Kimberly was not happy when Vera described Sylvia rudely.
She said, "Vera, what are you talking about?" Vera cto her senses and said, "Oh right, I can't say that in front of you." Vera then laughed and added, "Did you cout to see your friend?" "Yes." Kimberly's expression eased up a little when she heard the word 'friend'. She looked at the bag in her hand and said, "She sentsomething." "What is it?" Vera took the bag and examined it. Suddenly, she cried out, "It's the latest LV design! Oh my, Kimberly, your friend is rich!" Kimberly didn't know anything about branded stuff, so she didn't know how much it was worth. However, she could guess by Vera's reaction that the bag was expensive. She looked at it and said, "If it's so expensive, I'd better return it." "Why? There's no need to!" Vera glanced at her and said, "Did she do something bad to you? Is that why she gave you something so valuable?" Kimberly's heart skipped a beat. She had the sthought a few seconds ago.
Although she didn't really mean it.
Sylvia had been a very close friend of hers. Although they would give each other presents, Sylvia never gave her expensive stuff. This was the first tshe got such a luxurious gift from her. "You're talking nonsense again!" Kimberly was really angry this time.
Vera said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I was just kidding. Don't be so angry." Kimberly was really angry. She turned and left. Vera quickly caught up with her and apologized, "Kimberly, don't be angry. I was just kidding. I mean no harm." Kimberly suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She saw someone familiar peeking her head into the company entrance. The security guards stopped her from entering.

Didn't she tell Kimberly to leave the Shell family? Why was she even here? Was her mother feeling sorry for her and wanted to apologize? Or was her mother just missing her because she had not gone hfor a long time? Thinking of this, Kimberly felt a little better.
While she was thinking, her mother turned around and their eyes met.
Then, with a smile on her face, Mrs. Shell quickly walked over to Kimberly.
"Vera, I saw someone I know. You should go back first." Before Kimberly's mother reached them, she handed the bag to Vera and asked her to take it into the office. Vera left when she saw the sudden change of Kimberly's expression.
Mrs. Shell soon reached Kimberly's front. There was a wide smile on her face.
She said, "Kimberly, you are really working here. They stoppedfrom entering just now." Kimberly's throat was hoarse and she couldn't make a sound. She just stared at her mother blankly.
Mrs. Shell felt a little guilty. She unconsciously avoided her eyes and coughed softly, "Um... let's find a place to talk." In a nearby cafe.
Since the area was a commercial district and in close vicinity to the Yardley Corporation, the shops around the area were very high-class. Mrs. Shell had never entered a cafe like this before. She let out a sigh of amusement when she felt the coolness from the air conditioner and the softness of the leather sofa.
"Is this the life of the rich?" Mrs. Shell asked.
Kimberly did not answer. She just took a deep breath and then took a sip of coffee.
She hoped that it could moisten her parched throat.
After a while, Mrs. Shell continued, "Kimberly, you have a better life now. Do you always go to these types of places?" In reality, Kimberly could never afford to chere. However, before she could answer, Mrs. Shell spoke again, "I am happy for you!" Kimberly choked and remained silent. When she was a child, Kimberly used to get all the love in her family. She had worked hard in every aspect to gain her mother's affection. The more Mrs. Shell thought about it, the more she couldn't hold back her emotions.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, before she expressed these emotions, Mrs. Shell glanced at her anxiously and whispered, "I thought that marrying you into the Yardley family would be bad for you, but looks like everything turned out well. Kimberly, can you givesmoney?" The emotions surging inside of Kimberly stopped abruptly and she gawked at the person in front of her.
Mrs. Shell coughed lightly and continued, "I want to move your sister to a better school so that she can get a better education. But we can't afford it, so I hope you..." "So, is this why you came?" Kimberly finally spoke to interrupt her, but there was a tremor in her voice.
"Kimberly, don't be angry. You have a better life now. Why don't we share the happiness together? This m marriage was for your sister, so these blessings should also belong to her. But now that you've been given all these, what's wrong with helping her out?" Mrs. Shell started nagging. She was worried that Kimberly would refuse.
"I thought... you cto visitbecause I haven't been hfor a long time," Kimberly murmured, her eyes turning red "Payou think that I am really happy in the Yardley family? Does what you see today makes you think that I'm enjoying my life? Have you ever thought of askingif I have been doing well? You're not concerned at all about me!" Mrs. Shell said, "It's impossible to have a bad life if you're married to the Yardley family. They're the best family in North City! Kimberly, are you trying to ignore us now that you're rich?" "The best in North City?" Kimberly chuckled, mocking herself. "If it truly is so good, why did you wantto marry into the family on behalf of Erica?" Speaking of this, Kimberly looked up at Mrs. Shell and asked, "If the Yardley family really is so great, why did you chooseinstead?" Mrs. Shell was rendered speechless. She looked at Kimberly awkwardly.
She then said, "Kimberly I didn't mean that. I wasn't thinking so much about it before. If you blme for this, I will apologize to you, okay? It's just that..." Before she could finish her words, Kimberly cut her off again.
Kimberly retorted, "I'm still your om daughter. Just because I was divorced, you wantedto marry into the Yardley family instead of Erica. At that time... were you really thinking for me, or only for Erica?" X
