Chapter 33
"Pfft, it's more exhilarating out in the open, but I don't think you would be able to understand this, Young Master Yardley," Chandler said sarcastically.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chandler looked at Maddox's legs.
Sam Sorrento raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry.
Maddox remained indifferent. He replied in a cold tone, "Perhaps I will not come to understand this. Nevertheless, even if I wanted to play, I would only play with clean women, and not these second-hand goods."
Kimberly, who was hiding behind the leaves, was speechless.
D*mn it, did he know that she was there? Was he deliberately trying to hurt her?
Chandler was not irritated by Maddox's words. Instead, he smiled and said, "Actually, I'm curious about your abilities. Why are you so sure that you can even get women?"
Sam gnashed his teeth and said, "Do you want to get your ass f*cked?"
Chandler shot him a questioning look.
"I thought you wanted to have your ass f*cked. Otherwise, why would you ask the Young Master such a question?"
What? Chandler was confused. He initially intended to ridicule Maddox for being disabled and incompetent. How did that man even conclude that he wanted to have his ass f*cked? Such an annoying assistant!
Kimberly was even more speechless. She didn't expect Sam's mouth to be so dirty!
"Your assistant's words are truly intriguing." After a moment of shock, Chandler came to his senses and began to fight back.
He was truly an expert. His words were even more vicious and brutal than Sam's.
At this moment, it was Sam's turn to choke.
Chandler shifted his gaze to Maddox's face. "If I had known that you would be here at the banquet, I would have looked for you first."
Maddox's eyes were calm and cold. "There's no need to look for me."
Kimberly listened from afar. It was dark and she had attracted a lot of mosquitoes while she stood there. Her calves were getting itchier from the mosquito bites. After a while, the urge to reach out and scratch the bites got stronger and stronger.
But she would have to bend down to scratch the bites and she might inadvertently make a sound.
She would be exposed if that happened.
After thinking about it, Kimberly resisted the urge to bend down and chose to endure the itchiness.
However she eventually couldn't stand the itch, so she bent down to scratch. As she did this, she bumped into the leaves and it made a rustling sound. The smile on Chandler's lips disappeared. He took two steps in her direction and asked, "Who's there?"
Kimberly was so scared that she did not dare to move.
Maddox's eyes were cold. "It's just the wind. President Lovis, you don't have to make such a fuss, do you?"
Hearing what he said, Chandler stopped in his tracks and said, "Is it the wind blowing, or is it somebody whom you're trying to protect?"
Maddox didn't say anything. His eyes were calm but there was a sense of hostility in them.
"I am really interested in the person that you are trying to protect."
The two men stood face to face against each other. In the end, it was Maddox's domineering aura that made Chandler laugh coldly. After a while, he raised his lips and said, "I've always heard that you are not a simple man. But now that I have met you in person, you are truly extraordinary. I have to go and find myself a beauty for a date, so I shall excuse myself now."
"As you wish."
After Chandler left, Kimberly remained in her original position and she was about to explode. Chandler had left, and now she had to wait for Maddox to leave.
However, after waiting for a long time, Maddox still did not seem to have the intention of leaving at all.
After waiting for a while, when she almost couldn't hold on anymore, she finally heard his voice. "Are you going to pretend to be an ostrich there?"
Hearing this, she was shocked and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Who's there?" Sam's eyes widened. When he rushed over, he saw Kimberly. "Why are you here?"
Kimberly's movements were stiff. She simply sat against the tree and put the glass in her hand on the leaves. She gently rubbed her calf and all the mosquito bites as she looked at Sam helplessly. Sam suddenly understood. "So you are the person whom Chandler was talking about?"
Maddox came over in his wheelchair and looked down at her who was sitting on the ground. "Get up."
She was very uncomfortable. Although she was reluctant, she still stood up.
"I asked you to look for President Lovis, but you opted to stare at him instead?"
"What?" Her eyes widened, and her white cheeks suddenly turned red. If he knew, didn't that mean that he had been watching for a long time?
Thinking of this, Kimberly subconsciously opened her mouth and said, "You... you were watching from afar?"
Maddox narrowed his eyes. "So you admit it?"
Hearing this, she came to her senses and quickly waved her hand. "No, no, I didn't mean to peek at them. It's just that when I found him, he was already... I was afraid that he would see me, so I hid behind the big tree for a while. I didn't expect them to..." How dare she?!
There was only one reason why anyone would come out of the banquet hall.
"Did you not expect that or did you do it on purpose? Did you not know his tendencies and character? Or..." Maddox's eyes suddenly became sharp and his voice was cold. "Is Chandler your next target?" Hearing this, Kimberly finally understood what Maddox meant.
He was implying that Kimberly was a playgirl who wanted to seduce men. Since Chandler was an exceptional man, Maddox thought that he was Kimberly's target.
The moment she realized his meaning, Kimberly's face turned from red to white, and her lips suddenly became pale.
"I know you look down on me, but don't insult me like this, okay? I still have my dignity!"
"Really? How much is your dignity worth?"
Maddox didn't hesitate to trample over her dignity.
Kimberly widened her eyes.
This man was so unbelievably mean and he taunted her right to her face. And yet, he still helped her and saved her in front of other people.
"What kind of person is he?" she thought.
Thinking of what had happened, Kimberly decided to endure. She bit her lower lip and said nothing.
"Sam, let's go," he ordered coldly. Sam nodded and pushed Maddox away. Kimberly saw that they were going to leave, so she also stepped forward to follow them. "Don't follow me."
Kimberly immediately stopped in her tracks as she watched him leave in front of her.
After a while, Kimberly caught up and saw Maddox's car leave.
Great, she was left behind again.
She wanted to cry, but she also wanted to laugh.
She wanted to cry because she had to walk home again and she did not have her wallet with her. Her credit card was not tagged to her mobile phone either. For a person to hit rock bottom in their life, they must have failed hard in life, right?
Thinking of this, She bit her lower lip and stubbornly raised her head to look at the starry sky. Her eyes were wet, as if something was going to flow out. "Kimberly, don't cry. It's no big deal. You will... have to face more in the future!"
Screech.
Suddenly, a blue Bentley stopped in front of her.
Its windows were rolled down, revealing Chandler's handsome eyes and brows.
"Do you want to get in? I'll give you a ride?"
Seeing Chandler, she thought of the scene which she had just witnessed outside the banquet hall. Her eyes flashed a little. "No, no thanks." However, there was a playful smile in Chandler's eyes.
"Are you sure?"
