Chapter 75
"Why would he expose your lies?" Maddox Yardley asked coldly.
Kimberly Shell frowned slightly, but she couldn't figure it out. "If it was him who had arranged the marriage, why didn't he reveal the truth when he found out that I was not Erica Shell?"
"Ha." Maddox snorted as he looked up at her with a smile on his face. He glanced at Kimberly as if he was looking at an idiot. "Can't you piece the puzzles together yet? What a fool."
"I..." Kimberly was irked at the mockery. Her face was filled with displeasure and she replied, "Must you speak like this?"
"Do I need to be kind to a woman like you?" Maddox asked.
Kimberly said, "Am I such a vain, scheming, and brainless woman in your eyes?"
Maddox smirked and his gaze was filled with derision. "Seems like you know yourself well."
Hearing what he said, Kimberly clenched her fists and glared at him. "Then how could a scheming woman be brainless? Maddox, your words are a little contradictory, aren't they?"
Maddox's eyelids twitched and he narrowed his eyes intimidatingly.
This d*mned woman!
He suddenly looked up at her with a sharp gaze. "Say that again?" Maddox threatened.
Kimberly was shocked by his sudden sharp gaze, so she instinctively shrank her shoulders. However, her glance did not waver.
"Ha." Maddox sneered. Was this woman an idiot? She was obviously afraid, but she insisted on looking into his eyes.
"Don't provoke me if you don't have the guts to," Maddox said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator doors opened with a ding.
Kimberly was furious and she walked out of the elevator alone.
Maddox's eyebrows twitched. However, just as he was about to scold her, Kimberly suddenly stopped in her tracks. Then, she turned around and looked at Maddox.
Their eyes met. Maddox saw the confusion in Kimberly's eyes.
"Oh, this woman really doesn't know how to hide her emotions." he thought.
Everything that was in her mind was clearly reflected on her face and eyes.
Kimberly bit her lower lip and stared at Maddox for a moment. She then slowly turned around.
Maddox smirked, and his dark eyes became more threatening. Just as he thought that she would come over and push him again, Kimberly grimaced at him and said angrily, "I don't have the guts. Come out by yourself if you are able to do so." Maddox's face turned livid at that instant. Kimberly ignored him, turned around and left.
"D*mn woman, come back!" Maddox yelled when he saw that she had turned around and left. She even grimaced at him before she left. Did she really think that it was wise to provoke him?
Thinking of this, Maddox quickly wheeled himself out of the elevator.
Kimberly came out of the breakfast shop alone. When she was ready to leave, she stopped and looked for Sam Sorrento. When she caught sight of him leaning against the car, she went over and patted him on the shoulder.
"Assistant Shell? Why did you come back so suddenly? Aren't you having breakfast?" Sam asked.
Kimberly was displeased, and her voice was emotionless. "I don't want to eat anymore."
"What's wrong?" Sam looked behind her and did not see Maddox. Hence, he asked, "Where is the Young Master?"
Kimberly pursed her lips and whispered, "He... might still be in the elevator. Go and check on him."
Sam heard what she said and his eyes widened in disbelief. "In the elevator? Assistant Shell? Why didn't you push the Young Master out? You... and him?"
Before Sam could reprimand Kimberly, he looked behind her back with his eyes wide open.
At the same time, Kimberly felt someone had sent a chill down her spine. Maddox was obviously staring at her coldly. Her body stiffened a little, and she took a step forward, trying to run away.
"I will make your pay if you dare to move even one more step forward," Maddox warned.
Before she could even take a step, she heard Maddox's voice, which was as cold as the voice from hell. Kimberly immediately halted and dared not move an inch.
Sam rolled his eyes and quickly walked away from the scene. He stood on the roadside and looked at them from a distance.
When Kimberly saw this, she was a little annoyed.
Her heart thumped wildly as she felt Maddox's cold aura getting closer and closer to her. She clenched her hands tightly and swiftly turned around.
"I didn't mean to treat you like that. It's because your words were too..." Before she could finish her words, Kimberly's knee hit the wheelchair. She was in so much pain that her legs went weak and she fell into Maddox's arms.
Maddox did not expect this to happen. When he saw Kimberly suddenly falling onto him, his hand subconsciously reached out to hold her.
Sam, who was standing by the side, was so shocked that his chin was going to drop.
He really didn't know whether Kimberly was stupid or just naive. How could she fall at this very moment?
Kimberly fell into Maddox's arms, and her mind was blank. She could feel that Maddox's big hand was holding her waist, and the warmth of his palm permeated her thin clothes.
"Why are you in such a hurry to throw yourself at me?"
She heard a deep voice above her head.
Kimberly suddenly looked up and her red lips touched Maddox's firm chin.
Maddox froze, and his dark eyes looked even darker now. Contrarily, Kimberly's face gradually turned pale. She wanted to push him away, but she couldn't put her hands down at all. She was worried that what had happened in the morning would occur again if she put them onto his body.
So she could only say hastily, "I didn't mean to..."
"Let... let me get up!" After apologizing, Kimberly begged in a low voice.
Maddox's eyes were as fierce as a wolf's, as he stared at her red lips.
"Didn't you do it on purpose? Was it really a coincidence? If you want to seduce me, just say it. I could just do as you wish," Maddox said as he pinched her waist and slowly tightened his grip. The temperature of his body was also slowly rising.
Kimberly's pale face suddenly turned red. She bit her lower lip as if she could feel that the crowd was looking at her. She pushed Maddox away in fear, and implored, "We are in a public place now. Don't do this. Hurry up and let go of me!"
She was flustered, and her eyes was looking around frantically, as if a serene lake was boiled and water drops were splashing around. The more she looked like that, the more he wanted to reach out and catch Maddox smirked and moved his big hand up along her waist. He suddenly moved it to her back and touched her backbone. Only then did he realize that this woman was so thin.
"Let me go!" Kimberly yelled.
It was fine as long as Kimberly didn't push him, but her push pulled Maddox back to his senses, and he pressed her back down.
Boom!
Kimberly, who had been standing with her upper body bent just now, immediately fell on top of him after Maddox pressed her down.
Kimberly was rendered speechless.
Sam, who was standing beside them, was speechless as well.
D*mn it, he couldn't bear to see it anymore.
"Young Master Yardley, even if you want to flirt with Assistant Shell, you ought to at least take a look at the place, right?" he thought.
However, he could only keep his thoughts to himself.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"What the hell are you doing!" Kimberly was so furious that she reached out her hands and slammed her clenched fists hard on Maddox's chest. Maddox reached out and grabbed her wrist effortlessly. He said, "For a woman like you who tries to seduce me at any time and place, isn't this what you crave the most?"
