A bribe?

Vera's expression changed. Benedict had just indirectly admitted that he was pursuing Kimberly.

Oh my gosh.

Vera's eyes blinked for a moment. She was confused by the situation. It was complicated. There had to be some relationship between Maddox and Kimberly. But Benedict was pursuing Kimberly now. Although Vera didn't think that Maddox was the reason Kimberly got into the company, she thought Kimberly had a similar identity as them.

But now, it seemed that Kimberly's identity wasn't as simple as that, Vera thought to herself.

Otherwise, how could the two brothers of the Yardley family...

Vera coughed lightly. She stammered, "Vice President Yardley, are you serious? Although... we are ordinary people and you may think of us as... I would like to explain ourselves. We have our pride. Kimberly has just been demoted by President Yardley, and now you..."

She was struggling to form her words. She didn't know how to say it as she was afraid that she would offend Benedict.

But Benedict understood what she meant and he smiled slightly.

He said, "I know what you mean. Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

"Do you really know what I mean?" Vera asked skeptically.

Vera thought about it for a moment. Indeed, Benedict was unlikely to be that kind of person. He seemed to be very gentle towards everyone in the company, but he had never really been in love with anyone. The consensus was that Vice President Yardley would undeniably be the most gentle lover.

However, Vera always felt that his smile was not sincere and it felt distant.

After pondering for a while, Vera added, "Kimberly is a very serious person when she does anything."

Benedict did not say anything, he only smiled as they both walked further.

Kimberly went straight upstairs to look for Sister Crystal. When she pushed the door open and went in, Kimberly was stunned.
