Chapter 1221 Just Kissing, Really

• Annabelle had thought it through—Lydia was, after all, Kendrick’s stepmother, and between them stood Kendrick’s father. If she told Kendrick directly, who knows how he’d punish Lydia in a fit of rage? That would only further strain his relationship with his father. And the grudge between Kendrick and Marvin would deepen too, which was exactly what Annabelle didn’t want.
• But she also couldn’t just let it go. Lydia had become increasingly shameless, and if Annabelle kept swallowing her anger, she’d only be the one to suffer in the end.
• So, she decided to bring the matter to the most authoritative person in the family—Grandpa. Let him stand up for her and deliver justice. What’s more, if Grandpa knew, then Kendrick’s father would know too. With the two elders stepping in, they could keep Lydia in check while sparing Kendrick the trouble of choosing between her and his family.
