Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340

Kendall wasn't in a hurry to ask her friend what had happened. She allowed Amelia to take her time eating and drinking, lest the latter choked.

When Kendall noticed that scroll Amelia had brought in earlier, she picked it up from the table.

After unfurling the scroll and seeing its contents, Kendall was stunned.

It was her baby!

"Kendall." Amelia drank a cup of water and ate some desserts, relieving her hunger a little.

When she saw Kendall staring dumbfoundedly at the picture, she explained, "This was drawn by that pervert, Frank. This child looks a lot like you—no, that pervert drew it based on your looks. He even claimed that this is the daughter you have with him! It shocked me terribly. When I asked him when he had a child with you, he said the baby wasn't born yet. He even said that I'm your best friend, so I can be the child's godmother. Then, he just gave me this picture."

She added, "Kendall, Frank must be trying to snatch you from Dylan because of your relationship with him. That jerk and pervert! I never would've guessed that the head of the Mendelson Family would be out of his mind! Also, you beat him up, didn't you? He had bruises all over his body, and he even asked me to apply ointment on him. He even wanted me to take care of him for the time being because I'm your friend. You were the one who beat him up, so I'll have to compensate in your stead. It was such an effective threat that I was terribly shocked, even until now."

After Kendall listened to her friend's explanation, she slammed the table and stood up right away, determined to teach Frank a lesson.

Amelia grabbed her, and after swallowing the dessert in her mouth with great difficulty, she said, "Kendall, don't go to him. If you do, you'll be falling into his trap. He treated me like this so that you'd be forced to go and teach him a lesson. If you go, he'll definitely… He'll cause Dylan to misunderstand things between you and him. Even if Dylan believes you, do you think the other members of the Coleman Family will believe you?"

Kendall said in fury, "That crazy maniac! I should've beaten him up until he lost every single tooth and had to be hospitalized!"

"Calm down, Kendall." Amelia lightly patted Kendall on the chest. "Don't get angry. Since we know of his plots, we just have to escape his traps. He's doing everything he can in order to fight Dylan."

Before this, Frank couldn't grasp Dylan's weakness; now that Dylan was dating Kendall, she would be Dylan's weak spot.

Frank was a scheming man, so he wouldn't let this chance slip by. Naturally, he held onto Dylan's weakness in a death grip and began launching attacks on the man. As long as he could hurt Dylan, Frank would be overjoyed.

"Amy, he's too cunning and shameless. He could've taken everything up with me, but he used you to threaten me instead! That jerk!"

Kendall was furious, and at the same time, she felt guilty for getting her best friend involved.

Amelia grabbed an apple and began munching on it. As she ate, she analyzed, "I'm fine, so don't worry about me. The most he can do to me is to treat me like a servant and get me to slave away for some time. As long as you don't fall into his pit, he'll realize that he can't threaten you through me. He'll let me go soon enough."

Kendall knew her friend was right. However, her friend was suffering because of her. Kendall felt that she would be owing her friend too much if she didn't do anything about it.

Yet, if she really went to Frank, as per Amelia's words, Frank might do something to her. Frank had said before that he'll get Kendall to divorce Dylan and marry him.

He would do anything to achieve his goals, so he might actually force himself on her, then take this opportunity to separate her from Dylan. It would hurt Dylan greatly, and his own wishes would come true.

Kendall remembered how Frank had taken advantage of her while sober in her past life, but he abandoned her in the end, causing the baby to fall to her death. Kendall was immediately consumed by a deep hatred toward Frank.

"Amy…"

"Kendall, you don't have to feel bad about me. We're best friends. I can help you evade danger while keeping myself safe. I won't blame you."

Frank would only be asking her to do his bidding, so she just had to persevere before it became history.

"Kendall, we have to stay strong. You can only save me by hardening your heart and leaving me alone."

Kendall took Amelia's hand, saying both in regret and gratitude, "Amy, I'm so sorry for getting you involved in this. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me."

This friend of hers was worth the friendship.

"No need for thanks. We're friends, so it's no big deal. You don't have to keep thanking me."

Amelia took another bite of the apple. After swallowing it, she grinned and said, "If you really want to thank me, get Dylan to lend you someone and bring them along when we meet. That'll be enough."

Ronnie? Kendall asked her straight away, "Amy, have you fallen for Ronnie?"

Amelia wasn't embarrassed as she nodded and said, "I am interested in him, and perhaps I really have fallen for him. I don't know how things will play out in the future, though."

This was her first time being interested in a man.

"Amy, Ronnie is—"

"Dylan's bodyguard, I know. I won't complain about his line of work. As long as it's legal, no matter what profession it may be, I won't ever complain about it. Moreover, Dylan's bodyguards are no laughing matter either. My parents aren't very particular about social status, so they probably won't be against the idea."

Amelia thought that her friend was worried that Ronnie wouldn't be a great match for her in social terms.

She definitely wouldn't be disappointed that Ronnie was only a bodyguard of Dylan's.

All professions should be treated with the same respect, after all.

"Amy, I'm not talking about social status. When you asked Dylan and I to a meal last time, I more or less guessed the truth. I asked Dylan about it before, and he said that even though Ronnie is his bodyguard, he's actually from a good background. Ronnie decided to be Dylan's bodyguard because he's skilled in fighting, and he likes being a bodyguard. Also, Dylan said that he had saved Ronnie's life before, so Ronnie became his bodyguard to repay his kindness."

Hearing that, Amelia's eyes lit up as she smiled and said, "I never thought the man I'm interested in is so mysterious. That's even better. If I really fall in love with him, I won't have to worry about my parents protesting our relationship. Kendall, can you help me ask more about him? I want to know more about Ronnie's family situation. For starters, what's his real name?"

Kendall hadn't asked about Ronnie's real name. "Do you really intend to take things further with Ronnie?"

"I am very interested in him right now. When we meet more often and spend more time with each other, I'll see how he thinks of me. If he's also interested, then I'll take things further with him. If he doesn't feel anything toward me, I'll just forget about it. I'll treat him as a pretty landscape painting hanging on the wall, and I can admire him when I miss him."

Amelia wanted her relationships to be reciprocal instead of one-sided. If Ronnie didn't feel anything special toward her, she wouldn't pester him even if she really liked him.

She was willing to take it up, so similarly, she could let it go.

Seeing her friend's earnest look, Kendall said, "I'll ask in more detail for you. When we meet up in the future, I'll always bring Ronnie along so that you two can have more time together. Let's see if there's any chemistry between you."
