My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back

Chapter 174

Christopher was lost in thought for a moment.

Ivy claimed she was the one who took him through the secret passage, but Christopher felt something

was amiss.

It was just that there was no one he could ask for proof, as only the two masked men were present at

that time.

‘Grandpa and Grandma have always treated Ivy like their own granddaughter, so I’m not against them

acknowledging her as one publicly as long as it makes them happy. I wonder if Kimberly will feel

uneasy over this, thought Christopher as her image flashed across his mind, and he chucked foolishly.

It felt like he had been possessed as thoughts of Kimberly would constantly cross his mind.

Lilian’s cry brought him back to reality. “Christopher, what were you thinking about? I even saw you

chuckling to yourself. Maxwell, you saw that, too, just now, right?”

As Lilian said this, she looked at Christopher and her frenemy plus companion, Maxwell.

In situations like this, Maxwell would usually choose to side with Christopher.

There was a slight teasing in his tone as he said, “I think there must be something wrong with your

vision. That’s why I keep telling you to eat more fish, but you never listen to

me.”

Even while roasting her, Maxwell couldn’t stop publicly displaying his affection for Lilian.

Christopher looked at the comedic duo and smiled in relief.

“It seems that I am overthinking things. They have each other for companionship, so there is no way

they will get lonely, thought Christopher.

Maxwell stopped making fun of Lilian and said gravely, “Christopher, the relationship. between your

useless father and Kimberly’s aunt was ill-fated. I’m worried the grudges. of the previous generation will

affect you. I plan to go to Dellmoor soon and discuss this with Yandel at his residence. Your mother has

agreed to it, too.”

After hearing of Maxwell’s plan, Christopher was surprised as it was unexpected that. Maxwell would

be willing to humble himself and resolve the grudges of the previous generation for the sake of

Christopher’s happiness.

Christopher felt touched and grateful for Maxwell’s willingness, but he couldn’t bear to let Maxwell do

that./

As Maxwell’s grandchild, Christopher knew how proud Maxwell was.

Christopher looked at Maxwell earnestly and said, “Grandpa, you don’t have to do this. I know how to

handle Kimberly’s matters.”

Maxwell was not a bumbling fool. He knew the current Kimberly was different from the Katherine he

knew.

She would have already returned to the Levine manor if she had forgiven Christopher. However, given

the current situation, it would appear that Kimberly had no desire to

return.

Yandel is probably fanning the flames right now. Although my current move is slightly risky, it is a clever

way to break the deadlock, thought Maxwell.

Maxwell exuded the aura of the family and said, “It’s settled, then.”

At Larson Corporation’s underground garage in Dellmoor, Kimberly had left work a little later than usual Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

today.

The underground garage was almost empty of cars.

Today, Kimberly had worn a light gray suit with three-quarter pants, revealing her ankles. She had also

put on beige high heels, looking simple and se xy.

After getting out of the elevator, she walked toward her car.

A man wearing a cap was sneakily following from behind.

He had deliberately pulled his hat brim lower so that no one could see the expression in his eyes.

It was extremely quiet, and after walking a few steps, Kimberly noticed that her surroundings were

scary.

She kept feeling that someone was following her, but when she turned to look, no one was there.

The stalker was very cu nning. She figured he must be a repeat offender with high vigilance.

However, Kimberly was also an alert and sharp woman.

She deliberately took out her phone, turned on the camera, and switched it to the front-facing camera

mode, pretending to be doing her makeup when, in reality, she was trying to catch a glimpse of that

person.

Sure enough, she caught sight of the stalker, but he suddenly hid behind the pillar again when he

noticed Kimberly standing in place, fixing her makeup.

However, Kimberly had already seen him.

‘My intuition was right, and I am indeed being followed, she thought.

At that moment, her heart thumped. After all, no one was around, and there was still a little distance to

her car.

That man was about six feet tall.

Kimberly knew some basics in kickboxing, so if the man fought alone openly and aboveboard, he might

not be her match.

However, she did not know whether the man had any weapons. She clearly saw him carrying a large

canvas bag on his back.

She calmed down and thought, I need to think of a fool-proof plan!

She looked around and realized she was 300 feet away from her car. It would take her about 18

seconds to get inside the vehicle.

The man was about 150 feet away from her.

‘As long as I can get into the car, it’ll be relatively safe, provided I’m not slower than the man, thought

Kimberly.

She had been a good sprinter during her school days and had clocked 15 seconds for 300 feet.

However, a man’s strength should not be underestimated.

She had no choice but to take a chance.

She thought, ‘What if the man has some spray or things like that? If he got close to me, I would have

nowhere to turn to for help.

Kimberly decided to go ahead after coming to a decision.

She quickly took off her high heels and sprinted forward with all her strength.

The stalker reacted and rushed forward, running after Kimberly.

Sure enough, his strength was not to be underestimated.

Kimberly was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Fortunately, before the stalker almost caught up with Kimberly, she slammed the door

shut before locking it.

Kimberly quickly started the car while trying to contact the security department.

After the attack on Christopher, Kimberly had also been more vigilant. She had asked the security

department to be available 24 hours a day.

The moment Kimberly’s car left the underground garage, the security department answered the phone.

“This is Kimberly. Lock down the underground garage immediately,” she ordered.

Upon receiving Kimberly’s order, the security department gathered in a rush, and all the exits were

quickly closed.

It seemed like Kimberly was going to trap the man and give him a severe beating.

Kimberly knew she was aboveboard in business and was unlikely to have any enemies.

Then there is a high chance this person is a per vert, she thought.

The head of the security department, Lionel Hastings, arrived at the scene. immediately. “Ms. Larson,

we have caught him,” he said.

Kimberly glanced at the man and confirmed it was the per vert.

She nodded and looked away, waiting for Lionel to finish interrogating the stalker.

At this time, Gerald called her.

After hearing what happened, he immediately grabbed his car keys and left the house.

He couldn’t imagine what could have happened to Kimberly if she had reacted one step. slower.

At first, the stalker was a tough nut to cr ack and refused to speak.

But when Gerald showed up and used his exceptional means to deal with this kind of villain, the man

admitted he was a stalker who targeted attractive, mature women.

Gerald contacted the Dellmoor Police Station.

Charles Lawson was reverent and respectful when he saw Gerald. According to the previous case file,

this stalker did have a criminal record and targeted beautiful, successful women.

He was a typical pe rve rted thief.
