Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192

Brian's handsome face blushed slightly, but he still nodded. "Benjamin, you long knew I had feelings for Kelly. It's just that Kelly doesn't want to be in a relationship right now. Besides, you know that her status in the Parker Family now is a little awkward. The home where she's lived in for more than twenty years isn't her home, and the couple whom she's called her parents for more than twenty years aren't her parents."

As Brian spoke, he felt sorry for his beloved woman's experience.

"Brian, Kelly is very ambitious. Are you sure you can control her?"

Upon hearing that, Brian replied in displeasure, "Benjamin, I'll love and pamper only her if she is willing to marry me. I don't wish to restrict her, let alone control her. So don't ever use the word 'control' on her!"

After that, Brian added, "Besides, what ambition does she have? She's just ambitious for the sake of survival and for Parker Corporation. It's understandable for her to do so in a world where only the strong will thrive."

Seeing that Brian was protecting Kelly in such a way, Benjamin said helplessly, "This is your private matter, so I won't meddle too much. But I won't allow Kelly to be a part of Zorn Holdings if she ever gets married into our family."

If Kelly can betray Parker Corporation for her own sake, she will also betray Zorn Holdings. Worse, she will even swallow Zorn Holdings bit by bit because of her ambitions.

Even though Benjamin felt that he was very powerful, he still had to keep his guard up against Kelly. After all, some people can spend ten or twenty years, or even a lifetime, to satisfy their ambitions.

The women in our family are similar to the women in the Coleman Family. They'll be housewives and assist the husbands in taking care of the household. They live a splurging yet boring life of noble ladies, and they can't go out to work.

Brian's feelings for Kelly are too deep. I'm worried that he'll be uxorious toward Kelly in the future and will be so eager to satisfy her that he'll let her continue to brawl in the business world.

"She's the successor of Parker Corporation. Also, she doesn't have time to work for Zorn Holdings."

Brian was full of confidence in his beloved one. She'll surely succeed.

Moving his lips, Benjamin wanted to say something. However, he eventually said nothing when he saw Brian's confident look.

At the same time, Kelly, who had just walked to the parking lot of the Zorn Mansion, saw a car coming in from outside. Soon, the car stopped beside her car.

Out of instinct, Kelly watched as the person in the car got off.

After she saw the person was Jackson, she was stunned for a moment.

But this isn't Jackson's car.

Just as she was about to call out Jackson's name, she saw Jackson hastily walk to the front passenger seat. Like a gentleman, he opened the door. Then, Kelly saw Jackson helping a woman out of the car.

That woman was none other than Krystal, the person whom Jackson intended to marry.

Kelly knew Jackson's real purpose of marrying Krystal, and she also told herself not to be jealous. Jackson is still mine both physically and spiritually.

However, Kelly only felt fuming mad when she truly saw Jackson and Krystal together, and Jackson was so considerate to Krystal. At that moment, she wished she could charge forward and scratch Krystal's face violently. How dare that good-for-nothing sly of a vixen steal my man!

Trying her best to suppress her emotional turmoil, Kelly looked at Jackson and Krystal with a smile.

Naturally, the two of them also spotted her.

"Ms. Parker." Krystal greeted politely. She knew that Kelly was Yasmine's best friend. In terms of standings, I, who merely have ties of kinship with the Zorn Family, am not on par with Kelly in front of Yasmine.

"Miss Caddel, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon." Krystal held Jackson's hand. Meanwhile, Jackson did not dare to look at Kelly. Turning his face sideways, he looked at Krystal's side profile with gentle gazes. His guilty conscience filled Kelly with complete jealousy.

"Miss Caddel, Mr. Whittle, I heard that you two are about to announce some good news. Congratulations. I wonder if I'll have a chance to be invited to your wedding ceremony."

Although Kelly kept a smile on her face, she was madly jealous in her heart.

Instantly, Krystal looked shy. Tilting her head, she looked at Jackson. When she saw Jackson had been looking at her with a pair of affection and gentle eyes, she immediately fell into his deep gaze. This man is really handsome!

Later, Krystal said, "Ms. Parker, you and Jackson have known each other for so many years and are also friends. I'll definitely invite you to witness our wedding on the day I marry Jackson. If you're willing, I would like you to be my bridesmaid too. Jackson, are you willing to let me ask Ms. Parker to be my bridesmaid?"

With that, Jackson said in a doting manner, "I'm fine as long as Kelly is willing."

In a swift, he glanced at Kelly. When he saw she was staring at him, he quickly looked back at Krystal.

Inwardly, Jackson sighed at how unlucky he was on that day. I took Krystal to go fishing, but we met Kendall. Moreover, Kendall even threw Krystal into the river. Because of that, I had to drive all the way to buy new clothes for Krystal so she could change into them.

Finally, Krystal lost interest in fishing. So I accompanied her to the Zorn Mansion to tell on Kendall. But who knew I would stumble upon Kelly here.

Thinking of Kelly's merciless gazes, Jackson felt his heart was clenched tightly.

Jackson was afraid that Kendall could not restrain herself for a moment there and expose his relationship with Kelly. If that happened, both Jackson and Whittle Holdings would fall into a doomed situation.

Despite cursing Krystal as a sly vixen inwardly, she said in an apologetic manner outwardly, "Miss Caddel, I would love to be your bridesmaid and share your joy too, but unfortunately, I'm too busy with work. So I'm afraid I won't be able to make time for it. But don't worry. I'll definitely make it to your wedding ceremony when you two get married."

Upon hearing that, Krystal sighed. "Is that so? It's really a pity, then."

"Miss Caddel, there's something I need to attend to, so I'll go first." Kelly bade the two goodbye, got in the car, and drove away quickly.

Jackson let out a long sigh after Kelly left.

"Jackson, let's head in. Yasmine should have woken up from her afternoon nap at this hour. I'll accompany you into the mansion and apologize to her once more. She'll forgive you for my sake."

"Okay. Thank you, Krystal."

"What's with the thanks? Since I have decided to marry you, that makes us husband and wife. Husband and wife are one. Regardless of what, we will rise and fall together. So how can I watch as something happens to my husband's family and ignore it?"

Upon hearing that, Jackson quickly kissed Krystal on her cheeks and pledged, "Krystal, I'll ask my parents to visit your family with valuable gifts and discuss with your parents about our wedding when I get home."

There's no need to re-prepare the matrimonial gifts. Mom had already prepared a lot of matrimonial gifts back then in order to slap Kendall in the face.

Of course, the amount of the matrimonial gifts that we'll give the Caddel Family has to be cut half.

In terms of status, Krystal is not on par with the sisters of the Parker Family. Plus, she isn't my beloved woman either.

According to Jackson and Rosemi, the matrimonial gifts should not be too extravagant yet carry a certain value where the Caddel Family would find no fault with.

Holding hands, the two walked toward the main house affectionately.

As soon as they reached the door of the main house, Jackson's phone rang. He took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. It was a call from Kelly.

Like nothing happened, Jackson answered the phone. However, he did not utter a word. Then, he quickly hung up and said to Krystal with a serious expression, "Krystal, I'm sorry. A temporary emergency came up in the company that needed me to go back and deal with it."
