The littlest hope that Kimberly had was utterly crushed by Maddox and his harsh words. Her face was pale as she clenched her fists

"I... I wasn't thinking about that."

"Really? Then why are you showing that tiny smile on your lips? Kimberly, I'm warning you, when we're in public, you are nothing more than just my assistant." Kimberly bit her lower lip and did not speak.

"I helped you because I didn't want you to embarrass the Yardley family, do you understand?"

The previously gentle Maddox had now reverted to his arrogant self.

No wonder... he would suddenly change his temperament.

He even said that he would buy the whole shopping mall and give it to her. It turned out that he only cared about the Yardley family image.

She... was still secretly happy.

Now that Maddox had told her the truth, embarrassment filled her heart.

Sam, who was following behind them, heard their conversation. He was used to Maddox's coldness, but he never knew that Maddox cared about the Yardley family's reputation. Otherwise, he would not have done the things the way he usually did.

However, these words were a bit too much for a girl to hear.

Obviously, Kimberly's mood had taken a turn for the worse and she slowed down. Sam went forward and asked, "Miss Shell, may I?"

Kimberly realized what was going on when she heard that. She shook her head and said, "No, It's fine."

She seemed to have thought of something. She then returned the contract she had been holding in her hand to Maddox.

Maddox raised his eyebrows and sneered. "Are you throwing a tantrum?"

Kimberly was a little confused. "What?"

When faced with his sarcastic eyes, Kimberly finally understood what he meant. She pursed her lips and suppressed her nervousness. Her watery eyes became emotionless once again as she said blandly, "I know you were just acting, but I still have to thank you. Now that the show is over, I'm returning the contract to you."

She didn't think that he would actually buy the entire mall for her.

Even if he really bought it and gave it to her, it didn't mean that she would accept it.
