Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 181

"Ethan, that's enough." Hayden Zais, his friend, reminded him, "Do you think someone like her is an ordinary person? She's standing beside the daughter of the Hanover family! Maybe she is also from a wealthy family. We can't simply flirt around."

This group of people liked to play with women.

They would use their wealth to dismiss those who didn't have status and money.

But they also had their limits. They didn't play with the women in their social circle, unlike Chandler. As a result...

Hayden said, "You know what happened to that man, Chandler Lovis. He was a playboy last time. Because of him, the Lovis family went from a stable place in North City to hardly surviving. You don't hear from them now, do you?"

Ethan said, "If she is from a well-known family, how come we've never seen her before? She would be famous if she came from a wealthy family."

Hayden replied, "It's simple. Ask someone to investigate it and you'll know."

At this moment, Kimberly finally found somewhere to sit down. After she sat down, she tidied the shawl on her shoulders. Sylvia couldn't help laughing beside her.

"Why are you so shy? The dress is meant for you to wear it and show off to everyone. What is the point of covering it up..."

Sylvia tried to pull the shawl away as she spoke. Kimberly was shocked and her face turned pale, "Don't..."

Vera couldn't help but glance at Sylvia.

"Don't do that. If Kimberly doesn't want to, just let her be. I think that she still looks good with a shawl."

Sylvia looked at Vera again. She found that this girl was always so hostile towards her.

She retorted, "What did I do? I am Kimberly's best friend. I just want her to look good. What's wrong? Is that a problem?"

Vera sneered and said, "It's not a problem, but you should not force her."

"Stop arguing." Kimberly stopped them and said, "Get something to eat. I'll go tidy up in the washroom."

After that, Kimberly lifted the hem of her dress and stood up. Vera stood up after her and said, "There are so many people here, will you be able to replace the washroom? I'll go with you."

"No, you should wait here." Then, Kimberly turned around and walked away. She remembered passing by the washroom somewhere. She just needed to retrace her steps.

Kimberly held her dress and went to the washroom to tidy up. She wanted to use a pin to cover the deep V design of her dress, but it was not possible. The dress was too tight. The more she tried to cover herself, the bigger her chest looked. She was in the washroom for a long time and had to concede defeat at long last. She covered her shoulders with the shawl again and walked out of the washroom.

As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, Kimberly was stopped by a good-looking man.

He asked with a smile, "Pretty girl, do you know where you're going? Let me take you."

Kimberly looked at him warily and then took two steps back.

She said curtly, "Thank you, but my friends are waiting for me at the front. I can go by myself."

She then stepped aside, but the man stopped her again. He said teasingly, "I just wanted to make friends with you. What are you afraid of? My name is Ethan Arnold, the only child of the Arnold Group. I come in peace. I just want to get to know you. If you don't want me to walk you back, you can give me your phone number."

"I'm sorry, please move away." Kimberly knew that ordinary employees like her couldn't afford to offend these rich people at the banquet. She had to politely ask him to leave.

However, the more she tried to avoid him, the more Ethan liked her. When he took a closer look, he noticed the light coat of makeup on her face. Her skin was smooth and delicate, which enticed him even more.

"I swear I won't bully you. I just want to know you. Can't I have your number?" Ethan flashed a pitiful expression and stared at her like a little puppy. He looked very sincere. This look stunned Kimberly. After a while, she smiled awkwardly and said, "I truly have something else to do. My friends are waiting for me, I need to go first."

Being rejected many times, Ethan was nervous and he reached out his hand to grab her arm. "Um..." he tried to say.

"Let me go!" Kimberly shook off his hand forcefully. Ethan quickly withdrew his hand after seeing that her expression had darkened. He said hurriedly, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you. I did it in the spur of a moment..."

"Young Master Arnold, are you here to attend the banquet or to flirt with women?" Suddenly, they heard a sharp voice. Kimberly looked up and saw Sam pushing Maddox's wheelchair towards them. Seeing Maddox, Ethan's smirking face disappeared immediately. He looked at Maddox in horror.

He asked nervously, "Young Master Yardley, what brings you here?"

Sam glanced at him and snorted, "Do we need to report to you where Young Master Yardley goes? As for you, you are an invited guest, aren't you? What are you doing in the ladies' toilet?" After hearing this, Ethan's face turned pale. He glanced at Kimberly subconsciously and then looked at Maddox to observe his expression.

He replied, "I... got lost. I was just walking around."

"Just walking around?" Sam snorted coldly and said, "Then, why are you harassing our company's employee?" Maddox raised his eyelids slightly and his piercing gaze fell on Ethan's face. Ethan instantly felt a heavy pressure on his shoulder. He shrunk back and apologized, "Urn... I'm sorry. I didn't know that she was an employee of your company. I'll leave now!" After that, Ethan quickly turned around and left.

After he left, Kimberly heard Maddox scolding her, "Do you like men pestering you like that? One or two men is not enough, how many more do you want?" Kimberly's face fell instantly.

She asked incredulously, "What does it have to do with me?"

Ethan had obviously come to flirt with her on his own terms. What did it have to do with her?

Maddox then scrutinized her from head to toe. Kimberly looked down and noticed him staring at her dress. The look on his face was full of ridicule and disdain. He snorted softly. He echoed, "Nothing to do with you?"

Kimberly was so angry that she bit her lower lip and hissed, "Are you saying that he was pestering me because my dress is too revealing? Maddox, you're so shameless!"

Maddox said, "Am I shameless, or do you have no sense of shame? As my wife, why are you dressing up like a pr*stitute in public?"

When Maddox had seen her revealing dress, his heart had started to burn unconsciously. He could see that those men's eyes were fixed on her, and he wondered if she didn't have any self-awareness. Pr*stitute... The label he threw at her p*ssed Kimberly off. Her eyes immediately turned red with tears of humiliation.

She yelled, "You really are a j*rk!"

Maddox looked at her coldly and ordered, "Take off your dress, change into another one."

"I don't want to!" Kimberly refused him without even thinking.

"What did you say?" asked Maddox.
