Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 159

Suddenly, Tilly paused. Recalling that her beloved grandson could no longer let Kendall give birth to

babies for the Coleman Family, she only felt frustrated.

Just then, Kendall snatched Dylan's plate from him and picked out the shreds of paper that he hadn't

eaten. She chided him, "Dylan, even if someone has to eat the paper, I should've been the one who

eats it and eats the Coleman Family's rules. Why snatch the paper from me when you already know

the rules by heart?"

At the sight of this, Tilly felt even more frustrated. She probably doesn't take my words to heart, she

thought.

Just then, Kendall said to her, "Grandma, what did you just say? Can't the women in the Coleman

Family go to work? Grandma, what's wrong with me going to work? I'm not going out to commit crimes.

I have a decent job that pays me lawful wages. And besides, I'm willing to be self-reliant and get

rewarded with my own efforts instead of living off Dylan. You should be proud of a self-disciplined

granddaughter-in-law who has self-respect and is willing to be self-reliant like me."

Tilly was rendered speechless. How shameless!

Kendall then added, "In any case, I have to go to work. I can't lose myself after marrying Dylan, right? I

married him, but I didn't sell myself to him. I have my own freedom." In her opinion, women should

have a job before and after getting married. Only by being financially independent could a woman be

confident enough to stand up for herself.

Tilly's face darkened for a while. Then, she said to Kendall, "Does the Coleman Family not provide you

with food or clothing, or does Dylan not give you pocket money? Why do you need to go to work? Is

there any married woman who shows herself in public like you?"

Kendall replied, "Ever since I married Dylan, I've been wearing clothes that I brought from my parents'

home. The Coleman Family does provide me with food, but Dylan did say at first that I could be self-

reliant. It's just that I'm thick-skinned enough to scrounge meals off Dylan. But, Grandma, you're right

about one thing. Dylan doesn't give me pocket money."

Both Tilly and Dylan were rendered speechless by her words.

Kendall then continued, "Speaking of showing myself in public, I'm just following your example.

Although I'm young, I've heard more than once about how powerful you were in the business circles

when you were young. Grandma, I adore you for making public appearances and being successful in

business. You're not inferior to any man. Seriously, Grandma, you're my idol." As she spoke, she gave

Tilly a thumbs up.

Tilly's face was livid, but she didn't know how to refute Kendall.

"I've heard from Dylan before that the main job of the women who marry into the Coleman Family is to

give birth to the family's descendants. He even said that in your family, you can get rewarded 100

million for giving birth to a son or 500 million for giving birth to a daughter. He he." Kendall chuckled. "I

wonder if I should say that this rule is giving the women who marry into the Coleman Family a chance

to earn money—or that the Colemans are treating women as pigs instead of humans. Old Madam

Coleman, don't forget that you're also one of the women who married into the Coleman Family." She

picked up a cupcake with the kitchen tongs and put it onto the plate in front of Tilly. Despite the smile

on her face, what she said next frustrated Tilly even more. She said, "Old Madam Coleman, we're both

women. Why make things difficult for a woman like you?"

Tilly took a few deep breaths before saying coldly, "Vivian, let's go."

Vivian hurriedly stepped forward and helped Tilly up and out of the pavilion. Then, they headed toward

the main house without looking back.

Kendall stood up and saw them to the pavilion's entrance. Then, she raised her voice and said politely,

"See you again, Grandma!"

Tilly gnashed her teeth so hard that her gold tooth nearly broke off. What an audacious and shameless

woman she is! She floored me with her words once again. No one in the Coleman Family has ever

rendered me at a loss for a retort like this before. If it weren't for my beloved grandson being present,

I'd have had her mouth sealed with cellophane tape and kicked her out of the Coleman Mansion!

Tilly thought she had made a tactical blunder by picking on Kendall in front of Dylan. She had thought

that he would show her some respect, but who would've thought that he would still defend Kendall till

the very end? Not only that, but Kendall was shameless enough to simply not know her own limitations.

A country bumpkin is simply an unpresentable country bumpkin. If she's also so conceited and arrogant

out there, she'll get Dylan into trouble by offending somebody! At the thought of this, she grew even

more displeased with Kendall.

"Oh, no! I'm gonna be late," Kendall exclaimed in a low voice after checking the time. She turned to

look at Dylan, saying, "Enjoy your breakfast, Dylan. I won't be having breakfast with you." She then put

the present she had prepared beforehand in front of him. "Here's the present for today. As usual, don't

open it until you get into the car. Keep the mystery alive, and it'll give you a surprise," she said. With

that, she picked up her handbag and hurried out of the pavilion to ask Amos to arrange for a chauffeur

to drive her to work.

Dylan didn't manage to stop her in time. "She runs away even faster than a hare, huh?" He picked up

the present. Then, he said to Ronnie, "Pack these and send them to that shameless lady as soon as

possible for her to eat on her way to work."

Ronnie and the other bodyguards hurried into the pavilion and packed the breakfast as soon as they

could. After that, they had someone block Kendall's path and give the breakfast bag to her. Only then

did the chauffeur in charge of driving her to her office manage to start driving.

Dylan didn't eat much for breakfast, though.

Ronnie asked, "Young Master Dylan, would you like the kitchen to fix you something you'd like to eat?"

Dylan stood up on his own. Ronnie wanted to support him, but he turned him down and slowly walked

out of the pavilion. "It's not necessary."

It was difficult for him to walk down the steps on his own, so he had to do so with the help of the

bodyguards. The wheelchair was pushed over so that he could sit down on it as soon as he walked

down the steps.

A few minutes later, Dylan's motorcade drove out of the Coleman Mansion inconspicuously.

"Go to L.E. Boutique first," Dylan ordered in a deep voice. Kendall had said that the clothes she was

currently wearing were all brought from her parents' home. In other words, she was indicating that he

had never bought her clothes as presents. Laura designed evening dresses, but she could also design

everyday clothes to order. Her feelings for him aside, he trusted her capabilities as a designer.

When Dylan reached L.E. Boutique's main store, Laura hadn't come to work yet, and the store had just

opened. When the store manager saw him being wheeled in under escort by a bunch of bodyguards,

she nearly dropped the glass of water she was drinking. "Master Dylan." Putting down the glass, she

quickly went up to him with a smile and nearly bowed and scraped to him.

"Is Laura here?"

The store manager replied with a smile, "President Evans hasn't come to work yet. Master Dylan,

please wait a moment while I inform her right away. I guarantee you that she'll show up before you in

15 minutes."

Dylan raised his left hand to look at his watch. It was 8:10AM, which was indeed early for Laura. If he

had come 10 minutes earlier, L.E. Boutique would've yet to open for business. "It's not necessary. Just

tell Laura to find time to go to Parker Corporation today to take Ms. Parker's measurements and design

some everyday clothes for her. Just design 40 sets for the time being with 10 sets for each season."
