If she refused him directly, she would hurt Quill, her elder brother, right?

Thus, in the end, Kimberly didn't say anything, and she acquiesced.

Quill didn't stay for a long time. After she finished the oatmeal, he left. Before leaving, he said, "I've sent someone to protect you. Don't simply open the door, like what you did just now." Kimberly was too confused before that she wasn't really aware of what she was doing. Fortunately, it was Quill. If it was someone who wanted to hurt her, she could have been in trouble. She nodded and replied, "I understand."

After Quill left, Kimberly closed the door and went back to bed. She found that her mobile phone had been charged, and there was a laptop beside it.

It didn't look like a new one. As soon as Kimberly took it out, she saw a slip of paper with a password written on it.

She accessed the account and found that there were some documents in the laptop.

Could this be... Quill's laptop?

"Did he just give it to me like this? Isn't he afraid that I'll get his confidential business information?" She thought.

Or was it because he had found his sister thus he had put all his efforts into her, so he ignored all other things?

Thinking of this, Kimberly's heart was once again in chaos. She turned off the laptop and put it back.

It was not until the phone was fully charged that Kimberly turned it on.

The moment she turned on the phone, she received a lot of text messages from Vera. She could tell from Vera's words that she was anxious, so she gave her a call.

As she was calling her, Kimberly suddenly remembered it was already midnight. How would Vera answer it at this time?

Just as Kimberly was about to hang up the phone, the call was connected.

"Hello? Is it Kimberly?" Vera's voice was very hasty.

Kimberly felt like crying all of a sudden and answered, "Yes, it's me."

"Is it really you? Are you all right? Kimberly... Do you know we are worried about you? I just went to make a phone call, and you disappeared. What's going on? Where are you now?" Vera asked. "Don't worry." Kimberly faintly explained, "I'm in a hotel now. I'm fine. It's just... I wanted to be alone, so I left. I'm sorry for worrying you."

Vera sighed and said, "Of course I know you wanted to be alone. I would have too if I were you. How dare you only give me a phone call now. If you didn't call me to tell me you're safe, I don't think I can sleep tonight."

"Well, I'm telling you I'm safe now. It's late, you should go to rest," Kimberly said. "No! You have to send me your location so I know where you are. Then I can sleep at ease," Vera said.

Kimberly felt warm in her heart and nodded, "I got it. I'll send you the location later."

"I'll hang up then. Send it now," Vera reminded.

Clatter!

Vera hung up the phone directly before Kimberly could react. After that, she reluctantly logged into her social media and sent her current location to Vera. Only after receiving her location did Vera feel at ease.

After that, she warned her to take care of herself. Otherwise, she would come to her room to keep her eyes on her. Then, they ended the conversation.

After a long day, Kimberly was also tired. In addition, she had been a little sleepy recently, so she couldn't bear it at this time. After putting down her mobile phone, she soon fell asleep.

However, her dream was bad, to the extent where... it was so cruel that she wanted to open her eyes and leave the dream. In her dream, many voices were haunting her.

"From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. After signing this divorce contract, you will no longer be the Second Young Madam of the Yardley Corporation." "Get lost. How could I, Maddox, take a fancy to a married woman like you?"

"I'm pregnant with Maddox's child, and you're pregnant with an illegitimate child, Kimberly. If you insist on competing with me, you've got no chance to win."

After the nightmare, Kimberly finally woke up. When she awoke, the room was already bright, and the whole hotel room was illuminated by the sunshine coming in through the window. Kimberly touched her forehead vainly, and as expected, she broke out in cold sweat.

She got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face. After washing up, she came out.

When she came out of the shower, she heard the doorbell ringing. Kimberly looked at the time and found that it was 7:30 a.m. She wanted to open the door directly, but then she thought of Quill's words last night before he left. She looked through the peephole, only to replace a woman standing there.

After a pause, Kimberly opened the door.

"May I know who you're looking for?" She asked.

"Good day, Miss." The woman smiled and showed Kimberly the bag in her hand. "Mr. Hanover has ordered us to bring you breakfast."

Kimberly didn't expect that he actually prepared her meals. But... It was already midnight when she came to the hotel yesterday, and Quill had arranged all of these for her.

Didn't he sleep?

Thinking of this, Kimberly turned over and said, "Thank you, please come in."

The woman entered the room and opened the bag. Then she put out the food boxes one by one on the table and said, "It's my first time meeting you, Miss Shell, so I don't know your taste. However, please tell me what kind of dishes you like, and I'll make them for you."

"Thank you," Kimberly said.

"Take it easy. Just call me Loraine," the woman said.

"Thank you, Loraine. Apart from sweet food... I can accept anything else," Kimberly said.

Loraine nodded and smiled. "Got it. Miss Shell, you just got up, right?"

"That's right," Kimberly replied.

"Here is breakfast. Is there anything you need me to bring for you?" Loraine asked.

"I appreciate your kindness. I don't need anything for the time being." Kimberly chuckled.

"Okay, I'm taking off," Loraine said

"Take care." Kimberly spoke.

When Loraine was about to leave, Kimberly suddenly stopped her as she remembered something. Loraine stopped in her tracks in confusion and asked, "Yes?"

Kimberly stood up and walked to the bedside. She put the laptop into a briefcase and handed it to Loraine. "This is Mr. Hanover's laptop... he left it here last night. Can you return it to him?"

Loraine looked at the laptop in her hand and replied gently, "I don't think I can help you send the laptop, Miss Shell. I am a rough person, and if this laptop is broken..."

Hearing what she said, Kimberly realized that she was trying to refuse her. Kimberly felt that she was

being careless. If this laptop was used for work by Quill, it was hard to say what secrets would be on it. She shouldn't give it to others like this.
