Female Novel
Chapter 26
Kimberly, who was standing beside Maddox, raised her head and said loudly.
Everyone was shocked by her loud voice.
No one expected that Kimberly, who had been remaining silent after being bullied, would becomeangry because of Maddox!
"Who do you think you are? Who are you to say something like this?"
Ever since she had that conversation with Old Master Yardley in the study room. Kimberly hadstarted to look at Maddox in a different light. She realized that his family was not treating himsincerely. Furthermore, he called off the surgery and allowed her to keep the child.
She knew the feeling of self-abasement.
Being a paraplegic, his self-esteem must already be at an all-time low. How could someone call hima disabled person in public?
He must be deeply hurt by those words.
"Kimberly, why can't I say those things? I just want to persuade him to leave. Do you know howmuch does your dress cost? You can't even afford it. You couldn't possibly ask that disabled man topay for you, could you?" Bianca Sleet sighed. Then, with a seemingly distressed expression on herface, she continued, "Well, since you've taken care of Jonathan for so many years, I'll ask him tohelp you if you are willing to kneel down and beg me."
Kimberly was trembling in rage.
"Come on, don't be so angry. It's just 300,000 dollars. Jonathan is willing to give me the money if Iask it from him. After all, he loves me so much. You're nothing compared with me."
Bianca was just a mistress in the past. Even though she had now become Jonathan's wife, she stillwanted to show off in front of Kimberly. Seeing her arrogant demeanor, Kimberly was consumed byanger. She raised her hand and was about to slap Bianca.
"Ah!" Bianca cried out and fell backward just before Kimberly could slap her. Bianca exclaimed, "I'mjust trying to help you. How dare you slap me! Honey!"
Jonathan rushed forward to hold Bianca. She grabbed his arm and said breathlessly, "Honey, shehit me! She's an ungrateful person. You ought to teach her a lesson!"
Jonathan was a little embarrassed. It was obvious that Kimberly's hand did not even reach her yet.If he went ahead and taught Kimberly a lesson, wouldn't that be...
"Honey, my stomach hurts. Quick. Teach her a lesson."
Jonathan felt a little helpless. He whispered, "Baby, she did not slap you just now. Let's not makeany trouble, okay? We should leave now."
Tears welled up in Bianca's eyes. "Jonathan, are you falling back in love with her? Don't you loveme anymore? She bullied me and my baby." Seeing this, Jonathan had no choice. He thinned hislips and walked towards Kimberly.
Kimberly stood in the same place and stared at Jonathan as he walked towards her. Jonathan said,"I'm sorry, Kimberly."
Kimberly smiled bitterly and said, "Are you going to teach me a lesson?"
"I'm really sorry. But, I... must help my baby vent her anger!"
Jonathan raised his hand slowly. Kimberly bit her lower lip as tears welled up in her eyes. She said,"What on earth did I do wrong? We were together for two whole years. How could you treat me like
this?"
Jonathan hesitated when he saw her tears. However, Bianca was urging impatiently behind him.Then, he raised his hand to slap her.
Kimberly looked at him in disbelief as his hand came closer to her face. She closed her eyes indespair.
Tears were rolling down her cheeks.
Kimberly thought Jonathan's slap would leave her face all swollen. However, even after a long timehad passed, she still couldn't feel anything.
"Did you ask for my permission before hitting my woman?"
Kimberly opened her eyes immediately!
Maddox was beside her. He was grabbing Jonathan's wrist tightly.
Kimberly was not aware of his height because he was sitting in a wheelchair all the time. Shesuddenly realized that he was very tall when he raised his hand to stop Jonathan from slapping her.Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, his domineering aura still persisted.
It seemed that he was more dominant than Jonathan.
"Hey, isn't he Maddox Yardley? I'm not wrong, am I?"
"Yes! He's the Second Young Master of the Yardley family! He's also the President of the YardleyCorporation, right? Oh my God!"
"I've heard that the Second Young Master of the Yardley family is a paraplegic. Oh my God! Whydidn't we think of it? This man's aura is so strong. I'm afraid that only he could have such an aura!"
"He looks so handsome. I was just about to ask who this man was. I didn't expect that he's thePresident of Yardley Corporation! Who is the woman whom he was helping then?"
"I don't know. I've never seen her before... But, she must be an important person to him, right? He'strying so hard to protect her!"
Kimberly could hear their chatter.
But the moment she heard their sentence, Kimberly could feel her heart thumping wildly.
Jonathan looked at Maddox blankly. He had not come back to his senses yet. Sam Sorrentostepped forward in time and pushed Jonathan's hand away. Then, he sneered, "Would YoungMaster Yardley not be able to afford a dress worth 300,000 dollars? We can even afford it even if itcosts 300 million dollars!" Jonathan stumbled a few steps back before he regained his balance.Bianca hurried forward to hold him. She said, "Honey, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine." Jonathan was frightened by Maddox's dark and piercing gaze. He only regained hissenses when Bianca spoke to him.
Bianca realized that Jonathan's face was pale. She then tried to argue with Sam, "Who are you?How dare you hit my husband? Believe it or not, I will call the police."
Sam wanted to argue with her. However, he hesitated to do so when he saw she was pregnant.
It seemed to be a privilege to be pregnant.
No one would want to argue with a pregnant lady because she might wound up blaming the otherparty if anything happened to her child or herself.
Sam took two steps back.
Bianca smiled proudly, her arms akimbo. She looked at Maddox, and then at Kimberly. Shesneered, "Kimberly, where did you find this lame actor? How dare he pretend to be a presidentsitting in a wheelchair? Even if you were going to find someone to support you, you should at leastfind someone who could play the part well. I know that you're angry at Jonathan for abandoningyou. But, could you stop being so pretentious? Stop making up stories! I know you don't want to payfor the dress!"
Bianca looked at the shop assistant, who was in a daze and said, "Come here! This dress costs300,000 dollars. Didn't they say that they could afford it? Please ask them to pay for it now. I'd liketo see if they could really afford it!"
The shop assistant came back to her senses after hearing what Bianca said. She walked towardsthem.
She said, "I'm so sorry. This dress is really expensive. Please pay for it if you could really afford it."novelbin
Kimberly's lips twitched. However, she could not spit a single word out.
Maddox did not give any response. Sam did not dare to say anything because the Young Masterchose to be silent.
"It's so funny. I guess you can't afford to pay for it! How dare you pretend to be a President?"
