Chapter 343
Shirley's extravagant life was quite boring; she'd either go shopping or play cards every day, or she'd get a few
friends to come along on an impromptu trip to the hot springs.
Ever since she got her biological daughter back, she rarely went on trips anymore. She'd always stay at home to
accompany her daughter, strengthening their relationship.
"Have you had dinner?"
Shirley asked, taking the initiative.
"I rushed back as soon as I got off work, thinking that I could have dinner with you. Kendall has Master Dylan now,
so she can't stay with you often. She rarely comes back now, and every time she does—"
It would only be bad news, for Kendall always exposed Kelly's secrets.
"Kendall is busy, so I asked her not to come back all the time in case she tires herself out."
"No matter how busy she gets, she still has time to eat. She goes to Dynasty Hotel for dinner with Master Dylan
every day, and she's never thought of coming back to accompany you."
Shirley glared at Kelly, upset.
"Fine, I'll stop talking now."
Kelly wisely shut up.
No matter what, Kendall was Kelly's foster mother's biological daughter.
After spending time together for more than a year, her foster mother would be more biased toward Kendall.
"Kelly, it's not that I'm picking sides. In terms of having meals together, Kendall accompanies me more often than
you do."
Kelly was speechless.
When she thought about it, she realized that it was true.
"Mom, I'm so sorry for treating you like this. I also want to spend more time with you, but I have to go to work, and
it's always busy at work. I—"
"Don't complain about others when you yourself aren't doing well either."

Kelly looked like she was learning a lesson earnestly. "Understood, Mom."
Shirley looked at her for a moment, then took her hand and patted it, saying, "Kelly, even though you're not our
biological daughter, you still lived with us for more than twenty years. We always treat you like our biological
daughter. Kendall grew up without us, and we feel like we owe her, so we more or less favor her more. With
everything going on, we're doing our best to treat you two fairly. You don't have to be jealous of Kendall and fight
with her. It would only make us sad."
Kelly sneered in her mind. After Shirley knew that Kelly wasn't a biological daughter of the Parker Family, she
obviously favored Kendall more.
If Kelly didn't do anything, she might lose everything.
She had spent so much effort on Parker Corporation, so she couldn't just stand by and watch as her foster father
passed Parker Corporation to Kendall.
She refused to!
"Mom."
Kelly said pitifully, "If I don't fight with Kendall, Kendall would be the one fighting me. Ever since she went to the
Colemans and visited Master Dylan, cutting herself to reject marriage talks and coming back, it seems like she's
been holding a grudge against me. She'd target me and trouble me whenever possible, be it at work or at home.
Mom, you should know that too. When Kendall just came back, we were on very good terms with each other, and
she respected me as an elder sister as well. I cared for and protected this younger sister of mine, and I always gave
her the best things. Even Jackson… Mom, I admit that I've been seeing Jackson, and when we were about to
announce our relationship, Kendall came along. Kendall fell for Jackson, and I didn't want to fight with her, so I
backed out of my own initiative, letting Kendall be with Jackson."
Kelly came clean about her past with Jackson.
Now, she was even pregnant with Jackson's child, and her foster parents found out about her relationship with
Jackson. She felt that if she kept it a secret any longer, her foster parents might think that she was making things
difficult for them.
"I don't even know what I did wrong to provoke Kendall for her to be treating me like this. Mom, I think Kendall
seems to be forcing me to leave the Parker Family, to leave you two, and maybe even Orapolis itself."
Shirley let go of Kelly's hand.
Kelly could tell from this action that her foster mother was troubled.
She couldn't help but sneer again in her mind.
Shirley said that she would treat them two fairly, and when Kelly talked bad about Kendall, Shirley would stand up
for the other.
Now, since everything was out in the open, Kelly decided to reveal her suspicions. Her foster mother was already
mad, after all.
"Mom, there's something I've been hiding in my heart for a long time. I don't know if I should say it. If it turns out to
be true, I'm worried that you and Dad would be so distraught and unable to accept the truth."
Shirley said calmly, "Speak freely if there's anything on your mind. We've lived long enough, and we've seen too
many things."
While glancing at Kelly, Shirley continued, "We won't interfere in your relationship with Jackson anymore. In the
future, if you ever regret it, don't blame us for not advising you earlier. You're the one who refused to listen. Now,
I'm just glad that Kendall left Jackson."
Kelly pursed her lips.
Kendall left Jackson for Master Dylan only because Master Dylan is richer than him, she thought.
Does anyone really believe that Kendall earnestly loves Master Dylan?
Master Dylan is a smart person, so how did he not notice Kendall's ulterior motives?
"Mom, I'm a grown woman now. I'll take responsibility for my own actions. However, Mom, don't you suspect that
Kendall is no longer the Kendall we know?"
Shirley glared at her, a foul expression on her face as she said angrily, "Kelly, what do you mean by that?"
"Mom, don't get angry. I'll analyze it for you." Kelly hastily coaxed her foster mother as she said, "Mom, remember
how obedient Kendall used to be? She was such a nice person, but she changed ever since coming back from the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmColeman Residence. She sucked up to you and Dad, and she kept going against me. I'm suspecting that the new
Kendall is fake, and her only motive is to destroy my relationship with you and Dad. Then, when she has pleased
you and Dad sufficiently, she'll learn to manage the company so that she can take over Parker Corporation. With
that, she'll claim the Parker Family's property as her own. Now, this Kendall might be fake, and everything might be
a plot. When Kendall went to see Master Dylan, it was a chance to switch out the Kendalls. The real Kendall might
be—"
"Kelly Parker!"
Shirley stood up right away and pointed at Kelly, shouting, "You're the one who's trying to destroy our relationship
with Kendall! Kendall is our biological daughter, and she's nice to her biological parents because it's only natural.
But in your eyes, she's just sucking up to us. You even said that she's going against you, but you're the one who
keeps jumping on every opportunity to slander Kendall and talk bad about her in front of me."
Shirley was extremely mad.
"Kelly, I'm not scared of you blaming me. No matter how much you slander Kendall, she's my dear biological
daughter!"
Kendall was the daughter she had carried for ten months in her belly, who was switched out by someone with evil
intentions, causing her to be separated from her daughter for twenty-five years.
Shirley always thought that she owed her daughter, and she wanted to make it up to Kendall. No matter how bad
her daughter might be, she was still her biological daughter!
Now, Kelly was suspecting that Kendall was fake. Naturally, Shirley would be mad.
"Mom."
Kelly stood up and said, "Mom, don't get angry first. Think about it properly. How did Kendall treat you and Dad
when she just returned to the family, and how is she treating you now? She changed overnight. Also, she was
deeply in love with Jackson, and she swore she would marry Jackson no matter what. But then, she suddenly
changed her mind and avoided him. She then married Master Dylan despite everything. Mom, don't you think that
everything is rather suspicious?"
