Chapter 617


    When she got closer, Sylvia finally saw the side of the man''s face in front of her. Although it was just


    his side profile, she could see his sharp eyes and facial features clearly.


    Sylvia was shocked. Her hands trembled and the tes in her hand almost slipped out.


    How could it be Maddox?


    Could it be that he was the handsome man whom ine and Sandra were talking about? Didn''t


    they just meet a few days ago? Why did hee again that day?


    Could it be that he did not want her to stay there any longer?


    Thinking of this, Sylvia''s face turned pale. When she thought of running away, she heard a familiar


    voice.


    "Sylvia?"


    Sylvia was rooted to the spot. She slowly raised her head and turned to the source of the voice.


    A beautiful face appeared in front of her.


    Sylvia''s face was pale as paper. The te in her hand fell onto the ground.


    Thud!


    The steak was wasted. When the sauce sshed out, some of it sshed onto Sylvia''s clothes, as


    well as her face and neck.


    Minerva was seated far away from Maddox, so she wasn''t hurt by ident.


    However, the moment the tended on the ground, Maddox quickly got up and stood in front of


    Minerva.


    Compared to the fact that Han Minerva was being protected, Sylvia looked even worse off.


    "Are you alright?" Maddox turned his head and asked.


    Minerva looked at him oddly. He had rushed over the moment something happened. He had


    blocked all of the filth for her. How could anything happen to her?


    Even if he didn''t block it for her, it wouldn''t have reached her.


    Minerva shook her head.


    Watching this scene caused Sylvia''s heart to be filled with grief.


    Five years ago, she was the high and mighty daughter of the Hanover family, while Minerva was just


    an unloved daughter of the Shell family.


    Five yearster, the situation had changed.


    Sylvia was the one who was down and out.

    Sylvia hated Minerva, but at the same time, she did not dare to meet her.


    She really didn''t want Minerva to see her current state.


    As she thought of this, Sylvia turned around and prepared to leave.


    Seeing that she was about to leave, Minerva stood up and called out to her.


    "Sylvia, did you tamper with the delivery and takeout?"


    Ever since Maddox had told her the day before that she would be disappointed after finding out who


    this person was, Minerva''s mind was filled someone''s face. However, she didn''t want to wrongly


    use others.


    Now that he had seen her, she realized that the face in front of her and the one he had been


    thinking the previous day was the same.


    Sylvia...


    They used to be such good friends five years ago, but now...


    Sylvia originally wanted to run away. After all, she didn''t want to beughed at. However, Minerva''s


    words made her stop. She didn''t look back but just stood there.


    "Why?" Minerva looked at her back and asked.


    She did not know what she had done wrong. Why did Sylvia change so drastically. She had even


    tried tomit suicide in front of her.


    Sylvia was triggered by Minerva''s question. She turned around suddenly and sneered at her.


    "Why? Don''t you know why I''m targeting you? Miss Hanover, what are you trying to do now? Are


    you here to make fun of me? Do you want to embarrass me?" Sylvia nced at Maddox and


    returned her vicious gaze to Minerva.


    "You even brought someone here to back you up? You want to see how embarrassed I am, but


    unfortunately, it''s impossible."


    After saying that, Sylvia straightened her back and looked at Minerva with hatred in her eyes.


    The hatred was so dense that it seemed to seep out of her eyes. Minerva simply could not believe


    it. Her lips moved, but she was unable to utter a single word.


    "Back then... It was clear that you had done something that wronged me."


    "How could she be so self-righteous now?" Minerva thought. She looked sideways at Maddox and


    stated, "I want to talk to her in private."


    Just as Maddox was about to refuse, Sylvia shouted, "Who wants to talk to you alone? Now that


    you are Miss Hanover, I have nothing to say to you. Also, the two of you, please leave. We won''t


    serve you today."


    After saying that, Sylvia turned around and left, leaving Minerva with a view of her back.


    Minerva''s expression fell. She bit her lower lip and tried to chase after her.


    Maddox grabbed hold of her wrist and said, "Don''t go after her."


    "But..."


    "Didn''t youe today just to see who it was? Don''t tell me that you''re here to catch up on old


    times with her."


    Upon hearing this, Minerva instantly fell silent. She slowly lowered her head and was brought out of


    the restaurant by him.


    After getting in the car, she was in a daze and even forgot to fasten her seat belt.


    In the end, Maddox had to fasten her seatbelt.


    Minerva was lost in her thoughts.


    She didn''t expect to see Sylvia again, especially under such circumstances.


    Sylvia had used her identity in the past. Now that she was no longer a member of the Hanover


    family, had she returned to that gambling addict father of hers?


    Was she working in the restaurant while dressed like that?


    Minerva remembered the low-cor, miniskirt, and ck stockings on Sylvia''s body.


    Thinking of this, she closed her eyes. Her mind was in a mess.


    Why? Why had Sylvia be like this?


    Minerva knew that back then, Sylvia went behind her back to get close to Maddox. Even though


    Minerva had severed ties with her, when she saw how she was just now, she still felt sad.


    After all, they were once good friends.


    In the past, Sylvia had been really nice to her.


    "Don''t overthink it. It''s her own fault for ending up like this."


    Suddenly, a cold voice rang out. Minerva regained her senses and opened her eyes.


    She saw that the car had stopped at the red light, while Maddox turned his head and stared at her.


    "It''s her own fault?"


    "Do you feel bad seeing her down and out now?" Maddox asked.


    Minerva didn''t answer, but there was no doubt that she was feeling sad deep inside.


    "Why don''t you think about what Sylvia had done to you? She followed you and even scared you


    twice."


    "But..."


    "But what? Are yourgehearted?" Maddox''s gaze became sharp as he looked at her dangerously.


    "Did you know how she became a member of the Hanover family?"


    These words were like a head- on blow to Minerva. The uncertainty in her heart dissipated in an


    instant.


    Yes, back then, Sylvia had gotten close with Minerva deliberately. Sylvia treated her well because


    she had other ideas. She stole Minerva''s identity and felt guilty because of that. That was why she


    was nice to Minerva. She was trying to make up for her sins.
