"Jonathan Lowell, what rights do you have to question me? What does this have to do with you?" Kimberly stepped two steps back to keep a distance from Jonathan.
She did not understand why she would fall in love with the man standing in front of her. She even stayed faithful to him for the two years when they were married. She finally realized today that Jonathan was such a shameless person today!
Was it because he had disguised himself too well before? Or she was too dumb?
"Of course it has something to do with me!" Jonathan took a step forward and grabbed her shoulder. "How could you find another man shortly after we got divorced? And why is he treating you so well? He's so rich. Were you with him all this time? You were with him before we got divorced, right? I always thought that you were a good woman. I didn't expect you to be so materialistic and shameless!"
Kimberly was shocked!
She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. This person's shamelessness was beyond what she could imagine.
There was no point in talking to him anymore. Kimberly sneered and stared at him emotionlessly.
"Yes, I'm materialistic. I'm shameless. I admit it. Could you let me go now?" Kimberly uttered. What a great ex-husband!
They were together for two years, yet the first thing he did when they finally meet again was to interrogate her. He had never considered whether he had done something wrong. He did not even notice that she was wearing a hospital gown without any shoes and that her face was pale. All he did was questioning her.
Kimberly thought that she must have been blinded by love.
"Let you go? That's impossible. You have to apologize to me." Jonathan insisted.
Kimberly said,"... Let me go."
"Kimberly, you have to apologize to my mother after apologizing to me. You lied to us..." Jonathan added.
"For the last time, let go of me!" Kimberly sneered. She was so mad that she slapped Jonathan in the face. The slap infuriated Jonathan.
"I’ve never thought you were a shrew. Well, since you are so shameless, I won't be polite to you anymore!" Jonathan growled.
Jonathan grabbed her arm and dragged her forcefully. However, how could a weak woman like Kimberly fight back? "Let me go, let go!"
"You shameless woman, I want you to go back with me and apologize to everyone in my family. And you'll need to tell everyone all the shameless things you've done to me!" Jonathan grunted.
"Let me go..." Kimberly's arm was hurting because of his tight grip, and her vision started to blur due to the violent dragging.
Suddenly, a tall figure stood in front of Jonathan and blocked him in his tracks.
Looking at the tall man who had suddenly showed up in front of him, Jonathan frowned and dragged Kimberly toward another direction. But he did not expect that the man would change his direction as well to block his way.
Jonathan was annoyed, so he asked, "Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
The man smiled slightly and said in a very gentle voice,
"Sorry, the woman you're dragging is my sister-in-law." the man said.
"Sister-in-law?" Jonathan wondered.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Kimberly looked up and saw Benedict Yardley.
He was wearing a neat white shirt, and he looked charming in it. Although he was standing in Jonathan's way, his gaze was still warm and gentle, looking like a modest gentleman.
Jonathan thought Benedict looked like a pushover, so he was not afraid of him at all.
"Even though she's your sister-in-law, she's still my wife. I have the right to do whatever I want her to!" Jonathan stressed.
"I just said that she's my sister-in-law, and you're saying that she's your wife. Are you my brother? There must be sort of a mistake here." A crooked smile writhed across Benedict's face, but he looked intimidating. Jonathan said, "You are annoying. Don't meddle in my business. This is between me and her."
"Let her go. I'll give you five seconds."
Speaking of this, Benedict took out his mobile phone and dialed 911.
"Don't blame me for calling the police if you refuse to let go of her before the call is connected. I think... the police should be very responsive when it comes to human trafficking on the street." Benedict said.
Benedict put the phone on speaker mode.
