Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 420

"Kendall, can we talk?"

Kendall watched Rosemi with eyes of scrutiny. Ever since Jackson was taken to custody upon hurting Nelson, Rosemi

did not sleep a wink. Judging from her haggard visage, she probably had been crying her eyes out since they were

red and puffy like peaches.

Not feeling an ounce of pity, Kendall answered coldly, "We have nothing to talk about, Mrs. Whittle."

Why should I? My brother is still in the ICU.

Having said that, she bypassed Rosemi.

"Kendall." Rosemi grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving, but she swung it off as though it was poisonous.

"Kendall, I know what Jackson did is wrong, but it's not entirely on him. We consulted with the police about the

whole incident. Your brother started it first, and Jackson was only defending himself."

Kendall sniggered. "Who told you that it was self-defense?"

Rosemi was not the only one who consulted with the police about the entirety of the incident, Kendall did too. It was

true that Nelson flung the first punch, but Jackson countered too. It was literally a fist fight since they fought with

their bare hands.

However, when Krystal struck Nelson's head with the fire extinguisher, the pain had stopped him from attacking

Jackson. And Jackson had seized the chance to pounce on Nelson, after which he snatched the fire extinguisher

from her before whacking Nelson with it.

Had Nelson not protected his head with his hands out of reflex, he could have died on scene because of Jackson.

Despite that, Nelson was seriously injured and his life was still in danger as of now.

It was no longer self-defense on Jackson's part; it was an intentional tort and he should face the legal

consequences. Even if Kendall wished to get rid of him, she would never kick him when he was down. Still, he

should bear the responsibility and face the punishment!

Rosemi gulped, but she soon added, "Kendall, we'll compensate for everything. We'll pay your brother's hospital

bills. So, please forgive Jackson. Don't sue him. He's still young. His future shouldn't be ruined because of this.

Seeing that you've dated each other for a year, can't you bring yourself to forgive him? I'm begging you! Please tell

Master Dylan not to kill Jackson. Jackson knows that he's wrong. I'm sure he didn't do that to your brother on

purpose. Your brother hit him first, so he made a big mistake unconsciously."

Kendall's face darkened as she growled, "Mind your language, Mrs. Whittle! Since when does Dylan want your son

dead? It has nothing to do with Dylan at all! Look at how my brother ended up because of Jackson. How dare you

want us to let him get away with it! What do you take my brother's life and the law for? Jackson should bear the

consequences of his actions. Don't even think of running away from it. We do things overtly, and we're protecting

our own safety rights. If the Whittles thinks that we're going overboard, you may get Jackson a lawyer. We shall

meet each other in the court."

Kendall had received another tug in the arm from Rosemi, but she flung it off once again. "Kendall, please. Please

issue a letter of understanding to lighten Jackson's sentence. We'll be very grateful to you. Nelson isn't your

biological brother either. The blood running in him isn't the same as yours, but Jackson is your ex-boyfriend—"

"Keep your dignity, Mrs. Whittle." Rosemi's shameless acts almost had Kendall laughing. To think that she would

assume that Jackson had more importance than Nelson to Kendall.

I wonder which part of Jackson is better than Nell.

"Nell is my brother and he will always be! Jackson is a complete loser. A scumbag like him doesn't deserve to be

mentioned next to my brother's name! And what? Ex-boyfriend? I seriously hate myself for being blind back then. I

even wished that I never knew him in the first place!"

If it were not for Jackson and Kelly, she would not have ended up so miserably in her past life. Even if part of it was

her fault, they were the main cause for everything.

"Mrs. Whittle, I'm telling you. I will never write a letter of understanding unless pigs fly. Please call the security

guards to bring her out." Not wanting to deal with Rosemi any longer, Kendall informed the receptionist to call the

security guards.

"Kendall, please." Rosemi clasped tightly onto Kendall's hand. No matter how Kendall tried to shrug her off, she

would not let go as she cried, "Kendall, I know that it's all Jackson's fault. He's wrong, but he only acted rashly at the

spur of the moment. If your brother didn't find him in the first place, such accidents wouldn't have happened!

Kendall, please! Please show him mercy. I'll get on my knees for you."

Just as Rosemi was going to kneel, Kendall raised her hand and bit Rosemi's hand, causing Rosemi to wail in pain

and let go of her instinctively.

"Even if you kneel until the day ends, I will never issue the letter! Jackson beat Nell to a pulp and he's still in the ICU.

How dare you come beg me to have mercy on Jackson! Whether he's Jackson or a jack*ss, he ain't more important

than my brother. Get her out of here at this instant!" ordered Kendall to the security guards, who arrived at the

scene.

"Kendall. Kendall Parker!" Two security guards dragged her as she attempted to wriggle free from their clasp, but it

was all in vain. Eventually, she was hauled out of the building.

In the meantime, Kendall went upstairs without turning her head. Despite starting her day with a good mood

because of Dylan, Rosemi totally rained on her parade.

After being driven away, Rosemi wailed at the entrance for a while before leaving in grievance. When she arrived

home, her husband was nowhere to be seen and so she asked the maids, "Where is President Whittle?"

"He went to work."

Rosemi's hackles raised immediately. "His son is in trouble, and yet he's off to work? Work, work, work. Is work that

important? If it wasn't for the company, my boy wouldn't have to sacrifice so much and end up like this."

The person her son loved had always been Kendall. However, he kept making mistakes and finally sacrificed his

marriage life by marrying the woman he did not love just for the company's sake. Yet, after going through a series

of trouble, her son was now dragged away by the police!

The maids stood aside and kept their mouths shut. Madam is in a bad mood.

After scolding her husband, Rosemi started raving about Kendall, "And that country bumpkin. How dare she treat

me that way just because she married someone of higher status?! Let's see how far she can go. I wonder how long

she can stay as a 'widow'. That stupid bumpkin, b*tch! My son is like this because of her and her sister! I have even

condescended myself and pleaded with her, but she doesn't budge at all! That b*tch!"

The maids hung their heads low as they dared not respond to the acrimonious statement.

She's weird. Whether she condescends herself or not, it’s still up to others to decide if they want to accept her pleas

or not, isn't it?
