Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 164

Prestige Electronics was located in Orapolis' top industrial zone, which was on the outskirts and far

from the city. Cameron drove for half an hour before they finally arrived. There were many companies

in the industrial zone, and as Prestige Electronics was one of Coleman Empire Holdings' subsidiaries, it

was quite large in size. The company was in the innermost part of the top industrial zone and occupied

the most space and spanned over several factories with more than 5,000 employees, while the General

Manager of the company was Leonel.

Although Leonel had not yet been promoted to Coleman Empire Holdings' headquarters, his

extraordinary ability had won their acknowledgment. Since the headquarters allowed him to lead

Prestige Electronics, he called the shots on everything and was in charge of all major matters. Hence,

he had the final say of who he wanted to cooperate with.

Prestige Electronics had an increase in order, and they did require a lot of circuit boards. As their

supplier could not meet their demand even if they hired more staff, Prestige Electronics was forced to

consider working with several manufacturers. However, before he started to consider who he should

cooperate with, Toddy, the General Secretary, began to hint at something. Leonel was smart enough to

gain ultimate power in Prestige Electronics, so he knew that the headquarters was playing the long

game. However, he didn't know what it was.

In private, Leonel had asked Toddy what instructions he had received from the higher-ups, but Toddy

only asked him to handle it normally without any under-the-counter deals. As long as the quality was

good, the delivery speed was fast, and the price was reasonable, they could agree on a long-term

cooperation. With Toddy's words, Leonel was able to relax.

During the past two days, many circuit board manufacturers had come to them to discuss cooperation

with Prestige. Hence, when he received a call from his secretary saying that Kelly, the Vice President of

Parker Corporation, was here, Leonel didn't think twice before he asked his secretary to bring them in.

If they had to talk about the most powerful and largest circuit board manufacturer in Orapolis, it had to

be Parker Corporation, but they had been developing in other industries in recent years.

A few minutes passed.

"Good morning, Mr. Dawson."

Kelly brought Kendall and Cameron into Leonel's general manager's office. She deliberately took larger

strides so that she could leave Kendall and Cameron behind her, creating the illusion that she was the

leader. And in fact, it did look like that. Kendall was only here to gain experience and knowledge in the

business field.

"Good morning, Vice President Parker." Leonel got up and walked around his desk to greet the three of

them. He first shook hands with Kelly.

He had long heard that the successor of the Parker Corporation was a great beauty, and now that he

had seen her in person, he knew that the rumors were true. It was just that she wasn't pure anymore.

Leonel's biggest weakness was that he liked young girls. To put it bluntly, he was a pervert. For a

playboy like him who had had a lot of casual relationships, he possessed a pair of keen eyes, so he

immediately knew that Kelly was impure from the moment he laid eyes on her.

"Who are these two ladies?" Leonel's gaze fell on Kendall. From a glance, he noticed Kendall

resembled Adam. He also knew that the two daughters of the Parker Family had exchanged their lives

for 25 years by mistake, but he didn't say anything and waited for Kendall to introduce herself.

Kendall did not disappoint him. She stretched out her right hand to him generously and introduced

herself. "Good morning, Mr. Dawson. I'm Kendall, Vice President Parker's assistant. This time, I'm

accompanying her to talk to you about the cooperation between our companies."

When Leonel shook hands with Kendall and touched her hand, he found that her palm was calloused.

He was surprised at first, before he suddenly looked at Kendall with a little pity in his eyes. She was

originally the daughter of a rich family, but she was maliciously exchanged by a few bad people,

making her the daughter of a family of country bumpkins. She must've done a lot of farm work when

she was young. Otherwise, her hands would not be calloused.

In fact, it was the result of Kendall's martial arts practice. She still practiced boxing when she had time,

so the callouses on her palm never went away.

After Kelly introduced Cameron, Leonel invited the three of them to sit down on the couch in the lounge

area. After exchanging mutual greetings, the conversation naturally moved to the topic of their

cooperation. She listed out Parker Corporation's capabilities, while Leonel listened quietly and didn't

say much. Occasionally, he would look at Kendall.

With that look in his eyes, how could Kelly, who entered the workplace earlier than Kendall, not

understand the meaning? Leonel didn't disappoint her, and he really took a fancy to Kendall. Kelly

sneered inwardly, secretly happy that Leonel liked Kendall, which was helpful to her, but also a little

upset at the same time. Wasn't she better than Kendall? How could Leonel like Kendall and not spare

her a single glance? Cameron was no worse than Kendall either, but Leonel hardly looked at her.

When Kelly finished speaking, Leonel smiled and said, "I know the capabilities of Parker Corporation.

Vice President Parker, you can leave your quotation form, and I'll take a look when I have time to

compare it with the other companies. After all, I can't make decisions rashly."

He did not directly refuse, but didn't agree either, leaving room for them to work hard.

"That's a given, Mr. Dawson." Kelly took out a quotation form from her bag. This was the homework she

had done before she came, but she handed the quotation form to Kendall and said, "Kendall, can you

pass the quotation form to Mr. Dawson?"

When Leonel sat down just now, he had chosen the seat directly opposite Kendall. As Kendall was the

closest to him, no one would find it strange if she did this.

Kendall took the quotation form and handed it to Leonel with both hands.

When Leonel took the form from her, he smiled with narrowed eyes and asked, "How long have you

been in Parker Corporation, Assistant Parker?"

"Not for long. It's only been a few days."

"Only a few days? You're still a newbie, then. You have to learn properly from Vice President Parker."

Kendall maintained the smile on her face as she glanced at Kelly. "Thank you for your suggestion, Mr.

Dawson. I'll learn well from Vice President Parker."

Kelly laughed inwardly at the double meaning of his words, thinking that Kendall was still too new to the

business world and couldn't understand what he really meant.

After Leonel took the quotation form, he didn't spare a glance at it, but only placed it on the coffee table

casually and began to chat with the sisters. Most of the time, Kelly replied, while Kendall occasionally

joined the conversation.

Her attitude made her seem quiet and naive to Leonel. Although she was the true daughter of the

Parker Family, she was still relatively new to the world, which he liked. It was just that if he wanted the

true daughter of the Parker Family, he had to work hard. Most importantly, he had to let Kendall take

the initiative so that Adam wouldn't be able to trouble him.

When it was time for lunch, Leonel politely invited the three of them to have a meal together. Kendall

didn't take the lead, so Kelly readily agreed. She even said deliberately, "Later, we'll have to have a few

drinks with you, Mr. Dawson."

"Girls shouldn't drink that much." Leonel said with a smile, "It's easy for you to pass out from drinking

too much."

Kelly returned the smile. "Mr. Dawson, you're such a gentleman. It's fine; it's just a few drinks. Both of

us have a good tolerance for alcohol, especially Kendall. She won't get drunk no matter how much she

drinks. I'm afraid that you might be the one to collapse first instead."

"Oh, really?" Leonel looked at Kendall with a smirk.
