"Miss Zorn, I did grow up in a village, but so what? Are villagers a level below others? You call me a hillbilly at every chance you get, but without villagers like us, could you use the money you've received as food? Which of the things you're buying with money were not grown by the people living in villages?"
"Kendall Parker, return my shoe to me right now!"
At the moment, all Yasmine wanted was to get back her shoe because hopping around on one foot was ungraceful and embarrassing. If a paparazzi had captured a shot of this, she would even kill Kendall for this.
Meanwhile, Kendall took a look at Yasmine's shoe and saw that it was adorned with diamonds. "If you want your shoe back, hop over and get it yourself," she said and tossed the shoe.
The shoe flew in the air in a beautiful arc before falling onto the ground a distance away from both of them.
"Kendall Parker!"
"Miss Zorn, I'm not deaf, and I can still hear you. There's no reason for you to shout my name that loud."
"Kendall Parker, pick up my shoe immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"No matter whether I pick up the shoe or not, you'll still be ruthless to me."
"You!"
A car belonging to a bodyguard drove closer to them and the driver was none other than Ronnie. From afar, he already saw Kendall in an argument with Yasmine. Worried that Kendall would be at a disadvantage, he leveled the gas pedal before his car ran over Yasmine's shoe.
Witnessing the scene, Kendall sighed as she felt sorry. "It's adorned with diamonds." Can I pick up the diamonds now? she wondered.
Speechless, Yasmine was already dizzy from the fury caused by Kendall's audacity where she could pass out anytime. When she saw that the car that ran over her shoe was a bodyguard car from the Coleman Family, she quickly hopped over.
Stunned, Ronnie gaped at the sight and thought, Miss Zorn actually hopped over and she's only wearing one shoe. Where's the other one?
In his eyes, a proper and respectable young lady like Yasmine was akin to a princess. Every move she made and every word she said would exude noble-like grace, and she wouldn't do something as unrefined as hopping around.
Who was the one who pushed her to such a predicament? Silently, he gave a thumbs-up in his heart to the person who did it. That person is certainly brave, he praised in his heart. And it looks like that person is Young Mistress Kendall.
He sighed upon that realization. Young Mistress Kendall is something else!
After stopping the car, Ronnie alighted from the vehicle.
"Ronnie," Yasmine called out to him. Before he could answer, she ordered, "Ronnie, go now. Help me to pull out that hillbilly's tongue. Don't worry, I'll bear all the responsibility and won't get you into trouble."
Looking at her feet, he asked, "Miss Zorn, should I buy a pair of shoes for you first?"
"It's fine. I have a few pairs of shoes in my car. Go and get a pair for me," she said, passing her car key to him.
In hindsight, she realized that she was very dumb. Why didn't she walk over to him after getting another pair of shoes from the car? The way she hopped over earlier must have been very amusing.
"Ronnie, you're not allowed to tell Master Dylan what you saw earlier!"
Taking her key from her, Ronnie replied calmly, "I'm a person who watches my tongue."
As Dylan wasn't interested in Yasmine, he didn't like to hear anything about her. If Ronnie told him a piece of gossip about her, Dylan could punish him by asking him to repeat the gossip through the entire night without rest!
With the car key in his hand, he opened Yasmine's car door, but felt that her parking skills were really horrible. So, he adjusted the parking of the car, stopping it at the side of Parker Corporation so that it wouldn't get in the way of others.
Both the girls were dumbstruck, thinking that Ronnie's help came too late.
Even if Kendall wanted to drive in now, she didn't even dare to touch the steering wheel in front of Ronnie because he was the number one aide to Dylan.
Ronnie passed Yasmine a pair of shoes and after she changed into them, she tossed the one she just took off in Kendall's direction viciously. Taken aback, Ronnie couldn't stop her in time even though he wanted to. However, Kendall merely caught the shoe steadily in her hand.
Seeing that Yasmine was stomping to her furiously, Kendall threw the shoe aside but immediately remembered that there were diamonds on it, and she blamed herself for being too impulsive. I forgot to grab the diamonds down, she lamented silently. But Yasmine's skills are so predictable—she resorts to either slapping or kicking.
With Kendall's skill, there was no way Yasmine would be able to touch her, and she was so mad that she yelled for Ronnie.
"Ronnie, come here! Put this woman to the ground for me, and I'll reward you handsomely!"
The stumped Ronnie wouldn't dare to do it even if he had the guts of a tiger. Master Dylan will skin me alive, for sure! Young Mistress Kendall is his darling, and he can't even bear to hurt her pinkie.
"Ronnie," Yasmine called out to him. Before he could answer, she ordered, "Ronnie, go now. Help me to pull out that hillbilly's tongue. Don't worry, I'll bear all the responsibility and won't get you into trouble."
"Ronnie, the fight between women has nothing to do with men. Just stay there and watch from the sidelines. If you're bored, you can go to the security office, ask for some tea, and watch the show while sipping on it."
"Ronnie, the fight between women has nothing to do with men. Just stay there and watch from the sidelines. If you're bored, you can go to the security office, ask for some tea, and watch the show while sipping on it."
Speechless and incredibly impressed, he thought, Young Mistress Kendall is amazing!
So, he stayed out of the situation because he was not in the position to meddle. In addition, he knew that with Kendall's skills, she didn't need his help at all. Anyway, not only was Yasmine not able to touch her, she was infuriated by Kendall.
At the end of the day, of course Kelly and Adam, who were in the company, were alerted of the situation, and both of them rushed out. If it wasn't for Kelly holding Yasmine back, she would have passed out from the fury because of Kendall.
In the meantime, Adam was worried that his baby daughter would be hurt by Yasmine because he happened to see her dodging and hiding when he came out, and he assumed that she was on the losing side.
After Yasmine was pulled aside by Kelly, he quickly pulled Kendall to the side as well and scanned her from top to bottom in concern. Seeing that she was calm, and not even a strand of her hair was out of place, he breathed a sigh of relief.
In contrast, Yasmine's face was livid. Clearly, she was enraged, and her hair was in a mess.
"What happened?" he asked Kendall in a hushed voice.
"President Parker, what a fine daughter you've brought up. I won't let this slide just like this. Just you wait, Parkers!"
Completely disgraced, Yasmine loathed Kendall to the core but couldn't do anything to her. After shaking Kelly off, she threatened them, got into the car, and drove off.
"Yasmine! Yasmine!"
Adam knitted his brows tightly at Yasmine's threat before she left. If this had happened in the past, he would be in a fluster and blame his own daughter for causing trouble again, but now, he simply wanted to know what happened.
Regarding his biological daughter, he knew her quite well—she would definitely not attack unless she was attacked first. She was the typical type of person who wouldn't mess with others if they left her alone, but if they did, she would counterattack with double the damage.
"Kelly, go after Miss Zorn. You've always been good friends with her, so apologize to her nicely."
Even though they had the Coleman Family as backing and Adam wasn't afraid of the Zorn Family, he didn't want to have another enemy and instructed Kelly to pursue Yasmine.
