The man stared at her coldly. His nose was sharp and straight. He curled his thin lips, flashing a mocking smile at her. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, he had a domineering demeanor and no one dared to get close to him.
Was this the rumoured horrible man?
Kimberly Shell was stunned. After a long while, she sat up on the bed and said without looking into his eyes, "Of course I'm Erica..."
"Haha!" Maddox Yardley sneered. Then, he took an envelope from his pocket and threw it in front of Kimberly.
Kimberly picked it up and opened it. In the envelope, there were some photos and information about her sister, Erica Shell.
Had he already known her true identity right from the beginning?
Kimberly tightened her grip on the envelope. She bit her lower lip and looked at Maddox but did not dare to say anything.
"Do your parents think that I would marry just anybody only because I am crippled?" he asked.
Kimberly lowered her eyes and explained, "I am also the daughter of the Shell family..."
"Well, you're also a daughter who just got divorced. Do your parents think that I'm willing to marry a woman who has just divorced another man?" Maddox said coldly.
Upon hearing his sarcastic and straightforward words, Kimberly suddenly thought of the incident from a month ago. She bit her lower lip and tried to maintain her composure...
The man said coldly before she could calm herself down, I'll give you five minutes to get out of this house."
"What?" Kimberly looked up and saw him staring at her.
Kimberly knew that the Shell family would be in trouble if he chased her away. All her family members had pinned their hopes on her. Therefore, no matter how reluctant she was to stay here, she could not leave. She couldn't destroy the Shell family.
Kimberly calmed herself down and mastered the courage to look straight into his eyes. Then, she said, "I know this marriage was arranged by your parents. So, clearly it makes no difference to you. Otherwise, you would not have agreed to this marriage."
