Jackson's mood lifted because Kelly was still caring about him. "Yeah, don't worry about it. Nobody can see me naked. Nobody but you."

"I'm going in now, Jackson. I'll call you later." She hung up before he could say anything. Can't let Mom hear that. She then took her car keys and went inside hurriedly.

"Miss Kelly, welcome home." The maid was coming downstairs, holding a glass of milk.

"Is Mom upstairs? She didn't drink her milk?"

The servant answered, "The madam is upset for some reason. She wouldn't drink this."

"Do you know why she's upset? Is this about Kendall?" Kelly wanted to know why Charlotte wanted her to come home all of a sudden.

The maid shook her head. She had no idea either.

Since she could not get any answers, she said, "You should get some rest. Give me the milk."

The maid gave Kelly the milk. Charlotte had a mild case of insomnia, and she would have a glass of milk every night to help her sleep. Kelly held the glass of milk and came to Charlotte's room, then knocked on the door. "Mom? It's me, Kelly."

"What is it?"

"Mom, you wanted me to come home, remember?"

A moment of silence later, Charlotte said, "It's alright now."

Kelly clenched the glass tightly. And I thought something urgent came up. I came all the way back right after she told me to, and now she says it's alright? "You haven't had your milk yet, Mom. You should drink up." Kelly was upset, but she hid it well. She kept the patient daughter act going and said, "You need a glass of milk to sleep better."

"I don't want to. I'm really upset, Kelly. Go away and don't disturb me."

"You can tell me what's troubling you, Mom."

Charlotte said nothing. A few minutes later, Kelly called out to her again, but Charlotte ignored her. In the end, she turned around and went back downstairs.

Adam came back in a hurry a moment later.

"Dad." Kelly stood up, still holding her phone. She just texted Jackson and knew that he had changed into new clothes, cleaned his wounds, and gotten his injections. She felt better knowing that.

"Where's your mother, Kelly?"

"She's in her room. I knocked on her door, but she wouldn't come out. She didn't even drink her milk. Did you cheat on her or something, Dad?"

Adam smiled sheepishly. "No. I'll see your mother now." He went upstairs quickly.

Kelly thought that her father must have cheated on Charlotte. Does Dad have a mistress out there somewhere? Did he sire another kid? She was curious and worried. Kendall's already taking a cut from the inheritance. If another kid comes into the equation, they won't give much to me.

Her curiosity egged her on, and she went upstairs quietly. Kelly came to her parents' room and listened to the conversation within. She could hear sounds of arguments, and her mother seemed to be crying. Kelly could not hear the content no matter how much she tried though, so she went back to her room.

Adam sat beside his wife, holding a packet of tissues. He kept pulling tissues out to wipe Charlotte's tears away. The man whispered, "I didn't mean to hide this from you, honey. Dylan said I can't tell you about it."

"You guys kept this a secret from me? Kendall, my poor girl. She's not going to have any sex life now." The fact that her only daughter was married to a crippled, impotent, and evil man like Dylan crushed her heart. "She just came back to us for a year. We haven't even made it up to her yet, and now she's married to… to him. It's all your fault, Adam. If you refused the Colemans' request, Kendall wouldn't have gone to see Dylan. None of this would have happened then!" Charlotte yelled at Adam as she cried her heart out.
