Kendall's Sacrifice novel Chapter 568

Chapter 568

After learning about Kelly's plan, Laura refuted, "If you think it's safe to do so, then you should buy some clothes, stuff some drugs into them, and give them to Kendall. Why are you even trying to drag me into this? If the matter is exposed, you'll stay out of it while I'll suffer." Then, she sneered. "On the other hand, you've hooked up with a wealthy man as you have Brian's support now. I do not have such a backer."

Kelly's face fell as she snapped, "Laura, I sincerely want to work with you and deal with our common enemy, but you're afraid of taking action. Someone like you can only watch others live a happy life while you're jealous and miserable."

Following that, she rose from the chair. "It seems that I was wrong about you, and please stop giving me calls to tell me what I should do to make Kendall suffer."

Kelly hated it when others mocked her relationship with Brian. Although they still came into contact in secret, Jacqueline wasn't willing to accept her. As such, Brian stopped looking for her as frequently as he used to.

In the past, she was the woman Brian admired, but now, she was just a lover he couldn't let anyone know. Despite that, she had to endure the humiliation, for Brian was the only person she could rely on. Only he was willing to side with her and help her deal with Kendall.

After taking a few steps forward, Kelly turned around and said to Laura, "If you dare expose me in front of Dylan, you'll suffer as well. Don't forget that you've taught me how to deal with Kendall before. Given Dylan's love for his wife, he'll destroy both of us."

Although she couldn't collaborate with Laura, they were still in the same boat. As such, Laura shouldn't even think about exposing her behind her back.

With a dark expression, Laura watched Kelly leave in silence. Just now, there was a moment where she had the urge to look for Dylan and expose Kelly. After Kelly's threat, she knew that her idea wasn't feasible.

Just like what Kelly had said, Dylan would probably destroy both of them if he found out about their wrongdoings. It was a well-known fact that Dylan was ruthless.

After leaving the main store of L.E. Boutique, Kelly gave Brian a call. Presently, Brian was forced by his mother to go on a date with a wealthy young lady. They were taking a stroll around the backyard of Zorn Mansion while Jacqueline followed behind them from a distance. Kendall's mother was having a chat with Jacqueline while walking alongside her.

Therefore, Brian was unable to pick up Kelly's call. He disconnected the call and muted his phone. After he was done with all that, he continued taking a stroll with the young lady. Kelly kept calling Brian, but he never picked up. She was so furious that she had the urge to hurl her phone to the floor. While she was infuriated, others enjoyed a peaceful time. The sun in the sky slowly moved westward and eventually sunk into the horizon.

Meanwhile, Frank arrived home at dusk. The instant he entered the living room, he yelled, "Amelia, I'm back!"

Nonetheless, Amelia was nowhere to be seen, nor did she respond to him. With a frown, he called out, "Mr. Desmond! Mr. Desmond!"

To his surprise, Desmond wasn't around either.

Just then, the cook left the kitchen and explained respectfully, "Ms. Taylor and Mr. Desmond are in the backyard, Mr. Mendelson. She has found a suitable tree and decided to get a swing installed. She said that it'd be wonderful to sit on a swing under a big tree, given the recent weather. As such, Mr. Desmond has ordered some people to install the swing for her."

With a gloomy expression, Frank turned around and left the house.

"Mr. Mendelson—"

Frank had stepped out of the house before the cook could finish his words. Therefore, the cook could only keep his mouth shut.

As he thought about Frank's reaction earlier, he murmured, "Is Mr. Mendelson mad?"

Well, that's probably the case. Mr. Mendelson loves pulling pranks on Ms. Taylor. However, she has decided to get a swing installed in the backyard without his permission. It's only natural that he's mad. Mr. Desmond shouldn't have agreed to her request before informing Mr. Mendelson about it!

The cook sighed. This matter had nothing to do with him, nor was he able to help Amelia in any way. As such, he decided to continue preparing the dishes. He knew what Amelia's favorite dishes were. Every time she was bullied by Frank, she would start pigging out on food to vent her anger. I'm envious of Ms. Taylor. She's a big eater but will never gain any weight!

Meanwhile, Frank strode toward the backyard. His face was grim, and his gaze was terrifying. When the bodyguards saw him, they were shocked by his expression. However, none of them had the guts to inform those in the backyard about it.

Presently, Desmond was just beside Amelia as the bodyguards installed the swing. He said with a smile, "It's a pretty good choice, Ms. Taylor. Although it's an old tree, the tree crown is full of leaves. It can block out most of the sunlight during the afternoon, so you'll feel cool by standing under the tree. After the swing is installed, you'll be able to sit on it and enjoy the breeze. I can imagine that it will be a pleasant experience."

Amelia replied with a smile, "I share the same sentiment. It's indeed a good place."

She decided to get a swing installed in this place on a whim because she had seen a swing that Dylan had installed for Kendall in his residence. She couldn't possibly ask Frank to install a swing for her, so she could only do it herself.

"You're right." Desmond was glad to see that the installation was about to conclude. The seat could accommodate two people. When Frank finally came to realize he was in love with Amelia, he would be able to use the swing with her in this place. That would be a romantic experience. Furthermore, the view around here was sublime, so they could also enjoy it together.

All of a sudden, a husky and cold voice was heard.

"Tear it down!"

Only then did they realize Frank was there. No one knew when he arrived, but when they saw his dark expression and impassive gaze, they knew that he was displeased.

"Mr. Mendelson, the swing—" The bodyguards had stopped what they were doing. They wouldn't dare move a muscle or utter a word. Only Desmond had the courage to speak, but he was soon cut off by Frank.

"It's got nothing to do with you, Mr. Desmond. Tell them to tear it down and go away."

Desmond was rendered speechless. After darting his gaze between Amelia and Frank, he decided to obey his employer. He then turned to the bodyguards and said, "Tear it down."

Meanwhile, Amelia snapped, "I'm just trying to get a swing installed in your backyard, and I've paid for it. Why are you so mad? You're so small-minded as you're not even willing to let me use the tree!"

If Kendall likes a swing, I'm sure Frank will install it for her without hesitation. Amelia felt bitter and jealous.

Soon, she chastised herself for dragging Kendall into this. Kendall had told her to think twice before deciding to fall in love with Frank, for the man still hadn't forgotten about Kendall. As such, she couldn't blame anyone for Frank's indifference and harshness. More importantly, Kendall didn't love Frank at all, so Amelia wasn't supposed to be jealous of her.

Meanwhile, Frank stared fixedly at her without a word. After staring back for a while, Amelia looked away. However, she never stopped reprimanding the man for being petty.

Frank didn't argue with her, nor did he stop her from scolding him. He remained calm and collected as he watched the woman vent her fury on him.
