Kimberly sneered, "We are not rich like you, Princess. We spent our own money on this meal. What does it have to do with you?"
Kimberly was positive that if what was going on downstairs was so huge that everyone was giving her the scornful look, then it was likely to go on for the whole day.
Since that person was not going to leave anytime soon, why didn't they finish their meal first? RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Vera was very depressed and asked in a low voice, "You don't look like you are in a rush to go down. I'm very curious about what happened downstairs. I have lost my appetite to eat."
"You have to eat even if you do not have the appetite. Who knows? Maybe we would need to fight later on," Kimberly replied soullessly.
Vera agreed immediately and nodded. "You're right. Maybe we'll need to fight! I haven't fought for a long time. I'm so excited!"
Kimberly was rendered speechless.
Almost choking on her food, Kimberly couldn't handle Vera and looked at her. "Since when were you so rebellious?"
Vera gave her a mischievous smile.
However, Kimberly wouldn't have thought that she was right about finishing their lunch before heading downstairs, as they were really going to need some strength later on.
Winna had come to cause them trouble, and she didn't expect them to be so steady. She suddenly felt embarrassed that they ate so casually as if she wasn't standing right beside their table. She
glared at Kimberly angrily. "I can't wait to see the expression on your face when you get downstairs later!"
With that, Winna turned around and stormed away.
Vera made a grimace at her as she walked away. She couldn't care less about Winna.
Kimberly lowered her eyes and continued with her lunch.
Kimberly and Vera ate leisurely. Even the people around were feeling unsettled on their behalf. However, the two acted so calmly as if nothing had happened.
By the time they had finished their lunch, ten minutes had already passed. Vera collected both their trays and asked, "Shall we go now?"
Kimberly wiped the corner of her mouth with a piece of tissue and nodded. "Yes, let's go."
After putting away their lunch trays, they headed downstairs. Other people in the canteen who were curious picked up the pace to finish their lunch. When they saw the two girls leaving the canteen, they hurriedly put away their lunch trays and followed, in hope of a good show downstairs.
People were just that busybody.
Vera accompanied Kimberly downstairs. She glanced at the tailing crowd and asked in a hushed voice, "Do you think it'll be fine? There are a lot of people following us and we don't even know what's going on downstairs. Do you want me to go and check it out first?"
"It's okay. Let's just check it out together." Kimberly really wanted to know what had happened that made everyone think she was a mistress.
She was nowhere near to becoming someone's mistress. In fact, she was actually the one who had been cheated on.
She thought of Jonathan.
At the thought of him, Kimberly abruptly halted. She remembered that he had begged her to not find fault with him. Back then, she did not know what was going on, but now it seemed that the only persons who would have a grudge against her were probably Jonathan and his mistress, Bianca.
"What's wrong?" Vera realized something was wrong with her.
Kimberly came back to her senses and said, "Nothing, it's just that I think I know who's causing a scene downstairs."
"Who is it?" Vera asked curiously.
Kimberly smiled faintly. "If I'm not wrong, only that person would come over and find fault with me like this."
"Huh? This is unfathomable. I have no idea who's the person you're talking about."
"Don't worry. You'll know when you get there."
"Let's hurry up then," urged Vera. "Alright."
The two of them entered the elevator, followed by a big crowd.
As the group entered the elevator, the overload sign lit up. Vera, who was pushed to the corner while trying to protect Kimberly, was rendered speechless by these people. She yelled, "You guys are a bunch of busybodies. What does this have to do with you? What are you all following us for?"
Someone replied, "What's the matter? People are intrinsically busybodies. Speak for yourself, this has nothing to do with you either yet you are heading downstairs with her. Why can't we?"
"That's right, Vera. You can't have the show all to yourself!"
"What the hell! I am her best friend! Who are you guys? Can't you hear the elevator buzzing of overloading? Can some of you people please get out?"
"That's right. Those at the front!"
"Why us?"
"Oh, come on. So what if you miss a little bit of the show? You can take the stairs if you really hate to miss it!"
Everyone was reluctant to leave. And the elevator wouldn't operate. After a few moments, with no choice, some of them gave in and the elevator could finally move down.
Kimberly, who had been squeezed into a corner until her hands were on the wall, couldn't help but roll her eyes. These people were so nosy beyond her imagination.
This was her own business yet they seemed more curious than she was.
Ding-
When the elevator arrived on the designated floor, everyone swarmed out.
Squashed like sardines, Kimberly and Vera were the last to come out.
"These people are terrible," Vera remarked.
"There she is, guys! Look at that pregnant lady," someone spoke up from the crowd.
"That's her. She has been making a fuss here since morning, kept on saying Kimberly had stolen her husband."
When Kimberly's name was mentioned, everyone made way for her. Kimberly looked along the route and saw Bianca. She hadn't seen her for months, and her belly was bigger than she had remembered. Bianca had her hands behind her waist as she cried.
Bianca cried, "I have been pregnant for a long time, but that woman shamelessly seduced my husband. Do you know what else she said? She said I will become ugly after the labor, that I'll not be as young and beautiful as her. How can there be such a vicious woman? Oh, my husband..."
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Kimberly coming through!" Bianca turned around and saw Kimberly. She immediately walked up to her.
"Kimberly, you b*tch!" She stormed towards Kimberly. Kimberly realized she did not come alone. In fact, a group of robust women was standing behind her. They all seemed to be strong.
Kimberly had guessed it correctly. She knew it was Bianca who had caused the scene. However, she didn't expect to see her bring several women with her. She frowned.
What was she trying to do?
Bianca said, "Aunt, she's the one who was trying to seduce Jonathan. Get her!"
The nosy crowd around Kimberly quickly retreated upon hearing that. All of a sudden, Kimberly and Vera were the only ones left standing there.
"Hey, what do you guys think you are doing? This is Yardley Corporation, not a night market! Where are the security guards?"
Vera shouted!
