Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 465

Chapter 465

Amelia, who heard what the maid said, instantly dashed out from the bathroom. "Mom, it's Desmond. He's really the butler of the Mendelsons. If he's here for me, that means that something must've happened. Mom, could you go down and welcome him for me?"

This stunned Sophia. "Do you know him very well? Desmond?"

This was because she heard her daughter address him by name.

If she did not know him well, why would she address him so directly?

"Mom, quickly head down and greet him. Frank deeply trusts his butler, as Desmond handles all the aspects of the Mendelson household. You don't want to offend him." Amelia purposefully stated that as if Desmond would actually be offended while she pushed Sophia out of her room.

In truth, Frank's butler, Desmond, and Dylan's butler, Amos, were not someone ordinary people should cross.

This was why everybody usually addressed them as 'mister'.

After pushing her mother out of the room, Amelia hurriedly shut the door before putting back the clothes Sophia chose for her. Then, she picked out clothes that she liked and tidied herself up before heading downstairs.

By then, Sophia had already invited Desmond in.

"How can my Amy help you, Mr. Desmond?" Sophia wore a polite smile on her face.

Thinking that since he had stated his identity and Sophia knew who he was, Desmond reasoned that his master would want him to pick up Amelia often, so he chose to come clean.

"It's like this, Mrs. Taylor. My master wants me to pick Miss Taylor up because he wants to meet her. Also, he wants Miss Taylor to prepare breakfast for him. My master is in a bad mood today, so he skipped breakfast and went straight to work."

Sophia was completely befuddled upon hearing this.

Am I hearing things?

Mr. Mendelson had his butler come over to pick Amy up, so he could see her and eat the breakfast she prepares?

W-Why does this sound a bit suspicious?

This makes it seem like Amy and Mr. Mendelson are a pair.

In reality, the person Frank loved was Kendall. After all, he was the one declaring his love for her so blatantly that caused Kendall to be ousted from the Colemans by her mother-in-law.

It was after a while did Sophia snap back to reality and asked, "Mr. Desmond, I don't really understand your words. You said that you're picking Amy up and sending her to the Mendelson Group under orders from your master… and she needs to prepare breakfast for him as well? It's not like it's Amy's fault that your master is in a bad mood and went to work without breakfast, so why are you here for her?"

Frank smiled and replied, "Mrs. Taylor, our master likes it when Miss Taylor accompanies him when he's down."

Hearing this, Sophia stared at him wide-eyed. "Give me a second, Mr. Desmond."

She tried to digest what Desmond was telling her before she questioned, "Mr. Desmond, does your master meet with my daughter on a regular basis?"

She only knew about Amelia taking candids of Frank, who then had his bodyguards remove the photos upon discovering them.

Besides that time, when did Amy meet with Frank?

Sophia was completely oblivious as to what was going on.

Did she take photos of him in secret after that?

Swearing by it, Amelia had promised to never take any candids of Frank again.

Yet, just as Desmond was about to explain the situation to her, they heard a stomping sound coming from the stairwell. It was Amelia, who was running down the stairs in a hurry.

When she was still upstairs, she heard the conversation between Desmond and her mother, which spooked her.

How could Desmond tell Mom that I see Frank frequently!?!

"Desmond."

After Amelia ran downstairs, she approached them and pulled Desmond aside while saying to Sophia, "Mom, excuse us for a moment."

Sophia did not know what to say. Seeing how she acted, she knew that they knew each other quite well.

What is this brat hiding from me?

She then remembered that Amelia had been going out rather early in the morning lately and always came back late. Sometimes, she did not even know whether her daughter came home.

Then, her eyelids started twitching. Don't tell me that Amy has been returning so late because she was together with Mr. Mendelson?

But, why?

After Amelia went outside with Desmond, she exclaimed in an angry yet panicked tone, "Mr. Desmond, why are you here without informing me beforehand? Also, you can't tell my mom that I meet Frank frequently. She doesn't know anything about this."

Desmond replied innocently, "Miss Taylor, I did try to call you, but you didn't answer. Also, you have been together with Master very frequently lately. You cannot hope to hide this. Your mother will come to know this eventually. So, you should accept this fact sooner or later."

Amelia felt a rush of blood to her head right then.

"Desmond, I'm the target where your master takes his anger out on. Don't make it seem like we have something romantic going on between us. What do you mean 'together with your master'? I can't hope to hide this? You're sounding as if I'm having an affair with Frank."

This made Desmond smile. "Alright, I admit it was a slip of the tongue from my side. Miss Taylor, my master is in a bad mood today. He went to the company without any breakfast. With how heavy his workload is, he won't take it if he doesn't have breakfast. So, please come with me now. We can pick up breakfast from the hotel outside and give it to him."

Hearing this, Sophia stared at him wide-eyed. "Give me a second, Mr. Desmond."

At that, Amelia took a few steps backward. "Desmond, please don't make it hard on me. Everytime your master is in a bad mood, you come to me and I become his outlet for releasing stress. Have you considered my feelings? If he's so capable, then he can go fight it out with Master Dylan. I believe that Master Dylan is more than willing to do so. If he doesn't want to eat, it means that he isn't hungry. I do not want to serve him breakfast. When he's on the verge of dying from starvation, you can come find me. I'll ask for his bank account password. Then, I can inherit his wealth when he dies, hahaha."

Yet, Desmond only replied, "If you get married to my master, Miss Taylor, his riches will all be yours."

Suddenly, Amelia's smile froze up as she choked on her saliva.

"I was only joking, Desmond. Please don't pull this kind of prank on me. Who would want to marry to such a demented person like your master? People who fall in love with him are all blind. I admit that I have stellar vision, so I definitely am not blind."

Besides, Frank only had Kendall in his heart. With how insistent he was toward Kendall, Amelia thought that it would be very hard for another woman to enter his heart.

She admitted that she did not possess such qualifications to do so, nor did she want to hurt herself trying. After all, her love for Ronnie ended in tatters and she grieved over that for a good few days.

"Let's go, Miss Taylor." Desmond, who saw that it was getting late, was not interested in chit-chatting with Amelia as he gestured for her to get into the car.

Yet, Amelia stated, "Desmond, I thought I made it clear that I'm not going. My mom has set up a blind date between me and Mrs. Mullinsky's son. I need to attend that. She's very worried since I've failed so many blind dates." She then turned around to walk back into the house.

At that moment, Desmond waved his hand and two bodyguards from the Mendelsons immediately blocked her path.

"Miss Taylor, I don't want to hurt you, so please don't force their hand and come with me quietly. The master is still waiting for your breakfast."

Amelia's face darkened. "You can't always force me!"

In reality, even though they were 'inviting' her every time, the truth was she did not have a say in the matter just like right now.
