She had no choice but to abort the child for her future, ambition, and her unwillingness to throw in the towel at this moment.
She was still young, so she could still get pregnant again.
She would be drowning in regrets if she lost everything she had now.
"Kendall Parker, even if you have Master Dylan supporting you, I'm not going to give in! So just wait and see!"
Once she proved that Kendall was actually a fake, that would naturally lead to Kendall's downfall. By then, she only needed to wait to reap the benefits.
Once Kendall's true colors were shown, the Colemans would definitely not be able to tolerate her.
Dylan would also be disappointed in her for deceiving him, for her deep schemes.
…
Two black and heavily tinted sedans drove into Coleman Empire Holdings and were parked at the visitors' parking lots.
Immediately, the driver got out and opened the door for the person in the back seat.
Benjamin, who was dressed in a suit, got down from the car.
At the same time, four bodyguards instantly appeared behind him as they left the other car.
After he got out of the car, he looked up at the 68-story office building in front of him. He really wanted to make this building his!
As the sun in the sky dazzled, Benjamin quickly lowered his head to shade his eyes from the sun.
Then, he began to walk into the building with the four bodyguards silently following behind him.
Benjamin was the president of Zorn Holdings. While Zorn Holdings and Coleman Empire Holdings used to have a good relationship, they were now walking on thin ice. The Coleman Empire Holdings were aiming to suppress Zorn Holdings.
However, it was still easier for Benjamin to meet Dylan than most people. After informing a few people, Benjamin could easily head up to Dylan's office without making an appointment and waiting like everyone else.
Ronnie and some men who stood guard outside Dylan's office naturally stopped Benjamin's bodyguards from following him into Dylan's office.
"You guys wait outside."
Benjamin knew Dylan's rules and instructed his bodyguards to back down. Finally, under the guidance of Emma, he headed into Dylan's office.
Dylan was on the phone when Benjamin walked in.
When Benjamin saw the usual cold look on Dylan's face softening, he deduced that Dylan was on the phone with Kendall.
Although Benjamin had been trying to convince his sister to let Dylan go and focus on Frank, seeing how Dylan acted toward Kendall with his own eyes made Benjamin feel uncomfortable. Was his sister, the apple of his eye, not as good as Kendall?
"Honestly, Dylan, there's nothing urgent for me to call you about. I'm just in a good mood, and I can't help but want to hear your voice," Kendall said with a smile as she talked through the phone. "Your voice is music to my ears. I think I might have fallen for you just by hearing your voice."
"I didn't know you had a voice kink," Dylan answered gently. "What puts you in such a good mood?"
"Just something good. You just have to know that your wife is currently in a good mood. So, Dylan, let's have lunch together. I'll pick you up."
"Apart from the days you've made plans with other people, when will I ever say no to eating with you?" He said dotingly.
He rarely rejected her for other people, while she would often put others before him.
"My husband is the best! I love my husband so much! My love for you is—"
It was a lot of bullsh*t that Kendall was sprouting.
Still, Dylan was used to it.
He didn't even bother to stop her as she kept droning on.
Nevertheless, he couldn't hide the smile on his face as he listened to her. It was only natural for Benjamin to catch a glimpse of that smile, which disappointed him even more.
"Dylan, I've missed you. Do you miss me?"
"You're asking questions when you already know the answer. You know how precious my time is, yet, I would drop everything just to accompany you when you call."
He wouldn't have been so tolerant of her if he didn't want or love her.
Kendall giggled at his indirect confession and her laughter affected Dylan while warmth spread through his heart.
"I'm satisfied for now! Dylan, work hard and earn more money for your wife so I can pamper myself. I will also work hard and earn more money so my precious husband can spend my money whenever he wants to."
"Give me a kiss."
Kendall puckered her lips at the phone before hanging up with a smile.
This woman could effortlessly stir Dylan's heart and sweep his fatigue away.
With her, no matter how tired he was, he felt that it was all worth it in the end.
After he placed his phone away, he looked up at Benjamin, who had already sat across from him. Then, just like magic, Dylan's face quickly returned to his usual indifferent look.
Even the tenderness on his brows had disappeared without a trace.
This was as expected from him. He had iron-clad control over his emotions.
This was a trait that Benjamin admired.
"Why are you here?" Dylan's voice was low and cold as he questioned Benjamin.
Dylan and Benjamin had known each other since they were children. So although they weren't friends, they were familiar with each other.
"It seems like Master Dylan gets along very well with the second daughter of the Parker Family." Benjamin did not answer Dylan's question.
This seemed to make Dylan's expression turn colder as he warned, "Benjamin, if you're here to dig into the affairs between my wife and me, please leave and stop wasting my time."
"I can't even say anything," Benjamin grumbled.
"It's none of your business. What do you have to say about it?"
"Maybe because…I might be your uncle."
"I can look past Yasmin's delusions, but for the president of Zorn Holdings to be a dreamer like this, you should be careful before you pull the Zorns down with you," Dylan snapped coldly.
He had never loved Yasmin, nor did he make any promises toward her.
It had always been the Zorns' wishful thinking. His own family played a role in it as well.
After all, Yasmin was the only one worthy of him in Orapolis.
"Fine, I've misspoken. Don't be angry," Benjamin said.
The one who gave up on Dylan was Benjamin's sister.
Anything that he said now was useless. He sat upright and looked Dylan in the eyes as he asked, "Master Dylan, are you taking revenge on behalf of your wife's family?"
"So what if I am?"
When Benjamin heard Dylan's blunt reply, it nearly made him choke.
Parker Corporation belonged to Dylan's wife. Zorn Holdings had targeted Parker Corporation and took the project that was supposed to be theirs, making Parker Corporation suffer some losses. It was customary for Dylan to bite back on behalf of his father-in-law.
"Master Dylan." Benjamin smiled and continued, "I wasn't aware before this, but now that I know, there's still no way for me to go back in time and change things. Although our families aren't considered friends, we're still at peace with each other. We have known each other since we were young. Although we aren't friends, we're still very familiar with each other. Zorn Holdings has never meant to go against Coleman Empire Holdings. Can you…cease-fire?"
Then, he continued to assure Dylan, "I promise I won't go after Parker Corporation again."
Now, while Zorn Holdings was still not strong enough to defeat Coleman Empire Holdings, Benjamin would not risk targeting the Parker Corporation again.
"Benjamin, I find that it is quite rewarding to intercept other people's projects halfway through. It is also beneficial for the company. What if I don't want to stop?"
Dylan's words almost made Benjamin spit out a mouthful of blood in anger.
"It's no wonder you like to get in the way of my father-in-law's plans so much."
Benjamin felt utterly at the mercy of Dylan once he made that statement.
At the end of the day, Dylan's revenge toward the Zorns was on behalf of the Parker Family.
Now, the Zorns were being attacked from both ends.
Coleman Empire Holdings and Mendelson Group were coming at Zorn Holdings full force.
Nevertheless, when Benjamin came to pay Dylan a visit, he was still willing to give him the time of day.
When Benjamin went to look for Frank at the Mendelson Group, that b*stard did not show him any respect and refused to meet him at all.
This made him furious!
