Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 185

Ethan touched his head awkwardly and started explaining sincerely towards Kimberly.

He said, "My name is Ethan Arnold. I'm the only child of Arnold Corporation. I like playing basketball and car- racing. I just want to make friends with you."

Kimberly didn't know how to respond.

Vera was also speechless.

Sylvia pursed her lips and said sarcastically, "Arnold Corporation? Who do you think you are to befriend us? Do you think you deserve to be our friend?"

Hearing this, everyone's expression changed. Ethan's face turned pale and he looked at Sylvia silently.

Although Kimberly didn't want to care about the guy, Sylvia's words were a little too harsh for her taste. She stared at her in surprise. She couldn't believe that Sylvia could say something like that.

Ever since Sylvia had become the daughter of the Hanover family, many people would pamper her. She was arrogant and domineering and no one dared to do anything to her because of her status. She had pretended to be kind and humble in front of Kimberly, but now that she saw Ethan, her true colors were showing.

Thinking of this, Sylvia quickly changed her expression and flashed a friendly smile. "Kimberly, I didn't mean that... I just thought..." she whispered in Kimberly's ear upon seeing that Kimberly's expression had changed a little after hearing her words.

"You should leave now." Vera urged Ethan, "Whether you win or not, it has nothing to do with Kimberly. Don't blame us if you lose, we didn't promise you anything. We won't take the blame."

Ethan knew that he said something wrong. He looked embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."

After that, he left.

The men's swimming competition began with the blow of a whistle. They were standing at the front, and Vera was very excited. She frantically took pictures of the contestants with her mobile phone. Later, she shouted, "Come on, Vice President Yardley! Come on, Vice President Yardley!"

Benedict's body figure was very good. Vera had even chased after him, screaming with her mobile phone in hand. She was wearing high heels and a long skirt, which made Kimberly's heart skip a beat for fear that she would trip and fall.

In the end, Benedict was the undisputed winner.

The place was filled with women's excited screams. Almost everyone saw Benedict's good figure when he emerged from the water. However... Kimberly noticed that Maddox was not far behind him.

He was in his wheelchair. Although he was expressionless and his eyes were cold, it seemed that he didn't care about any of this.

However, Kimberly felt bad for him. If... if he was not disabled, then he could have swum in the water like everyone else that night. But because of his legs, he could only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He couldn't do anything other people could do.

Her eyes were fixed on Maddox and he noticed it immediately. His sharp eyes looked straight into her soul. Kimberly was shocked and she quickly looked away.

The look in Maddox's eyes filled with sarcasm.

What was that look in her eyes? Pity?

Was she pitying him?

Not long after Kimberly looked away, Vera came back and pulled at her, saying, "What are you thinking about? You missed such a wonderful game. I took a lot of photos, all of them of Vice President Yardley, of course. I will send them to you when we get back."

"Send them to me?" asked Kimberly.

Vera nodded and replied matter-of-factly, "Yes, Vice President Yardley is courting you, right? Let me show you his body first, allow yourself to get familiarized."

When she mentioned his body, Kimberly thought back to the rainy night, when the man had pinned her down on the leather chair. His deep breath and his hot palms made her tremble.

Her face instantly turned pale and she chided, "Don't talk such nonsense!"

Kimberly then turned around and sat back down on her seat. She picked up the cup in her hand and took a sip absent- mindedly, not noticing that the cup in her hand had been swapped.

Not far away, when Agnes and Lydia saw this, their lips curled up proudly.

Lydia said, "Agnes, I told you. We'll definitely have the chance to defeat her."

Agnes smiled proudly and replied, "As long as she drinks that wine, later... she will feel hot and dizzy. Now, go and inform Lincoln and ask him to wait to pick her up."

"Okay," complied Lydia happily.

She quickly sent a text message to Lincoln.

Then, it was time for the women's swimming competition. Vera and Sylvia went to change into their swimsuits. When the other female participants appeared, Kimberly was stunned because almost all

of them were wearing bikinis. No one wore a one-piece or a more conservative swimsuit. As many of the outstanding men in North City were gathered here that night, the women wanted to try their luck to seduce them.

Right before Sylvia and Vera went to the swimming pool, Vera had asked Kimberly to cheer for her. Kimberly agreed and promised to take a lot of sexy photos for her.

Only then did Vera leave happily. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Kimberly ate two pieces of fruit and then took out the mobile phone which Vera had handed to her, getting ready to take the pictures.

However, as soon as she stood up, she felt a little dizzy. Thus, she sat back down and pinched between her eyebrows. She wondered why she had suddenly felt weak and if it was because she did not sleep well last night. Thinking of this, Kimberly shook her head to clear her mind. However, she noticed that the snacks and wine on the table were slowly turning into blurry shadows.

She still had to take pictures of Vera and Sylvia.

Thinking of this, Kimberly reached out and pinched her thigh. The pain awoke her instantly. Then, she stood up and walked towards the swimming pool.

After a few steps, she suddenly lost control of her body and fell onto the ground.

Someone helped her up and asked, "Hey, are you okay?"

It was a woman's voice. Kimberly shook her head and thanked her.

Even if she didn't have the strength to take the photos, she had to tell Vera and Sylvia, otherwise... they would still be waiting for her.

"Hey, are you not feeling well? Let me take you to the back area for a rest." Just then, she heard a familiar voice. Kimberly felt the voice was very familiar, but she couldn't remember whose it belonged to. She tried to make out who it was, but she couldn't see clearly.

Left with no choice, Kimberly nodded in a daze.

So, with that person's help, she slowly walked to the back of the area. Something came to Kimberly's mind and she whispered, "Please help me tell Vera..." "Ah!"

Before she could finish her words, someone pushed her and she lurched forward.

Boom!

The door behind her slammed shut. Kimberly thought she was going to fall and hit the ground, but she fell into someone's arms instead.

"Enjoy," the person who pushed her chuckled before leaving.

"Finally. I've been waiting for you for a long time," a male voice said at this moment.

Kimberly found this male voice to be familiar. Her mind was in a mess, but she knew she had to break away from the man's arms. The man knew that the door was locked, so he didn't mind letting her go.

Kimberly opened her eyes desperately, trying to see who was in front of her.

The figure of the man slowly became clear.

"Lincoln?" she gasped.

The person standing in front of her was Lincoln!

Lincoln smiled obscenely after he heard his name being called.

He murmured giddily, "Pretty..."

Kimberly tried to speak, "Just now... the person who helped me in..."

Lincoln replied, "That was Agnes, she is our matchmaker. When all this is over, we have to thank her."

Kimberly's face fell upon hearing this. She was so shocked. Now, she was fully awake and she hurriedly ran to the door, reaching out her hand for the doorknob at once.
