Love Knows No Bounds novel (Kendall and Dylan) novel Chapter 382

Kendall wanted to laugh at Kelly's ridiculous logic; to think this woman could retort so justifiably.

"Why should Kendall stick up for you?" Dylan retorted coldly. "The buck stops here. You should be willing to bear the consequences of your actions. Why should Kendall help you at all?"

Intimidated, Kelly stuttered, "M-Master Dylan, w-w-with you around… and, and if Kendall could s-speak up for me, no one would dare lay a finger on me."

"Do you not deserve to be belabored?! Consider yourself lucky that the Caddels didn't mangle you." Dylan retorted mercilessly.

This was Kendall's vengeance. As if she would even think of helping Kelly!

"Also, I will shield Kendall from harm at any time and any place, but that doesn't mean you can use my name to protect yourself. Who are you to me? My sister-in-law? Do you and Kendall even share the same blood?"

Kelly was rendered speechless.

Hell, Dylan was super nice to the Woods Family! Kendall didn't share the same blood as the Woods brothers either, yet Dylan affectionately regarded them as his brothers. But to think he would disregard her as his sister-in-law!

"Mom, Dad, Dylan and I were seated at the main table," Kendall explained. "We were too far away from Kelly, and I was still reeling in shock when Krystal lashed out. The wedding was already in chaos by the time I came to my senses, and Kelly was already gone. I didn't manage to help Kelly in time."

At that, Charlotte looked into Kendall's eyes and said, "It's not your fault, Kendall. You don't have to explain anything, and you don't have to feel bad either."

Likewise, Adam comforted Kendall, telling her not to blame herself, making Kelly green with envy.

And they say that I'm their daughter too. Look at how nice they are on their own!

"Kendall." Kelly suddenly held Kendall's hand and pleaded, "Kendall, I don't blame you for not standing up for me in time at the hotel, but you can still help me now. Straighten this out for me, won't you? Don't let it affect my name."

But to Kelly's dismay, Dylan ruthlessly slapped her hand away before Kendall could say anything.

"So many people in the hall saw that recording. How do you expect Kendall to settle it for you? Cut off their tongues and chop off their hands?"

Dylan's sub-zero gaze made Kelly shudder in fear and blurted unconsciously, "Kendall has you. With your family's influence and your measures, anyone who dares gossip will have their tongues cut off. Anyone who dares to write about this online will have their hands chopped off."

"Kelly Parker!"

The Parker couple were rendered livid with rage upon hearing Kelly's words, and Adam wanted, even more so, to slap some sense into Kelly. But seeing how swollen her face was, he couldn't bring himself to do so anymore. He chastised coldly after withdrawing his hand with seethed rage. "You said it yourself—this is your business, and we don't have to bother ourselves with it. As you wish; your business, your problem!"

"Kendall, dear, please don't do anything stupid!" Charlotte genuinely feared Kendall would use Dylan's influences to harm others and straighten Kelly's problem for her.

"Don't worry, Mom. I won't."

Honestly, with Dylan's influences, the matter could be resolved easily. However, Kendall was the one who had engineered all of this, and Dylan even helped to sort the follow-ups. Would they consider undermining their efforts? Absolutely not!

Hence, it was impossible for Kelly to ever receive the couple's help. They were merely acting in front of Adam and Charlotte.

"Mom, Dad, Kendall, I've really learned my lesson now. Please help me. I don't want to be criticized and called all sorts of heinous names. I'm a Parker, too, am I not? Our family will also be disgraced if the public insults me."

"Kelly Parker!" Kendall flung Kelly's hand away. "What's done is done."

At that, Kelly slumped onto the couch in despair and cried with her hands over her face.

I'm done for!

Lo and behold, she suddenly held her belly and groaned, "Mom, my stomach hurts."

Charlotte turned slightly grim as she recalled Kelly's pregnancy, and she hurriedly helped the young woman up, reprimanding with an aching heart, "Is it the baby? Why didn't you listen to us when we kept telling you to forget about the child? Goodness, what are we going to do with you?"

Kelly's stomach genuinely hurt, and she could also feel warm liquid trickling down between her legs. "Mom, t-take… take me to the hospital…"

Charlotte would do so even if she didn't beg.

Adam had wanted to call 911, but Kelly stopped him despite the pain, thinking they'd draw attention doing so. Ultimately, she asked Adam and Charlotte to sneakily take her to the hospital.

She was now the number one target amongst the Orapolis' entertainment reporters. If word got out that she was pregnant with Jackson's child, Krystal and the Caddels surely wouldn't spare her.

In the end, the family of three sneakily left for the hospital, with Adam serving as the driver while Charlotte helped Kelly into the car.

Kendall and Dylan had no interest in tagging along, and Kelly refused to let the couple follow either, only because Dylan would become the center of attention wherever he went due to his illustrious status.

It wasn't until Kendall and Dylan were left in the mansion that she turned to Dylan, saying softly, "Kelly makes it look like I'm hell-bent on tagging along."

Who knows if Kelly will manage to keep this child. According to the date, she's probably only seven or eight weeks into her pregnancy. This is the easiest time for her to suffer a miscarriage when her fetus still isn't stable.

If things went according to how they were in her past life, the baby would've been fine. However, because Kendall's reincarnation changed many variables, many lives were affected. Thus, the survival of the child in Kelly's belly became an unknown factor.

"Let's go home, honey."

"Sure."

On the journey to Coleman Residence, Kendall called her mother and said she'd be sending Dylan home.

"Go home with Master Dylan first, Kendall. I'll give you a call when we know that Kelly's fine."

"Okay. You and Dad shouldn't get too upset, alright?"

What Kendall worried about most was that her parents would fall ill from anger.

Silence filled the line for a moment before Charlotte said, "This isn't our first rodeo. If anything, we're becoming numb."

Kendall didn't know what to say to that for a moment.

Adam and Charlotte's disappointment for Kelly was also a step in her vengeance.

She had to drive a wedge between Kelly and her parents so they wouldn't die in Kelly's hand like they had in her past life.

After ending the call, she leaned against Dylan, resting her head on his shoulder as she mumbled, "Dylan, I think my mom's beginning to suspect me."

She had recounted her past life in the form of a dream to her mother because she had to explain why she so suddenly gave up on Jackson and also distanced herself from Kelly.

At that, Dylan wrapped an arm around her shoulder and said, "Your mom went to a paternity testing lab to do a DNA test with your hair earlier today."

Dylan would keep a close eye on anything and everything that had to do with Kendall.

"I've already done a DNA test with my mom and dad to prove that I am indeed their daughter when we first reunited. Why would she do it again?" Kendall said in surprise.

No wonder she thought her mother was pretty aggressive with the comb the other day. Her mother had taken the chance to collect her hair, hadn't she?
