Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 207

Chapter 206

They had no choice, though, because Dylan was the one in charge of the family. Although their sons were also the Young Masters of the Coleman Family, they relied on Dylan for their livelihoods.

"Kendall Parker, even if Dylan's extremely protective of you, that doesn't give you any right to disregard us!" Emily was angered by Kendall's words.

As for Tilly, she remained silent from the start and watched the debacle. She was determined to behave as a kindly old lady. After all, she had her five daughters-in-law there to represent her in the battle and they were all Dylan's elders too so even if Dylan was upset, he couldn't possibly do anything to his elders.

"Mom, I'm not trying to disregard all of you here. I'm just stating the facts and trying to be reasonable here."

"Hmph. That's not my concern. Whatever it is, if you wish to continue being the Young Mistress of the Coleman Family, then you have to resign. If you don't resign, I'll contact your father personally to proceed with the resignation procedure on your behalf. Otherwise, you should file for a divorce with Dylan." Emily had a firm stance.

"Mom, do you reckon that I, your son, would be able to marry another wife as great as Kendall after the divorce?" Dylan's cold voice rang out from the doorway and soon enough, he slowly wheeled himself into the room in his wheelchair.

His bodyguards remained outside and he even rejected Alice's offer to wheel him inside because he didn't want the elders to blame Alice afterward. He was able to protect his woman and he didn't need the help of others.

"Dylan," Emily's voice broke as she called out his name. Dylan was her most impressive eldest son yet his life was ruined by the traffic accident. Even though the person behind the wheels responsible for the traffic accident had perished in the accident, Emily remained quite resentful toward the person.

At that moment, Dylan stepped forward and stood next to Kendall.

He scanned the room and glanced coldly at each of the elders in the room before speaking in a low voice, "The person that Kendall married to me and I have no issues at all with her. She's my companion for life. If Mom or any of the aunts here find her an eyesore, you guys can choose to ignore her next time you see each other. I gave Kendall permission to work. After all, the women who married into our family are expected to stay home and care for their husband and kids but Kendall won't have any kids to care for. The only thing I can do is to find something to keep her occupied so that her life doesn't get too boring. The women of our family get a reward of a hundred million if they bear a son and five hundred million if they bear a daughter. However, Kendall won't be eligible for the reward. That's why I gave her permission to work and earn some money. Do you guys have any issues with that?"

"Dylan…" Instantly, Emily's face turned pale from the heartache she felt. "Dylan, stop it. I'll stop making life tough for her. Stop saying that. You'll definitely get better. I know you'll definitely improve." He had agreed to proceeding with physiotherapy, so he would surely be able to walk on his feet in no time.

"Dylan." Kendall's heart ached for him too. After all, she was clearly aware of his high self-esteem and by him saying all that, he was essentially exposing his shortfalls to everyone. For a man, that was an extremely torturing thing.

"Mom, do you still insist on tendering a resignation on Kendall's behalf?"

At that moment, Emily hastily replied, "No, I won't."

"Mom, do you still insist on making me and Kendall get a divorce? I'm in such a state, so do you think that I would be able to get another person to marry me after the divorce? Mom and aunts, you guys should really show your appreciation to Kendall. With me in such a state, even Yasmine, who used to be infatuated with me, gave up on me. If Kendall hadn't agreed to marry me then I would have to live with being forever alone. Although we're just a married couple on paper, we're both very comfortable with each other spiritually, so I feel very happy with my life right now. Don't you guys wish to see me happy?"

"Dylan, we would wish to see you happy of course."

"Yes, that's right."

The other mistresses hurriedly expressed their opinion. After all, they were merely jealous of Kendall for being exempted from adhering to the Colemans' family rules.

At that moment, Emily spoke up with a slightly pained expression, "Dylan, it's all my fault. I'll stop all this. I won't force her to get a divorce with you. Stop mentioning all this. Your words are like a sharp blade and it hurts very much to hear that. I can't bear it."

Mom, I know that you care for your kids very much but Kendall's someone else's daughter too. If my mother-in-law saw the way that you treated Kendall earlier, she would definitely feel the pain too."

Dylan looked at his mother calmly and replied, "Mom, you should try to put yourself in her shoes. After all, you have a daughter too."

Emily was rendered speechless.

Subsequently, Dylan held Kendall's hand in his and glanced at Tilly, who had maintained her silence all this while. He spoke calmly, "Grandma, I don't wish for the same thing today to happen again. If you guys definitely can't tolerate Kendall, I'll move out of Coleman Mansion with Kendall. I won't step foot into this place from now on."

"Dylan!" Tilly's expression turned instantly.

Dylan glanced at Kendall lovingly and said, "Kendall has mentioned to me before that she doesn't mind where we live as long as I'm there with her because that will be home for us. I feel the same way too. Wherever Kendall is, that would be where home is for me."

Everyone present found his words quite loving and touching but as his family members, they weren't too comfortable about that.

Meanwhile, he paid no heed to the elders' feelings and he spoke tenderly, "Kendall, wheel me outside. It's time for both of us to head to work. We wouldn't want to be late for work."

Kendall glanced at him with a touched expression and then she bent down to give him a hug in front of the others before kissing him tenderly.

After ending the kiss, she spoke softly in his ears, "Darling, thank you. I'm so lucky to have you." She hoped to be able to remain married to him forever and ever. Subsequently, she turned around and went behind him to wheel him out of the room.

The six women left in the room watched silently at the couple's retreating back and there were complicated expressions on their faces.

After quite some time, Tilly heaved a sigh and turned to her daughters-in-law, "Dylan's clearly expressed his views so from now on, we should stop interfering in their matters as much as possible." After all, she didn't want her grandson to leave Coleman Residence.

Emily was angered, upset and yet resigned to the situation, "I don't even know what sort of spell Kendall cast on Dylan to make him so blindly infatuated with him. Mom, do you think that Kendall's possessed by an evil spirit? She didn't used to behave this way, so she must be possessed for Dylan to side with her so much."

Tilly glared at her. "Then, how about you get an exorcist to deal with her?"

Emily's mouth was slightly agape as she opened and shut her mouth several times but she didn't say anything in the end. She was quite keen to do so but she knew that she shouldn't. If word got out about her actions, the Coleman Family's reputation would be tarnished. One of the family rules that applied to the Coleman womenfolk was that they were not allowed to do anything that could tarnish the Coleman Family's reputation.

"There has indeed been a huge change in Kendall's personality from before but since she's moved into the mansion, she has been sincere toward Dylan. She has been able to cheer Dylan up and he agreed to undergo physiotherapy because of her too." Tilly had been keeping a close eye on Kendall and although she disliked Kendall, it was undeniable that Kendall had her good side.

After a moment of silence, Tilly continued, "Let's wait and discuss this after Dylan regains his mobility."

Everyone nodded.

"Alright, you guys should go back. It's been tough on you guys too for having to come over to my place so early in the morning." Tilly indicated for them to return to their respective houses.

Julie led the group and walked out of the main house. Once the hall was left with just Tilly and Emily, Tilly turned to Emily and said, "Arrange for someone to keep a close eye on Kendall secretly. If she is found to be in close contact with any males, take photos of them as evidence. Once Dylan regains his mobility, we can deal with her after that."
