Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 92

"Yes, Maddox and I are half- brothers. We have different mothers," said Benedict.

Benedict explained, "Things are a little complicated. Maddox grew up alone outside of the family. Heonly returned to the Yardley family in recent years. That's why he didn't get along with us well.Furthermore, his leg is injured, so it's normal that he's temperamental. Maddox... he has suffered alot. Grandpa hopes to make up for him, so he appointed Maddox as the president of the company.But of course, Maddox is very competent. Even if Grandpa didn't give him the position, he has thecapability of becoming the president by himself someday."

Kimberly was speechless. She did not expect it to be so complicated.

However, Maddox grew up outside of the Yardley family. Benedict and he had different mothers.Could it be... that he was an illegitimate child?

When she thought that Maddox's mother might be a mistress, Kimberly had an indescribablefeeling.

Probably because she had just found out that her ex-husband had an affair, so...

Thinking of this, Kimberly pursed her lips. Was Maddox temperamental due to his childhoodexperience?

"It's better to keep it a secret and don't mention it in front of Maddox. He will be angry." Benedictsmiled at Kimberly and asked, "You got it?"

Kimberly glanced at him without saying anything. She just nodded.

When they arrived at the intersection nearby the Yardley family, Benedict stopped the car by theroadside.

"Thank you, Brother. I'll go first," Kimberly uttered. Before she left, Benedict stopped her andhanded her a bag. "My secretary bought an extra piece of cake. But I don't like sweets, so I amgiving it to you," he said.

Cake?

Kimberly paused. She also... didn't like to eat cakes. It was greasy, and she would spit it out if sheever took a bite of it.novelbin

"Brother, you can keep it," Kimberly rejected politely.

"Take it. Don't you girls like cakes?" Benedict insisted. Kimberly had no choice but to take it andthen got out of the car.

After bidding farewell to Benedict, Kimberly stood at the intersection for a while before she startedwalking back home, carrying the cake in hand.

She was a little annoyed as she did not know what to do with the cake. She didn't think that it wasgood to throw it away since it was a gift from the other. But to eat it... she couldn't do it.

"Ah! I could call Sylvia. She has a sweet tooth," Kimberly suddenly thought.

Thinking of this, Kimberly took out her mobile phone. Right at the moment when she was ready todial Sylvia's number, a familiar car passed by her, and then the car slowed down.

Kimberly looked into the car subconsciously and happened to meet Maddox's eyes. She froze.

Maddox... He was back too?

It had been less than a minute since she got out of Benedict's car, did Maddox... see her? At thethought of this, Kimberly's face paled.

However, Maddox only shot her a cold glance and then he looked away. The car drove away afterthat.

At the same time, Kimberly had reached through Sylvia on the phone.

"Hello? Kimberly? Hello? Are you there?" Sylvia said.

Sylvia's voice was heard on the phone. It was not until then did Kimberly come to her sense and putthe phone close to her ear.

"Sylvia," Kimberly greeted.

"Kimberly, what were you doing just now? Why didn't you respond to me for a long time?" Sylviaasked.

Hearing this, Kimberly smiled and explained, "I'm walking on the road. I saw cars coming so I tooksome time to avoid them."

"Are you okay now?" asked Sylvia.

"I'm fine," replied Kimberly

"Why did you call me?" said Sylvia.

Kimberly glanced at the cake she was carrying. "You like to eat cakes, right? I have a piece of it bychance. Do you want it?" she replied.

Sylvia immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, where are you? I'll come to you right away." Kimberly told herthe location where they could meet. After hanging up the phone, she went to a cafe nearby.

Shortly after she sat down, Sylvia arrived.

When she saw the cake, Sylvia's eyes were lit up with joy.

"Dear Kimberly, you're truly my best friend. You even managed to buy the cake from Artsy BreadHouse!" Sylvia exclaimed.

Artsy Bread House?

Kimberly tilted her head and asked curiously, "Is the bakery famous?"

"Of course, it is!" Sylvia said and she could not wait to scoop a mouthful of cream. "It's the mostpopular bakery in North City. The boss is a weirdo. He only bakes ten pieces of cake a day. Afterthey're sold out, he won't bake anymore of them. I always go to the shop to buy it but to no avail. Ididn't expect that you managed to buy it. You're incredible!" she explained.

Was it so difficult to buy a piece of cake? How did Benedict's secretary manage to buy it?

Nonetheless, this was not the problem that she should be thinking about.

"By the way, is there any update on your investigation?" Kimberly asked casually.

Hearing her question, Sylvia looked at her with the corner of her mouth stained with cream. "Ha...Ishould've known that you came here with another purpose. Why would you suddenly buy me a caketoday when you don't even like it? I see, so it turns out that you have something to ask me," Sylviasaid.

Kimberly shot her a glance and said, "Yes, I have to rely on you for something important, so I haveno choice but please you with the cake."

"Come on, stop exploiting me. But since you bought me the cake, I'll tell you good news," Sylviareplied. Speaking of this, Sylvia's expression suddenly became serious. She put down her knife andfork and said solemnly,

"We have found the place where the button was manufactured and its buyers. Now, my brother istrying to contact the designer. However, I heard that the designer had a strange habit of selling hisproducts on his own. He only sells them to acquaintances or some people with luck on their side.I've told you last time that the buttons were exclusively used on two suit jackets, right? The suitscreated a sensation when they were first launched. As the designer was famous, a lot of peoplecouldn't manage to buy the suit even if they offered a high price. The designer then donated one ofthe suits to a charity, and that charity handed it over to an auctioneer. The suit was then sold at onemillion dollars during the auction. Nevertheless, the buyer was an eminent foreign businessman. Heis already married and has a family. Based on our inspection, he has never come to Hidalgo, hencewe could omit him from our investigation now." Sylvia contended.

When Kimberly heard this, she could not help but take a deep breath. She was a little shocked.

"That button... I didn't expect it to have such a background," Kimberly thought. One million dollars?How great was that sum of money?

"As for the other one, we're still investigating. As soon as we're able to get a hold of that designer,we'll know where the suit was sold. But I am sure that... Kimberly, you're going to live a good life inthe future!"

The last part of her sentence made Kimberly a little irked.

Live a good life in the future? She had never thought about it, and... the greater the person was, themore worried Kimberly was.

She would prefer an ordinary man.

Seeing Kimberly lowering her gaze with a depressed expression on her face, Sylvia thought that herwords had hurt her friend. She quickly explained in panic, "Kimberly, don't get me wrong. When I

said that you would live a good life in the future, I didn't mean to look down on you. I'm just glad thatyou've met an excellent man!"
