Love Knows No Bounds novel (Kendall and Dylan) novel Chapter 106

"Yes, isn't this the head of the Mendelsons' first time attending Miss Zorn's birthday banquet as well? If you do see the sun rising from the west tomorrow, you have to record a video of it and send it to me so that I can watch this amazing phenomenon as well."

Dylan's retort almost made Frank choke.

The latter looked at the box in Yasmine's hand, his eyes twinkling as he smiled and said, "Miss Zorn, since you have opened Miss Kendall's present for you in public, why don't you open Master Dylan's as well? Master Dylan doesn't send gifts often, so why don't you quench our curiosity?"

Yasmine didn't know what to do.

She didn't want to open Dylan's present in public, but she didn't want to say no to Frank either.

She had pursued one of them for years, and she wanted to marry him for the longest time.

Meanwhile, the other person was her current target.

Yasmine knew about love, of course. She was simply stubborn on the outside, but on the inside, she knew what she had to do.

She had to marry a man who was on par with her; love could come after that.

The only families on par with the Zorns were the Colemans and the Mendelsons. She was probably asking for too much if she wanted to marry into the Colemans, but the Mendelsons were just the right level for her to marry into.

Dylan glanced at Yasmine.

This woman had opened Kendall's present in public, which meant she wanted to humiliate Kendall.

Yasmine didn't know what Dylan was thinking. When she saw Dylan looking at her, she immediately made her choice. With a polite smile on her face, she answered Frank, "Mr. Mendelson, it's not polite to open presents in front of everyone. I'll open them after the banquet. If you're interested, you can stay back after everything is over, and we can open my presents together."

She could satisfy Frank's curiosity while spending some time alone with him too.

In Orapolis, the more notable young men were Dylan and Frank, but they were also the most difficult people to approach.

No matter when or where they appeared, they would have their bodyguards with them. The bodyguards were deft and loyal, and they would never be bribed with money or benefits. Hence, it was difficult for people to bribe them just to get close to those two presidents.

Dylan and Frank were sworn enemies. They weren't rivals only in the business field, though; they both had similar personalities, and with their similar temperaments, positions, and status, none of them would give way to the other, so they turned into sworn rivals.

Frank chuckled sarcastically.

"It looks like Miss Zorn is also aware that it's not polite to open presents in front of everyone."

His words caused Yasmine to turn red in the face; Frank was mocking her about how she had humiliated Kendall.

"Come, let's all go inside. Master Dylan, Miss Alice, this way, please."

Daniel Zorn, Yasmine's father, hastily intervened and led everyone inside the house.

The two presidents glared at each other as if trying to topple the other with their glares.

On the outside, Dylan was usually cold with his words and attitude. Even though Frank was cold as well, he wasn't a man of a few words. Especially when it came to Dylan, he would speak at length.

"Even Master Dylan's maid is attending this banquet, but why didn't she come with him? If she did, she wouldn't have been insulted, humiliated, or faced any injustice since people would be considerate of Master Dylan's status. I, a mere passerby, had to come over and give her some of the justice she deserves."

Everyone instantly understood what Frank was getting at.

People were wondering why Frank would speak up for Kendall even though he didn't know her at all. It turned out that Frank was simply making use of the occasion to mock Dylan and his uselessness, for he couldn't even protect his own maid.

Even Yasmine, who held countless grudges against Kendall, quelled her anger.

Frank would never have eyes for Kendall!

Only Yasmine was deserving of excellent men like Frank and Dylan.

"President Mendelson, are you asking me for a reward?"

Dylan continued coldly, "Kendall isn't my maid."

She was his wife!

He hadn't arrived yet when Kendall was bullied, so he couldn't protect her. However, from what he knew of her, Kendall would never be at a disadvantage, and she wouldn't even mind Yasmine opening her present in front of everyone. However, it gave Frank a chance to speak up for her, which greatly upset Dylan.

This rival of his seemed to have quietly gotten involved with his wife!

"Oh, she's not your maid? Right, you've discussed marriage with her before, so I guess we could call her your ex-fiancée."

Frank prodded, obviously reluctant to just cease fire right then.

"Kendall is not my fiancée either."

"In that case, who is she to you? She's living with you at Coleman Mansion. This is the first time such a thing has ever happened in Master Dylan's life, after all."

Dylan returned the question, "President Mendelson, that's my private business, so how does that concern you? You're asking so many questions; could it be that you're deeply in love with me, and that's why you're getting jealous now? Are you blaming me for leaving you alone?"

Frank was speechless. "What do you mean, Dylan? Who's deeply in love with you?"

"In that case, why are you pestering me with such questions? It's Miss Zorn's birthday tonight, but you're taking the spotlight and bothering me. You're trying to cling onto me to show off your rights, so aren't you doing that to get my attention?"

Everyone fell silent.

Frank was speechless as well.

He was so pissed that his face went red. If he had a mustache, it would probably perk up in anger as well.

Dylan was a man of few words, but his words were always shocking to hear.

Just a few suggestive words were enough to drive Frank crazy, and he was stomping his feet in fury while despairing at his inability to retort. He was powerless.

Others would be terrified of offending Frank, but not Dylan. He even offended Frank every single day.

Kendall, who was hiding behind the crowd, had a plate in one hand and a fork in another. She was putting a dessert in her mouth when she heard the man's suggestive words. She almost choked on the dessert, but she managed to swallow it. She didn't feel much better, so she hastily grabbed a glass of wine and took a few gulps from it. She could finally breathe properly again.

Dylan always said that she was shameless, but he was even more shameless than her.

Hah, it was only natural that they became a couple since they were on the same wavelength.

Frank ceased fire, and the Coleman siblings finally entered the house with the Zorns ushering them.

Daniel hinted at a few of his nephews to keep Frank company, while he brought his children with him to accompany Dylan.

Kelly caught sight of Kendall, who was enjoying the food and wine in a corner. There was a look of disdain in her eyes when she nagged at her quietly, "Kendall, how hungry are you? Is eating the only thing you know?"

"I didn't manage to eat anything before leaving the house, so yes, I'm hungry. Aren't you hungry too?"

Kelly was speechless. In truth, she was starving.

"When the gods are fighting, the mortals will be the ones suffering. Small fries like us should stay away as far as we can."

Kelly didn't know what to say.

She looked at Dylan, who was being treated like a VIP by the Zorn Family. She couldn't suppress the fear in her heart. At any given time, she'd feel afraid as soon as she saw the frigid man with his sharp words and cold blood.

Indeed, it would be better for her to stay away from him.

Dylan had arrived, so Yasmine wouldn't have time for her besties.

Kelly knew her place, so she went and got some food herself. However, she didn't stay with Kendall. Instead, she went over to her other friends and began chatting and laughing away.
