In the main house, Tilly had a significantly disappointed expression upon hearing Tia’s recount.

"Did Kendall actually put her head on Dylan’s lap?"

Tia replied, "Heather saw with her own eyes. She went over to deliver some ingredients to Miss Alice and saw that scene from afar."

Meanwhile, Tilly calmly responded, "Inform Vivian to wait for me at Dylan's house and tell her that I want to see Kendall."

"Okay," Tia heeded Tilly’s instructions respectfully.

As for Kendall, she was completely unaware that her inadvertent action had been escalated to Tilly after being seen by the other servants. She was busy stuffing her face but kept an eye on remembering to feed Dylan well too. As the sun started to set, the gang finally made their way back to the mansion.

From afar, Kendall saw Vivian standing in front of her room, and the former felt her right eyelid twitch. Kendall thought to herself, A twitch in the left eyelid means I’m in for a windfall, but the right side indicates disaster. Old Madam Coleman must be trying to find fault with me again.

Indeed, as soon as Kendall pushed Dylan nearer, Vivian stepped forward to greet Dylan respectfully before turning to speak to Kendall, "Miss Parker, Old Madam Coleman wants to see you. Could you come along with me if it's convenient for you?"

Vivian kept her eyes on Dylan’s face as she spoke, and she heaved a sigh upon noticing that there was an impassive look on his face.

"Sure."

Kendall released her grip on the wheelchair and turned to say to Dylan, "Dylan, Old Madam Coleman wants to see me, so I'll pop over and it won't take long. You should go in first."

He responded calmly, "Go ahead. Don't keep Grandma waiting."

At that moment, Vivian gestured for Kendall to move along.

Kendall trailed silently after Vivian, and neither of them said a word to each other along the way.

Vivian mentioned to Kendall as soon as they entered the main house, "Miss Parker, Old Madam Coleman’s inside. You can make your way inside yourself."

"Thanks, Vivian."

Vivian shot her a meaningful look before turning around to walk off.

After Vivian had left, Kendall made her way into the house by herself. Tilly was the only person found in the luxurious living room.

She remained seated on the couch and was flicking through a magazine.

Tilly heard Kendall's approaching footsteps, but she didn't even bother to lift her head.

Kendall walked toward Tilly and stopped in front of the latter before mentioning politely, "Old Madam Coleman, Vivian said that you wanted to see me."

Tilly didn't even bother to cast her eyes on Kendall as the former spoke up in a hostile voice, "You've moved in here for quite some time now. Haven't you been told that I dislike conversation when I'm reading?"

Kendall pursed her lips in response.

After Tilly said that, she continued to flick through the magazine in her hand and kept Kendall waiting there for half an hour.

Finally, Tilly shut the magazine in her hands and placed it on the coffee table. Subsequently, she lifted her hand and shifted her reading glasses as she directed a sharp look at Kendall. At that moment, Kendall clearly sensed the hostility from Tilly.

"Kendall, do you know your role after being brought back here by Dylan?"

Kendall met Tilly’s sharp look unwaveringly, and she spoke up frankly, "Yes, I know that."

She had mentioned that she would take full responsibility for Dylan, so he had brought her back home. Therefore, he was her responsibility.

“Since you're aware of that, make sure that you do not overstep your boundaries. It is quite true that we went to your family and sought your hand in marriage, but you rejected the proposal. Our family doesn't resort to tactics to get our way, so since you’ve refused to marry Dylan, we would not pursue you any further. Dylan and you should have supposedly gone separate ways from then on. Right now, your only role is to take good care of Dylan and help him stand up by himself once again. Don't you dare harbor any other wishful thoughts. You had the chance but missed it, so once that's gone, you won't get another chance."

At that moment, Kendall was quite confused. "Old Madam Coleman, what did I do to overstep the boundaries? I don’t harbor any wishful thoughts at all."

Tilly responded coldly, "Why did you lean on Dylan’s nap and nuzzle him? Kendall, although you grew up in the countryside, I heard that your adoptive parents doted on you and gave you the best education they could afford. They spent a lot of time cultivating you. Haven’t you learned to keep a distance from the opposite gender? Do you think that by seducing Dylan, you would be able to get what you want? In this family, you wouldn't be able to get anything even if you schemed hard unless we gave it to you willingly. You frowned upon marrying my disabled grandson in the past and were mindful of his disability in the bedroom, so stop seducing him! You’re shameless!"

Kendall responded, "Old Madam Coleman, I didn't frown upon Dylan’s disability, and neither was I mindful that he would no longer be able to perform in bed. In my eyes, he's a great man. From now on, I vow to never look down on him. If there is anything that I’m mindful of, it would be his lack of sentiments. I've never thought of gaining anything from your family, so you can rest assured. I would never grab anything that doesn't belong to me. However, I'll definitely look for the things that are rightfully mine." For example, Parker Corporation belongs to the Parker Family so I will do everything I can to prevent Kelly from inheriting the company.

"You're lying! To think that you had the cheek to say that you didn't look down on Dylan! Who was it that slit her wrists to reject the marriage?"

"Old Madam Coleman, I do admit that it was a drastic measure that I took back then, but I've learned my lesson. I'm now trying my best to correct my mistakes. As I told you earlier, from now on, I will not look down on Dylan, and I'm very sorry for the things that have happened in the past."

After being reborn, she had ended up in her body after the incident of her slitting her wrists, so there was no way she could have changed this mistake that had occurred.

"Old Madam Coleman, you're telling me all this just to warn me against harboring any thoughts for Dylan, but I reckon that my interaction with Dylan's quite normal." We're a couple, so what's the issue with me nuzzling against his thigh? He didn't object to it, so why is Old Madam Coleman so offended by it?

"Kendall Parker!"

At that moment, Tilly's expression darkened, and though she didn’t appear to be furious, there was a terrifying aura around her.
