Hearing this, Kimberly couldn't remain calm anymore. She stared at Vera for a long time and then looked away.
"You are right. But, I still want to leave no matter what you say. You can stay and wait for him if you want to."
After saying that, Kimberly turned around and left.
Looking at Kimberly's back, Vera shouted angrily, "Kimberly, are we still close friends? Is that all you have?"
Kimberly stopped for a moment. She closed her eyes wearily.
Close friends? Kimberly wanted to be Vera's close friend. However, she didn't want to have anything to do with Benedict.
Thinking of this, Kimberly did not say anything. She continued to move forward. Vera thought she would turn back. However, she didn't do so. Vera was angry and heartbroken and caught up with Kimberly quickly.
A familiar person blocked Kimberly's way not long after.
Kimberly was stunned, having not expected to bump into Benedict. She pretended not to see him and walked past him.
Seeing Kimberly's swollen eyes from crying, Benedict was heartbroken. She'd also completely ignored him.
Benedict came back to his senses and caught up with her.
"Kimberly!"
Benedict grabbed Kimberly's arm quickly. She was shocked and tried to loosen herself from his grip immediately.
"Let me go!"
Seeing Kimberly struggling so hard to pull her arm back, Benedict frowned and said, "Are you so unwilling to see me? Do you not want to let me help you as well? Gosh, to what extent do you hate me? You hate me so much that you don't even want to look at me nor accept my help?"
Kimberly bit her lower lip and looked at Benedict stubbornly. "You have helped me a lot and I also owe you a lot. I can't owe you anymore."
Hearing this, Benedict couldn't help but give a wry smile and said, "Well, it doesn't matter if you owe me a little more since you already owe me so much."
Kimberly didn't know what to say.
Vera, who was standing far away, observed them. She couldn't hear what they were talking about. She was no longer angry now. She had been too aggressive just now when she heard Kimberly mentioning she wanted to leave and not wanting to see Benedict anymore. Therefore, she became anxious and said something inappropriate.
"You can't put it that way. I will pay you back what I owe you," Kimberly said. She remembered the 300,000 dollars. Although she was angry and disappointed with Mrs. Shell's behavior, Mrs. Shell was her biological mother who raised her. Therefore, she had to take up this debt even though she was angry at this.
"I don't mind if you owe me a little more."
Benedict walked inside as he said, "Since I'm already here, let's have a seat inside."
Kimberly stood still and refused to move. Seeing that she was so stubborn, Benedict went forward, grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her in.
"Benedict, let me go!"
Hearing Kimberly calling out his name, Benedict was happy. He'd missed her very much these days.
Kimberly had left the Yardley family house all of a sudden. Benedict couldn't see her in the house nor in the company. But he couldn't look for her openly. Knowing that he had an opportunity to meet her today, he drove his car all the way at high speed.
Finally, she was standing right in front of him.
