Chapter 79
Chapter 79
Sam Sorrento immediately retreated in fear. He was still frightened after avoiding the punch. He put his hand on his chest and said, "Young Master, if you kill me, then there wouldn't be anyone else who could assist you in your matters anymore."
Hearing what he said, Maddox Yardley sneered.
"You're not indispensable." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Sam's heart throbbed, as if he was shot by many arrows. He implored, "Young Master, I have been working for you for so long. Are you that heartless?"
Maddox yelled,"... Get out!"
It was disgusting for a grown-up man to act cute in front of him.
Sam sighed and turned around to leave. After giving it some thought, he suddenly turned his head back, and asked, "Oh yes. Young Master, what should we do about Assistant Shell?"
Upon hearing his question, Maddox remembered that stubborn woman just now. She did not even want to explain to him. Why should he be concerned about her then?
"I don't care." Maddox's tone was cold. There was no hint of warmth at all.
Sam paused for a moment and carefully confirmed, "Really? Do you not care about her at all? Assistant Shell is pregnant."
Maddox's brows twitched and he gritted his teeth. "Why are you so concerned about her? Would you like to have her instead?"
Sam's expression was wretched when he heard his words. "Young Master, I didn't mean that. Since you don't care about her, then I won't care about her either.
Sam left right after that.
Only Maddox was left in the large room now. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
Humph. How reckless was this woman to have followed him all the way here? What was she trying to find out about him? Did Old Master Yardley instruct her to do this?
Other than looking for that woman, Maddox could care less about other things. He would not allow anyone to interrupt or stop him.
The night breeze was blowing tenderly, and the warm light was shining brightly.
Maddox finished washing up and went to bed with Sam's help. He closed his eyes.
However, as soon as he closed his eyes, a woman's face showed up in the darkness. The woman's face, which was as small as a palm, had refined facial features, and her eyes were as deep as the bottom of a cold lake. However, after being stained with tears, her ocean-like eyes were as dazzling as the stars, stunningly beautiful.
Maddox opened his eyes in an instant, and his dark eyes suddenly became sharp.
D*mn it!
Why did he think of that woman's face just when he was about to fall asleep?
Kimberly Shell... What was so charming about that woman? That he even...
Thinking of this, Maddox tightened his fists. He released them after a while. He sat up and summoned Sam, who was just about to leave.
"Young Master?" Sam was about to turn off the lights when he heard Maddox's voice. Puzzled, he looked back and asked, "What's wrong?"
It was late at night. Inside an empty room in the villa, there were a small bed, a round table, a small window, and nothing else.
Kimberly was locked in the room after she was brought here by those people in the afternoon.
Although they didn't do anything to her, those men were strong. Her arms were bruised and swollen after they grabbed her.
Thinking of this, Kimberly took a look at her arms and reached out to rub them. The pain made her frown, so she withdrew her hand and curled her petite body at the corner of the bed.
This villa was so big...
It was quiet outside. No one had brought her food ever since she got here in the afternoon, so she was starving...
Those men probably had already left.
Kimberly started to panic at the thought that she might be the only one left in the villa.
Then, her active brain began to conjure up all kinds of horrible images in her mind.
Thud—
All of a sudden, the power supply in the room was cut off.
Ah!
Kimberly screamed out of fear in the dark and she instinctively curled her body tighter.
The light that was still shining brightly earlier was gone, and Kimberly was almost scared to death.
She... was afraid of the dark!
Kimberly bit her lower lip. She wanted to ask if there was anyone else, but she didn't dare to speak. She was afraid that she would be disappointed if she asked.
She sat up and hid herself in the corner of the room. She lowered her head to bury her face in her knees. Tears were rolling down her cheek uncontrollably.
Thud—
Kimberly seemed to hear some noise in the silent darkness.
Her hair stood on end and she held her breath.
Thud—
There was another sound again. In such a silent night, the sound was like a hammer hitting on Kimberly's heart, and every strike was fatal!
Kimberly felt that she was on the verge of a mental breakdown. She bit her lower lip and she began to hate Maddox Yardley!
That b*stard! She would rather be punished or tortured by those people than to be trapped here and suffer from such mental torture. It was too unbearable.
Kimberly could still hear the sound initially, but... she probably became accustomed to the noise after a while, so she couldn't hear the sound anymore. She had no idea how much tears she had shed. She couldn't seem to cry out any tears anymore.
When Maddox arrived at the villa, he glanced at the dark villa and asked in a cold voice, "What happened?"
Upon seeing Maddox coming, the men guarding the villa quickly went forward to report, "Young Master, the power supply in the villa was suddenly cut off! We're in the midst of fixing it now!"
Even though this villa belonged to the Young Master, he seldom came here, so everyone was rather complacent.
About two minutes later, Maddox frowned. "Is this the so-called urgent repair?"
The man's face instantly turned pale. He immediately answered, "Young Master, I'll make a call to confirm the progress."
"Forget it!" Maddox said, and then he asked, "Where is that woman whom you had brought here in the afternoon?"
"Young Master, she is in a small room on the third floor. We don't know how to deal with her, so... we locked her up first." the man replied. After that, the man glanced at Sam, who nodded. It was right not to deal with her. After all, Maddox, who should have been asleep at this time, suddenly showed up here for Kimberly. The consequences might be dire if they really did something to Kimberly.
However, they didn't expect that Maddox would give off an intimidating aura after hearing that they had locked her in the room. "What happened after the blackout? Did anyone check on her?"
The man was stunned, shaking his head as he replied, "No, not yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him became even tenser. Sam immediately noticed that something was wrong and urged, "Young Master, let's go up."
"But... the electricity has not been fixed yet so the elevator can't be used at all." The man who was guarding the door subconsciously looked at Maddox's legs. "Young Master, I'm afraid..."
He didn't dare to complete his sentence. Everyone knew that Maddox was sensitive about his legs. If he mentioned that in front of Maddox, he would only bring troubles upon himself.
Maddox raised his eyebrows. Sam swiftly pushed him forward at full speed. "It's all right. I'm a strong man. I'll carry you upstairs by myself, Young Master!"
After saying that, they soon disappeared from their sight. Sam then shouted from a distance, "Don't follow me, or else the Young Master will chop you."
Everyone shivered with fear. They wanted to thank Sam for pushing Maddox away. How would they dare to follow him? After all, they all noticed the murderous look in Maddox's eyes just now!
