Chapter 186
"You can''t run away." Lincoln held her slender wrist. His voice was low as he said, "Everyone is at
the banquet tonight. After the swimmingpetition, there will be more activities. Even if you try to
escape, no one wille and save you. Obey me, and I will be gentle to you."
"Let me go!" Kimberly shook his hand off forcefully and took a few steps back.
She thought in panic, "What''s wrong with me? Why do my limbs feel so weak?"
Kimberly looked at her trembling fingers, and her fair cheeks were getting redder.
A constant stream of hot air rose from her lower abdomen. This feeling... felt very familiar.
It was the same feeling as when Chandler had locked her up in the roomst time!
Was she drugged again?
As soon as she thought of this, Kimberly felt extremely desperate.
Lincoln added, "I kept convincing you to be with me, but since you didn''t want to, I have to use this
strategy. You know... I like you very much. As long as you obey me today, I promise that no one in
the department will dare to bully you in the future. What do you think?"
Kimberly leaned against the cold wall. She pinched her thigh hard to wake herself up. Then, she
noticed Lincoln walking towards her. He was unbuttoning his shirt, and his eyes were full of lust.
They seemed to be shining like a beast''s eyes in the dark room.
No...
She couldn''t lose her dignity here.
If she was really defiled by Lincoln, Maddox would only look at her with even more disgust. He
would feel that she was even dirtier!
No!
Absolutely not!
Before Lincoln coulde any closer, Kimberly used all her strength to push him away.
She seethed, "If you dare toy a finger on me, I will never let you go."
Lincoln had assumed that she had no strength left, so her strong push startled him. He fell onto the
floor in shock.
He blurted in confusion, "Hey, why hasn''t the drug worked yet? Why are you still so strong?"
Kimberly frowned and said, "You drugged me?"
He replied, "Don''t me me. You were so stubborn, so I had to use some extraordinary means."
"Despicable!" Kimberly bit her lower lip and shouted at Lincoln, using all her remaining
consciousness, "Don''t you know that I''m in a rtionship with Maddox?"
Lincoln was stunned and he asked, "What did you say? Young Master Yardley?" "Do you really
think that just because I''m demoted, it means he doesn''t want me?" Kimberly leaned against the
wall, panting hard and staring at Lincoln as she spoke, "If he really doesn''t want me, why didn''t he
fire me instead?"
Lincoln was taken aback by her words and did not respond for a long time.
Then, he said cautiously, "What do you mean? Do you mean... you really are together with Young
Master Yardley?"
"That''s right!" said Kimberly.
In order to save herself, Kimberly went all out. She bit her lower lip and continued, "He is just angry
with me and wants to show his temper by demoting me. If he really doesn''t want to see me, he
wouldn''t have let me stay. He demoted me so that he can get me back to him one day!"
Although Kimberly did not believe these words, that was all she coulde up with at that moment.
In such a shabby ce, everyone was busy attending the banquet and no one woulde to save
her, no matter how loud she screamed.
"Are you serious?" Lincoln was still stunned. If what Kimberly said was true, then he could never
touch her.
If Lincoln did, he might not be able to keep his job at the Yardley Corporation.
She spoke again, "If you let me out of here safely, I can pretend that nothing happened. I won''t
expose you. I will only be your subordinate. But if you touch me... I swear, even if I die, I will pull you
down from your position. Are you willing to risk everything just for me?"
Lincoln suddenly became silent. He closed his eyes, deep in thought.
"Don''t be fooled by her. She''s been in our department for a long time. If someone really cared about
her, why would she be sent to you?" A voice suddenly boomed through the darkness. It was Lydia.
She was sent to watch the door from outside.
She could hear everything that was happening on the inside.
She was afraid that Lincoln would fall into Kimberly''s trap, so she quickly said something.
Lincoln paused for a moment and nodded, "That''s right. If Young Master Yardley really cared for
you, how could he not even look at you? You are lying!"
"I''m not lying to you!" Kimberly shouted, "Anyway, I said what I said. Think about it carefully! Do you
want your future or me?"
Lydia said, "Lincoln, you don''t need to make a choice. You can get both. Don''t forget that Sister
Winna is on your side. You won''t lose your position."
"Who does Winna think she is?" Kimberly sneered in response, "Is she more powerful than
Maddox?"
Lincoln was now utterly torn in between.
Kimberly couldn''t wait any longer. She felt the hot air in her lower abdomen taking over her body. If
she had dragged this along any longer, she might even lose consciousness.
D*mn it!
Kimberly bit two of her fingertips to keep herself awake.
She then walked towards the door slowly and said, "Lincoln, you have a good position and status at
thepany. You can get any woman at this banquet. Don''t lose all of this because of me. Help me
open the door."
"Don''t listen to her! This is your only chance. If you miss it, you won''t have another chance! Lincoln!"
reminded Lydia in a hurry.
Lincoln also came back to his senses after hearing this.
He thought to himself, "That''s right. I''ve been thinking about this woman for so long. I waited so long
for this banquet to have my chance with her. If I let her go like this..."
Lydia added, "Besides, if you sleep with her tonight, she will be filthy. Even if she really had
something going on with Young Master Yardley, he wouldn''t want a dirty woman like her. You don''t
have to be afraid of her at all."
Kimberly''s face nched at this. She walked to the door quickly and hurried to open it. Lincoln also
reacted quickly. He rushed forward and hugged her,ughing menacingly.
He said, "Lydia''s right. If you dare to talk nonsense, I''ll say that you seduced me. By then, Young
Master Yardley won''t do anything to me."
"Ah, let me go!" Kimberly yelled as she raised her hand and pushed back. Lincoln snorted and
grabbed her shoulders, pulling off her thin gauze shawl and revealing her snow-white skin.
Lincoln was shocked by the scene. He couldn''t open his eyes.
"Kimberly..." Lincoln swallowed his saliva unconsciously and whispered in a daze, "As long as you
are obedient, I promise I''ll give you whatever you want!"
Kimberly couldn''t open the door, so she could only run to the other side of the table and warned,
"Don''te over."
Outside, Lydia heard what was happening and she curled her lips proudly.
On the other hand, the atmosphere outside was riveting.
Vera had been swimming for a long time, but she did not see Kimberly on the shore. She lost her
focus and Sylvia took over her.
"Didn''t you say you would win me? Why did you suddenly slow down? Were you tired?" jeered
Sylvia.
After hearing what she said, Vera nced at her and said coldly, "Stop being arrogant. Did you not
realize that Kimberly is missing?"

Sylvia paused and looked around. Indeed, she couldn''t see Kimberly anywhere.
