Chapter 740


    When the meeting started, Minerva Hanover handed over the documents to Sam Sorrento.


    As it was inconvenient for her to hold it by herself. Sam was not willing to go back to recuperate so


    she just let him follow her.


    She could ask someone to send him to the hospital to have a good rest after they settled the matter.


    In the meeting room.


    Everyone knew Minerva. After all, what happened between Maddox and her had caused a


    sensation. Moreover, her status was not low. She was a famous designer and also the daughter of


    the Hanover Corporation.


    Everyone was a little surprised when they saw her as no one thought that she would attend this


    meeting.


    "What''s going on? Isn''t that Minerva from the Hanover Corporation? Why is she here?"


    Several people whispered to each other.


    "I''m not sure. What is she doing here?"


    One of them stood in front of Minerva.


    "It''s the Yardley Corporation''s internal meeting today. I''m afraid it''s not appropriate for you to be


    here."


    Minerva stopped and looked at him.


    "Why isn''t it appropriate for me toe here?" Minerva asked.


    "You..." He looked at Minerva with aplicated expression in his eyes. "Although everyone knows


    about your rtionship with Maddox, you''re neither a top executive of the Yardley Corporation, nor


    an employee of the Yardley Corporation. Therefore, you''re just an outsider to the Yardley


    Corporation."


    "Since you''re an outsider, you''re not qualified to attend our internal meeting."


    "Get her out of here! An outsider wants to attend the meeting of the Yardley Corporation?" A


    dignified voice suddenly sounded from the entrance and everyone looked towards the source of the


    sound.


    An old man sitting in a wheelchair was pushed in. Although he was old, there was a sharp light in


    his eyes and his skinny appearance made him look fierce.


    Sam, who stood behind Minerva, was shocked. He was Old Master Yardley.

    Benedict Yardley was the one who was pushing the wheelchair.


    As Old Master Yardley was pushed through the door, Benedict''s gaze turned towards Minerva. Both


    of them looked at each other. He could sense the mocking and disappointment in Minerva''s eyes.


    Was she disappointed?


    Benedict''s fingers twitched and his thin lips were tightly pursed.


    Does she.... have expectations for him? Otherwise, why would she be disappointed?


    "Well, so what if she felt disappointed? I had to do it anyway," he thought.


    After he seeded thepany and Maddox had passed away, he would find a way to make her


    love him.


    Old Master Yardley still had dignity. A few security guards followed his order and walked towards


    Minerva.


    Sam''s face changed when he saw this. He endured the pain on his face and shouted, "How dare


    you! This is Young Madam Yardley. Who dares to do it?"


    Everyone knew how long Sam had stayed by Maddox''s side.


    When they saw that he was protecting Minerva even with a face full of wounds, they could not help


    but felt sorry for him. The guards did not dare toe forward anymore.


    Old master Yardley said sternly, "Sam! In your opinion, Young Madam Yardley is more precious than


    me?"


    "Old Master Yardley, I didn''t say that. But you asked these security guards to get Young Madam out


    of here. Do you think that they are more precious than Young Madam?" Asked Sam.


    Old Master Yardley, "You!"


    He was so angry that his face turned red.


    Although Sam''s face was injured, he felt proud for following behind Young Master Yardley for such a


    long time. He had learned the sharp tongue from Young Master Yardley.


    "Grandpa, don''t be angry." Benedict lowered his head and said something to Old Master Yardley.


    He gently patted his chest to help him catch his breath.


    After a while, Old Master Yardley raised his head again and looked at Minerva with shrewd eyes.


    "Alright. I will not ask the security guards to get you out. But, you can''t stay here. This is the Yardley


    Corporation''s internal meeting."


    Minerva looked at Old Master Yardley fearlessly with a faint smile. Then, she turned around and


    walked towards the center of the meeting room.


    Seeing this, the crowd could not help but hold their breath.


    That seat...


    It was exclusively for Maddox. Other than Maddox, no one in thepany dared to sit in that


    position.


    Was Young Madam Yardley prepared to sit in the position as Young Master Yardley did in the past?


    While everyone was still specting, Minerva had already sat down. She raised her head and


    looked at the crowd. Her voice was loud and clear.


    "I am Maddox''s wife. Since he is not here, I will represent him to attend the meeting. Since you say


    that it is an important internal meeting, then... It just gave me more reason to attend it. What is the


    content of today''s meeting? Let''s begin."


    She sat there. Her tone and aura was exactly the same as Maddox''s. Albert rk, who used to act


    contrary to Maddox suddenly said, "Alright! You are right! You are Maddox''s wife. Since Maddox


    isn''t here, you should attend this meeting on his behalf. I agree!"


    Then, he sat down first.


    His position was high and he was also a well-known person in thepany. Other than Maddox, he


    held thergest shares in his hand.


    Seeing that he had nodded in agreement, most of the others also sat down one after another to


    show their agreement.


    Almost half of the people sat down while the other half were on Mr. Lowell''s side.


    Mr. Lowell pped his hands and looked at Minerva with a sly smile on his face.


    "Albert, you''ve changed too quickly. Even though she''s Maddox''s wife, we have never had a


    precedent that a wife could attend a meeting on behalf of her husband. Does she understand what


    we''re saying? Even if she understood, could she make a decision during critical situations? It''s a


    matter about the survival of Yardley Corporation. You can''t be impulsive."


    Albert gave him a light look and said, "What? You are allowed to favor outsiders but I can''t support


    someone else''s wife? The following words were right. It''s about the survival of Yardley Corporation.


    Therefore, I have to be careful, or else... "He nced at Benedict who was beside him as if to


    signify, "One day, the Yardley Corporation will be taken away by a schemer. But his ability is not


    enough. Could we, the Yardley Corporation, maintain our position in North City then? I''m afraid that


    by then, we wouldn''t even be able to squeeze into the top three."


    The people who sat down nodded their heads in agreement.


    "Yes, Young Master Yardley''s ability is not something that everyone canpare with."


    "Yes, although it was annoying that Young Master Yardley always kept a straight face, but we are


    used to it. As long as he took care of the Yardley Corporation and made Yardley Corporation


    prosperous, these things can be ignored," the other shareholder said.


    "Mr. Lowell, I advise you not to hold the candle for the devil. Now that Maddox is only missing


    temporarily, you ally with outsiders to rece him. Aren''t you afraid that Young Master Yardley will


    decorticate you himself when he returns?" Asked Albert.


    Mr. Lowell said, "Why do you talk like this?"


    Benedict suddenly spoke.


    "Everyone, listen to me."
