Suddenly, Kelly thought of the incident where Jackson had schemed against her, and she had lost her virginity to him.
No doubt, she was in love with Jackson. She was even willing to become one with him when they were getting close.
However, Kelly could not bring herself to hate him despite being plotted by him. Even so, like a thorn pricked in her heart, she felt pain every time she thought about it. I have been treated by fate unfairly, but why can't fate act against Kendall?! If Kendall hadn't appeared, my life would not have changed. It is all because of Kendall!
"This sort of thing has to be done in a very secretive way. My parents will definitely put the blame on me if someone discovered it, especially my mommy! She doesn't treat me as nice as before anymore."
As for Adam, he still treated Kelly nicely. However, she felt it was because of her performance in the company. Like my adoptive mother, Daddy may gradually pay less attention to me if Kendall is familiar with the company's affairs.
Kelly was afraid. She did not want to lose everything she had now.
"Then, give Dawson a hint and ask him to do it. That way, it would have nothing to do with you."
Yasmine took this matter as a small case. In the past, she simply had to part her lips and say a few words when she wanted to attack anyone and her brothers would help her to realize her goal.
Hearing that, Kelly shook her head. "Although Dawson likes Kendall, he's also a man of character. He fancies young and beautiful girls, but he doesn't force them. He simply gives them a hint and those who wish to take the bait will fall into the snare."
The headquarters of the Coleman Empire Holdings probably won't spare Dawson if he dares to force a young lady to sleep with him by taking advantage of his status, considering it will affect the company's reputation.
A frowning Yasmine said, "Kelly, how can you go up against Kendall to the end if you can't even handle such trivial matters? She's the biological daughter of the Parker Family. If she shows a little bit of ability, you'll be defeated. Are you willing to hand over Parker Corporation just like that?"
Shortly after, she added, "Besides, what's your worth if you leave the Parker Corporation? You can only go back to your biological family. Do you wish to go back, Kelly? You're now the daughter of the Parker Family. Even so, my parents still have some opinions about Brian having feelings for you. Once you return to your biological family, the difference in status between you and Brian will be greatly distanced. By that time, it'll be difficult for you to get married to Brian and become his wife."
For a moment, she nearly blurted out that Kelly was only worthy to be Brian's mistress.
When Kelly heard Yasmine's words, her facial expression took a turn.
It was without a doubt that Yasmine had poked at her sore spot.
"Nevertheless, Parker Corporation is going to be unfortunate since I won't make life easy for Kendall!"
"Yasmine…"
"Kelly, you don't need to say anything. Your daddy won't teach Kendall a lesson if I don't give Parker Corporation a piece of my mind. Since I'm not capable of slapping Kendall's face hard, I'll let Mr. Parker slap her. Anyway, I'm tired, so you should go back."
With that, Yasmine directly showed Kelly the door.
Pursing her lips, a helpless Kelly pleaded, "Yasmine, can you not take your anger out on Parker Corporation for the sake of our friendship? Apart from trying hard to sign a large order deal with Prestige Electronics, we're also in the midst of negotiating a few important projects. The negotiations of these projects are coming to an end soon. If you do that… We'll suffer from a great loss."
Yasmine's eyes flickered and she looked at Kelly. Meanwhile, the other party winked at her, which caused her to sneer in her heart. Yet, Yasmine's facial expression remained cold. "Kelly, I have spared Kendall several times for our friendship's sake, but she really needs some punishment."
"Yasmine…"
"Just leave."
Kelly sighed upon hearing that and bid Yasmine goodbye silently.
After coming out of Yasmine's room, a sneer appeared on the corner of Kelly's mouth. As long as Zorn Holdings snatches several important projects that Daddy is currently negotiating, he'll definitely be furious. Since he can't do anything to Zorn Holdings, he'll aim his anger toward Kendall. As Yasmine said, let Daddy teach Kendall a lesson if she couldn't give her a hard slap.
Thinking of that, she could not wait to witness the scene where her adoptive father slapped Kendall hard in the face and she headed downstairs in a good mood. Once she arrived downstairs, her facial expression changed whereby she became gloomy.
Sure enough, this was just an act she put up for the servants in the Zorn Mansion.
In the meantime, Yasmine, who was in the room, walked to the balcony and watched as Kelly came out of the house and walked toward the parking lot.
While calling her eldest brother, Benjamin, she looked at Kelly's back silhouette fading away. After he answered the phone, she cried out in an aggrieved manner, "Benjamin."
"What's wrong, Yasmine? Did someone bully you?" he asked with concern.
Next to Benjamin was Brian, who also asked with equal concern, "What happened to Yasmine?"
"Benjamin, I went to vent my anger out at Kendall," Yasmine spoke with grievance as well as a little weeping tone. This made her two brothers who loved her dearly very distressed. And thus, the brothers could not wait to beat Kendall up immediately on behalf of their sister.
Taking a broad view around Orapolis, who would dare to bully Yasmine?! Not even the top heiress, Alice, dares to do so! Yet, Kendall, a mere bumpkin from the countryside, dares to wrong our sister again and again! Who granted Kendall courage?!
"I didn't even get to lay a finger on Kendall, yet I was so angered by her to the point that I even ruined my pair of diamond-studded high heels. Benjamin, you have to stick up for me."
When he heard that, Benjamin became speechless and he paused for a while. Shortly after, he said, "Yasmine, are you sure you were not just merely bickering with her? With your speed in suddenly slapping someone in the face, how can Kendall's face not swell terribly? What's more, you were actually at a disadvantage?"
Still and all, he knew his sister's temperament very well. Theoretically, Kendall would definitely be slapped and beaten up so badly if Yasmine went to her to vent her anger.
The enraged Yasmine felt her cheeks burning with anger. "Benjamin!"
"Okay, okay. I'll stick up for you. Since I've promised you, I'll teach Parker Corporation a lesson. Just wait and see the things that will happen to them. Wait for Adam and his wife to bring Kendall to come forth and beg you—just like how President Whittle and his son always seek Master Dylan and beg him."
The reason why Jackson is willing to take responsibility for Krystal is nothing more than just him wanting to keep Whittle Holdings running with the help of Zorn Holdings' strength.
Initially, Benjamin wanted to help Whittle Holdings in secret. He wanted to do so mainly to co-opt Whittle Holdings and strengthen his own power. It was precisely through his relationship with the Caddel Family that he could openly help Whittle Holdings through their current self-identified crisis.
No doubt, Coleman Empire Holdings did make a move. In reality, they did not want to beat Whittle Holdings with lethal intent. It was just that Whittle Holdings' rivals took the opportunity to strike them when they were down, which caused them to sustain heavy losses.
This was the influential power held by the boss of Coleman Empire Holdings. With the snap of a finger, someone would help him fight and retaliate against the target he wanted to rectify.
"Kelly also said that Parker Corporation is working hard to sign a large volume order with Prestige Electronics, Benjamin. She and Kendall are responsible for this project. Apart from that, Parker Corporation is also discussing several important projects. The negotiations are almost coming to an end, and Adam pays special attention to these projects."
In short, Yasmine was implying to Benjamin to intercept Parker Corporation's negotiation deals. As long as Parker Corporation has not sealed the deal, we can steal their projects from them. There's nothing they can do about us even if they're pissed off. After all, the aggressors will always get the best part of the deal in the world of business.
Benjamin's eyes flickered, and he took another glance at Brian. Then, he soothed Yasmine's emotions.
After a while, the siblings ended the call.
"Brian, do you really love Kelly?" Benjamin asked frankly.
