Chapter 59
No way!
Maddox Yardley had done this for her twice. She couldn't let him take the blame for her again.
Thinking of this, Kimberly Shell stepped forward without any hesitation and walked in front of Old Master Yardley, saying, "Old Master Yardley, it's not Young Master Yardley's fault. It's all my fault."
"What did you say?" Old Master Yardley narrowed his eyes and looked at Kimberly who was standing in front of him. There was a hint of anger in his voice. "What does this have to do with you?"
"That day, I..."
"I was the one who didn't want her to look for Chandler Lovis. Yardley Corporation doesn't want to cooperate with Lovis Enterprises. It's as simple as that. If you are dissatisfied with my decision, you are more than welcome to bring this matter up at the board of directors meeting." Maddox suddenly interrupted her in a cold voice.
Kimberly stood there in astonishment and turned around to look at Maddox incredulously.
What the hell was going on with him?
Why didn't he tell the truth in front of Old Master Yardley? Why did he... hide it for her?
"Young Master Yardley?"
"Get out of my way." Maddox raised his eyes slightly and his gaze sharpened. "Do you think that you're in the place to interrupt the Yardley family's business?"
Kimberly bit her lower lip and stepped aside with a pale face. She clasped the hands which were hanging on her sides tightly, and her lower lip was almost bleeding.
Benedict Yardley felt sorry for her.
Old Master Yardley was furious. That b*stard knew that he would not hold a board meeting, because all the directors supported Maddox, and it was not the right time yet...
However, Old Master Yardley did not intend to let this matter go just like that.
"Maddox, don't think that I dare not touch you."
Maddox didn't care. He looked at Old Master Yardley and said, "The company is here. Grandpa... you can hold a directors' meeting at any time, as long as... they would listen to you."
He grinned as he finished his words.
That scary smile of his was full of pride and calmness.
He was very confident that Old Master Yardley wouldn't be able to remove him from his position.
Indeed, even though the wheelchair-bound Maddox behaved in an unexpected manner and often made surprising moves, but in the end the outcome would prove that his actions were right.
The directors knew that they had underestimated Maddox ever since he entered the company. Shortly after Maddox entered the company, he had made some excellent achievements, ultimately changing the perspective of the board of directors toward him. Everyone knew that Maddox was only injured in his legs, not his brain.
"There will be consequences if you mess with the Lovis family. Maddox, since you hurt President Lovis, you have to give them an explanation."
The other two old men knew the situation was serious and were worried that it could get worse, so they had to intervene. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"Yeah, it doesn't matter if we don't collaborate with them, but why did you have to hit him?"
"It's already very kind of me to have left him alive," Maddox said mercilessly.
His ruthless words made the faces of all the people present change. Old Master Yardley's reaction was the most intense. "You unfilial child! How could your father give birth to someone like you!"
"Grandpa!" Benedict saw that Old Master Yardley was angry and stepped forward to hold his arm. "Don't be angry. There must be a reason why Maddox didn't want to collaborate with Lovis Enterprises. He has always had a unique insight into things. Besides, Maddox is a member of the Yardley family, so he won't do anything harmful to our company. Don't worry."
"Is that so? Maybe not." Maddox replied with cold eyes.
Kimberly had a headache when she heard this. She felt that Maddox was deliberately making Old Master Yardley angry. Every word he said was targeted at him. No wonder... Old Master Yardley would get so angry!
"Benedict, listen... Listen to what he said! How dare he?"
"Grandpa, please go back. I'll ask the driver to send you home." Benedict didn't say anything else. He helped the old man to walk out, and the other two men followed him and left.
The office was quiet again.
Kimberly stood still. Her face was still pale, and there were traces of blood on her lip.
"Get out!" Maddox suddenly ordered.
Kimberly stood still.
"Do you not understand my words?"
Kimberly blinked and suddenly turned to Maddox. "Why did you help me?"
Hearing what she said, Maddox raised his eyebrows.
"It was my fault, wasn't it? Why didn't you let me make it clear in front of the Old Master? It was obviously my fault!"
"Hah..." Maddox suddenly sneered. "Are you thinking too highly of yourself?"
"What?" Kimberly was confused and did not understand. What the hell was going on with him?
"Don't let me repeat it for the third time. Get out."
Kimberly didn't want to leave. Instead, she took a step forward and clenched her fists. "Maddox Yardley, what's wrong with you? Don't you hate me? But why do you keep helping me? As long as I make it clear to the old man that it was my fault, then you both didn't have to quarrel with each other."
When Chandler flirted with her for the first time, Maddox refused to collaborate with Lovis Enterprises.
The second time, it was also because of her that Maddox had beaten Chandler up.
No matter how she looked at it, both of these incidents were because of her.
But... he didn't mention a word about it and interrupted her when she was about to tell the truth!
"Oh, you really think too much, don't you? It's my decision to decide whom I want to collaborate with. As for you... I don't need a woman to stand up for me. It's between me and the old man so it's none of your business. Do you understand?"
Kimberly paused for a moment.
"Do you want me to say more unpleasant words? Why would I do it for a second-hand woman like you? What were you thinking? Get rid of those absurd ideas and get out of my sight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kimberly's face went totally pale.
She didn't expect... that he would be so harsh.
She clenched her fists and her body trembled, then she bit her lower lip. "I, I understand..."
She lowered her eyelids, and her long eyelashes hid the emotions in her eyes.
"I'm sorry. I had thought too much. I won't do it again in the future. Young Master Yardley, if you don't have any orders for me, I shall excuse myself."
Maddox did not speak, but his aura was cold. It was obvious that he wanted her to get out of here quickly.
Kimberly turned around and walked outside. She held her head high and puffed out her chest. Every step she took was heavy.
She did not notice that Maddox, who was behind her, was looking at her with a complicated emotion in his eyes.
"What's wrong with this woman? She's always trying to assume my thoughts. Does she really regard herself as my wife?"
"Ah, you really don't know what's good for you."
However... seeing her close her eyes with a disappointed look on her face, Maddox felt his heart skip a beat. He felt inexplicably distressed...
Perhaps it was just an illusion.
A vain woman like her must be thinking of ways to seduce him.
