At this moment, Sylvia didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, she felt proud of her intelligence. She curled her lips and reminded Kimberly, "Kimberly, the food is getting cold, finish up. I'll tidy up with you after eating, and then we'll get off work early."
She then thought in her heart, "Kimberly, please don't blame me for alienating you and Maddox."
"Both of you are of different worlds and you won't be happy with him."
"In this case, let me replace you here. If Benedict really doesn't mind your identity, he is more suitable for you," Sylvia secretly thought.
"You don't have to do that. It's already very tiring for you to bring me food. You can go back after finishing your meal."
Kimberly smiled at her as she said.
But Sylvia insisted on staying.
There was no other way. Kimberly could only let her help. They were busy until ten o'clock at night. Sylvia looked around the empty building and suggested to Kimberly, "I think your overtime ends now. Let's go back, I can drop you home since I have a car."
The busy Kimberly looked up at the time. It was already past ten o'clock. Even if she wanted to continue working, she could not allow Sylvia to accompany her at this hour. So she nodded and said that she would start to pack up. When Sylvia sent Kimberly to the Yardley family, it was already past eleven o'clock at night. Sylvia suddenly said, "Kimberly, my brother told me..."
Kimberly stopped while listening to her words. Her fingers froze, and then she said, "About that..."
"I'll just tell you. That person is actually Benedict Yardley!"
Before Kimberly opened the car door, Sylvia blurted the sentence. Her forehead was drenched in sweats as she clenched onto the steering wheel.
Kimberly was completely stunned. She was so shocked that she didn't respond for a long time.
She thought... she had misheard.
Did Sylvia just mention Benedict's name?
She turned back to look at Sylvia, and her lips trembled a little, " Sylvia, why did you suddenly mention Benedict's name?"
Sylvia did not speak but just stared at her.
Kimberly pursed her lips and hid the panic in her eyes. She then said in a sullen voice, "It's getting late. Go back and have a rest."
"Kimberly, that suit belongs to Benedict."
Just as Kimberly raised her hand and was about to open the car door, she heard Sylvia's voice again. Kimberly felt as if her head was going to explode.
How could it be Benedict's?
Was Sylvia joking with her?
Sylvia continued, "I know that this news might be a little bit shocking... But... it really is Benedict. At first, I didn't know if I should tell you, but after thinking about it these two days and listening to what you said this afternoon, I felt that you will be happy too after getting along with your Brother Yardley. So I took the courage to tell you the truth."
Kimberly didn't say anything.
Sylvia added, "Of course, I know that you need some time to accept it..."
Kimberly suddenly turned her head and said in an anxious tone, "Are you kidding? That person that night didn't look or act anything like Benedict!"
Sylvia insisted, "Kimberly, a person can have several personalities. People change their actions all the time when they're with different people. He may look gentle most of the time, but in fact, he is..."
"Impossible!" Kimberly interrupted her, shaking her head.
Sylvia sighed and said, "Anyway, I've told you the truth. You still have time. You can take your time to think about it at night."
Kimberly gawked at her for a moment, then said, "Drive carefully." After that, she got out of the car and left.
Kimberly had been married to the Yardley family for a long time now. It was her first time returning home so late. The whole house was quiet. Only a few maids who were still awake were a little surprised to see her coming back, but they quickly greeted her.
Because of the incident just now, Kimberly was still a little confused, so her mind wasn't fully with her. She nodded at them and made her way upstairs.
