Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 182

Chapter 182

The one true love he had was Kelly. Kelly wasn't an easy opponent—Krystal would be easily defeated if placed beside her. "Kendall!" Jackson uttered with a grim look on his face. "Do you know how dangerous that was? You'd be a murderer if Krystal didn't know how to swim. You need to stop provoking fights between us. Since I've decided to marry Krystal, that means that I've decided to grow old with her. There's no point in you trying to tear us apart. I'm not going to marry you even if that happens. You're an evil woman—I'm thankful that you dumped me!" he growled.

Kendall laughed so hard that Jackson felt the urge to cut her tongue off. Unfortunately, he didn't have the guts for that—Kendall was too powerful for him. He couldn't defeat her at all. "I'm not going to fall for your trick, Kendall. I know that you're trying to ruin our relationship. We're definitely getting married to each other. You can just wait for our wedding invitation," Krystal hissed.

"Please promise that you'll invite me for the wedding dinner. I would just love to attend your wedding," Kendall managed to say those words before laughter consumed her again. Both Jackson and Kelly stared at her speechlessly. Kendall is such a shameless woman! they thought. Eventually, Leonel kept his fishing rod away and turned to Kendall. "Let's go, Miss Parker," he said.

After Kendall packed her stuff up, she walked behind Leonel. As she stepped past Jackson, she slowed her footsteps down and parted her lips to say something. However, Jackson didn't hear what she said at all. Krystal caught sight of this entire scene, and couldn't help but feel curious. She wanted to know what Kendall had said to Jackson.

Meanwhile, the truth was that Kendall hadn't said a single thing. She simply parted her lips to move, but Krystal wouldn't believe that. She would only be suspicious of Jackson. Then, they would keep bickering about this matter. One way or another, Kendall simply didn't want to see Jackson getting his way so easily. Besides, making his life miserable was one of her goals.

Jackson didn't genuinely have feelings for Krystal, after all. He only married her because he wanted to save Whittle Holdings. If both of them continued fighting, Jackson would eventually be more inclined toward Kelly, and Krystal would subsequently find herself being cheated on. She brought this upon herself since she offended me, Kendall thought.

Leonel was no longer in the mood to finish after Krystal's interference. However, he also gained new insights into Kendall. He realized that she wasn't just sharp with her words but that she was also competitive when it came to arguments. He realized that Kendall was an action-based woman who would rather fight with physical aggression rather than with her words. This aspect of her personality was attractive to Leonel.

"I'm afraid that the Caddel Family might tell the Zorn Family about you after they found out that you threw Miss Caddel into the river, Kendall. Things might look bad for the Parkers if the Zorn Family were to attack you guys. You should've been smart enough to control your temper earlier," he uttered with a pause. However, it was pretty cool for you to deal with matters right there and then. I respect that."


Kendall responded with a bitter laugh. "The Zorn Family would still be cruel to me even if I didn't hit Krystal and allowed her to label me as public transport that all men could enter, Mr. Dawson." Yasmine already had all her weapons pointed directly at Kendall, after all. It's not my fault that Master Dylan happens to be my husband, right? Why should I tolerate any of this, then?

"I'm especially particular about my relationships. I couldn't tolerate what she said about me," Kendall explained. She had no regrets after what she had done. But, of course, there was no point in having regrets either. What's done is done, Kendall thought.

"How did you and Mr. Whittle break up? I had heard about your relationship with him even when I was in Prestige Electronics,"

"There was no particular reason. I just realized that he wasn't as nice of a man as I thought. Furthermore, he isn't genuinely in love with me. So, what's the purpose of keeping a man who doesn't love you?" she said with a hint of anger.

It was ideal for both parties to have feelings for one another in a marriage. However, if that wasn't achievable, then Kendall believed that a woman should find a man who loved her more than she loved him. Marrying a man she loved more would be tiring, as she'd have to sacrifice a lot.

"What about your feelings toward Master Dylan and President Mendelson?" he asked.

She couldn't help but let out a chuckle as she spoke candidly. "Krystal was talking nonsense, Mr. Dawson. Do you think I'd have the guts to seduce any of those men? I'm just a young girl; do you think I can do it? I still want to enjoy my life, you know?"

On the other side of the world, Frank gazed at the mother of his child gloomily. "I would love for you to flirt with me, Kendall. When are you coming over? Just let me know.''

Leonel thought about Dylan's situation and the sort of person that Frank was, and he figured that what Kendall said was probably true. However, rumors and gossip wouldn't just surface out of nowhere, so there had to be a grain of truth in them for Krystal to come up with such a statement.

Since Kendall refused to get married to Dylan, he probably held a grudge against her after that. When I previously caused trouble to Kendall in an attempt to stand up for Dylan, Dylan hadn't protested my actions. So, I don't think it's possible for them to have the relationship that Krystal claimed they had. That means that someone must dislike Kendall and must be trying to tarnish her reputation, Leonel thought.

In the end, Leonel gazed at Kendall before speaking in a thoughtful voice. "Both Master Dylan and President Mendelson are way out of your league. You're a smart woman, so you shouldn't fantasize about such things," he said.

Kendall beamed. "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Dawson. I understand. I'm sorry about today, by the way,"
