Chapter 459


    Too many things had happened that day. The whole sequence of events were like a fever-induced


    dream to Kelly.


    First, she had never imagined that she would be invited to attend the live event. After witnessing the


    turn of events firsthand, the depression caused by the damage of her work had been swept away


    completely.


    With a few more pictures, the whole journey would beplete.


    After all, she had met Maddox as well as the famous celebrities Yvonne and Helen.


    She had once been a nameless designer. Although her work was excellent, they couldn''t be


    compared with those top- ranking and outstanding teams. Hence, she never dreamed that she


    would have such an opportunity.


    After taking photos, a few sharp- eyed people noticed that Helen''s skirt was very special.


    They eximed in excitement, "Miss Lowell, the dress that you''re wearing today is so unique. If I


    remember correctly, this is one of Shelly''s works, isn''t it?"


    Helen was about to leave the scene. However, she stopped in her tracks when that question was


    posed. Yvonne also stopped and looked at Helen in confusion.


    Helen revealed a small smile. "Your eyes are sharp. This is indeed Shelly''s work."


    "I have seen this piece before when I was attending activities abroad. I heard that it was bid at an


    absolute high price by a mysterious man when it was first released. After that, it never appeared


    ever again. Many people didn''t have the chance to even see it, but Miss Shelly has never designed


    a simr dress after that. May I ask, Miss Lowell, how did you get this piece of work? Did you bid for


    it with a huge sum of money?"


    Helen blinked as she searched for Minerva, who was seated in the audience. Minerva shook her


    head imperceptibly. Receiving her cue, Helen immediately reacted andughed softly, "Well, about


    that, please take a guess."


    She initially wanted to drag Minerva up onto the stage. However, Helen respected her wishes. If


    Minerva was not willing to reveal her identity, then Helen would obey. Without denying not


    confirming, she gave a vague answer instead.


    After that, she waved her hands. Gathering her dress, she then spun around in a circle.


    "Well, I think I should take my leave now. To all my fans and my dear reporters, I hope to see you


    soon."


    After that, she lifted her long dress and headed for the backstage.


    When the reporters saw that, they rushed out of the scene with cameras in their hands, ready to


    wait for her at the back.


    When Yvonne saw that, she was furious. However, her manager stopped her.


    "Let it go. Don''t get photographed by someone else. Let''s just leave quickly."


    "Hmph, what''s so great about that designer''s work? Who is Shelly anyway? Howe I''ve never


    heard of her? Why are they making a fuss over such a tiny matter?"


    After saying that, she turned and left. Thinking of the dress she was wearing, Yvonne was reminded


    of Quill, and then she smiled proudly.


    As soon as she became Quill''s wife, she would crush everyone else under her feet!


    As the event was drawing to an end, Minerva was about to leave with Vera and Kelly. However, just


    as she stood up, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to her seat.


    She turned around and saw Maddox holding her arm. He was staring at her thoughtfully.


    "What are you doing? Let go." Minerva''s words were harsh as she berated him.


    Maddox narrowed his eyes. "What''s with this shift in attitude?"


    Kelly and Vera blinked as they watched. Then, they sat back down in their seats as if they had seen


    nothing.


    Several people around them looked over, making Minerva a little embarrassed. She wanted to avoid


    their gazes and stares. Hence, she lowered her voice and said, "You should let go of me quickly.


    Everyone else is watching. Do you wish to be recognised by others at this press conference?"


    "So what if they recognise me?" Maddox raised his eyebrows.


    That was right. Regardless of where Maddox went, he would be recognized anyway. Hence, there


    was no reason for him to worry.


    In fact, it would be better to be recognized as he would receive their attention.


    "Nothing," Minerva took a deep breath and said in a low voice. "Can you let go of me? I''m leaving


    now."


    "Sure." Maddox stared at her like a rogue. "Fine, I can let you go if you want me to but you have to


    add me on Facebook."


    Minerva was dumbfounded.


    She thought she had heard him wrong.


    So, he blocked her way just to make her add him on Facebook? What was going on?


    Minerva blinked at him. "What did you say?"


    "You blocked me," Maddox said, full of resentment at that matter. After all, he had kept that event in


    mind at that time, hoping that Minerva would add him back as a Facebook friend.


    Therefore, he made sure to seize hold of that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.


    After that, Maddox took out his phone andunched the Facebook app.


    Minerva asked, "Once we''re friends on Facebook, you''ll let me go?"


    After hearing herself ask that question, Minerva thought that her brain must''ve been damaged. Why


    was she asking him such a question?


    "Yeah, I guess," Maddox urged her. "Quick, take out your phone."


    Minerva paused for a moment and looked back at Vera and Kelly.


    Kelly blinked her eyes innocently and said, "It''s just adding a Facebook friend. It won''t cost you your


    life. Just add him."


    Taking in the situation, Vera nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, that''s right. Minerva, hurry up


    and add him!"


    "You traitors!" Minerva cursed internally.

    Minerva shot them a re. In the end, she took out her phone. Since Maddox had been blocked


    previously, she had no choice but to open her list of blocked ounts on Facebook to unblock him.


    "Done?"


    "You haven''t added me as a friend yet." Instantly, she received a friend request from Maddox. Then,


    his tall body leaned towards her. His dominating aura was suffocating. "Quick, ept it."


    At that moment, he looked like a child asking for candy. Minerva felt helpless, but nevertheless she


    quickly epted his request.


    "Is that all?"


    When Maddox received the notification on his phone that she had epted his friend request, his


    lips immediately curved into a beautiful smile. Then, he thought of something and said coldly, "You


    are not allowed to unfriend me when you go back!"


    Minerva could only respond, "You..."


    She just wanted to ask how he knew she would do that. However, after a brief thought, she felt that


    it was not necessary so she only nodded.


    Tine, I won''t do that. Can we leave now?"


    This time, Maddox was content to move his leg away. Minerva let out a sigh of relief and then got up


    to leave.


    However, when she stood up, she realized that the heel of her shoe had broken. Just now, she was


    in a daze after speaking to him and she had forgotten about that matter.


    "Ah, Minerva, your shoe is broken. What should we do?" Vera cried out in surprise.


    Minerva sat down again. She looked at the bottom of her shoes and felt a little depressed.


    She simply took off the other shoe and then held it in her hand. Stepping on the cold floor with her


    fair and tender feet, she said in a low voice, "Let''s just go out like this first."


    Seeing that, Maddox was dazzled by her snow-white feet. His eyes narrowed dangerously.


    In the next second, he suddenly stood up and lifted the barefooted Minerva by her waist.
