Chapter 420
"Kendall, can we talk?"
Kendall watched Rosemi with eyes of scrutiny. Ever since Jackson was taken to custody upon hurting
Nelson, Rosemi did not sleep a wink. Judging from her haggard visage, she probably had been crying
her eyes out since they were red and puffy like peaches.
Not feeling an ounce of pity, Kendall answered coldly, "We have nothing to talk about, Mrs. Whittle."
Why should I? My brother is still in the ICU.
Having said that, she bypassed Rosemi.
"Kendall." Rosemi grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving, but she swung it off as though it was
poisonous.
"Kendall, I know what Jackson did is wrong, but it''s not entirely on him. We consulted with the police
about the whole incident. Your brother started it first, and Jackson was only defending himself."
Kendall sniggered. "Who told you that it was self-defense?"
Rosemi was not the only one who consulted with the police about the entirety of the incident, Kendall
did too. It was true that Nelson flung the first punch, but Jackson countered too. It was literally a fist
fight since they fought with their bare hands.
However, when Krystal struck Nelson''s head with the fire extinguisher, the pain had stopped him from
attacking Jackson. And Jackson had seized the chance to pounce on Nelson, after which he snatched
the fire extinguisher from her before whacking Nelson with it.
Had Nelson not protected his head with his hands out of reflex, he could have died on scene because
of Jackson. Despite that, Nelson was seriously injured and his life was still in danger as of now.
It was no longer self-defense on Jackson''s part; it was an intentional tort and he should face the legal
consequences. Even if Kendall wished to get rid of him, she would never kick him when he was down.
Still, he should bear the responsibility and face the punishment!
Rosemi gulped, but she soon added, "Kendall, we''llpensate for everything. We''ll pay your
brother''s hospital bills. So, please forgive Jackson. Don''t sue him. He''s still young. His future shouldn''t
be ruined because of this. Seeing that you''ve dated each other for a year, can''t you bring yourself to
forgive him? I''m begging you! Please tell Master Dn not to kill Jackson. Jackson knows that he''s
wrong. I''m sure he didn''t do that to your brother on purpose. Your brother hit him first, so he made a big
mistake unconsciously."
Kendall''s face darkened as she growled, "Mind yournguage, Mrs. Whittle! Since when does Dn
want your son dead? It has nothing to do with Dn at all! Look at how my brother ended up because
of Jackson. How dare you want us to let him get away with it! What do you take my brother''s life and
thew for? Jackson should bear the consequences of his actions. Don''t even think of running away
from it. We do things overtly, and we''re protecting our own safety rights. If the Whittles thinks that we''re
going overboard, you may get Jackson awyer. We shall meet each other in the court."
Kendall''s face darkened as she growled, "Mind yournguage, Mrs. Whittle! Since when does Dn

Kendall had received another tug in the arm from Rosemi, but she flung it off once again. "Kendall,
please. Please issue a letter of understanding to lighten Jackson''s sentence. We''ll be very grateful to
you. Nelson isn''t your biological brother either. The blood running in him isn''t the same as yours, but
Jackson is your ex-boyfriend—"
"Keep your dignity, Mrs. Whittle." Rosemi''s shameless acts almost had Kendallughing. To think that
she would assume that Jackson had more importance than Nelson to Kendall.
I wonder which part of Jackson is better than Nell.
"Nell is my brother and he will always be! Jackson is aplete loser. A scumbag like him doesn''t
deserve to be mentioned next to my brother''s name! And what? Ex-boyfriend? I seriously hate myself
for being blind back then. I even wished that I never knew him in the first ce!"
If it were not for Jackson and Kelly, she would not have ended up so miserably in her past life. Even if
part of it was her fault, they were the main cause for everything.
"Mrs. Whittle, I''m telling you. I will never write a letter of understanding unless pigs fly. Please call the
security guards to bring her out." Not wanting to deal with Rosemi any longer, Kendall informed the
receptionist to call the security guards.
"Kendall, please." Rosemi sped tightly onto Kendall''s hand. No matter how Kendall tried to shrug her
off, she would not let go as she cried, "Kendall, I know that it''s all Jackson''s fault. He''s wrong, but he
only acted rashly at the spur of the moment. If your brother didn''t find him in the first ce, such
idents wouldn''t have happened! Kendall, please! Please show him mercy. I''ll get on my knees for
you."
Just as Rosemi was going to kneel, Kendall raised her hand and bit Rosemi''s hand, causing Rosemi to
wail in pain and let go of her instinctively.
"Even if you kneel until the day ends, I will never issue the letter! Jackson beat Nell to a pulp and he''s
still in the ICU. How dare youe beg me to have mercy on Jackson! Whether he''s Jackson or a
jack*ss, he ain''t more important than my brother. Get her out of here at this instant!" ordered Kendall to
the security guards, who arrived at the scene.
"Kendall. Kendall Parker!" Two security guards dragged her as she attempted to wriggle free from their
sp, but it was all in vain. Eventually, she was hauled out of the building.
In the meantime, Kendall went upstairs without turning her head. Despite starting her day with a good
mood because of Dn, Rosemi totally rained on her parade.
After being driven away, Rosemi wailed at the entrance for a while before leaving in grievance. When
she arrived home, her husband was nowhere to be seen and so she asked the maids, "Where is
President Whittle?"
"He went to work."
Rosemi''s hackles raised immediately. "His son is in trouble, and yet he''s off to work? Work, work, work.
Is work that important? If it wasn''t for thepany, my boy wouldn''t have to sacrifice so much and end
up like this."
The person her son loved had always been Kendall. However, he kept making mistakes and finally
sacrificed his marriage life by marrying the woman he did not love just for thepany''s sake. Yet,
after going through a series of trouble, her son was now dragged away by the police!
The maids stood aside and kept their mouths shut. Madam is in a bad mood.
After scolding her husband, Rosemi started raving about Kendall, "And that country bumpkin. How dare
she treat me that way just because she married someone of higher status?! Let''s see how far she can
go. I wonder how long she can stay as a ''widow''. That stupid bumpkin, b*tch! My son is like this
because of her and her sister! I have even condescended myself and pleaded with her, but she doesn''t
budge at all! That b*tch!"
The maids hung their heads low as they dared not respond to the acrimonious statement.
She''s weird. Whether she condescends herself or not, it’s still up to others to decide if they want to
ept her pleas or not, isn''t it?Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
