Quill was indifferent but Kimberly felt a little embarrassed.

She took out her room card and unlocked the door. "Please come in."

Quill grabbed his briefcase and followed Kimberly. "Nash told me everything."

Kimberly placed her handbag on the table and nodded. "Well, since you've investigated me, then I think you should know about my background."

Quill did not reply but the look on his face suggested that he knew everything like the back of his hand.

It would be better for him to know.

Otherwise, Kimberly would have to explain the situation to him when asking for help. Quill knew everything and that made things easier.

"Well, can I ask a favor?"

Quill's lips curled into a smile and nodded. "Sure but..."

But? Kimberly was a little surprised. There was a condition to it?

"There's no reason for me to do you a favor. Before I help you, I need to ask if you'll return to the Hanover family."

Kimberly did not know what to say. She never expected that he was referring to her real identity.

Kimberly was at a loss for words.

"Mr. Hanover, I..."

"You're still addressing me as Mr. Hanover?" Quill smiled and his eyes were gentle.

Kimberly's impression of Quill never really changed. Although Quill was composed, he gave off a powerful and unapproachable aura. Usually, he would be expressionless. Even if he was to talk to his family members, he would be serious and stern.

Unexpectedly, he flashed a warm smile at her.

Was that... The power of family affection?

Kimberly stared at Quill cluelessly. Later... She did not know why but family affection seemed to get to her. She muttered, "Quill..."

However, Kimberly choked on the word. She covered her mouth hurriedly and did not continue.

Yet, it was enough for Quill.

He stretched out his hand again. Kimberly wanted to avoid him but somehow, she was rooted to the spot. In the end, Quill's palm landed on her head. Quill caressed her head with a bright smile.

"That's more like it. Remember, the Hanover family is here for you. If you need anything, I... will always be around. You're my sister, okay?"

Why did he sound like he was talking to a child? Kimberly blinked and nodded blankly.

"How do you want to solve your problem?" Quill asked her about Maddox.

"I want a divorce but... I don't want to see him."

"Okay, I'll get someone to do it." Quill nodded. As a brother, he would never refuse his sister's request.

That was it? Kimberly thought that he would think about it. Unexpectedly, he accepted her request.

Kimberly paused for a moment and asked, "Can I... leave North City?"

"You're leaving because of him?"

Although it was a little embarrassing, Kimberly admitted frankly, "I don't want to see him again or stay in the same city. I..."

"No problem. Our family has some companies abroad too. I can send you abroad but are you okay with that?"

Abroad? Kimberly never thought about that. She wanted to leave North City but Quill suggested that she should go abroad.

"After going abroad, you can attend some courses. You'll have a better future. You're the best and you shouldn't be troubled by some men. You'll meet someone better."

"I'll deal with Maddox, so don't worry. If you're up for it..."

"I'll go!" Kimberly nodded and bit her lower lip. She widened her eyes at Quill and added, "I want to leave today!"

Quill was blank. He stared at her and agreed to it.

"Alright, I'll get Juliette to prepare everything. You should go and pack. I'll go back to the company." After Quill left, Kimberly went to pack her things.

As she started to pack, she realized that she did not have anything to pack. Before she went to the Yardley family, nothing belonged to her. After she went to the Yardley family... Maddox gave her most of her possessions.

It suddenly dawned on her that her life was like a dream.

She did not have anything.

Kimberly found it ridiculous that she managed to live like that, therefore she stopped packing. She sat on the bed and stared at the scenery quietly.

In the afternoon, Juliette came to the hotel to pick up Kimberly.

"Mr. Hanover asked me to pick you up. I've booked an eight o'clock flight for you. Is that okay? Should I change the time?"

"No." Kimberly shook her head and replied, "I'm okay with it. Thank you."

Juliette stared at Kimberly. Even though Juliette did not know if she should speak, she could not help but ask, "Miss Shell, did you tell your friends and family about this? Are you sure that... You won't regret it?" Friends and family?

The first person that came to mind was Vera. If Kimberly left, Vera would definitely miss her.

Judging from Vera's character, Kimberly could imagine that Vera would ask her to not leave.

"Forget it. I'll tell her later," Kimberly concluded in her As for the others...

"I'm alright. Secretary Sharpio, could you please inform the Shell family?"

Juliette was taken aback. She replied, "Of course, Miss Shell. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to tell me."

"Well, let's go."

Kimberly picked up her handbag and stood up.

Juliette was bewildered. "Miss Shell, don't you need anything else? You're leaving with a handbag?"

"Yeah, I don't have a lot of things. It's just a few sets of clothes, so this should do."

After that, Juliette sent Kimberly to the airport. It was nearly six in the evening when they arrived.

"Miss Shell, we still have some time before boarding. President Hanover is having a meeting. He'll arrive in half an hour to see you off."

"Okay."

Therefore, they waited at the airport for half an hour and Quill finally arrived.

Quill probably rushed to the airport, hence he seemed a little tired. He motioned to Juliette and she fished out the boarding pass and the passport from her handbag.

"This is..."

Kimberly received the passport. Her photo was on it but it was a different name. Even her date of birth and address was changed. Kimberly thought she took the wrong passport. Suddenly, she heard Quill's calm voice.

"Minerva."

She raised her head in astonishment.

"When you were born, grandfather gave you a name. From now on... You're Minerva Hanover."

"Minerva Hanover..." Kimberly brushed her own photo on the passport. That was her name?
