Chapter 298


    Wasn''t that... Benedict Yardley?


    Kimberly frowned when she heard Vera''s suggestion to ask Benedict for help.


    "I think this is the best way. He is Maddox''s older brother. So, this means that he''s your older


    brother as well. We can only ask him for help."


    "What if I don''t want to?" Kimberly asked.


    Vera remained silent for a long time. Then, she smiled helplessly and said, "It''s fine if you don''t want


    to. I already thought that you wouldn''t agree. We''ll find another way if you don''t want to."


    "Think about another way again? Your words make so much sense to me. I''ve finally realized the


    gap between me and Sylvia. She is the daughter of the Hanover family. It''s really easy for her to


    fake a medical certificate since that family is so influential. But... we can''t make any fake cert nor


    expose her."


    Vera said, "There''s nothing we can do about it. We can''t choose which family we are born into."


    "I don''t me my family. I''m just thinking... Why do I have to be together with Maddox? I''m unfit for


    him. It''s just a coincidence for me to be together with him."


    Hearing this, Vera''s facial expression changed instantly. She grabbed Kimberly''s hand. "What do


    you mean? There''s no such thing as being ipatible with each other. The most important thing


    is that the both of you love each other! Why are you thinking so much? I think you just don''t trust


    Maddox enough. Perhaps this is rted to how you got married to him. You won''t believe what


    Sylvia said if both of you trusted each other more."


    "Yeah," Kimberly responded. She said, "I also want to... trust him unconditionally. However, I am a


    divorced woman. I trusted my ex-husband when I was married to him. But, what did I get in the


    end? I got a divorce agreement. Also, a mistress told me that she was pregnant. In the end... I was


    driven out."


    Hearing this, Vera''s mood was affected. She said in a trembling voice, "Kimberly... I know that you


    have experienced a failed marriage before, but not everyone is like your ex-husband."


    "I know. Perhaps I did something wrong. But... I just can''t walk out of the past. Also, everything is


    different now. Maddox is not the biological father of my child. Even if Sylvia is not pregnant, Maddox


    would definitely want to be together with a woman who has ever gotten married before."


    Speaking of this, Kimberly gave a wry smile and said sarcastically, "Why don''t..."


    Vera reached out her hand and covered her mouth. "Stop talking nonsense. Think about what we''re


    supposed to do today. We are going to investigate that matter. We''re not here to be dispirited," she


    chided seriously.


    "We can''t do anything if we don''t ask Benedict for help."


    "How do you know if you don''t give it a try?" Vera dragged Kimberly forward and said, "Let''s go."


    Although Vera was smart, the both of them were not influential at all. Therefore, there was nothing


    they could do. They were being rejected when they asked around for information. No one would


    care about their situation.


    Both of them did not get an answer after asking around in the hospital.


    After that, they found a noodle house and ordered two bowls of beef noodles. Vera was so hungry


    that she gulped downrge mouthfuls of soup. "We''d better ask Vice President Yardley for help if


    we have no other way. Although he likes you, he has always been a gentleman and has never


    forced you to do anything. I think..."


    "Vera," Kimberly interrupted her.


    She said seriously, "Do you know how important this matter is? If we want to ask for help from


    Benedict, maybe..."


    The rtionship between Maddox and Benedict was too controversial. They were not biological


    brothers to each other. Besides, Kimberly still remembered what Benedict said to her before.


    Benedict had told her that he wanted to take her away. Therefore, Kimberly couldn''t imagine what


    he would do if he knew what had happened.


    "But, I''ve already told him."


    "What did you say?" Kimberly thought she had heard her wrongly.


    Vera swallowed. "I sent a message to Vice President Yardley when you went to pay the bill just now.


    I told him where we were and asked him toe over."


    Hearing this, Kimberly''s facial expression changed instantly. "Why did you do this?"


    "Kimberly, we don''t have to tell Vice President Yardley the truth. We just need to ask him for help to


    investigate this matter. Why do you have to make things soplicated?"


    "It''s you who''s over-simplifying things."


    In the end, Kimberly lowered her head helplessly. Was there really no other way?


    Although Benedict seemed to be a gentleman, Kimberly felt this was not his true self. The man


    merely used a gentle facade to conceal his brutal nature.


    Benedict and Maddox were half- brothers. How could they have a good rtionship? In addition,


    Kimberly felt that Benedict was not that simple.


    He would not say that he would take Kimberly away if he was a true gentleman!

    Thinking of this, Kimberly quickly packed up her things and stood up. She said, "Stop eating. Let''s


    get out of here now."


    Hearing this, Vera''s face became pale. She said, "Why? I have already sent him a message. He will


    come soon. We will disappoint him if we leave now."


    "I don''t care. I can''t meet him. I won''t ask him for help even if I can''t find out the truth."


    "Kimberly, why are you so stubborn? Can''t you try harder for your own happiness? I wanted you to


    not have to think about anything, yet you refuse to. I want you to ask Young Master Yardley for help


    but you are unwilling to. What do you want? Do you still want to find out the truth? You''re a coward!"


    Kimberly didn''t know what to say.


    She looked at Vera in shock. She hadn''t expected Vera to call her a coward.


    "What? Am I wrong? Aren''t you a coward? You think every man is the same as your ex- husband


    just because you have experienced one failed marriage. Sylvia, who was your close friend, hurt you


    as well. So, are you not going to trust me now? Is this why you don''t trust me to ask Vice President


    Yardley for help?"


    "Vera..." Kimberly stared at her nkly. "Why do you think so?"


    "Isn''t this the truth? You went through one bad experience, so you''re too scared to move away from


    it. Am I wrong?" Vera asked.
