Chapter 122
Kimberly was speaking very seriously. Her face was straight and sincere.
After saying that, she noticed Maddox staring at her, his eyes burning through her head. She
immediately came to her senses. When she realized what she had said, her face flushed and she
immediately bbered, "Well, now you can move by yourself. I''m going to leave, I have something
to do today."
After that, Kimberly fled the room.
When she went downstairs, she happened to meet the Old Master.
As soon as the Old Master saw her, he frowned and asked, "Erica, did you tell Miss Hanover what I
told you to tell her?"
Oh no!
Kimberly''s expression changed. She had almost forgotten about this matter. She replied quickly,
"Grandpa, I haven''t seen Sylvia recently. I''ll bring it up when I see her."
The Old Master nodded with a smile, and a glimmer of light shed in his eyes. He said, "We can''t
mess up the opportunity to cooperate with the Fisher Enterprise."
Upon hearing this, Kimberly became solemn and she nodded, "Of course."
After leaving the Yardley family, Kimberly told herself to hurry up and contact the Fisher Enterprise
today.
The Yardley Corporation.
After Kimberly went to work, she gave a call to the Fisher Enterprise.
After listening to her proposal, the other party agreed immediately. They wanted to meet up to
discuss the details.
Kimberly waited for Maddox to arrive at work and informed him about the matter. Maddox frowned
and asked, "Are you really going to handle this matter?"
Kimberly paused for a moment. She blinked her eyes and answered, "I''m your assistant, it''s only
normal that I help you with this kind of matters."
"Did you manage to get their details?" Maddox then asked.
After a pause, she nodded, "Yes."
"." Maddox fixed his eyes on her and asked, "Since you have them, do you know what kind of
person the Fisher Enterprise''s president is?"
"...Yeah," Kimberly responded with uncertainty.
The office became quiet. The only sound they heard was the window blinds being blown in the wind.
They felt a sudden drop in the temperature.
"It seems that you haven''t learned your lesson," Maddox scolded.
Before she could speak, Maddox added coldly, "If you want to go, you''ll have to go by yourself."
A sh of surprise illuminated Kimberly''s eyes. She questioned, "Are you not conning? They have
requested to speak to you."
"Oh, since when did I say I''m going to cooperate with the Fisher Enterprise?" Maddox asked in
return.
Kimberly was speechless.
So, did that mean that she had misunderstood? She opened her mouth and said feebly, "How about
the Old Master..."
"Since you''re under Old Master''s order, you can go negotiate with them, or... ask the Old Master to
go by himself," Maddox uttered sarcastically. His smile and gaze were mocking, like he was talking
to a clown. Kimberly''s face paled at his words. She bit her lower lip and asked, "So, the idea of
cooperating with the Fisher Enterprise didn''t cross your mind at all?"
"Have I ever said it did?" Maddox''s eyes were indifferent as he spoke, "Did I ever mention about the
Fisher Enterprise?"
Kimberly shivered. Her lips trembled as she replied, "No, you didn''t."
It was true. She had told Old Master about the n. Maddox never said a word. The more she
thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. He must have been annoyed when she made her
own decisions.
Thinking of this, Kimberly lowered her eyes. Her face gradually lost their colors and her voice
became lower, "I was wrong."
"Even if you make a deal, I won''t sign it. Do you understand?" He said again. Kimberly nodded,
"Since you don''t want to negotiate with them, then I won''t talk about it again. But as for the Old
Master..."
"It has nothing to do with you."
His sentence stopped Kimberly from speaking.
"I know."
She said abruptly, then turned around and went out.
Kimberly returned to her desk and looked at her pages filled with notes. These notes were all the
information she had collected in the past two days, as a preparation to cooperate with the Fisher
Enterprise. She didn''t expect that Maddox never thought of cooperating with them at all.
She held her chin and stared at theputer screen.
It looked like from the beginning, Maddox and Old Master Yardley had been against each other.
Their rtionship was worsening day by day. Old Master Yardley had really wanted to cooperate
with people who Maddox didn''t like.
Last time, Benedict had mentioned that Maddox did not live with the Yardley family when he was a
child.
All of a sudden, Kimberly was curious about Maddox''s life. When she came to her senses, she was
already browsing the Inte, searching for information on the North City''s Yardley family.
For the next few hours, Kimberly sat there researching everything to know about the Yardley family.
There was a lot of information, but all of them weremon news. For example, the Yardley
Corporation began to be influential after Maddox had taken over as the president. In other
news, they reported that Maddox was disabled. There were countless pieces of news about
Maddox, but Kimberly had already known about all of them.
In the end, just as her eyes were getting tired from staring at the screen, she saw an unusual article.
It stated that Maddox was actually an illegitimate child, the product of an affair between a man and
the mistress of a wealthy family...
However, the title waspletely different from the content.
The title led the reader to believe that Maddox was the illegitimate child of the Yardley family.
However, the content abruptly changed midway. The article suddenly pointed out that Maddox''s
mother was the original wife, and Benedict''s mother was the mistress.
The mistress had driven the original wife out of the Yardley family. Many yearster, the original wife
returned to the Yardley family and took over the position of the master of the family to exact
revenge.
The article then began discussing the conspiracy behind Maddox''s disability.
If he was not born disabled, why was he in a wheelchair and became a cripple? The article didn''t
explicitly mention it, but in instigating at something suspicious.
Seeing this, Kimberly felt a little chill run over her body. Although the person who published this
article wasn''t clear about its content, she could feel the hurt between the wealthy families. Thinking
of what Old Master Yardley had told her in the study room, she could see that Maddox was being
attacked from all directions in the Yardley family.
Then, she thought about Benedict''s gentle appearance.
Benedict, should not be.... this kind of person, right?
While she was pondering, she heard a cold voiceing from her left. She jumped, her hands
trembling.
"Is this how you spend your working hours?"
Kimberly turned her head abruptly and saw Maddox beside her.
Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, he was much taller than her. At this moment, he was
looking down at Kimberly. His eyes were sharp. He pursed his thin lips tightly, and his whole body
exuded a cold aura.

She was caught!
She blinked and looked at Maddox innocently.
How could she exin this to him?
"Well... I just took a look," Kimberly responded timidly.
It was her fault. She shouldn''t have been going through all of this at work.
As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed the mouse again. When she was about to turn
away from the page, a big and warm hand covered hers that was on the mouse.
Kimberly was caught off guard.
She looked up and bumped into Maddox''s deep eyes. Then, she heard he ask with a deep and
mellow voice,
"Do you care about me so much?"
