Chapter 90
"You appeared solemn in the conference room earlier, as if you were in a bad mood, and even I was terrified by that. But now, you've changed because of a phone call. Come on, give me a smile again."
The second Toddy finished his sentence, Dylan threw a huge stack of documents to him.
But he managed to catch all of them.
"President Coleman, all the documents sent to you are important. How could you just toss them around like this? What if you damaged them?"
Toddy then tried to tidy up all the documents before placing them in front of Dylan again. While doing so, he said with a smile, "It appears that you and your wife get along well! I noticed you mentioned the Parker Corporation. Is your wife the Parkers' young lady?"
Toddy's expression darkened slightly and he leaned against the table, cautiously seeking confirmation. "Don't tell me that your wife is Kendall Parker, President Coleman?"
Since Toddy had overheard the conversation, Dylan did not see the need to hide it any further and expressly admitted. "Yes, it's her. Can't she be my wife?"
"She did such drastic things and you still dare to marry her? What are you trying to prove?"
"You're wrong. She was the one who forced me to marry her."
That stumped Toddy.
He remained silent for a while before raising his hand to touch Dylan's forehead. Dylan's temperature seemed to be normal.
"You are not having a fever that would blur your mind, so how could you marry her just because she asked you to?"
"I need a wife whereas she needs a husband. It's that simple."
"Your conversation earlier seemed happy. I can even tell you're spoiling her."
Toddy's words made Dylan blink.
Spoiling her?
How can I be spoiling that shameless woman?
Did I really do that?
Remembering their times together recently, Dylan had no choice but to admit that he indeed had been spoiling Kendall. Otherwise, she would not be becoming more and more shameless.
"Given her previous extreme behavior, why did she force you to marry her after that?"
Toddy was really curious about this.
"Because I am handsome," Dylan replied confidently and narcissistically. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
That almost made Toddy burst out laughing.
He never imagined that Dylan, with his cold and emotionless face, would say something like this.
"Laugh all you want. Don't hold back in case you get sick. The company is extremely busy; I will not let you take any medical leave."
With that, Toddy decided to let it all out and started laughing profusely.
After he had finished laughing, Dylan merely said indifferently, "Go all out against the Whittles."
"Didn't you say you just wanted to teach them a lesson? You really want to be so harsh on them now?"
"It is a lesson."
However, it was a lesson that could spell the end of the Whittle Holdings.
How dare Jackson try to kiss Kendall? He must be tired of living!
I am the only one who can taste her sweet lips, Dylan thought.
Toddy seemed to pick up on the situation quickly. "Well, Jackson is just really unlucky," he said, his tone revealing a slight sense of compassion.
Kendall was the one who fell in love with Jackson after only meeting him once. He only agreed to be with her because he couldn't stand her passionate wooing of him.
Previously, Kendall was madly in love with Jackson. Why caused her to change her mind and marry Dylan instead?
Women's hearts were simply too difficult to comprehend!
"I won't do anything to Whittle Holdings if not for the fact that he went overboard."
Dylan was ruthless, but he was not someone who would randomly attack others.
Jackson was the one who rubbed him in the wrong way.
"Spread the news out that Wally's orders are increasing and it is in need of a large quantity of circuit boards."
Toddy, as astute as he always was, recognised Dylan's plan right away. However, the former couldn't understand why Dylan chose to spread such rumors for the Parker Corporation to bid on instead of approaching them directly for collaboration.
Seeing that Dylan had no intention to explain, Toddy did not ask further.
Well, he would just wait and see. The answer would come one day.
Meanwhile, Kendall was finally able to do her work after talking with Dylan and calming her anxious
heart.
Time spent concentrating on work flew by, and lunchtime arrived quickly.
Kendall then stuffed the sketches into her bag, intending to look at them while eating later.
"Kendall."
She heard her father calling out to her as she walked out of her office.
That made her halt her steps. Turning around, she greeted Adam as well.
"Your mom just called and asked the both of us to go back for lunch. She has prepared a lot of food to celebrate your first day of work!"
He then warmly continued, "She did not even put her heart to celebrate for me when I took over the Parker Corporation!"
Kendall slyly replied, "I guess my mom gave you some special celebration then!"
Adam lightly tapped her head after she finished her words. "You're such a naughty girl!"
In response, she stuck out her tongue cutely.
"Daddy, Dylan had asked me to have lunch with him. Since Mommy has prepared lunch personally, I'll reject him then."
While saying, Kendall took her phone out, preparing to call Dylan.
However, Adam stopped her.
"Just go with Dylan since he has already said so, Kendall. I'll inform your mom on your behalf. Thank you for allowing me to have all of the delicious food to myself!"
"Will she be disappointed?"
"She won't. Both your mother and I are content as long as you get along well with Dylan and he treats you well."
"Okay. I will go back to have dinner with her then."
Kendall, too, did not want to disappoint Dylan by not meeting him for lunch. Being such a petty man, Dylan would almost certainly make her write more self-reflection essays!
Remembering that, she sighed to herself. Self-reflection essays again, and this time even with unrepeated content!
He was getting addicted to punishing her, wasn't he?
If he ever fell in love with her in the future, it would be her turn to force him to write her love letters with unique content!
Oh how Kendall wished to receive Dylan's love letter one day.
"Dad, have you agreed to the business deal with the Mendelson Group?"
She followed Adam into the president's exclusive elevator.
"Not yet."
Adam went on, "Coleman Empire Holdings and the Mendelson Group are bitter rivals. You're now one of the Colemans, and I can't easily agree to collaborate with the Mendelsons."
Even though Adam, in fact, really wanted to take on the business.
"Frank is a weird guy. In the past, I had previously gone to the Mendelson Group to discuss business deals, but he refused to even see me. Now, however, he has personally arrived to discuss collaboration. I had the impression that there was more to it, though. He may have discovered your relationship with Dylan, which is why Frank came to us under the guise of a business to find ways to beat us down. If that happens, Dylan will be forced to lend us a hand, which is exactly what Frank wants."
Kendall nodded to that. "I believe so too."
However, Dylan had said that Frank was here because of her.
Previously, Frank had made it clear that they would have no connection whatsoever for the rest of their lives.
It had only been a short time, and he was already contradicting himself.
It appeared that a big shot like him was untrustworthy as well.
The elevator brought Adam and Kendall to the ground floor.
Their conversation ended. Both of them exited the building, and they went their own ways after that.
Blake was already waiting outside the building when Kendall walked out. When he saw her approaching, he got out of his car to greet her.
She was polite to him as well.
"Young Mistress Kendall, Young Master Dylan is waiting for you in the company."
"Hasn't he left the office yet?" she inquired as she fastened her seatbelt.
"His time off work varies."
"I see."
"Are you hungry, Young Mistress Kendall?" Blake asked after starting the engine, thereafter handing her a box of pastries from the front of the car.
"Will she be disappointed?"
"She won't. Both your mother and I are content as long as you get along well with Dylan and he treats you well."
