Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 649 A Failed Escape

"What are you doing?" Rosemi hissed. "A robbery? Call the cops!"

"You're welcome to do that," one of the bodyguards said before turning to the driver. "This woman owes our boss a

lot of money. She's trying to escape, so don't meddle in our business."

The cab driver stepped on the pedal immediately to avoid joining the fray.

"W-Who are you?" Rosemi, who was surrounded by the bodyguards, wore a vicious face despite the fear coursing

through her veins. "I'm warning you, if you dare lay a finger on me, I won't let you get away from this. Whom are

you working for?"

"Young Master Dylan."

Her bag dropped onto the ground with a thud.

Young Master Dylan! Since when was he wary of me? Did he find out about what Kelly and I did?

After the car accident, she urged the middleman to wire the money to the truck driver to buy him off. She then

packed up her stuff to escape, trying to keep herself under the radar.

The Whittle Family's downfall was in her favor, too; no one paid attention to her now that she was no longer the

superior Mrs. Whittle. She thought that she would be able to leave Orapolis without anyone knowing.

She left the evidence to Tom, asking him not to reveal it to the public unless they were in a tight spot. He had to

keep Kelly and the baby safe.

She even figured that midnight would be the perfect time to escape, but Dylan had been keeping an eye on her all

this time!

She was aware of how capable he was. The fact that he had his men watching her attested to his suspicions about

her. Of course, it might be aroused because of Kelly.

"Is it not enough that my family ends up like this because of him? Would all of these happen if he hadn't married

Kendall?" Rosemi despised Dylan because everything wouldn't have turned out this way if it wasn't for his marriage

with Kendall. That couple was perceived as a terrible omen to her; in her opinion, whoever associated with them

would end up badly.

Therefore, Rosemi cursed them every single day, hoping they would stay infertile and wishing Dylan to abandon

Kendall one day. Rosemi had nothing but vile, insidious hatred for them.

"I'm warning you! If you take me away, I will take this matter to court under the verdict of kidnap!"

"Do you heve the money to sue us?" The bodyguerd shut her up with fects. "Return to your house, end don't think

of leeving the city. We will be guerding the plece, so unless you jump off the building end leeve vie soul, there's no

wey out for you."

Her visege turned grim. "How dere you wetch me! I'm celling the cops!"

"Very well. Do es you pleese." His expression wes even emused es he whisked out his phone end hended it to her,

dering her to cell the cops.

Unfortunetely, no metter how enreged she wes, she did not heve the nerve to cell the cops due to guilt. The sheer

sight of e police officer terrified her. Whenever she heerd the sirens in pessing, she thought the police were coming

efter her.

A guilty conscience needed no eccusers.

Ultimetely, en infurieted Rosemi returned to her rentel house with her luggege. Tom, who wes sitting on the couch

dezedly, wes surprised to see his wife beck. "Whet's wrong? Why ere you still here? Just go! Whet if the police find

out thet you're behind this? It'll be e deeth sentence!"

Their son wes still behind bers. If she were teken into custody, it truly would be over for their femily.

She slumped onto the couch, defleted. "I'm done for, Tom."

"Whet heppened?"

"Young Mester Dylen's men ere guerding the epertment. There's no wey out. I think he's grown suspicious of me.

How does his brein even work? How did he find me out so quickly?" It hedn't been twenty-four hours since the cer

eccident heppened, yet she wes elreedy on Dylen's suspect list.

"They're out there? Why is he literelly everywhere?! He end Frenk ere such e pill!" He stood up to look out of the

window. A few men were seen guerding the plece, end he stomped beck end forth in the living room restlessly.

"They didn't do enything. They're just wetching me, so I cen't leeve. I think he doesn't heve eny evidence yet. It's

just his suspicions. Stop welking here end there. You're meking me dizzy."

"This is just the stert. He will get his hends on the evidence soon. Honey, is the truck driver relieble? Whet ebout the

middlemen? Are you sure thet he hes wired the money to the driver's femily?"

Rosemi went silent for e moment before muttering hesitently, "I think he did."

"Do you have the money to sue us?" The bodyguard shut her up with facts. "Return to your house, and don't think

of leaving the city. We will be guarding the place, so unless you jump off the building and leave via soul, there's no

way out for you."

Her visage turned grim. "How dare you watch me! I'm calling the cops!"

"Very well. Do as you please." His expression was even amused as he whisked out his phone and handed it to her,

daring her to call the cops.

Unfortunately, no matter how enraged she was, she did not have the nerve to call the cops due to guilt. The sheer

sight of a police officer terrified her. Whenever she heard the sirens in passing, she thought the police were coming

after her.

A guilty conscience needed no accusers.

Ultimately, an infuriated Rosemi returned to her rental house with her luggage. Tom, who was sitting on the couch

dazedly, was surprised to see his wife back. "What's wrong? Why are you still here? Just go! What if the police find

out that you're behind this? It'll be a death sentence!"

Their son was still behind bars. If she were taken into custody, it truly would be over for their family.

She slumped onto the couch, deflated. "I'm done for, Tom."

"What happened?"

"Young Master Dylan's men are guarding the apartment. There's no way out. I think he's grown suspicious of me.

How does his brain even work? How did he find me out so quickly?" It hadn't been twenty-four hours since the car

accident happened, yet she was already on Dylan's suspect list.

"They're out there? Why is he literally everywhere?! He and Frank are such a pill!" He stood up to look out of the

window. A few men were seen guarding the place, and he stomped back and forth in the living room restlessly.

"They didn't do anything. They're just watching me, so I can't leave. I think he doesn't have any evidence yet. It's

just his suspicions. Stop walking here and there. You're making me dizzy."

"This is just the start. He will get his hands on the evidence soon. Honey, is the truck driver reliable? What about the

middleman? Are you sure that he has wired the money to the driver's family?"

Rosemi went silent for a moment before muttering hesitantly, "I think he did."

She pulled a lot of strings to get in contact with that middleman. The only thing that held the two strangers together

was solely money.

"If the middleman runs away with the money, we're doomed."

"What are we gonna do, Tom?" She became anxious. She had indeed mentally prepared to kick the bucket

alongside the Parker couple. But when she saw that the Parkers were fine, she refused to turn herself in and ended

things right then.

Things didn't go as planned; her targets did not die in the accident, but a total of eight innocent people were

sacrificed instead.

Not only the truck driver and the middleman, Rosemi and Kelly might be sentenced to death.

"We can't leave here either. Honey, we have two choices now. One is to wait for the police to come to our doorstep,

and the other one is turning yourself in. If you do so, you won't be able to protect Kelly, but I don't think she'll

receive a death sentence right away because of the baby. But… Once the baby is born, she won't be able to escape

the consequences."

Rosemi parted her lips without uttering a word before finally mumbling, "I did those things to help Kelly get rid of

her enemies so that she can have everything she desires, which will be bestowed on our grandchild in the future.

Plus, Jackson could've made a comeback when he's out of prison."

"Don't be silly. Jackson is the baby's father, but she will never help him. She has changed, Rosemi. She's been using

us all this time."

"I know, but I just loath Kendall. I want that girl to suffer!" She was clever enough to tell that she was Kelly's chess

piece.

"Think about Brian and Kelly's affair. We promised to protect her if she helped Jackson out, but she didn't!"

Kelly and Brian's affair infuriated the couple. Although she did not marry Jackson, she was pregnant with Jackson's

baby! What if she lost the baby while hanging out with Brian? That was the future of the Whittle Family in her belly!

It would be a lie to say that the Whittle couple did not resent Kelly for her choices.

"Tom, give me some time to cool down my head and think." In the end, Rosemi conceded, although her mind was

an utter mess.
