Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 147

Kimberly had no time to think about the rumors. She only cared about the mysterious person who took the photos of her and Benedict. And sent the photos to Maddox.

Last night, when she went out with Benedict for dinner, she had paid attention to her surroundings but no one was around.

But then she suddenly felt like someone was following them.

It had never come across her mind that someone was really stalking her. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

But who was this person? Why did they take these photos and send them to Maddox? What was their purpose?

"What are you thinking about?" Vera blinked and looked at her innocently as she disrupted her thoughts.

Kimberly had known her not long ago, but she couldn't share her distress with anyone else. She conceded, "Tell me, under normal circumstances, who would want to hurt you?"

Hearing what she said, Vera rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "What an idiot you are! The first suspect would be someone who's jealous of you. Or someone who thinks your existence is threatening their benefits!"

Kimberly choked upon hearing this. This analysis made a lot of sense.

"Have you been framed? What's the matter?" Vera asked curiously.

"No, I'm asking for a friend of mine." Kimberly briefly told her the story, "It was only two months since my friend married her husband, but one day she was photographed when she went out with her colleague, and then the photos were sent to her husband. Who do you think was the culprit?"

"Married for two months?" Vera was lost in thought. "Does your friend have a bad relationship with her husband?"

Kimberly nodded without hesitation.

Her relationship with Maddox was not only bad but extremely terrible. The situation had gotten even worse, especially in recent days.

Vera then said, "Well, according to my analysis, there are two possibilities. One, someone admires your husband, so she deliberately took these photos to send to your husband to ruin your relationship."

Kimberly hurriedly interrupted her, "It's not my husband!"

Vera snorted, "Don't focus on the details. The second thing is that your husband doesn't trust you, so he found someone to follow you."

Kimberly said, "...I already told you it's not my husband."

She was a little speechless. Vera was really outspoken. Did she ask the wrong question to the wrong person?

Vera approached her sneakily and said with a smile, "Kimberly, are you really married?"

Kimberly said in a hurry, "No!"

She couldn't let the people in the company know that she and Maddox were married.

First of all, they were not a real husband and wife. It was better for her to keep their relationship in the dark. Anyway, there were still five more months before she would leave him.

Secondly, if the women in the company knew that she had married Maddox, they would definitely tear her apart.

However, Vera was adamant that Kimberly was talking about herself. No matter how Kimberly explained it, she just would not believe her.

In the end, Kimberly gave up.

Her phone suddenly vibrated. Kimberly glanced at it. It was a message from Sylvia.

It read, "Kimberly, let's have dinner tonight. I'll tell you the results."

Seeing this, Kimberly's hand trembled.

For the past two days, she had been deliberately hiding this matter. She didn't even take the initiative to find Sylvia.

But she didn't expect Sylvia to approach her first.

After thinking for a while, Kimberly agreed to Sylvia's request in the end.

Vera saw her tapping away on her cell phone, so she came over to take a look.

"What's going on?" asked Vera. Kimberly probably had a lot of things on her mind, so her hands shook as she was startled, and the phone fell to the ground.

"Why are you so nervous?" Vera bent down and picked up her mobile phone. After glancing at the phone, she gave it back to her.

Sylvia used her own photo as her profile picture. When Vera saw it, she felt that the woman was quite beautiful. But after taking a second look, she felt that her face was a little strange, so she couldn't help but ask,

"Is this your friend? She looks weird."

Kimberly wiped the screen of her mobile phone. When she saw that the phone was not broken, she was relieved.

She then told Vera, "Don't talk nonsense." Kimberly and Sylvia had been good friends for so many years and Sylvia treated her like a sister. Thus, Kimberly suddenly became unhappy when she heard Vera commenting on Slyvia's profile picture like that.

Vera pouted, "I wasn't talking nonsense. Look at the corners of her eyes and her eyebrows, and the corner of her face. She looks like a cunning villain no matter how I see it."

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

Vera added, "If someone stabbed you with a knife, it might be her."

Kimberly would never know that what Vera said had a shred of truth.

She didn't know anything at that moment. She was still annoyed because someone had judged her best friend rudely.

She said, "Vera, I choose to befriend you because you are a good person. But I didn't expect you to make such a comment just by looking at a photo. Sylvia is my good friend. I don't want others to comment on her like this. Do you understand?"

Vera smacked her lips and said, "Well, if you don't like it, then I won't continue. But she really looks like the typical hypercritical woman... Fine, fine, I'll stop talking. Let's eat!"

The atmosphere became unpleasant and Kimberly left right after finishing her meal.

She rested for a while and began to sort out the documents.

On the way, Benedict came to Maddox to discuss some of the company matters. When he passed by her, he brought her a glass of warm milk.

When Kimberly saw the glass of milk, and she suddenly became nervous.

Someone had taken photos of them having a meal the day before. Would the same person also take a photo of him sending her the glass of milk?

All of a sudden, Kimberly thought of the two possibilities that Vera had mentioned.

In fact, it was not necessarily that someone had framed her. Perhaps it was Maddox who had constantly assumed that she was a playgirl. He was afraid that she had cheated on him, so he had asked someone to follow her and secretly take photos of them.

Thinking of this, Kimberly swallowed a mouth of saliva.

She said, "Brother Yardley, I don't need it."

Nevertheless, Benedict smiled gently and said, "I just happen to have it with me. Don't worry, no one else will notice it."

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

"I need to talk to Maddox now," he then said.

After Benedict left, Kimberly held the glass of milk in her hands. The warmth from the milk transmitted to her palms and warmed her heart.

Benedict was a really considerate person.

After drinking the milk, Kimberly felt a warm sensation in her abdomen, and she felt much more comfortable.

Kimberly was exhausted when it was time to go home. There were too many documents and she felt dizzy just staring at them.

When she was ready to take her bag and leave, the office door opened just in time.

"Have you finished your work?"

The cold voice passed through the air.

Kimberly stopped and turned around to look into Maddox's eyes.

"It's time to get off work..." She whispered in response.

Maddox's eyes were indifferent as he spoke, "Since when did the Yardley Corporation let their staff leave the company before they finish their work?"

Kimberly was speechless. Was he asking her to work overtime?

Kimberly knew that he wanted to torture her. She bit her lower lip lightly and explained in a timid voice, "Can I come early tomorrow to do the rest? I have an appointment with Sylvia to have dinner, I..."
