Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 207

Sylvia wanted to seduce Maddox?

Kimberly thought that it was absurd and twitched her lips uncontrollably. She forced a smile and said, "No, it can't be. You must've misunderstood. I know Sylvia well. She is not that kind of person."

"Pfft, are you oblivious or just stupid?" Vera felt upset and she knitted her brows into a deep frown. She voiced out her opinion, "Firstly, Sylvia told you that she was here to talk about work, right? But did you see what she brought with her? Nothing! Not a single document in hand. Secondly, look at what she was wearing! Why was she wearing that to discuss work? Her collar was wide opened, anyone could look straight into her shirt! I think she's just trying to seduce Young Master Yardley."

Hearing this, Kimberly didn't know what to say.

Vera then asked, "How did you two become good friends? Why do you believe her?"

Kimberly was speechless. However, after listening to Vera's words, she realized that it was really strange indeed. Why would Sylvia talk to Maddox about work? But then again, she had known Sylvia for many years. Hence, she chose to trust Sylvia.

After all, Sylvia had done everything to help her when Kimberly was in need.

"Vera, I know you don't like how Sylvia looks. But, I have known her for a long time. I know her better than you. Frankly speaking, no one in this world knows her better than I do. So, I hope that... you will stop saying such things about her. She has always been my good friend. You don't know how much she has helped me through hard times. Please stop talking bad about her. If not..."

When Kimberly spoke of this, she paused for while as a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.

"If not, you can stop talking to me."

When Vera heard this, she widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Alas, Kimberly, you are such a... Gosh, I am doing this for you. Yet you're willing to stop talking to me just because of this trivial matter?"

Kimberly remained silent. Her lips turned colorless as she pursed them hard with an emotionless face.

Vera looked away in disappointment, "Well, since you don't care about me, I don't need to keep bothering you. I'll leave."

After that, Vera turned around and left. Kimberly's lips moved as she tried to say something. Her hands were frozen in midair, wanting to grab Vera. However, she stopped herself in the end.

Forget it. If they couldn't be on the same page, it was better for them to remain strangers.

Kimberly went to the canteen alone. After she had ordered her food, she was one step behind and noticed that her usual seat was occupied. Normally, either she or Vera would sit there while the other would go get their food.

But now...

Eventually, she found an empty corner and placed her food on the table. As she sat down, she started to chew her food which inexplicably tasted dull. She was used to having lunch with Vera. But now, she was all alone. Kimberly had never felt so lonely.

For some reason, Kimberly recalled Vera's words from earlier.

Vera had said that Sylvia wanted to seduce Maddox.

How was that possible? Putting aside Sylvia's excellence, she was also the Hanover family's eldest daughter. So, how could she be interested in Maddox? No matter how handsome he was, he was handicapped.

Although Kimberly didn't dislike him because he was wheelchair- bound, other women would generally stay away or even detest someone like Maddox.

The more Kimberly thought about it, the more unpleasant she felt.

Even though she had said that she believed in Sylvia, Vera's words made sense. When she thought back to how Sylvia had dressed up, she couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
