Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 127

This question put the man in an awkward position. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand.

"Assistant Shell, what are you talking about? This has always been the company's rule. What's more, you work closely with President Yardley, so this money must be very important. Our Finance Department can't risk the loss," the man explained.

"But, just now..."

Kimberly was still in a dilemma when Vera had finished the procedure, "Here."

Kimberly reached out and took the document, saying, "Thank you."

"Thanking me won't make any difference, I still hate you!" Vera then added, "Although I also joined the company through the back door, you are way more annoying than me."

Kimberly was speechless.

She spoke about the back door so frankly. Kimberly almost admired her straight-forward approach. She just smiled and replied, "Thank you both for your time. I'll take my leave now."

After Kimberly left, Vera looked at her father with dissatisfaction.

"Dad, why did you give her so much money? What should we do if President Yardley blames us? Twenty thousand dollars is almost more than my salary after work for a long time," Vera complained.

Hearing what she said, the man glared at her and said in a harsh voice, "Don't be so impulsive next time. It was President Yardley's assistant, Assistant Sorrento, who gave the orders. Fortunately, you didn't say too much, and she was kind enough to not mind your words."

"Humph, she wasn't always this kind! She has been fighting with people in the canteen and even threw food at the others. Does she think she's some big shot? She's just a nobody without him," Vera retorted.

"Don't get involved in this matter, and don't listen to other people. Do you think she is that type of person? How do you know what the company’s people are like?" The man chided.

Vera curled her lips, "Anyway, I just think it's wrong for her to throw food at others! She attacked three women. Is that all fake news?"

After that, Vera turned around and left.

After Kimberly had solved the problem, she returned to her seat, but couldn't help thinking of Vera. She said that Kimberly joined the company through the back door. That means, in everyone's mind, she had managed to join the company solely due to Maddox's help.

Forget it, there was no need for her to care about these things. She just needed to do her job well.

Time flew by and soon another day had passed. Sylvia got the news that Quill was returning to Hidalgo on that day, and she was very excited. She called Quill before he got on the plane.

"What's the matter?" Quill's voice sounded as emotionless as usual.

Sylvia didn't care because she was in a very good mood at the moment. She would soon find out who was the father of Kimberly's baby.

"Quill, are you coming back to Hidalgo today?" Sylvia asked.

"Yes, I'll board in 15 minutes," Quill replied.

"Quill, have you solved it? Have you got the answer?" Sylvia asked again.

Quill narrowed his deep eyes slightly. Looking at the people bustling in the airport, he pursed his thin lips.

"Yes," he then answered.

"Really?" Sylvia smiled and praised him, "Thank you, Quill. I knew I could count on you! Can you..."

"I'll show you the file once I return. I'll hang up first."

After that, Quill hung up the phone. A smartly dressed female secretary stood beside him. When she saw him hanging up the phone, she reminded him, "President Hanover, the flight will arrive in North City in five hours. Assistant Shell of the Yardley family has already booked a restaurant. We can rush over there after we get off the flight."

Quill nodded and straightened the tie of his suit. A faint dark circle surrounded the underside of his eyes. He had been very busy recently. When Juliette Shaprio, his secretary, noticed how tired he was, she offered, "President Hanover, do you want to go back to have a rest first? You've been overworking yourself these days, and you've already..."

"No need," Quill refused simply.
