Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 255

Her words made Benedict's heart skip a beat.

"Do you regret it?"

Kimberly struggled and simply did not answer him. Benedict suddenly remarked, "I'll leave this place with you."

"Come again?"

"Together we'll leave North City and escape far far away."

Kimberly was lost for words. "Benedict, are you out of your mind? How can you say something like that? I am your brother's wife!"

"That's a fake. Why are you being pretentious towards me? Or do you think that this is an excuse to reject me?" Benedict grabbed her wrist intensely and shot her a deep stare.

"Do you think that I don't know anything about you and Maddox? He forced you to sign a contract and leave the Yardley Family in half a year, right?"

Kimberly's eyes widened in disbelief. This was originally a secret between her and Maddox. Nobody could possibly know it apart from Sam and Abigail, not forgetting Sylvia as well.

How did Benedict find out?

"Are you wondering how I know about this matter?" His eyes were gleaming with a hint of menace. He mentioned in a low voice, "You'll understand as soon as you think about it. Why would I know about your divorce? It's simply because Maddox doesn't like you and wants to divorce you as soon as possible."Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"Stop it," Kimberly interrupted him. She met his gaze, biting her lip. "Brother, I have told you long ago that even if Maddox doesn't like me, I won't like you either. I will soon find a way to return the three hundred thousand dollars to you. Please don't mention to me these things in the future. I will treat it as nothing happened today. I'll make a move first."

Kimberly then turned away and left directly.

Perhaps Benedict was provoked by her words, or he got really anxious because of her. He instantly pulled her back, grabbed her head with his hand and he was about to kiss her.

Kimberly was scared and panicked as he inched closer to her. She turned her face away before his lips touched hers and his kiss was planted on her cheek.

Benedict persisted and he had thought of conquering her as she was resisting him. He squeezed her chin with one hand and attempted to kiss her again.

Kimberly let out a groan, trying her best to avoid him. Both of them were along a bustling street full of people, yet no one had come forward.

After all, they had been chatting for a long while. As Benedict looked tall and handsome, no one would believe that a gentleman like him would kiss a woman forcefully.

"Benedict!"

When Benedict kissed her lips, Kimberly was extremely furious to the extent that she raised her hand to slap Benedict on the face.

Pa-

She slapped him with all her might, venting her anger of being forcefully kissed in front of everyone. Benedict felt the pain as his face was harshly slapped by her.

Soon, five fingerprints glowed red on his cheek.

"You hit me?" There was a trace of blood at the corner of Benedict's lips. He looked at Kimberly with a hurt look. After a long period, he smiled bitterly and commented, "I'm causing you to hate me, aren't

I?"

Kimberly stared at him bleeding with her mouth gaped open, thinking, "Oh, I must have hit him hard!" She retracted her hand and opened her mouth to speak.

"I didn't mean it. It was you who went overboard!"

"I went overboard?" Benedict let out a chuckle. "I truly care and am concerned about you, yet this is what I get in return? Abandon me? What about Maddox? You are being so nice to him even though he treated you in this way. Kimberly, don't you think you're a fool?"

"No matter how foolish I am, it has nothing to do with you!" Kimberly shook off his hand and gave him a warning, "If you continue to act like this in the future, I will not treat you nicely either."

After that, she ran away hurriedly, and the clattering of her heels could be heard. Benedict was left alone, gazing at her retreating figure helplessly. He locked his gaze on Kimberly until she was out of his sight. After a while, a little girl approached, and timidly looked at him. "Are you okay?"

She offered him a tissue, staring at his mouth. "Your mouth is still bleeding."

Benedict froze for a moment, yet did not accept the offer. Instead, he stretched out his finger and wiped the blood away.

He expressed bitterness over Kimberly's harsh treatment. He didn't expect that a puny little girl like Kimberly would actually hit him that hard.

"Sir... Here is a tissue for you!" The girl once again plucked up the courage to hand over the tissue to him.

Benedict usually acted warmly towards others, yet he reacted indifferently this time. He replied with a cold glare, "Thank you, there's no need for that."

The girl's face immediately turned red with embarrassment. She grasped the tissue in her hand and stuttered, "Yes, I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you. Since you don't need it, I'll leave."

Benedict paid no attention to the girl. As such, he followed Kimberly's direction, chasing after her.

He was concerned whether she could make it to the Yardley house all alone. After all, she was under the weather.

Seeing Benedict leaving, she uttered with her bloodshot eyes, "Are... are you going to look for her?"

Benedict paused, a frown wrinkling his forehead. "What else do you want?" "No, I just want to remind you... It seems that she doesn't like you. If you continue going to her, she might hate you."

Benedict became exceedingly unpleasant upon listening to her words. He sneered, mentioning, "This is my business. What does it have to do with you?"

The little girl glared at Benedict then ran away without responding to him.

Benedict eventually left nonchalantly.

Kimberly did not return to the Yardley family home as she refused to face Benedict for the time being.

Therefore, she went back to her home to check on her family.

When she returned, Mrs. Shell rushed out in a flash and hugged her as soon as she saw her. "Kimberly, you're finally back. I've been looking for you."

Kimberly frowned. "Mom, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Shell let out a wail, hugging her hard. "It's all my fault!"

Kimberly then gazed at Mr. Shell, who was standing aside, and he yelled angrily, "She did a good thing!"

Mr. Shell returned to his room, slamming the door with a loud bang. Kimberly held Mrs. Shell in her arms who wept terribly. Kimberly was stupefied by the dreadful atmosphere at home, clueless as to what had happened.

"What happened?"

"Kimberly, it's all my fault... I thought that our family wasn't doing well, so I started a small business with someone else. Even so, I didn't expect that... they actually ran away with all my money."

Kimberly was startled. "Ran away? How much did you lose?"

Mrs. Shell cried and exclaimed, "Our family's money is all gone, and the money that I loaned...."

Upon hearing this, she tried hard to calm herself down.

"Have you called the police?"
