Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 15

After leaving L.E. Boutique, Kendall headed to other stores to purchase new clothes for her parents before returning home. When she arrived home, she was surprised to find Kelly's car parked outside the house in the open-space parking lot.

After Kendall got out of the car, the maid came over to help with Kendall's shopping bags. "Isn't my mom at home?" she asked the maid.

"Mrs. Parker went out to play poker with her friends. She told me that she's not coming back for dinner tonight," the maid replied.

Kendall nodded and walked toward the main hall while continuing to ask questions. "Why is Kelly back?" It was still office hours, so Kelly was supposed to be in the company.

Kelly was a responsible woman who often worked overtime and had her parents' complete trust.

Kendall knew that their parents had treated Kelly as the heir of the family from the very start. They had nurtured Kelly to shape her into an outstanding individual who would be capable of taking over the company. If Kendall hadn't been reborn, she wouldn't have guessed that Kelly had an evil heart lying beneath her excellent performance.

In Kendall's previous life, after her parents' sudden death, Kelly had taken over the Parker Corporation since Kendall didn't have the skills to do so. Back then, Kelly claimed their parents' will had made it clear that Kelly was to inherit the company.

Of course, Kendall didn't believe this, but at the same time, she had been trapped in a challenging position since she married the Whittle Family. The Whittle Family forced Kendall to stay home, and she

had to gain Jackson's approval before leaving the house. As a result, she didn't have the chance to investigate the validity of Kelly's words at all.

As Kendall recalled bits and pieces of her past, she felt herself burning with hatred for Kelly and Jackson. Yet, simultaneously, she despised herself for being too innocent and useless. Well, at least I was worthless enough to ruin my and my daughter's lives.

"I'm not sure about that. Ms. Kelly didn't seem too happy when she entered the house, so we were too afraid to ask her anything," the maid replied. Even though Kendall was the biological daughter of the Parker Family, the maids were still afraid of Kelly. Even though Kelly seemed more approachable, she was tough to get along with.

Kendall didn't continue questioning the maid after that. Instead, her secretary's eyes flickered with unease while following closely behind her.

Kelly was sitting on the couch, and she shot Kendall a cold glare when she saw Kendall walking in. Kendall entered the hall with a nonchalant look on her face, and she sat down on the couch as she started a casual conversation with Kelly. "Why are you home?"

"Kendall." Kelly took a deep breath as if she were trying to contain her anger. But, unfortunately, the cold look in her eyes had turned into one that seemed more like fury. "Did you purchase outfits at L.E. Boutique?" Kelly asked.

Kendall took the bag of clothes from the maid before thanking her. Then, when she heard Kelly's question, she turned to look at the woman. "What's wrong with buying my outfit from L.E. Boutique?"

"You bumped into Master Dylan there, didn't you?" Kelly continued to question Kendall as if she hadn't heard Kendall's words at all. "You've already offended Master Dylan a few times now. Do you want our entire family to follow you to the grave? Can't you tell that Master Dylan is annoyed at you? You should be staying away from him, not sticking your face into his. You shouldn't drag our family down even if you have a death wish!" Kelly hissed.

Kelly received a call from Cameron earlier, only to discover that Kendall had offended Dylan and the people at L.E. Boutique. Kelly was furious to hear this—she immediately dropped her work and sped back home to give Kendall a lecture. "You didn't even provide a sincere apology the last time I brought you over to apologize to Master Dylan. Didn't you learn your lesson after neglecting Master Dylan's words and making your own selfish decisions? Do you even have a brain? Is your head filled with air? I told you not to offend Master Dylan. Anyone who offends him will definitely regret it!"

Kelly was outraged over the fact that she had been dragged out of the Coleman Mansion. It was all Kendall's fault. Fortunately, the news hadn't gotten to the public. Otherwise, it would utterly ruin the flawless impression that Kelly had created for herself. I wouldn't say that I'm at the top of the hierarchy in a city as huge as Orapolis. There are way too many other successful entrepreneurs here. But at the very least, I'm still the precious princess in Parker Corporation, and everyone sucks up to me. They all know that I'm going to take over the company. I've never been shamed so badly until that incident! This is all because of Kendall!

Kendall's expression turned cold. "I arrived at L.E. Boutique first. Dylan was the one who showed up after that. How could you say that I was the one being a nuisance?"

"You know that Master Dylan doesn't like you. The shop manager told you to leave after that, but what did you do? You might have grown up in the countryside, but you've been here for over a year now, Kendall. Don't you know what you should do? You should be able to recognize the severity of the

situation back there, even if you're from the countryside. Are you an idiot?" Kelly hissed.

"Kelly!" Kendall was so furious that she threw her bags of clothes in Kelly's direction. It didn't hurt when it struck Kelly, of course. "Who are you to tell me what to do? Whatever I do to Dylan is my business. You can always leave if you're afraid of me dragging you down!" Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Kelly hadn't expected Kendall to throw the bags at her. Although it didn't hurt, it still infuriated her. Kelly shot to her feet before wagging a finger at Kendall. "I'm your elder sister, Kendall. You're not showing me respect, and you're even throwing stuff at me! How dare you tell me to leave! Do you think you have the right to chase me out just because you're Mom and Dad's biological daughter? You have no right to do that!"

"You're scolding me because I happened to bump into Master Dylan. Why should I respect you for that? Why should I please you right after you scolded me for such a thing? Who do you think you are, Kelly?" The crazy woman's words triggered Kendall. She knew that she would have to chase Kelly out eventually, but the time wasn't right yet. First, she wanted to slowly regain everything that Kelly had taken from the Parker Family. Then, she would chase Kelly out when she was already the clear winner in the situation. That would feel more satisfying.

Kendall's response made Kelly even angrier than before. In the past, Kendall used to be a polite and sweet sister. Besides, Kelly had already established her ground in the Parker Corporation after spending the past 25 years of her life with their parents, and Kendall respected that.

However, Kendall had stopped pleasing Kelly since the Coleman Family's bodyguard sent Kendall home.

Kelly was kind enough to prepare some porridge for Kendall after that. However, Kendall didn't just skip

dinner—she even snipped off some of the flowers that Kelly had been growing. When Kelly saw the full glasses of warm milk on the table, she picked up one of the steaming hot cups to splash it at Kendall.

Kendall managed to doge the milk, but there were still splashes of it on her clothes. Kendall was furious to see the stains on her clothes, so she stormed over to Kelly before slapping her across the face harshly. Smack! The slap landed heavily on Kelly's face.

Kelly could feel her face burning as she stared at Kendall in disbelief. Cameron, who had been standing by the door, was just as shocked by what happened. I can't believe Kendall just hit someone as powerful and feisty as the vice president, Cameron thought.

"How dare you hit me, Kendall!" Kelly screamed at the top of her lungs before she charged forward to slap Kendall back. However, Kendall managed to dodge Kelly in time, which only made Kelly more furious than before. Kelly ran and threw herself toward Kendall, but Kendall simply sent a flying kick in Kelly's direction. Kelly landed on the couch.

"It's been so long since I fought anyone. My kicking skills are rusty," Kendall said to herself. Kelly glared at the other woman with her rage-filled eyes. I hate this stupid countryside woman. She kicked me in the stomach, and it hurts so bad!

Kendall lowered her leg before gazing at Kelly with a rather amused look on her face. "You should know that I used to run an extracurricular training center. When the teachers were occupied, I would have to step in to replace the classes. So, I've learned everything—martial arts, combat skills, piano, chess, and so on. I'm pretty good at whatever I've learned."
