Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 393

Chapter 393

Kelly looked up sharply with big, teary eyes. She lowered her voice, asking, "Brian, do you have any evidence of that? If she was behind this, then how did she get her hands on the video?"

Brian was unwilling to think about the video. In that video, Kelly wasn't her usual virtuous and dignified self; she was so licentious that it broke his heart. "I don't have any evidence of that," he replied in a deep voice. "I guessed it."

Kelly was greatly disappointed; she had thought that Brian had evidence to help her prove it was Kendall who had gotten her into this state.

"You have no enemies, but that incident seems to be aimed at you with the intention of ruining your reputation. I can't think of anyone other than Kendall who would wish for your downfall," Brian explained as he analyzed the situation. Then, he continued, "She is the Parkers' biological daughter, but she doesn't have the ability to take over the Parker Corporation. However, she fears that you'll take over the company, so she wants to ruin your reputation. It'll be good for her if you become a person hated by everyone. Even if we have no evidence, we can point the finger at her as the mastermind behind this. Don't forget who she is now. She's got Master Dylan at her back. Only he has the ability to destroy all evidence so that no one can find out who the culprit was."

After listening to Brian's analysis, Kelly also thought that Kendall was the mastermind behind this. However, they couldn't do anything as they had no evidence. "I don't care who she is right now." Her eyes blazed with venom. "If she really was behind this, I'd give her a taste of what I feel like right now—no, I'd make her feel even more miserable than I do!" Suddenly, she grabbed Brian's hand. "Brian," she said tearfully, "I know that you're nice to me. It's my fault for having poor judgment… No, I was tricked by Jackson. He drugged me, which was why I… He tricked me into this. Brian, could you help me? You're the only person who could help me now."

Instead of withdrawing his hand from hers, Brian sat down on the edge of the bed. His heart still twinged painfully as he looked at her teary face. "Jackson drugged you?" There was anger and hatred in his eyes. I knew it. Kelly is such a wonderful girl. How could she possibly do that kind of thing? Turns out that Jackson drugged her and tricked her into this. "Do you still have the evidence? If you do, you have to show the evidence online right now. The people have discerning eyes. Once they see the evidence you posted, they won't keep siding with Jackson. He's shifting the blame onto you on the internet."

Kelly's countenance changed. Having known Jackson for so many years, she had sincerely loved him. In the end, however, he shifted all the blame onto her. It was too selfish of him to only take his own future into consideration without sparing a moment to think about her.

At this very moment, Kelly was really filled with regret. She regretted having treated Jackson as a close partner. She had consulted with him about everything she had done and planned against Kendall. As he knew too many things, now she had to be cautious and was unable to fight back with all her might. "I have no evidence of that. Jackson has security cameras installed at home, but he definitely wouldn't keep the security footage until now." She had been plotting against Kendall all this while, but little did she think she'd become the target of the cruelest and most elaborate plot one day.

Brian changed the subject, though. "Tell me the truth, Kelly. Do you really love Jackson?"

"Brian, I… I used to love him very, very much."

Brian had to clutch the sheets tightly to suppress his violent urges. "If you loved him so much, why did you let him go out with Kendall? Kendall was so crazy about him in the past, whereas you said at the time that he and you were buddies. Yasmine said that Kendall had only fallen madly in love with Jackson because you had often spoken favorably of him in front of her and helped create opportunities for them. Kelly, have you and Jackson been planning some conspiracy together from the start?"

As expected of the son of the Zorn Family. There are no fools in the business world, thought Kelly.

"You didn't seem drugged in that video. You two didn't even eat anything. As soon as you met up with him, you two…" The more Brian spoke, the more bitterly disappointed he was. There was no drugging involved. Even now, Kelly is still unwilling to open her heart to me. She's still lying to me. Is she still treating me as a rebound? She's relying on my love for her, as well as the fact that I'm too busy to put my work aside and chase after her, unlike others who prioritize their love lives above all else. Is that why she's been thinking of me as a backup?

"Brian, I…" Kelly panicked somewhat. Not knowing how to explain herself, she could only hold Brian's hand in a tight grasp. She couldn't let Brian leave her. He was a clever person who outshone Jackson in every aspect. Moreover, Zorn Holdings was among the largest conglomerates of the city, so he could be very helpful to her.

After taking a few deep breaths, Brian softened his voice, saying, "Kelly, my mind is in a whirl right now. You're not feeling well either, so why don't you have a good rest while I spend some time alone? We'll talk when you get better." After a moment's pause, he promised, "Nothing will change about the collaboration we previously agreed on."

They had previously agreed to work together to render the Parker Corporation an empty shell.

Now that something like this had happened to Kelly, Adam and Charlotte would definitely be very disappointed with her. Moreover, Kendall was no longer the person she used to be, so Adam would definitely hand the Parker Corporation over to her. Brian had always found Kendall an eyesore, so he agreed to make the Parker Corporation an empty shell and split the profits fifty-fifty between him and Kelly.

If Kendall didn't want the Parker Corporation to go bankrupt, she'd definitely ask Dylan for help. Dylan was a doting husband, so he'd throw a lot of money into saving the company. However, the Parker Corporation was such a large corporation that it would take an astronomical sum of money to save it. However strong Coleman Empire Holdings was financially, it'd be inevitably affected. By then, Zorn Holdings would absolutely be able to inflict heavy losses on the company by teaming up with the Mendelson Group. If the Coleman Empire Holdings got hurt, the Colemans would have objections against Dylan being the one who called the shots in the family. Also, they'd loathe Kendall for being the Young Mistress of the Coleman Family. Therefore, even if Kelly had an affair with Jackson and got pregnant with the latter's baby, he wouldn't give up working with her to set a trap for the Parker Corporation because of that.

Withdrawing his hand from Kelly's, Brian stood up and stared at her tummy for a moment with his lips pressed together. In the end, however, he turned around and left without saying another word.

Kelly opened her mouth in an attempt to call out to him, but she couldn't get a word out after opening her mouth. The news of her love affair with Jackson and her hospitalization due to a threatened miscarriage were a double whammy for him. What right did she have to ask him to stay and keep her company?

Brian walked to the door. Putting his hand on the door knob, he looked back and said to her, "Kelly, I'm willing to accept you… if only you'll abort the baby and give up on Jackson." Everyone had a past, but he loved her enough to forgive her past. As long as she was willing to get over Jackson and abort his baby, he would forget about her past and accept her.
