Chapter 168
Everyone was speechless.
Agnes' and Lydia's expressions kept changing. They were obviously incredibly infuriated by Kimberly.
They wondered if Kimberly didn't hear their mocks at all.
Then, who were they shouting at all this time?
Agnes chided, "Miss Shell, aren't you a bit too arrogant? Do you really think that you can do whatever you want in this department, just because the supervisor likes you?"
Lydia added, "That's right. He merely brought you breakfast. Don't take yourself too seriously. Besides, he has a wife. Aren't you ashamed to seduce a married man?"
Their voices were getting louder and nastier. Some of the onlookers thought that they had gone too far, but there were others who also joined in.
One of them said, "Oh, she will not feel ashamed. I bet she seduced all kinds of men regardless of their

age.
Kimberly didn't react to their unkind remarks.
Another person echoed, "That's right. How shameless!"
Kimberly immediately exuded a frigid aura, and she gradually curled her lips into a sneer. "Does having breakfast served on your table means you've seduced a married man?" Everyone was
stunned by her sudden counterattack.
Then, Kimberly got up from her seat. She picked up the breakfast and shoved it towards Agnes.
She said, "What about now? Miss Gavlin, can you be more shameless?"
Agnes's expression changed drastically.
Kimberly continued, "I've always thought that only some rogue person would come up with this type of insults. I never thought that I would hear this from all of you. If you think that I am shameless, then what about yourselves? What's the difference between you guys and those rude shrews who only know how to curse others? Tell me, what's the difference?"
Kimberly's words were not unpleasant, but she had basically compared them to shrews.
Everyone else was furious, and they shouted a retort angrily.
"What do you mean? We are just saying the truth!"
Lydia gritted her teeth and said, "That's right. Not only you don't dare to admit the dirty things you did, but you are even slandering us."
Kimberly smiled and tucked a wisp of black hair behind her ear. She stepped forward and walked up to Lydia, saying, "Miss Canning, I saw a bald man picking you up from work last night. At first, I thought he was your father, but later, I saw the two of you kissing. May I know what's your relationship with him?"
Lydia's expression became awful at once and her pupils trembled.
She yelled, "Y-You... What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't do that!"
The crowd looked at Lydia in an uproar.
Kimberly smiled, "Oh, is that so? Or do you not dare to admit it?"
Standing on the side, Agnes realized that Kimberly was using their own words against her and Lydia.
"Miss Shell, don't change the topic! The point is that you seduced our supervisor. Why are you putting the blame on Lydia instead?" Agnes scolded. She was so angry and tried to pull Kimberly's hair, wanting to drag her away.
Kimberly's face fell and she quickly avoided her grab.
She said, "I haven't even placed a finger on you for constantly insulting me. But now, you react so anxiously just because I said a sentence. Could it be that I was saying the truth? Or are you using her to cover up for yourself? Hmm... Should I also tell everyone about what you did?"
Agnes stammered, "... Me? What story are you trying to make up now?"
Kimberly shrugged, "Well, it isn't entirely about you. I just want to remind you that your boyfriend was talking to his mistress before he came to pick you up."
"What are you talking about?" Agnes gaped. She didn't expect that Kimberly would bring her boyfriend into this topic. She was enraged and was about to raise her hand to hit her. "What are you guys quarreling about?"
Lincoln's voice boomed through the room, stopping everyone in their tracks.
Although everyone talked bad about him behind his back, still, Lincoln had been the supervisor for six years and had authority after all. Upon his presence, everyone hurriedly went back to work.
When Agnes saw Lincoln, her eyes turned red with tears and she said aggrievedly, "Lincoln, you're here. This newcomer has done something wrong, and I gave her some advice but she got angry at
me. She has even defamed me and Lydia."
When Lydia heard her name, she quickly put on a show and looked at Lincoln pitifully with teary eyes.
She whined, "Lincoln, we really didn't say anything about her, but she mocked at me and said that I have a sugar daddy. I am a pure and innocent girl, how can I be involved in such relationships? Lincoln... you have to help us!"
No matter what Agnes and Lydia said, Kimberly simply looked at them coldly while standing still.
Looking at Kimberly's expression, Lincoln could not shift his gaze away from her.
Her firm and independent look was amazing and attractive.
Lincoln suddenly realized Kimberly's beauty. Although she had always ignored him, he had never found her cold eyes and temperament to be annoying. On the contrary, the more she rejected him, the more he liked her.
"When did you guys become so weak? She has only said a few sentences," Lincoln said to Agnes and Lydia as he coughed lightly. He then looked at Kimberly and asked softly, "Did you really say that? Or are they making this story up?"
Agnes' and Lydia's faces turned pale. Agnes asked, "Lincoln, what do you mean? Why would we make up a story about her?"
Kimberly was also stunned. She didn't expect that he would ask that question. She hesitated, wondering if she should use him to punish Agnes and Lydia. But... she didn't want to be involved with Lincoln.
She decided to forget about it.
Kimberly pursed her lips and did not bother to defend herself. She turned around and went back to her seat.
Lincoln felt a little unpleasant for being ignored. Lydia called, "Lincoln..."
Lincoln said, "Alright, don't cause any trouble now. Do I need to handle all this nonsense? Do I need to take care of your meals as well? Get back to work! If you can't finish your work, I will deduct your bonus!"
When Agnes and Lydia heard that, they didn't dare to say anything more. They could only return to their seats in anger.
Lincoln wanted to leave, but when he saw Kimberly's curvaceous figure and thought of her appearance, his heart skipped a beat again. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Therefore, he walked up to her and cleared his throat softly, "Urn, Miss Shell, please come to my office."
Kimberly stopped working when she heard him. She looked at Lincoln and asked, "Lincoln, what's the matter?"
Lincoln stammered, "Let's talk about it in the office!"
Then, he turned and walked away.
Kimberly took a deep breath. In fact, she could guess what Lincoln was going to do with her, but she didn't have that thought in her mind. She would not have a guilty conscience.
She decided to take this opportunity to make things clear to Lincoln.
She shut her computer down, stood up and walked to Lincoln's office. Her mind was racing.
As soon as she left, Agnes and Lydia started gossiping again.
Lydia huffed in annoyance, "What's wrong with Lincoln? Didn't Sister Winna tell him to teach Kimberly a lesson? Why didn't he help us?"
Ages seethed, "D*mn it! That old pervert, I bet he was seduced by her. I don't get it. That woman can't even compete with Sister Winna's beauty. How can he change his mind just because of her? What a b*stard!"
Lydia sighed, "Agnes, what should we do now? If Lincoln doesn't help us, how can we teach her a lesson? She seems to be quite capable."
