Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
Chapter 588

Something clicked in Kendra’s mind at that moment, and she started laughing hysterically.

“Did Juanita promise you something? Is that why you sent me away today to shop for clothes? All these years, I thought you cared for me.

I’ve done so much for this family.

How can you be so heartless?”

“If I don’t take drastic measures, do you want to see the company collapse and go bankrupt? You’re focused on protecting Shelia but you need to think beyond that.

If not the company’s future, you have to consider what’s best for our unborn child,” Benny replied with a hint of redness creeping into his cheeks.

After a pause, he added, “I’ve been a father to Shelia for so long.

Now, it’s time for her to make a small contribution to the family.

What’s wrong with that?”

Kendra looked at him with bloodshot eyes.

“A small contribution?

Benny, do you even realize that what you’ve done could put Shelia behind bars?”

Benny said indifferently, “I talked to a lawyer.

He told me she won’t be locked up for many years.

”

Kendra was taken aback.

“Not for many years? Do you realize? If this unfolds unfavorably, Shelia’s future is in for a real rough patch! Her path in the entertainment world has come to a close!”

“Entertainment world? You keep talking about its riches, but have you ever seen her give me a dime? When she’s released, I’ll sort her out with a job, ensuring her golden years are filled with serenity.

It’s come to this juncture.

You’ve always been level-headed; you should know where I’m coming from.

I’m doing this all for our family’s sake!”

Benny didn’t want to argue with Kendra anymore and turned his back to her.

Kendra sank into the chair, a sense of helplessness washing over her.

What more words or actions could she muster at this point?

Benny had always insisted it was for the family’s sake, but it was only now that Kendra realized he never truly counted her or Shelia as part of his family.

He was only looking out for himself, ready to throw anyone aside.

Kendra thought her years of hard work had become nothing more than a joke.

Since Juanita’s return, Benny had been groveling at her feet.

Kendra felt she was disposable, always on the verge of being thrown away.

Kendra had never felt so weak and helpless, and tears began to flow.

But she had never faced a challenge she couldn’t weather.

No matter how tough or trying it got, she had always survived it.

So, this time, she wouldn’t throw in the towel so easily!

Brushing away her tears, Kendra exited the police station and called Rupert’s number on her phone.

Her voice quivered with emotion as she implored, “Rupert, you’ve got to rescue Shelia this time! I’m ready to go to any lengths for you if it means saving Shelia!”

“What’s going on? Don’t rush it.

”

Upon hearing Kendra’s story, Rupert let out a gentle chuckle.

“It’s nothing major.

It’s just a minor thing.

There’s no need for tears.

I’ve got some contacts down at the police station; I’ll see about getting Shelia out on bail.

”

“Really?” Kendra felt a surge of relief and wiped her tears.

“Are you genuinely ready to lend a hand to Shelia?”

Rupert replied casually, “I’ve told you.

I won’t overlook Shelia’s situation.

Just go home and wait for the news.

”

Kendra regained her composure.

She got up and walked confidently.
