Female Novel
Chapter 332
"Excuse me, do you remember anything else about the car? For example... The license platenumber or something like that..." Although Benedict did not have high hopes for the old lady'smemory, he still decided to make sure.
He hoped that he would find some clues.
The woman studied him carefully and suddenly chuckled, "Why are you asking so many questions?The girl got in the car voluntarily. What do you want to do?"
Did she get in the car willingly? Benedict paused for a moment and concluded that it must beKimberly's acquaintance.
However... Who else could it be?
"Thank you, madam. She's my friend. We're worried because we can't get in touch with her. We'vebeen looking for her for a long time now."
"I see... I don't remember the license plate number but I recall that the car was black..."
Benedict sighed internally. He should never have placed his hopes in the old lady. There werecountless black cars in North City.
"Thank you. I'll take my leave."
Benedict decided to make a phone call to Vera and tell her about it. Moreover, he wanted to askVera if Kimberly knew anyone else. It would be easier to find some clues from there. After hearingthe news, Vera was a little relieved. Yet, she asked doubtfully, "Black car? Are you sure that she gotin the car voluntarily?"
"I'm not sure," Benedict continued solemnly, "If what the old lady said was true, Kimberly wasprobably not forced into the car."
Vera was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement. "You're right. If she was forced to get in,she would have struggled. Yet, the old lady said that she got into the car willingly, so she shouldn'tbe in danger for now. However, I'll still be worried if I can't find her. She looked miserable just now.Vice President Yardley, please, I need to make sure that she's safe."
"You should go back. I'll send some people to look for her. I'll update you immediately if I find her."
"Well... Okay."novelbin
Vera ended the phone call. She was very worried. She dialed Kimberly's phone number but the callwas not connected. In the end, she had no choice but to send a text message to Kimberly. Veraasked Kimberly to text back to make sure that the latter was safe. After that, she put away hermobile phone and went home.
Kimberly leaned against the soft sofa. The servant brought her a cup of hot tea and saidrespectfully, "Miss, please have some tea."
Kimberly did not want to move and did not have any strength to take the cup. However, she shookher head politely and whispered, "No, thank you."
The servant was taken aback but went away with the tea swiftly. The servant happened to bumpinto Juliette. Juliette glanced at the cup of untouched tea and chuckled, "She won't have it?"
The servant nodded and replied, "She doesn't seem to be in a good mood, so..."
"I understand. Go on." Juliette smiled and dismissed the servant. The servant breathed a sigh ofrelief and left hurriedly. The servant was afraid that Juliette would ask her to deal with Kimberly.
Although Kimberly looked harmless and polite, it was impossible for the servant to deal withsomeone who was depressed.
Juliette strode to Kimberly. She noticed that Kimberly was not in a good mood. She could not helpbut ask smilingly, "What's the matter, Miss Shell? Why are you so depressed?"
Kimberly raised her head when she heard a familiar voice. She glanced at Juliette.
"I'm fine."
Earlier, when Vera went out to make the call, Kimberly got up blankly and wanted to leave. She didnot know how long she wandered aimlessly. Finally, she found herself standing on the main road.When she saw the busy streets, she felt like ending her life.
Yet, she was shocked when the idea dawned on her.
She was pregnant. Even if she did not care about herself, she needed to think about the baby.
Therefore, she did not move. She cowered on the roadside and watched the traffic.
Suddenly, a car pulled over in front of her and the car door opened.
Kimberly raised her head and stared into a pair of deep eyes. It was Quill.
"Miss Shell, why are you here?"
When Kimberly raised her head, Juliette was shocked by Kimberly's red eyes and the tears on herface. Juliette parted her lips to speak but she could not find her voice.
Quill was conflicted as he stared at Kimberly. Their eyes met and a moment later... Quill extendedhis arm to her.
"No matter what happened, you can't sit here crying. Get up."
He sounded like a strict elder brother. The concern in his eyes made Kimberly feel warm. She bither lower lip but did not get up. Instead, she lowered her head again.
"Look at me." Unexpectedly, before she could lower her head, Quill suddenly uttered solemnly.
Kimberly was taken aback and she raised her head blankly.
"Didn't you hear me? Get up."
Kimberly did not know what to say.
She bit her lips and finally spoke, "President Hanover, although Sylvia is my best friend but... Itdoesn't mean that you can poke your nose into my business, alright?"
She was in a horrible mood. Moreover... She no longer thought that she could be friends withSylvia.
Therefore, she would probably never meet Quill again in the future. Initially, she wanted to treat Quillcourteously. After all, it was a problem between Sylvia and her, so she did not want to drag anyoneinto it.
Yet, if Quill was going to interfere with her life, she would stand up for herself.
Quill frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Kimberly bit her lower lip. She turned away and refused to look at him.
Suddenly, Quill reached out to take hold of her shoulder and lifted her up. To her surprise, he did iteffortlessly.
"Do you think that I like to do this? You're ruining your own reputation if you stay here and you'reblocking the way."
Quill's tone was low and cold but his eyes were fixated on her.
He never expected that... Kimberly would resemble him when she was angry and stubborn.
So she was... His long-lost younger sister whom he had been searching for, for over twenty years?
D*mn it, why had he never realized it? Why did his subordinates bring back Sylvia? Did Sylvia knowabout Kimberly's identity and stole the latter's identity?
However... Why did everyone know about it but Kimberly?
Alas...
Quill let out a sigh at the thought of that. "Let's get out of here. You're a mess right now."
Kimberly was taken aback. Naturally, she knew that she was in a mess but she was in a bad mood,hence she could not care less.
"You guys should leave," Kimberly replied weakly.
"Juliette, help her get in the car," Quill ordered coldly.
Juliette could not help but smile. She strode to Kimberly and held the latter's hands warmly. Julietteadvised, "Miss Shell, it's a busy street, so it's dangerous for you to stay here. Also, your friends arenot with you so you should just leave with us."
Following that, Juliette dragged Kimberly into the car. Even though Juliette seemed polite, herattitude was forceful.
