Kimberly sniffled as she added, "I didn't want to be here. I was drugged. You saw what happened."
Maddox was confused by her unexpected behavior.
He realized that she was trying to explain everything to him.
After she had finished talking, Kimberly didn't stay any longer. Instead, she walked past Maddox. Sam asked her hurriedly, "Miss Shell, where are you going?"
Kimberly ignored him and continued forward.
Benedict clenched his fists as he tried to stop himself from going after Kimberly.
He held back because he knew Kimberly was too stubborn. If he went after her, all her efforts would be in vain.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The most bewildered ones were Agnes and Lydia.
The two of them had witnessed Kimberly's demotion. All along, they had been trying all kinds of tricks to frame her, but they never succeeded. But now, they finally managed to make her so miserable.
In the end... she turned out to be... Maddox's wife! Kimberly was his wife!
No one would have thought of this! They knew they were done for. Vera stood frozen as if someone had cast a spell on her.
After a while, something came into her mind. Without saying a word, she ran out of the room after Kimberly.
"Sam," uttered Maddox.
Sam finally came to his senses. He then quickly pushed Maddox's wheelchair towards where Kimberly had walked away and immediately caught up with her.
Kimberly tried her very best to walk by supporting herself against the wall. She was seeing double. Her vision was blurry as she tried to keep herself standing.
"Kimberly!"
Vera sprinted towards her and held her up, asking worriedly, "Hey, are you okay?"
"Vera?" When Kimberly heard her voice, she mumbled an apology, "I'm so sorry for tonight... I didn't get to take photos for you."
"We don't have time for this." Vera grabbed her arm and was shocked. "You are burning. I can't believe Lincoln dared to drug you. Let's get you to the hospital right away, okay?"
"Okay..." Kimberly nodded, shifting her weight onto Vera. Vera had just come from the pool, and her skin was cold and comfortable to lean on.
Kimberly felt a little better and she said, "Thank you."
Vera could feel Kimberly's alarming body temperature. Although she was a little awkward, she felt distressed and replied, "No worries. Let's

go.
"Wait a minute," someone suddenly said.
After they had walked a short distance, Sam and Maddox caught up to them.
Sam said, "Miss Shell, let me take you to the hospital."
When Kimberly glanced at them, she noticed that Maddox was still cold and expressionless. So, she ignored them.
"Stop," Maddox finally opened his mouth and commanded.
Kimberly simply kept walking, but Vera had to stop.
She had no other choice, she couldn't defy Maddox after all.
Vera said helplessly, "Kimberly, let Young Master Yardley take you to the hospital!"
"No." Kimberly shook her head and replied, "Let's

go.
