After the meeting.
Minerva immediately called a car to send Sam to the hospital.
Sam was unwilling at first but Minerva said, "You're badly injured. If they didn't heal well, how are you going to deal with the company's affairs? We still have a tough battle to fight." Sam was persuaded by her so he went to the hospital obediently.
As Minerva was returning to her office, she was stopped by a person at the corner.
After identifying the person who stood in her way, Minerva stopped and looked at him coldly.
"What's the matter?" Benedict was the one who stood in front of her. Old master Yardley was no longer with him as he was sent back to the sanatorium.
No matter how shrewd his eyes were, he was just an old man who sat in a wheelchair and couldn't stand up. He didn't have the ability to resist. If he made a fuss, then it would just becanother reason to send him to the sanatorium.
It's not that Minerva doesn't respect the elders. But after Maddox said that Old Master Yardley killed his mother just to force him to return home, Minerva just couldn't respect him.
How much trauma did this left in Maddox's childhood? Old Master Yardley couldn't be considered as an elder at all. He was just treating Maddox as a chess for his profit. Benedict stood in front of her, looking down at the documents in her hands.

Minerva didn't say anything.
"We're not even friends anymore? I didn't expect... that we would turn out like this?" Benedict took a step forward and approached Minerva.
Minerva widened her eyes and took two steps back. Suddenly, Benedict reached out his hands and grabbed her arm. He raised her hands to the top of her head and pressed them against the cold wall next to her.
"Ah." Minerva was caught off guard and all the things in her hands fell to the ground.
Minerva's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat. She stared at Benedict with wide eyes. Her pupils were contracting violently.
Benedict got close to her and his hands could clearly feel her resistance. He also saw the anger and disgust in her eyes magnifying in front of him.
The woman in front of him was the woman he loved deeply.
But he couldn't have her.
Benedict said, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I'll steal your contract? Minerva, I'm sure that you felt the care and affection I have for you. I've always believed that you knew." Minerva was short of breath. She said as she bit her lower lip, "Let go. If you don't, I'll call the police." "Then?" Benedict laughed with a hint of selfmockery. "Do you want to suefor harassment after the police arrive?" Minerva was speechless.
"You don't have to do this. Even if I want to do this to you, I can't bear it," said Benedict.
As soon as he finished speaking, Benedict sighed heavily and said, "I just want to tell you that, I just want to take Maddox's place temporarily. I used to be the vice president of this company so I'm familiar with many things. The company can't be left unattended for a long time." Minerva was locked by him. She struggled but her strength was no match for him. She struggled a few times and couldn't break free. "Do you dare to say that you don't have any selfish motives?" Benedict drooped his eyelids and his breathing becheavy.
"Yes, I do." He admitted it directly and Minerva sneered.
"Even if I admit that I have selfishness, it is not because of the company. It's because of you." Minerva was at a loss for words.
Benedict continued, "I know you don't trust me. But I know... your relationship with Maddox. If there is a problem in the company, you will not ignore it. How could I bear to see you in such a state? It's better forto do it on my own. I didn't expect that you would think oflike this." "Minerva, I never meant to hurt you. I did everything... For you." "Then let go of me," said Minerva.
Benedict was stunned. Soon, he released her. He looked at her for a while then crouched down to pick up the documents that had scattered on the floor. He handed them to her after he gathered them up. "Sorry, I was being a little emotional just now. I just thought that... You don't believe me, so I beca little crazy. Here. I hope you don't mind." Minerva took the documents and looked at Benedict.
"Who doesn't know how to say such sweet words? A person who doesn't even dare to admit his own selfishness disgustseven more." Said Minerva. Benedict froze there completely.
He thought that Minerva would understand him after what he said just now, but he didn't expect that...
She didn't change at all.
"Humph..." Minerva walked away from him. Leaving Benedict standing at where he was, alone.

* After a busy day, Minerva Hanover collapsed onto the sofa without even removing her makeup when she arrived at home.
This was her first day at work. She was so tired that her body couldn't bear it.
Minerva fell asleep. In a daze, she felt as if someone was wiping something on her face. She subconsciously stretched out her hand and waved but soon the feeling cback.
She barely opened her eyes and found out that Beanie was in front of om her with a bottle of make-up Om removing oil specially designed for pregnant women. He was removing her makeup.
When he saw that she was awake, Beanie said in a soft and cute voice, "Mommy, you've woken up Them makeup on your eyes haven't been removed. Can you close your eyes again?" Minerva shut her eyes when she heard Beanie's request without hesitation. After closing her eyes, she could hear Beanie talking to her. "Mommy, it will be over soon." Minerva nodded and let Beanie remove the makeup for her.
It was not the first tthat he had done this. She used to be as busy as she was now when she was abroad.
When she woke up, her makeup would have been removed.
Who said that daughter was the only apple of the parents' eye? It is undoubtedly that boys can do it too.
"It's done, Mommy."
Beanie jumped out of bed and took a warm towel to wipe the oil stain off Minerva's face. He He said 'Mommy, heard Auntie Vera said that you have a baby. Does it mean that I am going to have a little sister?" Upon hearing this, a thought crossed Minerva's mind. "Sister? Beanie wants a sister?" "Oh, it's all right. I'll like it as long as you like it." Minerva smiled. "I don't know if it's a younger sister or younger brother. But whether it's a younger sister or a younger brother, will you... Accept it?" X She was a little worried before that Beanie would feel a little uncomfortable if he knew that she was pregnant.
He was alone since he was a child and she didn't expect that she would get pregnant again.
"I know. You're very miserable." Beanie put his arms around her neck and whispered with his cheek against her, "I will be happy as long as you're happy." CKK-SBCr/GS2P
