Chapter 309


    No one would know what would happen before they arrived at the banquet.


    Kimberly still hadplete faith right then.


    All of a sudden, Benedict said weakly while Kimberly was dwelling on her own thoughts, "You


    should go to the banquet by yourself when we reach the destinationter. I won''t go in with you. I


    don''t want Maddox to misunderstand you."


    Hearing that, Kimberly choked. She couldn''t spit her words out. She could only nod her head.


    After that, she heard Benedict''s chuckle again.


    She bit her lower lip and looked at the car window. She happened to see the reflection of Benedict''s


    face on the window. He looked so weak and pitiful. She could also see the reflection of tears welling


    up within her own eyes. She didn''t dare to look at the reflections anymore. Therefore, she quickly


    lowered her head. The tears dropped on her dress in the end.


    The dress was made of a veil. Therefore, the tears did not leave any stain on the dress.


    There was no traffic jam at all. They arrived at the destination soon.


    "It''s here, isn''t it? There are too many people in front there, and it''s not convenient for me to drive


    there. Can we stop here?" The driver asked Benedict.


    Benedict nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, we''ll get down here."


    After saying that, he looked at Kimberly and asked, "Can you do it by yourself?"


    Kimberly nodded her head vigorously. Of course, she could. Benedict had toughed it out to send


    Kimberly there even though he was badly injured. Why couldn''t she do that?


    "Of course. But, you..."


    Benedict smiled at Kimberly gently. All of a sudden, he stretched out his hand to stroke Kimberly''s


    head. Kimberly wanted to avoid his hand. However, she seemed to have thought of something and


    stopped avoiding it. She didn''t retreat any further.


    Benedict''s hand was left hanging in the air for a moment. Then, he stroked Kimberly''s head gently


    and said, "Don''t worry. Follow your heart to do whatever you want. Don''t worry about me. I will go


    back to the hospital and take a good rest, okay?"


    "Okay," Kimberly nodded with tears welling up within her eyes. She said, "I will visit you in the


    hospital after this."


    "Well, I''ll wait for you in the hospital," Benedict said with a smile. Seeing that Kimberly''s hair was


    messy, he reached out his hand and helped her to fix a few strands of messy hair. "Although your


    hairstyle, makeup and dress are a little ruined, we don''t have time to fix them anymore. Go find


    Maddox first, do you understand?"


    "Okay, I''ll go first." Kimberly replied.


    "Be careful."


    Kimberly pushed the car door open and got out of the car carefully in her high heels. After taking a


    few steps, she couldn''t help but look back at Benedict. He was looking at her through the window.


    He was looking at her, and his affection for her was clear.


    Kimberly bit her lower lip. Forget it, she''s already there, she couldn''t possibly turn back right then.


    She had to find Maddox first.


    After making up her mind, Kimberly walked towards the crowd in front of her determinedly.


    The banquet hade to an end. Maddox was gloomy the entire time. No one dared to provoke


    him at all.


    Sam tried to stay as far away from Maddox as possible. He didn''t want to get himself into trouble.

    The longer the time passed by, the more worried Sam became. He was wondering what had


    happened to Kimberly.


    Kimberly had promised that she would attend the banquet. She even took the gown and got the


    address from Sam. She also replied to Sam''s text message. However, why did she not show up?


    What was weirder was that Sam couldn''t get through to her phone.


    Sam had a bad feeling. "Did something bad happen? Otherwise, Young Madam wouldn''t break her


    promise. Young Madam seems to really love Young Master Yardley. Even if she went to see


    Benedict tonight, she wouldn''t..."


    Thinking of that, Sam''s facial expression changed immediately. Kimberly had already reached the


    entrance at that moment. Although Benedict had tried to fix her hair, she still looked like a mess.


    How could she not look like that after getting into an ident and rushing there from the hospital?


    She was stopped by someone as soon as she was about to enter. She was stunned. She said, "I...


    am here to attend a banquet."


    The receptionists nced at her and said, "Please show us your invitation card."


    "Invitation card?"


    Kimberly was shocked. She... didn''t have an invitation card at all. Maddox only gave her a gown.


    Therefore, she didn''t think too much about it and came over directly. She didn''t expect that she


    would need an invitation card.


    It seemed reasonable that Maddox didn''t give her an invitation card. She didn''t need it at all if she


    attended the banquet with Maddox.


    "You don''t have an invitation card, do you? Well, I''m afraid we can''t let you in."


    Only influential people could attend that banquet.


    The consequences would be unimaginable if they identally let scammers or murderers go in.


    "I''m sorry, I forgot to bring the invitation card with me. I had an ident when I was on my way


    here. My belongings are all at the police station. Can you let me in?"


    Hearing that, those people looked at her carefully and found that she was in a mess. Then, they


    looked at each other. Logically speaking, people would not choose to make trouble at that hour


    because the banquet was about to end. Moreover, no one would dress up like Kimberly if they were


    really there to make trouble. The wounds on her face and arms looked real. It seemed that she


    really had an ident.


    "I''m really sorry, Miss. We sympathize with what happened to you, but you can''t go in without an


    invitation card. Please forgive us."


    Kimberly''s face turned pale. She bit her lower lip tightly.


    Did that mean that she couldn''t find Maddox anymore?


    Thinking of that, she said immediately, "I understand your situation. I won''t go in. But... could you


    please help me to send a message to Maddox?"


    Hearing Kimberly calling out Maddox''s name directly, those people were shocked.


    "How could you call Young Master Yardley''s name directly? Who are you?"


    "I..." Kimberly was so scared when they became angry. She said, "I won''t look for Maddox then.


    Could you help me ask Sam toe over here?"


    Those people looked at each other, confused, when they realized that Kimberly knew the name of


    Maddox''s assistant as well.


    "Please tell Sam that I''mte. I''m sorry, but I didn''t mean it. There''s a reason why I waste. I want


    to exin it to him."


    She said it with sincerity. Those people no longer doubted her. One of them said, "Please wait here.


    I''ll go and find Assistant Sorrento."
