Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549

Soon, Kelly returned home.

Charlotte, who had invited a few friends over for poker, briefly looked up before returning to her game and simply asked, "Why are you back?"

"I left a document at home, so I'm here to get it. I see you're playing cards, Mommy. How's your luck?"

"It's fine, I guess."

Charlotte didn't even glance up once during their conversation.

Kelly's face was swollen on one side, so she avoided going over to watch and instead waved to the ladies before heading up.

As soon as she went upstairs, she immediately phoned her servant and requested her to bring her an ice pack; she even specifically instructed her not to alert the ladies to avoid her mother asking too much.

The servant quickly sent the ice pack upstairs.

"The ladies did not notice, right?" Kelly asked as she took over the ice pack.

"Mrs. Parker did, but she didn't ask about it," the servant replied.

Kelly was taken aback and felt downhearted when she was reminded that her relationship with her adoptive parents had worsened. After coming back to her senses, she said, "There's nothing else. You may continue with your work."

Back then, when her adoptive parents urged her to stay away from Jackson, she refused to listen and even asked them not to interfere.

Now, they couldn't care less about her.

Kelly wasn't happy at all. If they chose to stop fussing about her, it meant that they no longer cared or loved her. It's all because of Kendall. Why can't she just vanish into thin air?!

Then, she closed the door and returned to her couch. While she applied the ice pack to her face, she chatted with Laura.

There hadn't been any news from Laura for some time, but she did continue to secretly observe Dylan and Kendall's affairs.

Kelly no longer had any bosom friends. The people who used to hang out with her and Yasmine were now avoiding her. All she did was have an affair with Jackson, yet those people avoided her whenever they bumped into her like she was the plague.

In the past, she used to look down on wealthy young ladies from slightly less well-known families, but now, they all despised her for being promiscuous and cheap.

Fortunately, Laura wasn't the same. She still treated her just like before.

As she was talking to Laura, they arrived at the topic of Kendall once again.

"It's all because of Kendall that I ended up like this today."

They were communicating through voice messages.

"Ever since I convinced her to visit the Colemans to call off the marriage and took drastic measures like slicing her pulse, she started changing. There must be some scheme behind this; I suspect that the current Kendall is a fake, so I asked Mommy to do a paternity test with her."

"I don't know the results, but based on the way my mother treats Kendall, I know there's nothing wrong with the test results. Perhaps there is, but someone powerful might've changed the results."

"You see, Laura, every person's personality is fixed. Isn't it strange that she completely changed all of a sudden?"

Laura responded, "It is. She used to come to my store with your mother to pick out clothing. Her fashion taste was rather questionable, but after refusing the marriage, her taste has significantly improved."

"She loved Jackson to the point of being willing to die for him. For him, she went on a hunger strike and even dared to offend Master Dylan. However, she lost her love for him out of nowhere and willingly married Dylan. This simply makes no sense."

"Exactly. However, there's nothing wrong with the paternity test either…" Kelly remarked.

"Her physique remains the same. Perhaps she's being possessed."

Laura said, "If that's the case, even if you ask your mother to conduct a hundred paternity tests, the result will also show that they are biologically related. Usually, you would need to find an eminent priest for stuff like this."

"If a person is controlled by a spirit, wouldn't he or she be in a muddled state? She's the opposite, though—that shrewd woman is becoming more and more cunning."

She dared not underestimate the enemy now.

"Maybe it's a powerful spirit. Why don't you find an eminent priest to observe her?"

"How would I know any priests? I don't even believe in the supernatural."

She didn't believe in Heaven or Hell; she only knew that the winner ultimately ruled everything.

"Do you know any, Laura? Perhaps you could introduce one to me."

"I do know a very powerful medium. He is not a priest but a medium who specializes in tarot reading, gathering spirits, and telling fortunes. I'll give you his contact information. You can speak to him. He is a powerful one. By giving him Kendall's date of birth, he can torment her until she'd rather end up dead."

Kelly was dubious. "Is he that powerful?"

She thought, Who would be bold enough to offend those alleged mediums if they were that powerful? Wouldn't that be a death wish? The world would be in chaos by then.

"Some even know how to cast a spell that can kill someone."

"Does that medium know how to do so?"

"I don't think so…"

Laura boasted the other party so well, but when Kelly asked, she dared not say more.

Deep down, Kelly knew that the so-called medium Laura wanted to introduce to her was probably a fluke.

"If you don't believe in the medium, you can go to a church to find a priest and ask around. They would immediately know if a person ran into evil."

"I heard that Old Madam Coleman went to a medium on Master Dylan's behalf and got his fortune read. Following the medium's guidance, she went to your family to make a marriage proposal and specifically requested that Kendall wed into their family. Perhaps you could go to that medium and ask what happened."

Kelly was unaware that such a thing had happened.

All this time, she always thought that Kendall's rural upbringing and her rightful status as the Parker Family's beloved daughter were the reasons why the Colemans wanted her to marry into the family. Kendall would know how to take care of Dylan, yet her family background wouldn't embarrass him.

Little did she expect Old Madam Coleman to have visited a medium and requested the marriage under the medium's suggestion.

Did that mean Master Dylan and Kendall were destined to get married?

In that case, what was the point in her asking? The result would only make her angrier.

After thinking about it, Kelly said to Laura, "Laura, you should give me the medium's contact. I'll book a fortune-telling session."

She wanted to see her destiny and Kendall's. More importantly, she needed to know who would win in the end and inherit everything from the Parker Family.

The current Kelly despised Kendall so much that she was prepared to do anything that would cause Kendall misfortune.

"Okay." Laura readily gave her the medium's contact information.

"This should be carried out discreetly, Kelly. Never let the medium know your real identity. In the event of an accident, you'd be able to save yourself."

"You have to remember that Master Dylan and President Mendelson are supporting Kendall. Both of them aren't people you want to mess with," Laura warned Kelly.

Once Dylan knew that the two of them were targeting Kendall behind their backs, Laura would never be able to stay in Orapolis, and Kelly would not be better off either.

"Of course."

While replying, she suddenly asked, "Did you complete all 40 sets of garments that Master Dylan requested you to make for Kendall?"

"There are still two sets of winter clothes left unfinished. What's the matter?"
