Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Just as Kimberly reached out her hand to take the paper bag, it fell to the ground with a thud. She was stunned. After a while, she bent down to pick it up. She opened the paper bag and realized that it was a postnuptial agreement.

"Sign it!" Maddox Yardley said, his tone emotionless. Kimberly raised her head to look at him. Then, she quickly read through the terms of the agreement.

"Both you and your sister are troublemakers. I'll only allow you to stay here for six months. After that, you have to leave the Yardley family with the agreement and the cheque and never return." Right after he finished speaking, Maddox put a cheque on the table.

Kimberly felt a pang of disappointment when she saw the cheque.

She had come here to apologize to him. She did not expect that he had already prepared the agreement and cheque for her.

"The money should be enough to satisfy your vanity."

Kimberly held the agreement tightly. Her fingertips had turned pale. She picked the pen and signed on the agreement and put it back into the paper bag. After that, she walked slowly towards him. Maddox raised his eyebrows with contentment and said, "The simplest way to chase a woman away is through money."

All of a sudden, Kimberly slammed the contract on the table. Upon seeing this, Maddox frowned.

"You don't have to give me any money. The reason why I'm staying in the Yardley family is for our mutual benefit. I'm very grateful that you did not force me to get an abortion in the end. But, that doesn't mean that you can humiliate me with money."

"Pfft." Maddox snorted. He looked at her in disdain and said, "Isn't money very important to a woman like you?"

"You!" Kimberly clenched her fists, wanting to argue with him. However, she released her knuckles and chuckled, "Well, since you had perceived me in that way, then so be it. Anyway, we married each other because we needed something from each other. Don't worry, I've signed the agreement. I'll be sure to leave when the time comes."

She must find a way to solve her problem before that day comes.

"Very good. I'm looking forward to the day you leave."
