"Let her pick up the phone and return it to me. After that, let them leave," Minerva said softly as she walked out.
Minerva's gaze landed on Emily. She wore a pitiful look with puffy eyes. She was the one who initiated the argument and was arrogant. However, why did she look as if she was the one being bullied? But it didn't matter anymore.
Minerva stared at her. "It's my fault that I hit your car. I've been apologizing and talking about compensation. This young lady has been finding fault with me. She refused to make peace with me. When I was about to call the police, you rushed over and shoved my phone away. You are at fault for this, yet I won't ask for much. You can just pick up the phone and return it to me." Emily had to pick up the phone for her even without an apology.
Minerva would not compromise on this.
Emily could have admitted defeat. On the contrary, she squawked with her eyes wide open, "Why should I pick up the phone for you? You hit my car. So what if I don't let you go? So what if I shove your mobile phone away? Don't you think that you should make up for your mistake?" The scene was silent for a while.
Maddox frowned and walked up unpleasantly.
Nevertheless, Minerva stretched out her hand and grabbed him. "I'll manage it myself." "You?" Maddox narrowed his eyes and uttered in a menacing tone, "You'd better not swallow your anger. Otherwise... I will not restrain myself from going against the Quartley family." Minerva looked at him strangely. What was going on with him? Wasn't he trying to humiliate her? Why was he helping her instead? His actions puzzled Minerva very much. She didn't dwell on it but walked toward Nickolas and Emily.
"Since you neither want to pick up the phone nor apologize, then I won't be responsible for the repair fees." She gave in and could only offer such concessions to them. As such, she could pick up the phone on her own, but she would not pay for the repair fee of the car. "How dare you!" Emily's expression changed and stepped forward to shove her roughly.

She shoved Minerva with all her might, causing her to stagger forward.

Maddox took her into his arms right away. He looked at Nickolas, sneering, "Just you wait, Nickolas, till I get my hands on you!" After he finished speaking, he directly lifted Minerva up in his arms before anyone could speak. Minerva yelled, "Putdown!" "Sam!" Maddox called out coldly. Sam, who disguised himself as an onlooker cto his senses at once. "My goodness!" He thought he had disguised himself perfectly. How could he be discovered by Maddox? "Hurry up and cout to settle things over here." Maddox shouted at him in an angry voice. Sam realized at once and walked out from the crowd.
"Young Master Yardley." Apparently, he had just arrived at the spot not long ago, and he failed to spot Minerva's face from afar.
He was curious to know the woman whom Maddox had fallen head over heels for.
Sam cnear Maddox and eventually saw Minerva's face clearly as she was in Maddox's arms. He widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Why are you stunned? I'll leave the matter here to you." Maddox's voice brought Sam back to his senses. He nodded. "Yes, I'll handle it well." Maddox took Minerva away without hesitation, ignoring her wishes.
Minerva was carried into a car by him. She only regained her senses when he bent down to fasten her seatbelt.
When she was about to speak, Maddox glanced at her. "There's no point in you saying that you want to go back yourself." After that, he slammed the door shut and went to the other side of the car.
Minerva was lost for words.
Was this person still that overbearing after five years?" However... Minerva caught a glimpse of his legs.
In the past, when he was sitting in a wheelchair, he did not lose out to anyone at all. Presently, he stood up in an even more imposing manner. Minerva pursed her lips and looked elsewhere.
Forget it.
"I owe you one." After he sat in the driver's seat, Minerva said in a clear voice.
Maddox paused. After a while, he wore a meaningful look at the thought of it.
Did she owe him a favor? Oh, that sounded good.
"If there is anything I can do for you in future, feel free to tell me, Mr. Yardley. I will fulfill it as long as I am capable of doing so." "Anything?" Maddox gazed intensely at her.
Minerva blushed instantly. She gritted her teeth. "It's just for work. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with personal matters." "Anyway." Maddox suddenly inched closer to her.
"You oweone. I will ask for it." "Mr. Yardley, is there anything I can do for you?" "I'll tell you after I think about it." He retracted, turned the steering wheel and drove them from the place.
Minerva furrowed her brows. She initially wanted to ask about her belongings. However, on recalling Sam's ability, she did not do so.
After all, she knew Sam well. That man could stay by Maddox for so long; his ability to do things could be said to be super.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe believed that her mobile phone and car would be sent back to her shortly.
As soon as she thought about this, she felt relieved. She leaned against the car seat and looked out of the window.
What happened recently is just like a dream.
She did not expect to meet Maddox so soon after returning to the country. Afterwards. She ha@such a strong, partnership with him. She was afraid that they would have to meet often in future. Now... she was sitting in his car again. She intended to stay away from him. Even if she had to see him, she would pretend to be a stranger.
Despite that, everything was out of her control. What could she do? "Go to your company?" Maddox asked all of a sudden Minerva cto her senses, nodding. "Yes, I still have smatters to manage in the company. Thank you." The atmosphere in the car becquiet as they headed in the direction of her company.
Fifteen minutes later, Maddox's car arrived in front of her company.
"I have something else to do." Maddox looked at her with wicked eyes. "You go up on your own."
Upon hearing his words, Minerva paused when she was unbuckling her seat belt. What did by that did this person mean by that? Did he wish to accompany her up? Moreover, she had no intention to ask him for his company.
"Are you scoldingin your heart?" Maddox added.
Minerva quickly unfastened her seatbelt and opened the car door to get out "Thank you Mr. Yardley, for sendingback. I won't stay any longer. Be careful on your way back." After saying that, Minerva flashed a professional smile and turned to leave.
Maddox looked at her back and slowly narrowed his eyes. Then, he let out a chuckle.
"What a cruel woman." X
