Chapter 23

Julie was at a loss for words, but Alice suddenly continued, "So, does that mean you're willing to marry

Dylan?"

Without waiting for Kendall's reply, Tilly glared at Alice and scolded, "Ally, it's not like your brother can't

get a wife. Why are you forcing Ms. Parker to do something that she doesn't want? You can't let her

shed her blood for nothing."

The words Tilly said were full of sarcasm.

Alice parted her mouth to say something but decided not to say it, and Kendall could guess that Alice

wanted to say that Dylan couldn't even do the deed, so nobody would agree to marry him and live as a

widow.

"Dylan is a great man. Miss Coleman, you don't have to worry about him not being able to get a wife."

As Kendall said those words, the pair looked at her with a strange gaze.

Blinking, Kendall couldn't help but think whether she had said something wrong.

Meanwhile, outside the main house, Dylan heard what Kendall had said. A glimmer flashed through his

eyes as his hands moved to push his wheelchair and enter the house.

The moment Alice heard the sound of a wheelchair entering, she stood up and ran out like a happy

bird. Then, Kendall heard her sweet and crisp voice. "Dylan, why are you here?"

"Can't I come over?"

Alice coquettishly replied, "Dylan, that's not what I meant. Don't twist my words."

Now that Dylan's temper has worsened, only Alice dared to talk and act like a spoiled child in front of

him.

Afterward, she went to his back and pushed his wheelchair while his bodyguards stopped and didn't

follow the two into the main house.

When the people inside saw Dylan, they all smiled but started to behave more cautiously.

Although Kendall had been reborn from her previous life, she didn't have much contact with Dylan back

then, so she didn't know how he and the Coleman Family got along.

She couldn't help but feel distressed when she watched the scene unfold before her. Since it was a

huge blow for Dylan to become disabled, it was normal for him to be capricious. However, his family

was afraid to get close to him and even distanced themselves from him when he needed their comfort

and encouragement the most, which would make him feel even worse.

Due to Dylan's restrained personality, nobody could see through his facade.

After he was pushed over to Kendall's side, he patted his wheelchair to tell Alice to stop.

Then, he turned his head to look at Kendall coldly, which she met head-on without fear.

"Your face is swollen like risen dough. It's so ugly. Don't stand here and affect my mood. Scram."

Dylan's cold and heartless words were like knives that hurt her feelings.

There was a moment when Kendall felt hurt, but when she remembered Dylan from her past life, she

quickly suppressed her feelings. Then, she quietly turned around and left the main house.

As Dylan spoke, no one dared to make a sound. Even Alice had shrunk back as she tried to meld with

the background.

Kendall felt relieved as she exited the luxuriously decorated main house. If she was being honest, she

felt stressed when facing those unfriendly women, but they were her in-laws.

She was the Whittles' daughter-in-law in her past life and was kept under a tight leash while severely

bullied, making her reluctant to get along with her in-laws.

Moreover, those Coleman wives were not to be underestimated.

Looking up at the sky, Kendall told herself that since she had decided to repay Dylan's kindness with

the rest of her life, she would have to brave through the difficulties unless it was Dylan who wanted her

gone.

Good luck, Kendall Parker! Hold onto Dylan, defeat your enemies in this lifetime, and protect those you

want to save!

Inside Starbucks, Kelly was elegantly stirring her coffee with her spoon when someone called her,

"Kelly."

It was Jackson, and he had a bouquet of roses with him.

She stopped what she was doing and watched as he approached her.

Once Jackson arrived before her, he gave her a bouquet of flowers which she received and took a sniff

of. Jackson's gaze softened as he looked at her gentle behavior.

Then, he pulled out a chair and sat down. After looking carefully at Kelly, he saw that one of her cheeks

was red and swollen, so he asked tentatively, "Kelly, what happened to your cheek? It's red and

swollen like you've been slapped."

The happiness that Kelly felt from receiving the flowers dissipated instantly, and she put down the

bouquet to complain, "It's your soon-to-be fiance."

"Kendall? How could she hit you? I'll help you get back at her next time."

"You need to get back at her with even more impact."

Jackson said dotingly, "Okay, I'll get back at her twice as much. I won't stop until her face is swollen."

After that, he touched Kelly's swollen cheek and murmured, "Why didn't you dodge?"

"If I dodged, my father wouldn't be able to see the mark, and he wouldn't stand on my side."

Jackson still felt distressed. "You don't have to hurt yourself to fight for attention. Mr. Coleman has

always loved you, so even if you aren't his biological daughter, his attitude toward you won't change."

A scheming glint flashed through Kelly's eyes. "Before I can have my hands on Parker Corporation's

shares, I must maintain our current situation."

Although Adam trusted and depended on Kelly, Kendall was the real young lady of the Parker Family,

and that alone was like a thorn in Kelly's heart. The Parker Family was originally hers, but now, her

past efforts were all to make things easier for Kendall.

"I asked to come because I wanted you to investigate what else happened that day when Kendall went

to the Colemans to slit her wrist and refuse her marriage with Master Dylan. I keep thinking that he

treats her differently."

Then, reminded of his encounter at Wealthy Luck Street, Jackson's expression changed as he

explained, "I met her on Wealthy Luck Street today. She was buying clothes in a men's clothing store. I

thought she bought it for me but said she bought it for Master Dylan."

"What? Are you jealous that she wasn't buying it for you?"

Kelly couldn't help feeling jealous and disheartened when she heard Jackson's words.

"Kelly, what are you talking about? Why would I be jealous? I just can't understand why she would buy

clothes for Master Dylan."

Jackson held her hand gently as he added affectionately, "You're the only person I have in my heart."

While Kelly withdrew her hand, she said, "Who knows if you're lying?"

"How about I crack open my heart for you to check?"

She felt better as she smiled and comforted him when she saw how anxious he was becoming, "It's

fine. I was just joking with you. We've known each other for so long; of course, I believe you. Jackson,

we can't let Kendall have Master Dylan's protection, though."

Jackson nodded in agreement as he stated, "Just wait until I've investigated it, and we'll discuss it

further. Don't worry. How would a person like Kendall get Master Dylan's protection? Don't you know

who he is? Even Laura can't get his protection. How could Kendall compare to her?" He then comforted

Kelly, "Maybe we're being too paranoid."

As Kelly thought about it, she agreed with Jackson. Kendall grew up in the countryside, and unless

Dylan was blind, there was no way he would protect Kendall. What she saw today must have been an

illusion.

That's right. It was all an illusion!

Maybe Dylan just wanted to play a trick on Kendall, but he didn't want anyone to help him. That was

why he said that he had Kendall's back.
