Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 75

"Ms. Zetta, inform Manager Sho that I want him to come with me to Coleman Empire Holdings right this instant."

Tom knew that the best way to save themselves from this situation was to let the public witness how pleasant the conversation was between him and Dylan or Toddy.

He wouldn't even need to address those rumors to make them disappear.

As for the Coleman Empire Holdings wanting to stop collaborating with them, Tom was sure that there was a good reason behind it, and he was going to ask and know about it no matter what.

"Understood," Dina answered before she hurried to Manager Sho.

"What about me, Father?" Jackson asked. He wanted to follow along as well.

Tom only glared at him and huffed, "You stay here and think about what you night have done that got on Master Dylan's nerves. Our families have always been on peaceful terms, but it only took one visit from you to Coleman Mansion to create all this mess!"

"Father, I really didn't do anything that would drag our company name through the mud!" Jackson whined, feeling wronged.

"I am sure you were the reason! You must have offended the Colemans when you and your mother went to propose to Kendall at the Parker Residence. D*mmit, Jackson Whittle! Are you this desperate for a wife? Why did you have to try to fight over one with the Colemans?"

This was the only thing Tom could think of that might have offended Dylan.

"Father, we were the ones who proposed first," Jackson muttered.

The Colemans only went after the Whittles did. Shouldn't the sequence they went to Kendall count as something?!

"Kendall must have threatened to harm herself in front of Master Dylan as her rejection of his proposal in order to marry you, then. This is why he is taking his revenge on us," Tom said.

"But Father, Master Dylan told me that he would prepare a generous gift for Kendall and I when we get engaged. He would even come to the engagement banquet." It was because of Dylan's words that Jackson had gotten so excited about wanting to get engaged and married to Kendall.

Tom was getting more confused by the minute. "You better stay away from Kendall. She is a walking curse. You can tell just from the way she fervently rejected the wedding proposal that she will only cause trouble for her future husband."

After throwing that out, Tom scurried out of his office, and made way to Coleman Empire Holdings with Dina and Manager Sho in tow.

The only thing was, Dylan had left a long time ago by the time the trio arrived at his company.

It was lunchtime, after all.

Kendall was still peacefully having lunch with Charlotte, having no idea of the commotion that was going on in the business world.

The mother and daughter were happily putting food onto each other's plates.

"You are home, Ms. Kelly. Mrs. Parker and Ms. Kendall are having lunch together. Have you had your meal? Let me grab you a plate," the servant's words rang out, accompanied by Kelly's urgent footsteps. Her appearance immediately disturbed the peace between Kendall and Charlotte.

"Kelly!" Charlotte exclaimed with a surprised expression on her face when she saw Kelly rushing into the house. She then asked caringly, "Have you eaten, Kelly? Come join us if you haven't."

Kelly was trying her best to keep her bubbling temper at bay when she forced a smile. "Mommy, I had a meal with my biological mother when I was taking care of her at the hospital earlier."

Kendall sent a mouthful of food into her mouth and glanced over at her. "What's with your quick steps and fake smile? You got something going on with you, Kelly?" she casually asked.

"I am fine. Mommy, go ahead and have lunch with Kendall. I will be waiting for Kendall in the living room. I have some questions for her."

Kelly had managed to hold it in and not question Kendall in front of Charlotte.

After that, she turned around and walked out of the dining hall, leaving Charlotte confused.

Kendall, however, didn't have a change in her expression. Despite that, she was actually curious about what Kelly wanted to ask her after rushing home like that.

After 30 minutes went by, the sisters in name walked together along a narrow, shaded path within the villa's compound.

They might look like they were taking a stroll, but only Kendall knew how hard Kelly was suppressing her anger.

This only made Kendall more curious if she had unknowingly done something that pissed Kelly off again.

Now that they were in an isolated area far away from the villa and everyone else, Kelly finally came to a stop.

She then rather abruptly turned around and swung her hand at Kendall's face.

Fortunately, Kendall was quick enough to stop the incoming assault.

"Oh—Kelly. Since when were you into slapping people across their faces, huh? Have you considered the consequences of hitting me on my face? How do you plan on explaining yourself to Daddy and Mommy?"

Kendall then nonchalantly threw Kelly's hand away, a smile plastered on her beautiful face the whole while. That act she put on as if she was worried about Kelly only made the latter want to tear her apart.

To Kelly, the Kendall she was looking at now was nothing but a phony.

"Kendall, stop putting on your goody two-shoes act in front of me. You are finally showing your true colors after you have been here for a year. The only reason you came back to us is because you are a greedy b*tch who is eyeing the family's wealth!"

"This is my home, and all the property under the family's name belongs to my parents. They can give it to whoever they want to in the future. You are making it sound like I have malicious intent."
