Just like Yoseph, who had always tried to avoid Jane, came to her rescue whenever something bad happened to her; he was always the first one to come to her aid.
"All you have to do is throw him down, strip him naked, and sleep with him. You can then flee with the baby in your belly, let him chase after you and experience suffering."
Everyone was deafeningly quiet to her 'solution'.
"Miss Morris' temper appeals to me greatly. Can we be friends despite the fact that I'm only an office worker?" Emma joked.
"I am willing to be friends with you even if you are picking up trash on the street." Jane continued without hesitation, "You are now my friend as of today. I'll look after you. Whoever dares to bully you, they'll get a taste from me."
"Kendall, don't let Jane lead you astray." Alice dragged Kendall aside and reminded her.
"Otherwise, Dylan will skin Jane alive, which will enrage Yoseph."
"Miss Morris is quite forthright." Kendall laughed.
"She's bold and cool, but she's also physically strong. Didn't you notice Yoseph avoiding her as he approached the racetrack?"
At the mention of him, Kendall realized that she had not caught sight of him.
She wished she could say that she was strong as well, but she was not Dylan's opponent and she was hesitant to fight him. She did, however, have thick thighs. Who will be cruel enough to pinch my thick thighs?
"You had some experience, Kendall. You can teach Emma a few tricks so that after she steals Toddy's heart, she can ghost him and leave him to suffer alone. Otherwise, her early grievances will be in vain."
"Well… It's true that I have some experience, but I don't have any tricks."
She won his heart through being shameless and Dylan happened to be cooperative.
"How did you make Master Dylan fall for you?"
Flushed, Kendall was embarrassed to say it. It was her and Dylan's love story in the bedroom, so she refused to share it.
Being the thoughtful one, Emma stated, "Miss Kendall and President Coleman simply let nature take its course. Furthermore, each couple has their own way of communicating."
She remembered Dylan receiving each of the twelve horoscope signs plushies every three to five weeks. Despite the fact that they were merely miscellaneous, they were all very delicate and realistic, which captured the heart of the president.
His desk was about to be overrun with horoscope toys.
Whether it was the senior management or customers, they were all curious about the handmade toys on Dylan's desk. However, he was absolutely stingy; even Toddy was not allowed to touch them.
Rumors had it that Kendall was the one who crafted these gifts for Dylan.
On the other hand, Jane recalled her adversarial relationship with Yoseph. Her grandmother used to dismiss her beauty as meaningless because she did not act like a 'woman'. Despite her feelings for him, she was behaving as if he were a mortal foe, which irritated her grandmother.
Ironically, that was precisely how she and Yoseph got along.
It was nearly impossible for them to be as sweet as Dylan and Kendall.
"I always assumed that Young Master Dylan was not easily swayed. I now understand why—he had not met Kendall. For many years, he had been a bachelor, waiting for his one and only love. When Kendall appears, he is completely smitten."
Hearing that, Jane exhaled a sigh. She was away and missed out on a lot of great dramas, especially the one with how Dylan fell for Kendall, which was a major regret.
"We're destined," Kendall said, smiling.
"It's enviable to see you smile so sweetly."
"Kendall, you need to stop smiling at us like this. If Dylan finds out, I'm afraid he'll blindfold us so that we can't see your lovely smile." Alice cracked a joke.
Indeed, Dylan was extremely dominant and possessive.
"Yes! He will be jealous of us even though we're women," added Jane.
Emma nodded in agreement as well.
They were all familiar with Dylan's personality.
To that, Kendall was unable to refute the three girls' mockery.
After changing into their proper attire, they went to choose their horses.
"Hello, Kendall and Ally." A young man stood in front of the stables, clearly expecting them.
It was none other than Robert Coleman, the man in charge of Coleman's racetrack. He was waiting for his brothers outside the racetrack when he arrived and Dylan had introduced him to Kendall.
"Hi, Robert," Alice greeted him while Kendall gave him a smile.
"Ally, your usual ride has been brought out for you. Right there."
"Have you been on a diet recently? You appear to have lost some weight," Robert commented, gently pinching Alice's cheek.
"I'm trying to slim down." She was fine with him pinching her face because it did not hurt.
After all, they were the ones who had her wrapped around their little fingers. They would be caring for her if she lost a strand of hair, so why would they hurt her?
"Why are you trying to lose weight? You are slim enough though. No more of that diet; you must eat well!" Robert advised solemnly.
"If I gain weight, Robert, I won't be able to marry."
"If you can't get married, then don't! I'll look after you for the rest of your life!" he assured domineeringly.
Jane quietly nudged Kendall, who turned to look at her before she whispered, "No one in the entire Orapolis dares to marry Alice. It's as difficult as moon-landing for her to marry."
There were fifteen uncles in total!
Kendall and Jane exchanged glances. Haha! She has the same thought as I did. Kendall was growing fond of her future sister-in-law.
"I have foreseen my future and I'll be living the life of a spinster," Alice expressed while laughing.
"You have fifteen brothers… What are you afraid of?" asked Robert.
He was also apprehensive about marrying off his younger sister, who was only twenty-three years old.
The thought of having a future brother-in-law who would take his precious cousin away made Robert want to punch someone.
"I'm going to lead my horse, Robert." Alice noticed his expression and realized he was thinking about her marriage.
Though she was twenty-three years old this year, she had not even begun her first love. No one dared to pursue her, but she had a crush on a boy in college who was eventually discovered by her brothers. Her brothers went in search of the boy for questioning, which sufficiently frightened him… since it was a one-sided love.
Alice no longer dared to have feelings for guys after learning that her college crush was being intimidated by her brothers because she was afraid that her fifteen protective brothers would cause trouble with her crushes.
"The horses are all tied there and you can pick them yourself," Robert said gently to Jane and Emma after Alice walked away.
Subsequently, Jane dragged Emma away, leaving Kendall all alone.
"Dylan has appointed Shaunie as your horse, Kendall. Let me go get it for you. Shaunie is very tame."
Robert was waiting here because Dylan had instructed him to find the gentlest horse for his sister-in-law.
Despite being the general manager in charge of the racetrack, he knew the temperament of every horse here because he adored them.
"I'm… okay at riding," said Kendall.
Shaunie… She could tell by the horse's name that it was gentle.
