Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 20

Kimberly's eyes widened in fear. She looked at the ashtray being thrown towards her.

All of a sudden, someone rushed into the study room and pulled her away.

Bang!

The ashtray hit the spot where she was standing just now. It shattered into several pieces.

Kimberly trembled at the loud piercing sound.

She looked at Old Master Yardley in disbelief.

Old Master Yardley had just said that Maddox Yardley had no sense of propriety in his actions. He also said that he was a ruthless person.

Kimberly felt that these were more accurate in describing Old Master Yardley.

"Grandpa, Erica is a straightforward person. She misunderstood your words."

Kimberly realized that the person who had pulled her away was none other than Benedict Yardley.

"Erica, Grandpa and I are just worried about Maddox's health. After all, it's very hard for him to manage such a big company alone. Besides, you must have already known what kind of person he is after staying with him for a few days. He does not really know how to draw the line. Grandpa is not asking you to keep an eye on Maddox. We're just helping him since the company will belong to him in the future." Kimberly bit her lower lip and said nothing.

Old Master Yardley snorted and said angrily, "I thought that the daughter of the Shell family is a smart person. I didn't expect that she could say such thing. My reputation will be ruined if someone heard what she just said. Why do I have such a granddaughter-in-law?"

"Grandpa, please don't be angry. I'll talk to her."

Benedict pulled Kimberly out of the study room.

Kimberly was still frightened and had yet to come back to her senses. She just followed Benedict without saying anything.

They stopped walking when they arrived at a quiet place. Benedict turned around and looked at Kimberly gently.

"Erica, you must be frightened. Are you injured?"

Benedict stepped forward and wanted to touch her shoulder.

However, Kimberly took a step back immediately.

Benedict's hand was left hanging in the air awkwardly for a long time. Kimberly lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry..."

Benedict smiled and pulled his hand back.

He said, "It's okay. Please don't worry about what happened today. Grandpa's words didn't mean anything else. Grandpa is estranged from Maddox. So, he can't ask him about a lot of things directly. He can only know more about him from you. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"

Kimberly nodded her head. "Perhaps you need some time to digest all of these. I know your mind is in a mess now. You should head home. Once you've calmed down, you'll be able to understand that Grandpa is just looking out for Maddox."

"Well, I'll leave first then." Kimberly said. Then, she turned around and left.

She could feel that Benedict's eyes were still watching her as she walked away.
