Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 426

"I know, Dad. I'm staying." Kendall was seized by an impulse to face Frank, but she stopped in time to realize what Frank was getting at. He's going all out because he has a plan. The moment I show up, someone will snap a picture and send it to the Colemans.

"I'll handle this." Adam held his daughter back and left his office.

Frank was a little disgruntled seeing Adam coming out alone, but he remained calm. "Hello, Mr. Parker." He was polite to Adam.

This man was Kendall's father and his potential father-in-law. It's good manners to be nice to your in- laws. But Adam shrewdly refused all his requests for partnership.

It doesn't matter. Even if there's no shortcut, I can still conquer the woman I like bit by bit. Kendall was his target. Putting his wet dream aside, just the fact that she refused him for Dylan was enough to rouse his spirit of conquest.

"What are you doing, Mr. Mendelson? Get that banner down." Adam cut to the chase and tried to pull the banner down.

But the moment he moved, Frank's bodyguards came to stop him.

"I'm trying to confess to Kendall, Mr. Parker. I love Kendall. Deeply. I love her no matter who she's dating. And I'm a straightforward man. I will confess to anyone I love and make my feelings known."

Yeah, right. If you're straightforward, there'd be no crooks left, Adam thought to himself. Since he couldn't pull the banner off, he went back to Frank and complained, "You're hurting Kendall, Mr. Mendelson. This isn't love."

He looked at Adam with twinkling eyes, a smile curling his lips. "If he abandons her just because of my confession, then it proves he's not a good husband. Don't worry about her. I'll accept her no matter what."

Adam wanted to slap Frank. "She's married, Mr. Mendelson, and the man she loves is Dylan. Thank you for the confession, but she won't accept it. Leave, now."

Frank kept smiling. "I don't care who she is, I'm still professing my love to her. Everyone has a right to love, and I have the right to love Kendall. Nobody can take that away from me. I won't go back unless she comes out and rejects my advances herself."

Frank wanted to lure Kendall out for a photo.

Adam was frustrated, but he couldn't do anything about it. But then Dylan's motorcade came. Good. He's here. Adam heaved a sigh of relief.

Coleman Empire Holdings was just a stone's throw away from Parker Corporation. Thanks to that, Dylan could come right over the moment he noticed the commotion and defend Kendall.

But Frank's motorcade was blocking the entrance, stopping Dylan's motorcade from advancing. Frank arrogantly looked ahead without even turning back. But then the Coleman bodyguards split into two teams. One stood against Frank's men, while the other came with forklifts and moved Frank's cars

The scene made everyone's jaws drop.

Frank still seemed calm and collected, but the look in his eyes said otherwise. Naturally, the banner of confession was already torn off.

Once the obstacles were cleared, Ronnie and Dylan showed up. They stopped right beside Frank, and Dylan said, "Hello, Father."

"Hi." Adam gave Dylan a look of apology. Sorry I failed to defend Kendall. He thought Dylan's men moving those cars away was great, though.

"You have a client to meet, don't you, Father?"

"Yes."

"I'll take Kendall there." In other words, he wanted Adam to leave ahead of them.

"I'll leave this to you." Adam knew full well he could leave the whole affair to Dylan. He might not be of great help to his daughter, but Dylan could do anything for her.

Adam was more than pleased with Dylan. He thought his daughter was fortunate to gain his love, and then he left.

Dylan didn't even spare Frank one look. He was waving at Kendall, who was right inside the building.

Kendall came out happily like a little bird. "Darling, you're here." She didn't even look at Frank. All she cared about was Dylan. There was a sweet smile on her lips, but it didn't bloom for Frank.

"Here to pick you up," Dylan answered. He stood up, and Kendall held his arm. Then both of them went straight to his car, standing side by side.

Ronnie pushed the wheelchair and followed them closely.

Frank was still holding that bouquet of roses, but the look on his face was terrifying. Still, he looked pitiable from afar.

Love was a right everyone had, but he fell for someone he shouldn't have. All the employees were treated to a good show, and they envied Kendall greatly, for both of the best men in Orapolis fancied her.

"I have a feeling Mr. Mendelson did this on purpose. He wants to rile Dylan up. He's nice to Kendall, and everyone knows he and Dylan are enemies. Everyone Dylan cares about, Mr. Mendelson would try to snatch away or destroy," someone said.

Everyone thought that statement had a point, and the envy they felt for Kendall turned into pity. They thought it was sad that Kendall was being fought over like some sort of toy.

"Still, Dylan's really nice to Kendall. And he's more of a man than Mr. Mendelson is. I can't believe he moved the cars blocking the road with forklifts. That was exhilarating."

Dylan was the only one who would do that to Frank. Not even the Zorns would challenge Frank this openly.

"The moment Mr. Mendelson tried to set up a partnership with us, I knew he had some other plans. He wanted to use Kendall for a Dylan-sized beatdown."

Some self-proclaimed genius thought they got the answer.
