Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458

The brothers looked at each other as they suspected their sister was possessed.

Why is she accusing us for Kendall's sake?

Then, Benjamin muttered sullenly, "Yasmine, what's wrong with you? Didn't you always hate Kendall? Now, you're blaming Brian and I on Kendall's behalf. You don't have a problem here, do you?"

He pointed at Yasmine's head, as he suspected his sister was out of her mind.

"Benjamin, Kendall and I can't be friends, but we are no longer enemies. I'm not fond of the dark tricks you guys are doing behind the scenes, and I wouldn't speak ill about you if you were openly fighting against Master Dylan. However, you took Kendall to hurt Master Dylan, so you are not a man!"

At that point, Benjamin was laughing at her naïvety. "Yasmine, I am a businessman, not a hero. I only value the benefits and the results, so I don't care if the methods are shady. You won't understand, so don't bother. It's late; go to bed now."

Yasmine still tried to say something but was met with a warning glare from Benjamin. In the end, she could only huff and puff before she went upstairs in anger.

After Yasmine went upstairs, Benjamin asked Brian, "Yasmine even spoke for Kendall. How charming is this woman?"

Brian coldly snorted in response. "Not much, I bet. She is just relying on Master Dylan. Now that she's been kicked out by the Coleman Family and the word has spread throughout Orapolis, no one will protect her. Oh, wait—Frank will protect her. The more protective Frank is, the more the Coleman Family will loathe Kendall, and Kendall will never have a chance to return to the Coleman Residence. Benjamin, I heard Dylan has been shutting himself up in his study and refusing to meet anyone. He hasn't eaten or drunk either. I never pegged him as a dramatic person. This is good though. This means as long as we never let Kendall return and separate her from Dylan, he will never heal from the wound. It is the love wound that hurts the most. While he is suffering from them, we need to make the most of it, Benjamin."

At that, Benjamin said thoughtfully, "Now, let's steal Coleman Empire Holdings' business. We can't openly fight against them yet. Who knows how long Old Madam Coleman can hold out? She loves Dylan the most and if he continues to starve himself, she can't stand it and will promise to take Kendall back."

The last time they attacked the Parker Corporation, they angered the backer, Coleman Empire Holdings. Hence, Zorn Holdings was severely screwed by Coleman Empire Holdings for some time, as the Colemans robbed them of a lot of business and caused them to lose a lot of money.

Hence, Benjamin did not dare to act rashly ever again. Even if he wanted to retaliate against Dylan, he wouldn't do it openly.

"Benjamin, the Zorn Holdings is strong…"

"Didn't you see what happened to Whittle Holdings? Luckily, we made a split-second decision and pulled out right away. Otherwise, we would have been dragged down by the Whittles too."

Benjamin's words made Brian not dare to boast of his strength anymore.

Zorn Holdings was firm, but they were wounded after being suppressed by the Coleman Empire Holdings. After they cooperated with Whittle Holdings, the Whittles were attacked by the Colemans and the Mendelsons. Even if the Zorns continued to help the Whittles, the latter were a goner.

So, Benjamin had to pull away immediately and break off his partnership with Whittle Holdings.

Even so, Zorn Holdings was hurt too.

"Jackson deserves it."

Brian thenn scolded, "He is the one who dragged Whittle Holdings down, so he can't blame anyone for being jailed."

Brian also had hatred for Jackson.

He hated Jackson for quickly getting Kelly's heart and hurting her. Even after Kelly was hurt, she still didn't abort their child.

To think that as the Young Master of the Zorn, Brian lost to the scumbag Jackson despite the former's looks, wealth, and status. Hence, Brian hated Jackson so much.

"Piper came to meet me. I told her that if we continue to help the Whittle Family, the Zorn Holdings would be dragged down too."

"What did Piper say?"

Benjamin sneered. "What else? She has chosen to protect Zorn Holdings. Doesn't she want her children to have a share in Zorns' property? Whittle Holdings is a goner. Even Zorn Holdings couldn't resist the joint attack from the Coleman Empire Holdings and the Mendelson Group, let alone the tiny Whittle Holdings."

The Whittle Holdings was big enough.

However, they were unlucky to get suppressed again and again. Presently, as Jackson severely injured Nelson Woods, he and his wife were arrested and it brought negative news to Whittle Holdings. Whittle Holdings was already in a bad situation, and now it would not support itself anymore. It was only a matter of time before it closed down.

However, President Whittle didn't give up yet and begged for help everywhere.

"Brian, you should stop obsessing over Kelly. That woman is not worth your dedication. She had an affair with Jackson long ago but hid it from you, while she hung onto you and treated you as a spare. Now, the scandalous rumors about her and Jackson are all over town, and she's still pregnant with Jackson's child. She does love Jackson very much. Jackson blamed her when the scandal was exposed, but she still wanted to keep his child."

"Benjamin, the Zorn Holdings is strong…"

"Didn't you see what happened to Whittle Holdings? Luckily, we made a split-second decision and pulled out right away. Otherwise, we would have been dragged down by the Whittles too."

At the mention of Kelly, Brian turned gloomy. He stayed silent for a few beats before he replied in a low voice, "Benjamin, she played with my feelings, so I won't easily let her off the hook."

"You want to get back at her?"

"I have a partnership with her."

Brian didn't answer the question.

His feelings for Kelly were real. However, Kelly was with Jackson, and Brian was sad too.

He thought of giving up, but he couldn't let it go. He thought about picking back up. If Kelly chose to abort the child, he could take care of her and empty the Parker Corporation together.

After all, Kelly was still somewhat capable. It would be much more convenient to have Kelly as his inside man.

Meanwhile, Benjamin quietly looked at Brian. He knew that Brian had invested excessive affection in Kelly, so it would be impossible for him to draw back for a while.

As such, Benjamin only said lightly, "I won't interfere in your private matters. However, whatever you do, you must consider Zorn Holdings and not act impulsively."

"Don't worry, Benjamin. I will."

"It's late. You should go upstairs and get some rest."

Brian hummed in agreement and was about to get up when his phone rang.

He pulled out his cell phone and saw the caller ID, then gave Benjamin a quick glance.

"Did Kelly call?"

Brian knew he couldn't hide from Benjamin, so he admitted, "It's from her."

"She's calling you at this late hour. I've really misjudged her."

Benjamin initially thought that she was a virtuous lady, but it turned out that she was a vixen and hooked up with Brian, not letting him go even now.

"Pick it up. I'll go upstairs."

Benjamin sighed as he didn't want to bother about the private affairs of his brother and Kelly. Getting up, he went upstairs.

Only after Benjamin left did Brian answer Kelly's call.

"Brian, can you come to pick me up?" Kelly asked gently over the phone.

"Where are you?" Benjamin asked her.

"I finished talking business with President Payne and am on the way home. However, the car broke down. There's nothing around me, so I had to contact you. Let me send you a location."

At that, Brian hurriedly said, "Stay where you are and send me your location. I'll go pick you up right away."

"Okay. Thank you, Brian."

To that, Brian replied, "Don't be a stranger."

After they ended the call, Kelly sent over her location.
