Chapter 481
Rosemi was frantic. "Kelly, I know that our family has wronged you, and Jackson has too. I''m sure you
know that the one Jackson loves has been you all along. He had no choice but to marry that b*tch,
Krystal. You know all this. You know very well just how good Jackson has been to you. He''s not the one
who talked to the media about the scandal. It was Krystal. She''s the one who pushed all the me on
you on purpose so that everyone would attack you. I even had a fight with her over this."
She grabbed Kelly''s hand and started pleading, "I know Jackson has made a serious mistake. I don''t
expect you to find a way to let him walk free. I just want you to talk to your birth mother and the rest of
the family. As long as your brother forgives Jackson, he''ll get to serve a lighter sentence. I''ll make sure
Jackson and Krystal get a divorce, too. Once they get a divorce, you and Jackson can register your
marriage. This way, it''ll be a family dispute, and if we hire a goodwyer, maybe Jackson could
get out of prison sooner. Kelly, Jackson''s still the father of your unborn child. Can you bear to see the
father of your child in prison?"
Kelly withdrew her hand.
She took a sip from the ss of warm water before saying, "Mrs. Whittle, I was very clear just now. My
brother only went to confront Jackson because he wanted to stand up for me, but Jackson nearly killed
him. Even though my brother survived, I can''t pretend as if nothing happened. My brother would be
heartbroken if I went to him and pleaded for his forgiveness on Jackson''s behalf."
Kelly put on a grand show of brother-sister bond before adding, "If I do that, then who will stand up for
me the next time I get hurt? Furthermore, he''s not just my brother. He''s also Kendall''s brother. There''s
no point asking me for help, Mrs. Whittle. You should be asking Kendall instead. My brother will forgive
Jackson if Kendall talks to him about it.
"Kendall is Young Mistress Coleman now, and Dn Coleman adores her. Old Madam Coleman
chased her out of the house, but in less than a day, she immediately changed her mind and tried to
bring Kendall back. This proves just how unshakable her position in the Coleman Family is. If she''s
willing to plead on Jackson''s behalf for old time''s sake, he might not even have to go to prison."
Kelly didn''t want Rosemi to bother her anymore, so she shoved everything over to Kendall instead.
"It''s not as if I haven''t tried to look for Kendall," Rosemi stated somewhat embarrassedly. "She''s Young
Mistress Coleman and not someone I can just meet whenever I want to."
The person she once felt nothing but contempt and disdain for was now someone she couldn''t even
meet if she wanted to.
Things in Orapolis had changed too quickly. Rosemi had been caught off guard and didn''t know what to
do.
In just several months, Whittle Holdings went from a flourishing business to one on the brink of
bankruptcy.
Just a few months ago, she was still the glorious Mrs. Whittle with a crowd of people trying to get into
her good graces, but now, even the wives of barely notable businessmen were staying as far away
from her as possible. Everyone avoided her like the gue.
Rosemi had tried to ask her maiden family for help too, but they couldn''t help her in any way, and they
were also worried that they would suffer because of their connection to the Whittles.
This was the reality now.
"Kelly, why don''t youe with me when I visit your brother at the hospital?" she pleaded.
"I went by myself a few times, but every single time, your other brother, Roger, would kick me out. The
family doesn''t even want to talk to me. They keep chasing me out even though I tell them I came to
apologize and discusspensation."
She knew that her son hadmitted a crime, but with the victim''s forgiveness, it was possible for him
to get a lighter sentence.
It would be even better if they could turn this into a family dispute instead.
However, Krystal refused to get a divorce, and Jackson was still in custody, so he and Kelly couldn''t
register their marriage anyway.
Rosemi had only said that because she was overwrought.
Still, Kelly didn''t even bother responding to that.
Why would she even consider getting married to Jackson now? Wasn''t it better for her to marry Brian
and be Mrs. Zorn instead?
Brian was the one who truly loved her, unlike Jackson, who didn''t even know how to fight for their
rtionship and only knew how to tell her topromise.
Secretly, Kelly was envious of Kendall. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Regardless of whether Dn was impotent or paraplegic, he was still willing to stand up against his
grandmother just for Kendall''s sake, and he even won. Tilly had publicly acknowledged Kendall as her
granddaughter-inw.
That''s true love. Jackson''s too weak and spineless.
"Kelly, think of the baby. Could you apany me to the hospital for the baby''s sake?"
Rosemi grabbed Kelly''s hand and started pleading again.
After a long pause, Kelly reluctantly agreed.
Nelson had been heavily injured because of her and he nearly died. It was only right for her to visit him.
She hadn''t gone back to Parker Residencetely. If she did, her adoptive parents would once again
admonish her for being heartless and not visiting Nelson in the hospital even though he nearly died
because of her.
Although she hadn''t been home for several days, Adam and Charlotte didn''t say anything. Charlotte
had only called her once to lecture her.
When Kelly saw Adam at the office today, the look in his eyes made it clear to her that her rtionship
with her adoptive parents was weakening. One day, it would crumble apart.
This was yet another reason why Kelly''s resentment toward Kendall deepened.
Once Kendall gets back to the office, I have to put the n that Brian and I came up with in motion.
They were going to arrange for handsome men to approach Kendall, and at the same time, they were
going to let her deal with a representative from Brian''spany under the guise of signing a business
deal, but in reality, Kelly and Brian were going to set a trap for both Kendall and Parker Corporation.
"Kelly."
Rosemi took a red velvet jewelry box out of her bag and passed it to Kelly as she said, "This is for you.
It''s my favorite ne."
Kelly took a look inside the box. It was a very pretty ne, and one that Rosemi loved wearing the
most.
It was incredibly valuable.
She closed the box and pushed it back toward Rosemi. "This is too much, Mrs. Whittle. I can''t ept it.
I don''t need any more jewelry."
After spending the night at Brian''s ce, he showered her with gifts, including a lot of new clothes,
several designer bags, and over a dozen sets of jewelry.
He was a lot more generous than Jackson.
Or rather, he had a lot more money than Jackson, to be more precise.
The Whittles couldn''tpare to the Zorns at all.
Once again, Kelly regretted being so foolish in the past as to not choose Brian from the start.
None of this would''ve happened had she chosen him from the beginning. Her life would''ve been
perfect.
Everything had been ruined due to one false move.
"Kelly, you''re pregnant with the Whittles'' child. Jackson has wronged you, and I feel deeply remorseful.
This ne is just a token of my apology. Just take it. I''ll feel better if you ept it."
However, Kelly continued to decline.
She stroked her belly.
"This child is also mine. I''m keeping the baby because, as the mother, I can''t bring myself to harm the
baby. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Mrs. Whittle, when the child is born, he or she will take my
last name. I can raise the baby by myself."
Since she couldn''t bear to abort the baby, she needed to do a good job of appeasing and convincing
Brian so that he would be willing to ept the child as well.
