Kimberly Shell thought her ears were deceiving her. That cold Maddox Yardley, how could he be welcoming them in?
But he really did say it, and he said it to Sylvia Hanover. For a moment, Kimberly felt a little uncomfortable, but she was still happy that Sylvia was welcomed.
"Sam, we'll go to the study."
Sam Sorrento came to his senses and said, "Ladies, please enjoy yourselves. Young Master Yardley and I still have some work to do."
"Mmm." Sylvia smiled sweetly and waved to Maddox and Sam. After they left, Sylvia looked at Maddox's back and said, "In fact, I think Maddox is not as terrible and cold as I had imagined him to be. What do you think?"
Kimberly also stared at the tall figure in a daze. "It seems so."
"Kimberly, you're so lucky!"
"Lucky?"
"Yes, you should just forget that jerk Jonathan Lowell. You had the chance to marry a decent man like Maddox. Do you dare to say that you are not lucky?"
"Am I lucky?" the corner of her lips twitched, and her smile was a little bitter.
She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to get to marry Maddox.
"But you'll get divorced sooner or later. No matter how good he is, it's no use. Alas."
When it was finally time for dinner, everyone sat down at the same table. Old Master Yardley's face looked horrible. But when he heard that there was a guest, his face eased a little.
"Hello, Old Master Yardley. I'm Sylvia Hanover from Hanover Corporation."
"Hanover Corporation?" Old Master Yardley narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is your brother Quill Hanover?"
Sylvia was a little surprised. "Does Old Master Yardley know my brother?"
There was a hint of praise in Old Master Yardley's eyes. "Yes. I've seen him before. He's a very promising young man."
"Thank you for your compliment, Old Master Yardley."
"Maddox, you should learn more from him." Old Master Yardley suddenly spoke to Maddox.
The people at the dinner table paused and looked at Maddox.
Maddox raised his lips and sneered, "Are there any other companies bigger than Yardley Corporation in North City?"
Maddox's words made Old Master Yardley choke suddenly!
Old Master Yardley snorted and said, "Do you think that it's all because of you that Yardley Corporation is the biggest in North City?"
Maddox's eyes twitched slightly, and his voice became extremely cold. "Five years ago before I took over the company, Yardley Corporation was just one of the top five major groups in North City. It became what it is today after I took over the company. So Grandpa, tell me, why don't you think that it was all my effort?"
His words were reasonable. In addition, Maddox's low voice had a convincing power when he spoke. Whatever he said were all facts, and nobody could deny it. Kimberly, who was sitting there, was secretly shocked when she heard this. It seemed that Maddox's ability should not be underestimated.
But... What was the reason that Old Master Yardley didn't like him?
Kimberly suddenly became curious about this. Why did this man and his grandfather not have a good relationship?
Sylvia praised, "It's amazing, Grandpa Yardley. Young Master Yardley is right. It's my brother, Quill Hanover, who has to learn from Young Master Yardley."
Although the Hanover family was known as one of the top three families in North City, the Yardley family still possessed a higher social status than they did.
Therefore, the Yardley family didn't bother to associate with the other families. They were too determined to get rid of those who were on equal standing with them and to remain the best among them. "You're too polite. Your brother is a rare talent. Our companies may have a chance to collaborate in the future."
Old Master Yardley and Sylvia chatted happily. Kimberly watched from the side and secretly envied her. Sylvia was really amazing. She was elegant and eloquent whenever she talked to others, unlike her...
Sure enough, there was still a difference between them.
For example, every time Old Master Yardley talked to her, he would have a gloomy expression on his face.
And she didn't know how to say something nice to make the old man happy.
