Chapter 540


    "Hidalgo? It''s impossible for me to go there in theseing years. Why don''t youe to


    Earlington if you have the chance?"


    Maddox was in a good mood and nodded.


    "Absolutely."


    "Remember to bring your lover along with you."


    These words were so pleasing to the ears, thus Maddox agreed with him immediately.


    "You are so easy to talk to today."


    The designer seemed to think that Maddox was easy to talk to, thus he wanted to ask him for more


    favors. However, Maddox had already hung up the phone.


    After hanging up, Maddox took out his phone and adjusted the angle. He was about to sneak a few


    photos and keep them. However, just as he took out his phone, he noticed that a group of people


    were also taking pictures of Minerva with their phones.


    Maddox frowned and his aura suddenly became cold.


    Did he make a mistake?


    If she wore the most luxurious gown, wouldn''t she be the focus of the banquet?


    Moreover, although it was a banquet to announce Minerva''s identity to the public that day, Quill had


    definitely held it in order to gain suitors for her.


    Humph, that''s Quill''s n.


    Maddox was no longer in the mood to take photos. He put away his phone and stared at the people


    around him unhappily.


    He stood beside three single men from noble families who were invited to the banquet. After all, this


    kind of banquet would give them more opportunities to meet other upper-ss people, which would


    be helpful to their careers.

    To them, getting to know women was secondary to their main purpose.


    However, when they saw Minerva, they couldn''t help but be tempted. They took pictures while


    smiling.


    "President Hanover is really something. He actually hid his beautiful sister until now." One of them


    said with a smile after taking countless photos of Minerva.


    The person beside himughed and continued, "That''s right. If I have such a pretty sister, I will hide


    her too. After all, you are all like a pack of wolves. She would definitely be taken by the likes of you


    if she was not hidden well."


    "We are all the same. What are you talking about?"


    "I heard that most of the invited guests this time are single men. Can you guess what President


    Hanover''s intention is?"


    "What else can it be? Hadn''t he given her a makeover and introduced her to everyone? But isn''t it


    strange that such a beautiful woman doesn''t have a partner? She even needs her brother to give


    her a helping hand in finding a suitor."


    "What do you know? President Hanover has been hiding and holding this sister of his in high


    regard. Naturally, it is not easy to attract the eyes of ordinary people. I am afraid that most of the


    people here today are just ornaments, including us."


    The person who had just been insulted felt dissatisfied and rebutted directly, "What ornament?


    Although the Hanover family holds a high position in North City, if we are just ornaments, then only


    President Yardley of the Yardley family could attract President Hanover''s attention."


    Maddox, whose name had been mentioned, harrumphed coldly in his heart.


    "At least you are aware of it."


    Yet, his face changed in the next second, because someone retorted.


    "I don''t think so. Yardley Corporation and Hanover Corporation have fought many times over the


    years. People who don''t know the truth may think that they have a personal grudge. We may not be


    ornaments and there''s still a chance. As far as I know, President Hanover''s sister is an abandoned


    woman."


    Abandoned woman...


    Maddox narrowed his eyes and stared darkly at the person who had spoken.


    "You don''t know, do you? This woman had been married before, but I heard that she was dumped...


    Ouch..." Before he could finish his words, his cor was grabbed by someone unexpectedly. The


    people next to him were shocked as they witnessed this scene in surprise.


    "Who are you? What are you doing?"


    Maddox grabbed the man''s cor, as if he was looking at a dead man.


    "How daring of you. I dare you to repeat what you just said."


    The wordsing out of his thin lips were so cold that it made people shiver from fear.


    "I... I...". The man couldn''t let out a word for a long time. Looking at the man in front who was


    emitting a cold aura, he felt that he looked vaguely familiar, but... He couldn''t recall where he had


    seen him before.


    "I''m sorry, but did my friend say something wrong to offend you?" When the man''s friends noticed


    that Maddox''s disposition was extraordinary and that he was not one to be trifled with, they blurted


    out immediately.


    Maddox''s lips curled up slightly. There was a hint of bloodlust in his smile.


    "If I hear you talk about her in the future, don''t me me when I wipe out yourpany."


    His words made everyone''s face change.


    How dare he be so arrogant?


    There weren''t many people in North City who would dare to say such things in front of other


    companies, other than...


    One of the men''s eyes shed as if he had realized something. He quickly apologized, "I''m sorry,


    sir. We''ll be cautious in our words and deeds in the future. We won''t say anything unfavorable


    towards Miss Hanover ever again."


    After that, he nced at Maddox and the hands that were grabbing his friend''s cor. He pleaded,


    "Sir, please let go of your hand.


    My friend just has a bad habit of running his mouth."


    Maddox nced at the person who spoke and then at the person in front of him. When he saw that


    the person''s expression had changed and he dared not utter a single word, heughed coldly and


    let go of his hand.


    "Get lost."


    "Yes, immediately."


    The few of them quickly picked up their stuff and quietly left the banquet.


    The man whose cor was grabbed was still in shock even after he left.


    "F*ck, what''s wrong with that man? How dare he grab my cor? Does he want to die?"


    "I think it''s you who wants to die! Do you know who he is?"


    "Who is he?"


    "If I''m not mistaken, he''s probably from the Yardley Corporation in North City that you just


    mentioned."


    "The Yardley Corporation in North City?"


    The man was shocked. "How is that possible? That man was wearing a mask. I was still wondering


    why he didn''t dare to reveal his real face and that he appeared at such a banquet with a mask..."


    "Don''t talk nonsense. Let''s go. You''ve provoked the Yardley Corporation... Not to mention Miss


    Hanover. You may not even have ess to get ordinary girls in the future."


    The name Yardley Corporation itself was really frightening. Although they were not happy with it,


    what could they do?


    They were inferior, therefore they could only choose to leave in dismay.


    This small collision didn''t cause much of a stir. After all, there were so many people at the party and


    there was music ying at the scene. The people nearby had witnessed such a scene, but once


    those men had walked away and the situation calmed down, they didn''t say anything else.


    However, asionally, there would be some girls who would turn around to secretly observe


    Maddox. Their eyes were filled with adoration.


    On the stage, Minerva had already introduced herself to everyone. Quill said some polite words


    again. Without a doubt, he wanted everyone to think highly of his sister.


    Minerva was quite tired from all these things. The main reason stemmed from her heavy outfit.


    When she noticed that Quill had finished introducing her, she moved close to him and asked in a


    soft voice.


    "Quill, since I''m done with the introductions, can I go backstage to take off this gown first?"
