Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181

Leonel merely responded with a faint smile when Krystal greeted him. Then, he turned to Kendall and spoke to her. "Fishing isn't just about patience, Kendall. It's also about silence. You don't want to chase the fishes away."

"That's true," Kendall said with a smile. "I'll have to work hard to improve my skills now, Miss Caddel," she said apologetically. In other words, she was telling Krystal not to disturb her. She wasn't close to Krystal, after all. In her past life, she didn't even know how Krystal looked. But, after getting a second chance in life, there were a lot of people and things that changed because of her.

"Good luck with that," Krystal replied, smiling before turning to look at Jackson. "Let's fish here too, Jackson. We'd have a friend around since Miss Parker is also here."

Kendall secretly rolled her eyes when she heard the other woman's words. Krystal was clearly doing this intentionally. Does she think that I still care about Jackson? Can't she tell that Jackson's nervous and terrified now? He's probably afraid after I beat him up. Hah!

Kendall thought that Jackson would reject Krystal's idea since he was scared of Kendall. But, to Kendall's surprise, he responded to Krystal in a gentle tone. "You can make the decision, Krystal. I'll go along with whatever you say," he uttered.

Krystal wore a smug look on her face as she glanced at Kendall, which rendered her speechless. Both of them are so in love now. Jackson sure has some skills in chasing after girls, huh. However, when Kendall thought about how she had lost her sense of self while going after this man and ended up in a terrible situation after that, she had to admit that Jackson had indeed been a physically attractive man.

Many of Krystal's traits were no match for Jackson, and Jackson had even molested her in the past. Although they hadn't gone all the way, that was only because someone else had come to them just in time. Otherwise… Krystal would have made a decision before Jackson offered to take responsibility for her. Furthermore, he had ruined her reputation as she wouldn't have been able to find a husband if she didn't get married to Jackson.

Back then, Jackson had been under the influence of substances, so he wasn't actually horny for her. However, Krystal would have no reason to reject him if he was willing to take responsibility for her. She wouldn't get a chance to marry a man like Jackson otherwise. Kendall gazed at Jackson to find him looking at Krystal attentively. He looked extremely fond of her—it seemed like he was really in love with her. Kendall couldn't help but sigh on behalf of Kelly.

Is Kelly fated to be Jackson's mistress forever? Kendall thought. "What are you looking at, Miss Parker?" Krystal didn't hesitate to speak up when she saw Kendall checking Jackson out. "I know you used to love Jackson, Miss Parker. I know you wanted to marry him. But he's my fiancé now, and our families are already preparing for the marriage. I'm sure you'll receive an invitation soon. I would appreciate it if you could control yourself a little, Miss Parker."

"If you don't want me to stare at your man, you should hide him away, Miss Caddel. Don't let him show up before me," Kendall replied.

Krystal nearly choked. "Also, whatever you're talking about is in the past, Miss Caddel. Right now, I have no interest in your man, So you don't have to be worried about me. I wouldn't go for him even if I were looking for a man," Kendall continued.

Krystal was fuming at the insult, and it took her a while before she could gather her words. "I often hear people claim that Miss Parker is an uneducated and shameless woman who grew up in the countryside, but I never believed it until today. I guess it's true—you sure are shameless," Krystal spat out, furious.

"Am I shameless for not liking Jackson?" Kendall scoffed in anger. "Do you want us to fight over him? I'm sorry. I don't have the interest and the time now. The amount of love I used to have for him is equivalent to the amount of hate I have for him now. Honestly speaking, I was the one who abandoned Mr. Whittle. You were the one who picked up the trash I didn't want, Miss Caddel. So, how dare you come to show off in front of me now? What are you so proud of?"

Krystal was so angry that her face twisted into a nasty look. "Look at her, Jackson. She's bullying me. Help me teach her a lesson, Jackson." Krystal tugged on Jackson's arm as she begged him to speak up for her.

Leonel, who had just caught another fish, couldn't help but interrupt their conversation. "Miss Caddel, Mr. Whittle, if you guys are not here to fish, I would like you not to stay around and disturb us. I heard everything that Miss Parker said to you, Miss Caddel. It doesn't sound like she bullied you at all."

"You're one of Kendall's men, aren't you, Mr. Dawson? You sure are impressive, Kendall. I salute your ability to seduce men. However, I'd suggest you find a younger guy the next time. Mr. Dawson's old enough to be your dad." Krystal made a sarcastic remark when she saw Leonel speaking up for Kendall.

"Please watch your mouth, Miss Caddel!" Leonel hissed coldly. Kendall, on the other hand, stood and strode directly toward Krystal. "W-What are you trying to do?" Krystal was shocked by the other woman's gaze, and stuttered as she spoke. "I'm warning you right now, Kendall. If you lay a finger on me, I will make sure you suffer. The Zorn Family is related to the Caddel Family, so they will definitely hold this against the Parker Family if you hit me," Krystal hissed.

As Kendall stepped forward, Jackson instinctively took a step back in response to Kendall's nearing figure. "Say that again, Krystal!" Kendall's face was twisted into a look of fury. "Who did I seduce?"

Krystal straightened her figure before scoffing at Kendall's words. "Are you getting mad because what I'm saying is the truth? Huh? Aren't you just using your good looks to seduce all the men you see? You're like public transport—any man can get into you. I heard that you weren't just going for Master Dylan but also President Mendelson. Now, you're here fishing with Mr. Dawson. What's the status between you two? Could it be…"

Splash! Water splashed all over the place the moment Kendall shoved Krystal into the river. Unfortunately, both Jackson and Leonel didn't have the time to react to the situation yet—Krystal was already in the water by the time they realized what was happening.

Kendall clapped her hands. "Your mouth stinks, Miss Caddel. However, the water here is really clean, so I think it'd be great for you to wash your smelly mouth here." Kendall had no intention of starting a fight with Krystal, but Krystal was the one who triggered it.

Krystal had taken in a man Kendall threw out on the road, yet she had the nerve to come over to flaunt her relationship. Unfortunately, Kendall didn't feel like responding to Krystal. So, Krystal tried to bring Kendall into the topic no matter what she said, and her words gradually turned so filthy that even Kendall couldn't withstand it. Kendall had never been one to hold grudges as she preferred to instantly deal with the person rather than swallow her fury. Meanwhile, Krystal knew how to swim, but she had been too shocked by the sudden fall earlier, so she swallowed a few mouthfuls of water. In the end, she choked and coughed a few times before she returned to her senses and swam toward the other side of the river. Soon enough, she got up to land and glared at Kendall.

"Just you wait, Kendall!" Krystal hissed.

Kendall laughed at her drowned rat look and her petty words. "I'll be here waiting. You can come and take revenge at any time. By the way, just a friendly reminder—I won't hold back if I hear you defaming me again," Kendall said imperiously. Then, she turned to Jackson before returning her focus to Krystal. "Look at this man whom I had abandoned. He stood around and zoned out while you fell into the water, and he didn't rush to save you immediately. Your life is over if you marry him, Krystal. Mark my words. He's not a man worth your time and attention."
