"Kimberly!" Sylvia turned pale at once.

Kimberly was particularly calm in comparison to her.

"Whatever you can't say, I have already said it for you."

Sylvia's face turned extremely pale like a ghost as she was staring at Kimberly.

Kimberly chuckled and pinched Sylvia's cold cheek. "Why do you look so surprised?"

"You, stop talking nonsense." Sylvia pulled her hand down and shook her head rapidly. "I have nothing to do with Maddox and I don't like him either! You and I are not love rivals, we are best friends." "Best friends..." Kimberly murmured the words and lowered her head, her voice getting softer. "We are indeed good friends, but I didn't expect that we would fall in love with the same person, and that you would even lie to me."

"I didn't lie to you!" Sylvia seemed really anxious. She then went over to her and held her hand as she explained, "Where did you get that from? Was it Vera? Did she accuse me again? You have to believe me I really won't be together with Maddox..."

When she looked up, Kimberly saw that Sylvia's pink earrings were dazzling with radiance due to the refraction of sunlight, as if they were mocking her words. "Sylvia, do you know?" Kimberly held her hand again and looked at her calmly. "I have seen those earrings before."

Her words made Sylvia pause completely.

Sylvia opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something to Kimberly, but she was lost for words.

Kimberly smiled leisurely and commented in a calm manner, "Feelings cannot be controlled. I won't blame you for that, though I still won't forgive you either."

Kimberly got up without looking at Sylvia anymore, and she looked towards the door in a distance.

"We can no longer be best friends."

Kimberly eventually left and Sylvia froze to the spot, then only did she realize that she was supposed to go after Kimberly and explain herself. Nevertheless, Kimberly was long gone by the time she ran towards the door.

At this moment, Sylvia felt extremely nervous as she was clueless about what to do next. She didn't expect Kimberly to replace out about this matter so soon and confront her. She thought that she could still keep it a secret for some time.

However, she didn't expect Kimberly to be that straightforward that day.

Sylvia took out her phone to give Kimberly a call, but her mobile phone was turned off. Sylvia started to become anxious as she couldn't seem to replace another way. All she could do was to look around for Kimberly.

Sylvia searched for Kimberly for a long time, but she couldn't replace her. She could only make a move first and went back helplessly. Unexpectedly, she received a phone call from Sam, saying that Maddox wanted to see her.

She was still feeling annoyed. Even so, after hearing that Maddox wanted to see her, she immediately put the negative thoughts away and hurried to the location with excitement.

When she arrived at the destination, she found that Maddox was looking at her with his cold eyes. Conversely, Sylvia still wore a gentle smile and walked over, "Maddox, you want to meet me?" When Sam saw Sylvia, he took two steps back and tried to stay away from her as far as possible.

Although he knew the whole story, he disliked this woman. It was annoying to even just look at her. How could such a woman betray her best friend so easily like that? The way she looked at Maddox was like she wanted to stick her eyeballs onto him.

Maddox did not answer her. He shot a glance at her and saw the pink earrings on her ears. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his side.

"Who asked you to wear those earrings?"

His voice was as cold as ice like a knife.

"Ah, it hurts!" A red bruise appeared on Sylvia's wrist, and it hurt so much that her face turned pale. Maddox was still not letting go of her, and he looked at her angrily, "Who allowed you to mess with my things? Tell me!"

Sylvia was in so much pain that her tears were dropping. "It fell out of your suit pocket that night. I saw it and I liked it very much, so..."

"You stole it if you took it without my permission! Does the Young Miss of the Hanover Family lack such a thing?"

Seeing those earrings on her ears, Maddox didn't know why he felt like the earrings were contaminated.

When Kimberly was putting it on, he felt that it was lovely, but he didn't expect that she would actually turn away without buying it. Thus, he went back to buy it after that, and was ready to replace a chance to give it to her.

Nonetheless, who would have thought that Sylvia would actually take it away?

"I'm sorry!" Sylvia felt that her hand was about to be snapped off. She was in so much agony, tears streamed down her cheeks. She kept on apologizing to Maddox. "I'm really sorry. I like this pair of earrings a lot, that was why I took it. If you're angry, I'll give them back to you."

She reached out her other hand to undo the earrings.

She didn't expect that Maddox would suddenly push her hand away, he replied coldly, "Never mind, those earrings are worthless now."

Upon hearing his words, Sylvia stopped as she looked at Maddox in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Sam couldn't resist explaining, "It means that you have contaminated the earrings. Oh, Miss Hanover, don't you have any manners? Do you take others' things without asking? You are not Miss Hanover, are you? Are you pretending to be her?" He was merely complaining, but his words pricked right into Sylvia's heart, and she suddenly became furious. She glared at Sam, "What the hell are you talking about?" Sam was frightened by the viciousness in her eyes. "What is that look?"

Maddox's gaze swept over her and Sylvia's expression changed. She looked pitiful at the present moment. "Maddox, I'm really sorry... I didn't mean to wear them. I just woke up at that time and saw them, and thought that they were very beautiful. I thought you were giving them to me, hence I... wore them. I really didn't mean any harm. Trust me, I won't touch your stuff again."

After that, Sylvia quickly took off the earrings and put them back on Maddox's palm.

"There you go. I promise you that as long as you won't let me touch something, I will never touch it again."

The earrings were returned to Maddox's hands. He looked at them and felt annoyed, mocking, "You've already worn them. Do you think I'll still want them?"

Sylvia's face turned pale, and even the color on her lips was gone. She bit her lower lip and said in a trembling voice, "I know. You bought the earrings for Kimberly, didn't you? I'm really sorry. If I knew that, I wouldn't have touched the earrings no matter what!"

Sylvia next raised her hand and slapped herself in the face. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have appeared in front of you. I'll go to Kimberly and admit my mistake!"
