Chapter 141






























Ring. Ring. Ring.

Kendall answered the ringing phone for her father.

"Sir, President Mendelson is here." As soon as she heard that, she quickly handed over the phone to Adam, who then asked her to excuse herself. "Kendall, you may leave first."

"Got it." She turned around and left instantly as she had no intention of meeting the incoming visitor at all.

Now that Adam was alone in the office, he asked Jessie, "Where is he right now?"

"He's already in the elevator."

He acknowledged with a grunt and responded, "Got it."

Meanwhile, Kendall went to the elevator instead of Jessie's office as she wanted to see Kelly. No matter how deep her resentment was, she still had to admit that she was a mere newcomer who had much more to learn from Kelly, the superior.

Despite her desire for revenge, Kendall had accepted the reality that being reborn alone was not enough to achieve her goals. Getting stronger was her utmost priority right now if she wanted to stomp over her adversaries one by one. She could also have resorted to homicide by putting an end to Jackson and Kelly's lives, but her future would then be jeopardized as that would be equivalent to flushing her rebirth down the drain.

Unlike her, the female leads in novels could always easily get back at their enemies after rebirth. She was jealous of that ability, but she could only bide her time. She had a lifetime to wait for the day she could trample both of them beneath her feet and deprive them of everything. By then, all they had would be nothing but themselves; they would become the rats which everyone despised in the sewer.

Just as Kendall was about to step into the elevator as the door opened, Frank came out with a group of bodyguards behind him. To her dismay, they met again. Instinctively, she took a few steps back before smiling politely. "Greetings, President Mendelson."

While she was glancing at his foot, the sight of the bodyguard pushing out a wheelchair caused her lips to twitch.

"Master." The bodyguard assisted Frank into the wheelchair from behind. Next, Frank lifted his injured leg to remove the leather shoe. Though he was still wearing a sock, one could easily see the swollen part of his foot.

"Is your foot still swollen?"

He hummed that he was fine in response. He could walk into Adam's office on his own if Kendall was not here.

Finally, his actions successfully pricked her guilty conscience. "Did you apply some medicine?"

"I don't like the smell." In other words, he did not apply the medication, which resulted in the continuous swelling.

Looking into his deep eyes, she realized that they were similar to Dylan's cold and aloof gaze. Both men could easily conjure the fear in one, so it was unbearable to lock eyes with them for a long time.

"If you don't tend to it, it won't recover anytime soon, President Mendelson."

However, Frank did not utter a word as his eyes were focused upon her, as if it read, I'm the victim here. You should tend to my injury as the assailant.

After taking a deep breath, Kendall decided to gloss it over by saying, "You must be here to see President Parker. He is waiting for you in his office. I shall take my leave first so as to not waste your precious time."

Then, she strode past Frank, who remained indifferent on the wheelchair. Still, he could not help the urge to look at her entering the elevator until she disappeared behind the closed door. His fingers tapped on the armrest for a while before he broke the silence. "Bring me to the office."

His 'mission' today was to listen to the excuse that Adam, the mercenary man, would give to decline the proffered partnership.

On the other hand, Toddy entered the president's office in the Coleman Empire Holdings before Dylan inquired, "How did it go?"

"Everyone's springing on their feet, as expected. As long as they have circuit boards that we need, they're attempting to take the contract down by all means." Toddy poured himself a cup of warm water to quench his thirst. After polishing it off, he filled the cup again, causing his superior to glance at him.
