Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194

Tapping Kelly's nose lightly, Jackson ranted, "So you're driving me away after calling me out and taking advantage of me, huh? Kelly, you're so mean. But what can I do? I have fallen head over heels for you, and I'm willing to undergo the most severe trials just for you."

"Your mouth is simply as sweet as honey. It's no wonder you can coax Krystal so quickly."

Kelly could see that there was love in Krystal's eyes every time she looked at Jackson.

Jackson is truly a ladies man. It's always easy for him to receive the love of the opposite sex.

"Kelly, I only say these words to you. I don't even say them to Kendall, let alone Krystal." Jackson defended himself in a stern demeanor.

The smile on Kelly's face intensified, and there was a trace of sweetness in her eyes.

"I know I'm the person you love the most. I really need to leave, Jackson. I have to go back and report to my Daddy. Kendall's such a troublemaker who always offends others. What's more, I even have to be her watchman and clean up the mess for her."

In a flash, Jackson's eyes flickered. Acting casual, he asked, "What trouble did she bring upon herself again this time? What's the big deal about her throwing Krystal into the river this morning?"

"She threw Krystal into the river?"

"Yeah."

"What happened?"

Jackson told Kelly the incident that took place in the morning.

After listening to Jackson's story, Kelly said instinctively, "Kendall did nothing wrong in this matter. Krystal simply has a foul mouth. If it were me, I would have slapped her a few times before throwing her into the river. Kendall was considered merciful."

Upon hearing that, Jackson went speechless.

"Okay. Don't worry about what Kendall did. The two of you are no longer connected to each other anyway. From what I see, she's really given up on you. I really didn't expect that she would cut off her infatuation with you simply because you didn't show concern in time when she cut her wrist once."

Kelly did not know whether to rejoice or lament.

Later, Jackson got out of the car.

Before driving, Kelly pressed down the car window and gave him a flying kiss. Only then did she drive away.

Standing in place, Jackson watched as she left. Yet, Kelly never told him what trouble Kendall got herself into again. Was it disastrous? Does she need my help?

Thinking of Kendall's ruthlessness toward her, Jackson shivered again. Forget it. I'll just pretend I don't know a thing since she didn't come to me and beg me. The current Jackson did not dare to provoke Kendall easily as he was really scared of her beating.

In the meantime, Kendall, who had no clue that Jackson was afraid of her, was intensely studying the situation of the company's operation.

I couldn't answer a lot of the questions asked by Mr. Dawson last time. Through studying this, I hope I'll be able to answer fluently and not give others a chance to laugh at me the next time I encounter such a situation.

Presently, Kendall had enrolled into Orapolis Etiquette Institution. Furthermore, she had to accompany Dylan to go for his rehabilitation. Her schedule was very tight, so she basically had no time to attend social engagements with her father. Additionally, she even had to spend twice the energy to study during the day if she ever wanted to handle the company's operation.

"Kendall, President Parker asks you to see him in the office," Jessie suddenly said to Kendall after she put down the phone.

"Oh, okay. Thank you, Miss Holmes." Kendall thanked Jessie. She stopped the work at hand, left the office, and headed toward the president's office.

Knocking on the door, Kendall only pushed the door and entered after receiving her father's consent.

"President Parker, you were looking for me?"

"Yes. Kendall, come over here and have a seat."

As Adam was still reviewing the documents, he did not look up.

A few minutes after Kendall came over and sat down, he closed the folder. Looking at Kendall, he asked gently, "Kendall, do you have any plans with Master Dylan tonight?"

"Yes. I plan to visit Mom at the hospital after getting off work. Then, I also want to go back to see Mother."

I need to treat the two mothers fairly, lest my biological mother feel that I only have my adoptive mother in my heart.

"Is Master Dylan accompanying you to the hospital?"

"Yeah."

"In that case, forget it."

"Father, is there anything that you need me to do? If it's important, I can go to the hospital another day to visit Mom."

Upon hearing that, Adam smiled. "It's not a big deal. It's just that I'll attend a social engagement tonight, and I was thinking of bringing you with me to increase your knowledge as well as experience. But it's okay. There are many opportunities. You should accompany Master Dylan to visit your Mom first and send my regards to her. After she was involved in a mishap, I'd always wanted to visit her but couldn't find the time to do so."

This was both an excuse and a fact.

After Kendall joined the company, she realized that as the president of the company, her father was extremely busy. He has a full schedule every day. Every day, Miss Holmes will begin to report the work to him from the moment he stepped out of the elevator.

Parker Corporation is far inferior to Coleman Empire Holdings. Daddy is already this busy. I can imagine how hectic Dylan is.

"How's things going with Prestige Electronics? What did Mr. Dawson say?"

"Although the competitiveness is very tight, there's still hope for our company. The price we quoted is not too high, and I have inquired about the quotations of other companies. Some of them are a few bucks higher than our company."

Upon hearing that, Adam hummed. "Prestige Electronics is owned by Coleman Empire Holdings. It's a company with promising capability, and the order volume for the company is large. In terms of quotation, we can lower the price slightly. If the price is low but the order volume is large, we can also make a good deal of profit. Of course, we can't make the price of the quotation too low as well. If it's too low, it'll not only be detrimental to ourselves, but it'll also affect our competitors."

Regardless, Parker Corporation can be considered a leader in the circuit board industry. If we set a very low price for our quotation, it'll be difficult for the competitors to raise the price, and we'll be hated by them.

Although two of a trade never agree, and sometimes there are even fights between rivals, they will also lower the quotation price in order to strike against each other. However, it'll be very difficult for us to raise the price when the other party backs down. Because as soon as we raise the price, the cooperating party will turn around and seek other competitors. What's worse, the cooperating party will choose to collaborate with them as long as the competitors offer a cent lower than our offer price.

This is harming others without benefiting ourselves.

"I have calculated our costs. The price we quoted is considered medium range, and there's still a way out for us."

It was Kelly who quoted the price. Through Kelly's quotation, combined with her father's teaching, Kendall understood a thing or two.

"What intention does Mr. Dawson have toward you?"

"He wishes for me to go by the unspoken rules. Kelly always asked me to go and negotiate privately with him."

Kendall was no fool. She knew Leonel fancied her at one glance. Likewise, Kelly knew, yet she pushed her to deal with him. Therefore, Kendall also knew what Kelly had in mind.

"You have to be careful. Since he has such thoughts, there's no guarantee that others will not follow his will to plot against you and offer you to him," Adam reminded his daughter.

"I know, Father. I'll be extra careful."

"Don't keep it to yourself if there's something, and just talk with Master Dylan. He can help you solve it."

"Father, if I can solve it by myself, I will solve it myself first. If it really doesn't work, I will try to find a way. If I still can't solve it even after I found a way, only then will I seek help from Dylan. I can't always rely on him for everything. Besides, he doesn't like seeing me in that way."

My man is treating me in a free-ranging state and letting me seethe into human society. Even if I writhed in injury, it's still a life experience that I accumulated. Since I plan to take over Parker Corporation, I have to adapt to the ups and downs of the business circles.
