Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 423

Chapter 423

She wanted to make things hard for Kendall and ruin how the Colemans saw her. And now she's trying to pit Kendall against Charlotte by suggesting that she's fake? "Does Kendall know?" he asked.

She quickly answered, "No. I plucked her hair the last time I combed it. She would only think I lost my grip. Nothing else."

"Don't tell her about it. It'll break her heart."

"I know. I'll take this to the grave unless the results are negative."

"You shouldn't have done that." But I can't do anything now that she did it. He asked, "So what's the result?"

"I just got to the center and you're already calling me. No, I haven't gotten the result yet. Did something happen?"

"No matter what the results are, just go straight to the hospital and keep an eye on Kelly so Sally can see Nell. Her son got into a fight with Jackson for Kelly, but he and his wife knocked him out with a fire extinguisher. He's still in the ICU."

Charlotte quickly asked, "Does Kendall know?"

"Of course she does. The doctor told her the minute they saw Nell. Sally is still in the dark, but not for long."

"What about Jackson and Krystal?"

"Arrested. Rosemi asked Kendall to write an offer to settle and forgive Jackson so he can get off with a light punishment. She has no shame." I know she cares about her son, but that doesn't mean Nell can't get the justice he deserves.

"I'll take Sally's place right after I get the results." Charlotte agreed to the arrangement. They wanted to see if Kelly could get along with Sally, but that didn't work. Kelly disliked her own mother too much.

Nowadays, the Woods weren't poor. Nell and his brother were industrious men. Their profitability wasn't apparent yet, but it would start to show eventually. Not to mention Kendall was helping them, and the Woods had already started accumulating wealth. Kelly didn't like her own parents because they didn't have a company for her to inherit. The Parkers had a company with multiple subsidiaries for her, on the other hand.

The call ended, and Charlotte got out of the car. She looked up into the skies where the sun shone brightly. A few deep breaths later, she went into the center. I've come this far. Might as well see it through no matter what the result is. I just hope I'm being paranoid.

Ten minutes later, a relieved Charlotte emerged from the center. She had gotten the results, and it was positive. Kelly was just being paranoid. No, I was being paranoid.

Tom and I both went for the tests when we first found out Kendall's our daughter. No way that was false. She changed so much because of that dream. Charlotte felt guilty for trusting her adopted child instead of her real one. Good thing Kendall has no idea I did this, or it might affect our relationship.

At the same time, Brian called Kelly. "Can you take a call?" Brian whispered.

Kelly was concocting a conspiracy, and her correspondent was Brian. He was powerful enough to help her get what she wanted.

This sounds important. Calmly, she said, "Mom, I want an apple. Can you peel and chop one up for me?"

Sally was worried about Nell. He had been gone for so long and wouldn't take her calls. I wonder what he's doing. But the moment Kelly called her 'Mom,' it exhilarated her, and she forgot about Nell. "Sure, I'll get you one. Cut it up and pop some toothpicks on them too. You can have any apple you want."

She was going to get one from the fruit basket, but only a few peaches and bananas were left. "We're out of apples. I'll go get some for you. Lyla's outside. Call her if you need anything, and don't move around. You need to rest." She then happily went to get the apples.

Once Sally was gone, Kelly told Lyla to leave. Good. Coast is clear. We're alone. She asked, "How did it go, Brian?"

"I failed the first task," he apologized. "I got a friend to help, but he told me the results are under tight protection. He couldn't take it away, much less swap it. All he could do was look. So that failed."

Kelly wanted him to swap the DNA test results out, but Charlotte had already gotten her hands on the real one. Darn it. That failed. "What? You failed? But that's the easiest part. Are you sure your friend isn't some random guy in the center?"

The plan was to swap the results out and turn Charlotte against Kendall. That enmity would be useful if she wanted to keep her place in the company. Brian promised he would pull it off, but now he told her the plan failed.

Brian was disappointed as well. He used to dislike Kendall, but now he hated her.

He thought Kendall was the reason Kelly was in this mess. If she hadn't shown up, Kelly would still be herself. Jackson wouldn't have gotten his hands on her. He was more than happy to help Kelly out with her conspiracy if it came to Kendall. And he also wanted to get back at Dylan for putting the Zorns in trouble.

"My friend said Dylan found out, and his men were keeping a close eye on the results. It stopped him from the switcheroo."

Angrily, Kelly said, "Dylan again? Is he a god or something? How come he knows everything?"

Dammit! Just when I finally got through to Charlotte. If the results were swapped, my plan would have worked. Damn you, Dylan. Damn you, Kendall. Why does he love you so much? What did you do to him?

Brian fell silent for a moment. "Dylan's men are protecting Kendall. He wants to control everything when it comes to her. And she saved Scott Ford, son of Eric Ford. The guy's thankful for her. Promised he'd help her if she needed him."
