Chapter 208


    "I see.1'' Sylvia tilted her head slightly, her slender neck glimmered under the sunlighting from


    the window. "Then... why don''t you join us just this once? You can just have a cup of tea or eat


    something light."


    For some reason, Kimberly nced at Maddox subconsciously.


    Maddox was expressionless. When he saw her looking at him, he raised his eyebrows. Kimberly


    pursed her lips together, feeling the anger surging within her.


    "I''ll pass. I''m already full. You two should go ahead," replied Kimberly.


    "Oh..." Sylvia looked at her with slight disappointment and asked again, "Kimberly, are you sure you


    don''t want to join us?"


    "Yes. I still have work to do. See youter." After that, Kimberly lowered her head and continued her


    work, ignoring them entirely. Sylvia turned to Maddox awkwardly and said, "Young Master Yardley,


    Kimberly doesn''t want to join..."


    "Let her be. Let''s go," Maddox uttered indifferently, his eyes darkened and his aura grew colder.


    "Alright." Sylvia nodded and looked back at Kimberly, reminding, "Kimberly, wait for our return. I''ll


    bring you some snacks."


    After that, she walked behind Maddox and happily pushed his wheelchair away. Soon, the two of


    them disappeared from sight.


    After they had left, Kimberly''s pen fell from her grip and onto the table with a ng.


    She bit her lower lip and started mumbling under her breath.


    "Kimberly, don''t think too much. Sylvia is not that kind of person. They are only heading out for


    lunch as friends. Besides, she even asked you to join. You were the one who rejected her!"


    Yes, she had rejected Sylvia''s invitation.


    But why didn''t she agree to join them? Deep down, she was obviously affected by it. She had


    wanted to join them. Then, why did she refuse?


    Kimberly couldn''t understand what she was even thinking. She was very annoyed. If she knew that


    she had actually cared about it so much, she would have tagged along.


    Kimberly sighed as shey feebly on the table. Ding-dong—


    It was the elevator. When Kimberly heard the sound, her body tensed up. She thought, "Are they


    back already?"


    Kimberly was lying on the table when she heard footsteps approaching her.


    Sam paced quickly towards Kimberly. When he saw her, he was p*ssed off at once.


    "Miss Shell, why are you still here?"


    "Huh?" Kimberly raised her head and looked at Sam, surprised. Why was he here? And since when


    did Sam start calling her Miss Shell? She had just realized the huge change in his attitude towards


    her.


    Sam questioned, "You were here the whole time, right? Do you know that Young Master Yardley


    went down for lunch?"


    Kimberly was silent for a moment. Then, she nodded, "I know."


    "Then what''s the matter with you?"


    "What''s the matter with me?" Kimberly pursed her lips unhappily and fired back.


    Sam gnashed his teeth and stepped forward, saying, "Didn''t you see who he went down with?"


    "I saw. He went with Sylvia," Kimberly answered truthfully.


    "Then, why are you still here?"


    Kimberly didn''t know what to say.

    She remained silent and frowned at Sam. His expression resembled Vera''s when she was implying


    something to her.


    Sam continued, "You are Young Master Yardley''s wife. But how could you ignore the fact that he is


    spending time alone with Miss Hanover? Aren''t you afraid that he would one day be snatched away


    by her?"


    Sam had to build up his courage for thest question. He didn''t know what consequences he would


    face for saying that to Kimberly. But he knew that if he kept quiet, Kimberly would be reced and it


    would be a terrible ending. Sam didn''t like Sylvia at all. Although she was born in a good family and


    she was beautiful, she was Kimberly''s best friend after all. So why was she doing this to her best


    friend? Sam couldn''t handle her attitude. He despised cunning women like Sylvia.


    When he had finished speaking, Kimberly''s face darkened. She frowned in displeasure and stared


    straight at Sam, "Do you know what you are talking about?"


    "Of course, I know. But don''t you realize that Miss Hanover has been getting closer to Young Master


    Yardley? To be frank, I think she''s just trying to seduce him."


    "That''s impossible!" Kimberly furiously rejected his notion without hesitation.


    "Why is it impossible?" Sam argued. He didn''t want to give in. "I am a man. I can tell that she has


    been seducing him. I know it when I see it. How can you be clearer than I am?"


    Kimberly was rendered speechless. She calmed down and continued, "Although I can''t be as clear


    about this as you do, I am a woman. I know how women seduce men. Besides, I''m more familiar


    with Sylvia. Who are you to judge her? I believe she would never do that."


    "Fine. Then what were you doing here, looking unhappy?"

    Sam gave Kimberly no chance to speak and said bluntly, "It was because you saw Young Master


    Yardley with Miss Hanover, and you got irritated, right? Well, even if she didn''t mean it that way, you


    should be careful."


    Kimberly thought to herself in incredulity, "Be careful? What for?"


    Sylvia had been her friend for so many years. How could she possibly put her guard up around


    Sylvia and treat her like a thief?


    Sam added, "It won''t hurt to keep an eye on Miss Hanover. What''s more, if she really wants to


    seduce Young Master Yardley, what would happen then? Your friendship would be over."


    Kimberly plopped onto the table again like a deted balloon. She sighed, "Sam, enough. I trust


    Sylvia. Don''t you have work to do? Go on... Hey, what are you doing?"


    Before she could finish her words, Sam had reached out and grabbed her by the arm suddenly,


    pulling her out of her seat. Without waiting for her to react, he immediately pulled her towards the


    elevator.


    "Sam, what are you doing? Let me go!" She had a bad inkling. Was Sam taking her to Maddox and


    Sylvia? She had refused to go to lunch with them. If she suddenly appeared, wouldn''t it make


    everything more awkward?


    Kimberly struggled from his grip as she thought about it, "Let go of me. If you want to stop them,


    you can go do it by yourself. Don''t take me along with you. Anyway, you are the one who insisted


    that something was wrong."


    Sam refuted, "But you are his wife. If you don''t go, who else will?"


    "I don''t care! Anyway, I won''t go." Ding-


    The elevator door opened. Kimberly was about to be dragged into the elevator. So, she quickly


    reached out and grabbed the elevator door. She wouldn''t leave no matter what.


    Sam said helplessly, "Miss Shell, I''m begging you. Pleasee with me."


    "I don''t want to!" Kimberly shook her head violently. But Sam was too strong, and she couldn''t rival


    his strength. He pulled her forcefully and in the end, she ended up in the elevator.


    The elevator door was finally closed. Kimberly could see bruises all over her arm.


    Sam touched his head in embarrassment and exined apologetically, "I''m sorry. I didn''t mean to


    hurt you. I was just... a little anxious."


    Kimberly was bruised, yet he had the nerve to say he didn''t do it on purpose?
