Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 394

Chapter 394

Kelly burst into tears again. I'm not as straightforward as Kendall is when it comes to relationships. How could I have chosen to go out with an *sshole instead of such a nice guy?

"I won't be imposing myself on you, so take your time to think about it."

"Brian, if I abort the baby and stay away from Jackson, will you marry me?" Kelly asked.

Brian fell silent for a moment. Then, he replied, "I'll try my best to persuade my family to give you a place within my family."

Kelly turned her teary face away without saying a word. Brian meant that if the Zorns were to object to him marrying her, he'd only be able to keep her as a mistress.

Brian pulled the door open and stepped out.

He hadn't walked far when he ran into Kendall, who came to bring tonic soup to Sally. Dylan wasn't behind her, but he dared not be careless as Dylan had arranged for her to be under close protection.

He wouldn't mess with this woman for now. And besides, Benjamin had repeatedly told him and Yasmine not to cross Kendall or pick on the Parker Corporation for the time being. Therefore, he'd restrain himself for the sake of his family's future.

Kendall was with Sally.

The mother and daughter chatted as they came over. Upon seeing Brian, Kendall stopped in her tracks.

Brian stopped in his tracks, too.

After eyeing him with scrutiny, Kendall said impassively, "One might as well say that you're devoted to Kelly, Brian. Unluckily for her, the father of her baby didn't say anything in her defense at this time. Instead, he shifted all the blame onto her. On the other hand, you could insist on coming to visit her despite the media's attention."

Brian had also loved Kelly very much in Kendall's previous life. In fact, it was exactly because of his presence that Kendall had always believed Kelly's words and thought that the latter and Jackson were just friends. Only in her dying moments did she learn that what Kelly wanted wasn't to be Brian's wife but Jackson's. However, she lost her freedom and was imprisoned in the Whittle Residence after marrying Jackson early. Therefore, she didn't know what role Brian had played in Kelly's scheme and how much effort he had put in.

In her current life, however, she finally confronted Kelly head-on, which gave her more opportunities to come into contact with Brian. As a result, she came to know him better. Not only was he crazy about Kelly, but he was also a clever and ruthless man. Seems like few are soft-hearted in their circle. They greet everyone with a smile on their faces, but they're craftier than one another. As businessmen, they're treacherous at heart. Master Dylan has always said that I'm not cruel enough.

Brian replied sadly, "I didn't do enough, nor was I good enough. That's why Kelly didn't choose me." Then, he swore severely, "Jackson's an *sshole!"

The instant the video was made public, he went home and told Benjamin to end their collaboration with Whittle Holdings. He wanted to make the company go bankrupt and strip Jackson of everything so that the latter could no longer ride on Zorn Holdings' coattails. Yasmine also agreed with him, but Benjamin said that he had to think about it. It seemed that Benjamin didn't intend to listen to him. After all, the collaboration with Whittle Holdings would bring Zorn Holdings enormous profits and provide the latter with one more ally.

As the head of the family, Benjamin wouldn't act on impulse as he did. He had to take Zorn Holdings' interests and future into consideration.

Kendall replied, "He's an *sshole indeed. Brian, you've got to avenge Kelly. She and I are the only children in our family. Now she's gotten into trouble, but I can't beat Jackson up even if I want to. I'm only a lady, after all."

If Jackson were to hear this, he'd probably think, Who was it that beat the crap out of me the other day?

Then, recalling Nelson and Roger, she added with a sigh, "Nelson and Roger wanted to avenge Kelly, but she told them not to meddle in her affairs. She's still defending Jackson even now." She let out another heavy sigh. "Sigh… She and Jackson were taken to the police station at the time because of the affair. As a result, my dad got pissed off as he had to pick her up at the police station in the middle of the night. He urged her to stay away from Jackson, but she refused, telling my parents to keep their noses out of her affairs. Now that she's pregnant, she insists on giving birth to the baby. Brian, your sister is best friends with Kelly. Even though she was pissed off yesterday, she wouldn't forsake Kelly after years of friendship, right? Please ask her to advise Kelly. How could she keep on being Jackson's mistress now that she's already in such a state?"

Brian's face darkened even more as he listened to Kendall's words. She seemed to be defending Kelly, but in reality, she broke his heart by revealing to him how much Kelly cared about Jackson. This woman is no longer the country bumpkin who followed Kelly around in silence. "Young Mistress Coleman, I gotta go first," he said in a whisper. After giving Sally a nod, he brushed past the mother and daughter and quickly went on ahead.

Kendall sneered.

"Kendall," Sally suddenly asked, "were Kelly and that guy taken to the police station at the time?"

Kendall nodded before giving a brief account of what had happened.

Sally fell silent for a long time before taking the thermos food jar from Kendall. Forcing a smile with much difficulty, she said to the latter, "Kendall, Kelly is in a bad mood at this time, so you'd better not go inside. Just give me the tonic soup. I'll finish it. Didn't you say you're going shopping with your mother-in-law later? I know that she's very dissatisfied with you, so don't go back on what you've promised her lest she dislike you even more." She could tell during the meeting with Dylan's parents that Emily looked down on her family.

"Remember to finish the soup while it's still hot, Mom. Say, where's Nell?"

"He went out for some fresh air." Nell was so angry with Kelly that he'd go crazy if he didn't go out to get some fresh air, thought Sally. "He'll be back soon, so don't worry. And besides, Ms. Morrison is still here. Just go and spend time with your mother-in-law. I'll only rest assured if you're doing well." She couldn't meddle in her own daughter's affairs as the latter wouldn't listen to her advice. On the other hand, her adopted daughter was willing to listen to her.

At Sally's insistence, Kendall didn't enter the ward in the end.

Sally watched Kendall leave for a long time without saying a word. The words Kendall had said to Brian let her know that Kelly had only herself to blame for her current predicament. Even so, Kelly still wanted Kendall to ask Dylan to step in and deal with the matter by warning the media outlets. All of a sudden, she didn't want to drag Kendall into this. Kelly is already a grown-up, so she has to learn her lessons and bear the consequences for whatever she does.

Just then, her cell phone beeped with an incoming message.

She took out her cell phone and opened the new message with her free hand. It was a notification saying that Kendall had wired 50,000 to her via PayPal.

Kendall also sent her a voice message, saying, "Mom, use the money to buy some nutritional supplements for yourself. Don't skimp on it; your health matters more than anything else."

Sally didn't accept the money, though. Instead, she sent Kendall a voice message in response, saying, "The medicinal supplements that you bought for me last time, I still have a lot of them. Also, you don't have to keep wiring money to me. I haven't finished spending the money you gave me, so I'm not short of cash at the moment." Whenever Kendall wired money to her, she'd wire her at least 50,000 every single time. Not only that, but Kendall would wire money to her at least four times per month, which meant that she'd give her at least 200,000 every month. She accepted the money sometimes, but she didn't spend the money. Instead, she saved them up with the intention of giving Kendall the money as the latter's dowry in the future.
