Chapter 278
"So you gave Young Master Yardley a chance and you will wait for him to give you a satisfactory
answer?"
Speaking of this, Kimberly''s eyes became indifferent. "It''s been a few days, we still can''t say for
sure."
"Don''t worry. Since he told you to believe him, you should give him some time."
Vera blinked her eyes and began to analyze the situation with her intuition.
"You see, I''ve told you before that Sylvia is a b*tch, right? Hence, if I tell you that Maddox really likes
you, it means that he really does."
Kimberly was lost for words.
Kimberly felt ufortable when she heard Vera condemning Sylvia as a b*tch. She frowned and
was about to speak up when Vera stated, "Stop refuting my words. She has already done it. If you
insist on speaking up for her, I won''t help you anymore in the future."
Upon hearing this, Kimberly couldn''t help but heave a sigh. "In fact... I don''t even know what is the
truth."
"Whatever the truth is, she''s still at fault. She wore the earrings that Young Master Yardley bought,
didn''t she? No matter what she says, she can''t white- wash her mistakes. Kimberly, you should
open your eyes and stop using past memories to whitewash her mistakes. Perhaps both of you
used to be very close, but I am telling you the truth. There has never been someone who would
change drastically. It''s possible that she approached you with a purpose from the beginning."
Kimberly queried, "She got close to me with a purpose from the beginning?"
"Yes! You have known each other since college. Back then, she must have seen something on you
that would benefit her."
When she was in college, she had something that could benefit Sylvia?
Kimberly contemted it for a long time and shook her head in distress. "I''ve never had anything
that could bring her any benefits. It''s impossible for her to do this."
"You might not think that way, as you were unaware, but she had it in her mind. Just like when you
got married to Young Master Yardley, she tried to snatch him away from you. Kimberly, if you didn''t
take a fancy to those earrings, would you have known that Sylvia was doing these things behind
your back? Maybe... she has taken away a lot of things from you, but you were only able to find out
this time."
Kimberly didn''t know how to react.
"That''s too much of a conspiracy. Perhaps she happened to like Maddox, therefore she had to..."
"You''re extremely annoying! How long are you going tofort yourself with these? How can you
still protect her in such a situation? Kimberly, do you want me to p you so that you will wake up?
Or will you wake up only when she takes everything away from you?"
Kimberly gawked at her, Vera''s face was full of anger. She was raging because she was upset
about this matter.
The two of them locked gazes. Kimberly suddenly lowered her eyes, and she didn''t seem mad at
all.
"Even so, how can I believe it? How could my good friend who has been with me all this time be
such a person? She has always been helping me in the past."
Sylvia had been doing everything for her all the time, including helping her to look for that man from
the rainy night.
Moreover, she always gave her advice and even hoped that she could have a happy life and tried to
matchmake her and Benedict. She didn''t want to believe that Sylvia had done it all on purpose.
Vera instantly became silent.
She sat down beside Kimberly and felt that she understood Kimberly''s feelings.
Yes, they had been good friends for many years. No one could possibly believe that her friend had
betrayed her.
Unless she heard Sylvia admitting it in person.
However, that woman was so cunning that it was impossible for her to admit it.
When she pondered about it, Vera sighed. "I know you feel bad about it, yet what you see is not
necessarily the truth, and there must be a reason behind this. There might be a lot of reasons for
Sylvia to act in this manner. No matter what the result is, you have to ept it. I came here today to
see how you''re doing. Since I know that you are safe now, it''s time for me to go back."
After hearing that she was going to leave, Kimberly immediately became anxious. "Are you going
back? I wanted to ask you to stay for dinner."
Vera smiled faintly. "Do you think I don''t want to stay for dinner? But I have to go back to work. I''m
not like you! I didn''t get to find myself a person to take care of my every need. I didn''t get to meet
any good one at the anniversary banquet back then all because of you! If it wasn''t for saving you, I
would have already won the championship, and I would have been under the spotlight; all the
outstanding men could acknowledge my existence. Maybe... I would probably be in a rtionship
now?"
Kimberly seriouslymented after listening, "What a great and wild imagination."
"Screw you. I''ll leave first. I''lle back to you another day."
After Vera left, Kimberly was lost in thoughts alone.
She really did not believe that Sylvia approached her with purpose. She even thought that since
they loved each other, she would be the one to leave.
Nheless, she didn''t expect...
Kimberly lowered her eyes and her thoughts had drifted back to the past.
When Maddox returned, the room was empty. A few maids were tidying the table. They gathered
together and whispered into each other''s ears.
In the past, Kimberly would be talking andughing with them at this time.
It was a regr scene when he came back every day, yet this day she was out of sight.
"Young Master, you are back," Sarah came forward and greeted respectfully.
His heart was greatly disheartened when he did not see Kimberly. He pursed his lips and looked at
Sarah.
Sarah knew what he was going to ask, thus she exined, "Young Madam seems to have no
appetite today, so she went back to her room to rest. She seems to be under the weather."
He frowned when he heard that. Didn''t Verae over to visit her? Why was she still under the
weather?
As he thought of this, he nodded and replied, "Okay. You can all go back first."
"Yes, Young Master."

He entered the room. It was all dark inside. He frowned and tried to look for the switches. When he
switched on the light, he found that there was no one in the room.
It was an empty room as if no one had ever lived here.
At that moment, a thought shed in his mind.
That was... Kimberly ran away!
His temperament abruptly changed, and all the veins on his forehead protruded. He turned his
wheelchair around and went out of the room angrily.
This d*mn woman actually wanted to run away again? Did she think that she could escape?
Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, his speed was exceedingly fast and he disappeared from
the room in an instant.
He went straight to find her. When he went out, he was extremely upset, failing to notice a figure
sitting on a bench not far from the beach. Kimberly sat there, quietly holding her knees and looking
at the sea in the dark.
The sea under the moonlight was even more charming than the daytime. The bright moon reflected
on the surface of the sea, and it felt like the sky merging with the ocean.
