Quill was indifferent but Kimberly felt a little embarrassed.
She took out her room card and unlocked the door. "Please come in."
Quill grabbed his briefcase and followed Kimberly. "Nash told me everything."
Kimberly placed her handbag on the table and nodded. "Well, since you've investigated me, then I think you should know about my background."
Quill did not reply but the look on his face suggested that he knew everything like the back of his hand.
It would be better for him to know.
Otherwise, Kimberly would have to explain the situation to him when asking for help. Quill knew everything and that made things easier.
"Well, can I ask a favor?"
Quill's lips curled into a smile and nodded. "Sure but..."
But? Kimberly was a little surprised. There was a condition to it?
"There's no reason for me to do you a favor. Before I help you, I need to ask if you'll return to the Hanover family."
Kimberly did not know what to say. She never expected that he was referring to her real identity.
Kimberly was at a loss for words.
"Mr. Hanover, I..."
"You're still addressing me as Mr. Hanover?" Quill smiled and his eyes were gentle.
Kimberly's impression of Quill never really changed. Although Quill was composed, he gave off a powerful and unapproachable aura. Usually, he would be expressionless. Even if he was to talk to his family members, he would be serious and stern.
Unexpectedly, he flashed a warm smile at her.
Was that... The power of family affection?
Kimberly stared at Quill cluelessly. Later... She did not know why but family affection seemed to get to her. She muttered, "Quill..."
However, Kimberly choked on the word. She covered her mouth hurriedly and did not continue.
Yet, it was enough for Quill.
He stretched out his hand again. Kimberly wanted to avoid him but somehow, she was rooted to the spot. In the end, Quill's palm landed on her head.
Quill caressed her head with a bright smile.
"That's more like it. Remember, the Hanover family is here for you. If you need anything, I... will always be around. You're my sister, okay?"
Why did he sound like he was talking to a child? Kimberly blinked and nodded blankly.
"How do you want to solve your problem?" Quill asked her about Maddox.
"I want a divorce but... I don't want to see him."
"Okay, I'll get someone to do it." Quill nodded. As a brother, he would never refuse his sister's request.
That was it? Kimberly thought that he would think about it. Unexpectedly, he accepted her request.
Kimberly paused for a moment and asked, "Can I... leave North City?"
"You're leaving because of him?"
Although it was a little embarrassing, Kimberly admitted frankly, "I don't want to see him again or stay in the same city. I..."
"No problem. Our family has some companies abroad too. I can send you abroad but are you okay with that?"
Abroad? Kimberly never thought about that. She wanted to leave North City but Quill suggested that she should go abroad.
