Kimberly widened her eyes and shouted, "Don't touch me!"
She bit on Maddox's thin lips with great force.
Maddox let out a muffled groan. Both of them could taste the blood.
He stopped kissing her because of the pain.
"It seems that Mrs. Yardley likes to bite people."
Maddox sneered and reached out his hand to wipe the blood on his lips away. He was a handsome man but he always put on a solemn face. He looked attractive when he smiled. With the bright red color on his lips right now, his murderous smirk made him look like an enraged lion, which was even more seductive now.
Kimberly seized the opportunity to push him away. Then, she hid in the corner.
"Maddox, what on earth do you want to do? Don't forget the deal between us. You don't want me to touch you, right? What were you doing just now then?"
Maddox remained silent. He just looked at her coldly.
Kimberly tidied her shirt. She bit her lip and looked at him.
The more she behaved like this, the more Maddox wanted to treat her badly. She was just a woman who had just gotten divorced. Also, she was pregnant with another man's child. Why should he treat her nicely?
However, Maddox canceled the operation when he heard that it would endanger her life.
"Maddox must be crazy." she thought.
After looking at her for a while, Maddox said, "I'm only interested in virgins." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
After saying that, Maddox wheeled himself out of the room.
The room became quiet again. Kimberly heaved a sigh of relief. She leaned against the cold wall, hugging her knees and weeping in a low voice.
Maddox stopped in his path when he heard Kimberly crying. Then, he sneered in disdain.
Although they had argued that day, Maddox did not mention that he wanted Kimberly to leave the Yardley family.
However, Kimberly was still very scared. She still had to go to the company as his assistant.
Maddox was still making things difficult for her.
Kimberly could only find ways to solve the problems. Although she was not smart, she was a determined person. Therefore, she would grit her teeth and endure it whenever Maddox humiliated her.
One day, the Old Master Yardley asked Kimberly to go to the study room. Standing in front of Old Master Yardley, Kimberly's heart was thumping wildly in fear. "How is your job as Maddox's assistant?" Old Master Yardley asked.
Kimberly thought for a moment and replied, "It's not too bad."
Old Master Yardley raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. He asked, "What do you mean by 'not bad'? Have you gained his trust?"
Kimberly couldn't understand what he was trying to say. She responded, "What?"
"Do you think just anyone could become his assistant? Erica, I have known your parents for a long time. I heard that you are a smart person. You should be able to understand what I'm trying to say."
Kimberly's heart skipped a beat. She asked in uncertainty.
"Old Master, do you mean..."
"Maddox's legs are not working well now. That's why his behavior is different now. He became a ruthless person and he does things without restraints. Yardley Corporation is a big company. I must not let him destroy this company. What you have to do now is to prevent him from doing anything harmful to Yardley Corporation. But, I guess you don't know much about business, right? Hence, you must report to me about his daily schedule."
Although Kimberly was not extremely smart, she was not dumb.
She understood what the Old Master was trying to say. She replied, "Old Master, do you want me to...keep an eye on him?" Old Master Yardley was agitated by her words. He was so angry that he grabbed the ashtray on the table and threw it at Kimberly.
"Ah!"
