Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 108

By the time Kendall returned after grabbing some food, she could not distinguish which glass of wine

was hers. Since Amelia did not have a sip of hers as well, Kendall simply held one of the glasses and

leaned against the chair while her eyes fixated on the reveling guests. Having a glass of wine to

indulge in as an observer was surprisingly pleasant. Of course, she took a few peeks at her husband

too. However, she would avert her gaze as if she was not looking at him whenever their eyes met by

chance.

In order to keep herself safe from Dylan's flock of admirers, she would rather not stay by his side on

such an occasion. He truly was a capable man; in spite of his disability, women were still hung up on

him.

When her glass was half empty yet again, Kendall turned to look at Dylan for another time, only to

realize that he had left. Scanning around the vicinity, she did not see a shadow of his figure or even his

bodyguard. There were only those surrounding Alice and Yasmine.

Though it was clearly Yasmine's birthday, Alice was equally favored by the guests as well. Alice should

be grateful that the Coleman Family was superior to the Zorn Family or she would have been in big

trouble.

Absorbed in her thoughts, Kendall smiled lightly. As long as I don't appear in Yasmine's sight like Kelly,

she might not cause me any trouble and today will be another peaceful night to end.

Still, trouble continued to come her way although she kept her head down. Soon, Yasmine was seen

strolling toward Kendall's way with her best friends trailing behind at heel.

The approaching woman conjured Kendall's memories from her past life. Back to that night, Kendall

gave her regards and wishes to the birthday girl under Kelly's reminder. However, when they were

toasting, Yasmine's hand trembled intentionally and spilled some wine onto Kendall's gown. The dark

red smidgens on her gown was visible due to the white fabric.

Yasmine feigned that she was panicked and quickly offered to assist to clean the mess, yet she seized

the chance by pouring the remaining drink onto Kendall's hand, which caused the forlorn lady to be

drenched in red wine.

Within seconds, the white gown turned into a piece of shoddy cloth, rendering her to be the laughing

stock amongst the guests. Though she was puffed up with fury, she could not flip out to Yasmine's

apologetic face.

Now, would the past repeat itself?

"Kendall, why are you here alone?" asked Kelly as she came to Kendall's side. She whispered into her

sister’s ear, "This is Yasmine. You should wish her right now if you wanna get along with others in the

future."

"Okay," said Kendall meekly. Once Yasmine was ushered over to the corner like the toast of the crowd,

Kendall placed the plate down and wiped her mouth nonchalantly before raising her glass. She stood

up as she flashed a smile at Yasmine. "Happy birthday, Miss Zorn. May God bless you with health,

wealth and prosperity in life."

The other party merely looked at Kendall with pride, but she remained calm with a polite smile in return.

"Miss Zorn, Miss Parker is wishing you," reminded Alice as she could not bear to see her sister-in-law

being belittled.

Then, Yasmine let out a smile and responded, "Thank you for your wonderful wishes, Miss Parker.

Cheers." She raised her glass as well.

It's happening again. I guess I can never run away from my fate, surmised Kendall in her heart.

She acted like she was shocked and lifted her glass at Yasmine. "Cheers. May all your birthday wishes

come true, Miss Zorn."

When their wine glasses touched each other with a cling, Kendall's eyes zeroed in on Yasmine, who

tilted the glass intentionally to spill the wine on her gown, just like what happened in her previous life!

Luckily, she quickly dodged to the other side in time and successfully saved her gown. Meanwhile, a

flicker of rage showed in Yasmine's eyes before she masked her ire with an apologetic expression.

"Miss Parker, I'm so sorry about that. Thank goodness your gown is alright."

"It's alright."

Considering her gown was still the same as it was, Kendall would rather be the forgiving lady that she

was than to be capricious in front of the crowd.

"Enjoy the party, Miss Parker. I shall greet the others." Yasmine smiled and wheeled around.

Keeping her guard up, Kendall stared at her without blinking. As expected, she 'accidentally' stumbled

while turning around. While trying to dodge the spilt wine, Kendall took a few steps back, causing her to

bump into someone and even stepped onto the person's foot.

"Yasmine."

Kelly reached out her hands to support Yasmine so that she would not fall on her face. However, it was

all just a show. Kendall was aware that Yasmine would never allow herself to be embarrassed at her

very own party by falling to the ground.

"I'm fine. Miss Parker, are you alright?" asked Yasmine sheepishly, as if it was nothing more than an

accident.

Before Kendall could even answer, she let out an exclamation, "President Mendelson." The man

appeared behind Kendall out of nowhere.

President Mendelson?

Kendall turned around and saw those gorgeous eyes. Men with such beautiful eyes were said to be

untrammeled, yet he was the exception for the reason that he was still single even till today. Even so,

he was involved in several scandals with a few female celebrities under Mendelson Entertainment.

The rumors were clarified in no time as it was transpired that the celebrities had attempted to leverage

such news to take center stage in the industry. Needless to say, the intention to be the lady of the

Mendelson Family did sprout in their mind too.

In contrast to their fantasies, those women had been chastened by a few flops in their career. Anyone

could tell that it was a punishment from Frank, who literally ended their careers. Their possibility for a

comeback was close to nil.

"Miss Parker, you stepped on my foot," claimed Frank icily.

The eminent businessmen around him could attest to his words as they had seen Kendall running into

him. He did not approach her himself, but rather, he was bumped and stepped on to begin with.

"My apologies, President Mendelson. I'm really sorry. It wasn't on purpose."

Yasmine came over and apologized as well, "President Mendelson, it's all my fault. I tripped and the

wine spilled in her direction, so she had to dodge it. It was an accident. Please don’t take it out on her,

for my sake?"

After hearing her plea, Kendall looked at Yasmine in surprise before glancing at the indifferent man,

who could readily give a woman butterflies with that handsome face and engaging eyes.

Perhaps she likes him?

Yasmine sure was not a foolish woman to devote her lifetime happiness to Dylan, who was now

disabled. In light of her family's status, Frank was the best candidate whom she could find to be the

new in-law of the Zorn Family.

What a realistic woman. Kendall suddenly felt a sense of sympathy toward Frank.
