Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 142

Toddy paused momentarily before reciprocating, "Your wife is really skillful with her hands."

Looking at Dylan's soft gaze, he clicked his tongue with commendation toward Kendall for being able to waver the heart of a cold-blooded man.

"I agree. Though she lived in the countryside, she's a talented one for sure." Dylan joined the complimentary conversation as he genuinely thought that he and Kendall made the perfect couple.

"Any news about Parker Corporation?" He suddenly steered the subject.

Toddy flashed a smile. "Board circuits production has been their main division and they only branched out to different industries recently. So, I don't see how they could possibly pass up this opportunity, but Mendelson Group is pestering them for a partnership. It's just that Adam… That sly fox keeps holding up his decision."

"That's because I'm his son-in-law. Or else, he would've cooperated with them ages ago."

Who would be able to resist the temptation when Frank was the one offering the deal? Parker Corporation was indeed notable, but it was not on the same level as the prominent companies like the Coleman Empire Holdings and Mendelson Group. All Adam had was a few branches under the company, unlike the Mendelson Group, which had achieved hard-won achievements in various fields.

"Rumors have it that Adam is going to have the sisters to take on the project this time—it's your wife and her stepsister."

Dylan responded, "I reckon Kelly volunteered herself while Kendall is just following Adam's order."

Toddy elaborated his own surmise he had in mind, "He's desperate to nurture Kendall as a qualified successor. After knowing that your very own successor is not of your own blood, it's human nature to want to support your own child. Kelly can't blame anyone for it unless Miss Parker refuses to work hard for it."

Noticing Dylan's dim face, he added hastily, "But with a supportive husband like you, she'll be able to win the game in the end."

Dylan pursed his lips. "Contact the best etiquette school in the city for Kendall. Since she's only available at night, check whether the school is willing to accept her application or not."

Toddy blinked his eyes in confusion. "The renowned Mrs. Coleman is going to an etiquette school? Why don't you seek help from your grandmother? She's the best tutor you can search for, anyway."

From the day that she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Old Madam Coleman had spent her whole life in the beau monde, rendering her the epitome of etiquette itself.

Dylan pinched his Aries toy as he explained, "She doesn't like Kendall. If I ask her for help, Kendall will only end up having a hard time. She is my grandmother, someone whom I revere the most, while Kendall is my wife. They are the ones I'll be spending my whole life with. No matter which side I stand on, one of them is bound to be hurt. So, an etiquette school will be the best option for now. Kendall has the elite blood in her. It's just that she grew up in a different environment. During the one year spent with the Parker Family, my mother-in-law felt guilty and had overindulged her instead of teaching the customary decorum that she needs to know. That's why she still has many bad habits to change. Give her some time. She'll be a brand new person after that."

In his opinion, Kendall was a diamond that was yet to be polished and had a huge space for improvement.

"Fine, fine. I'll help you. She's your wife; I'm sure any school will vie just to accept her enrollment even if she can only attend midnight lessons. With Mrs. Coleman as one of their students, I bet they won't have to worry about the student count for eternity."

However, Toddy was curious about something. "But aren't you going to do anything when your wife meets Leonel with her sister? He is a man of capability but with a shortcoming of liking young girls. I have a bad impression of your wife and I know that she's a gorgeous young woman."

Dylan could easily read between the lines and Toddy knew he was worried about Kendall when he accidentally pinched the toy too hard, causing the toy to squeak.

"She won't want that. Even though I can protect her for life, Kendall wouldn't want to stay behind my shadows for her entire life."
