Chapter 337

"I would rather never have been adopted by you!"

After saying this, Kimberly pushed her mother's hand from her shoulder and took a few steps backto keep a distance from her.

"How ridiculous. Before stepping into this house, I still had a glimmer of hope. I hoped you wouldsay something to keep me around. Even if you're lying, I would still feel warm. But... no, you even...asked me to give my identity to Erica. That's right, I don't care about wealth or power, but what Icare more about is... kinship. Otherwise, I wouldn't have listened to your words and replaced Ericato marry into the Yardley family. Mom, you said you raised me and had done a lot for me, but... youalso took a lot of benefit from me, didn't you?" Kimberly said.

Kimberly's eyes were full of tears, but she held them back to not let them fall. She bit her lips tightly.

"After I got divorced, you simply gave me a cold order and threw me into the Yardley family. Do youthink that I became the young madam of the Yardley family and was well off? If you really think that,why didn't you let Erica marry into the family instead? It was because you thought the husband wasa cripple, and you were afraid your daughter would fall into a fire pit! So, in that sense, am Irepaying you for raising me? Wouldn't that be enough to repay you?" She continued.

"No!" Mrs. Shell shook her head hard and said, "No, Kimberly, you can never get rid of the Shellfamily. Anyway, I'm the one who raised you. It is your responsibility to do anything I require! What'swrong with you? You are just a divorced woman. If it wasn't for the Shell family, you would've been agood-for-nothing now. Furthermore, if it wasn't for Erica, you wouldn't be the young madam of theYardley family!"

"Then I don't want this title of the young madam of the Yardley family!!"

Kimberly cried loudly, "Do you think I want it? Why do you think the title is so good and I have totake it? After I married into the Yardley family, have you ever cared about me? All these years, Ireally thought that I was the daughter of the Shell family. Everything I have done... is because I tookyou as my own mother, so even if I felt that it was unfair, I would be willing to bear all the grievancesand promise to do it!"

"But today I finally understand... all you ever did was take advantage of me. You only want to getbenefits out of me. One day, when I'm useless, you won't even hesitate to kick me away!" Sherambled on.

"Why do you say 'use'? Since you don't care about wealth and status, why can't you give it to yoursister?" Mrs. Shell snapped back.

"If I don't want it, I have to give it to her?" Kimberly thought.

"Who said I don't want it?" Kimberly suddenly sneered. "As you said, that's the identity of MissHanover, and... that belongs to me. I deserve it."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shell was stunned. "You..."

Kimberly did not speak anymore. Her eyes were much colder, and her temperament was no longerthe same as before.

She came in here with hope, but now the only hope she had was gone, there was no point instaying here anymore.

Bearing that in mind, Kimberly turned and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shell's face changed and she became anxious. She went forward and grabbedher wrist. "Where are you going?"

Kimberly's heart moved. Before she answered, she heard Mrs. Shell said, "Even if you want toleave, you should remember the fact that I did raise you. In fact, I owe a lot of gambling debts andnow you are the daughter of the Hanover family. You should be able to compensate me, shouldn'tyou?"

Well, now she was completely disheartened.

Kimberly smiled faintly, but her eyes were dead and dimmed.

"I understand. I will never forget... your favor," she replied.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shell smiled happily. "That's right. After all, I'm your mother for these past years.Be careful on your way back."

She didn't see Kimberly's expression and didn't know what she was thinking.

Or perhaps, she couldn't care less about what Kimberly was thinking.

When Kimberly walked out of the door, she felt heartbreaking. Her long hair flapped in the cool nightbreeze. She stopped and hugged herself. "It's so cold," she muttered.

It was not winter yet, but she already felt a chill all the way down to her bones.

It was wintry, without... any touch of warmth.

When she walked to the junction, Kimberly found that the Hanover family's car was still parkedthere. She stood there and watched. After a while, the door opened and the driver ran to her.

"Miss, you're back. Let me drive you back," he said.

"Back where?" Kimberly asked without realizing.

The driver showed a gentle smile and said, "Mr. Hanover mentioned that Miss can go back homeanytime you want. I can also send you anywhere you want to go."

Where did she want to go?

Where else could she possibly go now other than to Vera's?

It was ridiculous. As a married woman, she didn't belong to her own family nor her husband's family.

No...she was no longer a married woman. Maddox had already given her the divorce contract. Fromnow on... she would be a woman who had been divorced twice.

She was really... naive.

When Maddox treated her like second-hand trash, she should have been able to see her statusclearly. However, she was still dreaming about falling in love with Maddox.

Who knew that they would break up in the end? "Where do you want to go?" The driver asked.

Kimberly looked up and shook her head.

"I don't know... where I should go..." she said.

The driver looked at her a while and said politely, "Miss, please get in the car. I'll drive you."novelbin

Kimberly stood where she was for a long time before she got into the car with him.

After getting in the car, Kimberly suddenly said, "Please send me to a hotel."

She didn't want to bother Vera anymore. The Hanover family was not a place she wanted to goeither. She couldn't yet accept the truth. She needed to find a quiet place to stay.

The driver hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he listened to her and sent her to a hotel.

Kimberly brought her ID card, but she didn't bring any clothes. She apologized to the driver andwent into the hotel on her own.

The driver watched as she entered the elevator. After that, he walked to the door and called Quill.

"Sir, Miss had asked me to drive her to a hotel," the driver spoke when Quill answered.

"I got it. I will send someone to follow her to ensure her safety," said Quill.

"I understand, Sir. I'll send the location to you," The driver said.
