Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 329

"Dad, my history with Jackson happened before he married Krystal. The entire Orapolis knows how long we've known each other. If word really gets out, people will only pity me."

Adam looked silently at her. When she finished speaking, he asked in pain, "You really don't want to go to Albarife?"

"I don't. Let Kendall go. It's a good chance to train her."

"Our sub-company in Albarife only took off recently, whereas Kendall is a rookie who just entered the workforce. Do you really expect her to oversee the sub-company? Kelly, is this how you should make arrangements after learning for so long?!"

Great, wrong again, Kelly mused.

"Dad, I—"

"That's it, say no more. Since you don't want to go to Albarife, I'll arrange for someone else to go. If you insist on staying in Orapolis and facing the oncoming storm, so be it! You can go back to your work now."

Kelly parted her lips and wanted to say more, but seeing that her father no longer wanted to speak to her, she could only stand and apologize. "I'm sorry for disappointing you, Dad."

To that, Adam faced away from her, leading her to walk away with gritted teeth.

After leaving the president's office, Kelly bore into Kendall for a moment before walking away grimly when she arrived in front of Jessie's office.

"Kendall, the way Vice President Parker stared at you looks super terrifying. Have you two fallen out?" Jessie asked with concern.

"I guess you can put it that way. She already had a bone to pick with me after I signed the deal with Prestige Electronics, or the Cameron episode wouldn't have happened. She wanted me to spare Cameron after the latter slandered me, but I didn't let her have her way and insisted that Cameron apologize publicly and leave Parker Corporation. It shouldn't be surprising that she resents me." With a pause, she then asked, "Jessie, do you think I'm evil and unreasonable?"

"No, you did the right thing. Not everyone can be reasoned with. Some people not only won't be grateful that you spared them, but they will hate you even more for it and find the chance to kick you when you're down," Jessie opined. "You and Vice President Parker have imperceptibly become rivals— better known as enemies. You'll only doom yourself if you're merciful to your enemy, and death will befall you imminently if you don't make a move."

Adam only had one child, and Parker Corporation could only belong to one successor.

Kelly was just an adopted daughter. Even as capable as she was, there was no reason for Adam to give his company to her if Kendall could very well take up the role, was there?

Thus, once Kendall entered Parker Corporation, it would be inevitable that she would become Kelly's rival.

"Thank you, Jessie," Kendall said with a smile.

"There's no need for that. I've never really helped you anyway. You might not have any experience, Kendall, but you have tons of advantages. If you work hard—coupled with your advantages—you'll surely get what you want."

"You're right. I'll do my best."

Ever since reincarnating, Kendall had been mentally prepared to fight a long battle with Kelly.

She didn't mind how long it would take, just as long as she would see that Jackson and Kelly were disgraced. Seeing the two b*stards being treated like garbage by the public would give her the exhilaration of a successful revenge.

Jessie signed a 'fingers crossed' to Kendall, leading her to nod her head firmly.

Meanwhile, at L.E. Boutique's main store, the store manager put her work aside and went out with a smile the moment she saw a red sports car parked in front.

Yasmine entered the store with her head held high, dressed in a red maxi dress, sunglasses, and a limited edition Hermès bag, leading the shop assistants to see her as a dazzling ball of fire.

Yasmine was inherently decent-looking, and she was born in purple. Plus, she had an innate elegance. As long as she didn't do anything stupid, she was actually a bombshell.

"Miss Zorn." The store manager approached Yasmine with a smile and complimented her red dress,

saying, "Miss Zorn, your outfit looked absolutely fabulous!"

It was showy.

Then again, Yasmine had always been showy.

"You look like Aphrodite herself, Miss Zorn. You've really gotten mortals like us swooned," the store manager kept gushing like it was the only thing she knew to do.

However, Yasmine reacted indifferently to the compliment, for she was long immune to them.

"Is President Evans in today?"

"She is," answered the store manager. "She's in her office. Would you like me to escort you?"

While heading straight for the elevator, Yasmine turned down the store manager's offer.

It wasn't until Yasmine entered the elevator that the store manager tucked away her smile and went back to her work despite the shop assistants' gazes at her.

Yasmine didn't stay in Laura's office for long, leaving in less than half an hour with two exquisite shopping bags, a set of new outfits in each one.

"Have a nice day, Miss Zorn." The store manager saw Yasmine out of the store and watched her get into the red sports car. Just like that, the beauty sped away from L.E. Boutique in her red sports car like a ball of fire.

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you… It was Kendall's phone.

Jessie couldn't help wanting to laugh every time she heard Kendall's ringtone and very naturally recalled the music video.

Meanwhile, Kendall answered the call skeptically after seeing it was an unknown number.

"Parker." A somewhat familiar voice came from the other end of the line, leading her to quirk a brow. "Miss Zorn?" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

To think that Yasmine would call her.

"It's me."

"What's the matter?"

Yasmine fell silent for a couple of seconds before asking, "Are you available right now?"

"No, I'm working. You can just tell me over the phone."

Yasmine quirked her lips. Who do you think you're trying to fool, pretending to be busy? As if no one knows you're just a rookie who just entered the workforce.

Having said that, she was envious of Kendall, for she could still work or do whatever she pleased even when she had married Dylan and had become the young mistress of the Coleman Family.

The Colemans' plethora of rules seemed to not have restrained Kendall at all.

Yasmine wasn't an idiot, after all.

She naturally knew Dylan's protection spared Kendall from being restricted by the Coleman Family's rules, free to do whatever she wanted.

Master Dylan's decision to do so…

Jealousy and mockery surged beneath Yasmine's eyes.

To think that someone as smart as Dylan didn't see through this issue. The more he shielded Kendall, the harder Kendall's days would only be in the Coleman Mansion. As if affluent women like Emily would allow the exception known as Kendall Parker to live peacefully.

Just wait. Kendall will one day be sick of dealing with the difficult in-law relationship and leave Dylan on her own accord.

"I'm at the R&R Cafe near your company. Come and join me for a cup of coffee. I won't take much of your time. If you really don't have the time to come, I'll go to you. What would you like to drink? I'll get one for you."

Yasmine's thoughtfulness got Kendall alerted. It sounded very much like a Greek gift.
