Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 104

Of course, the Zorns were cunning enough. They would never really partner with the Mendelsons before Yasmine truly married into the Mendelson Family.

They had to secure an escape route, after all.

"I got it, Brian."

Yasmine nodded, then smiled as she said, "Brian, I need to put on makeup as well, so you can go downstairs first. Please tell me if Kelly has arrived or not."

Brian said, "There are so many people welcoming the guests, so why should I go to the door to wait for her personally?"

Despite that, he was already turning around and getting ready to walk out.

"You're so stubborn with your words! Be careful, for someone might come in and swoop Kelly away. I think she's getting along well with Jackson. She knew him first, and they've known each other for a few years. You have to work harder, Brian! First, you have to confess to her so that she knows you like her."

Brian said confidently, "As long as I have my eyes on someone, I will never allow them to be snatched away from me unless I let go first. Jackson?"

Brian said mockingly, "Only a country bumpkin like Kendall would fall for someone like Jackson. Kelly is a proud and intelligent woman. She, of all people, wouldn't like Jackson at all."

His position and status were also higher than Jackson's, and he looked decent as well. If he confessed to Kelly, the latter would definitely agree to date him.

"Of course, you're the best. Now go and wait for your future wife."

Yasmine joked with Brian for a bit, then focused her attention on applying makeup.

The sisters from the Parker Family didn't talk much on their way there. When they had almost reached Zorn Mansion, Kelly finally asked, "Kendall, what present did you prepare for Yasmine?"

Kendall looked at the gift Kelly had placed next to her, then lifted the makeup kit she prepared beforehand and answered, "I don't know what presents Miss Zorn likes, so I got her a makeup kit. Women love makeup, so I can't go wrong with that."

Hearing that, Kelly allowed a mocking look to flash across her eyes as she smiled. "Yes, girls usually love makeup and skincare products. You're safe."

"We've arrived at Zorn Mansion, ladies. However, there are too many cars, and we have to queue up to enter."

The driver suddenly spoke to the two women in the backseat.

Kelly rolled down the windows to peer at the entrance of Zorn Mansion. The gates were wide open, but only two cars could go through at a time. There were too many guests tonight, so they had to line up. Still, the Zorns' security guards were giving directions at the entrance, so they shouldn't have to wait for

long.

Soon, it was time for the Parkers' car to drive in. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The open-air car park in the yard of Zorn Mansion was huge, so there was enough space for all guests to park their cars.

Kendall coldly watched this scene.

In her past life, she didn't live in the Coleman Mansion, so she didn't know how huge the mansion really was. Hence, when she followed Kelly here, she was taken aback at the sight and gasped at how large Zorn Mansion was.

Kelly had mocked her for her ignorance, saying that she had seen too little of this world.

The car had just parked properly when Kendall saw a tall and strong man in a tuxedo walking toward them.

"Kelly."

Brian strode over and opened the car door for Kelly, smiling as he said, "You're finally here. Yasmine has been waiting for you."

"I'm not late, am I, Brian?"

To Brian, Kelly was a real lady. She spoke softly and smiled a perfect smile, which wasn't too overbearing at all.

Meanwhile, Kendall opened the car door and got out on her own.

As she glanced at Brian, she saw that he only had eyes for Kelly, so she knew that this man was one of Kelly's admirers.

She wondered what Kelly in her past life was thinking. The girl had ignored such a good man and chose to be Jackson's lover instead. Did Kelly do that just to offend Kendall even more?

Kendall looked around her. With her gift in hand, she quietly walked over to Kelly and waited for her sister to end the conversation with Brian.

When Brian saw Kendall walking over to them, he glanced at her. This glance took her by surprise.

He liked Kelly, so he had naturally met Kendall before. According to what he remembered, Kendall was pretty, but she was also quite plain; she wouldn't look like royalty even if she wore a crown. However, when he met her again tonight, Kendall had a sort of aura around her that was stately and elegant.

"You're here too, Miss Kendall."

Brian was still quite gentlemanly as he gave Kendall a courteous nod.

Kendall smiled back, but she stayed silent.

"I heard that you're working as a servant in the Coleman Family. Are you Dylan's free maid?"

Right when Kendall thought this man was a little gentlemanly, his next words ruined his image once

again.

Kendall smiled and questioned, "Do I not have the right to attend the Zorns' banquet simply because I'm now Dylan's servant?"

"Of course not. I was just wondering why you'd become his free maid all of a sudden."

Kendall looked at Brian with a half-smile, and when Brian began to feel a little awkward, she replied, "You already know the answer, so why are you feigning ignorance? Are you trying to put me to shame by asking me about this right here? Look, so many guests are parking and getting out of their cars here. They can all hear your question."

She continued, "This is how the Zorn Family treats their guests, eh? How wonderful!"

Her words were, of course, filled with sarcasm.

Brian's gaze darkened a little as he looked at Kendall. It hadn't been that long since he last met her, but she had changed considerably.

This country bumpkin actually dared to mock him about how he treated his guests on his own turf.

On the surface, however, he smiled apologetically. "I was just curious, Miss Kendall. I didn't mean any harm by that. If I have offended you in any way, I'll apologize."

Kendall straightened herself. "Well, you can apologize to me now."

Brian was speechless.

"Kendall."

Kelly hastily intervened and said, "Brian was just curious. He didn't have any ill intentions."

"Yasmine is inside, right, Brian? Take me inside to have a look at our birthday girl. I want to see how beautiful she is."

Kelly intended to smooth things over so that Brian wouldn't have to apologize to Kendall in public.

"You offended someone and said that you'll apologize, but you didn't. Your way of treating guests is really something."

A cold voice suddenly interrupted them.

Everyone turned around to look.

It was the head of the Mendelson Family, and he had just gotten out of his car.

No matter where Frank went, there were always people around him. He commanded a larger crowd than Dylan, for the latter had an extra few guards with him only when he had trouble moving around.

Heavily guarded, Frank strode over to them.

In a very natural manner, he stood next to Kendall and faced Brian and Kelly. However, he didn't spare a glance at Kendall, staring at Brian as he said, "I don't like meddling in others' businesses, but I think you're a shame to all men, Mr. Brian."

Brian was at a loss for words.

Frank was, in fact, meddling in others' businesses right now.

Brian quickly smiled and said, "It's my fault."

He apologized solemnly to Kendall, saying, "Miss Kendall, I apologize for what I said to you just now. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I'm a very merciful person, so since you've apologized, I'll forgive you and won't hold it against you."

Brian almost choked.
