Kendall's Sacrifice

Suddenly, Kelly felt nauseated again, possibly because of the poor quality of the air in the lift.

She struggled to keep it under control as she did not want to puke in front of Kendall.

However, the more she tried to restrain it, the more nauseated she became.

"Kelly, are you not feeling well?"

Kelly's demeanor had not escaped Kendall's eyes.

Following what happened in the previous life, Kelly's illegitimate child was about the same age as Kendall's child, and thus Kelly should be pregnant by now.

"I'm fine. It's only a minor flu," Kelly nonchalantly replied. "Cameron bought me some pills for it, but they don't seem to work."

"You should go to the hospital in case it gets worse."

Kendall then continued, appearing concerned, "Don't simply take medicine. You won't get well if you take medications that you are not supposed to take."

She seemed to imply something more.

Cameron did not sense it, but Kelly was well aware of what Kendall meant.

If Kelly was indeed pregnant, any medication she took would have an impact on the fetus.

Her face turned grim. "Thank you for your concern. I'll go to the hospital now, but I will not be taking any sick leave," she responded indifferently.

Kendall smiled at that. "Vice President Parker, you're really dedicated to your job. It's always a good thing to earn more profit for the company. I really admire people like you."

No matter how much Kelly earned for the Parker Corporation, she would never get anything out of it. All of those would eventually become Kendall's dowry.

If her father had not instructed her not to fall out with Kelly before Kendall was able to take over the company, Kendall would have torn her relationship with Kelly long ago.

"Miss Parker, you should learn from Vice President Parker. I heard you were frequently absent from work, but since you're President Parker's daughter, I'm sure he won't do anything to you even if you don't show up to work every day."

Cameron was always on Kelly's side and didn't think much of Kendall.

"Even though Vice President Parker was the one who did the work, President Parker just turned a blind eye to that and gave the credit to you, Miss Parker. I suppose you simply drank some alcohol and went to the hotel with Mr. Dawson. Who knows if you beat him in drinking or in bed…"

Without even waiting for her to finish her sentence, Kendall raised her hand and gave Cameron a tight slap.

Cameron was shocked. She covered her face with her hand and stared at Kendall, as if she wasn't expecting the slap.

"What are you doing, Kendall?"

Kelly's expression darkened further when she saw Kendall slap her secretary in front of her.

Cameron was Kelly's secretary, and she was working for the woman. Even if Cameron had done something wrong, it was not Kendall's place, in that lowly position, to teach Cameron a lesson.

"If I hear another insulting word from you, I won't stop at just a slap," Kendall warned Cameron, completely ignoring Kelly's solemn expression.

Cameron knew that she was in the wrong and hence, she merely looked displeased but did not dare to say anything.

Then, Kendall turned to Kelly and said coldly, "Kelly, you were also present that day. Apart from Leonel, you are the only person who knows what happened that day, so what did you say to your lackeys when you returned to the company?"

"Let me warn you beforehand—if I hear any more rumors about me winning Leonel in bed, I'll sue you all in court for defamation."

With a dark expression, Kelly quickly defended herself. "I never said you got the contract because you beat Leonel in bed."

Cameron, on the other hand, had turned pale.

She recalled having defamed Kendall in front of another colleague.

And she sincerely hoped that her colleague could keep what Cameron had said a secret. If rumors began to circulate within the company, she would be dead meat.

Kendall was now not only the Parkers' real princess, but also the Young Mistress of the Coleman Family.

Cameron's legs wobbled as she remembered Master Dylan, who was known to be ruthless.

"You know better whether you said it or not. Don't think I won't find out; if I want, I can even find out how often you go to the ladies in one day."

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Kelly turned to Cameron and instructed solemnly, "Cameron, apologize to Miss Parker now."

"I'm sorry, Miss Parker. It was entirely my fault. I was just trying to help Vice President Parker. It was I who spoke nonsense and simply took things out of thin air. Vice President Parker has nothing to do with this, and she had never said that you won Leonel in bed," Cameron tactfully apologized.

Kelly's tense expression relaxed a little after Cameron apologized. "Kendall, Cameron realizes she was wrong now, and you have slapped her as well. Let this matter end here. It's partly my fault too; I failed to manage my employees well."

Kendall, however, continued to stare at Kelly coldly and said, "Even though you are the one in charge of the collaboration with Prestige Electronics, you know in your heart what you intend to do behind my back. Things would not be as simple as just winning him in drinking if Mr. Dawson did not have his conscience with him."

Kendall knew that Kelly had always wanted her to compromise her integrity and conform to the unspoken rule just for the contract. Her scores with Kelly had not yet been settled on this, and Kelly had the audacity to claim credit for the contract now.

Kelly did absolutely nothing else other than fix the price!

Kendall was always the one who communicated with Leonel.

"Kelly, even though I'm new here, I'm not a moron. Don't expect me to still treat you nicely after what you've done to me.
