Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 493

"Mom, when it comes to my relationship with Kelly, it's not what you think it is. I'm a grown man now. I know what I'm doing."

"What is it then, if it's not what I think it is?" Jacqueline fumed. "Do you think you can hide it from me? The two of you are living together! I can't believe how shameless that b*tch is. She's pregnant and yet she's still… here with you. How did the Parkers raise their daughter? They raised her to be a seductress!"

"Mom, Jackson was the one who set Kelly up back then. He drugged her. She's a victim. Someone took that video on purpose. I suspect that Kendall's the one behind all of this. She's jealous of how capable Kelly is and she wants to take the family inheritance away from Kelly, so she plotted everything to tarnish Kelly's reputation. She's done such a good job that everyone's opinions of Kelly have been affected."

Jacqueline slammed her hand on the coffee table.

Brian's defense finally came to an end.

"What do you mean by Kendall wanting to take the family inheritance away? Who's the Parkers' true daughter? Who wouldn't leave their family assets to their child? Kendall is the Parkers' only blood- related daughter. The family inheritance belonged to her right from the start. Kelly has stayed with the Parkers for so many years now and enjoyed everything that should've belonged to Kendall in the first place. What more does she want? Kendall was the daughter of a wealthy family, but she had to grow up in a poor family from the countryside. Isn't she the one who suffered?"

Jacqueline wasn't truly on Kendall's side. She didn't like Kendall because Kendall married Dylan, who was the one Yasmine had always wanted to marry.

However, Jacqueline still believed that it was only right for Kendall to inherit the Parkers' family fortune.

Kelly wasn't the Parkers' blood-related daughter, but she took Kendall's place and enjoyed a life of luxury. It was Kendall who suffered, not Kelly.

"I don't care whether Kelly or Jackson schemed against each other. All I know is that she's a woman with a tarnished reputation and even Jackson has abandoned her. You're Brian Zorn! Do you need to take in a woman that someone else has tossed aside?"

"Mom! Can you not say such harsh things about her? You're a woman and you have a daughter too. Why must you be so hard on her?"

"You're still trying to defend Kelly! Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Call Kelly in now and tell her to get lost! Don't think I don't know that the two of you came back together. I already got people to keep an eye on the two of you. Don't think you can hide anything from me."

Jacqueline wasn't a fool. Once she received the photos, she started looking for proof herself.

She arranged for people to secretly tail her son, so naturally, she knew that he and Kelly came back together.

She figured that Kelly was too afraid to come in after seeing her car in the driveway.

Brian eventually stammered, "Mom, Kelly's just staying here for a few days…"

Jacqueline glared at him.

He faltered and didn't dare to continue.

"Are you going out to get her, or do you want me to send someone out to drag her in?"

"Mom."

"Go!"

Brian had no choice but to head out and bring Kelly in. He was boiling with rage.

Dylan Coleman's too vicious!

If Dylan had heard that, he would have said, "Weren't you two just as vicious when you did the same to Kendall and me? What's the matter? You can dish it out but can't take it yourself?"

Meanwhile, Kelly hugged her knees and stared into the darkness as she continued hiding in the dark corner outside.

A crescent moon hung in the sky.

How did I end up like this?

Whenever Kelly had time to dwell on things, she would wonder how her life came to this.

According to her plan, Kendall was supposed to have her life ruined and her reputation destroyed. She was supposed to be a penniless outcast of society.

The sound of rushed footsteps and Brian's calls dragged Kelly out of her reverie. She quickly stood up and called out to him, "I'm here, Brian."

Brian opened the gates to the villa and hurried out.

"Kelly."

Kelly came out of the darkness.

Brian swiftly jogged over to her.

"How did it go, Brian? Has your mother left?"

She had been caught up in her thoughts and wasn't paying attention, so she didn't know if anyone left.

Brian was staring at her apologetically.

Kelly understood the look right away. "Your mother hasn't left yet, and she wants me gone, right?"

Brian nodded.

Kelly was an intelligent woman. She only ended up in this state because she chose Jackson.

Brian pitied her and also felt that the situation was lamentable. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Had she chosen him from the start, he would've married her. She would've become Mrs. Zorn and would've still been able to lead a life of luxury even without inheriting the Parkers' family business.

Alas…

"Kelly, someone sent photos of us together to my mom. She knows everything now and is furious. I can't calm her down."

"Who sent our photos to her? Dylan?"

This was all too familiar.

Just not too long ago, she and Brian did the very same thing to Kendall, which led to Tilly chasing Kendall out of the house.

Words couldn't describe the utter delight Kelly felt when she saw the grievances Kendall had to suffer as her in-laws kicked her out.

Kelly thought that Kendall would've lost her most powerful ally this way, but who would've known that Tilly couldn't be relied upon? She surrendered after just one day and personally went over to the Parkers to give her apology.

She even wanted to bring Kendall back to the Colemans herself.

Kendall won yet again. She won because of Dylan's deep love for her.

"Who else could it be apart from him?" Brian seethed.

After a moment of silence, Kelly said, "In that case, the only thing we can do is go in and face your mother's anger. Brian, don't defend me no matter what your mother does to me later."

"Kelly…"

"Things can only calm down once she has vented all her anger and chased me out. That's the only way we can continue our relationship. If you show her that you're reluctant to see me go. If that happens, it'll affect our ability to be together in the future, and our plans as well."

Brian stared at her in silence.

All of a sudden, Kelly tip-toed and wrapped her arms around his neck before giving him a gentle yet passionate kiss.

Brian couldn't hold back. He swiftly held her tightly and kissed her back fiercely.

After the kiss, Brian said apologetically, "I'm sorry that you have to suffer so much, Kelly."

"Sacrifices have to be made to attain victory," Kelly replied quietly. "What's a little suffering now? One day, I'll get everything I want. I'll get to stomp on every single person who made me suffer. They'll be at my mercy. I'll make them bow at my feet."

"Kelly."

Brian held her close and promised, "No matter what happens, I'll always be on your side."

"I know, Brian. I trust you."

Kelly gently pushed him away and said, "Let's go in. There's a rainbow after every storm. The fiercer the storm now, the greater our happiness will be in the future."

Brian clutched her hand tightly and brought her into the house.

Kelly looked at the brightly lit house. Her eyes grew colder with every step she took as hatred filled every fiber of her being.

Dylan Coleman!Kendall Parker! Since I'm forced to suffer, I'll make sure the two of you do too!
