also, Dn said that he had saved Ronnie''s life


    before, so Ronnie became his bodyguard to repay his kindness."


    Hearing that, Amelia''s eyes lit up as she smiled and said, "I never thought the man I''m interested in is


    so mysterious. That''s even better. If I really fall in love with him, I won''t have to worry about my parents


    protesting our rtionship. Kendall, can you help me ask more about him? I want to know more about


    Ronnie''s family situation. For starters, what''s his real name?"


    Kendall hadn''t asked about Ronnie''s real name. "Do you really intend to take things further with


    Ronnie?"


    "I am very interested in him right now. When we meet more often and spend more time with each other,


    I''ll see how he thinks of me. If he''s also interested, then I''ll take things further with him. If he doesn''t


    feel anything toward me, I''ll just forget about it. I''ll treat him as a prettyndscape painting hanging on


    the wall, and I can admire him when I miss him."


    Amelia wanted her rtionships to be reciprocal instead of one-sided. If Ronnie didn''t feel anything


    special toward her, she wouldn''t pester him even if she really liked him.


    She was willing to take it up, so simrly, she could let it go.


    Seeing her friend''s earnest look, Kendall said, "I''ll ask in more detail for you. When we meet up in the


    future, I''ll always bring Ronnie along so that you two can have more time together. Let''s see if there''s


    any chemistry between you."
