"Humph, what are you even talking about? It's the same."

Erica turned to check out the hotel room. She was still upset. "In any case, I can understand what you mean. You're just miserable that you're my sister. Yet now, you're living in a high-class hotel and you became a member of the Hanover family. You don't have to tolerate a sister like me after this. You must be really happy."

Kimberly did not know how to explain it to Erica. She had been with Erica for so many years, therefore she knew that Erica was oblivious to her explanations.

"Whatever. I'm very tired and I need to sleep."

Kimberly went to the bedroom.

Erica snorted and did not move.

Kimberly was taking a nap while Erica studied the huge hotel room. Erica was very unhappy but something suddenly dawned on her. She went to the bathroom and took some selfies.

After taking some selfies, she was satisfied with the outcome. Therefore, she ended up taking pictures in every corner of the room and uploaded them to her social media accounts.

Ever since Erica was a child, she was vain and she would compare herself with others.

The hotel room was great, hence she posted some selfies, hoping that her friends would give her more attention.

As expected, shortly after she posted the selfies, a lot of people complimented her.

Erica's mood improved as she held her mobile phone.

Erica was no longer in the hotel room when Kimberly woke up. Kimberly fished out her mobile phone and browsed through the messages. Erica texted Kimberly and informed her that she left to have fun with her friends.

Kimberly put down her mobile phone and went to wash up.

She had been holed up in the hotel room for days and she could not continue doing that. She needed to cheer up and get a new job. Moreover... Although Maddox gave her the divorce paper, they had yet to file a divorce.

Therefore, she needed to meet Maddox to settle everything.

It was better to settle everything as soon as possible, hence she decided to go immediately.

Kimberly got dressed and put on some makeup.

Usually, she would just use lip balm but that day, she put on a bright red lipstick.

She stared at her own reflection in the mirror. She finally looked a little better.

She had no choice...

She did not want to make a fool of herself in front of Maddox. Furthermore, she did not want him to get the wrong idea. She would not lead a miserable life without him. She was not sad or upset because of him.

Even if she was sad... She had to hide her emotions.

Kimberly pursed her lips and smiled at her own reflection.

She could do it.

She walked out of the door and someone immediately approached her. The man asked politely, "Miss Shell, are you going out?"

Kimberly paused and asked curiously, "You are..."

"Mr. Hanover asked us to protect you, Miss Shell. Are you going out? Should we call the driver?"

Kimberly was a little surprised but she shook her head. "It's okay, I can get there on my own." "Don't worry, Miss Shell. The driver is on standby

24/7."

Kimberly was a little embarrassed but she was careful. She stared at the man suspiciously and asked, "Did Mr. Hanover really ask you guys to stay here?" The man put on a faint smile and answered, "Miss Shell, don't worry. Mr. Hanover sent us and we will not harm you. A few days ago, you met the driver too." She met the driver?

"The driver who sent me to the hotel?"

"Yes, Miss Shell." "Well... Okay, thank you." Kimberly finally nodded.

She was not being paranoid. After all, she was a woman and she was staying at the hotel on her own. What if she was targeted? The man's reply assured Kimberly. When she got downstairs, she spotted the same driver from five days ago.

"Miss Shell." The driver was very respectful and Kimberly nodded to him. "I'll be your driver after this."

Kimberly got in the car and asked, "How... Should I address you?"

"Miss, you can call me Nash."

"Okay. Thank you, Nash. Please drop me at Yardley Corporation."

Nash was taken aback when he heard that. He asked, "Miss, you're going to Yardley Corporation?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No, I'll head over there now."

After arriving at the entrance of Yardley Corporation, Kimberly got out of the car. Before leaving, she instructed, "Nash, please wait for me. I'll need to head back later." "Yes, Miss Shell."

After that, Kimberly strode into Yardley Corporation. It had been a long time since she showed up and she was dressed differently, therefore she attracted a lot of attention. Kimberly wanted to go upstairs to meet Maddox. Unexpectedly, the security guards stopped her at the entrance.

"Miss Shell."

Kimberly stared at the two security guards. She asked, "You know me?"

One of the security guards nodded and replied, "Assistant Sorrento gave us orders. You're no longer an employee in Yardley Corporation, so we can't let you go in." Kimberly paused and her heart throbbed.

The other day, she came to Yardley Corporation to look for him, hence he banned her from entering?

Maddox... He was a heartless man.

Bearing that in mind, Kimberly swallowed her grief. She did not forget what she came for. She answered coldly, "Alright, I don't have to go in. Please inform Assistant Sorrento and tell him that I have something to discuss with him."

"Well..." The two security guards exchanged doubtful looks.

Kimberly added, "I'm not looking for your president. I'm just asking for Assistant Sorrento, is that okay? I have something very important to tell him. I won't make it difficult for you."

"Well... Okay, please wait."

Kimberly hummed in response.

She turned around and waited at the entrance quietly.

She heard someone chatting behind her. "She still had the nerve to come here? The president barred her from entering but she's still

so shameless?"

"What did I tell you? I told you that the president would get tired of her, right? Look, that's faster than I expected." Winna and a group of people approached Kimberly. They were taunting her loudly. Kimberly lowered her eyes and clenched her fists.

"Kimberly, don't forget what you're here for today. You're here to settle a divorce with Maddox. You don't have to listen to that nonsense," Kimberly reminded herself quietly. Therefore, she held back and ignored them.

After she filed a divorce, she would leave this place forever. She would never appear in front of Maddox again.

"Hey, you're really shameless, huh? We're talking about you. You're no longer an employee in Yardley Corporation. Why are you even here?"

Kimberly ignored the group of people. However, one of them came up to her and pushed her.

Kimberly was not expecting that and she stumbled forward.
