Chapter 67


    Kimberly Shell thought her ears were deceiving her. That cold Maddox Yardley, how could he be


    weing them in?


    But he really did say it, and he said it to Sylvia Hanover. For a moment, Kimberly felt a little


    ufortable, but she was still happy that Sylvia was weed.


    "Sam, we''ll go to the study."


    Sam Sorrento came to his senses and said, "Ladies, please enjoy yourselves. Young Master


    Yardley and I still have some work to do."


    "Mmm." Sylvia smiled sweetly and waved to Maddox and Sam. After they left, Sylvia looked at


    Maddox''s back and said, "In fact, I think Maddox is not as terrible and cold as I had imagined him to


    be. What do you think?"


    Kimberly also stared at the tall figure in a daze. "It seems so."


    "Kimberly, you''re so lucky!"


    "Lucky?"


    "Yes, you should just forget that jerk Jonathan Lowell. You had the chance to marry a decent man


    like Maddox. Do you dare to say that you are not lucky?"


    "Am I lucky?" the corner of her lips twitched, and her smile was a little bitter.


    She didn''t know whether it was a blessing or a curse to get to marry Maddox.


    "But you''ll get divorced sooner orter. No matter how good he is, it''s no use. s."


    When it was finally time for dinner, everyone sat down at the same table. Old Master Yardley''s face


    looked horrible. But when he heard that there was a guest, his face eased a little.


    "Hello, Old Master Yardley. I''m Sylvia Hanover from Hanover Corporation."


    "Hanover Corporation?" Old Master Yardley narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is your brother Quill


    Hanover?"


    Sylvia was a little surprised. "Does Old Master Yardley know my brother?"


    There was a hint of praise in Old Master Yardley''s eyes. "Yes. I''ve seen him before. He''s a very


    promising young man."


    "Thank you for yourpliment, Old Master Yardley."


    "Maddox, you should learn more from him." Old Master Yardley suddenly spoke to Maddox.

    The people at the dinner table paused and looked at Maddox.


    Maddox raised his lips and sneered, "Are there any otherpanies bigger than Yardley


    Corporation in North City?"


    Maddox''s words made Old Master Yardley choke suddenly!


    Old Master Yardley snorted and said, "Do you think that it''s all because of you that Yardley


    Corporation is the biggest in North City?"


    Maddox''s eyes twitched slightly, and his voice became extremely cold. "Five years ago before I took


    over thepany, Yardley Corporation was just one of the top five major groups in North City. It


    became what it is today after I took over thepany. So Grandpa, tell me, why don''t you think that


    it was all my effort?"


    His words were reasonable. In addition, Maddox''s low voice had a convincing power when he


    spoke. Whatever he said were all facts, and nobody could deny it. Kimberly, who was sitting there,


    was secretly shocked when she heard this. It seemed that Maddox''s ability should not be


    underestimated.


    But... What was the reason that Old Master Yardley didn''t like him?


    Kimberly suddenly became curious about this. Why did this man and his grandfather not have a


    good rtionship?


    Sylvia praised, "It''s amazing, Grandpa Yardley. Young Master Yardley is right. It''s my brother, Quill


    Hanover, who has to learn from Young Master Yardley."


    Although the Hanover family was known as one of the top three families in North City, the Yardley


    family still possessed a higher social status than they did.


    Therefore, the Yardley family didn''t bother to associate with the other families. They were too


    determined to get rid of those who were on equal standing with them and to remain the best among


    them. "You''re too polite. Your brother is a rare talent. Ourpanies may have a chance to


    coborate in the future."


    Old Master Yardley and Sylvia chatted happily. Kimberly watched from the side and secretly envied


    her. Sylvia was really amazing. She was elegant and eloquent whenever she talked to others, unlike


    her...


    Sure enough, there was still a difference between them.


    For example, every time Old Master Yardley talked to her, he would have a gloomy expression on


    his face.


    And she didn''t know how to say something nice to make the old man happy.


    Thinking of this, Kimberly lowered her eyes and ate quietly.


    All of a sudden, a piece of roastmb appeared on her te. Kimberly raised her head and her


    eyes met Benedict''s gentle smile.


    He said to Kimberly, "You should have more meat. Sd isn''t enough to give you the nutrients that


    you need."


    This shocked the people on the table. They didn''t expect Benedict to offer food to her. Kimberly


    suddenly felt awkward and nodded. "Thank you, Benedict."


    Sylvia looked at Kimberly, "Benedict is very kind to you!"


    Kimberly bit her lower lip nervously. He was indeed kind, but...


    Maddox, who was sitting not far from her, sneered. His voice was so low that only she could hear it.


    Kimberly looked at him. She saw his deep eyes but she could not tell his emotions.


    D*mn it, he must have misunderstood her again.


    "Let''s eat." Benedict noticed that everyone had stopped eating, so he tried to ease the atmosphere.


    The ambiance was not very good, especially Kimberly, who was sitting next to Maddox. She felt as


    if she was standing at the edge of a cliff. Maddox, who was beside her, was exuding such a scary


    aura that she felt as if she was gradually being pushed off the cliff.


    "Come on, you are too thin. You should eat more." Sylvia suddenly put some food onto Kimberly''s


    te as well. Kimberly then came back to her senses and smiled at Sylvia. "Thank you."


    Kimberly thought about it and looked at Maddox. She suddenly took a piece of meat and gave it to


    Maddox. "You should eat more too."


    Her action stunned everyone.


    Even the maids beside them also stopped to look at them.


    Everyone knew!


    Maddox was a clean freak!


    He never ate anything that had been in contact with other people''s cutlery.


    And Kimberly had used her own fork to get him a piece of meat. Was she tired of living or was there


    something wrong with her?


    Old Master Yardley held his breath as he watched the scene. He narrowed his eyes slightly.


    Kimberly had also noticed the changes in her surroundings. She looked around in confusion. What


    did she do? Why did all of them look at her like that?


    Benedict smiled at Kimberly and said. "Uhm, there''s something you didn''t know about Maddox.


    He..."


    However, Maddox''s actions had stunned him before he could finish his sentence. Benedict


    immediately swallowed back his words.


    Maddox actually picked up the meat that Kimberly had just put onto his te and put it into his


    mouth!!!


    Although it was only a small action, this shocked who were there, including Old Master Yardley, and


    all the maids were dumbfounded.


    Young Master Yardley... actually ate it?


    Kimberly didn''t know that Maddox was a germaphobe, so she didn''t find it strange. She was just


    very pleased to see that Maddox was willing to eat what she had given him. She lowered her head


    and curled her lips, and her eyes were full of joy.


    When he was done, Maddox said, "Go on."


    Hearing what he said, Kimberly looked up in surprise. "What?"


    Maddox nced at his te and Kimberly soon reacted. She picked up other food and gave them


    to him. "This one?"


    "Okay." Maddox responded and continued to eat.


    "..." The maids'' jaws almost fell to the ground. Was this... the same Maddox Yardley who


    germaphobia?


    Why did his germaphobia seem to have been all of a sudden?
