Kendall's Sacrifice

In all honesty, this was something that Kelly was very concerned about.

She wondered if Kendall had really let him go, or if Kendall was only baiting her to reveal the truth

herself because Kendall had already found out about her and Jackson.

"Kelly, did you know that Mrs. Whittle came over to our home today?" Kendall suddenly asked.

Kelly had a bad feeling about it all of a sudden. "What did she come here for?"

Kendall only stared at her without saying a word.

Seeing that her sister wasn't replying, Kelly asked again, "What are you looking at me like that for,

Kendall?"

"I want to congratulate you!" Kendall smiled. Just as Kelly was starting to wonder what she was talking

about, Kendall explained, "Mrs. Whittle was here to deliver the dowry."

"Dowry?!" Kelly shrieked. However, her voice turned calm again the next moment. "She must have

brought the dowry to you on behalf of Jackson. I should be the one congratulating you, Kendall."

"Mrs. Whittle came to propose to you," Kendall unexpectedly told her. "And she even directly prepared

and brought the dowry over in broad daylight. She even said it outright that she wanted you as her

daughter-in-law. This is a joyous occasion. Congratulations!"

Ignoring the dumb, baffled look on Kelly's face, Kendall leaned in and whispered, "But Mommy was

really angry about it. She rejected the proposal."

After saying that, Kendall walked past Kelly and sauntered in the direction they came from.

Kelly, on the other hand, couldn't calm herself down after learning about this.

If only she was the Parker couple's biological daughter, she would definitely have had a grand wedding

with Jackson.

However, Kelly was not happy at all about Rosemi coming to their house personally to suggest a

proposal between Kelly and Jackson. Instead, she was enraged.

Why would Rosemi do something like bringing the dowry over without telling her beforehand?!

Almost all of Orapolis knew that Kendall liked Jackson. Jackson, too, had said that he would marry

Kendall. However, the one Rosemi was proposing to now was Kelly. Truth was, it didn't even surprise

Kelly that Charlotte had reacted negatively at that. Not only that, Rosemi's actions would only make

Adam and Charlotte think that she was robbing Kendall of her groom…

Kelly immediately took out her phone and called Jackson. As soon as he picked up the call, she blurted

out, "Jackson, did you know that your mother brought dowry over to my house and proposed to me on

your behalf today?"

"Kendall, you said that you have let go of the grudge between you and Jackson?" Kelly abruptly

changed the direction the conversation was heading into. "Are you… really planning on giving up on

him? It was love at first sight for you, wasn't it? And he also has feelings for you. You both are meant

for each other."

Jackson was stunned upon hearing that. "How could my mother do this?" he hissed in a low voice.

"She didn't inform anyone before she brought the dowry over? Kelly, I didn't know about this. I honestly

had no idea."

"I had a feeling you didn't. Now that your mother has interfered with our plans, I am afraid we will need

to come up with a new plan."

"Kelly." Still in a low voice, Jackson asked, "How did your mother react when my mother brought the

dowry over? Why don't we just get married if she has agreed to it?"

Kelly stayed level-headed despite everything that was happening.

She knew she couldn't get married before Kendall did.

Because as soon as she did, Adam would definitely be more cautious of her and her husband's side of

the family.

When Kelly used to be an only child, she was supposed to be the one who would inherit everything

from the Parkers. Adam had once told her that she must protect the family name and never let her

husband have any of their property under his name.

But now, there was Kendall in the equation. Kelly knew that Adam would train Kendall to be the

successor of the company if Kelly were to get married first. After all, Kendall was the biological

daughter and Kelly was not.

After collecting her thoughts, Kelly calmly explained, "We can't be together now, Jackson. I cannot get

married before Kendall does. It is not that I don't love you, Jackson. It is my dream to be your bride.

You know what my plans are. Can you please wait for me for a little longer? Your priority now is to get

your company out of its current crisis. I asked Kendall about it earlier. She told me that she wasn't the

one who talked Master Dylan into taking revenge on Whittle Holdings. I don't think she lied. Think about

it—does Master Dylan look like a man who will move mountains for a woman? We might have

overestimated Kendall. Also, I know how busy you are, but you need to make time to explain to Kendall

that you have nothing to do with your mother's unplanned visit with the dowry. Kendall likes you too

much that I find it hard to believe she has let go of her feelings for you in just a little more than a week's

time."

Kelly realized that she had been a little too impulsive lately, and it was because of this that Kendall had

her suspicions on Kelly's relationship with Jackson. Today was a prime example of the consequences.

Jackson's anticipation was starting to fade away.

The very woman who said that she was crazy about him was pushing him to another woman because

of her own interests and ambitions.

He still remembered how he used to despise Kendall, but it was for his lover's thirst for more that he

had no choice but to pretend that the one he loved was Kendall.
