Female Novel
Chapter 300
"Really?" Vera said happily, "Thank you so much."
"But..." Benedict changed his tone. He stared at Vera and asked, "Why did Kimberly reject my helpsince it's just a simple matter?"
Vera was a little helpless. However, she couldn't tell him the truth. She could only say, "That'sbecause she has accepted your help many times. She told me about the 300,000 dollars. Kimberlyis the kind of person who would remember a person's help forever. She would always remindherself that she owed that person a favor. This is why she refuses your help."
Hearing this, Benedict felt it was reasonable. Kimberly felt helpless whenever she saw Benedictever since he gave her mother 300 thousand dollars.
"I've never expected her to give me back the money."
"This is exactly why she is uncomfortable accepting your help," Vera stared at Benedict seriouslyand said with a sigh. She continued, "Although I haven't known her for long, it is very easy to seethrough her. She is a serious yet stubborn person. I believe you can tell that the more you want tohelp her, the guiltier she feels."
Benedict looked at Vera gently. He didn't expect her to know Kimberly so well.
"I don't think she feels guilty. She's just afraid that she can't pay me back if she owes me too much.""Yeah. In fact, at first, I felt awkward troubling you for help. But... I really couldn't think of anyoneelse to help."novelbin
Hearing this, Benedict smiled slightly and said, "It's my honor to serve you two ladies."
"Well, let's call it a day now. I'm going to find Kimberly and explain things to her."
"Okay, just leave it to me," Benedict nodded and said. "I will give you some news soon."
"Thank you, Vice President Yardley."
Benedict tapped the table with his long slender fingers after Vera left. Looking at the two bowls ofnoodles that had not been eaten by them, he was lost in thought.
Something... was wrong.
It seemed that he had to look into it carefully. Perhaps... he could find something out.
Kimberly took a taxi and went straight back to the Ocean Villa. Sarah came to tell her that Veracame to look for her not long after she returned to the villa. "Young Madam, didn't you go out withVera this morning? Why..." Sarah asked.
In order to stop Sarah from thinking too much, Kimberly had to say, "Perhaps she left somethingwith me. Bring her here."
In the end, Sarah brought Vera over and left. The room was quiet. Kimberly had gradually calmeddown when she was on the way back to the villa. Vera wrapped her hands around Kimberly's armimmediately as soon as she saw her. She said, "Kimberly, are you still angry with me? I've alreadysettled the matter. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
"Did you just say that you've settled it?" Kimberly asked. Then, she gave a wry smile and said, "So,you told him everything, didn't you?
Vera's face became pale. She explained to Kimberly immediately, "Don't misunderstand me. I madeup a story so he would definitely know nothing about it."
"Are you stupid? The ending will be the same no matter how you make up the story."
"But..."
"Do you think he is a fool? I bet no one would believe your story, let alone Benedict. I am sure thathe can roughly understand what is going on."
Hearing this, Vera was in shock and said, "It can't be. How would normal people manage to guessthis? What's more, he is the brother of Young Master Yardley. He shouldn't have thought of this."
"Do you think he won't look into it even if he doesn't understand what is going on?" Kimberly lookedat Vera helplessly and said with a sigh. She added, "You don't know who Benedict is. He's not assimple as you think."
First of all, he disguised himself too well. No one would know what kind of person Benedict was ifthey were not from the Yardley family. The only reason she knew of his true nature was because ofwhat the Old Master had told her. Also, Kimberly knew Benedict was not a gentleman because ofwhat he said to her before. He was definitely not a simple person. He would definitely have sensedsomething wrong after hearing what Vera said and would certainly look into it.
"Did I misjudge him?" Vera lowered her head and murmured. "Perhaps I really don't know what kindof person he is. However, I know he won't harm you based on how he looks at you."
Kimberly smiled faintly and said, "Perhaps he will do bad things with good intentions. Forget it, it'salready over. I have nothing else to say."
"Well... Will you still be angry at me? Kimberly, I'm just doing this for your own good."
Looking at Vera in front of her, Kimberly suddenly felt a little helpless. To be honest, Vera was reallydoing this for her sake. Even if she tried to stop her, it wouldn't work.
"It's already over. There's no point in being angry anymore," Kimberly said softly.
She was not angry. Seeing her being indifferent, Vera was scared. She took a few steps forwardand grabbed her hands, saying, "Kimberly..."
"It's getting late now. You should go back first."

"I'll visit you tomorrow," Kimberly said. Hearing this, Vera was happy. She said excitedly, "'Are youreally going to visit me tomorrow? Are you really not angry with me anymore?"
Kimberly had no choice but to say, "I was agitated just now. I know that you are doing this for mygood. I will ask George to send you back."
After that, Kimberly asked Sarah to take Vera to look for George. Vera gave Kimberly a hug beforeshe left, asking her to pay her a visit the following day, to which Kimberly agreed.
Kimberly looked at the night sky outside the window after Vera left. She was afraid that... somethingwould happen in the future.
That day would come sooner or later even if she hadn't sought out Benedict.
But... she didn't expect it to be so fast.
Benedict was fast in digging up the information. The next day, he told Vera that he'd managed togather the information. He made an appointment for them to meet him at night.
Kimberly did not refuse when Vera told her about this on the phone and immediately agreed.
"Well, let's meet at night then. You won't have to visit me during the day."
"Okay," Kimberly nodded.
Kimberly changed her clothes and was about to go out in the evening. She bumped into Maddox,who had just come back from the company. He came back earlier today.
Seeing Kimberly dressing herself up, Maddox asked, "Are you going out?"
Kimberly was stunned. Then, she nodded and asked, "Why did you get off work so early today?"
Maddox glanced at her and pursed his lips. After a while, he said, "I'm going to attend the banquet."
Sam walked over and handed Kimberly a box as soon as Maddox finished speaking.
"What's this?" Kimberly looked at the box in confusion and asked.
