Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 671

Chapter 671 Too Late For Regrets

Charlotte was getting too agitated. Kendall and Dylan quickly held her up. Back when Kendall first came back to the Parkers, her parents would have split the inheritance between the two of them. After the rebirth, she knew Kelly had been planning to take over the company ever since she came back. She slowly plotted and made her parents disappointed in Kelly, but despite their disappointment, the Parkers still left Kelly with a ten-million-dollar inheritance. They loved Kelly.

Charlotte kept hitting Kelly, and she didn't fight back, though she did cry harder. Back when she knew she was switched at birth, the Parkers did tell her they would still see her as their own, and they would treat her fairly. She didn't believe them.

She was worried they might favor Kendall more because now Kelly wasn't their real daughter. Yet for the past twenty years or so, she was raised to be the family's heir, and she thought everything the Parkers had was rightfully hers. She didn't want to give them all to Kendall.

When she found out Kendall fell for Jackson, she worked with him in an attempt to sabotage Kendall. When the Colemans came to ask for Kendall's hand in marriage, she was the one who told Kendall to harm herself to reject the wedding. That way, she would cross Dylan and disappoint her parents. Every time the Parkers told her to take Kendall to any event, she would do it, but she would excuse herself so the other arrogant rich ladies would mock Kendall.

Her plan worked at first. Slowly but surely, Kendall was falling for their trap, but ever since she harmed herself, everything changed. When she came back, it felt like her life had gotten unbelievably smooth, while bad luck followed her and Jackson. Now, both of them were criminals, and she was all but sure to be on death row.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" She kept banging her head on the ground, crying, yet it was too late for regrets.

Adam took his agitated wife outside.

Kelly kept banging her head on the ground until her forehead was swollen, and she continued sobbing while lying on the floor. She crawled over to the Woodses and raised her head, only to see a crying Sally. Through sobs, she said, "I never wanted to hurt you. I didn't know you were in the car…"

Sally gave her a slap, and her cheek swelled. "I gave birth to you, and Charlotte raised you up. They gave their all to you, and yet you tried to kill them? Oh, you didn't want to hurt us? You didn't know we were in the car? Should we thank you for that?" She slapped her again. "You're insane."

Sally couldn't believe Kelly would say that at this point and lost all hope in her daughter.

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, I'm really, really sorry!"

Through sobs, Sally said, "And? What good will that make? You're twenty-six. You're educated and have a great job. You should know better than to do this. There are some mistakes you can come back from, but what you did is unforgivable. Kelly, you…" Sally clutched her chest. She couldn't even begin to describe the pain she was feeling in her heart.

"Mom!" Nelson and Roger quickly held their mother and glared at Kelly. They said, "Let's leave, Mom." Or else she's going to be even angrier.

Kelly banged her head on the ground, then she called Milo, "Dad." Milo said nothing to that. Nelson and Roger took their mother and left, while Milo stared at Kelly in silence for the longest time. In the end, he too left without saying a word.

Dylan and Kendall said nothing during the whole encounter. They turned around to leave as well.

"Kendall," Kelly blurted.

Kendall stopped, but she didn't turn around.

Kelly got up and wiped her tears. Hoarsely, she said, "I'd like to talk to you alone, Kendall." She stared at the cop standing at the doorway.

Kendall turned around. She noticed Kelly staring at the cop and Dylan, so she said, "Honey, wait for me outside. I'll talk to her alone." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Dylan grunted. "Tell me if you need anything."

Kendall patted his hand. "I'll be fine." Even without Dylan, Kelly still was no match for her.

After repeated pleadings, the cop eventually left the room and closed the door.

Kendall approached Kelly and dragged a chair over. She then sat down and stared at the disheveled Kelly. Coolly, she said, "What do you want?"

Kelly turned to look at her. Kendall was beautiful, gorgeous, and elegant—nothing like how she was when she first came back to the Parkers. A hint of hatred filled her heart, but that hatred turned into a bitter smile. There was no longer a need for hatred. That jealousy of hers was the very thing that drove her to this situation.

She slowly went up to Kendall, stopped right before her, and stared into her eyes. Kendall let her stare, unfazed and calm. "Are you really Kendall?" asked Kelly hoarsely.

A smile curled Kendall's lip. "Who else am I if not her?"

"I don't think you're her. You must be someone else pretending to be her. You're a fraud. The real Kendall can't be this smart or scheming. The real Kendall knows how to fight, but she's naive to a fault."

Kendall sneered. "Yeah, she is. That's why she believes everyone, including those who'd stab her in the back."

"So, you're confessing now?" Kelly asked, "Who are you? Why did you do this to me? Look at me. I'm a sorry excuse for a human. Are you happy now?"

Kendall smirked. "You should know if I'm the real Kendall or not. You kept egging Mom into doing the maternity test, and you saw the results. I didn't tamper with it. If I wasn't real, don't you think Dad and Mom would come after me?"

"You knew? Of course, you knew. You have Dylan. He must've helped you." Kelly chuckled bitterly. Because of Dylan, Kelly's plans were derailed.
