The two men in black did not respond to Yasmine's question.
Her face darkened even more when she realized she was being ignored. Hence, she couldn't help but dial Dylan's number.
The call went through but was left unanswered. It was the same for a few more calls that she subsequently made.
This enraged her even more.
Meanwhile, Kendall was well aware that allowing Yasmine to wait for so long would enrage her, but she couldn't care less.
In the past, she had been resentful of Yasmine for embarrassing her at the banquet and at her own inability to confront Yasmine. Kendall was well aware that Yasmine had a lot of hooligans under her control and confronting her would be a matter of life or death.
However, even if she didn't have Dylan by her side, she wasn't afraid of Yasmine anymore.
After all, Yasmine was just a spoiled brat.
The chef at the Coleman Family had exceptional culinary skills and Kendall was having a great time eating.
"Young Mistress Kendall."
Just as she was happily having her food, Amos placed an envelope by her side.
"My letter?" she inquired as she picked up the letter.
It was rare for people to use letters now since phones were so common.
"Before he left, Young Master Dylan instructed me to pass this letter to you," he reassured.
He was overjoyed that Dylan had finally come to his senses and even wrote a love letter to Kendall.
Furthermore, he was also aware that Dylan had stayed with Kendall all night yesterday. Despite knowing that nothing happened between them, it was a good sign that they stayed together.
"It's from Dylan?" Kendall immediately placed her utensils down after learning that the letter was from Dylan.
Her curiosity won out over all the delectable food on the table.
Wow! Dylan? I never expected him to be the type to write love letters! Is it mushy? Or unromantic like him?
She curiously opened the envelope before taking out the folded paper in it and putting the envelope down.
Then, she carefully flipped open the folded letter with both hands. There was only one piece of paper in it.
Well, one paper appeared to be a little less, but if it was filled with words, she wouldn't mind.
Presently, Amos was still standing beside her. He didn't mean to peek, but he couldn't resist the urge to steal a glance at Dylan's love letter.
'Life Plans' were the two words to first enter both Kendall's and Amos' sights.
Kendall smiled as she continued to read, but as she read, her smile faded and was replaced by a thoughtful expression.
Amos, on the other hand, realized after taking a peek that it was all his wishful thinking.
It wasn't a love letter at all!
Since it was not a love letter, he had no desire to read any further. He didn't even look at the letter again despite the fact that he was still standing by her side.
After reading this 'revenge plan' drafted by Dylan, she felt as if her mind was clearer now. He wanted her to learn the ins and outs of running a business before seizing control from Kelly.
As Kendall was the true young lady of the Parker Family, her parents would definitely side with her. So, as long as she could learn how to manage a company and demonstrate to them that she was capable of taking over Parker Corporation, she would have complete control.
There would be no place for Kelly then.
All the woman's efforts over the years would simply be Kendall's dowry.
Kendall stuffed the letter back into the envelope and continued eating after finishing the 'revenge plan.'
When she finally had enough of all the food and exited the house, Yasmine appeared as if she was going to tear Kendall apart.
"Kendall Parker!"
Yasmine really wanted to kick Kendall right now, but her upbringing had prevented her from doing so. Suppressing her rage, she sarcastically said, "It's extremely difficult to meet you. You are the first person who made me wait so long in the sun! How dare you!"
Kendall responded with a smile, "I didn't ask you to wait for me in the sun. There are numerous trees in the yard that provide shade; you can sit or stand under any of them, but you insist on standing in the sun. Don't blame me for your choice."
Yasmine was enraged when she heard that, especially since Kendall had said them with a smile.
In the past, Kendall had always been silent in front of Yasmine because she never got along with the young ladies from wealthy families.
This was the first time Yasmine realized that Kendall was, in fact, good with words.
"Amos."
Yasmine looked at Amos, who was standing behind Kendall, and politely greeted him in a soft tone. Then, as if to remind him, Yasmine said, "Look at her attitude, Amos. Her habit of shooting her mouth off will undoubtedly land Dylan into trouble. As Dylan's butler, you have to teach her proper manners."
She had regarded Kendall as the Coleman Family's servant. After all, Kelly had told her about how Kendall had offended Dylan.
Plus, Dylan took Kendall away after that. What else could it be other than wanting her to be his servant?
Remembering that Kendall had the audacity to reject her marriage by threatening to kill herself in front of Dylan, Yasmine was really pissed off. If it isn't for… How is Kendall worthy of Dylan? Dylan should be mine! But…
Yasmine's heart ached whenever she thought of Dylan's current situation. It was such a pity!
Amos politely replied, "Thank you for your reminder, Miss Zorn, but Kendall is not under my command. Young Master Dylan will personally teach her everything she needs to know."
Amos did not address Kendall as the young mistress in front of Yasmine.
As long as Dylan did not reveal Kendall's identity, Amos would ensure that no one in the house revealed Dylan's marital status.
Glancing at Kendall, Yasmine said with a smile, "It's your blessing to be taught by Dylan personally, Kendall."
Dylan will definitely torture Kendall, Yasmine thought.
"That's true. Even my ancestors are honored."
Indeed, nobody could match Kendall's wit and her words rendered Yasmine speechless.
"If you have no other matters, Miss Zorn, I'll need to leave first to get acquainted with the surroundings."
Dylan had given Kendall one week to get herself familiarized with the Coleman Mansion. Otherwise, she would be a piece of dead meat.
She couldn't imagine how he would punish her if she didn't remember the roads. "Let's go, Amos."
"Sure." Amos nodded and followed her from behind before they both walked right past Yasmine.
Before Yasmine could react, the both of them had walked away.
Wait! She suddenly remembered that she came here to look for Kendall, intending to teach Kendall a lesson by using her position as the Colemans' guest.
However, Kendall left right in front of her after only a few words.
Yasmine realized that she had been played a fool by Kendall; the village girl had escaped while she was still stunned by what she had heard!
She glared angrily at Kendall's leaving figure from behind before leaving Dylan's quarters and heading for the main house.
