Chapter 447


    "Nothing," Sam replied.


    "Nothing?" Vera sneered. "You won''te for no reason. Judging from your expression, I can tell


    that you''re here to make trouble. Why are you doing this? We''ve already paid thepensation so


    why won''t you let us go? Don''t assume that Minerva is the one pestering Young Master Yardley!"


    Sam answered, "I didn''t mean that. I just..."


    "Are you doing this for the sake of Maddox? This is why you are putting all the me on us, right?


    Sam, I used to think highly of you, but now you... I was too foolish. Anyway, we have admitted that


    we breached the contract. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact ourwyer. Don''t


    come to ourpany again."


    With that, she turned and went into the building, leaving Sam standing alone at the entrance.


    After a long while, he lowered his head, smiling bitterly. It seemed that... he really said something


    wrong that day.


    The truth was Sam had followed Maddox for many years and had seen him in his lowest state. He


    felt angry towards Minerva as he thought that she was the one who was responsible for that.


    Hence, he blurted out those words without thinking.


    Since Minerva had left, why was she trying to return? That was the thought Sam had.


    s, it seemed that Minerva had never looked for Maddox after she returned. She didn''t care about


    Maddox at all. He fancied her to no end but it was unrequited love.


    It was a pity that Sam dared not bring that up to Maddox.


    Nash immediately sent Minerva to her destination. Since Quill had made arrangements for her, she


    was escorted by the manager as soon as she entered the ce.


    "Miss Hanover, take a look at this."


    "Thank you," Minerva thanked the man sincerely and stood there looking at the surveince footage


    solemnly. When she spotted a suspicious figure, she said, "Rewind the clip to ten seconds earlier


    please."


    The operator followed her instructions. In the footage, Minerva saw a person covered from head to


    toe and wearing a cap. From the person''s figure, he should be a man.


    "Can I take a look at the footage in other areas?" Minerva made that request even though she was


    embarrassed to do so.


    Upon hearing her words, the man frowned at once.


    "Miss Hanover, I''m afraid that won''t be possible."


    Minerva blinked a few times.


    "I''m sorry, we''ve tried our best."


    They turned her down. Minerva smiled, saying, "It''s alright. You''ve already done me a great favor.


    Thank you for your help this time. I''ll treat all of you to a meal next time."


    "No. You don''t have to do so. We are willing to offer help to you for the sake of Mr. Hanover."


    Aftering out from the control room, Minerva and the man walked along the corridor. Out of the


    blue, a figure rushed over. "He is here."


    As soon as the manager heard it, his expression abruptly changed. "Why did hee?"


    Maddox had reprimanded them for their work thest time he came. Everyone knew that he was an


    unreasonable and ferocious man. They were all afraid of him as they had suffered his rebuke.


    "Miss Hanover, I..."


    As they were conversing, a tall figure appeared at the corridor.


    Everyone including Minerva was frozen to the spot.


    She looked at the tall figure with doubt. Previously, she was thinking who they could be talking


    about. She didn''t expect it to be him.


    The tall and handsome man instantly walked to her, his lips tightly pursed in a line. His cold eyes


    were fixated on her.


    The others were trembling with fear.


    "Y-Young Master Yardley."


    Minerva frowned slightly and said quietly, "It seems that you have something to attend to. I''ll make a


    move now."


    After that, she thanked the manager and was ready to leave.


    However, when she was walking past Maddox, he suddenly reached out and ced his hand on the


    wall, effectively blocking her path.


    Minerva was rendered speechless.


    As for Maddox, he remained motionless.


    Hisplexion was dark and furious.RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    The staff thought that he was annoyed due to Minerva''s intrusion, so they exined in a hurry,


    "Young Master, this is Hanover Corporation..."


    "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak?" Maddox looked at him coldly and


    scolded harshly.


    The man fell silent at once.


    Minerva remained at her spot.


    She raised her head to look at him.


    "What''s the problem?" She asked.


    The workers all turned pale with fright as soon as they heard her.


    How could she talk to Young Master Yardley in such a manner?


    What if they got into trouble? He had promised Mr. Hanover. If something happened to Miss


    Hanover, would the Hanover family be offended and dismiss him from his job?


    The staff member exined in a trembling voice, "It''s none of my business. Young Master Yardley,


    she insisted on entering this ce. I was forced to do so."


    Minerva was lost for words.


    She furrowed her brows, looking at him. The color drained out of his face. She thought about it and


    sighed inwardly without saying a word.


    They had promised to help her. However, when caught in the act by their superior, it was only


    expected for them to put the me on her.


    She had no right to me him.


    Minerva let out a chuckle and turned to look at Maddox.


    "Yes, I forced myself in. Can I leave now?"


    "What do you think?" Maddox finally turned to look at her.


    The two of them met each other''s gaze. Minerva''s lips suddenly moved as she said, "Since you


    have nothing to say, I''ll make a move first."


    After that, she reached out and pushed away Maddox''s hand to leave.


    As a consequence, Maddox couldn''t resist holding her wrist and dragged her forward.


    Minerva''s expression changed. "What are you doing? Let go of me!"


    "Maddox Yardley!" She shouted.


    The staff watched in terror. "What''s going on? How could that woman directly address Young


    Master Yardley by his name?"


    Could it be... Could it be that they knew each other?


    When he thought of that possibility, he freaked outpletely. He had just ndered the woman in


    front of Young Master Yardley. Wouldn''t he lose his job in future?


    As soon as that thought formed in his mind, the staff member ran after Maddox.


    "Young Master Yardley, please listen to my exnation!" He shouted after Maddox.


    "Maddox, did youe here looking for me? If you did not, please let go of me. I''ve already


    terminated our contract. If there''s anything, you can talk to mywyer directly!"
