Female Novel
Chapter 50
"Nothing."
Kimberly Shell turned around.
Maddox Yardley's gaze was still cold. His words were akin to a sharp blade with poison, stabbingright into her.
"As my assistant, I just hope that you wouldn't look too shabby when you discuss business matterswith the others in the future."
When he mentioned about her clothes again, Kimberly's face turned a little pale. "Is it really soimportant to wear fancy clothes? Are you that concerned about my appearance?"
"If a person doesn't even know how to dress well, there's no need for others to consider hercompetency then."
Kimberly was speechless.
"I really can't stand it. I really can't communicate with him." she thought.
Kimberly was so angry that she wanted to turn around and leave. But when she saw Maddox sittingin the wheelchair, she couldn't help but feel softhearted. What if she left and he got into trouble?
Hence, she could only stand there and enduring his words. After waiting for a long time, the staff ranto Maddox Yardley and said, "Sir, I have packed all the clothes that you have bought for this lady.""Send them to this address." Maddox took out a business card and handed it to the staff. After thestaff took it, her eyes widened and she asked, "Y-Y-Yardley? You are...?"
Then he nodded.
"Yes, yes, I understand!"
Everyone in North City knew about the Yardley Corporation.
"Can we go now?" Kimberly didn't want to stay here any longer, so she asked after they finishedtalking.
Maddox agreed and Kimberly pushed him off.
Before they left, they heard a few staffs discussing about them
"I'm so jealous. Who is that woman? Young Master Yardley actually bought so many clothes forher!"
"I don't know. It seems that she is quite poor. I would be so d*mn lucky if someone is willing to dothis for me too."
"Why did Cinderella always get to be with her Prince Charming? People like us can never get menlike them."
Listening to their discussions, Kimberly secretly tightened her grip. Hah, Cinderella and PrinceCharming?!
Perhaps, she was indeed a Cinderella. She had nothing, and her parents did not love her either.However, she knew clearly that Maddox was definitely not her Prince Charming.
Sylvia Hanover was right.
For the pregnant Kimberly who had been remarried, Maddox., was like her death wish!
After returning home, Kimberly went back to her room indifferently, while Maddox went to the study.
Kimberly was bored, so she began to read up some documents. She seemed to suddenly think ofsomething. She then picked up her phone and bag and went out.
In the Shell Family.
"Mom, why did you prepare food that I dislike again? I won't have dinner today!" Erica Shell satdown at the dinner table. When she just picked up her spoon, she saw that the dishes on the tablewere totally not what she liked, so she threw the spoon down and got up to leave.
When Mrs. Shell saw this, she quickly got up and stopped her.
"Erica, how could you still be so picky when you are already so thin?"
"Mom, it's not that I am picky. It's because the food you cook tastes too awful. Look at what youcook. I won't eat it." Erica went upstairs angrily and no longer paid attention to Mrs. Shell.
"Erica. Oh my, look at this child..." Mrs. Shell sighed helplessly, and then returned to the diningtable. After sitting down, she whispered, "Let's eat.l'll buy the food she likes for her later."
Mr. Shell sat opposite her, and he was a little angry. "You pampered her too much. Look at her. Shedoesn't even want to eat proper meals. It'd be better to let her starve to death."
Hearing this, Mrs. Shell's face changed. "Tyson, how could you say that? She is your daughter!"
"Daughter? What's the point of having such a daughter? Her grades are bad, she doesn't even helpwith the house chores, yet she is always so picky about everything..." Speaking of which, Mr. Shellthought of Kimberly and sighed, "And we don't even know how Kimberly is doing..."
At the mention of Kimberly, Mrs. Shell's expression looked even more gloomy.
"Kimberly...She should be fine, right? She hasn't even given us a call since she got married, I don'tdare to call her either..."
"What the hell are you doing? Why did you even let her replace Erica in the first place? That childwas just divorced!"
"Why? You're blaming me now, aren't you? I've discussed it with you before. Why didn't you sayanything back then? Are you only worried about her now?"
Mr. Shell didn't say anything.
"You only know how to blame it on others. Don't you think that I, as her mother, feel sorry for hertoo? I do feel sorry for Kimberly, but we only have these two daughters in our family, Kimberly isdivorced, what if she cannot get another better husband in the future? We couldn't let that happento Erica too, right?"
Mr. Shell felt guilty, so he didn't say anything. Ding-dong—
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Mrs. Shell put down the cutlery in her hand and whispered, "Maybe it's Erica's boyfriend."
Mrs. Shell was a little surprised when she opened the door. "Kimberly?"
Kimberly stood at the door, looking a little awkward. "Mom."
"Why are you here?" Mrs. Shell thought that it was Erica's boyfriend, but she didn't expect it to beKimberly, so she couldn't respond for a while.
Kimberly stood there, stunned. She did not expect to see Mrs. Shell's disappointment look.
She was already feeling so awkward that she couldn't stand straight, and now she felt even moreembarrassed.
After she married the Second Young Master of the Yardley family on behalf of Erica, did herparents... begin to hate her?
Were they not going to welcome her into the house? Even after she was gone for such a long time?
Kimberly's eyes dimmed and she whispered, "Mom, I came back to get something."novelbin
Hearing her depressed tone, Mrs. Shell realized that she had said something wrong. She quicklyshowed a kind smile and held Kimberly's hand affectionately. "I didn't mean that. I thought it wasErica's boyfriend. Have you had your dinner yet? Come in quickly. We were just about to havedinner. Come eat with us."
Kimberly followed her in. When Mr. Shell caught sight of her, he also got up and walked towardsher.
"It's you, Kimberly. Have you eaten? Sit down and have a meal with us." Kimberly hadn't eaten withher family for a long time. When she saw the familiar dining table and the familiar aroma of the food,she was a little touched. She nodded and said, "Okay."
After sitting down, Kimberly found that the dinner table was somewhat empty.
"Where is Erica?"
"Erica is throwing a tantrum and refusing to eat." Mr. Shell put a big piece of meat into Kimberly'splate as he explained.
Hearing this, Kimberly was slightly stunned. "Is Erica... still so picky?"
"Your mother pampered her into a spoilt brat. Come on, Kimberly, eat up. You look so much thinnernow. Were the Yardley family... not treating you well?"
Speaking of this, Mr. Shell suddenly felt sad and stopped eating.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you marry him to substitute Erica..."
"Tyson, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Shell couldn't help but say, "What's done cannot beundone, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Dad, I'm fine." Kimberly smiled slightly and said, "The people in the Yardley family are very kind tome. I'm just on a diet, and the Yardley family is well-known in North City. I'm very satisfied that I canmarry such a person for my second marriage."
Mrs. Shell was very pleased to hear that and said, "Kimberly, it's good that you think so. It's true.You've already divorced once. It's already very good for you to be able to marry into the Yardleyfamily."
