Chapter 207

Kimberly crossed her arms and smiled at me. The face remained innocent and harmless, as it used to be, but the look in her eyes was completely different from when she was with Reynaldo. Her compassionate gaze glanced at my suitcase, and she sighed pretentiously. “Oh, you are indeed pitiful, to the extent of not even having a place to stay. Fortunately, Reynaldo was generous enough to give you a job as a handyman. Well, after all, you were his ex-wife, so he still had to lend a helping hand to avoid gossip.”

I lightly pursed my lips and smiled. “Actually, Ms. Palmer, you are quite generous. Just now, when you saw me with him, you didn’t get angry at all. You are much more generous than him.” I said the last sentence with a mocking tone.

Sure enough, a trace of cruelty flashed across Kimberly’s face. The next second, she chuckled. “What’s the big deal? Reynaldo was just humiliating you.”

“Actually,” I said, “he had told me before that he wanted you to arrange a position for me.”

“What do you think he said when I told him I would arrange a position for you?”

I smiled faintly. “What he said has nothing to do with me.”

“He said, ‘You are good for nothing. Giving you a job as a general helper is already overestimating you.’”

“Oh…” I asked expressionlessly. “Are you done talking? Because after you’re done, I still need to familiarize myself with the surroundings.”

What a joke. Reynaldo has belittled me like this before, and I didn't react much. And she still wants to use this to provoke me?

Kimberly was taken aback, as if she hadn’t expected my calm reaction. After a while, she sneered. “Ms. Duffy, stop pretending. If you’re sad, just show it. Your pretending not to care actually seems suspicious.”

I flashed a bright smile. “Ms. Palmer, you’re thinking too much. Three years ago, I didn’t like him, and three years later, I still don’t care about him. Not everyone is like you, cherishing him as a treasure…”

Boom! Before my words were finished, the door to the CEO’s office suddenly opened. Reynaldo, exuding a gloomy aura, stood at the doorway. He stared at me coldly, his gaze colder than winter ice. My heart tightened. Oh no, this man is going crazy again.

Reynaldo smiled and approached, his gaze piercing like knives. “Three years ago, you didn’t like me. Three years later, you don’t care about me. So, do you know what I think of you now?”

I took two steps back and shook my head. He leaned close, filled with hatred, gritting his teeth. “Just a plaything for warming the bed.”

My heart skipped a beat, accompanied by undeniable pain. I smiled stiffly. “Yes, is it?”

Reynaldo’s dark, intense eyes were fixed on my face. After a while, he sneered, stepped back, and walked out. That tall figure carried an aura of hostility. When Reynaldo was present, the spacious office fell silent. As soon as he left, the scene erupted.

“What happened? Mr. Humphrey seemed very angry just now.”

“Didn’t you see? It was that woman who angered Mr. Humphrey. Really, she used to look down on people, but now that her family is bankrupt, she shamelessly pesters our Mr. Humphrey.”

“Yeah, how did she have the audacity.”

“You don’t know yet, but she’s the most shameless one. She came once before, dressed provocatively, probably to seduce Mr. Humphrey. However, she was quickly kicked out by him.”

“Ah, there’s also this matter, tsk tsk, I didn’t expect it, she was actually so shameless.”

Mockery and insults filled the air. I listened without expression, my heart unmoved. But one heart still ached with unbearable bitterness because of Reynaldo’s words.

A toy that warmed the bed… Indeed, those few simple words, spoken from his mouth, formed a sharp arrow that pierced through my heart. Killing someone torments the conscience, but that’s all there is to it.

Kimberly smirked. “See, you were just a warm bed, so I don’t need to compete with you, nor do I need to get angry because of you and him. After all, that would lower my status.”
