Kelly was the one who first spread the news of Kendall being chased out of the house by Tilly. Tilly gave consent for the news to be out on behalf of the Colemans, and she didn't further explain herself. She didn't try to stop the news from spreading, either. There had been a lot of women being jealous and hateful of Kendall for receiving all of Dylan's care and love, so there was no doubt that they were secretly overjoyed to hear that Kendall had been kicked out of the household. The news quickly shot up to one of the hottest searches on the Internet.

Tons of reporters from various media companies camped outside the Parker Residence as they all wanted to be the first to interview Kendall. They also wanted to find evidence for the news. "Ms. Parker is not in," the maids repeated. "Please leave. You guys shouldn't stay here as it's disrupting our lives." The maids weren't lying—Kendall wasn't home as Amelia had gone out with her for a stroll. Kendall's parents were the ones who told them to do so, and Kendall had agreed to this arrangement as she didn't want her parents to worry for her. Furthermore, it had been a while since she hung out with Amelia.

"Miss, can we know if Ms. Parker had been chased out of the house by Old Madam Coleman? Is she moving back to stay here?" one of the reporters asked. "I'm sorry. I don't know anything about my owners. Ms. Parker and Master Dylan often dropped by, and they would even stay for a while sometimes," the maid uttered. Even if the whole of Orapolis knew about the news, the maid refused to be the one who confirmed it with the media.

The Parker Family's maids felt rather bad for Kendall. Kendall and Dylan had a good relationship, and no one would've expected Tilly to chase Kendall out. After all, Tilly was the one who suggested an arranged marriage at first. She's treating Ms. Parker like a tool that can be thrown out after she's of no use to her, the maids thought.

"Ms. Kelly Parker is the one who spread this news. She mentioned that she had gone to the Coleman Residence with Mr. and Mrs. Parker to pick up Ms. Kendall Parker after she was chased out. This is obviously more than just a rumor!" one reporter stated.

"Well, if Ms. Kelly Parker is the one who said it, then you guys should ask her for evidence. Stop blocking our pathways outside. Ms. Kendall Parker is in a good mood and already heads out to shop," the maid uttered before turning to leave. Deep down, the maid felt like Kelly had gone too far with her actions. After all, Kendall hadn't said anything to the public when Kelly's nasty rumors were spreading around.


Most of the maids in the Parker Residence had been there for years, and they used to side with Kelly. After all, she was the only young mistress at home when the maids started working there. However, all the maids thought that Kelly was wrong this time. Could Ms. Kelly benefit from the news of Ms. Kendall being chased out of the house? They're sisters, and both of them have created some huge rumors. Is one any better than the other?

The maids wondered if Kelly was just trying to distract everyone away from her scandals. Kelly probably figured the news of Kendall being chased out by Tilly for having an unthinkable relationship with Coleman's archenemy—the Mendelsons—would be all over the news feed once it was out. In other words, that would push Kelly's scandals aside and make them die down.

After getting back into the house, the maids told Charlotte and Adam about the situation.

"I got it," Adam replied flatly. After the maids went on with their work, Charlotte gave Kendall a call and told her not to come home so soon in order to avoid the reporters. Then, Charlotte turned to her husband. "Kelly has changed, Adam. She no longer cares for us, and I can't believe she just did this… Since we've found Kelly's birth parents, perhaps it's time to send her back home." Charlotte felt guilty for having been reluctant to send Kelly back in the past. Back then, if she and her husband hadn't kept Kelly around and instead had sent Kelly back to her own family, none of this would've happened. Kelly wouldn't have turned into such a bitter person as well.

Adam thought about his wife's words for a moment. "Kelly has many supporters at the company and is good at her job too. If we tell her to go back to her old house, we never know what she might do," he replied.

"But she's just too much. Kendall was already sad, to begin with, yet Kelly continued spreading rumors about her. I don't understand how Kendall's bad reputation could benefit her! Back then, I couldn't bear to send her off as I had built 20 years' worth of a relationship with her; I couldn't part with her. And I wanted Kendall to have a sister so she wouldn't be too lonely."

Adam sighed. "Darling, from Kelly's perspective, she has always been the heiress of the family. She's prepared to receive all of our inheritance and to be the person to take over the company. She has put in a lot of hard work as well. If you just tell her that she's not our biological child now and that she might not have anything to do with the Parkers in the future, we all know what she's going to think. I would probably be resentful if I were in her position as well," he replied.

"Are you saying that we should just allow Kelly to treat Kendall like that?" Charlotte retorted.

"Kendall is our biological child, and I love her, but the reality is always harsh. If Kendall doesn't have the capabilities to stand up for herself, she wouldn't be able to handle the company if we handed it to her. The business industry is cruel, and there are no such things as lifelong friends there. Companies that seem to be on good terms with the Parkers today may become our enemies tomorrow. Perhaps sending Kelly back might trigger her to do other worse things. Kendall is slowly developing herself, but she's still weaker than Kelly at this point. We should wait for a while more and make sure that Kendall is strong enough before we tell Kelly the truth," Adam explained.
