Chapter 184

Time ticked by and the competition was soon about to start.

All the girls heard that they could also sign up for the competition, and they found out about themystery gift that they could win. Therefore, many girls went to sign up enthusiastically.

Agnes and Lydia were among them.novelbin

After registering, they saw Kimberly sitting at one side and couldn't help ridiculing her.

Agnes said, "Aren't you the newcomer from our department? Why are you sitting here,daydreaming?"

"That's right. Don't you want to take part in the competition? You must want the attention, right?"added Lydia.

Vera glared at them and growled, "What do you want?"

"Nothing. Just here to check up on her," replied Lydia.

"Are you sure you don't want to join the competition?" Agnes stared at Kimberly as she asked.

Kimberly glanced at her faintly and replied sarcastically, "Is there a rule that says I mustparticipate?"

"You!" Agnes barked and she was furious. She thought that she could make a fool out of Kimberly,but she didn't expect that Kimberly didn't want to participate at all.

"Whether Kimberly participates is none of your business. If you want to participate, go ahead. Whydo you care so much about other people?" Vera stepped in front of Kimberly like a hen protecting achick, and she stared at Agnes fiercely.

Then, Lydia mocked, "Agnes, I think she doesn't dare to take part. She's just afraid that she will loseto us. Since she's so incompetent, let's ignore her."

"Let's go!" said Agnes.

After they left, Vera said angrily, "They don't usually bully you like that, right?"

"It's nothing. It's just verbal harassment. Don't worry." Kimberly shook her head and tried to cool herdown.

After that, Maddox appeared when the competition was about to begin. Although he was sitting in awheelchair, a strong aura emanated from his body as Sam pushed him out into the open. Hishandsome face still caused a stir among the crowd.

Many girls were whispering about him in private.

They said, "Young Master Yardley is really handsome. If he is not wheelchair-bound, he must be theperfect lover."

A lady also said, "Yeah, his eyes are so beautiful. If he notices me, I think I'll get drunk in hispresence."

Another one scoffed, "What are you talking about? Don't even think about it... Although he's in awheelchair, his energy is so much more domineering than anyone else. He's not an ordinaryperson. We shouldn't have any ideas about him."

The lady agreed, "Yeah, you're right. Young Master Yardley's presence in the wheelchair isoverwhelming. If only he could stand up..."

The crowd sighed and stopped talking about him.

Maddox was the lead role in the night's event, so he was pushed to the main seat. It was verycrowded but he saw the figure in the red dress instantly. She stood out from the crowd and wasparticularly prominent.

He thought, "Hmph, that d*mn woman."

Kimberly didn't change her dress like he had asked her to. Instead, she wore it to the swimmingpool.

Maddox wondered how many men were staring at her. He thought, "Does she not know, or is shejust acting? Did she dress up like that on purpose?"

On the other hand, Kimberly subconsciously looked at Maddox once he had appeared.

When she met his gaze, Kimberly was stunned. Before she could react, Maddox's eyes swept overher lightly and then fixed on Sylvia.

Sylvia looked into Maddox's eyes and couldn't help blinking at him. She then couldn't help but smileat him very sweetly.

Sam stood behind Maddox and rolled his eyes when he saw this.

The crowd saw this too and they gossiped, "Where is Young Master Yardley looking at? He'slooking there, right?" A woman said, "Isn't that the Assistant Shell he demoted? Is Young MasterYardley still looking at her?"

Her friend chided, "You're thinking too much! She was demoted, why would he be looking at her?"

Another said, "Do you not see who is standing next to her? That's the daughter of the Hanoverfamily and Quill's sister! She's a very noble person. If Young Master Yardley wasn't disabled, theywould be a cute couple."

"That is not right. Although Young Master Yardley is disabled, he is still a top- notch person. Thedaughter of the Hanover family is good enough for him. Their family background is verycompatible," said another person.

The three of them had overheard the crowd's conversation.

Sylvia felt her ears heating up as she broke out into a sweat.

However, Vera snorted as if she didn't care.

Kimberly also felt very uncomfortable. She glanced at Sylvia out of the corner of her eye.

Sylvia stood there in her white dress, looking like an angel in the light. Her skin was as white assnow. Moreover, she was the daughter of the Hanover family. Everyone wanted to be her.

In the North City, the Hanover family was indeed worthy of the Yardley family.

Miss Hanover and Young Master Yardley really matched each other.

Thinking of this, Kimberly lowered her eyes and looked at her toes.

Unlike her... she didn't have anything. She was the daughter of the Shell family, but she was anunfavored child. She was not only divorced, but she was also carrying the child of another man.What a woman...

Anyone who got married to her would undoubtedly feel unlucky and disgusted.

"Don't think too much," Vera suddenly whispered to her. Kimberly looked up in shock and saw thesmile on Vera's lips. She comforted, "You are so much better than so many people here. Also, Inoticed that Young Master Yardley was looking at you."

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

She was right. Maddox did look at her, but then... his eyes had fallen on Sylvia.

Kimberly was worried Maddox would conjure up something with Sylvia just to make her angry.

Kimberly pursed her lips and said, "I was just thinking about who will win the competition."

Vera was stunned. After a while, she curled her lips complacently and said, "there's no doubt that I'llwin. I used to be a great swimmer."

When Sylvia heard her, she said, "You should watch out. I'm very good at swimming too, I just mightsteal your crown tonight."

Vera sneered and looked into her eyes, retorting, "You're not a staff of our company. Why would youwant to win?"

"If I can participate, then I can win. Although I'm not an employee, I won't go easy on you," Sylviadeliberately provoked her.

Vera's expression changed all of a sudden and she hissed, "Who wants you to go easy on me? Iwon't lose to a pretentious b*tch like you!"

Sylvia frowned, "Who are you calling a pretentious b*tch?"

"You," Vera replied curtly.

Kimberly quickly stopped them and said, "It's just a competition. Stop arguing. The men's game isabout to start."

There were a lot of men who took part in the competition. A group of young masters were wearingswimming trunks and standing by the swimming pool. The girls shouted wildly as soon as they hadappeared. Many of them took out their mobile phones to take pictures of them.

Ethan was standing quite close to Kimberly. When he turned around, he saw Kimberly andapproached her with a smile.

He asked, "Urn... if I win the contest, can you give me your contact number?"

Kimberly was startled by him. She looked at the smiling boy in front of her and found that he lookedvery young.

Vera blinked her eyes and thought of something. She asked, "Who are you? Why would Kimberlycare if you win?"
