Chapter 723


    Sylvia believed that she was the one fated to be with Maddox.


    The Yardley Corporation was very wealthy. Back then, she utilized her identity to investigate


    Maddox thoroughly, and found out that he and his brother, Benedict, were on bad terms. She had


    even found out some of the Yardley family''s secrets.


    Thus, she felt as though she was the most suitable one for Maddox.


    As a result, when he saw through her schemes, she unabashedly held onto his arm and told him,


    "I''m a better fit for you than Kimberly. You went back to the Yardley family because you want power,


    right? I''ll give you power! If you get together with me, I will give you the entire Hanover family. At


    that time, the Yardley family will be in your hands entirely. I can even help you get rid of Benedict!"


    To her, it was a given that men only prioritized power and their careers.


    Between her, and that Kimberly who was pregnant with another man''s child, Maddox would


    definitely choose her.


    However, she was wrong. After her outburst, Maddoxughed mockingly and pushed her away. She


    took a step back and fell onto the cold floor. She looked at him incredulously.


    "You don''t want it? Why? Don''t you want to control the entire Yardley family? Don''t you want


    revenge?"


    His gaze waspletely devoid of warmth, it was as if he was looking at a corpse. "Have you


    overestimated yourself or have you underestimated me? I''m determined to get my hands on the


    Yardley family, but I won''t rely on any woman to do so. That insignificant power the Hanover family


    holds means nothing to me."


    Insane!


    Extremely arrogant!


    The Sylvia back then had already epted reality. Maddox rejected her helppletely. Even


    knowing that he was not interested in her, she was still obsessed with him.


    Indifferent, decisive, and resolute.


    Although she knew that he had no feelings for her, she still loved him.


    Hence, she was considerate; she didn''t care how Maddox treated her. However, before she could


    make her move, her true identity was discovered.


    Soon after, she was kicked out of the Hanover family and lost her prestige, forced to wander the


    streets.


    In light of her previous friendship with Kimberly, Quill agreed to not make a police report, but on the


    condition that she could not take anything the Hanover family had given her.


    Sylvia lost everything, and had nowhere else to go. In the end... She could only return to that


    gambling father of hers.


    Sure enough, as soon as she returned home, she was beaten to a pulp. Even then, she was not


    sent to the hospital for treatment.


    Later... Sylvia didn''t dare stay in that home a second longer. She had nowhere else to go, so she


    had to go out to find a job. Because she was used to living a carefree life in the Hanover family, she


    was unfit for many jobs. Either that, or the jobs were too exhausting, or required her getting her


    hands dirty. Hence, she had been fired countless times.


    In the end, she didn''t even earn a single penny. Instead, her father''s creditors came knocking on her


    door and they dragged her into a bar...


    The past was too terrible to recall. Sylvia felt as if life was worse than death.


    To her, the reason she fell to such a state was because of Kimberly. She must have been jealous


    because she had snatched Maddox away, thus she wanted revenge and robbed her of identity,


    causing her to stoop... to this level...


    Whenever Sylvia thought about it, her eyes watered.


    Now, seeing that Kimberly had lost Maddox, Sylvia felt great. These were the consequences of


    hurting her.


    It was such a pity. Maddox...


    She touched the man''s handsome face in the photo and smiled softly.


    "If only I was the one you chose, how wonderful would things be? Such a thing wouldn''t have


    happened."


    On the other end.


    Benedict was signing a piece of paper when he learned about the new. His grip intensified. "What


    did you say? Did something happen to Maddox?"


    The man nodded with a devious look. "Young Master Benedict, I have sent someone to inquire


    about it. I heard that the sea that Young Master Yardley fell into is extremely turbulent. We haven''t


    found him yet. Except for the survivors who were found on the first day, they only found corpses


    after the thunderstorm that night. I think Young Master Yardley is also..."


    Before he could finish his words, Benedict suddenly shot up and grabbed his cor.


    "Where is Minerva? Is she okay?"


    The man, whose cor was being grabbed, was taken aback. "Mr. Benedict..."


    "Speak. What about Minerva? Was she on the same flight as him? How is she doing now?"

    D*mn it!


    Benedict''s expression turned into something terrifying. At that moment, he resembled an angry


    demon. His whole body exuded a horrible aura as if he was a messenger of hell itself.


    "Mr. Benedict... Calm down! I''m suffocating."


    "Speak!"


    "Miss Hanover is fine!" The man almost rolled his eyes at him. He said that in the nick of time.


    Sure enough, when Benedict heard that she was fine, his gaze shifted and his grip on the man''s


    cor loosened a little.


    "She''s alright?"


    "Yes. She wasn''t on that ne."


    Benedict breathed a sigh of relief and let go. The man took several steps back and regained a


    steady bnce. He gasped and continued, "Mr. Benedict, don''t worry. Only Maddox was on that


    ne. He''s probably dead now."


    Was he dead?


    Benedict was unmoved by Maddox''s death. As long as Minerva was fine, everything was well and


    good. Nothing else was important to him.


    "Young Master Benedict, if Maddox dies, it will affect the Yardley Corporation greatly. The board of


    directors will have lost their leader and they''ll turn to you."


    However, Benedict did not reply. He pressed his lips together and took out his phone to call


    Minerva.


    Even though he had been told that she was fine, he knew that she would go mad if she found out


    that Maddox was involved in that crash.


    He was extremely worried about Minerva at present.


    When he called her, he was directed to her voicemail.


    "Why is her phone switched off?" Benedict frowned. While he was pondering it, the man in front of


    him came over again and asked, "Sir, did you listen to what I just said?"


    Upon hearing this, he frowned and raised his head, looking at the man with displeasure.


    "Sir, what I mean is... As long as Maddox dies, now is the best time for you to return to the Yardley


    Corporation."


    "I''m not in a hurry," Benedict said tly.


    For him, the most important thing at that moment was Minerva''s safety.


    However, he couldn''t get through to her. Benedict had no other choice. He ordered the man,


    "Immediately send someone to check on Minerva. Where did she go after the crash? How is she


    doing now?"


    "Mr. Benedict?"


    The man''s eyes widened in shock. "Is now really the time to do these things? If you don''t take the


    opportunity to return to the Yardley Corporation at this time, then in the future..."


    "Just do whatever I ask you to do." Benedict was gritting his teeth as he spoke.
