Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 523

Chapter 523

"That's all for now. You can get back to work. Kelly should be looking for you soon."

Adam was in an extremely good mood as he drank the coffee Kendall made for him. Though he would be in an even better mood if Kendall and Kelly could get along harmoniously. Although I'm now starting to train Kendall to succeed me, I have never thought of mistreating Kelly. However, as Charlotte says, Kelly won't be satisfied with the over 100 million worth of inheritance.

What Kelly truly wanted was the entire Parker Corporation. Adam did think of handing over Parker Corporation to Kelly before he discovered she wasn't his biological daughter. After all, she was his only daughter back then. But after he found out about the child-swapping incident and learned that Kendall had become sensible and was willing to learn, he began to have a change of heart. And his feelings only grew more intense after he found out more about the disappointing things Kelly did later.

Even so, he still planned to proceed with the initial plan of distributing over 100 million worth of inheritance to Kelly in the future. After all, they had been father and daughter for more than twenty years. No matter how disappointed he was with her, he still cared for her and regarded her as his own family.

"Understood. I'm heading out to do my task first." With that, Kendall turned around and left.

"By the way, you should treat Master Dylan a little nicer."

After hearing that, Kendall said, "Daddy, am I not treating Dylan nice enough? Other dads are usually afraid that their sons-in-law will mistreat their daughters, yet here you are, being the complete opposite.

Why do you make it sound like I'm tormenting Dylan regularly?"

Adam chuckled. "I just think that Master Dylan put in a lot more effort than you into this relationship. Hence, you must be understanding of him and cherish this blessing that was bestowed upon you. Master Dylan loves you dearly. The happiest thing that happened in my life is none other than having such an outstanding son-in-law like Master Dylan."

"No, you should put it this way. It's because you have such an excellent daughter like me that you get to have an outstanding son-in-law like Dylan," Kendall said.

"How shameless!"

Feeling speechless, Kendall replied, "Like father, like daughter!"

Adam smiled and said, "Like father, like daughter indeed."

"I'm off to work." Kendall couldn't be bothered to bicker with Adam. Thus, she went out to carry out her tasks.

Meanwhile, Adam happily finished his coffee before he got up, returned to his desk, and started getting busy.

As soon as Kendall came out from Adam's office and returned to her own office, Jessie said to her, "Kendall, Vice President Parker's secretary called and said that there's something Vice President Parker wants to discuss with you. She asked you to meet her in her office."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Miss Holmes."

Without even having the chance to return to her seat, Kendall turned around and left the office once again. She went downstairs to meet Kelly.

After Cameron left, Kelly didn't select a secretary from the company anymore. Instead, she requested the Human Resources Department to hire a new secretary. The new secretary's name was Roxena Quincy.

As soon as Roxena was hired by Parker Corporation, she first dug deep into the situation in the company. After learning about Kelly and Kendall's relationship as well as what Cameron did that resulted in her forced resignation, Roxena did not give Kendall, who was still a small-time assistant, any attitude. She was respectful to Kendall, but she didn't particularly curry favor with Kendall either. After all, she was Kelly's secretary. And since work ethics could impact her future in the company, Roxena knew very well that a professional work ethic was a must for her if she wanted to continue working under Kelly to support herself.

Roxena led Kendall to Kelly's office and knocked on the door for Kendall. After receiving a response, she pushed the door open, walked in, and informed Kelly, "Vice President Parker, Miss Parker is here."

"Got it. Let her come in by herself." Kelly didn't even raise her head.

Kendall entered and gestured for Roxena to go ahead with her tasks. After Roxena went out, Kendall walked over and sat down opposite Kelly.

Kelly had lost some weight. Today, she had worn heavy makeup that made her look in good spirits.

"It's better to put on less makeup when you're pregnant," Kendall said lightly. "Since you plan to keep the baby, you must treat him well. What if your habits now result in him having complications at birth and bring him misery for the rest of his life? If you insist on carrying out your skincare routine, you can use skincare products that are specifically formulated for pregnant women. That way, it won't bring harm to the fetus."

At that, Kelly looked up. Like she wanted to see through Kendall, she looked straight at the latter with her beautiful eyes. "Considering you have never become a mother, the words you said sounded rather clear and logical. What's the matter? Did you learn about this knowledge before because you were preparing for your future pregnancy?"

Kendall smiled and explained, "There are so many married women in our company. You will know a thing or two if you listen to their conversation on normal days. With them around, do I still need to deliberately learn more about it?"

After a moment of silence, Kelly said, "Do you usually mingle with them?"

However, before Kendall could answer, she added sarcastically, "Come to think of it, how can you possibly have time to mingle with them? You always have so many things to do. You were either applying for leaves or attending social gatherings with Daddy. You should consider having a baby now that you and Master Dylan have gotten married for so long. Most of the women who marry into wealthy families rely on giving birth to a son to consolidate their status in the family."

Kendall retorted, "Do you think Mom needs to give birth to a son to consolidate her status in the family? It solely depends on whether the man she married is a responsible man or not. If you marry a good husband, he will bear the pressure on his shoulders and continue living life with you for eternity even if you don't give birth to a son. On the contrary, if you marry an irresponsible husband, he will still flirt

around with other women outside even if you give birth to many sons. Oh, by the way, the Coleman Family isn't enthusiastic about having male heirs. I will only be well-loved if I give birth to a daughter, for they are fonder of the idea of having heiresses. Hence, I'm not pressured to give birth to a son, but a daughter instead."

Kelly's heart was filled with jealousy when she heard Kendall's words. As expected, comparisons are odious! Kendall is right. The Coleman Family is very fond of female heirs since they've had plenty of male heirs and no heiresses for the last five generations. Unlike Mrs. Whittle, she constantly said she hoped that the baby in my belly would be a son whenever she talked to me about the baby. Through this, I can tell that Mrs. Whittle prefers a son more than a daughter.

Even though Kelly and Jackson were in love before, she eventually didn't marry into the Whittle Family. At the same time, she was also glad that Jackson chose to sacrifice their relationship for the good of the Whittle Family and married Krystal. Thanks to this, she didn't have to get along with Rosemi, a mother-in-law who would keep demanding a grandson and would force her daughter-in-law to keep conceiving until she was able to give birth to a son.

Speaking of which, I heard that Mrs. Whittle doesn't treat Krystal very well. Then again, Krystal can forget about staying innocent either when she handed the fire extinguisher to Jackson even though she knew that it could kill someone. Now, the Whittle Family and the Caddel Family quarrel with each other so much that they almost turn into enemies. The Whittles blame the Caddels and vice versa. If I must say, this is simply Jackson and the Whittle Family's karma.

Kelly completely disregarded her feelings for Jackson after she submitted herself to Brian. Although Jacqueline prohibited Kelly from getting together with Brian, the latter had deep affections for her. Therefore, the two of them still secretly kept in touch with each other behind Jacqueline's back. Kelly only kept the baby because she thought it was her flesh and blood. With my capability, I can give birth

to my baby and raise him as a single mother. As for Brian's promise of taking good care of the baby, I don't believe him even in the slightest. Mrs. Zorn hates me so much. I might not have the chance to marry Brian, let alone ask him to take care of the baby. We're just partners who each gain what we need from each other. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Is there something you wish to discuss with me?" Kendall changed the topic and got back to business.

Many things changed because of her reincarnation. However, Kelly's pregnancy wasn't affected by her reincarnation. And even after going through so many incidents, Kelly still chose to keep the baby. It was like everything was destined, and they wouldn't change because of her reincarnation. Realizing this, Kendall thought, Since Kelly is pregnant now, will I be pregnant too?

Kelly took out a stack of business cards and documents. Then, she pushed those business cards and documents right up to Kendall.

"I have too many business deals that I need to follow up and negotiate with recently. These are some of our company's minor clients. I will let you deal with them. Take it as your training."
