Playing hard to get? Kimberly bit her lower lip and retracted her hands.
"What makes you think I have tfor that?" she asked.
"You don't?" Maddox's eyes were fixed on her, and his tone was a little aggressive.
Kimberly pursed her lips and stared straight into Maddox's eyes.
She said, "Why are you bringing up all the stuff I did when I was drugged? I couldn't think straight. That's why I did all that." "Oh?" Maddox's thin lips curled into a smirk. Suddenly, he reached out and pulled Kimberly into his arms, his other hand pressing on the back of her head. They were so close that they could feel each other's heartbeats. He said, "You couldn't think straight? Tell me, why did you reject Benedict? Just say that you like me." At that moment, Kimberly froze like she was struck by lightning. She glanced at Maddox's thick brows, her gaze going over his alluring eyes, his sharp nose, and landed on his thin lips. Her heart was racing. The two of them were so close. Kimberly could see the emotions lurking in the depths of his pupils.
Kimberly looked at him blankly. She felt her soul being sucked into Maddox's deep eyes. "What about you?" she suddenly asked.
Maddox was stunned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKimberly looked at him and repeated, "Do you like me?" Maddox's brows twitched as he narrowed his eyes.
Kimberly took a deep breath and gazed at him calmly, adding, "I won't fall for someone who doesn't love me. If you don't have feelings for me, why should I have feelings for you?" "Oh." Maddox smiled disdainfully and said, "So, this is why you won't say you like me. The moment you choseover Benedict, you knew your heart's desire, right?" She sighed, "Yes, I know what my heart wants. But, I know what my goal is. Now that I've done it with you, it doesn't matter if I do it again. Do you understand me?" Kimberly knew that Maddox didn't like her.
He would never accept her just because of her child.
So... she must not show any sign of affection for Maddox. Otherwise, it would be a never-ending cycle of shand humiliation.
Maddox tightened his grip on her neck. He pulled her even closer to him, and she could feel him boiling with anger on the inside.
"Do you like making fun of me?" Kimberly pursed her lips and replied seriously, "I'm just telling the truth." Maddox was breathing rapidly as he fixed his dark eyes on Kimberly. Suddenly, he smiled indifferently and warned, "Well, you'd better maintain this frof mind until we get the divorce. If I catch you having affairs with other guys before then, you'll pay for it." She responded, "Don't worry, I won't bring shto the Yardley Family. But if you really think that I'm useless staying by your side, we can prepare for the divorce tomorrow..." "Enough! Get out of my face." Maddox interrupted her rudely before she could finish.
After pausing for a moment, Kimberly pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay, I will be in the other room if you need me." Then, she turned and left the room. Her footsteps were light, and she left the room without hesitation.
Maddox looked at her leaving, his lips arching into a smirk.
She was such a heartless and ungrateful woman.
She had totally forgotten about the help he had given her.
D*mn it! Kimberly went to the other room and noticed Maddox's clothes strewn over the floor. She stared at them for a while and then went to sleep.
At the banquet, Sylvia had been waiting for ages for Maddox. She had no idea what was going on. She had also noticed that Benedict was nowhere to be found. Her win at the contest was meaningless. She stopped all the empty talks with everyone and went straight to the changing rooms.
In the changing room, she heard an argument. Sear*ch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
"Agnes, if she's really Maddox's wife, what's going to happen to us? We're so dead." "What are you afraid of?" Agnes huffed, trying to suppress her anger, "To be honest, I was frightened. But when I think about it, Young Master Yardley was not that angry. Who cares if she's his wife? He doesn't love her anyway. Don't you remember? He demoted her to be one of us." "Even if Young Master Yardley doesn't love her, what about Vice President Yardley? One way or another, I'm worried about my future. Will we be fired tomorrow? We shouldn't have helped Sister Winna." The more Sylvia listened on, the more she felt uneasy. She followed the voices and reached a door, which she promptly kicked open.
"What are you talking about?" Both Agnes and Lydia were shocked. Sylvia had suddenly barged in to their conversation, and they were taken aback.
"What are you doing?" Lydia asked as she hid behind Agnes, afraid, "You're that woman's friend, right? We... We didn't want to hurt her. Plus, she is fine! Someone helped her out of the mess." "You didn't want to hurt her? Who did you hurt?" Sylvia paused for a moment before finally realizing they were talking about Kimberly. No wonder she was nowhere to be found. Sylvia then stepped forward and asked fiercely, "What did you do to her?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAgnes defended themselves, "Who Gyve cares if you're a part of the Hanover family? We are not afraid of you. We were asked to put drugs in that woman's drink and hand her to our department manager. However, Vice President Yardley interfered and Young Master Yardley appeared. Now that you know everything, can you let us go?" After saying that, Agnes pushed Lydia towards the exit.
"Stop!" Sylvia roared.
Agnes frowned, "What else do you want? What else can you do to us?" Sylvia sneered and said, "Did you just say that... Young Master Yardley took her away?" "Yeah, what's wrong?" said Agnes.
Hearing this, there was a hint of sorrow in Sylvia's eyes. After she had won the competition, she had waited for Maddox for so long. It turned out he had gone for Kimberly instead. No! This meant that Maddox was interested in Kimberly. They both had feelings for each other, but neither of them wanted to admit it.
If things continued this way, how could Kimberly leave Maddox in the future? If Kimberly didn't leave Maddox, how could she be with Maddox?
When Sylvia thought of this, she becirritated. She reached ton grab both Agnes' and Lydia's hairs and slammed their heads against the wall. "Ah!" The two of them screamed in pain. Sylvia's expression was extremely terrifying.
"You'll pay for what you did!" threatened Sylvia.
