Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 381

Just then, a servant rushed in and announced deferentially, "Sir, ma'am, Miss Kendall and Master Dylan have arrived."

"Tell them to leave!" Kelly suddenly turned around and snapped at the servant. "Close the gates. We're not seeing anybody. Don't anyone dare let them in! Close the gates and shut it tight!"

No doubt all of the entertainment reporters in Orapolis were rushing over to besiege her. However, she didn't want to be surrounded or to be asked all sorts of humiliating questions.

Kelly was genuinely apprehensive and panic-stricken right then.

For someone who had been confident her whole life, this was her first time experiencing what it was like to be fearful.

She dared not face the results of her now publicized affair.

All she wanted now was to flee as far away as possible and leave this mess to her parents. She believed with her father's power, he could most certainly straighten it out for her.

She was also certain that Kendall had chosen to come home at this time to watch her humiliate herself.

Kelly only had two things in mind right then—Kendall couldn't come in, and Kendall couldn't see her in discomfiture.

Having said that, Kendall saw how Kelly had been belabored at the wedding banquet. Needless to say, Kendall had long seen her sister's discomfiture look.

Meanwhile, the servant looked to Adam and Charlotte for help, startled by Kelly's hollering.

At that, Charlotte chucked a box of tissue into Kelly's arms. "Clean your tears and snot away."

She then turned to the servant and ordered, "Lock the front gates after Kendall and Master Dylan come in. Don't open the door for anybody else after that. Keep a close eye on the situation outside. Don't let anyone climb in or call the cops straight."

To that, the servant obliged and scurried away.

At this point, even servants like them had learned of Kelly's scandal.

Does Miss Kelly really think she can stop the brewing storm from approaching by barricading people outside? We're now living in the age of the internet. Anybody can find out about anything in a snap!

"Mom, Kendall didn't even do anything to save me at the hotel. She must've come back to laugh at me. Don't let her come in. Tell her to go back to Coleman Residence. Don't let her come back until I leave for Albarife!"

"How can you blame Kendall for not helping you because Krystal belabored you for having done something so humiliating?! You consider yourself to be smarter than Kendall. She could give up and stay away from Jackson, so why couldn't you… This is Kendall's home, so she can come back whenever she wants. Why should she put up with you?"

At that, Kelly rose to her feet at once and snapped at Charlotte, saying, "Look at how partial you are toward Kelly, Mom! She's your biological daughter, so you'd naturally be partial to her. But because I'm not yours, you'd wish for nothing but the worst, don't you?! Not only that, you even mock me. You think I asked for this, don't you?!"

"Kelly Parker, how dare you talk to your mother like that!" Adam berated. "Have we not helped or advised you at all? What did you tell us, though? You told us that this is your problem, and you don't want us to get involved. We're not your birth parents, so what can we do when you want us to do nothing?! Have you not done this to yourself?! Is your mother wrong for saying this is Kendall's home, and she can come and go as she pleases? Why should she put up with you?!"

He continued, "Kelly, be honest with yourself. How have we treated you after what happened between you and Jackson last time? You turned down our well-intentioned arrangement, have you not? For all we know, you might be accusing us of throwing you far away so that we can focus wholly on Kendall!"

Adam's retort rendered Kelly speechless, making her unable to do anything but bawl.

"What can I do now, Dad? What's going to happen to me? How can I marry myself off now that they have all found out?! Brian wouldn't want me anymore now, no matter how much he loves me, would he? How can I be so stupid?! Why would I choose Jackson over Brian… Dad, Jackson is the one who used me!" Kelly wailed aggrievedly, thinking Jackson was the very reason she ended up like this.

Then, at the thought of her bleak future, Kelly cried even harder.

As Kendall and Dylan came in, they found Kelly grabbing Adam and wailing aggrievedly to him.

As soon as she footsteps, Kelly turned her head to find who else but Kendall standing behind Dylan, looking elegant, proper, and drop-dead gorgeous. Though Dylan was in a wheelchair, his innate splendor was unconcealable.

The two made a good match, with him a beau and Kendall a beauty.

Suddenly, Kendall grew beyond angry with jealousy toward Kendall.

Even when Dylan was wheelchair-bound and could never produce a progeny of his own, he was still leagues above Jackson.

At the very least, he would back Kendall up and not let her suffer any grievances or be bullied.

What about Jackson, though?

The man promised to shield her from harm's way and make her the happiest woman in the world. In actuality, he was the bringer of her misery!

Meanwhile, Kendall pushed Dylan closer.
