Chapter 48

"You!" Kimberly Shell snapped as she looked at him with a pale face.

Chandler Lovis said with a grin, "Am I wrong? Nothing is going on between you both? That's right.Maddox Yardley is disabled. You both can't do anything much either."

Hearing him say that Maddox was disabled, Kimberly suddenly became angry. She grabbed thespoon in her hand and said, "President Lovis, a gentleman like you shouldn't make such personalattacks on someone, should you?"

"What's wrong with that?" Chandler opened his arms nonchalantly. He leaned to the back of theseat, and teased, "Don't everyone know it already? If Maddox could do it, why was his grandfatherso anxious to find him a woman? But it's useless. He is still incompetent. Who would want to marrya disabled person like him? But you can tell him that, if he really can't do it, I don't mind doing it inhis place..."

As soon as he finished his words, he felt a burning sensation on his face. She had splashed the cupof coffee directly at him.

Kimberly put down the coffee cup in her hand, gritting her teeth while glaring at him. "You're the kindof men who play and fool around with girls. You don't even know the feeling of love! Do you evenhave the right to criticize others? And now you're even making personal attacks on someone, you'rejust a filthy piece of rubbish!"

The people in the cafe were shocked by this scene. They looked at them in surprise.

The coffee was burning hot. When Chandler was splashed, he was stunned for a moment before hecame back to his senses, "How dare you splash your coffee at me?!"

He got up and raised his hand, intending to hit Kimberly.

Yet she stood in the same place and looked at him fearlessly.

Before his hand could even land on her face, it suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Sam Sorrento was grabbing his hand. "If you want to hit someone, you have to ask Young MasterYardley for his consent!"

As Sam finished his words, he threw Chandler out of his seat.

Chandler hit the tables beside them and fell directly to the ground.

Kimberly was startled by the sudden change of situation. Her fearless expression was n where to beseen now, and her face was now wretched with fright.

She pinched the corner of her shirt and looked at Maddox, who was sitting in the wheelchair nearby.

"Why is he here?" she wondered.

When she left, he was still in his office. Also, how did he get her location so accurately?

Could it be that he knew it all along? Thinking of what Maddox had asked her last night, Kimberlysuddenly felt that she was so stupid.

Chandler got up from the messy pile. He was punched on his jaw and blood was oozing from thecorner of his mouth. After getting up, he wiped his mouth and sneered. He grabbed the chair next tohim and threw it at Maddox.

"Young Master!" Sam was standing not far away from Chandler. He didn't expect that Chandlerwould do such a despicable thing.

"Ah." Kimberly reacted and rushed forward to stand in front of Maddox without hesitating.

Just as Maddox was about to tell Chandler to piss off, his gaze was suddenly filled with a patch ofdarkness. He didn't expect Kimberly to suddenly stand in front of him. She ran over and hugged hisshoulders, using herself as a shield. When she approached him, her soft hair brushed past his face.He could smell Kimberly's unique scent.

Maddox was stunned.

"D*mn it, what are you doing? Go away!" Seeing the chair fly towards them, Maddox's heartsuddenly sank. He grabbed Kimberly's wrist and pulled her into his arms. Then, he quickly turnedthe wheelchair with his other hand.

Bang!!!

The chair fell on the ground with a loud bang. It fell on the place where Maddox's wheelchair was atjust a few milliseconds ago.

Probably because the force was too strong, the tiles were scratched a little when the chair crashedinto the floor. The people in the restaurant were scared out of their wits.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Maddox pulled Kimberly away and avoid the collision.

"You despicable b*stard!" Sam breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Maddox and Kimberlywere fine, but then he angrily grabbed Chandler's collar and punched him.

Chandler didn't expect that he would be hit earlier. His reaction was quicker this time around, so hequickly dodged the attack. The two of them started fighting against each other.novelbin

On the other side.

Kimberly was still holding onto Maddox's neck with her eyes tightly shut. She was afraid and herpetite body was shivering, and he could even see her eyelashes fluttering a little. She was so

scared that she kept holding onto Maddox.

"... How long are you going to hug me like this?" Maddox asked hoarsely.

Maddox was a little absent-minded.

When the chair was thrown towards him, he was very calm at first, because he knew that he couldeasily avoid it. But this stupid woman actually shielded him without thinking. Although it eventuallycaused more troubles for him, she still did that... fearing that he would get hurt.

What she did felt warm, like a current flowing through his body.

Hearing his voice, Kimberly was also a little surprised. She opened her eyes in fear and lookedaround. She felt nothing, and there was no pain at all.

"What's going on?"

Noticing that she was holding onto Maddox, Kimberly quickly retreated and coughed softly. "Are youall right?"

Maddox looked at her coldly. Kimberly whispered, "I'm sorry..."

"Sorry for what?" Maddox narrowed his eyes and stared at her intimidatingly. "Don't you know that itwas dangerous? Why did you rush over?"

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

She didn't expect that she would do that either.

She was also afraid.

But at that crucial moment, she felt that she had the duty as his wife to protect him. Moreover, hewas a disabled man, so she assumed that he couldn't dodge the attack. She couldn't just watch himget hurt in front of her.

"Don't you know that it will be a burden to me if you ran over?"

Kimberly moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but because he had saved her, shedidn't know what else to say.

"I'm sorry, I... didn't think too much at that time," Kimberly explained, pinching her finger and feelingvery embarrassed.

If she had known that she would become a burden to him, she would never have thrown herself athim.

Looking at her pitiful look, Maddox suddenly couldn't come up with any words to scold her.

It was a fact that she wanted to protect him from danger.

It was an accident for her to become his burden.

Furthermore, how could she know that he could dodge that attack? She pounced on him becauseshe thought that he would never be able to dodge it. She...

Maddox looked at Kimberly, his gaze was filled with complicated emotions.

"This woman... What the hell is she thinking?" Maddox thought.

On the other side, Sam had already knocked Chandler down. Chandler initially had the strength tofight back, but he soon lost his strength. After all, Sam was a martial arts practitioner. Chandler wassprawled on the ground. Sam pulled him by his collar and dragged him towards Maddox.

"Young Master Yardley, how should we deal with him?"

Maddox looked at Chandler as if he was looking at a dead man.

"Is it fun to make personal attacks on others? President Lovis, I guess you must like to play withwomen so much, that you even dare to think about playing with my woman. How about we deal withyour wrongdoings one by one?" Maddox threatened.

When Chandler heard this, his eyes suddenly widened as he asked, "What do you mean?"
