Chapter 462


    "Do you think that I don''t know? Although you hide it very well, your feelings are as obvious as a


    pregnant belly. It''s impossible for you to hide it from me because I spend so much time with you."


    Minerva stared at her dazedly. After a while, she turned her head away without responding.


    "You''re thinking too much. You need to stop your spections."


    "Spections?" Vera took a deep breath, and then crossed her arms in front of her chest as she


    stared at Minerva.


    "Then why won''t you meet my eyes? Well, let''s talk about something else then. Don''t you think I


    don''t know that you looked up Maddox''s name when there was no one around? What is the name


    that appears most frequently on your search history? Could it be another Maddox?"


    Minerva was at a loss for words.


    Her heart thumped loudly, as it had been hit by a huge rock.


    "Did you really think you hid it well just because I never discovered it?" Vera paused for a moment,


    before she continued, saying, "In fact, I actually saw him on the highway when we were travelling


    from San Novia to North City, but I just didn''t tell you."


    Upon hearing that, Minerva abruptly raised her head. "What did you say?"


    Maddox was also there on the highway?


    Looking at her reaction, Vera had no choice but to tell Minerva about what happened on the


    highway that day. After that, Minerva finally came back to her senses. On that day, after Vera had


    gone to fetch food, she had be a little strange but Vera had managed toe up with an


    excuse at that time.


    But what was going on at the moment?


    Recalling the event, Minerva had never imagined it to turn out that way.


    "Are you surprised? You met him right at the moment you returned to the country. Sometimes, I


    wonder if your fates are intertwined. How else would you two meet on the road between North City


    and San Novia? However, you guys didn''t actually meet that day. Perhaps it was because I tried my


    best to prevent that. Minerva... As your friend, I know I''m selfish for saying this, but I really wish you


    would stop interacting with him. He has caused you so much harm. However, if you still love him,


    you have my support."


    After saying that, Vera actually walked to Minerva. She stooped down to hug her.


    Minerva was stunned.


    Suddenly, her eyes grew a little moist.


    It turned out that she had not been in solitude all those years. Vera had always known about it.


    That''s right. Even though she pretended to be calm whenever she saw Maddox, but for so many


    years... She had always secretly loved Maddox in her heart. She would pay attention to his situation


    and any news about him.


    She was well aware that he could abandon his wheelchair and walk normally. She knew that he had


    be the real owner of the Yardley Corporation.


    However, she still did not know how Maddox''s leg had been healed.


    Nevertheless, Minerva was happy that he could stand up again.


    However, even though she still loved him, she would not want to be with him all over again.


    The past was the past. Who made it a rule that she had to be with him simply because she still


    loved him? She thought to herself.


    "Go, make things clear with him and get rid of your doubts. If you really love him, then don''t miss


    this chance." Vera patted her on the shoulder as she spoke in a rare gentle voice.


    After a moment, she finally removed her hands from Minerva and turned around to leave the office.


    Minerva looked down to shoulder and saw the moisture on her shirt.


    It was two o''clock in the afternoon.


    A familiar-looking car pulled up at the entrance of thepany. Sam gave Minerva a call.


    "Miss Hanover, Young Master Yardley has asked me to pick you up."


    Minerva was already very familiar with Sam''s voice. She walked to the window and saw that Sam


    was speaking on the other side of the car. She pursed her lips and said, "Yes, give me five


    minutes."


    Minerva organized the documents before getting up from her seat and headed downstairs.


    Because Sam had appeared downstairs, many people were standing at the window in the office.


    "If I''m not mistaken, that is Sam from Yardley Corporation, Maddox''s assistant. Why is he here?"


    "Isn''t ourpany working theirs? He must be here to pick up someone."


    "Even if that''s the case, is it really necessary for them to pick up the person?"


    Gabrie smiled faintly. "Perhaps, it''s someone else''s way of doing things?"Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    Hearing that, Yasmine''s eyebrows quirked up. "What else could it be? Although Quill was the one


    who set up thispany for her, she is rather resourceful herself. She really is something else."


    "Even if she really is something else, stop being so jealous. Quill and Maddox are the hardest men


    to deal with in the North City. They wouldn''t even be bothered even if countless women appeared in


    front of their eyes. Instead of feeling sour about it, why don''t you put that energy into drawing new


    designs?"


    It was Kelly who said that. She flung several documents onto the table, then she stood up and


    crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking at Yasmine and Gabrie.


    Since the beginning, she did not like those two women.


    As her time in thepany grew longer, the more annoyed she became with them.


    "Hmph, who cares? As long there''s conflict between those two men, she would have the upper


    hand. Kelly, since you spoke up for her, do you want to be like her too?" Yasmine retorted with a


    snort.


    Gabrie crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, "But it''s a pity that others don''t look up to


    you."


    "Yes." Kelly put her hands on her hips. "They don''t like me and they wouldn''t like you all too. What


    are you proud of? And I think I have to tell you something."


    Speaking of that, Kelly felt a little proud.


    She was the only person in the office who knew the truth. Thinking of that, she said directly, "You''ve


    been viewing Minerva so poorly. I bet you would never imagine what I''m going to say next. She and


    Quill are not involved with each other in the way that you think they are. Her surname is Hanover."


    Yasmine could not understand the implication of Kelly''s words. She could only blink in response.


    "Her surname is Hanover. What about that?"


    Gabrie thought carefully and then stared at Kelly seriously.


    "What do you mean by that?"


    "What do I mean? You can think about it yourselves. Anyway, since your dirty minds can''t seem to


    think sensibly, I don''t think it''s worth exining."


    Kelly ignored them and walked away from the table to head outside. Seeing that, Aaron hurriedly


    followed her and asked, "Kelly, where are you going? I''ll apany you."


    "Get out of my way," Kelly spat at him. "If I am going to the bathroom, will you follow me in too? Are


    you crazy?"


    Scolded by her, he could only smile awkwardly. He scratched his head and said, "Then I''ll just wait


    for you here."


    After Kelly left, the others were confused.


    "What did she mean just now? Minerva''s surname is Hanover. What does that have to do with


    Quill?" Yasmine had no brains and she was still asking around.


    Gabrie thought for a while and felt that she had guessed about what was going on. However, she


    didn''t say it out loud and her face was a little pale.


    Meanwhile, Minerva was already in Sam''s car.


    After the journey started, there was a strange silence in the car.


    Seeing that the car was not headed for the city, Minerva frowned and asked, "Didn''t we agree to


    meet at thepany?"
