Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 124

After making an appointment with the Hanover Corporation, Kimberly felt refreshed.

She had mentioned that she would treat Quill to dinner, but she never had the chance to. Sylvia always said that he was very busy. It seemed that... he was indeed actively occupied. He only had half an hour, and it was during meal times.

Kimberly checked Quill's eating habits and then booked a restaurant.

When she ordered the food, she felt worried. She didn't have enough money...

Theoretically, she could claim the expenses from the company. But she still cared about the Lovis Enterprise incident, therefore she didn't dare to claim it from the company. She just wanted to pay for it herself. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Now that she was broke, how could she treat Quill to dinner?

After thinking for a long time, Kimberly picked up her phone and called her sister, Erica.

Ever since Kimberly left the Shell family, she had never contacted her family again. Her family had also never contacted her. It was like they had disappeared from the face of the Earth. They never asked how she was doing in the Yardley family.

Therefore, when Erica received Kimberly's call, she immediately hung up. She was afraid that Kimberly would ask for her money back from last time.

When Kimberly saw that she had rejected the call, she sneered.

Did Erica think that by hanging up the phone, Kimberly would give up? After Kimberly got off work, she went straight to the school gate to confront her.

At this hour, there should be no one in school, but Erica was different from other girls. She had dancing practice after class. Kimberly was there as soon as her dance practice ended.

Kimberly saw Erica coming out with a few of her dancing partners from a distance.

"Erica!" Kimberly called her name.

Erica was stunned for a moment and looked at her. When she saw her, her expression changed slightly.

"Erica, isn't that Kimberly?" Her friend asked.

"Kimberly came to see you. Do you still want to go out for dinner with us today?" questioned another.

Kimberly stood aside and waited calmly. Erica was a little impatient, saying, "You guys wait for me at the nearby cafe. I will come to you guys after I have a few words with her."

"Okay," they replied.

After her friends left, Erica looked at Kimberly discontentedly and complained, "Kimberly, why didn't you inform me in advance that you are coming? Why did you suddenly appear at the school gate? Isn't my life hard enough? Do you have to make it worse? My friends are all waiting for me." Kimberly had a blank expression on her face. She looked at her sister coldly and said, "I wanted to inform you, but did you answer the phone?"

Kimberly took out her phone and showed it to Erica, "I called you several times. Did you answer?"

Erica looked away, saying, "That's because I was dancing. I didn't hear your call because my phone is in silent mode. Kimberly, don't you know that I have to practice my dancing? And you still called me!"

"Well, your phone is in silent mode, I give you that. But don't you look at your phone after dancing?" Kimberly's face was still cold, and her tone was low. "Last time you took my deposit, I didn't bother to argue with you. I had tens of thousands of dollars in it, you'd better return 10 thousand dollars to me now."

Erica widened her eyes and asked, "Return you 10 thousand dollars? Kimberly, have you lost your mind? Didn't Mom tell you that she took the money? You should look for Mom. Why are you looking for me?"

Kimberly sneered and said, "You should know clearly who was the one who took the money."

"Anyway, I didn't take it, and I won't give you the ten thousand dollars either," Erica retorted.

"Is that so?" Kimberly curled her lips and said, "In fact, I have never wanted to take things too far since we are sisters. I have always been nice to you since you were a child. I gave you everything you wanted. But this time, you actually stole from me. As your sister, I have the obligation to educate you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kimberly grabbed Erica's sleeve and said, "Come with me to the police station. Or, let's go to your teacher. Let's see what you've learned in school."

She didn't have much strength, but she was as strong as Erica. Erica had a guilty conscience, and now when she heard what Kimberly was suggesting, she instantly panicked.

"Kimberly, don't do this. I didn't take your money. I really didn't spend your tens of thousands of dollars," Erica begged.

"It doesn't matter. We won't speak about it until we see your teacher or the police," Kimberly replied coldly.

Erica then tried her best to convince her sister, "Kimberly, you loved me the most when we were young. You always gave in to me. Please forgive me. If you take me to my teacher, I will be so embarrassed. My boyfriend will dump me when he finds out. Kimberly... you're the best. Please let me go this time."

"Are you finally willing to tell the truth?" Kimberly stopped dragging her. "Where is the money?" She demanded.

"The last time I invited everyone to my birthday party, I didn't expect everyone to show up. So, I spent your money to save face. You know, our parents would never give me that sort of money. And if Mom knew that I spent so much money on a party, she would definitely kill me. But Kimberly, I just casually invited everyone. I didn't expect so many people to attend. They even brought their friends. I had no choice. Kimberly, please forgive me! We are sisters, just forgive me this time... I really didn't mean it. I would never take your hard-earned money!" Erica frantically explained.

Then, Erica cried bitterly. She held Kimberly's arm and sobbed pitifully.

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

Her heart softened.

No matter what, Erica was her younger sister. She came here only for an explanation. Now that Erica had apologized and told her everything, Kimberly couldn't get angry at her.

"Sister, you're not angry with me, are you? Sorry, I really didn't mean to do it," Erica apologized again.

"So what if I'm angry? I can't kill you, right?" Kimberly was truly frustrated. She had saved up the money for a long time, but Erica blew it all on one party. Now, when she really needed it, there was none left.

"I'm really sorry, Kimberly. I still have 2,000 dollars. I'll give it to you." Erica took out her wallet and handed 2,000 dollars to Kimberly. "This is the only money I have left. I always wanted to return it to you. But when you questioned me, I was a little scared and didn't dare to admit it," Erica said.

Looking at the 2,000 dollars, Kimberly felt a little uncomfortable. She asked, "This is all the money you have left, what would you do if you gave them to me?"

Erica wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, Kimberly. My classmate has a meal card. I'll just share their food. Otherwise, you can give me 100 dollars. I will buy some bread to eat. This is my fault. I should accept the punishment."

As they were siblings, they had a very good relationship when they were young, even until now... Kimberly was not willing to let her suffer. Now, she even took the initiative to admit that she was wrong. Kimberly's heart softened.

Kimberly said, "Forget it. Half for each person. Leave 1,000 dollars for yourself. I really can't do anything about it, I'm in urgent need of money. When I get my pay, I'll give you a little more."

Hearing this, Erica's smile froze. She asked, "Kimberly, after you married into the Yardley family... do you not live a good life there?"
