Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385

Desmond wanted to ask someone to get the laxatives, but in the end, he decided to go and get them himself.

After Desmond left, Amelia hung out in the yard for a while until the madman in the mansion asked for her. With that, she went inside helplessly.

Frank was sketching again.

"Taylor, come and see if my family portrait looks good," he called out to Amelia, who pursed her lips, hesitating silently for a moment before going up to the madman eventually.

Naturally, Frank's family portrait consisted of him, Kendall, and the baby.

He had been working on it for a few nights and was now close to finishing it.

Amelia didn't know what to say as she looked at his so-called family portrait.

She had to admit that it was a pretty accurate sketch, for both he and Kendall were very life-like. The baby was adorable too, and she looked very much like a mini version of Kendall in terms of looks and temperament.

"You can take a picture of it and show it to Kendall or even Dylan." Frank put his pencil down and pulled his phone out to take a picture.

He was very content with this sketch of his. Kendall smiled brightly as she held their baby girl in her arms while nestling in his. One glance was all it took to know that she was happy to have married him.

"I can only do that if I have my phone with me," said Amelia plainly.

Frank had already taken a few pictures when he heard her words, and he shot her an icy glance. "Do you think I don't know that you've bought a new phone?"

Amelia fell silent at that.

The fact that he wouldn't return her bag, which contained her wallet, ID, and phone, made her exasperated and helpless.

Sure, she had gotten a new phone, but she had to borrow her brother's ID to buy a new mobile number.

"Kendall will never hear about this from me. Your sketch will only ruin her happiness and anger her if she sees it."

At that, he shot a sidelong glare at her, his eyes surging with anger.

Who'd have thought this woman was even more obstinate than he was!

She wouldn't yield no matter how he tortured her. Hell, she wouldn't even contact Kendall, let alone cry about her grievances to the latter.

She was truly a loyal friend. His Kendall sure had good taste in finding good friends.

Having said that, Amelia still pulled her new phone out to take a picture of the sketch. However, she hadn't done so to send it to Kendall or Dylan; she only wanted to admire Frank's artistic talent.

Meanwhile, Frank's eyes lit up upon seeing that she had taken a picture of the sketch.

Alas, neither imagined there would come a day when someone would beg Amelia to delete the picture.

(Oops, spoiler alert!)

Ring, ring, ring… Frank's ringtone suddenly sounded.

Frank checked it to find it was Chris, and lo and behold, he answered it in front of Amelia.

He wasn't sure why, but he trusted her very much. Perhaps her loyalty to Kendall had something to do with it, and he believed that she wouldn't disclose whatever she knew about him to others.

Amelia wasn't sure what Chris told Frank, but the latter replied monotonously, "Alright, I got it. Use this to bring Whittle Holdings, Caddel Corporation, and Zorn Holdings down."

Kendall told him their baby had died in the hands of Jackson and Kelly.

However, Kelly was in Parker Corporation, and Kendall was currently fighting Kelly for the succession to the company. Thus, he would spare Parker Corporation and let Kendall handle it instead. He trusted that Kendall could defeat Kelly, after all.

Heavens, hadn't what happened earlier that day proven that Kendall made a successful retaliation?

He would make sure the Whittles regretted ever messing with Kendall.

The Zorns had helped the Whittles, so they couldn't be spared either.

As for the Caddels, he would be merciful with them. He wouldn't tear Caddel Corporation down, doing just enough so that they would loathe Jackson.

Meanwhile, Amelia shrunk when she heard his intention of bringing the three companies down like it was no big deal. Could she say that he was being merciful for leaving Taylor Group out of the picture and only tortured her?

These big shots can really end someone with just a simple order!

To think about the number of people that would be out of work if Whittle Holdings and Caddel Corporation were declared bankrupt…

On the other hand, Amelia believed that Zorn Holdings could still hang on with how financially strong they were.

After hanging up, Frank turned to Amelia and fixed his soul-stirring eyes on her, making her look away rather guiltily moments after staring into his eyes.

Wait, what's even there for me to feel guilty about?

As much of a psychopath, madman, and obstinate villain he was, he was exasperatingly hot, and Amelia feared that she would accidentally get lost in his eyes.

Hell, she had a crush and had also declared that anyone who loved Frank was blind.

"Do you want to hear a joke, Amelia?"

"What joke?" Amelia asked out of curiosity.

"You know that Jackson and Krystal are holding a wedding banquet today, don't you?"

"I do. However, Jackson has no feelings for Krystal. That poor, foolish girl will one day regret her decision today."

"What's your impression of Kelly, then?"

"Aloof, competent, gorgeous, and a little snobbish. Anyhow, every time we meet at a party, she'd only greet me loftily and ignore me for good after I say hi. I only put up with her because she's Kendall's sister."

"But now, she's down in the mud. Haha, it serves her right!"

Kendall made a superb retaliation! I really want to get her something to congratulate her. What can I do, though? She won't accept any gifts I give her.

At that, his eyes lit up, and he decided to send it to Coleman Residence. No matter whether Kendall accepted it or not, it would be able to anger Dylan and also stir the Coleman elders. Once the elders cast Kendall out of their family, he could take her home.

"Take a look at the Orapolis news feed. Though there's a delay, the basic scoop's already out." Frank was evidently in seventh heaven.

Amelia went online and checked the Orapolis news feed, feeling doubtful.

"Sir." Just then, Desmond returned with a bottle of pills and said to Frank, "Sir, we've gotten the laxatives."

At that, Amelia looked silently at Frank.

Just when the two were interacting like friends, Desmond's appearance instantly pulled her back to reality.

There was no way she and Frank would ever become friends.

When Frank walked away, she thought the man had changed his mind, but who'd have thought he would reply to Desmond coldly, "Have her go home after you watch her down the entire bottle. I don't want her to soil my mansion."

Livid, she wanted to chuck a shoe at him. However, she didn't have the guts to do so.

"Yes, sir." Desmond obliged deferentially.

After Frank went upstairs, Desmond handed the bottle to Amelia and said with a smile, "Ms. Taylor, would you like to do it yourself, or shall I ask someone to pour it down your throat?"

"You really are a can of surströmming, Desmond—benign until opened!"

"Please forgive me, Ms. Taylor." Desmond smiled. "I'm just following orders."

With that, he deliberately lowered his voice. "You can go home right after eating them. Don't worry, you'll be fine. I've already swapped all the pills for calcium tablets."

Amelia blinked in response, unsure of whether to trust the man or not.

Desmond was most loyal to Frank. Would he dare go against any of Frank's orders?
