Chapter 709


    "Alright." Minerva nodded and put down the hem of the wedding dress in her hand. "Then, I''ll stay


    here and wait, or... Shall we go straight to the hall and wait for him there?"


    Quill raised his hand and nced at the time on his wristwatch. He whispered, "It''s not time yet. If


    he hasn''t shown upter, I''ll take you to the hall, but..."


    He paused when he spoke until this point. He seemed to be a little hesitant in whether or not he


    should finish the rest of his sentence.


    "But what?" Naturally, Minerva could hear the hesitation in his tone. She raised her head and


    nced at him.


    Although there was no expression on his face, his gaze seemed very deep. It could be seen that he


    was not in a good mood currently.


    His expression becameplicated when he saw Minerva asking him this question. He lowered his


    voice and asked, "Are you sure if he doesn''t appear on time, you are going to wait for him in the


    hall?"


    She questioned, "Why not?'' "The hall is packed with guests. If... he doesn''t even show up in the


    hall, then you..."


    He wanted to say that she would be embarrassed by that time. After all, she was still ady.


    "Quill."


    However, before he could finish her words, he was interrupted by her.


    Minerva stared at him, and her red lips gradually parted into a smile. Her voice was calm.


    "As I said, I give him all my trust. He didn''t tell me that he wouldn''t show up, so I am going to wait


    for him."


    Quill was speechless.


    Looking at Minerva, he didn''t know what to say. In fact, as her elder brother, he couldn''t make too


    many decisions for her. Now that she had made up her mind, he had nothing else to say.


    He could only nod while putting on a smile. "Since you''ve made up your mind, then I''ll listen to you."


    "Thank you, Quill."


    As time passed by, it was still quite a distance from the wedding venue to the airport. It was toote


    for Juliette when she finally arrived at the airport.


    They had set out from the hotel to the hall, and Minerva called Maddox again, but once again, she


    was directed to his voicemail again.


    Although she went to his voicemail countless times, she still kept calling him like a machine.


    Vera started to tear up upon seeing this.


    She looked out of the window and dared not look at her anymore.


    In fact, she always knew that Minerva was a stubborn person. She was not the kind of person who


    would go back on her word. As long as she believed in it, she was going to do it by hook or by


    crook.


    As her close friend, she had to stand by her side no matter what.


    However, now, seeing her in this state, Vera realized that she couldn''t bear seeing this any longer.


    She would rather have Minerva lose her temper instead of acting like she did now.


    When they arrived at the hall, all the rtives and friends were waiting there.


    Because they had nned a grand wedding, there were a ton of reporters and people on the scene.


    When Minerva got out of the car, countless reporters were carrying their cameras and chasing after


    her.


    Quill turned around and asked his assistant, "Is there still no news from Juliette?"


    The assistant looked at his phone and shook his head. "She told me that she was stuck in the traffic


    15 minutes ago. Perhaps Mr. Yardley is also stuck in the traffic."


    He thought, "It''s fine if he was stuck in a traffic jam, but if it''s something else..."


    His eyes grew dim, and the aura around him became gloomy.


    "Maddox, you''d better keep your promise. If you don''t, don''t me him for keeping Minerva away


    from you," he thought.


    The wedding was about to begin, but the groom was nowhere to be found. Only Minerva, who was


    wearing a wedding dress, stood there, looking lonely.


    All the reporters saw what was happening and felt that there was something wrong.


    "What''s going on? Why is there only the bride? We''ve been here for so long. Is it not time for the


    wedding to start yet?"


    "I heard that this wedding is an arranged marriage between the Yardley Corporation and the


    Hanover Corporation of the North City. But... The one from the Yardley Corporation has not shown


    up. Could it be that he didn''t want to get married anymore?


    "Oh, I don''t know... We received a message saying that the wedding is going to be held here today,


    so we hurried over."


    "I heard that Young Master Yardley from the Yardley Corporation is very good-looking. He is usually


    not close to women, but many youngdies wish to be married to him. Could this news be released


    by the Hanover family? Is it what they want?"


    "No, such a thing had been spread out throughout the country for many years. If the Hanover family


    unterally spread the news, the Yardley Corporation would not turn a blind eye to it."


    "What’s going on now?"


    A group of onlookers was throwing their own assumptions.


    Minerva had countless cameras pointed towards her, and the shing lights were blinding her.


    There were a ton of people on the scene, but the only one she cared about was Maddox.


    She didn''t know where he was now. Was there a traffic jam on the way here? Was the flight


    dyed? Did he not get on the flight at all...


    Buzz...


    The phone vibrated, and Minerva''s entire body trembled. She took out the phone that she was


    holding onto tightly for the entire time. She was so anxious that she didn''t even see who was calling,


    and she directly picked up the phone.


    "Maddox, are you going to arrive? A lot of reporters are here. I''m waiting for you in the hall. When


    are you going to..."


    "Minerva, it''s me."


    However, a gentle and clear voice echoed from the other end of the phone.


    The light of hope in Minerva''s eyes gradually dimmed. She hesitated for a while and finally figured


    out whom the voice belonged to.


    Her red lips paused for a while, and then she called out, "Benedict?"

    "You were disappointed by my voice, weren''t you?"


    Minerva was dumbfounded.


    She did not expect him to call her at this time. She had waited so long for Maddox, and she thought


    that it was him...


    Thus, she answered the phone directly before she even looked at who was the one calling.


    "I saw the news. Is the wedding going to be held soon?" "Yes." "I definitely won''t be able to attend


    your wedding in time. Furthermore, Maddox won''t be happy when he sees me. I can only


    congratte you over the phone."


    "Thank you."


    She was in a bad mood now, so naturally, she wasn''t in the mood to talk to him.


    Benedict probably knew that she didn''t even want to talk to him, so he gave a wry smile.


    "Well, then I won''t bother you anymore. You must be happy."


    As Minerva hung up the phone, Juliette''s assistant, Tracy''s phone rang.


    "Juliette?"


    "What? I know!"


    After Tracy hung up the phone, she immediately reported to Quill, "President Hanover, Juliette just


    called to say that Mr. Yardley''s ne is in trouble!"
