Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 642 Kelly’s Malevolence

"I've already planned everything out, Kelly. You should get them to leave the house even if they're not in the mood to have fun. Perhaps you can suggest a change in location. You should try to get them to head out. It'd be so much easier for us to get things done today since Kendall and Master Dylan are not around," Rosemi uttered. She had always been an impatient woman, and she was eager to end the Parker Family's lives that day.

Even if she couldn't kill Kendall, she was content with just killing Adam and Charlotte for Kelly's sake. Kendall was the reason that the Whittle Family went bankrupt, and Rosemi wanted to give Kendall a taste of her own medicine. "Give me some time to think this through. I'll contact you in a while," Kelly uttered before ending the call. After that, she paced around her room as she contemplated the situation.

Mrs. Whittle is right. Our plan can easily be achieved today since Dylan and Kendall aren't around. I'll have to find a way to get Mommy and Daddy out of the house. I can't use work as an excuse since it's a weekend, so… I'll have to come up with a personal reason. Kelly thought about this for a long while, but she couldn't seem to come up with a flawless plan. In the end, she decided to get herself involved—she figured she could act as bait.

After a few minutes, Charlotte noticed Kelly heading out of the house. "Your leg is still hurting, and it's still sunny outside. Is something the matter? Why do you have to leave the house?" Charlotte asked.

"I have some urgent matters to attend to, Mommy. It's Brian, he… Anyway, I can drive, Mommy." Kelly intentionally brought Brian's name into the conversation. When Charlotte found out Kelly was rushing out to meet Brian, her expression turned hard and cold. Even Sally shot Kelly a rather disappointed frown. However, Kelly simply hurried out of the house without providing much of a detailed explanation.

Eventually, Kelly succeeded in driving herself out of the house, and Charlotte was left fuming at home. "We still care for Kelly as much as ever, but look at her, Sally! I'm so disappointed in her. She's pregnant, and her leg is hurting, yet she still insists on rushing out after receiving a call from Brian," Charlotte complained. "She… Mrs. Zorn called me a few times to lecture me about the way I educate my daughter. She claimed that I was a bad parent to Kelly and that I was the reason Kelly's so flirtatious. She even said she would break Kelly's leg if she ever saw Kelly hang out with Brian!"

Charlotte continued, "It's a shame that Kelly doesn't listen to us. If she were more receptive to our words, then she and Jackson wouldn't have… Kelly used to be such a levelheaded girl. I don't know what got into her." Her voice was filled with exasperation and guilt. Both Charlotte and Adam used to be proud of Kelly—they used to think they were good parents because of how well Kelly was doing. They thought they had done a good job in nurturing their younger generation. So what if we don't have a son? Our daughter can be the heir, and she can run the business just as well as any other man! That was what Charlotte used to think. However, she could no longer bring herself to talk about Kelly in front of others at that point. Sally seemed somewhat troubled upon hearing Charlotte's words. "It's not your fault, Mrs. Parker. Kelly is just… too ambitious." Kelly cannot bring herself to give up on everything that the Parker Family has. She's competing against Kendall for the Parker Family's inheritance and is trying to find her support system because Kendall has Dylan as support. But the men around Kelly are no match for Dylan! They wouldn't even put up a fight! Sally thought.

"I'll talk to her when she's back. I don't care if she'll listen—I have to do my best to talk to her since I'm her mother. I can't allow her to do this to herself anymore," Sally uttered.

Adam was silent for a while before he joined the conversation. "Milo, Sally… Since you guys are here, I'll tell you what my plans for Kelly are. I'll officially terminate her position in the company during our meeting on Monday and send her to Albarife, where she'll take over one of our branches. She'll inherit that company once we're gone. She'll have to cut ties with Brian and Jackson once she's out of Orapolis, and she can start a new life in Albarife. This will be good for both her and her child—she'd be able to focus more on parenting her child in the future. If she stayed in Orapolis, she'd continue to mess around with those men and ruin her reputation even more. That would be detrimental to her child's future," Adam explained. "Kelly might not be my biological daughter, but I watched her grow up. We still have a bond between us, so I'll make sure to allocate a few other shop lots and properties for her. I'll make sure she doesn't have to worry about money in the future."

Adam felt the need to explain himself, as he was worried that the Woodses would find him too heartless otherwise. He didn't want them to think he was cutting ties with Kelly without giving her anything. "Kelly is a part of the Woods Family, Adam. How could you share Kendall's inheritance with her? Kelly has already enjoyed tons of benefits that weren't supposed to be for her. Now, we don't owe each other anything, and you don't need to repay us in any way. She has the skills, so she can handle things on her own," said Milo. Sally seemed to agree with her husband as well.

"Milo, Sally, stop trying to convince us otherwise. Charlotte and I have spoken about this matter, and we'll stick to our plan. We were the ones who raised Kelly, after all. She's still a daughter to us. We can't bear the thought of mistreating her." Adam was insistent on sending Kelly away for good. He didn't want her to have any further interactions with Brian, and he didn't want the public to criticize her for being a cheap woman. As a father, Adam felt both angry and helpless to hear such harsh comments about his daughter. He felt helpless as he couldn't stop his daughter from acting in ways that made her look cheap and flirtatious. "But—" Sally wanted to protest.

"Kendall has Master Dylan now, and it won't take much for her to find happiness. Parker Corporation will eventually go to her, of course. However, I don't think Kendall can handle the whole company at the moment, so I'll hold onto it for a few more years." Adam knew that he wasn't biased toward his biological daughter. Parker Corporation belonged to the Parker Family, so he planned to leave the company for his biological daughter.

On the other hand, Adam and Charlotte were also generous with what they gave to Kelly. "Of course. You guys have already given Kelly more than we can ask for," Sally replied with a grateful tone. Meanwhile, Milo simply let out a loud sigh without saying much. He was well aware of Kelly's personality, and he knew she would still be resentful of the situation, no matter how thoughtful and kind the Parker couple were.
