Love Knows No Bounds

After hearing Kelly's words, Jackson hesitantly said, "Kendall treats me like an enemy now. She won't help me even if I were to approach her first."

That woman has cold-heartedly un-loved me just like that, he bitterly thought to himself, a wave of disappointment hitting him again.

Still, he decided to go to Kendall for help. "Let me give it a go," he agreed.

The Whittle Holdings' future was far more important than his dignity.

If there ever came a day when the Whittle Holdings was ruined, Jackson knew his own future would be destroyed if he had to leave high society. This was definitely not the result he envisioned to achieve.

"Alright, then. Go on. I will tell Yasmine to persuade her brother to have a collaboration with your company. You wouldn't have to worry about the Coleman Empire Holdings if you have Zorn Holdings' support."

"Thank you, Kelly." Assured that Kelly was very much still in love with him, Jackson thanked her in a gentle voice.

"We are too close to be saying thanks to each other. Helping you means helping myself too."

How could Kelly possibly allow the Whittle Holdings to fall to ruins if she was going to marry Jackson?

The Whittle Holdings was only wrapped up in rumor because of the one business dealing Coleman Empire Holdings robbed them of. The Colemans hadn't actually done anything that directly harmed them. That was how businesses went. It was normal for there to be a sudden change of mind as long as a contract wasn't formed.

There were even people who would regret their decision after signing a contract.

What Tom and Jackson were concerned about was the consequences the rumors might bring.

The other partners of Whittle Holdings would definitely feel more confident about their collaborations as soon as the Zorn Holdings lent Whittle Holdings a helping hand. That would subsequently pull Whittle Holdings out of the dangerous place they were currently in.

Kelly quickly called Yasmine after her talk on the phone with Jackson.

Kendall, however, was clueless about how Kelly had contacted Yasmine in order to help the Whittle Holdings. After Kendall was done with the on-boarding procedure, she went to Jessie's office and sat down in front of her own desk while she put her full attention into looking through the sample layouts of the company products.

The landline phone on Jessie's desk started ringing, and Jessie smoothly picked it up despite not knowing who was calling. She only turned to Kendall as she spoke on the phone.

After she put the handset back down, she informed Kendall, "Miss Parker, Mr. Whittle is here to see you."

"Jackson Whittle?"

"That's right," Jessie said with a smile on her face as she nodded.

"Where is he?"

"He is already coming upstairs using the elevator. Would you like to see him in front of the elevator or here?"

His surprise visit is probably because of Whittle Holdings, Kendall thought.

Not wanting to disrupt Jessie's work, she said that she would wait for Jackson in front of the elevator.

Kendall had just left the office and walked to the elevator when Jackson came out.

"Kendall." He strode toward her.

It only took him a second to reach her.

"What are you looking for me for?" She stepped back to keep some distance between them and warned, "Don't get too close to me."

She was worried that she might cripple him if she wasn't able to hold back her hatred for him.

"Kendall," Jackson gently called out to her. His eyes were deep and full of emotion as he gazed at her. "Can you please stop sulking? You've been on it for days now. Only God knows how heartbreaking it is for me when you intentionally ignore me like this."

What a shameless man! How is he still pretending to be in love with me and making it sound like I am being difficult?

Instead of saying that to his face, Kendall only let out a scoff before she sassed, "Who is sulking, Jackson? Heartbreaking? You? For what? You must be heartbroken about not being able to marry Kelly after our family rejected your proposal, huh? Jackson Whittle, your mother has brought over the dowry in broad daylight, and she even outright said that she wanted Kelly as her daughter-in-law. How dare you pretend to love me? Don't you see how disgusting you are being?"

"That wasn't my idea, Kendall. I didn't even know that my mother would do something like that!" he hurriedly explained himself.

Jackson had gotten into a fight so huge with Rosemi after he went home yesterday that she was still mad when he left for work this morning.

Nothing seemed to be going his way lately.

It all seemed to have started from the moment Kendall started treating him coldly.

Could Kendall be my lady luck?

"I am sorry, Kendall. I owe you an apology no matter what. Let's make up, Kendall. I can't take it when you treat me this way. You know I love you."

She immediately made a gagging sound when she heard him profess his 'love'. "Don't make me throw up, Jackson. Spit it out. Tell me why you are here. You can screw off after you are done talking. I don't have time to waste here listening to your mouth diarrhea."

Looking at him now, Kendall couldn't help but think that she must have been blind to fall for a man like him. Not only that, she had lost both herself and her freedom in the middle of it. She literally loved him to death.

Kelly and Jackson must have been happy after I died in my past life. This d*mned cheating couple!

Kendall about how everything she had and was rightfully hers had fallen into Kelly's hands after her death immediately rekindled the grudge she held toward Kelly.

She detested how cruelly Jackson had betrayed her. She also hated herself for being overly trusting to the point of stupidity in her last life.

"Something happened to the Whittle Holdings, Kendall. There are rumors going around about how we have gotten on Master Dylan's bad side. Those rumors aren't true at all. You have seen my attitude toward Master Dylan. How could our company ever do anything to offend him? Can you please say something about this to him? Or you can arrange for me to give him an explanation in person."

Jackson knew that Kendall was the reason he had the chance to meet Dylan last time.

She might really be his lady luck, after all!
