Kimberly glanced at her and did not respond.
"Did you hear that? I'm talking to you," Agnes repeated.
Kimberly smiled and said, "I know, don't you think you are loud enough?"
Agnes glared at her and said, "Then, why didn't you respond to me?"
Kimberly replied curtly, "What is it? Hurry up, I have to get off work."
Agnes was so angry at Kimberly's indifference that she wanted to go over and tear Kimberly apart. But when she thought of her plan, she held back.
She said, "What I did before was my fault. I apologize."
Kimberly paused for a moment and couldn't help looking at Agnes. She saw Agnes' cruel face and the anger in her eyes. She curled her lips and said, "Miss Gavlin, I see that you came to apologize with a vicious hatred in your eyes. Anyone would think that I have wronged you in some way."
"Hey!" Agnes sputtered in fury.
Kimberly continued, "To be honest, I don't care what purpose you have, but we are just ordinary staff and it's not worth messing with me. As for your apology, I don't need it."
After that, Kimberly left without giving Agnes a chance to talk. Lydia quickly came out of her hiding spot and said, "Don't be angry. Who does she think she is? How dare she refuse your apology so rudely? Don't worry. Even if she doesn't trust us, we still have ways to destroy her."
Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day before the anniversary party.
Sylvia came to find Kimberly.
She said, "I heard that your company will hold an anniversary party. Can I join as your family member?"
Kimberly replied, "I don't know if that's possible, but if you are interested to attend, I will ask around."
Sylvia hugged and kissed her. "You are so good to

me.
Kimberly smiled, "As long as you are happy."
Then, she paused for a moment and thought of Sylvia's brother, Quill.
They didn't keep in touch after they had added each other on Facebook. As Kimberly hesitated to tell Sylvia about it, Sylvia dragged her to pick out a dress for the party.
In fact, Kimberly planned to wear ordinary clothes that night and hide in the crowd.
She had too many enemies in the company. She should keep a low profile on the night of the banquet.
However, Sylvia had chosen a red dress for her.
"Isn't this too eye- catching? No way," Kimberly refused at once.
Sylvia put her arms around her waist and said softly, "What are you afraid of? You are Maddox's wife after all. It will be fine even if you're in the limelight at the party. Don't worry!"
Kimberly said, "But... I really can't do it."
Because the people in the company didn't know that she was Maddox's wife.
Besides, she would also divorce Maddox eventually.
"It's okay. If you're worried about the price, I'll pay." Sylvia pushed her into the fitting room and insisted that she try it on.
Kimberly took the red dress helplessly and stood in the fitting room. She had no choice but to put it on. There was no mirror in the fitting room. When she put on the dress, she felt it was a bit too revealing. She hesitated but Sylvia was rushing her from outside.
Sylvia said, "How's it going? Come out and let me have a look."
"Sylvia, this..."
Kimberly spoke as she opened the door a little and let Sylvia squeeze in. When she saw Kimberly, she was immediately stunned.
The bright red dress made her fair skin look brighter and even more alluring. Moreover, it was a V- neck dress, which enhanced her beauty and elegance. The callousness in her eyes complimented the look and exuded an independent charm.
It made Sylvia think of the woman in the photo at the Hanover family. The woman was Mrs. Hanover.
Sylvia panicked. If Kimberly wore this dress to the banquet, then...
"Sylvia, what's wrong with you?" asked Kimberly. Sylvia came to her senses and when she looked into Kimberly's eyes, she was a little flustered. She shook her head and said, "No... Nothing. It's just that you are so beautiful in this dress. You are amazing."
Kimberly lowered her head and stretched out her hand to cover her neck. "I think it's too revealing. Why don't I change into another one?"
"What? Why do you want to change? This one is good." Sylvia turned around and went out, saying, "I'll pay for it."
Kimberly wanted to hold her back, but Sylvia left quickly.
After Kimberly changed out of her clothes, Sylvia had already bought two dresses.
She said, "Kimberly, I've bought the dress. Let's go." NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Kimberly looked at the staff hesitantly and finally left with Sylvia.
After getting into the car, Sylvia said, "In order to prevent you from secretly returning the dress, I decided to keep it with me. I will come to you at noon tomorrow, along with the dress. Then, you can change into it."
Kimberly said reluctantly, "Sylvia..."
Sylvia dismissed her, "Alright, enough. We have arrived!" Sylvia sent her back to the Yardley family and happened to meet Maddox, who was returning from the company.
Sylvia's eyes lit up when she saw Maddox. She waved at him and greeted, "Young Master Yardley!"
Maddox ignored her and kept his gaze ahead. Suddenly, he thought of something and stopped in his track.
After a while, he looked back and glanced at Kimberly and then at Sylvia. He nodded.
Seeing this, Sylvia's froze for a while and her smile slowly widened.
She said, "I gave Kimberly a ride back."
"Hm," Maddox answered with a hum. It was a response.
After that, he suddenly said, "It's getting late. Let Sam send you back home."
"Huh? there's no need! I can drive back by myself," Sylvia replied and was flattered.
After listening to Maddox's instructions, Sam had to go forward and said, "Miss Hanover, I'll send you home."
Sylvia could only hand him the key and said, "Thank you, Assistant Sorrento."
"No big deal. You've so kindly sent Miss Shell home. As Young Master Yardley's assistant, it's only fair for me to do this," Sam said as he took the key with a smile.
Sylvia's expression changed.
Sam then said, "Let's go, Miss Hanover." After Sam left with Sylvia, Kimberly stood still, looking at the car driving away from her. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a wheelchair coming from behind her. She turned around and saw Maddox rolling into the house by himself.
She thought of something and quickly caught up with him.
She asked, "Why did you ask Sam to send Sylvia back? What on earth do you want to do?"
Maddox continued to move forward without saying a word. It was like he didn't hear what she said.
Kimberly was anxious. She bit her lip and kept following him. "Hey, what do you want to do to Sylvia?"
He had never been so attentive to anyone. But now, he had suddenly told Sam to send Sylvia home.
Kimberly stepped forward and stood in front of Maddox.
She accused, "Did you do this on purpose? I didn't allow you to get too close to Sylvia. Is that why you deliberately let Sam send her back in front of me? Is that your intention?"
