Chapter 453
Desmond had no choice but to walk Amelia out. He couldn''t me Amelia for what she felt—he knew
Frank had gone overboard with his actions. All Desmond hoped was for Frank to give up on his
obsession with Kendall. Ms. Taylor is a pretty nice girl. I have high hopes for her to be Mrs.
Mendelson someday, he thought.
Amelia bumped into Yasmine right after walking out of the Mendelson Residence. When Yasmine saw
Amelia, she parked her car and got out before greeting Amelia. "Where''s Kendall, Amelia? Is she
okay? Did Frank do anything to her?" Amelia was stunned for a moment. I wouldn''t have expected
Yasmine to ask about Kendall. It almost sounds like she cares for Kendall. How could that be? Yasmine
is Kelly''s best friend. Even though they aren''t that close anymore, someone as arrogant as Yasmine
can''t possibly be interested in Kendall''s situation.
In the past, Yasmine used to be deeply in love with Dn. She saw Kendall as her rival after Kendall
had gotten married to Dn, and she had done all sorts of nasty things to Kendall because of that.
Amelia didn''t think it''d be possible for someone like Yasmine to care about Kendall. "Why aren''t you
talking, Amelia? Tell me! Did Frank do anything to Kendall? I heard the news that Frank got his men to
block your car. Is Kendall okay?"
Amelia cursed to herself. How did the news spread out so quickly? Old Madam Coleman has always
been suspicious of Frank and Kendall. If the news spreads to her, Kendall will never be able to prove
her innocence anymore. "Are you truly asking about Kendall?" Amelia uttered in the end.
"What kind of silly question is that? Do I sound like I''m asking about you instead?" Yasmine hissed.
Amelia scoffed in response. "The sun must have risen from the other side of the sky today. I can''t
believe you''re actually showing care for Kendall." Yasmine didn''t seem annoyed by Amelia''s sarcastic
tone. "Kendall is fine, isn''t she? Did Master Dn manage to save her? He''s a powerful man—he can
probably get things settled without even leaving his house. He''d never allow Frank toy his hands on
Kendall."
Benjamin and Brian''s n had failed miserably. Yasmine had tried talking some sense into them, and
she had tried to tell them not to pick Dn as an enemy. She knew that Dn wouldn''t be known as
the God of the business industry if he were that easily defeated. However, her brothers didn''t pay any
heed to her warnings. They wanted to use Frank''s love for Kendall to hurt Dn.
Sure enough, it might''ve appeared that they had sessfully caused Dn to suffer emotional pain,
which was the worst kind of agonypared to physical ones. However, Dn was a stubborn man
who refused to give up. His love for Kendall was too strong for him to let go of her.

When Yasmine found out Kendall and Amelia were going to the hot springs, she contemted joining
them. However, she then received the news that Frank had brought his men along to block Amelia''s
car on the highway.
By the time she rushed over to the highway, she was met with an empty road—that was why she now
showed up at the Mendelson Residence. Amelia''s expression softened when she was finally convinced
that Yasmine was genuinely concerned about Kendall. "Frank knocked me out, and I just woke up a
while ago. I haven''t met Kendall yet, but judging from Frank''s reaction, it''s clear he doesn''t have
Kendall with him. I''m not sure if it were one of Master Dn''s people who managed to save Kendall in
the end," Amelia replied.
"I''m d that she''s fine." Yasmine heaved a sigh of relief. "Where''s your car?" Yasmine asked Amelia.
Amelia froze upon hearing Yasmine''s question. Oh, right. Where is my car? Ipletely forgot about it.
It should be in the Mendelson Residence, right? She had turned and wanted to head back in, but
Yasmine had stopped her. "Could Frank still be mad at you? Why don''t you leave your car for now? I
can send you home," Yasmine offered.
"I''m a little taken aback by how nice you are to me, Ms. Zorn," Amelia replied. Yasmine simply dragged
Amelia toward her car before pushing Amelia into the passenger''s seat. "Do you enjoy being tortured,
Amelia? Why do you say that you''re taken aback when I''m being nice to you? Do you want me to curse
at you and look down on you instead? Does that feel more like the norm to you?" Yasmine muttered.
Amelia was speechless. "You don''t do well withpliments, do you? It''s almost as if you had turned
into a devil the moment I praised you," Amelia replied.
"Don''t curse me. I want to live a long life," Yasmine mumbled.
"I didn''t curse you."
"You called me a devil. Only dead people turn into devils," Yasmine retorted. Amelia was left
speechless once again. While they made their way back to the Taylor Residence, Amelia couldn''t
contain her curiosity. "Didn''t you used to have a thing against Kendall in the past?"
"I was being silly back then. I hadn''t gotten over Master Dn, which was why I picked on Kendall so
much. When I finally realized what I wanted, she no longer felt like a target to me," Yasmine answered.
"I used to think Kendall was annoying—I''d get infuriated every time I crossed paths with her in the past.
But after a while, I realized she was a pretty decent person. Perhaps we may never be friends, but at
least we''re no longer enemies."
Yasmine had even given up on Frank. Her fights with Kendall made her realize that both Frank and
Dn could never bring her the happiness she wanted. Jeffrey was the only one who could do that.
She basked in the feeling of having someone treating her like a precious gem!
Amelia tilted her head to gaze at Yasmine. She had never expected things between Kendall and
Yasmine to end in such a manner. "Don''t look at me like that. I''m not going against Kendall, but that
doesn''t mean I''m a nice person. Though, I''m not an evil person either," Yasmine muttered.
Amelia chuckled. "Well, I don''t think you''re a nice person, either," she uttered truthfully. Yasmine didn''t
know how to respond to that.
The night had fallen by the time Kendall had arrived at the Ford Residence in Eastfort. Right then, she
received a call from Roger. She was rather afraid to pick up Roger''s call. She figured Roger had
probably heard about her incident and was calling out of worry and care. After staring at her phone for
a while, she finally decided to pick up the call. Her phone had rung a few times by that point, and Roger
didn''t seem like he was going to give up anytime soon.
"Hey, Roger," Kendall uttered.
"It''s your mom speaking." Sally''s voice came from the other end of the line.
"Oh, hey, Mom," Kendall said.
"Am I still your mom to you, Kendall?"
"What are you talking about, Mom? You''ll always be my mother."
"Well, if you see me as your mother, why didn''t you tell me anything when you encountered such a
huge incident? You didn''t even call us to tell us about it. Is it because you feel like we can''t be of any
help to you?" Sally asked, her heart aching for Kendall''s situation.
The Woods had learned about the news of Kendall being chased out of the Coleman Residence, but
this only happened after Sally overheard other patients and their family members gossiping about this
matter. Sally told her youngest son to look it up on the Inte, and they only found out the truth after
that. She felt horrible for Kendall. It felt to her like everything wasn''t going well in the household. She
figured she should head to the church and do some prayers after Nelson was out of the hospital—she
wanted to ask God to bless her children with better luck.
"I just don''t want you guys to be worried, Mom. Nell just came out of the ICU, and you guys probably
have your hands full from caring for him. I can deal with such small matters on my own, so I decided
not to tell you guys about it. You should keep this a secret from Nell, Mom. Otherwise, I''m afraid it
might affect his mood and worsen his condition," Kendall said.
"We''ve all kept this hidden from Nell. His phone is with us, and he doesn''t have any ess to it," Sally
replied. "How could you say that this is a small matter? You''re going to make me lose my mind
someday, Kendall." Sally felt so bad for her daughter that she felt like crying. She had insomnia and
barely had an appetite ever since her children started encountering all these issues. She had already
lost count of the number of times she had hidden in a corner to cry.
