Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 45
Just as Jackson was about to leave with the two sets of jewelry, Rosemi called out to him.
"What is it, Mom?"
"Jackson." Rosemi walked over to him and whispered into his ear, "When you take Kendall out to meet your client later, get her
drunk and sleep with her. That way, she won't be able to leave you."
Jackson's mouth twitched.
"Mom," Jackson spoke in a low voice. "Do you think I'd need to resort to such underhanded tactics?"
Rosemi rolled her eyes at him. "It's the best way to get what you want, so who cares if it's underhanded or not? I thought that it
was confirmed that the Parkers would accept our marriage proposal since Kendall is madly in love with you and is dying to marry
you, but look how it turned out instead. I don't trust what Mrs. Parker said. Something must have happened."
"Jackson, if you're determined to marry Kendall, then do as I say. If not, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
Jackson fell silent.
He did not like Kendall at all. On the contrary, he despised her. The only reason why he wanted to marry her was so that he
could plot with Kelly and use Kendall to pocket the entire Parker Family fortune.
And yet, he was upset when Kendall's attitude toward him changed. He could not stand the way she distanced herself from him.
"I'll think about it, Mom."
"What's there to think about, Jackson? You need to be firm on this. Don't think about it anymore and just do as I say. Go and look
for Kendall now, and tell her that you want her to meet a client with you. She'll definitely go with you."

"Alright, Mom, I'll do as you say."
Jackson decided to give his mother's suggestion a go.
Rosemi smiled and patted her son on the back. "Go on. You don't need to come back home tonight. Just spend the night with
Kendall at a hotel."
"I hope you'll succeed, Jackson."
Jackson left the house with the jewelry under his mother's watchful eyes.
He still had some time before his meeting with his client, so he followed his mother's instructions and went over to Coleman
Mansion to look for Kendall. He wanted to convince her to follow him to meet his client.
On his way there, he gave Kelly a call to tell her about his plan.
"Jackson, what did you say?"
Kelly was still doing overtime at the office.
When she heard Jackson's plan, she huffed and threw her pen on the floor before leaping to her feet. Her face was contorted in
anger and disbelief.
Jackson was aware that his actions would be a form of betrayal toward Kelly, so he tried to appease her. "Kelly, I'm doing this for
our sake. You know better than I do that Kendall has changed. Both your mother and Kendall rejected my mother's marriage
offer. I have to do this to marry her."
"Jackson, go on, sleep with her. I dare you!"
Kelly lashed out in anger. "You're mine! You promised me that you'd never sleep with Kendall!"
"Kelly, I'm only doing this because I have no other option. If you can think of any other options, I'm all ears." Jackson was

beginning to regret being honest with Kelly about this.
Kelly might seem like an easygoing person on the surface, but she was actually a very domineering person.
She had long considered him to be hers.
The Parkers only had one child, and before Kendall came back, the Parkers showered Kelly with all their affection. Their
indulgent love made Kelly into the domineering person that she was today. In the past, no matter how domineering she was, she
had no fear at all, but now she was no longer the Parker Family's real daughter, so could she still be this domineering?
"You can ask Kendall to accompany you tonight and get her drunk as well, but you're not allowed to touch her. We'll let someone
else sleep with her, and you can show up when it's over. When she wakes up, let her see you coming out of the bathroom, and
it'll be enough. You don't need to bother with anything else. She'll naturally assume that she slept with you."
Kelly asked, "Jackson, what do you think about my idea?"
This way, Jackson would not need to sleep with Kendall, but the plan would still succeed.
Jackson thought it was a pretty good idea, so he chuckled and said, "Kelly, you're so smart. We'll do just as you say. I told my
client to meet me at Hotel Whittle, so it'll be convenient for me to arrange everything."
"You're not allowed to sleep with her, or else, I'll make you pay," Kelly warned him once more.
"Kelly, now that we have a better idea, I'm definitely not going to do anything to betray you. Don't worry. I'm yours, and I'll always
be yours," Jackson promised. "Just wait for my good news."
"I'll be done soon, and when I'm done, I'll go over to Hotel Whittle and wait for you. I won't be able to be at ease until I see you."
Jackson laughed and said adoringly, "Okay, you can keep an eye on us in secret."
Kelly was domineering, but he liked that about her because it meant that she loved him a lot.

Jackson's pride swelled.
Even an accomplished woman like Kelly was so deeply in love with him, so he was absolutely certain that he could handle a
country bumpkin like Kendall!
...
When Kendall exited the bathroom after washing her hair, she saw Dylan sitting on her bed. He had picked up the framed photo
on her bedside table and was studying it closely. It was a picture of her with her adopted family.
When she left her adopted parents' house, her real mother refused to let her take anything with her, saying that they would buy
new ones instead. In the end, she only brought this picture with her.
"Dylan, why aren't you resting?"
Dylan set the frame back down in its place and looked up at her. When he saw her soaking strands of hair, he frowned and said,
"Don't you know how to dry your hair with a towel?"
"It's fine. I'll just use a hairdryer and it'll dry out in no time."
Kendall went over to the hairdryer.
She glanced at Dylan and asked tentatively, "Dylan, do you think I could enjoy being waited upon by a handsome man?" She
held the hairdryer out to him. "Could you help me dry my hair?"
"I can't use my legs, but did you lose your arms?"
Kendall pouted, but she had already guessed that he would not agree to it. She withdrew her hands and began to dry her hair.
Dylan continued watching her in silence.
After two minutes, he pushed himself over in the wheelchair and reached out for the hairdryer.

Kendall turned it off and said, "Dylan, my hair's almost dried, so I won't trouble you. Why don't you head back to your room and
rest?"
"This is also my room."
Kendall laughed. "Oh please. You'll probably run off soon enough. I wonder what you're so shy about. You can't do that anymore,
so why are you afraid that I'll eat you up?"
Dylan glared at her. "You shouldn't talk like that."
"I didn't even use any curse words."
That shut Dylan up.
It was true that she only taunted him and didn't use any curse words.
He snatched the hairdryer away from her and grabbed the ends of her hair. Afraid that he might rip her hair out, she hurriedly
lowered her head as she said, "This better not be you trying to take revenge on me. I'm not forcing you to dry my hair for me."
"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you..."
Kendall's phone was ringing, and her newest ringtone echoed across the room.
