Chapter 25
A pair of warm and strong arms reached out and held Kimberly''s falling body.
Her surroundings seemed to be quiet down for a while. Her face was extremely pale. Then, she
opened her eyes gradually.
She saw a pair of straight and muscr legs. She finally saw who the person was when she looked
up.
The man was looking at her coldly as he pursed his lips into a thin line. His body was emitting a
dark and fierce aura. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, he still had a domineering demeanor.
The crowd was surprised as they took a few steps back. They looked at the man in shock.
Who was this person?!
Kimberly didn''t have much strength. She was still sitting on Maddox''sp, looking at him nkly.
"You... didn''t leave?"
She thought Maddox had left because she looked too ugly in those dresses. She did not expect that
he was still here.
"Aren''t you getting up?" Maddox asked in a low voice. His ck eyes were fixed on her.
Kimberly immediately came back to her senses after hearing what he said. However, the dress tore
again when she tried to get up. As the hem of the skirt was quite heavy, the dress was pulled down
when she stood up.
"I I ? ^ I.L II
I... I cant.
Maddox frowned and looked at her unhappily.
Kimberly bit her lower lip and said embarrassingly, "The dress will drop if I get up. I''ll be naked."
Maddox narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
Kimberly felt that she was really useless. Why did she get herself in such an awkward predicament
at this moment? Would Maddox ignore her and leave?

All of a sudden, her body was being covered with a coat when she was still immersed in her
thoughts. She looked up and saw Maddox gazing at her.
"You..."
"Aren''t you going to get up now?"
Kimberly pulled the coat tightly to cover her body. Maddox supported her as she slowly got up.
The warmth from his huge palms rushed through her body and into her heart. Maddox pulled his
hand back after she regained her bnce. Kimberly could not help but feel somewhat empty the
moment his hand left her body.
The masculine scent on the coat wafted into her nose. She realized she was not as nervous as
before. At this moment, she felt as if she had someone to rely on.
This was the first time in many years that she had felt protected.
"Who pushed her?"
Maddox''s voice was cold. The shop assistant had just ended the phone call. Her eyes widened in
fear when she saw how the tables had turned. Previously, she treated Kimberly politely because
she knew that she could not offend the man sitting in the wheelchair. However, she treated Kimberly
poorly when she realized the man was gone. She thought the man had abandoned her because
she did not look beautiful in any of the dresses.
However, he appeared once again. What happened?
Having remembered that she had pulled Kimberly''s dress to bnce herself, the shop assistant did
not say anything.
"Let me ask one more time. Who pushed her?"
Maddox asked in a loud and intimidating voice. Everyone was so shocked.
The man was just sitting in a wheelchair. How could he have such a strong aura?
One of the onlookers, who was mocking Kimberly earlier, was afraid that she was in trouble.
Therefore, she pointed her finger at the shop assistant and said, "It''s none of our business. It was
the shop assistant who used her loudly. So, we came here to see what''s going on."
"Yes. The shop assistant said that thisdy has ruined the dress. She even called the police."
The shop assistant, who was arrogant just now, was so scared that she didn''t dare to speak at all.
She waved her hands in panic and said, "That''s not true, sir. Thisdy fell down and tore the dress.
It''s none of my business."
Kimberly gazed down after hearing what the shop assistant had just said. It was true that she fell
down and ruined the dress. She could not me anyone.
"Is that so?" Maddox sneered in disdain. Then, he raised his voice and asked, "Did she really fall
down by herself?"
The shop assistant trembled at his cold words. Her lips twitched, but she didn''t dare to speak at all.
Bianca was displeased when she saw someone was helping Kimberly. She thought, "How did it turn
out in this way? Who is the man in the wheelchair? He''s just a disabled person. Why is he so
arrogant?"
Thinking about this, Bianca could not help but say, "Kimberly, you fell down on your own and ruined
the dress. Are you trying to me others just because someone is here to support you? It''s no
wonder that Jonathan doesn''t want to be together with you. It seems that you''re not only a
materialistic person but also an irresponsible person!"
Maddox seemed to realize something after hearing what Bianca said. He looked at Bianca
immediately.
Jonathan Lowell, who was holding Bianca in his arms, was startled by Maddox''s cold piercing gaze.
He tightened his arms around Bianca and whispered, "Baby, we should go and leave them alone."
"No way." Bianca took his arm, pouted her red lips, and said coquettishly, "Jonathan, no one is
going to help the shop assistant if we leave. It''s not her fault. Kimberly was the one who ruined the
dress. The dress costs 300,000 dors! I guess Kimberly and that guy is trying to me others."
Ever since Jonathan won the jackpot, Bianca felt that she was a rich person. They had received five
million dors in total.
Bianca was a petty person. Given that she was a pregnantdy, the privilege she enjoyed due to
her pregnancy gave her a sense ofcency. Furthermore, Jonathan had be rich and he
even divorced Kimberly to marry her. Hence, she became more and more arrogant.
Bianca looked at the man in the wheelchair and snorted, "I guess you don''t even have a job since
you''re just sitting in the wheelchair, right? Let me tell you, this is not a normal dress. It costs
300,000 dors! You ought to make sure that you can afford to pay for the dress before deciding to
help her."
After saying that, Bianca sighed, "Is anyone allowed to enter this store nowadays? Do you really
think that you can pretend to be a rich person? Please look at yourself. How much money do you
have? Kimberly, I thought you''ll find a better man after divorcing Jonathan. Ah, it turns out that your
man is just a disabled person! Your taste is so bad!"
Maddox hated it the most when others said he was a disabled person.
No one was allowed to say this even in the Yardley family.
However, Bianca said it out loud in front of everyone!
Maddox was utterly enraged now. Sam Sorrento knew that Maddox must be overwhelmed by anger
now. He was about to stop Bianca from saying... "Don''t talk about him that way!"
