Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 171

A bribe?

Vera's expression changed. Benedict had just indirectly admitted that he was pursuing Kimberly.

Oh my gosh.

Vera's eyes blinked for a moment. She was confused by the situation. It was complicated. There had to be some relationship between Maddox and Kimberly. But Benedict was pursuing Kimberly now. Although Vera didn't think that Maddox was the reason Kimberly got into the company, she thought Kimberly had a similar identity as them.

But now, it seemed that Kimberly's identity wasn't as simple as that, Vera thought to herself.

Otherwise, how could the two brothers of the Yardley family...

Vera coughed lightly. She stammered, "Vice President Yardley, are you serious? Although... we are ordinary people and you may think of us as... I would like to explain ourselves. We have our pride. Kimberly has just been demoted by President Yardley, and now you..."

She was struggling to form her words. She didn't know how to say it as she was afraid that she would offend Benedict.

But Benedict understood what she meant and he smiled slightly.

He said, "I know what you mean. Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

"Do you really know what I mean?" Vera asked skeptically.

Vera thought about it for a moment. Indeed, Benedict was unlikely to be that kind of person. He seemed to be very gentle towards everyone in the company, but he had never really been in love with anyone. The consensus was that Vice President Yardley would undeniably be the most gentle lover.

However, Vera always felt that his smile was not sincere and it felt distant.

After pondering for a while, Vera added, "Kimberly is a very serious person when she does anything."

Benedict did not say anything, he only smiled as they both walked further.

Kimberly went straight upstairs to look for Sister Crystal. When she pushed the door open and went in, Kimberly was stunned.

Because on this day, the person in the office was not Sister Crystal, but... Maddox.

"Why are you here?" asked Kimberly.

Maddox looked up and stared at her coldly.

He retorted, "What's wrong? Did this place become yours after I gave you the contract?"

Kimberly said helplessly, "I didn't mean that!"

After that, she went over and put the things on the table. She simply didn't expect that Maddox would show up here.

Moreover, he had actually spoken to her. He didn't even talk to her when they were at home. Maddox then said sarcastically, "Didn't you want to return the contract and bank card to me? Why did you pick them up again? Do you ever say the truth?"

Kimberly felt hurt by his words. She bit her lip lightly and didn't look at him.

She replied, "I can't control what you think. I have nothing to say."

Maddox spoke again, "Why? Did I say something wrong?"

Kimberly did not answer.

Maddox simply stared at her with an indifferent gaze.

Then, Kimberly took a deep breath and said, "Since Sister Crystal is not here, I'll leave first."

As soon as she walked out of the door, she bumped into Sister Crystal. "Hey, Kimberly, you're here? I just told Maddox that you're coming soon. I didn't expect you to come so late today. These are the coffee I bought earlier. Please pass one to Maddox."

After that, Sister Crystal went past her and headed towards the other side as she said, "I'll go and see how they are doing."

Kimberly didn't know what to say.

She couldn't move with the two cups of coffee in her hands.

Finally, she went back into the office and placed them in front of Maddox.
