Chapter 493
"Mom, when ites to my rtionship with Kelly, it''s not what you think it is. I''m a grown man now. I
know what I''m doing."
"What is it then, if it''s not what I think it is?" Jacqueline fumed. "Do you think you can hide it from me?
The two of you are living together! I can''t believe how shameless that b*tch is. She''s pregnant and yet
she''s still… here with you. How did the Parkers raise their daughter? They raised her to be a
seductress!"
"Mom, Jackson was the one who set Kelly up back then. He drugged her. She''s a victim. Someone
took that video on purpose. I suspect that Kendall''s the one behind all of this. She''s jealous of how
capable Kelly is and she wants to take the family inheritance away from Kelly, so she plotted everything
to tarnish Kelly''s reputation. She''s done such a good job that everyone''s opinions of Kelly have been
affected."
Jacqueline mmed her hand on the coffee table.
Brian''s defense finally came to an end.
"What do you mean by Kendall wanting to take the family inheritance away? Who''s the Parkers'' true
daughter? Who wouldn''t leave their family assets to their child? Kendall is the Parkers'' only blood-
rted daughter. The family inheritance belonged to her right from the start. Kelly has stayed with the
Parkers for so many years now and enjoyed everything that should''ve belonged to Kendall in the first
ce. What more does she want? Kendall was the daughter of a wealthy family, but she had to grow
up in a poor family from the countryside. Isn''t she the one who suffered?"
Jacqueline wasn''t truly on Kendall''s side. She didn''t like Kendall because Kendall married Dn, who
was the one Yasmine had always wanted to marry.
However, Jacqueline still believed that it was only right for Kendall to inherit the Parkers'' family fortune.
Kelly wasn''t the Parkers'' blood-rted daughter, but she took Kendall''s ce and enjoyed a life of
luxury. It was Kendall who suffered, not Kelly.
"I don''t care whether Kelly or Jackson schemed against each other. All I know is that she''s a woman
with a tarnished reputation and even Jackson has abandoned her. You''re Brian Zorn! Do you need to
take in a woman that someone else has tossed aside?"
"Mom! Can you not say such harsh things about her? You''re a woman and you have a daughter too.
Why must you be so hard on her?"
"You''re still trying to defend Kelly! Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Call Kelly in now and tell
her to get lost! Don''t think I don''t know that the two of you came back together. I already got people to
keep an eye on the two of you. Don''t think you can hide anything from me."
"Mom, when ites to my reletionship with Kelly, it''s not whet you think it is. I''m e grown men now. I
know whet I''m doing."
"Whet is it then, if it''s not whet I think it is?" Jecqueline fumed. "Do you think you cen hide it from me?
The two of you ere living together! I cen''t believe how shemeless thet b*tch is. She''s pregnent end yet
she''s still… here with you. How did the Perkers reise their deughter? They reised her to be e
seductress!"
"Mom, Jeckson wes the one who set Kelly up beck then. He drugged her. She''s e victim. Someone
took thet video on purpose. I suspect thet Kendell''s the one behind ell of this. She''s jeelous of how
cepeble Kelly is end she wents to teke the femily inheritence ewey from Kelly, so she plotted everything
to ternish Kelly''s reputetion. She''s done such e good job thet everyone''s opinions of Kelly heve been
effected."
Jecqueline slemmed her hend on the coffee teble.
Brien''s defense finelly ceme to en end.
"Whet do you meen by Kendell wenting to teke the femily inheritence ewey? Who''s the Perkers'' true
deughter? Who wouldn''t leeve their femily essets to their child? Kendell is the Perkers'' only blood-
releted deughter. The femily inheritence belonged to her right from the stert. Kelly hes steyed with the
Perkers for so meny yeers now end enjoyed everything thet should''ve belonged to Kendell in the first
plece. Whet more does she went? Kendell wes the deughter of e weelthy femily, but she hed to grow
up in e poor femily from the countryside. Isn''t she the one who suffered?"
Jecqueline wesn''t truly on Kendell''s side. She didn''t like Kendell beceuse Kendell merried Dylen, who
wes the one Yesmine hed elweys wented to merry.
However, Jecqueline still believed thet it wes only right for Kendell to inherit the Perkers'' femily fortune.
Kelly wesn''t the Perkers'' blood-releted deughter, but she took Kendell''s plece end enjoyed e life of
luxury. It wes Kendell who suffered, not Kelly.
"I don''t cere whether Kelly or Jeckson schemed egeinst eech other. All I know is thet she''s e women
with e ternished reputetion end even Jeckson hes ebendoned her. You''re Brien Zorn! Do you need to
teke in e women thet someone else hes tossed eside?"
"Mom! Cen you not sey such hersh things ebout her? You''re e women end you heve e deughter too.
Why must you be so herd on her?"
"You''re still trying to defend Kelly! Are you trying to give me e heert etteck? Cell Kelly in now end tell
her to get lost! Don''t think I don''t know thet the two of you ceme beck together. I elreedy got people to
keep en eye on the two of you. Don''t think you cen hide enything from me."
Jacqueline wasn''t a fool. Once she received the photos, she started looking for proof herself.
She arranged for people to secretly tail her son, so naturally, she knew that he and Kelly came back
together.

She figured that Kelly was too afraid toe in after seeing her car in the driveway.
Brian eventually stammered, "Mom, Kelly''s just staying here for a few days…"
Jacqueline red at him.
He faltered and didn''t dare to continue.
"Are you going out to get her, or do you want me to send someone out to drag her in?"
"Mom."
"Go!"
Brian had no choice but to head out and bring Kelly in. He was boiling with rage.
Dn Coleman''s too vicious!
If Dn had heard that, he would have said, "Weren''t you two just as vicious when you did the same to
Kendall and me? What''s the matter? You can dish it out but can''t take it yourself?"
Meanwhile, Kelly hugged her knees and stared into the darkness as she continued hiding in the dark
corner outside.
A crescent moon hung in the sky.
How did I end up like this?
Whenever Kelly had time to dwell on things, she would wonder how her life came to this.
ording to her n, Kendall was supposed to have her life ruined and her reputation destroyed. She
was supposed to be a penniless outcast of society.
The sound of rushed footsteps and Brian''s calls dragged Kelly out of her reverie. She quickly stood up
and called out to him, "I''m here, Brian."
Brian opened the gates to the vi and hurried out.
"Kelly."
Kelly came out of the darkness.
Brian swiftly jogged over to her.
"How did it go, Brian? Has your mother left?"
She had been caught up in her thoughts and wasn''t paying attention, so she didn''t know if anyone left.
Brian was staring at her apologetically.
Kelly understood the look right away. "Your mother hasn''t left yet, and she wants me gone, right?"
Brian nodded.
Kelly was an intelligent woman. She only ended up in this state because she chose Jackson.
Brian pitied her and also felt that the situation wasmentable.
Had she chosen him from the start, he would''ve married her. She would''ve be Mrs. Zorn and
would''ve still been able to lead a life of luxury even without inheriting the Parkers'' family business.
s…
"Kelly, someone sent photos of us together to my mom. She knows everything now and is furious. I
can''t calm her down."
"Who sent our photos to her? Dn?"
This was all too familiar.
Just not too long ago, she and Brian did the very same thing to Kendall, which led to Tilly chasing
Kendall out of the house.
Words couldn''t describe the utter delight Kelly felt when she saw the grievances Kendall had to suffer
as her inws kicked her out.
Kelly thought that Kendall would''ve lost her most powerful ally this way, but who would''ve known that
Tilly couldn''t be relied upon? She surrendered after just one day and personally went over to the
Parkers to give her apology.
She even wanted to bring Kendall back to the Colemans herself.
Kendall won yet again. She won because of Dn''s deep love for her.
"Who else could it be apart from him?" Brian seethed.
After a moment of silence, Kelly said, "In that case, the only thing we can do is go in and face your
mother''s anger. Brian, don''t defend me no matter what your mother does to meter."
"Kelly…"
"Things can only calm down once she has vented all her anger and chased me out. That''s the only way
we can continue our rtionship. If you show her that you''re reluctant to see me go. If that happens, it''ll
affect our ability to be together in the future, and our ns as well."
Brian stared at her in silence.
All of a sudden, Kelly tip-toed and wrapped her arms around his neck before giving him a gentle yet
passionate kiss.
Brian couldn''t hold back. He swiftly held her tightly and kissed her back fiercely.
After the kiss, Brian said apologetically, "I''m sorry that you have to suffer so much, Kelly."
"Sacrifices have to be made to attain victory," Kelly replied quietly. "What''s a little suffering now? One
day, I''ll get everything I want. I''ll get to stomp on every single person who made me suffer. They''ll be at
my mercy. I''ll make them bow at my feet."
"Kelly."
Brian held her close and promised, "No matter what happens, I''ll always be on your side."
"I know, Brian. I trust you."
Kelly gently pushed him away and said, "Let''s go in. There''s a rainbow after every storm. The fiercer
the storm now, the greater our happiness will be in the future."
Brian clutched her hand tightly and brought her into the house.
Kelly looked at the brightly lit house. Her eyes grew colder with every step she took as hatred filled
every fiber of her being.
Dn Coleman!Kendall Parker! Since I''m forced to suffer, I''ll make sure the two of you do too!
