"I... Vera, don't get the wrong idea." As she saw Vera's fierce look, Yasmine tried hard to hold back her anger, fearing that Vera would take revenge on her.
"Let's wait for the result." After Vera finished her sentence, she left right away.
Yasmine remained at the spot, clenching her fists.
"B*tch! Let's wait and see how arrogant you'll be when Yardley Corporation chooses my design." However, Vera thought too simply. After all, Maddox was once her superior. She was afraid to deal with him over the phone, yet she had no choice but to do so for Minerva.
When Vera was about to introduce the designers to Maddox, he said in a lazy tone.
"Ask her to ctoin person." "What?" Vera thought that she misheard him. "Mr. Yardley..." "What's the matter? Does Shelly want to delegate such an important task to someone else?" Vera answered, "You have misunderstood her, Mr. Yardley. Shelly is the boss of the company, so..." "So she isn't a designer?" "Yes." "I will be free after two o'clock in the afternoon. Ask her to contact me." Maddox hung up the phone before she could carry on the conversation.
As she was listening to the beeping sound from the phone, Vera was so angry that she becspeechless. She promised Minerva to call Maddox. Never did she expect that Maddox would directly end the call.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Maddox stared at his phone and was deeply absorbed in his thoughts. Sam then pushed the door open and walked in.
"Young Master Yardley, someone from the design company is looking for you." Did she come? Maddox's mouth curved into a smile. He got up and walked out in an instant.
Sam asked, "Young Master Yardley? Who is it?" Maddox strode out, replying, "It's none of your business." After that, he went downstairs straight away. He had no intention to instruct his staff of bringing the visitors to the lounge. It was just because... he was so eager to meet her.
Vera was waiting nervously downstairs. She didn't inform Minerva about this matter and cto look for Maddox of her own accord. She thought that Maddox wouldn't turn her down if she had already cto him. Maddox had already known Vera five years ago.
When he went downstairs and spotted her pacing back and forth in the hall, Maddox looked glum. "Where is she?" His fierce gaze got on her nerves."Mr. Yardley, Minerva has something to attend to, so... I cover to discuss the designers with you." Upon hearing her words, Maddox's eyes were glistening with a hint of menace. He said with an overbearing tone, "Didn't I say to you?" "What's that?" "Ask her to ctoin person." Vera responded, "But..." "Otherwise, you will breach the contract." Vera went white at once. "Mr. Yardley, you can't behave in such a manner. Minerva is the boss of our company now!" Minerva? The unfamiliar nstunned Maddox for a moment. However, he cto his senses after a while, saying in a deep voice, "Minerva? Is that her current name?" She even changed her name.
Was she letting go of her past? Maddox said callously, "Is it stated in the contract that she wouldn't be the designer?" Vera was rendered speechless.
"Tell her to cand seewithin half an hour, otherwise..." "You will bear the consequences." His voice was frigid when he replied to her.
He turned around and left without paying attention to Vera. Search the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Minerva was engrossed in designing Janice's outfit in her office. She had a headache and pinched her glabella. Janice was demanding, expecting something unique.
Fortunately, Minerva was open-minded. She would try her best to accommodate her client's requests and incorporate them into her design.
The door was pushed open and Vera rushed to her, panting heavily.
"Minerva." Minerva furrowed her brow. "What's wrong?" Vera sat down moodily and explained the incident to her.
"I've contacted Maddox but that b*stard demanded that you find him in person. I refused to submit to him and even went straight to the Yardley Corporation just now. Nevertheless, I thought that he would compromise on it, but he turned away directly, saying..." Minerva paid no attention to her. Instead, she lowered her head and carried on designing. "What did he say?" "He said that you have to go and find him in person. If you don't, our company will be considered to be breaching the contract." Minerva paused abruptly.
She raised her head after a long time. "Is it regarded as a breach of the contract?" He was driving them crazy.

"Minerva, why don't we stop the company operations? I think he did it BRSThink on purpose. That b*stard has crossed the line. It's been so long.
Why does he want to humiliate you?" Humiliate her?
Minerva's eyelids drooped. Indeed, he gave her a divorce contract five years she ago. He refused to meet her ng m matter what. Moreover, she was refrained from entering the Ocean Villa and his company. Five years later, he cto her company to make an order and even asked her to meet him in person. Minerva was just doing her job.
But wasn't Maddox doing this humiliating her? Minerva fell silent in contemplation before putting down her pen. "I'll go and find him." Vera stood up anxiously. "Minerva, it's better not to go there. We cease the company's operations at worst. I don't want you to suffer." When she heard Vera, she smiled and reached out her hand to pinch Vera's face.
"Suffer? All designers endure hardships along the way. If we fail to pull it through, how can we make a living?" Vera looked at her with bloodshot eyes. "But... he's not the same. He's..." "To me, he's just a client." "Really? you clearly..." "Well, I will go to find him first and calm him down. I can't afford to breach the contract."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why can't you afford it? Quill cherishes you so much and would do anything for you. Why don't we seek his help?" As soon as she heard about it, Minerva's expression hardened. "No!" "Minerva..." "Please do not call Quill when I go and find Maddox afterwards." Quill had put in tand effort to take care of her ever since she had reunited with the Hanover family. She couldn't bring him trouble anymore.
Vera noticed her ferocious look and merely snorted.
After speaking to Vera, Minerva looked gloomy the moment she walked out of the office.
Maddox...
She wanted to deal with his humiliation.
