Chapter 149
At this moment, Sylvia didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, she felt proud of her intelligence. She curled her lips and reminded Kimberly, "Kimberly, the food is getting cold, finish up. I'll tidy up with you after eating, and then we'll get off work early."
She then thought in her heart, "Kimberly, please don't blame me for alienating you and Maddox."
"Both of you are of different worlds and you won't be happy with him."
"In this case, let me replace you here. If Benedict really doesn't mind your identity, he is more suitable for you," Sylvia secretly thought. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
"You don't have to do that. It's already very tiring for you to bring me food. You can go back after finishing your meal."
Kimberly smiled at her as she said.
But Sylvia insisted on staying.
There was no other way. Kimberly could only let her help. They were busy until ten o'clock at night. Sylvia looked around the empty building and suggested to Kimberly, "I think your overtime ends now. Let's go back, I can drop you home since I have a car."
The busy Kimberly looked up at the time. It was already past ten o'clock. Even if she wanted to continue working, she could not allow Sylvia to accompany her at this hour. So she nodded and said that she would start to pack up. When Sylvia sent Kimberly to the Yardley family, it was already past eleven o'clock at night. Sylvia suddenly said, "Kimberly, my brother told me..."
Kimberly stopped while listening to her words. Her fingers froze, and then she said, "About that..."
"I'll just tell you. That person is actually Benedict Yardley!"
Before Kimberly opened the car door, Sylvia blurted the sentence. Her forehead was drenched in sweats as she clenched onto the steering wheel.
Kimberly was completely stunned. She was so shocked that she didn't respond for a long time.
She thought... she had misheard.
Did Sylvia just mention Benedict's name?
She turned back to look at Sylvia, and her lips trembled a little, " Sylvia, why did you suddenly mention Benedict's name?"
Sylvia did not speak but just stared at her.
Kimberly pursed her lips and hid the panic in her eyes. She then said in a sullen voice, "It's getting late. Go back and have a rest."
"Kimberly, that suit belongs to Benedict."
Just as Kimberly raised her hand and was about to open the car door, she heard Sylvia's voice again. Kimberly felt as if her head was going to explode.
How could it be Benedict's?
Was Sylvia joking with her?
Sylvia continued, "I know that this news might be a little bit shocking... But... it really is Benedict. At first, I didn't know if I should tell you, but after thinking about it these two days and listening to what you said this afternoon, I felt that you will be happy too after getting along with your Brother Yardley. So I took the courage to tell you the truth."
Kimberly didn't say anything.
Sylvia added, "Of course, I know that you need some time to accept it..."
Kimberly suddenly turned her head and said in an anxious tone, "Are you kidding? That person that night didn't look or act anything like Benedict!"
Sylvia insisted, "Kimberly, a person can have several personalities. People change their actions all the time when they're with different people. He may look gentle most of the time, but in fact, he is..."
"Impossible!" Kimberly interrupted her, shaking her head.
Sylvia sighed and said, "Anyway, I've told you the truth. You still have time. You can take your time to think about it at night."
Kimberly gawked at her for a moment, then said, "Drive carefully." After that, she got out of the car and left.
Kimberly had been married to the Yardley family for a long time now. It was her first time returning home so late. The whole house was quiet. Only a few maids who were still awake were a little surprised to see her coming back, but they quickly greeted her.
Because of the incident just now, Kimberly was still a little confused, so her mind wasn't fully with her. She nodded at them and made her way upstairs.
When she approached her room, Kimberly assumed that Maddox must have fallen asleep.
She carefully pushed the door open and crept in, only to find that the room was brightly lit and that Maddox was still reading in his wheelchair.
Hearing the sound, he seemed to frown slightly.
She did not expect him to still stay awake. It was almost midnight. Wasn't his biological clock quite accurate?
Kimberly didn't talk to him and went to take her clothes to take a shower.
During the shower, Kimberly thought about what Sylvia had said.
Could it be that the investigation was wrong? On that dark rainy night, she couldn't see the man's face clearly, but she could feel his breath. His aggressive, wild breath.
On the other hand, Benedict felt reserved and warm. Nothing like the man from that night.
No matter what, Kimberly would never be able to connect these two people together.
But now, Sylvia told her that Benedict was the owner of the suit. Kimberly couldn't accept it. She refused to believe it.
Benedict...
He was Maddox's elder brother!
The more Kimberly thought about it, the more painful her head was. She felt a little dizzy so she quickly turned off the shower, dried her body, and put on her clothes.
When she walked out of the bathroom barefooted, Maddox was still awake. He was still reading a book.
"What book is that? Is it that interesting to the point he is willing to mess up his biological clock?"
Kimberly silently commented in her heart.
Maddox suddenly closed the book. He then ordered coldly as if he could hear the words she had muttered in her heart,
"Come here."
The cold words hit Kimberly's head like a hammer. After what had happened in the morning, she was afraid of Maddox. She was so scared and wanted to stay away from him.
Now, he had asked her to go over to him. Kimberly was so nervous that she pinched the hem of her shirt and held her breath.
Maddox frowned discontentedly and slammed the book on the table, "Are you hesitating?"
Kimberly said, "It's getting late. You should go to bed early, and so do I!"
After that, Kimberly was ready to turn around and leave.
He bellowed, "Miss-Married-Twice, I'll get someone to discard your quilt tomorrow if you don't come here now. I dare you to try me."
This sentence made Kimberly halt. She then looked back at Maddox.
After a long while, Kimberly walked towards him and said indifferently, "What can I do for you?"
"Take off your clothes," instructed Maddox.
The next second, Kimberly raised her head as if she had heard something shocking, and she looked at him incredulously.
Maddox's handsome face was blank and full of hostility, and his sharp eyes were full of irresistible majesty. Kimberly couldn't help biting her lower lip silently.
Maddox sneered and suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him.
"Let me go!" Kimberly yelped and struggled hard like a little pet, but Maddox had his hand on her neck. She was choking. On the other hand, Maddox's voice was as cold as ice as he spoke.
"I told you that I'll check your body every day."
