Chapter 394
Kelly burst into tears again. I''m not as straightforward as Kendall is when ites to rtionships.
How could I have chosen to go out with an *sshole instead of such a nice guy?
"I won''t be imposing myself on you, so take your time to think about it."
"Brian, if I abort the baby and stay away from Jackson, will you marry me?" Kelly asked.
Brian fell silent for a moment. Then, he replied, "I''ll try my best to persuade my family to give you a
ce within my family."
Kelly turned her teary face away without saying a word. Brian meant that if the Zorns were to object to
him marrying her, he''d only be able to keep her as a mistress.
Brian pulled the door open and stepped out.
He hadn''t walked far when he ran into Kendall, who came to bring tonic soup to Sally. Dn wasn''t
behind her, but he dared not be careless as Dn had arranged for her to be under close protection.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
He wouldn''t mess with this woman for now. And besides, Benjamin had repeatedly told him and
Yasmine not to cross Kendall or pick on the Parker Corporation for the time being. Therefore, he''d
restrain himself for the sake of his family''s future.
Kendall was with Sally.
The mother and daughter chatted as they came over. Upon seeing Brian, Kendall stopped in her
tracks.
Brian stopped in his tracks, too.
After eyeing him with scrutiny, Kendall said impassively, "One might as well say that you''re devoted to
Kelly, Brian. Unluckily for her, the father of her baby didn''t say anything in her defense at this time.
Instead, he shifted all the me onto her. On the other hand, you could insist oning to visit her
despite the media''s attention."
Brian had also loved Kelly very much in Kendall''s previous life. In fact, it was exactly because of his
presence that Kendall had always believed Kelly''s words and thought that thetter and Jackson were
just friends. Only in her dying moments did she learn that what Kelly wanted wasn''t to be Brian''s wife
but Jackson''s. However, she lost her freedom and was imprisoned in the Whittle Residence after
marrying Jackson early. Therefore, she didn''t know what role Brian had yed in Kelly''s scheme and
how much effort he had put in.
In her current life, however, she finally confronted Kelly head-on, which gave her more opportunities to
come into contact with Brian. As a result, she came to know him better. Not only was he crazy about
Kelly, but he was also a clever and ruthless man. Seems like few are soft-hearted in their circle. They
greet everyone with a smile on their faces, but they''re craftier than one another. As businessmen,
they''re treacherous at heart. Master Dn has always said that I''m not cruel enough.
Brian replied sadly, "I didn''t do enough, nor was I good enough. That''s why Kelly didn''t choose me."
Then, he swore severely, "Jackson''s an *sshole!"
The instant the video was made public, he went home and told Benjamin to end their coboration with
Whittle Holdings. He wanted to make thepany go bankrupt and strip Jackson of everything so that
thetter could no longer ride on Zorn Holdings'' coattails. Yasmine also agreed with him, but Benjamin
said that he had to think about it. It seemed that Benjamin didn''t intend to listen to him. After all, the
coboration with Whittle Holdings would bring Zorn Holdings enormous profits and provide thetter
with one more ally.
As the head of the family, Benjamin wouldn''t act on impulse as he did. He had to take Zorn Holdings''
interests and future into consideration.
Kendall replied, "He''s an *sshole indeed. Brian, you''ve got to avenge Kelly. She and I are the only
children in our family. Now she''s gotten into trouble, but I can''t beat Jackson up even if I want to. I''m
only ady, after all."
If Jackson were to hear this, he''d probably think, Who was it that beat the crap out of me the other
day?
Then, recalling Nelson and Roger, she added with a sigh, "Nelson and Roger wanted to avenge Kelly,
but she told them not to meddle in her affairs. She''s still defending Jackson even now." She let out
another heavy sigh. "Sigh… She and Jackson were taken to the police station at the time because of
the affair. As a result, my dad got pissed off as he had to pick her up at the police station in the middle
of the night. He urged her to stay away from Jackson, but she refused, telling my parents to keep their
noses out of her affairs. Now that she''s pregnant, she insists on giving birth to the baby. Brian, your
sister is best friends with Kelly. Even though she was pissed off yesterday, she wouldn''t forsake Kelly
after years of friendship, right? Please ask her to advise Kelly. How could she keep on being Jackson''s
mistress now that she''s already in such a state?"
Brian''s face darkened even more as he listened to Kendall''s words. She seemed to be defending Kelly,
but in reality, she broke his heart by revealing to him how much Kelly cared about Jackson. This
woman is no longer the country bumpkin who followed Kelly around in silence. "Young Mistress
Coleman, I gotta go first," he said in a whisper. After giving Sally a nod, he brushed past the mother
and daughter and quickly went on ahead.
Kendall sneered.
"Kendall," Sally suddenly asked, "were Kelly and that guy taken to the police station at the time?"
Kendall nodded before giving a brief ount of what had happened.
Sally fell silent for a long time before taking the thermos food jar from Kendall. Forcing a smile with
much difficulty, she said to thetter, "Kendall, Kelly is in a bad mood at this time, so you''d better not go
inside. Just give me the tonic soup. I''ll finish it. Didn''t you say you''re going shopping with your mother-
inwter? I know that she''s very dissatisfied with you, so don''t go back on what you''ve promised her
lest she dislike you even more." She could tell during the meeting with Dn''s parents that Emily
looked down on her family.
"Remember to finish the soup while it''s still hot, Mom. Say, where''s Nell?"
"He went out for some fresh air." Nell was so angry with Kelly that he''d go crazy if he didn''t go out to
get some fresh air, thought Sally. "He''ll be back soon, so don''t worry. And besides, Ms. Morrison is still
here. Just go and spend time with your mother-inw. I''ll only rest assured if you''re doing well." She
couldn''t meddle in her own daughter''s affairs as thetter wouldn''t listen to her advice. On the other
hand, her adopted daughter was willing to listen to her.
At Sally''s insistence, Kendall didn''t enter the ward in the end.
Sally watched Kendall leave for a long time without saying a word. The words Kendall had said to Brian
let her know that Kelly had only herself to me for her current predicament. Even so, Kelly still wanted
Kendall to ask Dn to step in and deal with the matter by warning the media outlets. All of a sudden,
she didn''t want to drag Kendall into this. Kelly is already a grown-up, so she has to learn her lessons
and bear the consequences for whatever she does.
Just then, her cell phone beeped with an iing message.
She took out her cell phone and opened the new message with her free hand. It was a notification
saying that Kendall had wired 50,000 to her via PayPal.
Kendall also sent her a voice message, saying, "Mom, use the money to buy some nutritional
supplements for yourself. Don''t skimp on it; your health matters more than anything else."
Sally didn''t ept the money, though. Instead, she sent Kendall a voice message in response, saying,
"The medicinal supplements that you bought for mest time, I still have a lot of them. Also, you don''t
have to keep wiring money to me. I haven''t finished spending the money you gave me, so I''m not short
of cash at the moment." Whenever Kendall wired money to her, she''d wire her at least 50,000 every
single time. Not only that, but Kendall would wire money to her at least four times per month, which
meant that she''d give her at least 200,000 every month. She epted the money sometimes, but she
didn''t spend the money. Instead, she saved them up with the intention of giving Kendall the money as
thetter''s dowry in the future.
