Kimberly Shell understood.
It was already a blessing for her that she could get married for a second time. She shouldn't be too picky.
However... when she saw that Mrs. Shell was not sad and worried at all, Kimberly was a little dispirited.
"Could it be... that Mom doesn't care about my feelings at all?" Kimberly thought.
Thinking of this, Kimberly no longer had the appetite to eat the food in front of her.
Kimberly took several mouthfuls of food, then putting her cutlery down, "Dad, Mom, I had already had something just now, and I can't eat anymore. I'll go upstairs to get something."
She did not wait for them to react and went upstairs.
Seeing this, Mrs. Shell could not help but purse her lips and said, "Do you think Kimberly blames me for this?"
Mr. Shell sighed. "I don't think so. That child is very considerate and smart."
"If she wasn't blaming me, then could it be that she was used to eating fancy food in the Yardley family and so she looks down on our family now?"
Mr. Shell couldn't help but frown. "What nonsense are you talking about?" "Was I talking nonsense? Look at her expression and you will know!" Mrs. Shell was so angry that she threw the fork and lost her appetite to eat.
Kimberly returned to her room. When she opened the door, she found that the room was a little messy. She frowned. She walked in and glanced at the room that had been searched through.
It wasn't like this when she left. Who came in and rummaged through her belongings?
Kimberly's face turned pale. She opened the drawer of the cabinet and took out a small box inside, only to find that the savings book that she had kept inside had already disappeared.
Her face turned even paler and she bit her lower lip.
Erica Shell must have entered her room. Thinking of this, Kimberly turned out to look for Erica.
Erica was hiding in her bedroom and on the phone with her boyfriend at that moment.
"I really don't have an appetite. I don't want to eat. Then... How about you prepare some food and send it over to me? Fine, fine, I'll wait for you."
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door. Erica was impatient, so she said, "Dear, wait for me for a moment. It's probably my mother."
After that, Erica went to open the door. Before she could see who it was, she shouted, "Mom, I've told you that I don't want to eat. Don't bother me again..."
Erica was stunned before she could finish her words. She stared blankly at the person who showed up at the door of her room. Kimberly looked at her coldly.
"Sister... Why... why did you suddenly come back?"
Kimberly looked behind Erica. Her room was very neat, completely different from her own.
Probably because she had done something bad, Erica swallowed her saliva out of guilt. Then she put the phone beside her ear and said, "My sister came to see me. I'll call you back later."
After that, she quickly hung up the call.
Kimberly stepped into the room at the same time. Erica came back to her senses and hurried to stop her.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Kimberly stopped and handed the box to her.
"Where is the thing inside?"
Seeing the box, Erica's face turned pale and she avoided looking at it. "What's that... How would I know?"
