Chapter 22

The building that Vivian pointed to was a hundred meters away. It was the tallest and most luxuriously decorated building located at the center of the Coleman Mansion while being a property that was always occupied by the head of the Coleman Family.

However, Dylan was an exception because he disliked having many people around.

Therefore, the main house was occupied by Old Madam Coleman, whose name was Tilly Neilson, Dylan's parents, and Alice.

While touching her red cheeks, Kendall asked, "Can I say that it's not a convenient time?"

Taking a look at Kendall's face, Vivian explained, "Ms. Parker, Old Madam Coleman is hoping you can head there now."

After a moment of silence, Kendall decided that since they didn't care about her swollen cheeks resembling a risen dough, she wouldn't mind it either. So, she answered, "Alright."

Vivian nodded in satisfaction at Kendall's cooperation as she said, "Ms. Parker, follow me."

Thus, Kendall left the pavilion and walked behind Vivian.

Once Kendall stepped into the main house, she was shocked by the ancient design of the house. If it weren't for Tilly and the others wearing modern clothing, Kendall would have thought she had been transported into an ancient palace.

The luxurious interior of the Coleman Mansion could be compared with that of a palace.

Although Tilly had passed her eighties, she still had a strong and healthy body.

She had five sons, with the fourth and fifth sons being twins. After she gave birth to three sons, she had aimed for a daughter but received twin sons instead.

Now, her five sons had given her dozens of grandsons and only one granddaughter, Alice. Among all of her grandsons, Dylan was her favorite and also the heir she and her husband had raised personally.

In the Coleman Family, Tilly was the queen dowager, and besides Dylan and Alice, it was rare for others to have the guts to defy her.

Although Tilly looked like a benevolent goddess, Kendall didn't believe that Tilly was a genuinely kind senior. How could a kind person raise a cold and heartless person like Dylan?

Meanwhile, Tilly sat on a chaise longue while a young girl kneeled in front of her, massaging her legs.

On the other single couches sat several women in fashionable clothing adorned by several expensive jewelry pieces.

A maid led Kendall in and stopped before Tilly, announcing, "Old Madam Coleman, Ms. Parker has arrived."

The young girl massaging Tilly's legs was the young lady of the Coleman Family, Alice. She turned her head to look up at Kendall.

When she saw Kendall's swollen cheek, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately rose to her feet and questioned Kendall, "Who slapped you?"

While Alice was questioning Kendall, Tilly and the other women didn't even spare a look at Kendall.

Kendall answered honestly, "My father."

A Shocked Alice couldn't figure out why some parents would hit their children.

After that, the maid introduced Kendall. "Ms. Parker, this is Old Madam Coleman, and this is Miss Alice."

Then, the maid also introduced the rest of the women as they were all wives of the Coleman Family.

However, one of them had been looking at Kendall with an unfriendly gaze since she walked in. After the maid's introduction, Kendall knew that the woman was Dylan's mother and the wife of Tilly's eldest son.

Out of courtesy, Kendall greeted each of them, but they ignored her, except for Alice.

Tilly waited for Kendall to greet her before glancing over and saying warmly, "Sit."

"Thank you."

Dropping the formalities, Kendall found a place to sit and openly welcomed Alice's unbridled gaze, waiting for Tilly to start questioning her.

Tilly's idea was to bring her and Dylan together since there were rumors that Dylan could no longer do the deed. Dylan had never publicly denied the story, either. Even the Coleman Family didn't know if he still had that ability.

Tilly felt anxious and wanted to find someone to take care of Dylan as she thought that no matter how many bodyguards Dylan had, they weren't as meticulous as a woman. So, she wanted to help Dylan bring back a wife, and it would be even better if she could stop the rumors and prove that Dylan was still capable in that aspect.

If Dylan couldn't do the deed… He also had a free nanny to take care of him, so it wasn't something terrible.

However, she had looked through all the wealthy families in Orapolis but still couldn't find a young lady willing to marry Dylan. That was why Tilly had no choice but to fix her target on Kendall, who was the true heiress of the Parker Family.

In Tilly's heart, she looked down on Kendall. Although Kendall was the real young lady of the Parker Family, she was raised in the countryside and didn't fit any requirements to be Dylan's wife.

"I heard that Dylan had brought you back and let you live with him. I'm curious, so I asked you to come to meet me." Then, Tilly asked gently, "Did Dylan say why he brought you back?"

After Kendall heard Tilly's words, she was sure that Dylan had done the same as her and didn't tell his family they were married. Perhaps only Dylan's bodyguards knew that she was his wife.
