Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Minerva frowned when she heard the sound of her phone's ringtonel. Who would be calling her at this time? Juliette? Minerva thought.

Minerva put down the cup and picked up the phone to have a look, but she found out that it was not Juliette's number.

Instead, it was a call from Benedict.

She had saved his contact before.

Benedict called her at this time. What did he want to do? Minerva thought of the purpose of his call and picked up the phone, "Hello?" Benedict heard her voice and finally let out a sigh over the end of the phone, "That's great, you're fine." Minerva was confused.

That's why he called me? Minerva thought.

Benedict said, "Your phone has been turned off these days and I can't get in touch with you." Minerva didn't know how to reply to his words, so she kept silent and took a bite of the sandwich.

A light chewing sound cto Benedict's ears. He was stunned for a moment and then asked softly, "Haven't you had breakfast yet?" Minerva saw that the traffic jam in front of her was too heavy. Therefore, she took another sip of oatmeal. She then swallowed the sandwich in her mouth.

"Mr. Yardley, what are you calling for?" There was a moment of silence, then he whispered, "I was just making sure that you're fine. If possible, I want to treat you to a meal and see you... are you free now?" Upon hearing this, Minerva pursed her lips. After taking a look at the situation outside the car, she told him directly.

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient. I'm... on my way to the Yardley Corporation." Her words made Benedict stay silent for a long time. Then, Minerva noticed that his tone had beca little more anxious. "Why are you going to the Yardley Corporation? Didn't you just returned home? You should have a good rest," said Benedict. Minerva smiled faintly. "I'm not doing anything. I just wanted to take a look." She took another sip of the oatmeal casually.

She had to admit that Sarah was really good at cooking. This oatmeal was well brewed and it had won her appetite. "What's so interesting about the company? Where are you now? I'll cfind you," said Benedict. This kind of reaction made Minerva a little disappointed. "Do you feel guilty?" She asked.

Benedict was stupefied for a moment. Then, he smiled faintly. "What's there to be guilty of?" "Since you're not guilty, we'll talk about it when I arrive at the Yardley Corporation," said Minerva After saying that, Minerva did not give him the chance to speak again. She hung up the phone immediately. She put her phone aside and ate the sandwich.

When she finished eating the sandwich and the oatmeal, the traffic jam was finally over. Minerva cleaned her hands and continued to drive.

It is very close to the Yardley Corporation from where she was, and it would take about fifteen minutes for her to get there.

Minerva arrived at the Yardley Corporation on time. She parked her car and went straight into the building.

As the people in Yardley Corporation had seen her before, they didn't stop Minerva when she went upstairs. She went directly to the elevator that Maddox used to take. As soon as she stepped into the elevator, someone grabbed her arm.

Minerva turned around and saw Benedict.

"Don't go up," he said.

Minerva was surprised.

Benedict's face didn't look good. His goldframed glasses concealed the gloominess in his eyes. He closed his eyelids and pulled Minerva out. He released her when the elevator door closed. Minerva drew her hand back and asked coldly, "What are you doing?" "You've just returned hand you haven't recovered yet. I'll take you back to rest," said Benedict.

After that, Benedict wanted to hold Minerva's hand again.

Minerva immediately took a step back with a cold face. Her tone was stern.

"Mr. Yardley, please respect yourself." Her tone was very heavy and she looked extremely serious. Benedict was shocked for a moment, then his hand stopped in mid-air and said with a bitter smile, "Do you hateso much now? You can't even lettake care of you?" "Is it caring or guilt? "Minerva asked.

Benedict asked, "What do you mean?" "Mr. Yardley, you don't have to play dumb withanymore. I'm sure you are aware of the reason I cback. Now that Maddox is not here, I will protect everything in his place, for him." Benedict was completely stunned. He had thought that Minerva might have guessed what he wanted to do, but... with her temperament, she should have held back against him. He didn't expect that she would say it out so bluntly.

She didn't cared about his feelings.

Suddenly, Benedict was extremely depressed.

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Benedict has a sneering smile on his lips.

"Minerva, am I such a disgusting person in your eyes? "Benedict asked.

She didn't answer him, but the way she looked at him had already revealed her thoughts.

Benedict asked, "Perhaps, you think that I cto Yardley Corporation to replace him? Because something happened to Maddox, so I'm looking for a chance to replace him? Do you think that I am the kind of person who would take advantage of the situation ?" Minerva pursed her red lips and asked, "You think you're not ?" Benedict stared at her without saying a word.

"If you think so, then don't show up at the meeting today," said Minerva.

Benedict's face changed slightly. It seemed that she knew everything.

Ding- Minerva pressed the button of the elevator. When the door of the elevator opened, she stepped straight into the elevator.

Before the doors of the elevator closed, Minerva looked at him and sneered. "Prove toif you aren't that kind of person." Bang! At the moment the elevator door was completely closed, Benedict who stood outside the elevator, clenched his fists and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

"Sir, don't be silly. She's just trying to listen to provoke you. If you listen to her, you'll gher trape Mark had been fall into her standing aside. While Minerva left, he quickly cto comfort Benedict.

Benedict didn't answer him, so Mark said cruelly, "Women like to pounce on rich men. When Mr. Benedictm becomes the president of the Yardley corporation, she will look back to you. Now she is addicted in dealing with Maddox. It is all because Maddox has power and influence, "Mark said. As soon as the voice fell, Benedict picked up Mark's collar, and his eyes under the lens were cold. "Who gave you the courage to talk about her?"

Mark's face changed and said, "Mr.

Benedict, it's my fault. I said this because I care about your career f I you don't like to hear these words, I won't say it in the future. Please forgivethis time." Benedict looked at Mark for a while, then slowly retracted his hand and stood at the side to tidy up his collar. "Minerva is one of the most special woman I have ever seen. You don't have to worry that I would be tricked by her," said Benedict.

He smiled, and there is a touch of evil in his eyes, which he never had before.

"I want the company and her," said Benedict.

Mark swallowed and nodded in agreement.

Benedict looked at the ascending elevator floors with his side eyes, his thin lips closed more and more tightly.

Minerva, don't blme.

I'll explain it to you after I've taken everything.

Maddox, don't you like to compete with me? Now that you're dead, let's see how you can fight.
