Chapter 26
Kimberly, who was standing beside Maddox, raised her head and said loudly.
Everyone was shocked by her loud voice.
No one expected that Kimberly, who had been remaining silent after being bullied, would be
angry because of Maddox!
"Who do you think you are? Who are you to say something like this?"
Ever since she had that conversation with Old Master Yardley in the study room. Kimberly had
started to look at Maddox in a different light. She realized that his family was not treating him
sincerely. Furthermore, he called off the surgery and allowed her to keep the child.
She knew the feeling of self-abasement.
Being a paraplegic, his self-esteem must already be at an all-time low. How could someone call him
a disabled person in public?
He must be deeply hurt by those words.
"Kimberly, why can''t I say those things? I just want to persuade him to leave. Do you know how
much does your dress cost? You can''t even afford it. You couldn''t possibly ask that disabled man to
pay for you, could you?" Bianca Sleet sighed. Then, with a seemingly distressed expression on her
face, she continued, "Well, since you''ve taken care of Jonathan for so many years, I''ll ask him to
help you if you are willing to kneel down and beg me."
Kimberly was trembling in rage.
"Come on, don''t be so angry. It''s just 300,000 dors. Jonathan is willing to give me the money if I
ask it from him. After all, he loves me so much. You''re nothingpared with me."
Bianca was just a mistress in the past. Even though she had now be Jonathan''s wife, she still
wanted to show off in front of Kimberly. Seeing her arrogant demeanor, Kimberly was consumed by
anger. She raised her hand and was about to p Bianca.
"Ah!" Bianca cried out and fell backward just before Kimberly could p her. Bianca eximed, "I''m
just trying to help you. How dare you p me! Honey!"
Jonathan rushed forward to hold Bianca. She grabbed his arm and said breathlessly, "Honey, she
hit me! She''s an ungrateful person. You ought to teach her a lesson!"
Jonathan was a little embarrassed. It was obvious that Kimberly''s hand did not even reach her yet.
If he went ahead and taught Kimberly a lesson, wouldn''t that be...
"Honey, my stomach hurts. Quick. Teach her a lesson."
Jonathan felt a little helpless. He whispered, "Baby, she did not p you just now. Let''s not make
any trouble, okay? We should leave now."
Tears welled up in Bianca''s eyes. "Jonathan, are you falling back in love with her? Don''t you love
me anymore? She bullied me and my baby." Seeing this, Jonathan had no choice. He thinned his
lips and walked towards Kimberly.
Kimberly stood in the same ce and stared at Jonathan as he walked towards her. Jonathan said,
"I''m sorry, Kimberly."
Kimberly smiled bitterly and said, "Are you going to teach me a lesson?"
"I''m really sorry. But, I... must help my baby vent her anger!"
Jonathan raised his hand slowly. Kimberly bit her lower lip as tears welled up in her eyes. She said,
"What on earth did I do wrong? We were together for two whole years. How could you treat me like
this?"
Jonathan hesitated when he saw her tears. However, Bianca was urging impatiently behind him.
Then, he raised his hand to p her.
Kimberly looked at him in disbelief as his hand came closer to her face. She closed her eyes in
despair.
Tears were rolling down her cheeks.
Kimberly thought Jonathan''s p would leave her face all swollen. However, even after a long time
had passed, she still couldn''t feel anything.
"Did you ask for my permission before hitting my woman?"
Kimberly opened her eyes immediately!
Maddox was beside her. He was grabbing Jonathan''s wrist tightly.
Kimberly was not aware of his height because he was sitting in a wheelchair all the time. She
suddenly realized that he was very tall when he raised his hand to stop Jonathan from pping her.
Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, his domineering aura still persisted.
It seemed that he was more dominant than Jonathan.
"Hey, isn''t he Maddox Yardley? I''m not wrong, am I?"
"Yes! He''s the Second Young Master of the Yardley family! He''s also the President of the Yardley
Corporation, right? Oh my God!"
"I''ve heard that the Second Young Master of the Yardley family is a paraplegic. Oh my God! Why
didn''t we think of it? This man''s aura is so strong. I''m afraid that only he could have such an aura!"
"He looks so handsome. I was just about to ask who this man was. I didn''t expect that he''s the
President of Yardley Corporation! Who is the woman whom he was helping then?"
"I don''t know. I''ve never seen her before... But, she must be an important person to him, right? He''s
trying so hard to protect her!"
Kimberly could hear their chatter.
But the moment she heard their sentence, Kimberly could feel her heart thumping wildly.
Jonathan looked at Maddox nkly. He had note back to his senses yet. Sam Sorrento
stepped forward in time and pushed Jonathan''s hand away. Then, he sneered, "Would Young
Master Yardley not be able to afford a dress worth 300,000 dors? We can even afford it even if it
costs 300 million dors!" Jonathan stumbled a few steps back before he regained his bnce.
Bianca hurried forward to hold him. She said, "Honey, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"I''m fine." Jonathan was frightened by Maddox''s dark and piercing gaze. He only regained his
senses when Bianca spoke to him.
Bianca realized that Jonathan''s face was pale. She then tried to argue with Sam, "Who are you?
How dare you hit my husband? Believe it or not, I will call the police."
Sam wanted to argue with her. However, he hesitated to do so when he saw she was pregnant.
It seemed to be a privilege to be pregnant.
No one would want to argue with a pregnantdy because she might wound up ming the other
party if anything happened to her child or herself.
Sam took two steps back.
Bianca smiled proudly, her arms akimbo. She looked at Maddox, and then at Kimberly. She
sneered, "Kimberly, where did you find thisme actor? How dare he pretend to be a president
sitting in a wheelchair? Even if you were going to find someone to support you, you should at least
find someone who could y the part well. I know that you''re angry at Jonathan for abandoning
you. But, could you stop being so pretentious? Stop making up stories! I know you don''t want to pay
for the dress!"
Bianca looked at the shop assistant, who was in a daze and said, "Come here! This dress costs
300,000 dors. Didn''t they say that they could afford it? Please ask them to pay for it now. I''d like
to see if they could really afford it!"
The shop assistant came back to her senses after hearing what Bianca said. She walked towards
them.
She said, "I''m so sorry. This dress is really expensive. Please pay for it if you could really afford it."
Kimberly''s lips twitched. However, she could not spit a single word out.
Maddox did not give any response. Sam did not dare to say anything because the Young Master
chose to be silent.
"It''s so funny. I guess you can''t afford to pay for it! How dare you pretend to be a President?"
