Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 208

Chapter 207

Faced with this attractive world full of temptations, Tilly didn't believe that Kendall would be able to focus solely on Dylan for the rest of her life. Tilly was confident that it would be impossible for Kendall to resist the basic temptations of human nature and take the wrong step thereafter.

Their only mission was to collect evidence and once the timing was right, they would be able to kick Kendall out of the family immediately.

Emily expressed her concern, "Mom, what if Dylan realizes what we did and loses his temper? What should we do then?"

Tilly looked at her and was slightly disgruntled. "I'm his grandma and I brought him up single-handedly. I've nurtured him and brought him up well. You're his mother and even though he's not that close to you, he respects you too. Even if he loses his temper, what could he do to the two of us?"

"Are you really going to accept Kendall as your daughter-in-law? Dylan hasn't regained complete mobility right now and he can't move around as any normal person so Kendall's presence would be useful in getting him to persist in doing physiotherapy. Once he regains mobility, even if he files for divorce with Kendall, there would be plenty of women waiting to marry him if he wants a second marriage."

"Then, Dylan can't…"

Tilly responded calmly, "As long as Dylan agrees to see a doctor, his issue can be treated."

However, Emily remained concerned. "Mom, you've seen Dylan's response earlier. If we actually take action against Kendall, he might move out—"

"That's why I told you to send someone to keep an eye on Kendall and tackle things from her end. If she ends up doing something to betray Dylan's trust then we wouldn't even need to do anything to her because he would kick her out himself and get a divorce with her. There isn't a single man on earth who could accept a wife that cheated on him."

"But what if Kendall is firm enough to not cheat on him?"

Tilly rolled her eyes at Emily. "There are too many temptations in the outside world. If Kendall can fall in love at first sight with a man like Jackson before turning her back on him to marry Dylan, then surely that indicates that she's not loyal in her love. Once she encounters a handsome man who treats her nicely then she wouldn't be able to resist the temptation."

Emily considered the situation and found that Tilly's words made perfect sense.

After Kendall had returned to the Parker Family, she had fallen in love with Jackson at first sight and was even obsessed with him. In order to marry Jackson, she had resorted to all sorts of tactics and she didn't even care about offending the Coleman Family.

However, suddenly, she ended up marrying Dylan out of nowhere and she changed her mind so swiftly. That was a clear indication of how fickle she was.

"Mom, I get it. I'll make sure to follow your instructions."

"Okay, just be careful. Other than the two of us, don't let anyone else know this, not even Fergus. He's always trying to play nice and sit on the fence."

Tilly knew the personality of her eldest son very well. Fergus hadn't held control of Coleman Empire Holdings for too long because he had just been the bridge. She and her husband had only retired upon Dylan reaching adulthood.

While Dylan went through the challenges and hardships, Fergus had been the president of the company then.

Frankly, Tilly hadn't been too pleased with her eldest son. He wasn't exactly incompetent but he was not sharp enough in his ways. He was not as dominant and decisive in his ways as Dylan.

As such, there were a lot of things that she was reluctant to let Fergus know to prevent him from ruining her plans.

"Mom, I got it."

Naturally, Emily didn't want anyone else to know about this as she was worried that Dylan would kick up a fuss if he realized.

Based on Dylan's personality, he would definitely retaliate and arrange for his people to spy on her and restrict her freedom. Naturally, no one would wish to be spied upon.

Meanwhile, Kendall was oblivious to the plots of both her mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law. She was led out of the main house by Dylan and they left the mansion together.

Along the way to work, Dylan turned to her. "My mom's asked for a day off on your behalf, so just skip work in the morning. I'll go with you to the hospital. Sally will be discharged today, right? Let's go and take her from the hospital to send her home. We can head to work in the afternoon."

In response, Kendall nodded meekly. "Sure."

She leaned her head on his shoulders and asked in a soft voice, "Dylan, do you feel burdened after you married me? Although I'm the actual daughter of the Parker Family, I was switched at birth so I grew up under Sally's care. Even though she gave me the best of everything that she could afford, they mean nothing in your social circle. I'm still regarded as a country bumpkin. I'm not like Kelly, who has the ability to take control of a large corporation, handle business dealings, sign off a deal, and handle everything with ease. I've just entered the corporate world, so I have to start fresh in everything. In the outside world, I am of no benefit at all. At home, I'm a burden to you and I am constantly the source of argument and conflict for you and your family members."

This was the first time ever that Kendall experienced the pressure of being in a marriage that was unequal in terms of social status.

Dylan wrapped his arms around her shoulders and purposely heaved a sigh. "Yes, I feel so burdened but what can I do about that? I've been branded by your mark and either way, I would have to take your hand in marriage or wait for you to take mine."

To think that she wanted to take the hand of the Young Master of the Coleman Family in marriage… Dylan grimaced at the thought of that. He couldn't believe the guts of her to mention such words to him and he hadn't done anything to her at all too.

From the start, their lives had been intertwined by fate.

"Dylan…"

"Kendall, I would do everything for you willingly."
