Female Novel
Chapter 226
Since Kimberly had nothing to say, Maddox didn't ask further.
Maneuvering the wheelchair by himself, Maddox left the room, leaving Kimberly alone. Hadn'trecovered from the shock, Kimberly let herself fell onto the bed and just lay there, eyes staring atthe ceiling in a daze.
Although she had tried hard to comfort herself that these things had nothing to do with her, shecouldn't help but feel sad.
As Kimberly closed her eyes, the images of the two of them being together filled her mind.
From that day on, again, Sylvia stopped contacting her. Kimberly did not want to take the initiative tocontact her without thinking it through first. She carried on with her life as if nothing happened.
But that wasn't the case for Maddox. He became suspicious ever since Sylvia had brought up thematter in front of him. He asked Sam to look into the matter.
When Sam heard this news, he was a little surprised. "Young Master Yardley, do you think that MissHanover..."
"She must have something to do with this. We need to rely on her to find clues about the womanfrom that night. You know what I mean." Upon hearing that, Sam finally understood and nodded,"But she is the daughter of the Hanover family. I'm afraid..."
"Just do it. You can do it the hard way when you deem necessary."
"Got it. I'm on it."
When Sam was about to leave the room, Kimberly walked in with a cup of coffee for Maddox.Seeing her expressionless face, Sam suddenly thought of something, shook his head, and left with
a sigh.
It had been long since the incident that rainy night, yet Sam still could not find the woman. Hethought there would be no end to this matter, but now a clue had popped out of nowhere.
Young Master Yardley seemed to care so much about that woman. If they really managed to findher, what would happen to Kimberly?
All of a sudden, Sam felt sorry for her.
Kimberly placed the coffee on the table without a word and left the room.
Maddox glanced at her. Not a word from him either.
The canteen was rackety during lunchtime. Kimberly usually would not bother about those people,but when she entered the canteen this time, everyone's eyes fell on her. Some of them even gave ahint of disdain, which puzzled Kimberly.
She nudged Vera, who was right beside her. "Do you feel that everyone is staring at me oddly?"
Vera looked around and nodded, "I also felt that. They even seemed to disdain you. Did you dosomething wrong again?" Kimberly's eyes went a little blank. "What did I do?"
"Let's eat first. I'll help you ask around after lunch."
Vera led her to sit down in the corner. As they sat down, they overheard the conversation at the nexttable.
"I can't believe she shows up. How dare she still came here after doing such a disgraceful thing?Shame on her."
"Disgraceful?" Kimberly thought.
She frowned slightly.
"I don't think she cares at all. I heard she slept with Young Master Yardley and Vice PresidentYardley. Judging by the way they treat her, they must be pleased with her. She even managed toget a job here. But she wasn't content sleeping with two men from Yardley Corporation, she evenseduced someone else's husband. Only an obscene person can do such a despicable thing."
Vera had just taken a bite of her lunch. Upon hearing this, she put her spoon down andreprimanded "What the hell are they talking about?"
"Hey, isn't this the mistress? What a coincidence!"
All of a sudden, a sharp female voice rang out, followed by the sound of a pair of high heelsclattering towards them. Kimberly looked up and saw Winna, the woman whom she had had aquarrel in the canteen before.
Winna taunted, "You chose to be a mistress, right? But you are so lowly. Have you ever thoughtabout your presence here in the canteen would make people lose their appetite? Can you be moreconsiderate?"
Kimberly raised her gaze slightly and refuted, "Haven't you learned your lesson last time? Are youlooking for trouble again?"
When Kimberly brought up the previous incident, Winna's expression went a little distorted. "Howdare you bring that up? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"If you're not, why did you only come today to cause trouble? Where have you been for the past fewdays?" Kimberly fired back without hesitation.
"Hey!" Winna gnashed her teeth in anger. She raised her hand and was about to hit Kimberly. In aflash, Vera stood up and stopped her. She said loudly, "What is your problem, Winna? Do you want
to hit Kimberly here in front of everyone?"
The canteen was already more rackety than usual on this day. With Winna making a scene,everyone in the canteen cast their eyes on the three of them. Everyone was on the edge of theirseats with anticipation.
"What does it have to do with you if I hit her? Didn't you hear what came out from her foul mouth?What's wrong with me hitting her? Let go!" Winna flung Vera's hand away. Vera stood in betweenthem and said firmly, "It's obviously you who's with the foul mouth here. We were just eatingpeacefully and you're the one who strode over to our table. Kimberly had no intention to talk to you,yet you came over and provoked her. How disturbing!"
"You!" Vera never held back when it came to lashing out at people. She was a short- temperedperson by nature.
Not to mention when it came to scolding people like Winna, her lash was filled with vulgar words.
Winna sneered as she crossed her arms in front of her chest, "How dare you say I was badmouthing her? She is a whore. I was just stating the fact. Besides, after doing those despicabledeeds, she'd have to brace herself for the backlash, right?"
Swish—
Kimberly, who had been sitting still all this while, suddenly stood up. She walked up to Winna with apoker face and cold eyes.
She uttered, "I'm curious. What do you mean by despicable deeds? What do you know about mebetter than I do myself?"
Vera echoed, "That's right! Are you saying that you know something about us that we don't? Areyou sure you didn't just make this whole thing up?"
Winna yelled, "You will find out about that when you head downstairs! You shameless mistress!"
Downstairs?
Vera and Kimberly looked at each other, both puzzled.
"What happened downstairs? Let's go have a look, Kimberly."
Kimberly was about to nod, but after a few thoughts, she said, "There's no hurry. Let's finish ourlunch first. Then, we will go have a look downstairs." With that, Kimberly sat back down andcontinued with her lunch unhurriedly. Vera stood blankly for a few moments before she came backto her senses. "Kimberly?"
"Sit down," Kimberly said with a calm expression.
Vera finally sat back down and continued her lunch with Kimberly.novelbin
Now, it was Winna who was startled. She couldn't believe they were still leisurely having lunch aftershe had told them something had happened downstairs.
"B*tch, are you a devil?" Winna could not help but curse.
