Love Knows No Bounds

Chapter 508

"Tell Roger to come to us if he needs any help. We'll do whatever we can," Dylan declared generously as if to prove that he wasn't jealous of Roger.

"We can't help him anyway. He's trying to win the heart of the woman he likes."

The barest hint of a smile danced across Dylan's eyes and he turned back to look at Kendall. "Roger found someone?"

Well, Dylan was a lot more relieved now.

It wasn't him who was being too suspicious, but since Kendall wasn't related to the Woodses by blood, and with Nelson's prior showing, he was truly worried that even Roger's feelings toward Kendall would change.

"Yeah. Roger fell in love with Emma at first sight. He was asking me for Emma's number."

Dylan was taken aback.

"Didn't you intend on introducing Miss Finley to Nelson?" Dylan quizzed in puzzlement.

"Yeah, but since Roger has fallen for Emma, let's forget about that and never bring it up again."

"I never thought Miss Finley would be so well-received," Dylan remarked after a pause. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Why wouldn't she be? She's an accomplished young woman and so pretty too. Guys would be lining up to get a chance with her if they didn't know that she liked Toddy. Still, Roger's not too bad himself. I

hope he can defeat Toddy."

Dylan chuckled. He seemed to be delighted. "Toddy should be getting anxious now. He asked for it! Kendall, why don't I arrange for Miss Finley to become your secretary?"

"Are you sure that's okay? What's going to happen to you if you give Emma to me?"

"There are still a lot of capable secretaries at the company. I can always bring over a new one."

Kendall was tempted by Dylan's offer.

She was returning to the office on Monday and a fierce battle awaited her. The acrimony between her and Kelly was nearly at its peak. They were on the verge of dropping all pretense of cordiality now. Until a time when Adam kicked Kelly out of the company, Kelly was still going to be her strongest opponent.

Right now, at the company, only Adam and Jessie were on Kendall's side.

The other directors and managers had still observed the two women from the sidelines.

After all, Kendall had only managed to sign one major contract and a few smaller ones thus far.

Thankfully, she managed to negotiate a few business deals at Wino City. She could start the process of signing the contract once she got back to the office.

Parker Corporation belonged to the Parkers, but if she wanted to inherit the company, she had to prove

that she was up for the job. Even though Kelly's reputation was damaged, Kendall had to admit that she was still falling behind Kelly when it came to managing the business.

There were two reasons why Adam hadn't kicked Kelly out of the company yet. The first was that he had raised Kelly for over two decades now and still cared about her, and the second was that he wanted Kendall and Kelly to compete against each other. If Kendall won, she could then take over the company and chase Kelly out herself.

If Kendall lost, then the outcome would be the same as her previous life.

She needed a capable secretary to help her.

"Toddy will be furious if you arrange for Emma to work for me," Kendall commented, but she was still swayed by the idea. "You need to ask Emma's opinion too. If she doesn't want to come over, then you shouldn't force her."

Working for Kendall would not be the same as working for Dylan.

Dylan agreed to that. "I'll ask for her opinion first. If she doesn't want to join you, then I won't force her. I'll find another secretary that's just as capable as her for you."

The couple continued discussing work as they headed back in.

In another part of town, Toddy sneezed for no apparent reason.

Valentine's Day flew by as all the loving couples spent the day together.

The day after Valentine's Day, Kendall and Dylan headed to the hospital to visit Nelson, accompanied by several bodyguards. They brought along some supplements as well.

With all the treatment Nelson had been receiving all this while, he was well on the road to recovery.

At last, Kendall and Dylan had come to visit him. Nelson had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Kendall, but the intimidating look in Dylan's eyes deterred him.

The couple stayed at the hospital for several hours before Sally started urging them to go back home.

"Dylan," Nelson called out all of a sudden. "Can we talk in private?"

Dylan agreed.

The others left the room.

Dylan sat down by the bed and fixed his eyes on Nelson as he waited for Nelson to speak.

"Did something happen with you and Kendall recently?"

"Nope. We're fine. I can walk quite a bit now."

Dylan knew about the Woodses keeping the whole situation from Nelson.

Naturally, he wasn't going to admit that he and Kendall had nearly been separated.

Nelson looked Dylan straight in the eye.

"I'm not dumb, Dylan. It's not surprising that you didn't come and visit me at the hospital since you're very busy, but no matter how busy Kendall got, she would still come and see me, yet she didn't drop by for more than two weeks. My parents kept telling me she was busy, but I know it was just an excuse."

"Kendall had a lot of work to do. As you know, she's joined Parker Corporation now, and the company belongs to her family, so there's a high chance she'll be inheriting the company in the future. She's never been involved in business before, so she has to work even harder than everyone else."

"Was it you or your family who did something to Kendall?"

"Nelson, I love Kendall with all my heart. She's even more important to me than my life. I'd rather hurt myself than see her hurt in any way," Dylan declared solemnly.

Nelson believed him.

He had been willing to let Kendall be with Dylan because he had seen how much Dylan loved and adored Kendall.

He no longer felt anything for Kendall, other than brotherly love.

He was going to be Kendall's brother for the rest of his life!

"That means your family hurt her."

Dylan remained silent for a while before saying, "Nelson, I told you already. No one can hurt Kendall while I'm around. No one can make her suffer. Your family entrusted her to me. I will love her, cherish

her, and protect her for the rest of our lives."

Nelson stared at Dylan. The pause before Dylan's reply was more than enough to confirm Nelson's suspicions. The Colemans' family elders did something to Kendall that hurt her.

He knew very well who the culprit would be. No one else, apart from Tilly, would be able to stand up against Dylan.

Fortunately, the loving couple was still going strong now.

It meant that the crisis had been resolved.

"I'm glad that everything's fine. I trust that you'll keep Kendall happy."

Now that Nelson had his answer, he didn't bother asking any further. There was no point in asking anyway. Dylan was dead set on remaining silent about it. He wouldn't be getting an answer, not even if he pressed for hours and hours.

As long as Kendall's marriage is no longer in danger.

"By the way, Dylan, I'm Kendall's brother. Even though we're not related by blood, I still consider her my sister, and she has always treated me as her brother. You don't need to keep your guard up against me like I'm some kind of predator."

"I'm not keeping my guard up against you," Dylan refuted coolly.

Nelson snorted, but he couldn't be bothered to expose Dylan's lies.

Dylan wasn't offended by Nelson's reaction.

He knew that Nelson was only worried about Kendall.

"That's all. You can go back now. Since you're all busy, you don't need to come all that often. I'm almost fully recovered anyway. I'll probably be discharged from the hospital in a few days."
