Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 343

"Huh? Of course not!" Vera smiled and held her hands over her lips. "I didn't misunderstand anything. Don't worry. It's okay for you to stay here. I'll just visit you every day." "I'll appreciate that. Well, I hope you're not just here for the food."

"F*ck! Kimberly, you're going too far!"

For the next few days, Kimberly remained in the hotel. She did nothing but eat and sleep. She even isolated herself from the outside world.

She was trying to numb herself... In fact, she was enjoying it.

However, things would not always go her way.

In the early hours on the fifth day, the doorbell rang and woke Kimberly.

She had no choice but to get the door. Mrs. Shell was standing by the door and she stared at Kimberly in shock.

"As expected, you're here. Silly girl, it's a hassle trying to replace you!"

Kimberly's head went blank. Before she could react, Mrs. Shell squeezed through the door. There was a woman behind Mrs. Shell and it was Erica.

"Erica, hurry, greet your sister." Mrs. Shell dragged Erica to Kimberly and instructed obsequiously.

Mrs. Shell and Erica were trying to come in, therefore Kimberly had no choice but to step aside. She leaned against the cold wall to make room for them.

Erica seemed reluctant. She raised her head to glance at Kimberly. Erica's eyes were filled with reluctance, hatred and anger.

Kimberly's eyes glimmered. The way Erica stared at her...

"She's not my sister. She's now the daughter of the Hanover family. Why would she still think about a nobody like me?"

Immediately, Mrs. Shell's expression changed. She put on a fake smile and uttered ingratiatingly, "Oh, sorry, Kimberly. Erica's just throwing a tantrum because she's worried that you won't want her anymore. Yet, both of you grew up together and you share a strong bond with her. Erica is your sister and you're very close to her. Kimberly... You always cherished her, right?"

"Humph, why do I need her? Mom, let go of me!" Erica shook off Mrs. Shell's hand and pouted. She added, "I don't need her. I'm just a nobody to her." Kimberly knew that Erica was willful.

However, Kimberly treated Erica like her own sister. Therefore, Kimberly knew that Erica would react like that. Kimberly replied softly, "She's right, I'm your sister." Erica was bewildered by Kimberly's statement. She stared at Kimberly hesitantly and muttered, "Kimberly, you... You'll still acknowledge me as your younger sister?" Kimberly put on a faint smile. "Why not?" Even if Erica was not her biological sister... Back then, Kimberly treated the Shell family like her own family. Moreover, she would always dote on Erica like an elder sister. Although she would get mad at Erica occasionally, Erica was sharp-witted. She would comfort Kimberly, hence Kimberly would never be able to stay angry at her sister.

Erica gave Kimberly a strange look. She fidgeted and murmured, "You're now the daughter of the Hanover family, so I... I thought that you'll no longer want me as your sister. After all... I have nothing. Back then, I used to anger you, so you must hate me for that."

Kimberly was at a loss for words. Yet, before she could speak, Mrs. Shell chipped in to explain.

"What are you talking about? You two are sisters. Why would Kimberly hate you? She would always tolerate you."

Mrs. Shell's remarks made sense, thus Erica did not retort.

After comforting Erica and Kimberly, Mrs. Shell began to glance around the room. She pointed out, "Kimberly, are you living here? You contacted the Hanover family, right? Why don't you go back? Isn't it sad to live here..."

Kimberly recalled Mrs. Shell's comments a few days ago. Kimberly's face turned cold and she snapped, "It's quiet here. I like it."

Mrs. Shell felt like something just pricked her heart. She felt very uneasy and replied, "Nonsense! It's noisy and uncomfortable. It's not safe for you to live here on your own too. Hurry up and pack your stuff. I'll send you back to the Hanover family."

Mrs. Shell pushed Kimberly into the room and urged, "Hurry up. Your sister is free today, so let's visit the Hanover family's villa."

Erica seemed awkward when she heard that. She bit her lower lip and retorted, "Why would I go... I don't want to." "Nonsense! We're just visiting them." Mrs. Shell smiled obsequiously and demanded, "Kimberly, hurry now. Pack your things." Kimberly did not move. After a while, the smile on Mrs. Shell's face vanished. She scolded, "Why aren't you packing?"

"I'm not going to the Hanover family," Kimberly concluded coldly, "I like it here."

"You! Are you stupid? You're the daughter of the Hanover family, so why are you still living in a hotel? What if the Hanover family misunderstood you? What if they think you don't want to be a member of their family? What if someone takes your place?"

"No." Kimberly shook her head and answered softly, "No one can steal my identity. Even if she does, it doesn't belong to her and I'll get it back."

It was the same with Sylvia. She became the daughter of the Hanover family. However, after a few years of having fun, she was forced to return everything to the rightful owner.

When the time came... She would fall hard.

What was the point of doing that?

Mrs. Shell did not know how to continue even though Kimberly was right... However, they were aiming to visit the Hanover family.

At the thought of that, Mrs. Shell said shamelessly, "Okay, then you can live here. Your sister and I have never been to the Hanover family, so we wanted to pay a visit."

"I'm not the head of the Hanover family. I'm afraid I can't call the shots. Mrs. Shell, if you want to visit, please contact Mr. Hanover."

"What did you call me?" Mrs. Shell was at a loss. She stared at Kimberly in disbelief. "You called me Mrs. Shell?"

Kimberly was indifferent and her eyes were emotionless.

"Of course, I'm not a member of the Shell family, so I'll address you as Mrs. Shell."

"You... You're trying to kick us away, right? Did you address me as Mrs. Shell to deny your past? Kimberly, let me this you, I raised you and I worked hard..."

"No one denied your hard work, Mrs. Shell. You don't have to be so agitated. The Hanover family will repay the Shell family."

Mrs. Shell narrowed her eyes. "You mean..."

"Kimberly, what do you mean by that? Do you think that I'm trying to get some rewards? After being a member of the Hanover family, you're looking down on me now?" Looking down? Kimberly glanced at Mrs. Shell and asked, "Who did I look down on?"
