Chapter 401


    "Okay," Yasmine promised Jeffrey and gave up on the notion of seeing Frank at the Mendelson


    Residence right now.


    He chuckled brighter on the other side of the line, and it rubbed it off on her as she broke into a smile


    too.


    "Jeffrey, yourughter is more dazzling than the sun."


    "If it can light up your life and give you happiness, I''m willing to smile brighter than the sun."


    She smiled at that. "You''re always so kind, Jeffrey."


    The man then thought, It is because I care for you. You''re the person I want to protect forever.


    However, he dared not say it aloud considering how the gap between the Schubert Family and


    Mendelson Family had widened. He was aware that Yasmine had her eyes on two men only—Dn


    Coleman and Frank Mendelson.


    The person she wished to marry was Dn, while Frank was second in line. Even thetter was


    deemed as a back-burner boy, but Jeffrey was nothing at all.


    Although Yasmine did not like Jeffrey, she treated him as an older brother like she always did. As long


    as he could make her happy, Jeffrey was willing to do anything as he was told. That was the feeling he


    had for her—she was the sunshine of his life.


    "Where are you? I''ll pick you up."


    "I just left the Coleman Residence," Yasmine answered honestly. "I''m on my way home. You can wait


    for me outside my house. I''ll be there in twenty minutes.".


    Knowing that she went to the Coleman Residence, Jeffrey felt bitter, but the smile on his face remained


    as he gently said, "Okay. You must be driving. I''ll hang up now. Drive safely . Don''t go too fast."


    "Got it. Jeffrey, I didn''t go there to meet Young Master Dn. I apologized to Kendall for what I''ve done


    to her in the past. I was blind to do such awful things to her."


    The bitterness in Jeffrey was swept away by her words. As soon as she finished her exnation, she


    ended the call.


    …


    Kelly wasying on the bed in the hospital. She seemed like she was fast asleep, but she was actually


    closing her eyes as she pondered over something. The words Brian said before he took his leave made


    sense to her.


    It was highly possible that Kendall nned the whole exposure of Kelly and Jackson''s affair at the


    wedding ceremony. Yet, there was no evidence for it. Kelly knew she could no longer be at a


    disadvantage in the infighting with Kendall.


    If she wished to turn the tables and make Kendall have a hard time, Kendall had to lose Dn''s trust


    and get into his bad books. After losing his support, she would be nothing.


    Kelly, who was oblivious about Dn''s vitality, figured that the best way would be having a handsome


    man approach Kendall so as to prompt Kendall to betray Dn.


    Kelly did not believe that Kendall would be willing to live a life of a ''widow'' forever. Also, Charlotte had


    secretly gone for a paternity test after her instigation.


    No matter what happened, the fake test result had to be handed to Charlotte! Only then would


    Kendall''s reputation be ruined.


    Kelly opened her eyes, only to see her biological mother sleeping by her bed. Sally took care of her


    meticulously and truly loved her. Sally barely sleptst night, and Kelly wavered.


    Even so, at the thought of Sally being reluctant to put in good words to Kendall''s face in order to have


    Dn deal with the negative news incurred by the affair, the wavering feelings for her biological mother


    dissipated.


    Yes, she was the real daughter of the Woods Family.


    However, they obviously favored Kendall more; although they seemed to be treating Kelly nicely, they


    would take Kendall''s side whenever Kendall was involved.


    Kendall was so lucky to be loved by her biological parents upon returning to her real home, while the


    love from her adoptive family did not wane as well. And what about me?


    Kelly''s eyes flickered with resentment. Now that Sally was asleep, she took her phone to message


    Brian. She needed someone to find her an attractive womanizer.


    ''What are you trying to do, Kelly?'' He texted back at lightning speed.


    ''To deal with my enemy.''


    ''Are you trying to make Kendall cheat on Dn?''


    ''Yeah. If she does that, she''ll lose Dn and be a country bumpkin that has nothing. Everything in


    the Parker Family is mine. They''re all mine!'' Her obsession and insanity was evident from her final


    sentence.


    ''Okay, I''ll help you find one.'' Brian had always disliked Kendall and bore jealousy and resentment at


    Dn. Thus, he was willing to help Kelly go against Kendall.


    ''Thanks, Brian. I''ll repay you after it''s settled.''


    ''Don''t sweat.''


    ''What are you doing, Brian?''


    After a moment of silence, he replied, ''I''m at home.'' Drinking.


    Kelly''s incident was a big blow to him. His parents and siblings were chiding her in his stead, yet he


    could not say a bad word about her; his heart ached in deep disappointment and pain.


    ''Have a good rest, Kelly.'' N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    ''I will.''


    She stopped messaging, and so did Brian. He could ept her, but on the condition of an abortion.


    Jackson was also another trouble that she could not get rid of. Her mind was in shambles.


    Suddenly, amotion could be heard beyond the doors, including L''s voice of stopping someone.


    Soon, the door swung open.


    The reporters, who finally seized their chance, swarmed into the room like bees to take pictures of


    Kelly. Some of them even lifted the nket and took a few shots at her belly.


    "What are you guys doing? Get out! Get out of here!" She was exasperated. This is a hospital! What


    are the security guards doing? Why did they let the reporters in and disturb the patients?!


    Sally awoke in surprise and sprang to her feet. Despite her attempts to thwart the reporters, her effort


    alone was not enough. Nelson, who had always disliked Kelly, went elsewhere right after lunch and no


    one knew where he was at the moment.


    "Ms. Parker, are you pregnant with Jackson Whittle''s baby?"


    "Ms. Parker, since when were you in a rtionship with Jackson Whittle?"


    "Young Mistress Coleman loved Jackson Whittle and had once turned down the Coleman Family''s


    proposal for him. Yet, she got married to Young Master Dn in the end. Is it because she found out


    about the affair and gave up? Is that why she chose Young Master Dn?"


    "Ms. Parker—"


    They bombarded her with acute questions.


    However, Kelly only responded coldly, "Please leave the room. I refuse to answer any of your


    questions. These are my personal matters!"


    Still, the reporters were not pliant as they kept clicking their cameras at Kelly despite her reluctance to


    answer their questions.


    Fortunately, L soon returned alongside the security guards, who drove the reporters away.


    After all, it was the hospital where the patients needed a quiet rest. They could not let the reporters


    cause amotion and disturb other patients.
