Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 103

Kelly smiled and said, "Mom, I'm on good terms with Yasmine. She won't make a fuss."

Still, she went to fetch her exquisite wallet and stuffed her phone in it.

Charlotte smiled and kept quiet.

However, she had her own thoughts.

Kelly had taken Kendall's place and received the best education since young. She lived a luxurious life and was better than Kendall in every aspect.

Now, Kendall could only befriend people like Amelia, but Kelly could be best friends with one of the people with the highest net worth in Orapolis, Yasmine.

Charlotte found it unfair. If Kelly and Kendall were still close to each other like they had been last year, Charlotte would simply rest assured. However, now that she knew Kelly was trying to plot against Kendall in every possible way, she couldn't bear it.

She had her own reasons for agreeing to Kendall's suggestion to give Kelly the Cartier necklace so that Kelly could wear it to the banquet.

Kendall didn't know about it, so she must have offered it out of tolerance.

But now, Charlotte understood something.

When Charlotte chose the necklace in the first place, Yasmine also had her eyes on the same necklace. The former had bought it first, so even though Yasmine didn't say anything, the dissatisfaction was clear in her expression.

Yasmine had been spoiled by her family, for she always got what she wanted. No matter how much that necklace cost, she would try to get her hands on it as long as it was something she liked. If she couldn't get it, she wouldn't forget about it so easily.

What would she think when she saw Kelly wearing the necklace she wanted but couldn't get?

Meanwhile, when Kelly saw Kendall all decked out, she was shocked. She never thought that this country bumpkin would look so stunning after putting on an elegant evening dress.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?"

Kendall mischievously asked Kelly on purpose.

"No, it's because you're too pretty—even I am shaken by your beauty. Kendall, you should dress up more often. You are quite decent in many ways, but you're too mindless with your clothing. Mom and I give you so many branded clothes, but you never wear them."

Smiling, Kelly took Kendall's hand. "Look at you now; you look so amazing! If anyone calls you a country bumpkin tonight, I'll tear their mouths open!"

Kendall snorted deep down. When others called Kendall a country bumpkin, Kelly would only feign

ignorance and stand far away from her, allowing the others to keep insulting her.

She had always trusted Kelly in her past life, but she eventually met a tragic ending.

This time, Kelly would never have the chance to hurt her with others' hands.

"Let's go."

After Kelly praised Kendall, she took the latter's hand to lead her downstairs. However, Kendall retracted her hand. She didn't look forceful at all as she calmly and proudly descended the stairs.

Since they were both wearing evening dresses and high heels, they didn't drive the car themselves. The Parkers' driver was in charge of taking the sisters to Zorn Mansion to attend the banquet.

Yasmine's birthday banquet was held there. Zorn Mansion, much like Coleman Mansion, took up a large plot of land. Despite the countless famous figures in the business field throughout Orapolis who had been invited, it didn't feel cramped at all since it was being held there.

Zorn Holdings owned an entertainment company. To celebrate the precious Yasmine's birthday, the Zorns arranged for several famous singers to join the festivities, and they would be performing on stage as well.

As the star of the show tonight, Yasmine hadn't made her appearance yet. She was still picking out an evening dress in her room.

She went to Laura's store to fetch some of the dresses she had picked out beforehand. Every dress was beautiful, and she thought herself absolutely stunning in every single one of them. She couldn't choose as every dress was valid.

At that moment, Brian knocked on the door and went in.

He was the fourth son of the Zorn Family, Yasmine's biological elder twin brother, and also the vice president of Zorn Holdings.

"Yasmine, you haven't changed into your dress yet. The guests are filling up the place. You can't hide in the room forever."

When Brian saw that his sister hadn't changed into her dress, he was exasperated as he said, "Are you dissatisfied with the dresses? Shall I ask someone from Laura's store to deliver more pieces?"

"Brian, you're just in time. Come and help me decide which dress to wear. I want to be absolutely stunning and become the center of attention."

Yasmine dragged Brain forward and asked him to help her make the choice.

"You don't know which one to choose, eh?"

Brian smiled as he said, "No matter what clothes you wear, you'll be absolutely stunning. You'd even become the center of attention."

Still, he picked out a dress for her. "Yasmine, why don't you wear this one?"

"Alright."

Yasmine trusted her brother's judgment and happily took the dress with her to change.

When she emerged after changing, Brian whistled a few times and praised, "My dear sister looks amazing. I'll have to stay with you tonight so that I can be your guard and ward off your admirers."

Yasmine blushed. "Brian, stop pulling my leg."

Her birthday banquet was held so grandly because it also doubled as an event for her to choose a suitable husband.

She had liked Dylan before and kept pursuing him. Even though Dylan never responded to her pursuits, her family allowed her to continue in her efforts, and they even helped create opportunities for her to be alone with Dylan, hoping that they could have a union with the Colemans.

Unfortunately, something happened to Dylan, and he immediately fell from heaven into hell.

To a man, the inability to make children was the same as ending up in hell.

Yasmine still couldn't let go of her feelings for Dylan, but she refused to marry him and be childless her whole life. When she knew that Dylan gave Kendall special treatment, she went mad with jealousy. However, she still allowed her family to make arrangements for her. That way, she might be able to pick a good young man from the upper-class society of Orapolis during the banquet tonight.

She could probably find someone on par with Dylan.

Perhaps it could be someone like the head of the Mendelson Family, Frank Mendelson.

As soon as Dylan met with that incident, Yasmine had her eyes on Frank. However, that man was similar to Dylan in more ways than one—he was terribly difficult to get close to.

Fortunately, Frank was attending her birthday banquet tonight.

"Brian, do you think Dylan will come?"

Yasmine asked expectantly.

"Yasmine, with Dylan like that, you should stop thinking about him. Who cares if he turns up or not? If he's here, are you going to stay with him the whole night? He cannot give you happiness anymore, so just forget about him as soon as you can."

Brian fell silent for a bit, then added, "Dylan won't be here. He never liked attending banquets in the past, much less now."

Yasmine was extremely disappointed.

She was greedy; she had her eyes on Frank, but she couldn't let go of Dylan either.

It would be best if she could have both men. Even though Dylan was lacking, Yasmine would still gladly gaze at and admire his face.

"Yasmine, Frank will be here. It's a rare chance, so don't let this opportunity go to waste."

The Mendelsons and the Colemans were sworn rivals. Even though the Zorns weren't involved in the war between the two companies, due to Yasmine's liking toward Dylan, the Zorns were slightly more supportive of the Colemans.

This time, when they invited Frank to Yasmine's birthday banquet, it was a sign of goodwill toward the Mendelsons. Frank had accepted the invitation, so it was the beginning of a partnership between the two companies.

Yasmine blushed. "Brian, stop pulling my leg."

Her birthday banquet was held so grandly because it also doubled as an event for her to choose a suitable husband.
