Chapter 452


    "Oh, my, that''s a lot."


    Helen widened her eyes as she stared at the designs in disbelief.


    "These are all your works? How can there be so many?"


    Minerva smiled and said softly, "Most of the items that Quill collected were already avable in the


    market. Some of them had been bought by him, while some of them were purchased in the auction


    when they were first made known to the public."


    "Wow, Minerva, Quill is really nice to you." Helen couldn''t resist clutching her chest. She was


    surprised that a cold- faced man like Quill was actually so considerate.


    What should she do? She took a liking to Quill too.


    "Let''s go." Minerva brought her into the hall. "This dress was designed by me, but I haven''t revealed


    it to the public. No one has ever seen it before. Please ept this dress as a token of apology."


    Helen looked at the dress. It glistened under the light, giving it a three-dimensional image. She was


    moved to the point of tears.


    "Minerva, you''re amazing. I didn''t expect that I would be able to wear your most precious design.


    Luck must be on my side! Minerva, let me invite you to the press conference. Come with me!"


    Minerva pondered for a moment before she nodded.


    "Okay."


    Then, she added suddenly, "Can I bring another guest?"


    "Yes, please invite whoever you want."


    Helen had her eyes fixed on the dress.


    Minerva nced at the dress as well.


    She felt very satisfied with that dress because it was different from her previous designs and she


    had made up her mind to keep and cherish it. She didn''t expect that she would give it to Helen on


    that day. Perhaps it was fate.


    After all, Helen was just as dazzling as the dress.


    Perhaps, everything was predestined!


    Helen epted it but she left it with Minerva that day. She told Minerva that she woulde to her


    house to put on the dress during the day of the press conference.


    Minerva agreed to it. After Helen left, Minerva returned to thepany.


    When she arrived at thepany, it was about time to get off from work. She was packing up to


    leave when thewyer, Mr. Zais, walked in.


    "I''m sorry, Miss Hanover. I''m afraid that I can''tplete the task you entrusted to me," Mr. Zais said


    as soon as he walked in. "The Yardley Corporation is not willing topromise, and... I think it''s


    better for you to talk to them directly."


    Minerva paused for a moment after hearing his words. Then, she answered, "Why would I need a


    lawyer if I have to do it myself?"


    Hisplexion turned pale, and he struggled to speak for a long time.


    Atst, he ced the document on the table and began to speak.


    "Anyway, I won''t take this case. Miss Hanover, it''s better hire someone else." "Mr. Zais." Minerva


    looked at him with a cold expression. "Before taking this case, you clearly understood the


    background of the other party. You have even signed a contract with me. Are you going to terminate


    the contract now?"


    "What''s wrong with terminating the contract? Wouldn''t it be much worse to lose my job because of a


    contract?" Mr. Zais ced a cheque on the table. "Besides, you have terminated the contract with


    the other party. Can''t I do that myself? I''m willing to pay the penalty fees."


    Minerva was at a loss for words.


    She nced at the cheque on the table and raised her eyebrows. "Thrice the penalty fees?"


    "That''s right." Mr. Zais nodded. He looked at the cheque in pain.


    Fortunately, thewyer fees were not too high, so he could affordpensation even though it was


    three times the initial amount. At first, he had been very upset about thepensation. However,


    that sum of money was not worth more than his future.

    "That''s it. I''ll make a move first."


    Mr. Zais left before Minerva had the chance to speak.


    After he left, she took the cheque and nced at it.


    Had she made a profit identally? She thought to herself.


    She had no other choice but to ept hispensation. Minerva kept the cheque and left the


    company.


    The next day.


    "Mr. Zais called and said that he had paid the penalty fees. He won''t ept the case." Vera ran


    back into the room shortly after she had just left. "What''s the matter? He has crossed the line. Did


    he abandon his responsibilities as awyer just because of Maddox?"


    Upon hearing Vera''s words, Minerva put down the pen in her hand. "Don''t put the me on him. We


    can only me Maddox for being too troublesome to deal with. Besides, even if this matter is


    resolved this time, it might happen again sooner orter."


    After that, Minerva opened her bag and took out the cheque. She then put it on the table.


    "This is the penalty fees paid by Mr. Zais. Transfer the money into thepany''s ount."


    Vera reached out and took the cheque. "This is thrice the amount; it''s approximately a few million!


    D*mn, why is awyer like him so wealthy? Does he not feel distressed over losing so much


    money?"


    Upon hearing Minerva''s words, she couldn''t help smiling. "To him, his future must be much more


    important than this."


    If he had been a little more dutiful, he would not be considered to have breached the contract and


    wouldn''t have topensate the penalty fees. However, he gave up too quickly and didn''t even put


    in any effort. Moreover, before signing the contract, Minerva had already told Vera to make it clear


    to Mr. Zais that it would be a troublesome matter. She had told thewyers to act ording to their


    abilities and to only ept it if they were confident of it.


    Mr. Zais epted the case but gave up after a short while.


    "We have made a few million out of the blue, but what are you going to do with the contract? If


    Maddox is unwilling to terminate the contract, won''t you have to face him all the time?"


    "Let''s put it aside for the time being." Minerva heaved a sigh. "There''s nothing we can do about it.


    He probably won''t disturb me for the next few days."


    "Well, we can only do so for the time being. We have to settle the urgent matters first. By the way, I


    have notpleted the task that you assigned to me. I may take some time."


    "Alright."


    As they were conversing, someone pushed open the door of the office.


    It was Kelly. She nced at the two of them before walking in with an envelope in her hand.


    "What''s the matter?" They asked her.


    "When I came in just now, a person handed me an envelope to pass it to you."


    Then, Kelly stepped forward with the envelope in her hands and ced it before Minerva.


    "What is it?" Vera was eager to open it.


    It was a thick envelope. As Vera was in a hurry to open it, the photos in the envelope fell all over the


    floor.


    Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment. Then, they squatted down to have a look.


    "Isn''t this Yvonne?" Vera gawked at the person in the photo. "It''s strange. Who sent this envelope?


    And why?"


    Minerva stretched out her hand and took the photo. After staring at it for a while, she replied, "Can


    you check if there are any other things in the envelope other than the photos?"


    Vera opened the envelope and her expression changed immediately. "There''s also this," she said.
