Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 180

There seemed to be a questioning tone in her last sentence.

Kimberly didn't know if she was mistaken, but she had never seen Sylvia so aggressive before.

After a moment of silence, Kimberly looked at her.

She asked, "Sylvia, what's wrong with you?"

After hearing that, Sylvia suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she had overreacted.

She shook her head and then looked down with a sneer.

She then replied, "You still dare to ask me what happened? I was there for you every time and I even investigated the truth for you. I just wanted you to escape this misery as soon as possible. You didn't dare to say a word or admit anything. I really don't know what's on your mind, so I want to know whether you like Maddox or not."

"Actually... I don't know either." Kimberly lowered her eyes, feeling very depressed. "I don't think I should like him, but..."

Sylvia's heart skipped a beat when she saw the conflicted look on Kimberly's face. She did not develop feelings for Maddox, did she?

Panicked, she said, "But what? Can't you see that he doesn't like you at all?"

When Sylvia came back to her senses, she had already blurted that sentence out. It was too late to take it back now.

Fortunately, Kimberly did not pay too much attention to Sylvia's emotions and expressions, but she was hurt by Sylvia's words. She nodded with a wry smile.

Kimberly said, "You're right. Of course, it's obvious that he doesn't like me at all."

Maddox not only didn't like her, but he had despised her.

Thinking of this, Kimberly's heart sank a bit. She couldn't cheer herself up.

Sylvia said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. Don't be sad..."

"I'm fine. Let's go in." Kimberly dismissed it, pulled Sylvia towards her office and they sat down together. Sylvia couldn't constrain her curiosity and opened the gift box, seeing there was a blue dress in it.

She gasped and said, "This dress... looks really good... I've seen this dress. It's the latest version by a famous Italian designer. I heard that it was auctioned for one million dollars."

Hearing this, Kimberly's hand trembled as she looked at the dress. The pen she was holding shook.

A dress that was auctioned for one million dollars...

Such a huge amount of money, just for this dress?

She suddenly thought of the 300,000 dollars that Benedict had given to her mother, and she gazed back at the million- dollar dress in front of her. Kimberly couldn't continue writing anymore, she put down the pen and stood up to put the dress away.

Sylvia asked, "What's the matter? It's such a beautiful dress. It is more beautiful than the one I bought for you. Why don't you wear this dress later instead?"

"No." Kimberly shook her head, rejecting Sylvia's proposal.

She said, "This dress is too expensive. One million dollars... I can't wear it."

After that, Kimberly put the box into the cabinet. She planned to return it to Benedict when she got the chance.

Sylvia sighed, "You always refuse other people's good intentions for you..."

Time flew by. In the afternoon, Vera came to the company to look for Kimberly. The three of them were going to get their makeup done together. When she saw Sylvia, her expression changed instantly. But when she remembered what Kimberly had said, she still squeezed out a smile and managed a simple greeting.

Sylvia then called for the makeup artist.

Eventually, night fell.

Finally, the Yardley Corporation anniversary banquet was starting after almost half a month of careful preparation. Other than the employees, everyone invited to the banquet were people of high social status. The banquet was full of elegant women and smartly-dressed men. The female employees wore dresses of various colors, all trying to be the best-dressed. They also wore a thick layer of makeup, gazing at the gentlemen at the entrance and giggled.

Several young masters gathered together and laughed at their actions.

They said, "Look at them, they are like hungry wolves looking at their prey. If nobody was watching, I think they would have pounced on us and tear us apart."

Another man said, "I think they are more horrible than hungry wolves."

Someone added, "Hey, look at those women. The makeup on their faces are so thick and their bodies are so exposed, but they are not good-looking and they don't look elegant at all. Don't tell me they think they could get our affection by dressing up... Tsk, do they not look in the mirror?"

Another man chuckled, "It's okay to have a try. After all, there may be a few of them who haven't got their cherries popped yet."

"Tsk, tsk. How is that possible? I think it's good enough to find a few good-looking ones with nice figures. Maybe..." muttered the rest.

As they spoke, they laughed together and the smile on their faces were particularly lewd.

Suddenly, someone grabbed one of the men's hand.

The person exclaimed, "Ethan, we've got a target!" This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

"What?" asked the man, Ethan Arnold.

The others looked in the same direction. Then, they saw three elegant figures walking over gracefully.

Vera wore a rainbow dress with a fishtail and there was a bright smile on her delicate face. Sylvia was wearing a white strapless dress, which was decorated with pearls. Her skin was snow-white and the smile on her face was pleasant, attracting a lot of attention.

As for Kimberly, she decided to wear that red dress Sylvia had bought for her. She had also put on a light- colored gauze shawl because of the deep chest design of the dress, but it did little to cover her exquisite figure.

These young masters felt the desire burning in the body upon seeing the women.

Kimberly walked very unnaturally because she felt like everyone was looking at her dress. Although she had already put a shawl on her shoulders, she still felt very uncomfortable.

She had an immaculate figure, but she looked innocent. Her indifferent eyes also attracted a lot of attention.

Just then, one of the men spoke, "Hey, the one in the green dress is not bad. Her figure is good and her smile is dazzling!"

"I think the one in white is better, her facial features are stunning. I think she's the daughter of the Hanover family. She's simply extraordinary," said another man.

His friend replied, "Don't say that. I was lucky enough to meet Mrs. Hanover, and I think this daughter of hers... To put it bluntly, she didn't inherit half of Mrs. Hanover's charm."

Ethan then said, "But the one in the red dress, although she doesn't look very natural, she is so charming, especially her eyes... they're like the blue ocean! D*mn, why do I feel like I'm falling in love again?"

His friend rolled his eyes and chided, "D*mn you. How many times do you fall in love each day?"

Ethan replied, "I've decided. If the girl in the red dress doesn't have a boyfriend, I'll get her."

The three girls received gazes from all directions. Kimberly was very shy and she hid behind Sylvia and Vera as she walked.

"Oh, she is so shy. I like that..." Ethan, the guy who supposedly 'fell in love', couldn't help smiling.
