Chapter 87
After hearing Kelly's words, Jackson hesitantly said, "Kendall treats me like an enemy now. She won't
help me even if I were to approach her first."
That woman has cold-heartedly un-loved me just like that, he bitterly thought to himself, a wave of
disappointment hitting him again.
Still, he decided to go to Kendall for help. "Let me give it a go," he agreed.
The Whittle Holdings' future was far more important than his dignity.
If there ever came a day when the Whittle Holdings was ruined, Jackson knew his own future would be
destroyed if he had to leave high society. This was definitely not the result he envisioned to achieve.
"Alright, then. Go on. I will tell Yasmine to persuade her brother to have a collaboration with your
company. You wouldn't have to worry about the Coleman Empire Holdings if you have Zorn Holdings'
support."
"Thank you, Kelly." Assured that Kelly was very much still in love with him, Jackson thanked her in a
gentle voice.
"We are too close to be saying thanks to each other. Helping you means helping myself too."
How could Kelly possibly allow the Whittle Holdings to fall to ruins if she was going to marry Jackson?
The Whittle Holdings was only wrapped up in rumor because of the one business dealing Coleman
Empire Holdings robbed them of. The Colemans hadn't actually done anything that directly harmed
them. That was how businesses went. It was normal for there to be a sudden change of mind as long
as a contract wasn't formed.
There were even people who would regret their decision after signing a contract.
What Tom and Jackson were concerned about was the consequences the rumors might bring.
The other partners of Whittle Holdings would definitely feel more confident about their collaborations as
soon as the Zorn Holdings lent Whittle Holdings a helping hand. That would subsequently pull Whittle
Holdings out of the dangerous place they were currently in.
Kelly quickly called Yasmine after her talk on the phone with Jackson.
Kendall, however, was clueless about how Kelly had contacted Yasmine in order to help the Whittle
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHoldings. After Kendall was done with the on-boarding procedure, she went to Jessie's office and sat
down in front of her own desk while she put her full attention into looking through the sample layouts of
the company products.
The landline phone on Jessie's desk started ringing, and Jessie smoothly picked it up despite not
knowing who was calling. She only turned to Kendall as she spoke on the phone.
After she put the handset back down, she informed Kendall, "Miss Parker, Mr. Whittle is here to see
you."
"Jackson Whittle?"
"That's right," Jessie said with a smile on her face as she nodded.
"Where is he?"
"He is already coming upstairs using the elevator. Would you like to see him in front of the elevator or
here?"
His surprise visit is probably because of Whittle Holdings, Kendall thought.
Not wanting to disrupt Jessie's work, she said that she would wait for Jackson in front of the elevator.
Kendall had just left the office and walked to the elevator when Jackson came out.
"Kendall." He strode toward her.
It only took him a second to reach her.
"What are you looking for me for?" She stepped back to keep some distance between them and
warned, "Don't get too close to me."
She was worried that she might cripple him if she wasn't able to hold back her hatred for him.
"Kendall," Jackson gently called out to her. His eyes were deep and full of emotion as he gazed at her.
"Can you please stop sulking? You've been on it for days now. Only God knows how heartbreaking it is
for me when you intentionally ignore me like this."
What a shameless man! How is he still pretending to be in love with me and making it sound like I am
being difficult?
Instead of saying that to his face, Kendall only let out a scoff before she sassed, "Who is sulking,
Jackson? Heartbreaking? You? For what? You must be heartbroken about not being able to marry
Kelly after our family rejected your proposal, huh? Jackson Whittle, your mother has brought over the
dowry in broad daylight, and she even outright said that she wanted Kelly as her daughter-in-law. How
dare you pretend to love me? Don't you see how disgusting you are being?"
"That wasn't my idea, Kendall. I didn't even know that my mother would do something like that!" he
hurriedly explained himself.
Jackson had gotten into a fight so huge with Rosemi after he went home yesterday that she was still
mad when he left for work this morning.
Nothing seemed to be going his way lately.
It all seemed to have started from the moment Kendall started treating him coldly.
Could Kendall be my lady luck?
"I am sorry, Kendall. I owe you an apology no matter what. Let's make up, Kendall. I can't take it when
you treat me this way. You know I love you."
She immediately made a gagging sound when she heard him profess his 'love'. "Don't make me throw
up, Jackson. Spit it out. Tell me why you are here. You can screw off after you are done talking. I don't
have time to waste here listening to your mouth diarrhea."
Looking at him now, Kendall couldn't help but think that she must have been blind to fall for a man like
him. Not only that, she had lost both herself and her freedom in the middle of it. She literally loved him
to death.
Kelly and Jackson must have been happy after I died in my past life. This d*mned cheating couple!
Kendall about how everything she had and was rightfully hers had fallen into Kelly's hands after her
death immediately rekindled the grudge she held toward Kelly.
She detested how cruelly Jackson had betrayed her. She also hated herself for being overly trusting to
the point of stupidity in her last life.
"Something happened to the Whittle Holdings, Kendall. There are rumors going around about how we
have gotten on Master Dylan's bad side. Those rumors aren't true at all. You have seen my attitude
toward Master Dylan. How could our company ever do anything to offend him? Can you please say
something about this to him? Or you can arrange for me to give him an explanation in person."
Jackson knew that Kendall was the reason he had the chance to meet Dylan last time.
She might really be his lady luck, after all!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Jackson continued to beg Kendall to help him, his head was gradually getting filled with a thought—
he must never let her leave his side.
He would even forcibly keep her if that was what it took to make her stay by his side.
It suddenly didn't seem like a bad idea to make her his wife.
Kendall patted herself on the face, "How big does my head look to you, Jackson? You think I am in a
place where I can arrange for you to meet with Dylan?"
"Kendall—"
"Forgive me," she cut him off. "I can't help. Now leave."
Unwilling to waste her energy entertaining her enemy, Kendall then turned around to leave.
"Kendall? Kendall!" Jackson hurried after her and spread his arms sideways to stop her from leaving, a
pitiful look on his face as he pleaded, "Kendall, please help me. We used to be so in love. How could
you just watch the Whittle Holdings' downfall? The Whittle is the name you will have in the future. I will
marry you. I swear I will marry you."
His words were so disgusting that she itched to give him a big slap on his face that would send him all
the way to the Pacific Ocean.
Kendall couldn't even be bothered to answer him, and was about to go around him when he pulled the
indifferent woman into his arms. He then lowered his head to force a kiss on her.
That, of course, properly pissed Kendall off!
That pig of a man was actually trying to take advantage of her!
With all the strength she could muster, she broke free from his arms while she evaded his kiss. He was
about to go in for another embrace again when she angrily grabbed one of his arms before throwing
him over her shoulder in one powerful move.
The elevator door opened right at the moment Jackson was hopelessly flung on the ground.
Wham!
A loud sound could be heard reverberating throughout the space when he heavily fell.
Jackson hadn't even noticed that he was being thrown like a ragdoll until it was over.
All he knew was how dizzy he felt. He wasn't even sure where he had been thrown to.
The row of people who came out of the elevator only quietly looked on as the incident unfolded.
She detested how cruelly Jackson had betrayed her. She also hated herself for being overly trusting to
the point of stupidity in her last life.
