Love Knows No Bounds

At the Whittle Residence, Jackson gently removed Krystal's slender, white arm from his waist before slipping out of bed. Then, he crept out of the room with his eyes fixed on her. After coming out of the room, he heaved a long sigh. Yesterday was chaotic, but it was finally over.

After returning from the hotel, his parents came down hard on him in front of Krystal, who didn't forgive him until he repeatedly promised that he wouldn't mess around with Kelly anymore. Krystal seemed as mad as hell last night. She won't wake up until noon, I guess.

On the other hand, the Whittle Family's public relations team took up the matter on his behalf by shifting all the blame onto Kelly.

Jackson was distressed at this. He wanted to explain himself to Kelly, but he didn't have the opportunity.

At this moment, he crept into his study and locked the door behind him. Only then did he dare to call Kelly. When the phone call was answered, he immediately asked with concern, "Kelly, how are you?"

"Jackson Whittle, how could you have the face to call Kelly? Get the f*ck out here and see how I'm gonna beat the sh*t out of you! How is Kelly, you ask? Do you even care about her? Do you feel sorry for her? Look at your online response!"

It was Nelson who answered the phone. After learning of what had happened yesterday, he immediately hurried to the hospital with Sally before arriving at night. He looked at Kelly, who looked as pale as a sheet while lying on her sickbed. Although he disliked her, he felt sorry and angry for her nonetheless. After all, she was his own sister.

He couldn't wait to get even with Jackson for this, but Kelly stopped him, ticking him off by saying that her business was none of his concern.

At the moment, Kelly was still sleeping. When Nelson saw that it was Jackson calling, he answered the phone on her behalf in a fit of exasperation.

Nelson had called Kendall and learned that Kelly had been tricked by Jackson into carrying on a love affair with the latter. However, when Jackson responded to the incident on the internet, he claimed that it was Kelly who had seduced him into it. Not only that, but he even blamed her for Kendall's departure from him. According to him, Kendall had found out about Kelly seducing him, so she gave up on him and quickly married Dylan instead, knowing that she was no match for Kelly.

Nelson simply couldn't wrap his head around it. Kelly seemed so clever and was trained to be the heir to Parker Corporation. Why would she fall under Jackson's spell after all the hardships she'd been through? Now she was pregnant with the *sshole's baby, but he married someone else instead. Even so, she still put up with it, forbidding them to meddle in her affairs even now.

Hearing that the voice wasn't Adam's, Jackson immediately asked Nelson who he was. "Who are you?" He thought that it was Brian, but upon listening carefully, he realized that the voice wasn't Brian's. Brian will probably give up on Kelly after such a thing has happened, right? In that case, she'll have no choice but to cling onto me, so she won't leave me. I can still stay married to Krystal while still carrying on with her. It's just that we'll have to be extra careful when we meet up in the future, but it's okay. We can go away on business and then meet up in another city to avoid being photographed.

"I'm her brother! Get the f*ck out here and let me beat the hell out of you!"

"Since when does Kelly have a brother? Oh, you're one of the Woodses? She said that the Woodses aren't her family. You guys aren't her family either, so stop calling yourself her brother in front of me. Where is she? Give her the phone. I want to speak to her."

Enraged by Jackson's words, Nelson paced back and forth in the ward in anger.

Sally came back after buying breakfast. Seeing her son pacing back and forth in the room, she quickly asked, "What's wrong, Nell?"

Nelson replied, "Mom, that son of a b*tch had the nerve to call. How I wish I could teleport myself to the other end of the line and skin that b*stard alive!"

Jackson wasn't intimidated by Nelson's words at all. The Woodses had neither power nor influence; their lives didn't improve until the Parkers paid them a hefty sum to thank them for raising Kendall. Therefore, he thought nothing of such a family even if there were ten Nelsons threatening to beat him up. "Mr. Woods, give the phone back to Kelly now. I want to talk to her, and I don't have much time. If you keep on wasting my time, I'll—"

Nelson ended the phone call before Jackson could finish his sentence.

At this moment, Kelly woke up.

Nelson tossed the cell phone next to her. Luckily, the phone stayed intact thanks to the soft mattress.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Kelly asked icily. "If you want to throw a hissy fit, do it outside. Don't ruin my mood here." Who does he think he is, hurling the phone at me as soon as I woke up? Does he want to call himself my brother because we have the same blood running in our veins? Is he qualified for that?

"Kelly, your brother—" Sally said in an attempt to help Nelson explain himself.

However, Nelson said with a darkened expression, "Yeah, something's wrong with me. It's driving me f*cking crazy to see you like this. Did you see Jackson's response on the internet? Tell me where he lives; I'll go sort him out right away!"

At this moment, Kelly realized that the phone that Nelson had tossed next to her was hers. She immediately picked it up and checked the call history. Then, she instantly blew up, saying, "Nelson, did you answer the phone on my behalf? As I said, the matter between Jackson and me is none of your business!" She yelled furiously, "If you really care about it and mean well for me, then go to Kendall instead. Ask her to plead with Master Dylan to step in and help me deal with this. Tell her to minimize the impact and damage done to me without affecting me negatively in the slightest!" After Sally and Nelson arrived at the hospital last night, she had made a request to Sally, wanting the latter to help her ask Kendall to help deal with this.
