Chapter 857


    Minerva stopped in her tracks. She couldn''t help but turn to look at the female neighbor.


    She was just a neighbor who knew nothing about Minerva, but yet she was still able to nder her like this.


    Why wasn''t there more goodwill between people?


    Maddox, who was beside her, also noticed this sentence. He frowned and the unhappiness in his eyes had been very obvious. He said coldly, "This


    lady..."


    Minerva quickly grabbed his hand and shook her head at him.


    This was her personal matter. Furthermore, the other person was a woman. There was no need for Maddox to speak up for her.


    Maddox frowned, but the expression on his face was still unpleasant.


    Minerva smiled at him and then looked coldly at the neighbor. She smiled and said, “Miss, I don''t know you well, do I? Why do you say those words


    out of your mind?”


    The female neighbor had always thought that she was easy to bully. Seeing that Minerva had such a handsome boyfriend who was driving such a


    luxurious car, even more that he was going to bring her away now.


    She felt a little jealous. She had praised her boyfriend''s handsomeness, but the man did not respond at all.


    She was a little envious of such a handsome and rich man who did not have any other women in his eyes.


    But her envy towards Minerva was too much, causing her to feel jealous. so she couldn''t help but say something to her before she left


    As the female neighbor was being looked at by them with cold eyes, her momentum immediately weakened. She took a few steps back and


    whispered, "I, I''m just...”


    She wanted to defend herself, but she didn''t know what to say when the words were about toe out of her mouth. Moments ago, she had been


    really hot-headed and said something unpleasant


    After a moment of thought. the female neighbor said rudely, "It''s my fault."


    After that. she turned around and directly opened the door into her house. She even deliberately mmed the door loudly when closing it.


    Minerva was speechless.


    She pursed her lips and drooped her eyelids. "Let''s go."


    Maddox stood rooted to the spot and did not move when he noticed her low mood. He looked at the direction in which the woman had left with a dark


    gaze.


    Minerva frowned and returned when she realized that he had not followed her after taking two steps.


    "Stop looking. These people speak their mind too easily. It''s nothing to me.”


    However, Maddox didn''t think so. This reminded him of something else.


    If the people in thepany knew that she was with him, would they also treat her in such a way?


    He discovered that a person she was not familiar with could already make her so depressed. What if everyone in thepany looked at her like this?


    "You don''t want the people in thepany to know about it because of this?" Maddox suddenly asked


    Upon hearing this, Minerva was dumbfounded. She didn''t expect him to think of something else. She looked at Maddox, whose brows were knitted


    tightly because of her. She couldn''t help but smile. "What are you thinking? What do other people''s opinions have to do with me? I don''t care what


    people say, regardless of whether they''re my neighbors or the people at thepany.”


    “Really?” Maddox pursed his thin lips. "Then why were you so unhappy just now?”


    Minerva replied, "I was just thinking that I''m not familiar with her. Why does she have so much malice? But then I quickly understood, it''s because...


    she''s jealous that I''m better than she.”


    Up to this point, she stretched out her hand to tug Maddox''s tie and said in a softer voice, “She''s jealous that my boyfriend is so handsome and rich.


    That''s why she''s so jealous of me. If I''m unhappy over this matter, wouldn''t that mean that I cut off my nose just to spite my face?”


    She spoke very openly and her expression was so calm that it seemed as if she did not care about the incident at all. However, Maddox felt extremely


    ufortable seeing someone scold her.


    She was his girlfriend. How could he allow those people to speak ill of her behind her?


    "Don''t tell me you''re unhappy just because she said something about me, right?" Minerva looked carefully at his face and saw that his eyes were


    trembling. She understood what he meant.


    "I am happy that you are concerned about me, but it''s really unnecessary. There are so many people in the world, and we can''t bother too much. For


    me, you are the most important.”


    It was the first time Minerva had made such a bold deration of love.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    She had not expected herself to be so frank after Maddox lost his memory.


    Because of her words, Maddox was shocked. After a while, he clutched her hand and held it tightly with his fingers.


    He said, “That''s what you said. You have to remember it for the rest of your life.”


    His voice was slightly hoarse as if he had been exhausted for an entire night, carrying with it a hint of abstinence.


    They finally came down from upstairs and met thendlord at the gate.


    Thendlord said, “Oh, Minerva, are you going to move out to live with your boyfriend? Congrattions to the two of you."


    Surprisingly, thendlord was still smiling at her and even blessed them. Minerva smiled and bowed to him, "Thank you for your care during this


    period of time. I enjoyed my stay.”


    "Hey, don''t mention it. You''re in a hurry to move away, right? Hurry up and go. Take care of yourself," Thendlord said.


    "Okay." Minerva replied


    After getting into the car, Minerva


    fastened hexseatbelt and said, "This

    It happened that her eyes met with Maddox''s. He noticed the sudden change in her mood and looked at the screen of her mobile phone.


    Minerva subconsciously put away her phone.


    This action made her feel very guilty. Maddox nced at her.


    Minerva couldn''t say a word.


    What she had done just now must have made Maddox misunderstand her.


    However, it was Juliette who had called her at this time, it was not good for her to pick it up in front of Maddox.


    After thinking about it for a while, Minerva could only pick up the call. She ced it beside her ear and gently said hello.


    "Miss Minerva.” The voice of Secretary Sharpio came from the other side, and a clear female voice sounded in the quiet car.


    Minerva bit her lower lip and said softly, "Secretary Sharpio, I''m still outside. Is there anything important?"


    Juliette was smart. so she was definitely able to guess the meaning behind her words.


    Sure enough, she was stunned for a

    Minerva replied, "There''s nothing I need. Thank you for your concern.”


    The atmosphere inside the car was quiet. Even if she did not have hands-free, he could still hear their conversation.


    After Minerva hung up the phone, she looked at Maddox.


    She said, "It''s Quill''s secretary."
