Chapter 593


    It had been a while since Minerva hadst seen Benedict.


    Minerva didn''t expect this to happen. She looked at the gentle face from afar. The faint smile in his


    eyes stirred her emotions.


    She pursed her lips and walked over to him.


    Whether it was five years ago or five yearster, Benedict had always been gentle and caring.


    As soon as she approached, he had already pulled the chair out for her. He said softly, "Have a


    seat."


    "Thank you."


    After thanking him, Han Minerva sat down.


    The waiter came over and asked what they wanted to have before leaving with the menu.


    Benedict looked at her and started speaking in a soft tone.


    "I thought that you didn''t want to see me anymore."


    Minerva paused for a moment. Looking at his elegant demeanor, she thought of what he had done


    in private and felt that it was

    ironic. She smirked and teased, "Even if I didn''t meet you today, you would''ve still been able to


    force me to contact you. Isn''t that right, Mr. Benedict?"


    When he heard her refer to him as "Mr. Benedict", his smile froze. He looked at Minerva helplessly.


    "Why? Why are you so hostile to me? What have I done wrong?"


    "Hostile?"


    Minerva smiled and returned, "Why would you think I am being hostile?"


    "If that''s not the case, why won''t you acknowledge me as your friend? Why would you refer to me


    as Mr. Benedict?"


    Minerva looked at him and said nothing.


    Neither of them had a smile on their faces.


    Benedict looked at her for a while but he was defeated helplessly. He sighed and said, "Kimberly,


    don''t treat me like this. I told you that I meant no harm."


    "Then what do you want?" Minerva''s gaze was fixed on him. "If you didn''t have any ill intentions,


    shouldn''t you have done nothing? Justin and that contract, it was all nned by you, right?"


    Upon hearing this, Benedict sighed heavily again.


    "It seems that in your eyes, your brother-inw is just a bad guy."


    Brother-inw...


    This term sounded so distant. Minerva was startled for a moment, and then corrected him coldly,


    "Maddox and I are no longer a couple. You''re no longer my brother-inw." "You''re finally admitting


    it." Benedict smiled. "Five years ago, I didn''t want you to call me your brother-inw. Now, you''re not


    willing to call me that. Why do I feel even worse now?"


    Minerva didn''t say a word.


    "To be honest, I didn''t know that Justin had approached you about coborating. I only found out


    about that after he reported it to me."


    Benedict''s words were extremely sincere and his tone was serious. He did not look like he was lying


    but Minerva was not too willing to believe him.


    Could there be such coincidence? That he had only found out when Justin reported it to him?


    If that was the case, why did Justin treat her differently?


    Of course, she didn''t mention this. Benedict smiled and continued, "Well, since we are here, let''s


    not mention these unhappy things.


    I am very happy that you are willing to see me today."


    Minerva pressed her lips together and did not reply.


    "I would prefer if you called me by my name instead of Mr. Benedict."


    "Call him by his name?" Minerva thought and frowned. "Mr. Benedict, I think that it''s inappropriate.


    To be honest, I have only one purpose foring here today."


    "I know." Benedict smiled slightly. "You want to void the contract."


    Minerva paused. She looked up at him and said, "It seems that you know everything."


    "Kimberly..."


    "Mr. Benedict." Minerva could not help but interrupt him. She held back the anger in her heart. "My


    name is Minerva Hanover. You can call me by my full name or Miss Hanover."


    Benedict looked at her with a calm expression. The warm smile on his face did not disappear. After


    a while, he called out in a soft voice.


    "Okay, Minerva."


    Minerva didn''t say a word.


    Could he not understand what she was saying?


    She had told him to refer to her in her full name, not just Minerva!


    "The contract has already been signed so it''s impossible to cancel it. I know what you''re thinking,


    but it''s rted to the interests of yourpany."


    Hearing this, Han Minerva was a little angry.


    Benedict smiled gently again.


    "What''s more, I didn''t hide my identity. Minerva, it''s your mistake this time."


    Minerva gritted her teeth but she couldn''t say anything. He was right. Benedict didn''t hide his


    identity deliberately. If Vera had been more careful, she would have known who was in charge of


    Blue Sky Company.


    In the end, she was the one to me.


    She took a deep breath but couldn''t say anything.


    "Minerva, I really don''t mean any harm."


    "Benedict Yardley." Minerva raised her head to look at him. For the first time, she called out his


    name. "I don''t care about what had happened between you and Maddox. However, I do not want to


    be the sacrificialmb in the battle between the two of you."


    "Battle? Sacrificialmb?" Benedict couldn''t help but frown. "Who told you that? Is that what you


    think?"


    "What else could it be? Do you really think that I''m a child? How could I easily believe what you just


    said?"


    "Minerva, are you saying that you don''t have confidence in thepany that you own? Do you think


    yourpany''s not good enough to make the upper echelons of Blue Sky Company want to


    cooperate with you?"


    Upon hearing this, Minerva was surprised.


    Benedict was really an expert atmunication.


    He could gradually lead you on so that you didn''t have the ability to refute at all.


    Just like how he had settled the 300 thousand dor debt back then. Even though Minerva had


    asked Quill to return the money, what happenedter on... It was impossible for her to reject him.


    "Be more confident."


    Benedict smiled and stretched out his hand to rub her head.


    This action was the same as before.


    Minerva looked at his hand in a daze.


    "Okay?"


    Minerva came back to her senses. She tilted her head back and looked at him with a frown.


    Benedict looked at her with a harmless smile. She couldn''t even lose her temper.


    However, the more he acted this way, the more angry she felt. It was as if something was burning


    inside of her and she couldn''t let it out. She felt extremely ufortable.


    She gritted her teeth and said in a harsh tone, "I don''t believe that you weren''t behind what


    happened five years ago."


    Benedict froze for a second and asked, "What happened?"


    "Mr. Benedict, you''re so forgetful. Don''t you remember your own y?"
