Chapter 552

Kendall's rationality returned after the split-second impulse.

She would never murder, let alone commit any crimes.

What she could do was prove that Kelly had malicious intentions, then use the evidence to put Kelly behind bars. That way, she would have avenged her parents, her daughter, and herself from their past lives.

"My men are keeping an eye on her and the Zorns in secret. Frank's men too. We will immediately know if they devised any schemes or whatnot." Dylan comforted her with a hit of jealousy.

Though Frank seemed to have dropped his feelings for Kendall for good, his men were still helping Kendall in secret, and he was still Kendall's guardian angel. It made Dylan want to beat the man up.

If you're so free, go and stare at Amelia! Why stare at someone else's wife?!

"It's great to have you, darling!"

"And I, you," said Dylan with an affectionate smile, leading Kendall to cup his cheeks and kiss him.

After another loving, lingering kiss, the couple finally left the office and headed to a hotel for dinner before Dylan personally sent Kendall to the etiquette school, where he waited outside until Kendall finished her lesson for the day instead of leaving.

The loving couple was practically inseparable.

On the other hand, Toddy was made infuriated by his boss' decision and wanted to get even with him. However, Dylan had already left his office, and Toddy knew the issue had become irreversible when Dylan wouldn't answer his calls.

Emma had been transferred to Parker Corporation and would be working as Kendall's secretary. Kendall's just a CEO's assistant at Parker Corporation. She doesn't even have her own office, and yet Master Dylan transferred Emma over to be Kendall's assistant?! I swear to God…


Toddy was beyond livid, but he also knew he was hoisted by his own petard.

Dylan had reminded him multiple times, but he remained obstinate. Now, he changed his mind, but he was a step too late.

Emma was working overtime that night as she had to get all her work down and hand them over to Toddy before reporting for duty at Parker Corporation, where she would be assisting Kendall regardless of the latter's position in the company.

No doubt President Parker would also be happy to see her assisting Kendall.

Two large vases had been placed near her desk and a bouquet of flowers in each. One of them was from Roger, who delivered them in the evening.

Knowing she had to work overtime, Roger even got her two boxes of pastries after treating her to lunch so that she could eat in the office in case she worked past midnight and got hungry.

Sure, Roger wasn't a man of many words, but he paid attention to the minute details, and Emma felt secure and well cared for when she was with him.

Suddenly a shadow cast over her, causing her to look up and land on Toddy's raven-black eyes.

"Mr. Heller," Emma greeted plainly. "What brings you here?"

"Overtime," Toddy answered gravely. "I'm working overtime too."

At that, he looked toward the two large vases. As Roger had gotten her a large bouquet, Emma deliberately got a large vase.

However, as beautiful as the two bouquets were, Toddy wanted to get a massive pair of garden shears to snip them bare.

Emma followed his line of sight and said, "The flowers Mr. Roger got me are pretty, aren't they? Even you can't look away."

To that, Toddy commented, "A corny bouquet. Does he not know other pairings other than roses and Baby's-breath? You're only treasuring them because someone has suddenly given you two bouquets when no one has ever tried to win your heart over or got you flowers."

"What makes you think I've never received flowers? I used to—"

"You bought them yourself and had the florist deliver them to you."

How do you know?! Emma was taken aback.

She really was the one behind all those flowers she received.

That said, she had orchestrated the whole thing to see if Toddy genuinely felt nothing for her, and the result was, well, heart-deadening. However, just as she was about to turn and leave, Toddy attempted to make her stay.

Ha! How ridiculous?! She spent years trying to win his heart, but he turned her down and even treated it with impassiveness.
