"Well, that's the question I have to ask you. After you assigned me with my wife, what's your purpose of showing up in front of her so often?" Maddox did not back down.

"Maddox, you've really misunderstood me on this matter. I just so happened to bump into her," Benedict explained.

"Is that so? Was it a coincidence or was it a rendezvous?" Maddox said, then he glimpsed at Kimberly.

The next moment, Kimberly clenched her fists and looked into Maddox's eyes fearlessly, moving her lips.

Just as everyone thought that she would explain the situation, Kimberly simply said, "It doesn't matter whether it's a coincidence or rendezvous. Whatever it is, it's up to you to think about. Anyway, you're just a swollen head that can't even listen to other people's explanation. There is no need for me to explain it to you."

"Kimberly!" Benedict frowned. He did not understand why Kimberly was still unwilling to give in at this time and insisted on arguing with Maddox.

"It's none of your business," Kimberly said as she pushed Benedict away and stepped forward to face Maddox with her petite body. "Don't you think that I'm sl*tty? Then, go ahead. What you saw is true. I'm the one who asked Brother to come over," she said. Maddox's gaze remained indifferent and he stared at her intimidatingly.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Maddox asked.

Kimberly had really had enough of Maddox. Every word he uttered had stabbed her in the heart and hurt her so much. He never showed even a hint of kindness towards her. Every time he humiliated her, the pain gradually increased. The pain accumulated over time and eventually left her in agony. She was the one who begged to stay in the Yardley family, yet she genuinely could not hold her emotions back anymore.

"Kimberly, have you forgotten what I said to you just now? You..." Benedict said.

"Brother, this is my business with Maddox. Can you head back first?" Kimberly interrupted him and said to Benedict.

"Kimberly..." Benedict hesitated.

Kimberly cast him a firm glance and insisted on asking him to leave.

Benedict's lips twitched, but he said nothing in the end. He just nodded and then looked at Maddox, explaining, "Maddox, it's time for you to restrain your temper. Erica and I really haven't done anything inappropriate. We met each other by chance tonight. That's all I have to say. You two can talk about it."

After Benedict left, Sam instantly felt that he was redundant here. He pointed at himself and said, "Hmm...Should I leave too?"

No one paid attention to him and Sam touched his head with embarrassment. It was unnecessary for him to ask. Hence, Sam left as well.
