Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 51

Kimberly Shell understood.

It was already a blessing for her that she could get married for a second time. She shouldn't be too picky.

However... when she saw that Mrs. Shell was not sad and worried at all, Kimberly was a little dispirited.

"Could it be... that Mom doesn't care about my feelings at all?" Kimberly thought.

Thinking of this, Kimberly no longer had the appetite to eat the food in front of her.

Kimberly took several mouthfuls of food, then putting her cutlery down, "Dad, Mom, I had already had something just now, and I can't eat anymore. I'll go upstairs to get something."

She did not wait for them to react and went upstairs.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shell could not help but purse her lips and said, "Do you think Kimberly blames me for this?"

Mr. Shell sighed. "I don't think so. That child is very considerate and smart."

"If she wasn't blaming me, then could it be that she was used to eating fancy food in the Yardley family and so she looks down on our family now?"

Mr. Shell couldn't help but frown. "What nonsense are you talking about?" "Was I talking nonsense? Look at her expression and you will know!" Mrs. Shell was so angry that she threw the fork and lost her appetite to eat.

Kimberly returned to her room. When she opened the door, she found that the room was a little messy. She frowned. She walked in and glanced at the room that had been searched through.

It wasn't like this when she left. Who came in and rummaged through her belongings?

Kimberly's face turned pale. She opened the drawer of the cabinet and took out a small box inside, only to find that the savings book that she had kept inside had already disappeared.

Her face turned even paler and she bit her lower lip.

Erica Shell must have entered her room. Thinking of this, Kimberly turned out to look for Erica.

Erica was hiding in her bedroom and on the phone with her boyfriend at that moment.

"I really don't have an appetite. I don't want to eat. Then... How about you prepare some food and send it over to me? Fine, fine, I'll wait for you."

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door. Erica was impatient, so she said, "Dear, wait for me for a moment. It's probably my mother."

After that, Erica went to open the door. Before she could see who it was, she shouted, "Mom, I've told you that I don't want to eat. Don't bother me again..."

Erica was stunned before she could finish her words. She stared blankly at the person who showed up at the door of her room. Kimberly looked at her coldly.

"Sister... Why... why did you suddenly come back?"

Kimberly looked behind Erica. Her room was very neat, completely different from her own.

Probably because she had done something bad, Erica swallowed her saliva out of guilt. Then she put the phone beside her ear and said, "My sister came to see me. I'll call you back later."

After that, she quickly hung up the call.

Kimberly stepped into the room at the same time. Erica came back to her senses and hurried to stop her.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Kimberly stopped and handed the box to her.

"Where is the thing inside?"

Seeing the box, Erica's face turned pale and she avoided looking at it. "What's that... How would I know?"

"You don't know?"

"Yes, sister, I don't know what is inside. How would I know where it went?" Saying this, Erica smiled and held Kimberly's hand. She said kindly, "Sister, you haven't been back ever since you got married. Did... the people in Yardley family treat you well? You haven't been bullied, have you?"

"If I said that I was bullied, are you going to switch places with me?" Kimberly calmly stared at her and said.

Erica's face got a little tense. She looked at Kimberly awkwardly for a while. She then let go of her hand, turned around, and said, "Sister, you know that's impossible. I have a boyfriend already."

"Yeah, you have a boyfriend, so you think you could just do whatever you want? How dare you say that you haven't seen the thing in the box?"

Erica suddenly turned around and said, "Sister, I have already said that I wasn't the one who took your savings book away. Why are you still asking me?"

Kimberly said,"... Did I say that it's a savings book?"

Erica thought, "Sh*t, I accidentally spilled the beans!"

"Sister! You've misunderstood! I accidentally went into your room the other time and saw it, but I swear that I really didn't take your deposit. You've worked so hard to earn that money, how could I use your money?" At this point, Erica began to play her little tricks again. She went forward to pull Kimberly's arm and said softly, "Sister, I am your younger sister. Why would I do such a thing?"

"I know exactly what you would do because you are my younger sister." Kimberly pushed her away emotionlessly and then spread out her palm. "Give it back."

Erica's expression was gloomy. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"Sister, I really didn't take it."

"Give it back."

The money inside was her own savings after working for so many years. There were at least tens of thousands of dollars in it. Erica took it and spent the money just like that. How could she let it go? She had to get it back!

"What are you both doing?" Mrs. Shell's doubtful voice came from the door when she saw the two sisters arguing.

"Mom!" As soon as she saw Mrs. Shell, Erica jumped up and hid behind her, as if she was her lifesaver. "Mom, you finally came. Sister is accusing me of stealing her deposit. But Mom, I didn't take anything at all."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shell immediately became serious and asked, "Kimberly, how could you accuse your sister? Don't you know where your own savings book is?"

"I left it in my room, but the room was rummaged through. Who else could enter my room so unscrupulously except her?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Shell immediately turned to look at Erica who was behind her.

Erica immediately argued, "How would I know? Maybe someone broke into our house? Anyway, I didn't take it!"

"Kimberly, Erica said that she didn't take it, so you should believe her."

Kimberly said, "Mom, that's all my savings. Shouldn't you know if someone had broken into our house? If someone did break into our house, then why did he only search through my room? If you or Dad didn't take it, who else could it be?"

"That's enough!" Mrs. Shell was so furious that she growled, "Just pretend that I took it then, okay? The family was running out of money, so we took your money to support the family. Is this your way of talking to your mother? Are you starting to look down on us now?"

Kimberly said, "Mom!"

"What are you shouting at? Are you acting high and mighty just because you are married to the Yardley family now? You don't even bother to eat dinner with us when you come home. You just remarried and lived in the family, you're not even the real deal. Don't think so highly of yourself. I'm putting a stop to the money issue. I was the one who spent all the money away. Do you want me to borrow money from the others and return it to you now?"

Kimberly didn't know what to say anymore.

She looked at Mrs. Shell incredulously. She couldn't believe that these words had just come out of her own mother's mouth.

"Mom, why? I've already listened to you and got married to the Yardley family... didn't I?"

"But why? Why are you doing this to me?" Kimberly asked, her lips trembling.

Mrs. Shell snorted, "What did I do to you? You scolded your sister as soon as you got home. Did I say anything to you?"

"If you don't like it, then get out of this house!"
