Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"I'm calling you!" Vera covered her cheek with her hand and took a step forward. Sylvia took a step backwards and said, "You had that slap coming. From now on, get out of my way. I'm the Hanover family's eldest daughter. You would be dead if you mess with me." Without thinking, Vera charged forward and slapped Sylvia hard.

Vera was agile and fast. Sylvia didn't see her coming until she felt the searing pain on her face.

She exclaimed, "How dare you?" "Because I can," Vera hissed at her.

Sylvia covered her face and glared menacingly at her. She wanted to tear her apart. Then, she threatened, "Don't think I won't do anything to you just because you're Kimberly's friend." Vera scoffed, "I bet. After all. you can even seduce your best friend's husband. As for an ordinary friend of your best friend like me, I am sure you would attackeven more ruthlessly. Am I right?" When Sylvia heard that, her face fell. "What are you talking about? Since when I seduced her husband? I can't understand your nonsense." "Oh, you don't understand me?" Vera wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and sneered, "Of course, you don't understand. After all, you pretended to be close to Kimberly and faked your innocence in front of Young Master Yardley. You just want to seduce him, right? That's why you purposely dress like this to meet him. Do you think I can't see through your pretense?" Vera was going all out against Sylvia.

At first, Vera was suspicious about her. Later, when she saw her coming back with Maddox, she could see the joy glistening in her eyes. Since then, Vera knew very well that Sylvia wanted to seduce Maddox. Sylvia argued, "What did you see? That's all in your imagination. You should at least have enough evidence before accusing me. You're blatantly framing me. Since there's no proof, I'm innocent." "I knew it. I knew you would deny," Vera sneered. Then, she raised her phone in her hand and smirked, saying, "I took spictures of you and Maddox together and sent them to Kimberly. Guess what she will think of you when she sees them. Can you still be friends by then?" When Sylvia heard this, her expression becawful and she seethed, "What the hell are you doing?" She stepped forward and tried to take Vera's phone away, but Vera took a step back and scoffed, "What are you panicking about? Aren't you innocent?" Sylvia tried to calm herself down and said, "So what? I'm trustworthy. Besides, Kimberly wouldn't believe you." "Okay, let's wait and see." Vera kept her phone away and shot Sylvia a fierce glare. After that, she promptly left the scene. When Kimberly got up from her seat to make a cup of tea, she heard her phone buzzing. Thus, she fished her phone out of her pocket to check the notification. When she saw the video that Vera had sent, Kimberly froze instantly. She didn't realize that the hot water in the cup was overflowing.

She felt a stinging pain in her hand and suddenly cback to her senses. She quickly put the cup down to check on her hand. As expected, it was scalded by the hot water. S~EaRch the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

After thinking for a while, Kimberly applied cold water to her hand. She then applied sointment on the burnt area and returned to work not long after.

As soon as she sat down, Vera's message popped up again.

"I know that you don't want to believenow, but please, watch this video. I was right. You can trustthis time." Kimberly stared at the text in silence. When she was about to reply, she received a call from Sylvia.

Kimberly's hand trembled slightly when she saw Sylvia's non the screen, dropping her phone on the table without answering the call. However, it continued to ring incessantly. After a long time, Kimberly finally picked up the call.

"Hello?" "Kimberly." Kimberly remained silent. She wanted to listen to what Sylvia had to say. "I'm sorry, Kimberly." Sylvia sounded distressed and somewhat aggrieved as she spoke, "Did Vera send you anything? Whatever it is, don't believe her. We are besties. You are like a sister to me. Even if the whole world turned their backs on you, I would still be by your side." Hearing this, Kimberly forced a smile. When she was about to speak, she noticed that her throat had tightened and she couldn't get a word out. Sylvia continued, "Letpick you up when you get off work. Let's have a talk, okay?" In the end, Kimberly agreed to it.

Later, Maddox called Kimberly into his office. He handed her a proposal and asked for her opinion on it. When Kimberly took the proposal, she was a little surprised. Maddox had never asked for her opinions before, but today...

"What's wrong?" Maddox raised his eye to peer at her. "Is there a problem?" Kimberly cto her senses and lifted her eyes towards Maddox. She shook her head silently and started reading the proposal.

Someone knocked the door.

"Cin." The door of the office was pushed open, and a tall figure entered the room. It was Benedict.

Kimberly still had her head buried in the proposal. She didn't notice who had cin.

When Benedict walked in, he spotted Kimberly. There was a trace of gloom in his unblinking eyes, but it was soon covered by a wave of gentleness. He then walked towards Maddox calmly.

"Maddox." Kimberly suddenly heard Benedict's voice and she raised her head quickly.

Maddox wasn't looking at Benedict. Instead, he was observing Kimberly out of the corner of his eyes. Hem wanted to see how she would react. Who would have thought that she would raise her head to look at Benedict? All of the sudden, Maddox felt unhappy as he clenched his fist.

After Benedict's and Kimberly's eyes met for a moment, she lowered her head again. She had refused to work as Benedic as Benedict's secretary but accepted Maddox's promotion. Now that she Magrefused was in Maddox's office, what would Benedict think of her? She wondered if he would assher to be biased.

"What do you need?" There were no emotions in Maddox's voice, and his eyes were piercing as he stared at Benedict.

Benedict's gaze swept across Kimberly's face, and then he turned to Maddox.

"I'm here to submit the documents." Benedict stepped forward and put the documents on Maddox's table.

Maddox stared at the documents and sneered, "When did you start submitting documents in person? Or are you here for someone else?" Hearing this, Kimberly felt helpless.

She had remained silent all the while. Why was she suddenly involved? Maddox had always been hostile towards Benedict. They were not bound by blood. Kimberly could understand Maddox's feelings, but she didn't want to be involved.

Benedict smiled faintly and answered, "Maddox, you've misunderstood. It's just that mym secretary happens to be occupied, so I chere in person. Take a look at the documents. If there's no problem, sign it.' Maddox sat still as he stared at Benedict unwaveringly. Benedict added, "By the way, I thought you demoted Kimberly? I felt the need to take care of her, so I transferred her to be my secretary." X
