Chapter 535
"Why? Did you think that Minerva had an affair with your brother, Benedict? Did you think that she
had chosen Benedict and didn''t choose you instead?" Abigail pointed it out to him precisely.
Maddox did not retort because Abigail was right.
He pursed his lips together with his displeased look and his surrounding aura became icy cold.
"Do you know what the scariest thing going on between the two of you is? There is no trust."
Trust?
Maddox''s pupils dted slightly.
Abigail continued, "Regardless of whether you are married or not, this is one of the most crucial
elements. In fact, almost all lovers in the world don''t trust each other enough. Even the slightest
distrust can separate a couple. Most of the time, exnations are useless as well."
Speaking of this, Abigail''s eyes became a little sad, as if she was reminiscing about her past.
Seeing that he was silent, Abigail did not know if he had indeed heard what she said. She earnestly
advised, "As your aunt, I want the best for you. I only have you, my only nephew. I''m not married
nor do I have a child. I guess I''ll be living like this for the rest of my life as well. Hence, I have no
intention of causing you harm. You have to give this matter a thorough thought. There are many
gooddies out in the world. Stop making things difficult for yourself and others. I''ll be heading back
to San Novia tonight. Remember to visit me more often when you have time."
Hearing that Abigail was leaving, no matter how displeased he felt, Maddox still nodded and took in
her words.
Ever since Maddox had messed up the blind date that day, Nicks had only contacted Minerva
once to apologize. He couldn''t afford to offend the Yardley family, thus he pretended that the blind
date that day had never happened.
Minerva was very happy with the oue, thus she didn''t even reply to his message either.
During dinner time, Quill asked about the date. Minerva smiled and said, "I don''t think we are
suitable for each other."
Quill did not seem to be surprised at all. He said indifferently, "Then, let''s find you another date."
"Quill!" Minerva frowned unhappily. "Are you trying to sell me off? Just because you are not satisfied
with one person, you are going to look for a recement right away, aren''t you?"
"Isn''t blind dating like this? If you are not pleased with one, you can always choose another. This is
just a very normal thing," Quill spoke indifferently.
Minerva recalled the time when Maddox had messed up the blind date. Judging by his character,
the uing blind dates wouldn''t be sessful either. It seemed like that man wouldn''t give up so
easily.
Thinking of this, Minerva said, "Forget it. Don''t arrange any more blind dates. I''ll handle this matter
on my own."
Quill frowned. "Can you? I have not seen you interact with anyone in thest five years. Do you
remember how many people you have rejected when you were abroad? Besides, they were all so
outstanding..."
"Quill!" Minerva cut him off directly. "Either way, I don''t want to go on blind dates anymore. You are
my brother. Why don''t you go on blind dates yourself? Otherwise, don''t ever ask me to go on blind
dates again."
Minerva was feeling a little angry, thus she got up and left after she finished speaking.
Quill was speechless.
Nash, who was witnessing this from the side, smiled awkwardly. He eased the atmosphere by
saying, "Miss Minerva''s temper is still like a child''s."
Quill frowned slightly upon hearing Nash''s words. In a deep voice, he replied, "She''s no longer a
child."
Nashforted him, "Sir, Miss Minerva is your younger sister after all. It''s inevitable that she will
throw a childish tantrum in front of her family."
These words seemed to be quite reasonable.
After a moment of silence, Quill seemed to have thought of something.
"It seems that I have never revealed her identity in public before, haven''t I?"
Nash first hesitated for a moment before replying, "Sir, it seems that you have forgotten. Back then
when you returned, you suggested holding a banquet to publicly announce Miss Minerva''s identity.
However, she felt that it was a little too extravagant, thus she rejected your idea."
"Then, let''s just do it now."
Nash was a little surprised. "What?"
"Since she doesn''t want to go on blind dates, then let''s announce her identity publicly. Let''s show
them that the Hanover family is not short of pursuers."
Nash paused for a moment. "Should I inform Miss Minerva about this?"
"There''s no need." Quill''s eyes darkened slightly and his voice was indifferent. "I''ll call her over
during the banquet. She will not be able to refuse even if she wants to."
Quill seemed to have thought of something as a cold glint shed across his eyes. "Maddox
Yardley, how dare you try rekindling your feelings for Minerva after you''ve done so much harm to
her back then ? Nevertheless, you must first obtain my approval as her brother."
Nash also knew about this matter. After all, he was with the Hanover family for a long time.
Moreover, he had often been by Quill''s side. When Minerva went abroad, he had followed Quill to
many ces and dealt with many affairs.
The divorce was one of them. Hence, Quill naturally knew that a lot of people didn''t know about it.
Including the rtionship between Minerva and Maddox.
"Sir, wouldn''t Miss Minerva be unhappy with this?"
"In the future, she will realize that I''m doing this for her own good."
How could Quill let an outsider bully Minerva, whom he had worked so hard to find?
If anyone bullied Minerva, he would make them pay for what they had done by a hundred folds.
However, the person was Maddox and Quill had always found him difficult to deal with. This was
because hispany was more powerful than his. Maddox could easily solve matters which Quill
had to work hard for over the years.
The words "brother- in-w" from that day made Quill feel resentful until that very moment.
He had no choice but to find the best person for Minerva.
Just as Quill suggested, the banquet was organized. With arge number of workers, the process of
organizing it was much quicker. Moreover, the banquet was held in the garden of the Hanover
family home.
Minerva and Beanie lived in their own apartment, thus they didn''t know what was going on there.
Nheless, Minerva had spent the past few days quite happily as Maddox didn''t bother her.
Perhaps, it was because he had taken into consideration what she had said that day.
Furthermore, Kelly had also begun with the designing.
Therefore, Minerva thought that she and Maddox would never meet again in the future.
At the same time, thepany came up with a new design. Minerva wanted to allocate some time
to carry out some publicity. The effect of having a superstar to advertise it was quite good. Recently,
thepany had continuously received a lot of orders.
The employees in thepany were also busy. Previously, there were people who were cking,
but this time, none of them had the time to think about other matters.
Minerva treated her subordinates very well. She promised that as long as the design products were
well- received by the customers, they would be able to enjoy a 5% bonus. Everyone was naturally
interested in such a good deal.

It could be considered that thepany''s operation had returned to its normal efficiency, which was
good.
However, after getting off work that day, Minerva suddenly received Quill''s message, asking her to
go back to the Hanover family home that night.
Minerva asked him what was the matter, but he didn''t give any details. Hence, she could only agree
to head back.
After hanging up the phone, Minerva and Vera intended to pick up Beanie and send him home.
However, the teacher told them that Quill had already picked up Beanie in advance.
After ncing at each other, Vera couldn''t help saying, "What the hell is going on? Why did he
suddenly send Beanie back? This is so suspicious."
