Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 360

"It's up to you whether we're getting a boy or a girl." Kendall decided to leave that question for Dylan to answer.

"Yeah, maybe you're right. It's up to me." Dylan smiled, thinking their family gene was to blame for the Coleman

Family's struggle in getting a daughter as their firstborn. Hugging the lady in his arm, Dylan gently said, "Well, let's

just forget about what my mom said and focus on the two of us for now."

After all, while Dylan and Kendall were not in a hurry to have a child, they had been taking safety precautions every

time they shared an intimate moment. Although Dylan and Kendall would be happy and grateful if they could get a

girl as their firstborn, they would not be concerned either if they failed to do so because they could wait for another

few more years.

"When a woman marries a man, she has to learn how to fit into his family. So, don't worry about me, Darling. I'll do

my best to change your mom's mind and convince her not to pressure me into getting a daughter as our firstborn."

"Kendall." Dylan planted a kiss on her forehead. When he saw her squinting in enjoyment, he chuckled and

whispered his confession to her ear. "I love you, Kendall."

Kendall's eyes were left wide open as they were filled with joy and excitement. The next moment, she wrapped her

arms around the man, showing her love with her action rather than words.

Meanwhile, Brian had already drunk two cups of coffee at Urban Break when Kelly showed up late at the

rendezvous. "Here, Kelly." When Brian saw Kelly, he raised his hand and walked toward her.

At the same time, Kelly was seen wearing a beige long dress that accentuated her slim and attractive figure. Since

she was tall, her high heels and the long dress made her seem even more slender. Besides that, she let her hair

straggle freely behind her shoulders with a hairband on her head while wearing the Cartier necklace that Charlotte

gave her earlier and a pair of Cartier earrings that made her look gorgeous and elegant. Apart from that, she

appeared to be carrying a Hermes' purse, which was a gift that Brian gave her during one of her birthdays.

Nevertheless, she never wore or used any of the gifts that Brian gave her during her birthdays because she didn't

want Jackson to get jealous even though they might be expensive and branded. "I'm sorry for having made you

wait, Brian." Kelly apologized in embarrassment. "Something came up at home, and I needed to take care of it

before I could come."

Brian smiled and replied, "It's alright. I would wait until tomorrow as long as you were coming." He then asked in a

concerned manner, "What happened? Did Kendall come looking for trouble again? Did your parents side with her

this time?"

"She didn't mess with me this time. It's her parents-in-law who visited us, instead. While it was the first time her

parents and her husband's met earlier today, I can’t believe she secretly met up with Jackson, who came to my

house and pissed my parents off. And guess what? The members of the Coleman Family saw him too." Kelly

continued to twist the story of what happened that day as Brian sat her down chivalrously.

"It's up to you whether we're getting a boy or a girl." Kendall decided to leave that question for Dylan to answer.

"That's her problem, and you should stay out of it before you get yourself into any unnecessary trouble." Brian

returned to his seat after Kelly sat down and said, "Let me get you a cup of coffee."

"I don't drink coffee at this hour because I don't want to struggle to fall asleep later at night, but I'm feeling hungry

right now, so maybe I'll order some pastries and a glass of water." Kelly tried to stay off caffeine since she was

pregnant.

Brian replied with an affirmative hum and went ahead to order Kelly's favorite pastries and a glass of water as she

wished. "How did Dylan react when Jackson showed up?" The man let his curiosity take over him, although he said

he was not interested in learning about Kendall's status. Dylan is no different from a handicap. So even if he does

get married, will Kendall be willing to stay by his side forever? I can't wait for the day he gets cheated on to arrive.

At the thought of that, Brian gleefully wished Dylan to suffer from a broken relationship with Kendall since the latter

was so successful in his career.

"Dylan was so obsessed over Kendall that he couldn't think straight. After she fed him with more of her lies and

splashed a bucket of water at Jackson, Dylan believed every word she said without question. However, my parents

were very upset, and it took me a long time just to pacify them, which was why I came here late."

At the thought of the change in Kendall's personal development, Brian said, "It seems that Kendall has changed a

lot. I can't believe she's become so cunning that she now has Dylan under her spell. She is the reason Dylan's

company and mine are rivals."

Kelly apologetically said, "I'm sorry, Brian. I was indirectly responsible for the trouble that Zorn Holdings was at odds

with Coleman Empire Holdings." Back then, Kelly intentionally leaked out details about an important project to

Yasmine, which later gave Zorn Holdings an opportunity to steal the deal away from Parker Corporation. However,

that move had also put Zorn Holdings in a difficult position because the company had just become the enemy of

Coleman Empire Holdings.

At that moment, Kelly had no idea that Kendall was Dylan's wife because if she had known that, she wouldn't have

done something like that. Also, that was the reason she was always on the losing end in her infighting with Kendall.

Although she managed to create some confusion that made the members of the Coleman Family misunderstand

Kendall, she didn't benefit much from the situation either, considering how badly Jackson was injured. After a

heated argument with him, she was overwhelmed by sympathy and guilt.

"It wasn't your fault. We were just so eager to stand up for Yasmine that we unknowingly let our emotions take over

us." Brian couldn't bear to blame it all on Kelly as he quickly consoled her the moment she apologized, telling her

not to beat herself up. After Kelly took some pastries and drank half of her glass of water, Brian gently asked, "You

said there's a business deal I might be interested in. What's it?"

Kelly looked around her to make sure there was no one else she knew around them and spoke with a soft voice.

"Brian, I'd like you to start a new company in which the two of us are going to be shareholders. Then, I'm going to

secretly transfer all our clients from Parker Corporation to our new company."

Hearing the lady's words, Brian was stunned, asking with a hushed voice, "Are you trying to build a company to rival

Parker Corporation? Have your parents told you that Kendall is going to take over Parker Corporation? What does

that peasant know about running a company? Does she have what it takes to manage?" After all, he knew Parker

Corporation was a strong company with a promising future, although it was still no match for Coleman Empire

Holdings, Zorn Holdings, and Mendelson Group.

"They haven't said anything yet, but it's true that my dad is currently training Kendall to take over his business. In

fact, he even wants to transfer me to Albarife, which is a place far away from Orapolis, so that I won't become a

competitor for Kendall." Kelly depicted her foster father, Adam, as a prejudiced father who favored Kendall. "Brian,

I wish you could know how much I've sacrificed to get this far and become the vice president of the company.

Therefore, I will not let Kendall claim all my credit for herself. For that, I'm planning to transfer all my clients to our

new company while slowly draining the funds from Parker Corporation. If my dad decides to hand Parker

Corporation over to me, I'm going to make it rise again; but if he doesn't, I will have had enough resources to build

my own company."

Brian nodded, agreeing with Kelly's plan. "But Kelly, your father is not a 3-year-old kid. While it may be easy for you

to transfer all your clients away, the same cannot be said for draining the funds from Parker Corporation. If you

blow your cover by accident and alarm your dad, he may call the cops and have you arrested. By then, it won't end

well for you."

Kelly's face blanched when she heard that. After all, everything she knew about running the company was taught by

her father, so it wouldn't be easy to trick him, let alone drain the funds from Parker Corporation. What intimidated

Kelly even more was the fact that Parker Corporation was now backed by the Coleman Empire Holdings, as if the

situation wasn't bad enough.
