Chapter 148 Kimberly Harris Is Not Wronged
My first reaction was a moment of confusion, then immediately, I found it laughable.
Vicious?
When Kimberly and Skylar kidnapped me and injured me from head to toe, I didn’t see them reflect on their actions.
Now, just because I had Noah replicate my injuries onto Kimberly, it’s considered vicious.
Are the children of wealthy families more precious, while ordinary people are inherently lowly?
“You speak up, are you feeling guilty? Fine, since you hurt my daughter, don’t blame me for doing something to hurt you!” Skylar was still shouting furiously on the other end of the phone.
The phone was connected to the car’s Bluetooth, so ferry could hear everything clearly.
I opened my mouth, but before I could speak, Jerry beat me to it: “Auntie, you’re wranging Ms. Royston. I was at her company all afternoon to hitch a ride, and I didn’t see her interacting with any shady people.”
With a casual attitude, he effortlessly distanced me from the incident.
“Jerry?
Skylar hesitated, suppressing her anger, “Even if she did it, she wouldn’t have to meet anyone in person to do it. Don’t be fooled by her simple and kind facade!
“So you’re certain it’s her?”
“She’s the only one in Jacquar with a motive!” Skylar insisted.
jerry chuckled, “Why do you say that?”
Skylar, still enraged, began to curse, “Kimberly kidnapped her not long ago, bullied her terribly, and forced Christopher Valence to divorce her. You think she wouldn’t hold a grudge?”
“In that case.
Jerry nodded slightly, smiling, “Then if it really was her, Kimberly Harris deserved it.* NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Terry!”
Skylar realized she had said too much and snapped, “How can you side with an outsider instead of your own? Your parents told you to take good care of Kimberly when you came to Jacquar.”
“Just a polite remark, and you took it seriously?”
Jerry replied indifferently.
Skylar, knowing she couldn’t out–argue Jerry, grew more furious and directed her anger at me, “Hope Royston, don’t do such vicious things and then play dumb! Speak up!”
I responded calmly. “What do you want me to say?”
“Was it you who did it today?”
I glanced at the traffic light, “Even if I said it wasn’t, you wouldn’t believe me, right?”
“Of course not! Who else would have it out for our Kimberly!” Skylar gritted her teeth in hatred, as if she wanted to rush over and avenge Kimberly right then.
I replied coldly, Then let’s say it was me.”

If there were any chance to deny it, I would have denied it no matter what.
I don’t have the same backing as Kimberly, who wouldn’t even flinch at committing murder.
For me, the fewer troubles, the better.
Skylar was taken aback, suspiciously asking, “Was it really you?”
Before I could answer, Jerry spoke up, “Auntie, do you think she knows anyone who would dare to go against the Harris family?
“That makes serise
Skylar, a firm believer in the law of the jungle, found Jerry’s words quite agreeable.
Someone like me wouldn’t have the guts to bully Kimberly
Skylar paused, then coldly warned, “Hope Royston, you better stay honest. If you dare harm even a hair on Kimberly’s head, I’ll make your life a living
With that, she hung up the phone.
I glanced at Jerry, a question mark forming on my face, “Why didn’t you stop Noah Gomez and even helped me deceive the Harris family?”
Did Jerry have a grudge against Kimberly?
Jerry, with a lazy expression, replied nonchalantly, “Don’t flatter yourself. I just wanted to deal with her as well.”
1 responded cheerfully, “Alright, then today’s incident is on you
Being able to get revenge on Kimberly while keeping myself out of it–why not?
Jerry shot me a sideways glance, chuckling, “Hope Royston, you’re quite the opportunist, aren’t you?”
I smiled. “But when did you find out about that?
me like I was an idiot, Do you think Nouh Gomez would act without informing me first?
I frowned, thinking it over, and understood, “I get it”

I shook my head with a smile, “Senior, why are you here?”
“I got off work early today and bought you something to eat.”
Cecil lifted a thermal bag, “Something you’ll like.”
Secing the logo on the bag, I was surprised, “In1
1 this fish restaurant on the north side of Jacquar? With the evening traffic and the wait.
This place was an old favorite in Jacquar. We used to go there during college.
Back then, we were full of energy and willing to travel far for good food
Cecil smiled, “If it makes you happy, it’s worth the trip.”
Thank wi. Semin
a hesitated for a moment, then took the th
thermal hag from Crail, smiling, “You haven’t eaten either, right? Join me?”
As I spoke, I bent down to get a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet,
“I would be impolite to refuse.”
Cecil stepped in, his face lighting up with joy.
It seemed like having a meal with me was a source of great happiness for him.
However, this deep and sincere affection. I feared I couldn’t reciprocate.
Cecil changed his shoes and walked over to help me unpack the food from the thermal bag.
The aroma was mouth–watering
I took a bite of the t
fish, my appetite instantly piqued, and praised. “The taste hasn’t changed a bit!
“I knew you’d like it.”
Cecil sighed in relied, his smile traching his eyes. “If you like it, I can buy it often.”
No need, this place is too far.”
I declined politely while picking up a shrimp, “With the traffic and waiting time, it takes three to four hours. It’s not necessary”
Cecil’s eyes sparided, “If you like it, it’s worth it.”
