Chapter 146
Chapter 146
"Let me go! Jonathan, don't you think it's ridiculous? You have been with your mistress since the day we got married, and you even have a child with her. She was about to give birth when we divorced, right? But now you are here to find fault with me?"
Kimberly threw the document in her hand and sneered, "Yes, I am pregnant, and it's an internal affair."
Jonathan stared at her incredulously.
He didn't expect Kimberly to admit it.
"What's wrong?" Kimberly sneered again, and her eyes were cold as she spoke, "Why, can't I do the same too?"
"You...!" Jonathan was speechless and he pointed at her in anger.
She slapped his finger away and added, "Be careful. You're not the only one who can have an affair. Stop stalking me."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
This time, Jonathan did not chase after her.
He was probably shocked, so he stood there for a long time before he realized what had happened. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
He seethed, "Sh*t, how dare you talk so shamelessly after having an affair? Just you wait and see!" Later, Kimberly arrived at the company. She was late because of her check-up at the hospital. She felt unwell, thus, she took some pills once she arrived at her desk.
After thinking about it, Kimberly went to knock on Maddox's door.
"Come in."
His indifferent voice was devoid of emotion.
Kimberly pushed the door open and walked in. She hesitantly walked towards Maddox and wanted to ask for leave.
However, Maddox opened his mouth before her and said, "You're just in time. Sort these documents for me please."
Sam was standing next to him, and he widened his eyes.
Kimberly was speechless.
She had initially wanted to ask him for leave.
"Um... I..." stammered Kimberly.
"Is there a problem?" Maddox lifted his eyebrows as he asked. He was exuding anger and his eyes were as sharp as they were earlier that morning.
"No, no problem." She pursed her lips and stretched out her hands to take the documents.
There were a lot of documents, and Kimberly struggled to carry them alone. Sam could not bear seeing her like this and wanted to help her, but he hesitated the moment he saw Maddox glaring at him.
Kimberly carried all the documents out by herself, her legs trembling. She could not take all them in one go, so she had to make three trips.
By the time she finished moving the documents, she was already out of breath.
Looking at the documents on her desk, piled up like a mountain, she felt unpleasant.
Obviously, Maddox was deliberately torturing her.
In the office, after Kimberly had moved the documents away, Sam couldn't help asking, "Young Master Yardley, what's wrong? Those documents are obviously..."
"Shut up." Maddox interrupted him coldly and ordered, "Get out."
Sam felt helpless as he tried again, "But, Young Master Yardley..."
Maddox snapped, "Do you have nothing else to do?" "I'll leave now."
After saying that, Sam quickly left the office and closed the door behind him. Then, he went to Kimberly and looked at her for a while. He realized that her face was a little pale and he asked,
"Assistant Shell, you look pale. Are you not feeling well?"
Hearing Sam's voice, Kimberly looked up and forced a smile, "I'm fine. Don't worry. I'll sort the documents soon."
Sam licked his lips and said, "In fact, you don't have to be so serious about these documents. These are all..."
She cut him off, "It's okay. I'll sort them out carefully."
How could she not take it seriously? If she tried to take them lightly, Maddox would most probably pick on her and then assign her additional tasks.
It was better for her to get things done correctly. She would rather not spend time guessing why he was torturing her.
Sam no longer continued the conversation when he saw her determination. He just reminded her that it was lunchtime soon, and advised her to take a nap after eating. Kimberly thanked him and went to the canteen when it was almost a break time.
As soon as she arrived at the canteen, Vera came up to her eagerly.
She asked, "What happened yesterday? Why were you with Vice President Yardley? Was it because you fell out of favor with Young Master Yardley?"
Although these words were not very pleasant, Kimberly looked at Vera's innocent eyes and knew that she meant no malice. Thus, Kimberly replied helplessly, "It's not what you think."
Vera said, "I don't want to think so either. But yesterday, when Vice President Yardley approached you, you asked me to go away. It's easy to misunderstand the situation, okay? Do you know everyone else is gossiping about this? They're saying much more unpleasant stuff."
Hearing this, Kimberly was stunned and asked, "What did they say though?"
Vera then answered, "Just that you are extremely skillful in bed and managed to sleep with both of them. But they also said that you are so desperate to even sleep with a cripple."
Kimberly's face was already quite pale, and now she looked even worse.
Vera did not notice that and continued to tell her what had happened.
"They also said that you just happened to hook up with them for now and are willing to lose your dignity for wealth and status. They even mentioned that you will soon lose your luck and they will crush you."
Kimberly didn't know what to say.
Vera continued, "And there's something even more unpleasant, you..."
"Stop it," Kimberly interrupted her. She could more or less guess what she was going to say next. The people's words were basically just mocking her.
It was all the same no matter how many stories Vera told.
Vera was stopped, and she finally realized Kimberly's expression. She quickly said, "What's wrong? Your face looks pale. Are you mad with me? Let me clarify something, I was not the one who gossiped about you. I just told you what the others are saying behind your back."
Kimberly knew that she was just conveying messages, so she was not mad at her.
"I didn't mean to blame you, but you don't have to continue the story. I already know what they said," explained Kimberly.
"Really? Then, are the rumors true?" Vera came over and looked at her. Kimberly was quite speechless with her question.
Vera held her chin and added, "To be honest, you look blur. You don't look like someone who can be seductive. Besides, you are not as good-looking as me. I think I have a higher chance with Vice President Yardley, don't you think so?"
Kimberly still didn't know what to say.
"Don't ignore me please. I've read up about you. I am younger and more energetic than you. I think I should be more popular, so... I don't believe the rumors, for now!" Speaking of this, Vera smiled brightly and revealed her cute little canine teeth,
Kimberly suddenly felt that Vera was right. She was very energetic, cute and beautiful. Her personality was indeed very attractive.
As for herself, she was boring and dull. She could only hold back her anger in most circumstances.
Who would like her?
Thinking of this, Kimberly was a little upset.
Vera then comforted, "Don't be sad. Although you are not as good-looking as me, you are still one of the most beautiful women I know. As long as I dress you up properly, you will attract many men! However, you must promise not to steal them from me!"
