Chapter 94
Kimberly went back to her room despondently. After entering the room, she took off her shoes and put on the indoor slippers, walking towards her bed. Feeling frustrated, she sat on her small bed and stared at the credit card blankly.
What should she do? How should she explain to Sylvia about this?
Her head ached.
A marriage between Yardley family and the Hanover family would be good, but the Yardley family was complicated...
As she pondered, Kimberly suddenly felt that the air around her turned chilly and something was wrong. She looked up and what came into her sight was a pair of dark eyes with an indifferent gaze. Kimberly was startled. She jumped and accidentally dropped the credit card. It fell on the ground.
The two looked to the credit card simultaneously. Kimberly's face turned pale in an instant. She stood up hurriedly and said, "Please listen to me!"
"Miss- Married- Twice, you're truly beyond my expectations," Maddox sneered. When he raised his head to look at her, his gaze was dark like the unknown ocean, it was terrifying.
Kimberly's pink lips quivered, "I..."
"Is this why you married into the Yardley family?" Maddox glanced at the credit card. "Hmph, the Old Master is quite generous. But are you worthy of it?" Maddox said.
Kimberly clenched her fists while biting her lower lip. "It's not what you think. Can you listen to my explanation?" she clarified.
"Well, tell me then, how did you persuade the old man to give you the money willingly? Perhaps, you can explain it to me, or... you can explain it to me by using your body." Maddox uttered as his eyes roamed at her figure.
Kimberly's face blanched at his words. "What do you mean?" she gasped.
Maddox glanced at her coldly. "Your skills in bed aren't bad, right?" he questioned.
Kimberly yelled, "Maddox Yardley, you b*stard!"
"You'd better marry me instead of the old man. That will be more legitimate!" Maddox hissed.
Kimberly couldn't bear it anymore. She shouted, "Enough! I had enough of you!"
Maddox's smirk was cold, and he said, "Have you finally had enough of it?"
Kimberly bent down and picked up the credit card from the ground. Then, she walked up to Maddox and threw the credit card at him.
"I've said that I won't ask you for a penny! The same thing, I won't take a single penny from the Yardley family. This is your grandpa's money. I'll give it back to you!" Kimberly growled.
When the credit card fell onto Maddox, Maddox held the credit card between his fingers with no expression on his face. "Woman, do you really want to give it to me? You worked hard to earn it. Are you sure?" Maddox asked.
"Yes, I'm sure!" Kimberly gnashed her teeth and said, "That's right. It is exactly like what you expected, I slept with the old master and he's very satisfied so he gave me the money. Are you happy now? Maddox Yardley, do you want to be a cuckold so badly? Just you wait, I'll grant you your wish!"
After that, Kimberly turned around and stormed towards the door.
Maddox's hand, which was holding the card, shook violently and the blue veins on his forehead were bulging. "Where are you going?" he bellowed.
Kimberly did not answer him. When she turned around, her eyes were full of tears. She really could not stand Maddox's vicious words. They had already made a deal. But he never cared about how she felt. He constantly thought that she was emotionless and would not be affected by his harsh words, hence he continued to humiliate her every time.
She just wanted to leave this room to stay away from Maddox as far as possible!
"Stop right there! If you dare to make me a cuckold, you'll be dead!" Maddox threatened. He thought of what she had said before she left, and he suddenly panicked.
However, Kimberly was currently overwhelmed by anger. She would not listen to him. His threat was in vain. When Maddox was about to chase after her, Kimberly had already run out the room. "D*mn woman, if you take one more step forward, believe it or not..." Before he could finish his vicious words, Kimberly was nowhere to be seen.
Maddox was speechless.
Probably because the commotion was too loud, the servants nearby heard it and started peeping at them.
When they saw the expression on Maddox's face, they were so scared that they retreated immediately.
"Second Young Master's expression looks terrible. How did Second Young Madam offend him?" a servant said.
"I don't know. It's just a quarrel between husband and wife, isn't it?" another servant replied.
"Second Young Madam is terrific! How dare she provoke Second Young Master?" the other servant added.
"In fact, the Second Young Master is very kind to Second Young Madam. Before that, he bought many beautiful clothes and put them in the wardrobe for the Second Young Madam. But the Second Young Madam doesn't appreciate it at all. I have never seen her wearing the clothes that the Second Young Master bought for her," the first servant continued.
"Why? Second Young Master treats her so well. Why doesn't she appreciate it?" another servant asked.
"Maybe... because Second Young Master is disabled?" the second servant uttered.
"Hush, don't talk nonsense!" said the other servants. "I'm telling the truth. Although Second Young Master is good- looking... after all, his legs are disabled. What's more, he is sexually dysfunctional. I don't think any women will ever adore him," the servant said.
Several servants were hiding behind the door and gossiping about it. They didn't notice that Maddox had reached their room in his wheelchair.
"So, despite knowing that I am around, you're still talking bad behind my back. Do you think that I am dead?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
His thunderous voice was like the judgment from hell. The face of the servants became pale in an instant. They turned around and looked at Maddox, who appeared at the door of their room.
"Second, Second Young Master..." the servant stuttered.
They were so scared out of their wits that their bodies went limp. They all knelt before Maddox, and one of them fainted out to fear!
"All of you, go and find her for me. If you can't complete the task, pack up all your things and scram out of the Yardley family tomorrow," Maddox said sternly.

In fact, Kimberly did not leave the Yardley family. She ran in the direction of the garden behind.
In the garden with dark surroundings, she hid under a big tree, sobbing and cursing Maddox.
Half a year...
She had to endure all these torments for another half a year. But how was she supposed to live within that long period? Kimberly felt hopeless for her future. Her life had come to a dead end. She leaned against the big tree and burst into tears.
"I'll cry to my heart's content for the last time. I can't cry again when I encounter problems in the future," Kimberly thought.
She was going to be a mother, hence she couldn't be enraged by Maddox's words every time.
Suddenly, a pair of warm hands touched the corner of her eyes and wiped away her tears gently. Kimberly's eyelashes trembled.
Who was it?
Kimberly heard a sigh from above her head. When she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of gloomy eyes looking at her worriedly.
Benedict?
"Why is he here?" Kimberly thought as she looked at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes. He looked different from the man he was in the daytime. At this moment, his eyes were filled with grief as if he felt sorry for her.
Did he care about her? Kimberly had never known that someone would care for her.
After all, she wasn't even cherished by her parents, so why would anyone else love her unconditionally?
"Silly girl," Benedict whispered softly and reached out to wipe away the tears in her eyes again. "If you hide away to cry, the others won't know how you feel," he comforted her.
Kimberly didn't move, but her vision and the sight of Benedict’s silhouette became blurry again. Tears welled up uncontrollably as she couldn't stand the hardship she was facing.
Benedict smiled, "You have to shout it out if you are in pain and discomfort. If you don't express it, the others will never know."
