Chapter 38

Olivia eagerly reached out and high-fived Kimberly after she hung up on Edward.

They were confident they would win the case with Timothy as the key witness.

Olivia could finally breathe a sigh of relief. During that time, she had to spend the whole day with

Jaxon, reviewing and analyzing the case.

She had a feeling that Jaxon was different now than he was then. He used to be gentle with people and

things, but when they had discussions about the case, he was hard to understand, and she could feel

his ruthlessness.

However, Olivia wasn’t sure. Perhaps it was just because he had grown up.

Anyway, it was best to steal a brief moment of respite.

Kimberly was thrilled to have made a breakthrough when she discussed the case with Olivia that

morning.

She had a good appetite at lunch and chowed down on all the sour and sp icy food. After she was full,

Olivia strolled around the yard with her for a while.

After a while, she yawned again. Her biological clock had been punctual since her pregnancy, and it

was urging her to take a nap.

Soon, Kimberly fell asleep and had a long, long dream.

She dreamed that she was in a big house with many relatives and friends and some children. The

adults were talking and laughing while the children were playing hide- and-seek in the house.

All of a sudden, smoke billowed, and the house caught fire..

She cried out of fear. Even when she slept, a few drops of tears rolled out of her eyes.

It showed how vivid the dream was.

All she could hear was the cra ckling of the fire in the house, the crying of the children, and the adults

outside calling for help.

She grabbed a boy next to her, then opened the secret passage her father had told her, and ran

forward as if a ferocious dog was desperately chasing her. The boy fell halfway down, and she hurried

to help him up and started running.

She hadn’t expected that there were no pursuers behind her but ahead of her. Two men

dressed in black seemed to be waiting for her, and at first glance, they knocked her unconscious with a

stick.

By then, Kimberly woke up in shock and immediately sat up in bed.

She felt her eyes get wet and wiped them with her hands. She hadn’t expected to shed tears in her

sleep.

As she sat there, she thought back to her scary dream.

Then, she felt discomfort in her temple. She rubbed it with her hand and shook her head vigorously.

It was a quarter to three when Kimberly checked her watch.

She had slept for more than two hours, and she must have slumped so deeply that her body felt

uncomfortable.

Then she quickly got up and washed up. She splashed cold water on her face to wake herself up,

thinking that Frederick would soon arrive at the Larson residence to sign the documents.

When she went downstairs, Frederick was already waiting in the living room.

Frederick quickly rose from his seat when he heard the sound on the stairs and saw. Kimberly coming

down.

There was a big pile of folders on the coffee table.

Frederick opened the documents one by one and explained them carefully after Kimberly sat down on

the couch.

Before Frederick could finish, Kimberly had signed her name without hesitation.

Kimberly trusted Frederick a lot after getting along with him in those days, in addition to Yandel’s

recommendation.

She probably wouldn’t be able to understand the work in such detail, but he would always list all the

pros and cons to make it easier for her to make decisions and make judgments.

Frederick could be regarded as the top CEO’s personal assistant throughout Dellmoor.

Kimberly casually asked about the company’s situation after signing the documents. She wasn’t

worried about anything except for two things. One was the progress of the design department, and the

other was her cousin, Whitney.

“How’s Whitney doing today?”

Frederick had probably guessed that Kimberly would ask about Whitney in the afternoon, so he had

paid extra attention today and asked his assistant to check out the situation at the design department.

“Ms. Larson seems to be normal today. She arrived at work on time according to the company’s

schedule and complied with the office rules. But she hung out with Genevieve today.” Frederick paused

for a moment and continued, “The others avoided her. They must have known she is not somebody to

mess with after the fuss yesterday.”

Kimberly still felt a trace of sleepiness and leaned lazily on the couch while listening to Frederick’s

detailed report.

Kimberly suddenly became interested when she heard that Whitney and Genevieve had gotten close.

To her surprise, Whitney, who had always been proud, struck up a friendship with the new employee on

her second day at work.

Nevertheless, her intuition warned her that if something went wrong, there had to be a demon.

Then, Frederick proceeded to report on the progress of the design department.

“I have personally inquired the director of the design department, Mr. Hawkin, regarding the project’s

status. Except for a few individuals who are dealing with urgent tasks, everyone else is currently

dedicated to working on the ‘LOVE’ theme design. We are currently in the initial draft stage. Mr. Hawkin

is planning to schedule overtime for the entire design department over the next few days, and we

should have the design sample ready by tomorrow afternoon.”

He added, “In addition, Mr. Hawkin also mentioned the new designer named Genevieve is quite

talented. Her first draft is relatively novel and should be of great use with a little touch-up.”

In fact, Kimberly was determined to win the distribution right at that time. Of course, she never fought

unprepared battles.

Larson Corporation’s design department was full of experts compared to similar companies. Yet there

was always someone better. If they were to expand from Dellmoor and Moranta into the global

markets, the gap would appear. Still, Kimberly wanted to test the potential of the design team.

In addition, Kimberly’s fourth older brother, Simon Larson, was her reassurance. Samuel had a keen

eye for jewelry design since childhood. He also had a wild imagination and a passion for jewelry

design. Diana had hired a famous teacher for him when she discovered his potential and interest, and

eventually, he achieved his current brilliant achievements.

After Frederick left the Larson residence, Kimberly strolled through the rose garden with pen and paper

in hand. Edward had said that the herbal medicine seedlings would be delivered in two days, and she

needed to set them up.

She sat on the nearby swing, sketching and drawing. When she was dissatisfied, she crumpled it up

into a ball and threw it on the ground.

Meanwhile, Esther saw Kimberly alone in the rose garden. She brought over a glass of lemonade in

case Kimberly was thirsty.

Once she had handed over the lemonade, she bent down to pick up all the discarded paper balls and

unfolded one of them. With a glance, she understood it immediately.

“Ms. Larson, you have nothing to worry about. The medicinal herbs garden was Mrs. Larson’s effort

and passion, but unfortunately, it has been destroyed. Even if you can’t fully restore it, she will be

happy to know about your intention.”

Kimberly looked at Esther as if she had understood.
