Chapter 505


    Her Facebook messenger app rang again and Vera''s thoughts were interrupted. She suddenly


    regained her senses and shook her head hard.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    What was she thinking about? How could Quill fancy her?


    Looking at Quill''s appearance, he seemed to be quite the conservative type. Otherwise, he wouldn''t


    have been still single until then. How could she, a girl without anything, catch his eye?


    After all, even when Juliette was so outstanding, Quill didn''t fancy her.


    As for Vera, how would it even be possible? What merits did she have, that could possibly make


    him like her?


    Thinking of this, Vera suddenly became more upset and she picked up her mobile phone to


    continue texting.


    "That''s impossible. Your brother would never like someone like me."


    "How would you know if you haven''t tried? Besides, haven''t you already kissed him? You can go


    one step further next time."


    Upon hearing this, Vera suddenly felt that Minerva was a scheming woman. She had indeed put in a


    lot of effort for her brother''s future.


    However, Vera was too embarrassed to continue talking to Minerva. She could only put her phone


    aside, turn her body around, and sprawl her limbs across the bed.


    She felt a little troubled.


    In the end, she decided that she might as well close her eyes and stop thinking about the matter.


    The next day was the day of the court trial. Of course, Minerva, as the witness of the scene, could


    not be absent. She washed up early in the morning, changed into a presentable suit and then put


    on a trench coat before going out.


    Before leaving, she told Beanie to eat well at school and that she would pick him up personally after


    school.


    Minerva hadn''t personally picked Beanie up in a long time. Naturally, he agreed happily after


    receiving such a promise.


    She went to the hospital first and when she arrived at the door of the ward, she heard the


    conversation between Abigail and Maddox.


    In addition to that, there was another voice.


    Minerva stood at the door of the ward and saw what was happening inside through the small ss


    window.


    Abigail sat calmly on a chair. Maddox had a cold expression on his face. In front of him, stood a


    woman who was dressed in expensive clothes. Minerva had been in the circle long enough to be


    able to tell that the woman was wearing luxury goods.


    She looked anxiously at Maddox, as if she was trying to exin something. Her hands moved along


    as she spoke.


    After thinking for a while, Minerva could guess who she was.


    Janice''s mother, Samantha, was probably the only one at this age who woulde to the hospital


    at a time like this.


    She didn''t know how long they would be discussing for, so Minerva didn''t go inside. Instead, she


    waited by the door.


    However, Maddox''s eyes were cold all along. He didn''t want to hear the nonsense that Samantha


    was spewing. He was determined to punish the woman who had deliberately tried to hurt them.


    When Minerva appeared at the door of the ward, Maddox''s attention was instantly drawn to her.


    While Samantha was still talking, Maddox stood up and walked towards the door to leave.


    Samantha and Abigail were stunned for a moment, and then trailed after him.


    Watching his hurried steps, Abigail was a little surprised. Samantha looked at her doubtfully, but


    Abigail spread her hands out in a look of confusion, showing that she didn''t know what was going


    on.


    Maddox''s voice became gentle as soon as he opened the door. Abigail could guess the reason


    easily.


    "Why are you standing outside the door? Come in," Maddox looked at Minerva standing against the


    wall. Was this woman stupid? She stayed outside even when she''d arrived. She was just standing


    there. How long was she even nning to do that?


    Did this person have x- ray vision? When Minerva had looked at him just now, he wasn''t even


    looking in her direction at all. How was he able to find her there?


    Maddox could easily guess what she was thinking when he saw her surprised expression. His thin


    lips curled and he said, "There''s no need to guess. Our hearts are connected. We are telepathic."


    Minerva was rendered speechless.


    She wondered, "Was he able to read minds?"


    However, she did not have time to think longer. Maddox had already taken her by the wrist and


    brought her into the ward.


    He already had no intentions of listening to Samantha. After bringing Minerva in, he directly ordered


    her to leave, "I won''t change my mind. You can go now."


    She was still an elder after all. Yet, Maddox had behaved so impudently that Minerva couldn''t help


    but frown. Although she felt that Maddox''s behavior was a little too over the line, Samantha had


    deserved it for not disciplining her daughter.


    Her daughter hadmitted such a terrible crime. Yet, she did not feel any regret on her behalf,


    and still wanted to shelter her.


    Therefore, Minerva didn''t say anything. She merely stood there with a nk expression on her face.


    Samantha immediately panicked when she heard Maddox''s order for her to leave.


    "Maddox, don''t do this. I came here today to sincerely apologize to you. Janice did indeedmit a


    terrible crime and it''s all because I didn''t teach her well, but she''s a girl after all. If she goes to jail


    like this, she''ll suffer a fate worse than death!"


    Minerva''s lips twitched but even then, she did not speak her mind.


    Maddox snorted and said, "Don''t you think that the state I am in now is also worse than death?"


    After Maddox had questioned her, Samantha said with a distressed tone, "I know that you are now


    suffering a thousand times more than she is, but there are always times when people make


    mistakes. Janice was indeed too impulsive this time. As long as you are willing to forgive her, I


    promise that it won''t happen again. If it does, I will be the first to punish her as her mother. But...


    This time, please give her a chance to correct her wrongs."


    Those words were extremely moving.


    Minerva carefully studied Samantha and found that she was way more rational than Janice.


    Of course, it couldn''t be forgotten that perhaps she was merely putting up an act to save her


    daughter.


    Samantha must have noticed Minerva''s gaze and turned to look at her. In the end, her gazended


    on Maddox''s hand, which was holding her hand. She suddenly thought of something and looked at


    Minerva. "You, you''re that woman?"


    Minerva was stunned for a moment and then she slowly pulled her hand back.


    Just as she was about to retract her arm, Maddox''s grip suddenly tightened and he grabbed her


    wrist tightly. He did not want to let go of it.


    This action was enough to exin everything.


    All of a sudden, Samantha ced her hope on Minerva. She suddenly walked towards her.


    "I heard that Janice intended to throw acid at you and it was Maddox who had blocked it for you


    which is why he''s so badly injured now. So in essence, she had intended to hurt you, so you should


    be the one that I must apologize to. I''m sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of my daughter. She''s just


    too young and ignorant. Can you forgive her this time?"


    Minerva''s lips twitched as she looked at Samantha who was trying her best to save her daughter.


    She was also a mother, so she naturally understood what Samantha was feeling.


    Thinking of this, Minerva couldn''t help but nce at Maddox.


    Perhaps it was because he knew what she was thinking, Maddox finally let out a sigh,


    "Do you have any thoughts?"
