Chapter 500


    Minerva was stunned.


    "What do you mean?"


    She thought for a moment and understood Maddox''s meaning. Then she smiled and said, "It''s


    normal if she does me me. After all, I too, me myself."


    Upon hearing this, Maddox narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you ming yourself?"


    Minerva lowered her eyes.


    Yes, she had been ming herself.

    She was also responsible for Maddox''s injury. If it hadn''t been for her, he wouldn''t have been so


    badly hurt. She med herself. Why did she go look for Janice at the beginning? Although they had


    made an appointment, she should have left when Janice said that she didn''t have time. Why did she


    directly go see her?


    If she had not gone to that restaurant, perhaps she would not have run into Maddox?


    Thinking of this, Minerva smiled bitterly and said, "If I hadn''t gone to that restaurant, so many things


    would not have happened.


    Perhaps now you and Miss Lowell might have..."


    They might have sealed the deal.


    "There are no what if''s!" Maddox interrupted her in a cold voice. He pursed his thin lips and said,


    "You still don''t get it, do you?"


    "What?"


    "Five years. For five years, why haven''t I divorced you?"


    Minerva did not know the answer.


    At that moment, Maddox''s eyes were deep but bright, resembling hundreds of millions of stars


    shining in the night sky.


    His words pierced right through her heart.


    But... five years ago, he clearly...


    Thinking of this, Minerva retreated a few steps back and stubbornly said, "Let''s not talk about that.


    Let''s settle our current problems first."


    She tried to escape again...


    Maddox''s eyes darkened. Then, heughed softly and said, "Forget it. If you don''t want to talk about


    it now, then we won''t. Anyway, you will eventually have to face this in the future."


    The matter then came to an end.


    After Abigail arrived home, she directly called Sam and asked for the full story of the situation. Upon


    understanding the situation, she found out that Janice had indeed attacked first. Rage filled her


    mind and she directly gave Janice''s mother a call.


    Janice''s mother didn''t expect her call toe so quickly. Although she was in tears and was


    worried about her daughter, she answered the call with joy, "Abigail, what''s the situation? What did


    Maddox say? Can Janice be released?"


    Abigail did not speak, and Janice''s mother felt unsettled, so she called out again, "Abigail?"


    After a long while, Abigail''s cold voice came from over the phone.


    "We have known each other for quite a long time now, haven''t we?"


    Janice''s mother was stunned for a moment, then she nodded and said, "Yes."


    "Then you should know that I hate those that stir chaos."


    Abigail''s merciless voice made Janice''s mother panic at once. She guessed that Abigail might have


    already discovered the truth, so she exined hurriedly, "It''s not what you think. I have known you


    for so long. Would it be possible that I still don''t know your personality? How dare I tell a lie to you?


    It''s just that this matter is reallyplicated and I wasn''t present. The news was sent by someone


    else. If I was mistaken in what I told you, I apologize. However, Janice is really innocent, she didn''t


    mean to hurt Maddox at all... So I think..."


    "So you think that she can push all these usations away?"


    "I..."


    "Perhaps because I have been religious for two years, so you think that I, Abigail Stark, am easy to


    fool? Initially, I thought that Janice was kind, so I introduced my nephew to your daughter, but now it


    seems that I have misjudged her. Not only does Janice have a bad character, she is also vicious."


    "Abigail, how can you say that? Janice is a good girl. She has always been good at both her


    morality and education, and you..."


    "A girl who can so ruthlessly pour acid on someone else''s face; how dare you say that she''s a good


    girl? You''re right. She didn''t mean to hurt Maddox but she did intend to hurt someone else. She


    wanted to hurt a girl simr to her and disfigure her face."


    Janice''s mother was speechless.


    "Do you still want to defend her now?"


    Janice''s mother said, "Abigail, after all, she is my daughter. Even if she has done such a vicious


    thing, I am still her mother! I can''t... can''t just stand by and do nothing. Janice has never suffered


    since childhood. I have always been the one to watch her grow up. She has always been admired


    by the moon and the stars. I think she might have done such an irrational act this time because that


    girl did something excessive to her as well. Besides, this is a matter between the three of them.


    Why do you want to be involved in it?"


    "Fine," Abigail sneered. "Then I won''t get involved. I''ll let the young people handle it themselves. It''s


    none of my business even if she is sent in."


    "Please don''t do this, Abigail. I called you because I wanted you to take care of this matter."


    "Oh, I don''t think you want me to deal with the matter, but for me to help your daughter. Did you


    forget that Maddox is my nephew? You are Janice''s mother and you want to protect her. Can''t I


    protect my nephew as well?"


    Her words were extremely harsh, which stunned Janice''s mother at once.


    It took a long time for Janice''s mother toe to her senses. She sobbed and said, "Abigail! That


    wasn''t what you said on the phone before. Even if my daughter hadmitted a terrible crime, she


    did it with a


    reason. Maddox already had a girlfriend, yet you still set him up with Janice. If it hadn''t been


    because you didn''t make things clear, this wouldn''t have happened. Janice is a girl too. It''s normal


    for her to be angry about such things! It is normal for her to do something irrational when she is


    angry. All the children have done something wrong at one point. Do you really want her to be the


    only one who will face a dead end?"


    Abigail was speechless.


    All of a sudden, she felt that Maddox was really a headache.


    If he had refused Janice normally, such a thing would not have happened, but... this incident had


    be soplicated.


    Or, perhaps Janice had misunderstood him.


    Or could it be that Maddox had not made it clear to her himself?


    Thinking of this, Abigail''s head started hurting.


    "Abigail, I don''t me you, but Janice has been raised by me for so many years. I can''t watch her


    life go to waste like this. If she really gets convicted, how do you want her to continue with life in the


    future? She would take it too hard... Help me. After this incident, I will personallye to apologize


    to you with Janice. Is that fine?"


    After Janice''s mother softened her tone, Abigail couldn''t help but feel a little softhearted.


    ording to thew, pouring sulfuric acid at someone was not only a nasty thing but also a crime.


    Janice could be sentenced.


    However... she was the one who had introduced Janice to Maddox after all.


    Since things hade to this point, Abigail was obliged to take some responsibility.


    "I understand. I will discuss it with Maddox as soon as possible."


    "Abigail, I''ll leave this matter to you. As long as you can help Janice, I will keep my end of the


    promise."


    Abigail hung up the call feeling perplexed, and then she just held her cell phone in silence.


    She would not need to go to Maddox to discuss the matter. She could just directly go to that


    woman... and release Janice from prison...
