"B*stard! Don't you have any explanation for hurting someone like that without any reason? Do you want to destroy the Yardley Family?" Old Master Yardley reproached.
Benedict tried to calm Old Master Yardley down, "Grandpa, Maddox has his reasons for doing things. I've never seen him deal with anyone before. Perhaps, this time, Chandler really angered him. Maddox, at least tell us what happened. Tell us, how did Chandler offend you?" "Oh, why do you guys have to know about my affairs?" Maddox was extremely arrogant. He did not care about Old Master Yardley and Benedict at all. However, Kimberly knew that he was trying to not get her involved.
She knew it. Last twhen she stood up for him, he had stopped her. She knew that he didn't want to drag her into this mess.
But... there was no reason for him to defend her.
It was tfor her to stand up for herself. She didn't need Maddox to defend her every time.
Thinking of this, Kimberly stood up before Old Master Yardley angrily again.
"It was because of me," Kimberly stepped forward and blurted. Although she was thin and small, she blocked Maddox's figure.
Maddox paused and frowned. "When was it your turn to speak?" He asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing this, Kimberly's face paled. Would he say that she was just an outsider again? She just didn't want him to get blamed this time. She continued, "It was because Chandler kidnapped me!" "What?" Benedict was shocked. "Kimberly, did you say that Chandler kidnapped you? This..." Old Master Yardley stared at her with his shrewd eyes, asking, "He kidnapped you? When did this happen?" Before Kimberly could speak, Maddox rolled his wheelchair and cover. Kimberly was afraid that he would get scolded just because he defended her. Therefore, she hurriedly answered, "Last night, he kidnappedat the banquet." Maddox frowned and cursed, "D*mn it!" Who did she think she was to stand up for him? Was he the kind of person who needed someone else to stand up for him? "Old Master, I know that you may think it's unbelievable, but Chandler did kidnap me. Furthermore, he spoke ill of Maddox and attacked him personally. You wouldn't want to see your grandson being attacked like this, would you?" She glanced at Maddox and felt the cold look in his eyes, but she could no longer watch him take on everything by himself.
"I wanted to say it before, but I didn't have a chance. Old Master, don't blMaddox anymore, please?" Kimberly asked.
Old Master Yardley narrowed his eyes and stared at her without saying a word. On the contrary, Benedict cforward and asked nervously, "Chandler kidnapped you? Did you get hurt?" Kimberly took a step back to Maddox's side and answered softly, "No, I didn't, Maddox saved me." Kimberly looked at Old Master Yardley again and saw that he was still staring at her. There was no other meaning.
Kimberly had to explain to Old Master Yardley what Maddox had told her that night, "Chandler is a total wild card. The project with Lovis Enterprises is a long-term project. I've checked it out. It is more worthy to cooperate with Fisher Enterprise than Lovis Enterprises!" Hearing what she said, Maddox raised his eyebrows and looked Kimberly up and down.
This woman... was smarter than he had imagined. She could even figure out this.
Ah- No wonder she was his woman.
Maddox's dark eyes showed a hint of joy.
"I hope Old Master can understand us," Kimberly added.
"Did you hear that, Old Man?" Maddox added.
Kimberly's expression changed slightly as she clenched onto her coat. "This b*stard, it's not easy forto say so much, yet he dares to say that. Does he want to drivecrazy?" She thought to herself. She pushed Maddox away and ran back to Old Master Yardley. "Old Master, I'm really sorry. However, it's not a loss for the Yardley Corporation if we can't cooperate with Lovis Enterprises. As long as we can cooperate with Fisher Enterprise, it's still a big win," Kimberly said.
Old Master Yardley fixed his gaze on her and asked, "Are you sure?" Kimberly was stunned, but she reacted rapidly. It was obvious that she was mentally prepared.
Kimberly replied, "I will work hard." Maddox frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Kimberly interrupted him, "Then, we'll go back to the room first." Before Old Master Yardley could react, Kimberly turned around and pushed Maddox away.
It took less than three minutes to finish the whole process. If she let Maddox and Old Master Yardley talk about it, Old Master Yardley might be angry again.
When they entered the elevator, Maddox spoke coldly.
"Who let you make your own decisions?" Kimberly's expression shifted slightly and she explained, "Anyway, we are going to cooperate with Fisher Enterprise, aren't we?" "So, you used this to defend yourself?" Maddox asked.
Kimberly pursed her lips and said, "I will work hard to get the cooperation with Fisher Enterprise. I'm sorry..."." "Are you apologizing again?" Maddox's eyes grew colder, asking, "Who asked you to apologize?" "Then... what do you wantto say?" Kimberly was exasperated. She seemed to do nothing right with Maddox. He was opposed to whatever she said.
Maddox looked up and glanced at her.
This thin girl was wrapped in his coat, only revealing a small fair face. Her eyes were pure and clear, and a little timid.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, he couldn't see her as the sperson who dared to speak up to Old Master Yardley earlier. Maddox shifted his gaze, ordering, "Chere." Kimberly was a little surprised, but she still moved forward.
"What... are you doing..." Before she could finish her question, Maddox's big paw reached out and pulled her into his arms. She didn't expect it and fell on his lap. "Listen, don't ever stand in front ofat any time," Maddox said. She looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Whether it was the Chandler incident or my arguments with the Old Man, my woman just needs to stand behind me," he repeated.
"What?" Kimberly widened her eyes.
She thought she had misheard... She covered her mouth.
He said... she was his woman? Was it... for real? "What's that expression on your face?" Maddox glared at her with dissatisfaction. He narrowed his eyes and asked dangerously.
Kimberly stammered dryly, "You, you just said... I am your woman?"
Maddox was not happy. He pinched her chin and asked her, "We've been sleeping together. Do you denyitaher. Do you still want to deny it? Or, do you want to go back to your ex-husband?" Kimberly was stunned. "I..." "You're not allowed to!" Maddox warned.
His eyes darkened and converged with the silent night. He said in a cold, magnetic voice, "From now on, you are not allowed to have any contact with other men. Do you hear me?" Kimberly was baffled and she moved her lips, asking, "Because... we slept together, so you admit that I am your woman?" Ashburn X
