Chapter 268

"I... like Maddox?" Kimberly stuttered upon hearing Vera. She blinked her eyes for a long while,shaking her head. "No, I don't like him!"

"Haha, liar!"

Vera did not hesitate to tease Kimberly as she smiled, "You do like him!"

"No! I don't like him!" Kimberly pouted and refused to admit that she liked Maddox.

Although she was totally drunk, yet in her subconscious mind, liking Maddox was her secret. Shethought... she should keep it as a secret to herself for life, and no one else should know.

After all, it seemed ridiculous to fall in love with Maddox.

She was a nobody and not outstanding at all. She was not worthy of Maddox, who was among thetop of the society. It was ridiculous that a woman like her, Kimberly, who had her reputation stainedby a divorce, would like him.

Kimberly couldn't hold back her laughter until it brought tears to her eyes. Under the reflection of thelight, her teary eyes looked identical to a vast ocean.

"Ah, I seem to be looking at the ocean!" Vera suddenly exclaimed, next reached out to grabKimberly.

When she accidentally caught Kimberly's hair, Kimberly cried out in pain, "Ouch, you caught myhair."

"Is it? I'm sorry." Vera retreated her hand. "But I really saw an ocean..." She was cut off by a burp.

Having said that, Vera burped again.

Kimberly touched her painful scalp where she was pulled by Vera, then laid down on the table,immediately recalling the handsome face of Maddox.

She hated him. Why did she bother to think of Maddox at this point in time? She was so assertiveabout divorcing him but somehow could not resist thinking about him.

Unless... her affection towards Maddox was more than her hatred?

"Ringing..."

The phone on the table rang at once, but no one answered it after a long time. The two girls weredrunk and they were busy toasting. The phone rang and went silent, and then it rang again andagain.

"Ah! It's so noisy!" Finally, Vera became irritated that she shouted with anger. Subsequently, shesmashed the bottle on the table before getting up to pick up the phone, querying, "Who is it?"

The voice was full of anger!

Upon hearing the voice, Maddox couldn't help but frown.

This was obviously not Kimberly's voice. He pursed his lips and questioned coldly, "Who are you?"novelbin

"Hmm?" Vera seemed to be a little familiar with the voice. "Who am I? It has nothing to do with you.Weren't you the one who called? Burp! How dare you ask me who I am? I'll kill you!"

Maddox was utterly lost for words.

A moment later, a cold voice sounded again, "Are you Vera?"

"Hey, how do you know my name?"

"Where is Kimberly?"

"Kimberly... Who is Kimberly?" Vera burped again. She must be out of her mind.

Maddox was certain that Vera was drunk. She was holding Kimberly's phone and was saying allsorts of nonsense. Maybe Kimberly was also...

Maddox instantly turned icy, and even his tone had gotten more intense, "Tell me where she is,otherwise... your year-end bonus is gone."

Maddox did not ignore the fact that Vera loved money more than anything. In a flash, Vera reactedsubconsciously the moment she heard about money, even though she was dead drunk.

"She's here!" She stood straight and looked at Kimberly. "Kimberly... is at my house!"

Twenty minutes later.

Vera stood at the door for a long while before she opened the door. As soon as the door wasopened, she rushed forward. Maddox moved quickly and dodged to the side.

Seeing that Vera was about to fall to the ground, Sam, who was standing next to Maddox, quicklyreached out his hand to catch her. As soon as he caught her, Vera jumped into his embracevigorously, pulling his neck and arm. "Hey, how did you come so fast? Haha, you have an attractivefigure. Can I touch your abs?"

Vera, who was completely drunk, teased Sam in no time. He blushed and glanced at Maddox as hesaid nervously, "You should come down quickly."

After that, he reached out and tried to break free.

"No! Your body is so warm. I want to hug you! Haha!" Vera leaned against Sam. Her lips touchedSam's neck directly, and her body reeked of alcohol.

Maddox was expressionless and paid no attention at all. He pursed his lips and pushed thewheelchair into the room with a cold face.

He furrowed his brow as he entered the house.

The smell of alcohol filled the air, and judging from it, he knew exactly how much they drank.

D*mn it!

Shouldn't this woman be more mindful about her body condition? She didn't care about the doctor'swarning at all and came here to drink!

What a woman who was not afraid of death!

Maddox entered the room in anger. At a glance, he caught Kimberly lying on the sofa with a paleface and an agonized expression.

There were a lot of empty bottles lying on the ground next to her, as well as the remnants of thebarbecued supper and other snacks they had eaten. The whole room was a total mess.

For a man who prioritized cleanliness like Maddox, he would usually turn around and leave as soonas possible when he saw a scene like this.

However, it was different that day. That woman who was lying in this pile of trash was the reason hecame for, thus he had to get her out of here no matter what; only then he could leave.

However, the smell inside was making him really uncomfortable.

Maddox held his breath and rolled the wheels over. He moved forward, perfectly avoiding everysingle piece of garbage on the ground. In the end, he stopped in front of the sofa as Maddox staredat Kimberly indifferently.

"Hmm."

Kimberly seemed to be in pain as she covered her stomach and let out a soft cry.

Maddox frowned and he was furious to see her in such a manner. This woman didn't know how totake good care of herself at all. Why would he save her then?

He moved, turned around, and was ready to leave.

On the contrary, when he turned around, he heard Kimberly's cry again. Maddox could not take it atthat moment, and he promptly stood up and picked her up.

"Ah."

Kimberly, who had been carried up in the air, got shocked. She struggled hard and jumped down,accidentally knocking down the bottle on the table. The bottle fell to the ground and shattered intopieces. Kimberly, who was drunk, didn't know anything about it. She strode out barefoot andseemed ready to step on it.

In a flash, a tall figure came over and directly picked her up. He tightened his arms around her waistand stopped her from struggling to escape.

Outside the door, Sam finally broke free from Vera and he witnessed this scene when entering thehouse. Vera seemed to see a tall figure standing up in a daze, and the figure seemed to be...

"What... what on earth?" Vera was extremely shocked that her jaws almost dropped.
