Chapter 598
Thinking of this, Minerva scrolled through her contact list. However, she realized that there was not
a single person she could call.
She could not call Quill. Once he found out what had happened to her recently, he would forcefully
bring her back to the Hanover home to live with him.
If she called Vera, she wouldn''t know what to do and probably would end up asking Quill for help.
Calling Vera would be the same as calling Quill.
Who else could she call? Should she ask Maddox for help?
Minerva biting her lower lip in a dilemma.
All of a sudden, her cell phone rang.
Minerva took a look; it was Maddox calling her.
Why was he calling her?
Could it really be like what he said, that their hearts were aligned?
At the thought of it, Minerva trembled as she answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Go to ces with surveince cameras. Avoid blind spots and narrow paths." Maddox''s deep voice
transmitted into Minerva''s ears like an electric current.
Minerva held her breath, thinking whether she heard him wrongly. Her lips trembled slightly. How did
Maddox know that she was being followed? Where was he hiding?
Thinking of this, Minerva wanted to turn her head to take a look.
Maddox ordered quickly.
"Don''t look back."
Minerva was frozen in her tracks.
"Do as I say."
When Minerva found out that she was being followed, it would be a lie if she wasn''t afraid. After
everything that had happened, it was obvious that whoever was behind this held a deep grudge
against her. It was likely that she had been followed around for the past few days already.
After all, she had been with Maddox for most of the time. The moment they were separated, she
was being followed. What did it mean?
After hearing Maddox''s instructions, she finally calmed down.
"Stop the car on the right. Turn to the other intersectionter."
Minerva didn''t reply. She only nodded and followed Maddox''s instructions.
She did not say anything but nodded. Somehow, she thought that he would be able to see it.
Maddox frowned and said, "Answer me."
Minerva replied, "What''s wrong?"
"When I talk to you, remember to constantly respond."
"Got it."
After a while, Minerva nced at the rearview mirror and noticed that the ck car was still
following her close behind.
She took a deep breath and asked softly.
"What should I do next?"
There was no response from Maddox. The silence was terrifying. Minerva blinked her eyes and
called out in a low voice, "Maddox?"
He was still analyzing the roads, so he did not have time to talk to her. He heard her called out his
name in such a gentle manner.
Instantly, Maddox felt an electric current run through his heart and he felt numb.
He had aplicated expression as he pursed his thin lips. When they were in bed, why didn''t she
talk to him like this? If she did, then he...
Maddox''s throat tightened when he recalled the scenes from earlier. He looked at the space
between his legs, pinched the throbbing spot between his eyebrows and said softly, "I''m here."
Hearing his reply, Minerva could not help but bite her lower lip andin.
"Why didn''t you respond?"
He just told her to respond to him at all times, but why didn''t he follow the rule?
"Hah." From the earphones came Maddox''s softughter. "Are you scared? Hmm?"
She bit her lower lip but did not answer him.
She had yet to recover from the shock and had long forgotten the argument she had with him
earlier.
"Do you see the traffic light in front of you?" He asked
"Yes," she replied.
Minerva nodded. "Yes, I see it."
"Slow down now."
Minerva followed his instructions. "And then?"
"Wait."
Wait? What was she waiting for? Minerva looked up at the timer of the traffic light and after thinking
for a while, she suddenly came to her senses.
"I see."
Maddox could not help but smile when he heard that.
"It seems that you already know what to do."
Minerva could roughly guess. She said, "I don''t know the precise timing. Do you?"
"Yes, slow down first. Your speed is just right. Ten secondster, step on the gas."
"I see."
Minerva drove the car slowly. As she focused on maintaining the current speed of the car, she
silently counted down.
Just a second before the traffic lights turned red, Minerva took a deep breath and mmed hard on
the elerator.
The slow- moving car had suddenly rushed out like an arrow.
The car behind did not expect Minerva''s car to elerate suddenly. When the person reacted, he
quickly shouted, "We need to catch up!"
This time, the traffic light turned red and there was a car blocking them.
"F*ck!" The driver couldn''t help but curse while hitting the steering wheel with his fist. "We''ve been
set up!"

"What''s going on? What happened?" The person from the back seat came up and said, "I thought
you''ve been following her the whole time. Why did she suddenly speed up?"
The driver red at the car, then the red light in front of him. He gritted his teeth and said angrily,
"She must have found out, which was why she slowed down and nned her timing against the
traffic light. We''ve fallen for it."
After listening to the exnation, he suddenly realized something.
"F*ck, is she that capable? I thought she didn''t notice us all this while. How did she find out? What
should we do then?"
"What else can we do? We''ll go after her when the lights turn green. She''s just a woman. Let''s see
where she''ll be hiding."
While they were discussing, someone knocked on the car window a few times.
Knock, knock...
"Who is it?" The driver lowered down the window and asked.
Outside the window stood a man with a cold expression. It was Sam, who had been called over by
Maddox.
"You''re the one, aren''t you?" Sam helplessly nced at them. "Why did you choose to do this line of
work?"
"What do you mean?" The driver nced at the person behind him. He immediately said, "Let''s go."
Sam said, "That won''t happen, you''ve already been surrounded."
Minerva had entered a safe zone and sessfully avoided those people. It just so happened that
she lured them into Sam''s trap.
"Come with me. Let''s have a good talk about what happened this time."
They looked at each other with their ashen faces.
