Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 165

In the evening.

Kimberly got up from her bed and exited the room barefooted. She went to Maddox's study room and picked up the contract and the bank card from the trash bin. She couldn't help crying as she held the two objects.

Maddox was a b*stard.

She had brought these things back, but he threw them away without even looking at them.

It was as if he didn't care about them at all when he gave them to her in the first place.

They had never belonged to her. Therefore, it didn't matter if he wanted it or not.

But when Kimberly saw his cold expression, she couldn't help but feel sad.

Her suppressed sobbing proceeded to fill up the dim room.

After a long while, Kimberly finally wiped her tears dry. After putting away the contract and card properly, she went back to sleep, acting as though nothing had happened.

The next day, she went to the mall to look for Sister Crystal.

She asked, "Sister Crystal, how much is our shopping mall worth?"

Crystal narrowed her eyes and looked at her, questioning in return, "Why are you asking me that?"

Kimberly replied, "I just want to know the value of the shopping mall. Can you tell me?"

Sister Crystal said, "As you can see, this big shopping mall earns tens of millions of dollars per month, not to mention it's during the offseason. How much do you think it's worth?"

What she said was true. It was almost impossible for Kimberly to estimate the value of this shopping mall.

That meant she couldn't buy it for now. She bit her lip and began to think about what she should do.

"You're not planning to buy the shopping mall, are you?" Sister Crystal asked. She had read Kimberly's mind.

Hearing this, Kimberly smiled awkwardly and said, "It's ridiculous, isn't it? I don't know... Why do I have such an absurd idea?"

"No." Sister Crystal said with a faint smile, "This proves that you are independent. You don't want to depend on Maddox. I support that.

Kimberly's gloomy eyes lit up and she looked at Sister Crystal happily.

She said, "Do you really support me? But... as you said, the value of this shopping mall is immeasurable. I... can't afford it at all."

Sister Crystal smiled, "You don't need to buy it immediately, silly girl. You can calculate how much profit you will make in the future and then give it back to Maddox. Do you think it's so easy to manage a shopping mall? You will need to gain back the effort you put in, and Maddox won't lose anything."

Speaking of this, Sister Crystal sighed silently.

She didn't know what the relationship was between Maddox and Kimberly. Obviously, Kimberly was very uneasy to take his things and wanted to clarify everything to him. If that was the case, it would be bad for Maddox.

However, Sister Crystal hadn't seen Maddox recently, so she didn't know what was going on.

"Really?" Kimberly was still doubtful.

Sister Crystal replied, "Of course, but the mall has to gain more profit. You should think of a strategy first."

Kimberly cheered up and nodded, "Okay!"

After that, Kimberly approved the salary forms and then went back to the company for work. Now, she would learn about business during her meals. She especially bought a lot of business-related books from the bookstore.

Every day, she studied whenever she had the time between work and break hours.

She was very focused.

Kimberly noticed that she had less time to think about anything else. She had always been worried about what Benedict did the other day and her relationship with Maddox. But now, studies seemed to motivate her.

When she had more important things to do, all her worries seemed to disappear. She would only think about Benedict and Maddox during her spare time, or before she fell asleep.

But... because she didn't know how to deal with them, the issues still remained unsolved.

Nonetheless, she started to suspect that perhaps Sylvia really did something bad behind her back. She had been giving Kimberly lots of gifts. It had only been a week, and Kimberly had received four gifts from

her.

On this day, Kimberly couldn't help asking when Sylvia came to give a gift to her again.

She asked, "Sylvia, what's wrong with you lately? You are giving me a lot of stuff these days."

Sylvia waved her hand awkwardly and said, "Didn't I explain it before? I came across them and I thought of you. That's why I bought them for you! Look, I have one too. We are best friends, isn't it nice that our outfits can match?"

"It's not bad. It's just that these things are too expensive. You don't have to buy them all for me. Don't give any more stuff to me," said Kimberly.

Sylvia suddenly stopped talking. Kimberly was silent for a while and asked her," Sylvia, do you feel sorry for me?"

Sylvia was frightened when she heard that. She abruptly looked up at Kimberly and hurriedly asked, "Kimberly, why do you think so?"

"If not, why are sending me all these gifts? In fact..." Kimberly paused, "If this is because of that incident, you don't have to feel sorry for me, because... it was not your fault. We couldn't have predicted it." Before the investigation, Kimberly had never thought that the person she was looking for would be Benedict.

Although she still didn't believe it until now.

Sylvia looked up at her.

She asked, "Kimberly, do you not believe me?"

Kimberly paused for a moment and then shook her head, saying, "I believe you, but... I can't accept it."

Sylvia stared at her calmly.

"Then... do you like Maddox?" asked Sylvia.

Did she like Maddox? Did she like him? Before this, Kimberly would confidently answer "No".

But now... she didn't know what she felt anymore.

Thinking of this, Kimberly smiled faintly. "I don't like him."

However, Sylvia's eyes darkened as she said, "Kimberly, you've changed."

"What do you mean?" asked Kimberly.

Sylvia said, "I've asked you this question before. You always answered very decisively. But now, you're hesitant." Kimberly was speechless and she asked, "Is that so?"

She didn't realize it herself.

She had also forgotten...

Sylvia lowered her eyes, and her heart ached. After a while, her eyes fell on Kimberly's lower abdomen.

She asked again, "Then... are you not going to tell Benedict about this?"

Kimberly did not pay attention to Sylvia's emotions. She was also very helpless.

Kimberly replied, "I'm not sure yet, but... I don't think he can accept it. Besides, once this matter is revealed, it would be a scandal for the Yardley Family."

"So what?" Sylvia suddenly became agitated and said, "No matter what kind of scandal it would be, he is still the man from that night. He is the child's father! Don't you want to replace a biological father for the baby? Or do you like Maddox? Do you want Maddox to be the father instead?"

Kimberly seemed to realize something from her speech.

She stared blankly at Sylvia, feeling that Sylvia had given her some sort of direction.

Sylvia was right. How could she... let Maddox become the father of her baby?
