When Kimberly finally came back to her senses, she leaned against the glass cabinet next to her as she tried to compose herself.

"I'm fine."

"But you don't look so good. Do you need me to call someone for you?"

Kimberly did not answer. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down. After a long moment, she raised her head and smiled at the sales assistant, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I'll be leaving now." After that, Kimberly left the jewelry store under the worried gaze of the sales assistant.

After she left the store, she walked around aimlessly. She couldn't concentrate, and didn't focus on what was in front of her.

Before reaching the jewelry store, she tried to convince herself that Sylvia's earrings were the same brand as the one in Maddox's

jacket. Otherwise, why would she be wearing them?

She was initially a little hesitant to find out the truth, but she decided to come anyway. After exiting the store, she realized that she couldn't come to terms with this new revelation.

Maddox had to go to a meeting, so he entrusted Sam to take her home. However, he had left in the middle of the meeting and did not come back the whole night. Today, Sylvia invited her out, and she was wearing the pink earrings she initially thought Maddox had bought for her.

What did that mean?

Kimberly stopped.

It meant that they probably spent the night together. "Oh."

Kimberly, oh Kimberly. You stayed up and waited for him the entire night? You are such a fool.

And yet, she was so worried about Maddox and even called Sam.
