Kimberly, who was standing beside Maddox, raised her head and said loudly.
Everyone was shocked by her loud voice.
No one expected that Kimberly, who had been remaining silent after being bullied, would become angry because of Maddox!
"Who do you think you are? Who are you to say something like this?"
Ever since she had that conversation with Old Master Yardley in the study room. Kimberly had started to look at Maddox in a different light. She realized that his family was not treating him sincerely. Furthermore, he called off the surgery and allowed her to keep the child.
She knew the feeling of self-abasement.
Being a paraplegic, his self-esteem must already be at an all-time low. How could someone call him a disabled person in public?
He must be deeply hurt by those words.
"Kimberly, why can't I say those things? I just want to persuade him to leave. Do you know how much does your dress cost? You can't even afford it. You couldn't possibly ask that disabled man to pay for you, could you?" Bianca Sleet sighed. Then, with a seemingly distressed expression on her face, she continued, "Well, since you've taken care of Jonathan for so many years, I'll ask him to help you if you are willing to kneel down and beg me."
Kimberly was trembling in rage.
"Come on, don't be so angry. It's just 300,000 dollars. Jonathan is willing to give me the money if I ask it from him. After all, he loves me so much. You're nothing compared with me."
Bianca was just a mistress in the past. Even though she had now become Jonathan's wife, she still wanted to show off in front of Kimberly. Seeing her arrogant demeanor, Kimberly was consumed by anger. She raised her hand and was about to slap Bianca.
"Ah!" Bianca cried out and fell backward just before Kimberly could slap her. Bianca exclaimed, "I'm just trying to help you. How dare you slap me! Honey!"
Jonathan rushed forward to hold Bianca. She grabbed his arm and said breathlessly, "Honey, she hit me! She's an ungrateful person. You ought to teach her a lesson!"
Jonathan was a little embarrassed. It was obvious that Kimberly's hand did not even reach her yet. If he went ahead and taught Kimberly a lesson, wouldn't that be...
"Honey, my stomach hurts. Quick. Teach her a lesson."
Jonathan felt a little helpless. He whispered, "Baby, she did not slap you just now. Let's not make any trouble, okay? We should leave now."
Tears welled up in Bianca's eyes. "Jonathan, are you falling back in love with her? Don't you love me anymore? She bullied me and my baby." Seeing this, Jonathan had no choice. He thinned his lips and walked towards Kimberly.
Kimberly stood in the same place and stared at Jonathan as he walked towards her. Jonathan said, "I'm sorry, Kimberly."
Kimberly smiled bitterly and said, "Are you going to teach me a lesson?"
"I'm really sorry. But, I... must help my baby vent her anger!"
Jonathan raised his hand slowly. Kimberly bit her lower lip as tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "What on earth did I do wrong? We were together for two whole years. How could you treat me like this?"
Jonathan hesitated when he saw her tears. However, Bianca was urging impatiently behind him. Then, he raised his hand to slap her.
Kimberly looked at him in disbelief as his hand came closer to her face. She closed her eyes in despair.
Tears were rolling down her cheeks.
Kimberly thought Jonathan's slap would leave her face all swollen. However, even after a long time had passed, she still couldn't feel anything.
