Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 212

Maddox snorted in response and said, "You're worrying too much. The promotion is just to fool people. Kimberly is my wife. How can I possibly sit idle and let her be bullied?"

As Maddox said this, he suddenly turned his wheelchair around and moved towards Kimberly, who had the documents in her hand.

"Isn't that right, Kimberly?" he asked.

"Huh?" Before Kimberly could react, she felt a hand on her waist. Then, without a warning, Maddox pulled her into his arms. She was caught by surprise with the sudden action and fell into his embrace.

When Benedict saw this, he couldn't help clenching his fists. A trace of anger surged in his eyes.

Maddox deliberately said loudly, "It seems that my wife is very passionate today. You practically threw yourself into my arms. Then... I mustn't disappoint you."

Before Kimberly could react, Maddox pinched her chin and kissed her deeply.

The moment their lips touched, Kimberly's pupils dilated. She had forgotten to struggle and let herself go completely.

At one moment, Maddox was having a meal with Sylvia at the restaurant, and at the next, he was kissing Kimberly in front of Benedict. What did this mean? This was not to show affection or to fulfill a desire. It was just revenge!

He was doing it on purpose just because Benedict was here.

Kimberly was lost in her own thoughts for a while. When she finally came back to her senses, she tried to push Maddox away. However, his hands were already on her shoulders and he pulled them

apart.

She looked around the office. Benedict was nowhere to be seen.

Kimberly raised her hand and slapped Maddox in the face.

"B*stard."

Maddox was slapped in the face. Kimberly's fingerprints were visible on his reddening skin. With his head forced to the side, he shrugged the pain off and pursed his lips. On the inside, he was boiling with rage.

However, Kimberly was still fuming and she wanted to slap him again. But this time, just as she lifted her hands, Maddox held it in place.

She struggled a few times but failed to break free.

She was getting more and more irritated. She shouted at Maddox, "What were you trying to do? Were you using me as a tool for revenge?"

Maddox's eyes were cold and dark. He hissed in a vicious tone, "You are the first woman who ever dared to hit me."

"So what?" Kimberly bit her lower lip and said, "You humiliated me, yet you don't allow me to hit you in return? Do you think that once you reinstated me, I will be grateful to you? Let me tell you this, Maddox, I will never be! I'd rather stay in that small department and suffer than work in this awful place!"

After giving him a piece of her mind, Kimberly shoved him out of the way. Then, she turned around and ran out of the office.

When she turned around, Maddox saw her slightly red eyes, brimming with tears. He stayed there in a daze as he watched her disappear from his sight.

A moment later, he lowered his eyes.

Why was she so upset?

It wasn't that Kimberly had never lost her temper, but it was certainly a rare occurrence. After Maddox had humiliated her, she immediately grabbed her bag and left the company. It didn't matter if Maddox wanted to deduct her salary or bonus. The bottom line was that she didn't want to stay there anymore.

She decided to leave work early and head to a cafe to kill some time. When it was around the time when she would finish work, she sent a text message to Sylvia.

By the time Sylvia arrived, Kimberly had been sitting in the cafe for quite some time. Her coffee cup had been refilled numerous times.

"Kimberly," Sylvia ran in and greeted her, slightly out of breath. As she slowly approached Kimberly, she was already starting to catch her breath.

"Take a seat," Kimberly said calmly.

Sylvia sat down uneasily. She signaled for the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee. Then, she looked at Kimberly.

"Kimberly, you.... don't look very good. Are you still angry with me?"

"Angry?" Kimberly looked up at her. Sylvia was dressed very beautifully, but she was no longer wearing that dress she had worn to meet Maddox. At this moment, she was wearing a pink dress. The round collar showed off her slender neck.

Kimberly quietly looked at her up and down, and then she lowered her eyes.

"What's there to be angry about?"

"Kimberly, do you believe the video that Vera sent you?"

Sylvia bit her lip and said, "Don't believe her. She never liked me in the first place. From the moment she met me, she had a strange look in her eyes. She also accused me of wanting to seduce Young Master Yardley. I am your best friend. Why would I do that to you?"

She offered an explanation, but Kimberly remained silent.

"Kimberly, tell me. Do you really believe what she said? We are good friends. Trust me, I swear I'm not lying."

Sylvia swore she was not lying...

Kimberly's eyes flickered as she looked at Sylvia.

Sylvia paused for a moment before she raised her head and said earnestly, "I swear that I have no intentions of seducing..." "Then, what did you look for him for? What did you guys talk about?" Kimberly suddenly interrupted her. Sylvia licked her lips sheepishly and said in a weak voice, "Urn... It was nothing much."

"Didn't you say you wanted to talk about work? What do you mean by nothing much?" Kimberly knew that she sounded suspicious, but she was letting her heart do the talking. She just wanted to know Sylvia's true intentions.

"Does this mean that you really believe Vera? You're doubting me, aren't you?"

Kimberly took a deep breath and replied, "Why do you think so? I only wanted to know what you guys were talking about. Is there a problem? We used to tell each other everything. Can't I even ask what you two were talking about now?" NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Kimberly, I..."

Kimberly stared at her, and Sylvia's eyes suddenly turned red. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Kimberly was stunned.

Sylvia gasped, "I thought you would trust me, Kimberly. When I was facing difficulties, you were there to help me. Even if I treated everyone badly, I would never turn my back on you. Perhaps... my attitude towards Vera isn't that good. Maybe I am arrogant to others, but in front of you, I've always cared for you! Even if I get close to Maddox, it does not mean that I want to seduce him!"

"So... you admit that you're approaching Maddox?"

"Yes," Sylvia answered as her eyes were getting redder. "I admit that I deliberately approached Maddox, but so what? He is so mean to you. I don't like him. I want him to pay. Besides... you guys are not a real couple. The baby in your womb..."

"That's enough!" Kimberly's face became incredibly sullen as she interrupted Sylvia, "Don't mention this ever again!"

She was a little emotional. Whilst tearing up, Sylvia suddenly burst into laughter and blurted, "Why can't I talk about it? I'm saying the truth. I asked Quill to help you look for the child's father, just so you can find a sense of belonging. But look at what you are doing! He is standing right in front of you yet you don't even have the courage to acknowledge him!"
