Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 181

Leonel merely responded with a faint smile when Krystal greeted him. Then, he turned to Kendall and

spoke to her. "Fishing isn't just about patience, Kendall. It's also about silence. You don't want to chase

the fishes away."

"That's true," Kendall said with a smile. "I'll have to work hard to improve my skills now, Miss Caddel,"

she said apologetically. In other words, she was telling Krystal not to disturb her. She wasn't close to

Krystal, after all. In her past life, she didn't even know how Krystal looked. But, after getting a second

chance in life, there were a lot of people and things that changed because of her.

"Good luck with that," Krystal replied, smiling before turning to look at Jackson. "Let's fish here too,

Jackson. We'd have a friend around since Miss Parker is also here."

Kendall secretly rolled her eyes when she heard the other woman's words. Krystal was clearly doing

this intentionally. Does she think that I still care about Jackson? Can't she tell that Jackson's nervous

and terrified now? He's probably afraid after I beat him up. Hah!

Kendall thought that Jackson would reject Krystal's idea since he was scared of Kendall. But, to

Kendall's surprise, he responded to Krystal in a gentle tone. "You can make the decision, Krystal. I'll go

along with whatever you say," he uttered.

Krystal wore a smug look on her face as she glanced at Kendall, which rendered her speechless. Both

of them are so in love now. Jackson sure has some skills in chasing after girls, huh. However, when

Kendall thought about how she had lost her sense of self while going after this man and ended up in a

terrible situation after that, she had to admit that Jackson had indeed been a physically attractive man.

Many of Krystal's traits were no match for Jackson, and Jackson had even molested her in the past.

Although they hadn't gone all the way, that was only because someone else had come to them just in

time. Otherwise… Krystal would have made a decision before Jackson offered to take responsibility for

her. Furthermore, he had ruined her reputation as she wouldn't have been able to find a husband if she

didn't get married to Jackson.

Back then, Jackson had been under the influence of substances, so he wasn't actually horny for her.

However, Krystal would have no reason to reject him if he was willing to take responsibility for her. She

wouldn't get a chance to marry a man like Jackson otherwise. Kendall gazed at Jackson to find him

looking at Krystal attentively. He looked extremely fond of her—it seemed like he was really in love with

her. Kendall couldn't help but sigh on behalf of Kelly.

Is Kelly fated to be Jackson's mistress forever? Kendall thought. "What are you looking at, Miss

Parker?" Krystal didn't hesitate to speak up when she saw Kendall checking Jackson out. "I know you

used to love Jackson, Miss Parker. I know you wanted to marry him. But he's my fiancé now, and our

families are already preparing for the marriage. I'm sure you'll receive an invitation soon. I would

appreciate it if you could control yourself a little, Miss Parker."

"If you don't want me to stare at your man, you should hide him away, Miss Caddel. Don't let him show

up before me," Kendall replied.

Krystal nearly choked. "Also, whatever you're talking about is in the past, Miss Caddel. Right now, I

have no interest in your man, So you don't have to be worried about me. I wouldn't go for him even if I

were looking for a man," Kendall continued.

Krystal was fuming at the insult, and it took her a while before she could gather her words. "I often hear

people claim that Miss Parker is an uneducated and shameless woman who grew up in the

countryside, but I never believed it until today. I guess it's true—you sure are shameless," Krystal spat

out, furious.

"Am I shameless for not liking Jackson?" Kendall scoffed in anger. "Do you want us to fight over him?

I'm sorry. I don't have the interest and the time now. The amount of love I used to have for him is

equivalent to the amount of hate I have for him now. Honestly speaking, I was the one who abandoned

Mr. Whittle. You were the one who picked up the trash I didn't want, Miss Caddel. So, how dare you

come to show off in front of me now? What are you so proud of?"

Krystal was so angry that her face twisted into a nasty look. "Look at her, Jackson. She's bullying me.

Help me teach her a lesson, Jackson." Krystal tugged on Jackson's arm as she begged him to speak

up for her.

Leonel, who had just caught another fish, couldn't help but interrupt their conversation. "Miss Caddel,

Mr. Whittle, if you guys are not here to fish, I would like you not to stay around and disturb us. I heard

everything that Miss Parker said to you, Miss Caddel. It doesn't sound like she bullied you at all."

"You're one of Kendall's men, aren't you, Mr. Dawson? You sure are impressive, Kendall. I salute your

ability to seduce men. However, I'd suggest you find a younger guy the next time. Mr. Dawson's old

enough to be your dad." Krystal made a sarcastic remark when she saw Leonel speaking up for

Kendall.

"Please watch your mouth, Miss Caddel!" Leonel hissed coldly. Kendall, on the other hand, stood and

strode directly toward Krystal. "W-What are you trying to do?" Krystal was shocked by the other

woman's gaze, and stuttered as she spoke. "I'm warning you right now, Kendall. If you lay a finger on

me, I will make sure you suffer. The Zorn Family is related to the Caddel Family, so they will definitely

hold this against the Parker Family if you hit me," Krystal hissed.

As Kendall stepped forward, Jackson instinctively took a step back in response to Kendall's nearing

figure. "Say that again, Krystal!" Kendall's face was twisted into a look of fury. "Who did I seduce?"

Krystal straightened her figure before scoffing at Kendall's words. "Are you getting mad because what

I'm saying is the truth? Huh? Aren't you just using your good looks to seduce all the men you see?

You're like public transport—any man can get into you. I heard that you weren't just going for Master

Dylan but also President Mendelson. Now, you're here fishing with Mr. Dawson. What's the status

between you two? Could it be…"

Splash! Water splashed all over the place the moment Kendall shoved Krystal into the river.

Unfortunately, both Jackson and Leonel didn't have the time to react to the situation yet—Krystal was

already in the water by the time they realized what was happening.

Kendall clapped her hands. "Your mouth stinks, Miss Caddel. However, the water here is really clean,

so I think it'd be great for you to wash your smelly mouth here." Kendall had no intention of starting a

fight with Krystal, but Krystal was the one who triggered it.

Krystal had taken in a man Kendall threw out on the road, yet she had the nerve to come over to flaunt

her relationship. Unfortunately, Kendall didn't feel like responding to Krystal. So, Krystal tried to bring

Kendall into the topic no matter what she said, and her words gradually turned so filthy that even

Kendall couldn't withstand it. Kendall had never been one to hold grudges as she preferred to instantly

deal with the person rather than swallow her fury. Meanwhile, Krystal knew how to swim, but she had

been too shocked by the sudden fall earlier, so she swallowed a few mouthfuls of water. In the end, she

choked and coughed a few times before she returned to her senses and swam toward the other side of

the river. Soon enough, she got up to land and glared at Kendall.

"Just you wait, Kendall!" Krystal hissed.

Kendall laughed at her drowned rat look and her petty words. "I'll be here waiting. You can come and

take revenge at any time. By the way, just a friendly reminder—I won't hold back if I hear you defaming

me again," Kendall said imperiously. Then, she turned to Jackson before returning her focus to Krystal.

"Look at this man whom I had abandoned. He stood around and zoned out while you fell into the water,

and he didn't rush to save you immediately. Your life is over if you marry him, Krystal. Mark my words.

He's not a man worth your time and attention."
