Chapter 85
"Jonathan Lowell, what rights do you have to question me? What does this have to do with you?" Kimberly stepped two steps back to keep a distance from Jonathan.
She did not understand why she would fall in love with the man standing in front of her. She even stayed faithful to him for the two years when they were married. She finally realized today that Jonathan was such a shameless person today!
Was it because he had disguised himself too well before? Or she was too dumb?
"Of course it has something to do with me!" Jonathan took a step forward and grabbed her shoulder. "How could you find another man shortly after we got divorced? And why is he treating you so well? He's so rich. Were you with him all this time? You were with him before we got divorced, right? I always thought that you were a good woman. I didn't expect you to be so materialistic and shameless!"
Kimberly was shocked!
She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. This person's shamelessness was beyond what she could imagine.
There was no point in talking to him anymore. Kimberly sneered and stared at him emotionlessly.
"Yes, I'm materialistic. I'm shameless. I admit it. Could you let me go now?" Kimberly uttered. What a great ex-husband!
They were together for two years, yet the first thing he did when they finally meet again was to interrogate her. He had never considered whether he had done something wrong. He did not even notice that she was wearing a hospital gown without any shoes and that her face was pale. All he did was questioning her.
Kimberly thought that she must have been blinded by love.
"Let you go? That's impossible. You have to apologize to me." Jonathan insisted.
Kimberly said,"... Let me go."
"Kimberly, you have to apologize to my mother after apologizing to me. You lied to us..." Jonathan added.
"For the last time, let go of me!" Kimberly sneered. She was so mad that she slapped Jonathan in the face. The slap infuriated Jonathan.
"I’ve never thought you were a shrew. Well, since you are so shameless, I won't be polite to you anymore!" Jonathan growled.
Jonathan grabbed her arm and dragged her forcefully. However, how could a weak woman like Kimberly fight back? "Let me go, let go!"
"You shameless woman, I want you to go back with me and apologize to everyone in my family. And you'll need to tell everyone all the shameless things you've done to me!" Jonathan grunted.
"Let me go..." Kimberly's arm was hurting because of his tight grip, and her vision started to blur due to the violent dragging.
Suddenly, a tall figure stood in front of Jonathan and blocked him in his tracks.
Looking at the tall man who had suddenly showed up in front of him, Jonathan frowned and dragged Kimberly toward another direction. But he did not expect that the man would change his direction as well to block his way.
Jonathan was annoyed, so he asked, "Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
The man smiled slightly and said in a very gentle voice,
"Sorry, the woman you're dragging is my sister-in-law." the man said.
"Sister-in-law?" Jonathan wondered.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Kimberly looked up and saw Benedict Yardley.
He was wearing a neat white shirt, and he looked charming in it. Although he was standing in Jonathan's way, his gaze was still warm and gentle, looking like a modest gentleman.
Jonathan thought Benedict looked like a pushover, so he was not afraid of him at all.
"Even though she's your sister-in-law, she's still my wife. I have the right to do whatever I want her to!" Jonathan stressed.
"I just said that she's my sister-in-law, and you're saying that she's your wife. Are you my brother? There must be sort of a mistake here." A crooked smile writhed across Benedict's face, but he looked intimidating. Jonathan said, "You are annoying. Don't meddle in my business. This is between me and her."
"Let her go. I'll give you five seconds."
Speaking of this, Benedict took out his mobile phone and dialed 911.
"Don't blame me for calling the police if you refuse to let go of her before the call is connected. I think... the police should be very responsive when it comes to human trafficking on the street." Benedict said.
Benedict put the phone on speaker mode.
"Beep,"
"Beep,"
Benedict's expression clearly showed that he was not joking around and it scared Jonathan away. After hearing the phone beep three times, he could not bear it anymore and let go of Kimberly. Then, he glared at Kimberly and said, "Just wait and see, luck will not be on your side every time."
After that, Jonathan ran away from the scene expeditiously.
Benedict quickly ended the call. Kimberly looked at Benedict, uttering, "Benedict... thank you."
As soon as she finished her words, she fell forward feebly.
Benedict was shocked and he reached out to catch her, taking her into his arms.
When he touched her, he found out that Kimberly was very thin, to the point that he could even feel her bones.
"Erica?" Benedict called her, yet Kimberly had closed her eyes and passed out.
Benedict looked at her, somewhat anguished. He stuffed his phone back into his pocket with one hand, then held Kimberly's legs with the other hand to carry her in his arms.
At the same time, Maddox Yardley and Sam Sorrento happened to stumble upon this scene. They were following after Kimberly who had ran out a while ago.
When they saw the scene before them, Sam could clearly feel that Maddox's aura had turned inexplicably tense after seeing Benedict carry Kimberly in his arms. Sam, who was standing beside him, felt as if he was in hell.
He stuttered and explained for Kimberly, "Young... Young Master, I think Assistant Shell fainted."
Ha! Maddox sneered.
Of course, he knew that she had fainted.
Wasn't she quite energetic when she bit him? Yet, when she saw Benedict, she fainted and conveniently fell into his arms.
Oh.
What a s*tty woman!
"Assistant Shell hasn't eaten anything since yesterday, so it's normal for her to faint..." Sam was still trying to speak for Kimberly.
Maddox did not answer.
"Young, Young Master... shall we... go and bring Assistant Shell back?" Sam asked.
Maddox suddenly turned his head around and looked at him with a frosty gaze, sending a shiver down Sam's spine immediately. Sam immediately changed his question, "So, we are not going?"
"Why should I bring her back?" Maddox sneered. He was furious. "It's up to her to decide whose arms she wants to throw herself into."
Sam whispered,"... Young Master, are you jealous?"
Maddox threw a deadly glare at him. Sam took two steps back intuitively. "Young Master, if you don't want to go, then... I can do it for you," he said.
"How dare you!" Maddox snapped.
Well, he did not want Sam to go either.
Maddox did not admit that he was jealous, but when he saw that Assistant Shell was being carried in someone else's arms, Sam could tell that he was boiling with anger. One could clearly see what was happening.
"Where are we going now, Young Master?" Sam queried.
Maddox said, "Let's go back to the company."
"What about Assistant Shell?" Sam asked.
"Don't you dare mention her name again," Maddox warned. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Sam shut up immediately. Maddox rolled his wheelchair, gritting his teeth in anger.
That d*mned woman was just kissing him a while ago. And now she threw herself into another man's arms. Such a shameless and sl*tty woman!
