Kendall's Sacrifice

Chapter 664

Chapter 664 Unrepentant

Kelly was still refusing to admit to her crimes.

Brian stared at her pointedly. "Very well. I'm taking you back to the company, then." As he said that, he revved the car up.

"Brian," she called out softly.

"Kelly, we've known each other for years. I know who you exactly are. If you weren't involved, you wouldn't even be scared if I told you the cops were here, nor would you do as I told you to. Do you know why I suspected you? Because I've been keeping an eye on the case. The cops have captured the mastermind. She's someone you know quite well, too."

Kelly kept quiet.

Brian continued, "It's Jackson's mother and the grandmother of your unborn child. Kelly, the Whittles are in decline. Mrs. Whittle got a housekeeping job; she wouldn't have enough money to pay those people. Only you have that kind of money. She hates Kendall, and you want to get rid of them, so you guys conjured up a plan."

"Mrs. Whittle is caught?" Kelly wondered if Rosemi would rat on her. The thought of the cops coming for her made her pale. She only came back to her senses when the child in her belly kicked her. Oh, right. I'm still pregnant. I can be bailed out even if I were to be arrested, though I would still need to face the music.

"The Whittle couple is captured. Her husband is caught because he kept the crime a secret. Do you want to run away?"

Kelly touched her belly. At this point, there was no need to hide anything anymore. "I did give Mrs. Whittle some money, but only so she could live a better life. That day, I did lie to my folks so they'd go out, but I…"

She wanted to say she didn't mean to kill her parents, but she couldn't. After all, she had every intention to kill them. Though, she almost killed her birth parents in the process. "I used Mrs. Whittle's hatred for Kendall against her; I told her about my situation, and she offered to help. It's all for the sake of this child. I never wanted to drag so many people into this."

Brian smiled bitterly. "I knew it. Kelly, if you hadn't gone through so many schemes, the Parker couple would've left you some of their properties, too. Sure, they'll hand over the company to Kendall, but that's to be expected. She's their daughter, after all. You made one wrong step, and it's over." Same for me. I got my hands dirty for her. I'd made so many mistakes because of her.

Kelly looked at him for a moment. "You've changed, Brian."

"Everyone changes, and so do you."

"You're right; I've changed, too. I don't even know myself anymore. I can't believe I became this despicable." She then hissed, "This is all Kendall's fault. She shouldn't have come back. If she loves the Woodses so much, she should've stayed with them for life, like I would with Dad and Mom. She came for money. That's my stuff. Why should she have it?"

She ranted on, "She's just a bumpkin. She doesn't deserve to have anything better than I have. My parents turned all their love to her. Everything that was mine became hers. Everyone tells me the Parkers could give her everything they have, and I can't even complain." She growled, "Nobody ever thought about my feelings. It's not my fault I was switched at birth, so why do I have to take the consequences? They said they wanted me to stay because they couldn't bear to be separated from me. They said they'd treat me like their own, but they didn't."

"I've contributed so much to the company; I just wanted to get what is rightfully mine. Is that so wrong? It's all Kendall's fault. She made me do this. She ruined my life while she got all the love from my birth parents and hers. She even has a perfect and loving husband. How can she have all of these? She doesn't deserve it."

Brian heaved a sigh and leaned over to pull her into his embrace. "Calm down, Kelly. Don't cry. It's pointless. You should think about your future. If you don't run, you'll be sentenced to death if you were to be captured."

"I'm pregnant. They won't sentence me to death."

"They will once you give birth. You should run. Take the money and run as far as you can. Find somewhere no one knows you and stay there. Raise your kid and live a quiet life. Get out of this while you still can. You will never win. Kendall's no longer how she used to be, and she has a lot of people behind her. Even the head of the Ford Family is her friend. You cannot win."

Kelly cried in his embrace. "Please, save me. I don't want to die. I'm merely over twenty. I don't want to die."

"I can't," said Brian. "You've committed too big of a crime this time. No one can save you. Either you run away and live in obscurity, or you turn yourself in and see if they can give you a lighter sentence."

"Will I not be sentenced to death if I do that? Please, Brian, get the best lawyer you can for me. Don't let them kill me. I can take life imprisonment!" If she showed repentance, she might get her sentence reduced. More importantly, she would still be alive. Fear finally sank in for Kelly. She never thought she'd be exposed that soon, nor did she expect Rosemi to be caught that quickly. "No. I'm not turning myself in. I need to run. Take me to the airport and get a flight ticket for me. I need to leave this city."

"How am I supposed to buy a ticket for you without an ID? If I use your ID, the cops will find out where you're going. Are you sure you want to run away?"

She nodded tearfully. She didn't want to turn herself in or get jailed. Too many people died in that car crash, and too many cars were destroyed. She couldn't take the consequences.

"Sign the share transfer agreement, and I'll get you a car to take you out of this city." Brian still insisted on having her sign the papers.

Since she already had the card, Kelly signed the papers. She could no longer stay in this city.

While Brian was getting her a car to leave Orapolis, Adam was talking to some cops in his office. "You're here for Kelly?" He was curious. "What did she do?"

"We suspect she's involved with the Orapolis Bridge's freak accident. We need her to assist us in the investigation."

"What?!" Adam's face fell, and he plopped down on his chair like jelly.
