Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126

"Speaking of my darling younger sister, ever since she moved into the Coleman Mansion, she has become quite haughty in her ways. So, she would no longer find Jackson worthy of her time. She has fallen out with him and plans to go after one of the Colemans. I guess any of them would be much more influential and have a higher status than Jackson."

At that point, Yasmine retorted angrily and with jealousy, "She's just a country bumpkin! She would only be able to stay on as Master Dylan's caregiver. She must be out of her mind to think that she could win over one of the Colemans."

Although Kendall was not involved in the incident last night, Yasmine was quite displeased with the fact that Kendall was able to remain by Dylan's side up to now.

"Did she have a fallout with Jackson?"

Kelly nodded. "She tried to kill herself by slitting her wrist, but Jackson was busy with work at that time so he didn't go to visit her. She was angry about that, so she kicked up a big fuss until now, and they haven't made up yet."

"Such an ugly girl, and yet she's a troublemaker." Yasmine continued, "She's the one who created trouble, and yet she wants to be coddled."

With a sigh, Kelly replied, "Yasmine, Jackson was sabotaged. Otherwise, he would never have dared to commit such a despicable offense at your birthday party. Could you please forgive him for that?"

She had intended to persuade Yasmine to coax her oldest brother to collaborate with Whittle Holdings to stabilize the morality of Whittle Holdings and prevent anyone else from targeting them maliciously. As such, Whittle Holdings would be able to get through this current tough situation that was escalated due to all of the rumors safely.

It looked like this was not a possible way, so she could only plead with Yasmine to forgive Jackson.

Kelly was fully aware of Yasmine's position in the Zorn Family, and if she was upset, her brothers would stop at nothing to seek revenge for her. After the incident with the project that Whittle Holdings had nearly finalized and about to sign the contract with the other party but was personally hijacked by Dylan, there were rumors that Whittle Holdings had offended Coleman Empire Holdings. Subsequently, the other companies in the same industry had also started to target Whittle Holdings, one after the other.

Right now, Whittle Holdings was in dire straits, and if Zorn Holdings made a move to target them too, they would basically be at odds against the two largest corporations in Orapolis. They would have no chance of surviving at all.

When Kelly had been about to leave the hospital, Rosemi had pleaded with her repeatedly to help Whittle Holdings when she had walked out from the place with Kelly. As such, Kelly would definitely do her best.

"All of you have told me that Jackson was a target of sabotage. Kelly, tell me something, who would be capable enough and daring enough to do that to him at my birthday party? And why him?" Yasmine stared intently at Kelly. "What does he have that would make him a target for someone? He's not exactly the most handsome guy or the most capable one of the young ones. As for his family background, it's not exactly the best, so tell me, why would anyone bother to target him? Jackson should have regained consciousness by now, right? Have you asked him?"

She continued to interrogate Kelly non-stop to find out what Kelly had to say.

At that moment, Yasmine's expression turned as soon as she noticed the Cartier necklace that Kelly had worn. It was the one that she had taken a liking to, but Charlotte had paid for it before her.

Yasmine's expression changed, but soon enough, she was back to her normal self.

Kelly replied without any hesitation, "Other than Kendall, who else could it be?"

Meanwhile, Yasmine's expression was unreadable as she directed another question at Kelly, "Didn't you just mention that she had a fallout with Jackson and wanted to pursue one of the males from the Coleman Family? Why did she sabotage Jackson then?"

Kelly's reply came quite naturally, "She did fall out with Jackson, but the depth of her love for him was also why she hated him so much after that. In fact, she hasn't moved on from her relationship with Jackson. Before she actually wins the affection of one of the Colemans, there is no way she would actually give up on Jackson."

"Not long ago, Mrs. Whittle came over to my house to send the betrothal gifts, and she told my mom that she intended to seek my hand in marriage on Jackson's behalf. Of course, Mrs. Whittle did this on purpose to exact revenge on Kendall. My mom was angry beyond words, and she kicked Mrs. Whittle out of the house. Mrs. Whittle was in the wrong in this case. After Kendall got word of this, perhaps she was afraid that Jackson would actually break up with her, so she took the opportunity of your birthday party to sabotage Jackson. Once everything happened and the situation could no longer be reversed, Jackson would have no way of getting away from her clutches and would forever be her spare option."

Meanwhile, Yasmine chuckled, and after that, she replied, "But Kendall wasn't on the scene when the incident occurred. It was Krystal who was assaulted by Jackson.”

Kelly replied, "If it wasn’t for Master Dylan requesting Kendall's presence by his side, she would have gone out right away."

At that point, Yasmine stopped talking.

The video that Kendall showed her exemplified Kendall's intention of going out, but Dylan had stopped her.

Suddenly, Yasmine realized that something was amiss. At that point in the video, the incident of Jackson assaulting Krystal had already happened, which led to Yasmine staring at Kelly silently.

Yasmine was quite haughty and arrogant, so she did not have many friends among the upper echelons of Orapolis. Most people were just supposedly friends with her, but in fact, they were just supporting characters there by her side to fawn over her as she enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

She didn’t mind them claiming to be her friends in front of the others as long as they didn’t affect her reputation. However, she sincerely regarded Kelly as her friend and even harbored hopes that Kelly would end up marrying her brother.

At that moment, though, Yasmine suddenly realized that she didn’t quite know her best friend at all.

Ever since Kelly had known that she wasn’t the biological daughter of the Parker Family, she had complained quite sadly in front of Yasmine more than once about how Kendall had purposely vied for their parents' affections and caused their parents to have a bad impression on Kelly.

Yasmine sympathized with her friend, so she had, in fact, kept a score on Kendall’s misdoings in her mind. She was just waiting for her birthday to arrive so she could teach Kendall a lesson during her party and embarrass Kendall in front of everyone.

In Yasmine's eyes, Kendall was an evil woman who portrayed an innocent look in front of the public.

"Kelly." Yasmine asked in a calm voice, "Earlier on, remember I asked you whether or not you had spoken to Jackson? Does he know who set him up?"

"He didn’t tell me anything, so I reckon he has no idea about that."

Jackson had finally regained consciousness at nearly noon, and he firmly refused to reveal the person who had set him up after regaining consciousness despite Rosemi and Kelly’s persistent questions.

His silence had caused Mrs. Whittle to strongly believe that Kendall was the perpetrator and that he was just protecting her.

Yasmine spoke up sneeringly, "He wouldn't dare to say a single word, of course! He wouldn’t have the decency to say anything because he deserved all that, and if he revealed it, everyone would agree with that. He has created trouble for himself."

As soon as Kelly heard that, she was secretly quite shocked, and she quickly asked, "Yasmine, do you know who set him up?"

"I went to see Kendall to settle the score with her before you came over here to see me."

Yasmine calmly mentioned, "Coincidentally, Ronnie, who works for Master Dylan, sent several video recordings to Kendall to prove her innocence. I’ve watched all three video clips. Although I don't trust Kendall’s personality, I definitely trust Master Dylan and Ronnie. Jackson was the one who drugged himself. Furthermore, it wasn't Kendall who intended to sabotage him. He was the one who tried to target Kendall. She was just lucky that she was attracted by the food, and she forgot which glass belonged to her after she got some food and came back. She took the wrong glass of wine, so that’s why she dodged it."

She even added, "As for why Jackson ended up consuming that glass of wine himself, perhaps that’s karma for him. His despicable deeds ended up giving him a taste of his own medicine. Kendall did not encounter Jackson at all from the moment she entered my house. She didn't even realize that he was present during my birthday party."

At that point, Kelly was significantly speechless.
