Chapter 272


    Maddox got further and further away from her and he finally disappeared behind a corner.


    Kimberly withdrew her eyes and looked down at her clothes, before shifting her gaze at the calm


    sea.


    Was this all true?


    Why did it all feel so unreal?


    Twenty minutester, some servants brought her breakfast over.


    The breakfast was very sumptuous; there were pastries, sandwiches and fruits for her to choose


    from.


    The servants were very polite and respectful towards her, but they were also curious. They kept


    looking Kimberly up and down as they sent her the food.


    The two servants walked away and discussed among themselves softly.


    "Who do you think this woman is to Young Master Yardley? I haven''t seen him bring any woman


    back before after so many years working here."


    "The first woman whom he brings back to the Ocean Vi is definitely no ordinary person. We must


    serve her well and not offend her."


    "I don''t think we will offend her. She looks very nice and friendly. She''s not the kind of person who


    will make things difficult for us." "It may look like that, but who knows how she really is? Just don''t


    look around next time we go near her, and don''t ask what you shouldn''t."Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    One of the servants quipped. After all, she had already felt Kimberly looking at them weirdly. It was


    very likely that she was annoyed and dissatisfied with their constant staring.


    "I know. Let''s hurry up and leave. We should put more attention in making her lunch."


    Kimberly had no appetite, so she only chose to eat a few pieces of fruit.


    After eating, sheid on the chair for a while but she soon got bored, so she got up to look around.


    As soon as she got up, a servant came forward and asked, "What can I do for you?"


    Kimberly was stunned for a moment. When did the person appear? She didn''t even know...


    She was dumbfounded for a while before shaking her head. "Nothing. I just wanted to walk around."


    "Then I''ll show you the way, since I''m very familiar with this ce, I can introduce it to you." The


    servant looked at her with a smile, her eyes shaped like crescent moons.


    Kimberly originally wanted to refuse her advances, because her mood was not very good. She


    wasn''t fully awake yet. She was still recovering from the alcohol, and kept feeling a slight pain


    between her eyebrows. However, when she saw the servant being so enthusiastic and lovely, she


    couldn''t refuse. She nodded and said, "Okay, then I''ll have to trouble you." "No, it''s not troubling to


    me at all," the servant quickly waved her hand and walked up to her. "Please follow me."


    Kimberly followed behind her.


    As she walked along the corridor, Kimberly saw a huge courtyard filled with all kinds of flowers and


    nts. The fragrance of the flowers was lingering in the air. Kimberly couldn''t help but take another


    nce.


    The servant told her about the ce while they were walking. Kimberly followed her and soon felt


    dizzy. The ce was too big. Wouldn''t it cost a fortune to build a property so big by the ocean?


    Kimberly stared at the building in a daze.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Kimberly came to herself and smiled. "I was just thinking... how much would it cost to stay here for a


    day?"


    The servant was stunned at first, but after a while, she couldn''t help giggling.


    "What are youughing at?" Kimberly asked in confusion.


    The servant exined, "Don''t you know? This is Young Master Yardley''s private vi. You don''t


    have to pay to stay here."


    As soon as she finished speaking, Kimberly''s face turned pale. Her lips opened slightly, but she was


    rendered speechless for a long time.


    So... this whole ce, such arge property, was actually Maddox''s private vi? Yet she could still


    think about how much it would cost to stay for a day.


    She didn''t expect...


    Sure enough... Was this the difference between the both of them? He was unimaginably rich, richer


    beyond her wildest dreams. She was struggling to make ends meet at work, suffering pay cut after


    pay cut and yet he had so much.


    How could she ever attract Maddox''s attention?


    But Sylvia was different.


    She had a good family background. Although the Hanover family was not as good as the Yardley


    family, Sylvia''s identity was much better than hers.


    Thinking of this, Kimberly''s expression turned sour.


    "What''s wrong?" The servant saw her turn pale and asked nervously, "Are you ufortable


    somewhere? Do you want me to call Young Master Yardley over?"


    Kimberly was not in the mood to answer her and just shook her head, but the servant turned around


    and ran quickly to find Maddox.


    Kimberly looked at her servant and smiled helplessly. Finally, she turned around and walked away


    aimlessly.


    Maddox''s private property was such a big ce.


    A vi by the sea.


    She didn''t expect that marrying someone on behalf of her sister would result in her marrying such a


    powerful man.


    Unfortunately, no matter how splendid the scenery was, it was all just a dream.


    Maddox heard the servant''s report about Kimberly turning pale, and that she might be sick. He


    immediately followed the servant anxiously, but when they reached where Kimberly was, they


    couldn''t find her anywhere.


    "Oh, she was just here, where did she disappear to?"


    Maddox frowned. "What happened?"


    The servant shook her head and said, "Nothing happened. I just took her for a walk around the vi


    and her face suddenly became pale. I don''t know if it''s because she felt ufortable? I think


    she... just ate a few pieces of fruit for breakfast."


    Maddox''s brows furrowed even deeper. "Get a few people to look around and inform me when they


    find her."


    "Okay! I''ll go right away."


    After the servant left, Maddox pushed his wheelchair forward and looked around for her.


    In fact, Kimberly didn''t go far; she was just sitting on a nearby bench. She put her legs into the


    water and gently swayed them around, her hands behind her back. No one knew what was going


    on inside her mind.


    This was what Maddox saw when he found her.


    His anxious heart finally rxed. He approached her.


    "I heard from the servant that you didn''t look well. Did you drink too muchst night? Do you want


    me to get a doctor for you?" Kimberly did not speak, but her body paused for a moment. She looked


    at the calm sea and smiled. "Maddox, why did you bring me here?"


    Why did he bring her here?


    Maddox didn''t expect this question. At the time, he just wanted to bring her here, so he just went


    with his heart. He didn''t think too much about anything else.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "This ce is wonderful. I like it very much." Kimberly said sincerely.


    "Do you like it?" Maddox raised his brows. He had done so many things yesterday, yet she didn''t


    say she liked any of it. Now that she liked the ce, Maddox''s mood suddenly turned better and his


    thin lips curled up.


    However, his smilested less than two seconds before Kimberly continued, "Yes, I like it very


    much. It also made me see the gap between you and me very clearly."


    Speaking of this, Kimberly stood up and turned around to look at Maddox''s eyes, her voice as light


    as the breeze.


    "Maddox, I have realized that we are not from the same world."


    "What do you actually want to say?"
