Chapter 419


    The sudden voice stunned everyone. Who was it?


    Minerva was very familiar with this voice. A tall figure was seen standing in front of her, seeming to


    have resisted thousands of troops for her.


    Maddox...


    Why was he here?


    Nicks was originally helpless about Emily''s character, so he spoke up for Minerva. However,


    never did he expect that Maddox would suddenly appear and even med him.


    Nicks''s expression changed at once.


    Emily became angry when she heard this, but the next second she stared at the man who came out


    all a sudden.


    The man had apelling aura. His ck eyes were as sharp as an eagle''s, and his handsome


    face was extremely attractive. However, at this moment, he looked at her sarcastically. His gaze fell


    on her with frost-like coldness.


    Emily somehow felt her image instantly shorten.


    He had pulled Minerva behind him. She was petitepared with Maddox. Out of the blue, Emily


    felt dissatisfied in her heart. Why?


    She was just an ordinary staff member. Why was there such an outstanding man protecting her?


    As she thought of this, she said furiously, "Sir, please observe the situation first beforementing


    anything. It was this woman who first collided with our car and even wanted to call the police. She


    dropped her cell phone to the ground and asked me to pick it up for her. Is this reasonable?"


    "Oh?" Maddox raised his eyebrows and sneered. Before he could speak, Nicks, who was beside


    Emily, glowered in fury and walked up to pull Emily aside. "Stop talking! You can''t afford to offend


    this person!"


    After listening to his words, Emily threw a tantrum. "Why can''t I provoke him? Nicks, all of them


    are bullying me, yet you are not on my side! Now, I''m telling you both, you can''t live in the North City


    anymore if you get into trouble with us!"


    The Quartley family was influential in the North City. Emily was pleased to have a man like Nicks.


    Besides, Nicks was submissive to her all the time. If anyone angered her, she could just tell the


    person off.


    "Emily! Shut up!" Nicks had a sour expression on his face, and his eyes glistened with rage.


    Emily was startled by his reaction and her eyes reddened. "Nicks, what''s wrong with you? Did I


    say anything wrong? They provoked us like this; we just wanted them not to hang on in North City.


    You used to love me very much. Why are you mad at me now?"


    Nicks was struck by Maddox''s aura and he broke out in a cold sweat.

    Although the Quartley family had a high status in the North City, it was far inferior to the


    impregnable Yardley Corporation. No one could afford to offend them.


    Especially after Maddox took over the business of the Yardley Corporation.


    Who would dare to provoke such a vicious and merciless man like him? Wouldn''t that be digging


    their own graves?


    Nicks ignored Emily and swiftly walked to Maddox in a cold sweat.


    "Young Master Yardley, Emily is not being sensible. She was bbering nonsense just now. Don''t


    find fault with her."


    "Nonsense?" Maddox scorned. "If it wasn''t for you supporting her, would she dare to say such a


    thing? Nicks, it seems that the Quartley family wishes to go against the Yardley Corporation.”


    When he heard Maddox, Nicks went white in shock.


    "Young Master Yardley, you have misunderstood me. How could the Quartley family go against


    Yardley Corporation? We haven''t had any business dealings with each other. Moreover... the


    woman behind you."


    Nicks secretly nced at Minerva, who was standing behind Maddox.


    "If you take one more look, I will gouge your eyes out," Maddox reprimanded him indifferently.


    Nicks immediately withdrew his gaze. At first nce, he could tell that there was something


    different about Minerva. Judging by her gaze and aura, she had a noble temperamentpared to


    other people. Thus, he did not want to make things difficult for her. Unexpectedly, Emily would


    cause such a scene and got Maddox and Yardley Corporation involved!


    Minerva, who was blocked by Maddox, was at a loss for words.


    What was going on? Why would Maddox suddenly appear here? Hadn''t she already said goodbye


    to him? He should be in thepany at this time.


    Could it be that... he had followed her all the way here?


    "Did he witness the embarrassing scene?"


    Furthermore, Minerva was rendered speechless when she heard him mention the Yardley


    Corporation. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to pull Maddox''s sleeve.


    Maddox was in a rage, yet he paused after noticing her gesture. He then turned and saw Minerva


    staring at him. "Mr. Yardley, this matter has nothing to do with you. I can handle it myself."


    She spoke in a soft voice. Maddox felt pleased about this.


    After all, she didn''t embarrass him on the spot. As he thought of this, Maddox sneered, "The way


    you handle it is to allow that woman to nder you and make trouble, isn''t it?"


    Minerva was tongue-tied.


    Had she been given the cold-shoulder?


    When Maddox was talking to Minerva, Nicks was observing from the side. The cold man in the


    business industry like Maddox who had never been close to women was actually protecting this


    woman at this moment. Furthermore, when he lowered his head to speak to her, he even met her


    eyes with a gentle gaze.


    It had been said that he had never been close to any woman. However, he had looked


    affectionately at her while talking to her, not to mention bringing in the entire Yardley Corporation


    trying to protect her.


    It was likely that this woman held a special ce in Maddox''s heart.


    As Nicks thought of this, he immediately felt that he would be in deep trouble. If the Yardley


    Corporation was to really attack the Quartley family...


    There would be terrible consequences.


    Maddox felt at ease when he saw that Minerva did not answer him back. He curled his lips. "Just


    wait. I''ll deal with it."


    Minerva was totally dumbfounded.


    Could she refuse him? She didn''t want to have anything to do with Maddox at all. If he helped her in


    such a manner, wouldn''t she owe him a favor?


    Minerva was in a predicament.


    "Nicks, who exactly is he? Why are you so afraid of him?" Emily was not convinced about it. She


    approached to hold Nicks''s arm with bloodshot eyes, weeping. "I don''t want to make things


    difficult for you anymore. Ask her to apologize and thenpensate us for the car repair fees,


    alright?"


    Nicks broke out in a cold sweat. Did she want to demand an apology from Maddox''s woman?


    That was unlikely to happen.


    "Apologize? Ah, you really should be the one to apologize." Maddox snorted and looked at Emily''s


    face. "Pick up the phone ande over to apologize to her."


    His domineering tone terrified the crowd.


    They soon realized that they were too afraid to speak ever since Maddox appeared at the scene.


    "Forget it." Minerva was a forgiving person. Moreover, she was not bothered about these kinds of


    things anymore. If things went on in such a way, she might really owe Maddox a big favor.
