Minerva was unsure if it was because Sylvia had done things that hurt her deeply before and so she had locked her impression of this person in her mind. She felt that this incident was not that simple. "Young Madam, in fact, we've also investigated one more thing."

"What is it?"

Sam was silent for a while. He felt that it was a little difficult to talk about this matter, so he simply handed over the information that he had prepared in advance to her,

"Young Madam, please take a look at this."

She grabbed the document and began to read it carefully.

It turned out that after she went abroad, Sylvia's father owed loan sharks a large amount of money. The loan sharks then went to the restaurant where she was working and threatened her. They wanted her to pay for her father's debts.

The situation kept repeating itself and Sylvia would seduce the restaurant's old manager and sleep with all kinds of older men to lure them into paying off her debts for her.

At first, it was just a few thousand dollars, then it would go up to a hundred thousand dollars, and then two hundred thousand dollars.

After that, it went up to more than a million dollars. Sylvia was just a s*x partner to those men and she worked hard to charm them. The men were wealthy and they didn't think the amount of money spent on her was an issue.

As the amount of money grew bigger and the intervals became more frequent, they realized that there was no ending to it.

Therefore, they were not willing to pay off the debts for her anymore.

Since she had no money to pay them back, Sylvia could only ask the loan sharks to give her more time. They were willing to give her more time because she owed a large amount of money. After all, they wanted money and not a person's life.

However, when it was time for her to pay up and she didn't, the loan sharks became more aggressive. Then, Sylvia ended up angering them and she was forced into taking nude photos. They threatened to leak her nude photos on the internet and ruin her reputation forever if she didn't pay up quickly.

She had not found anyone to help her, so she wanted to look for Quill.

However, she didn't manage to see him because she was always stopped. Then soon after, before she could clear the debts, her father had fled.

She decided to escape but she was caught at the train station. The loan sharks were angered by her escape and they ended up putting her nude photos on the internet.

They even r*ped her.

She was r*ped by a group of men. Sylvia was saved after she was sent to the hospital.

However, after what happened, she became mentally ill.

"That's what happened."

Minerva held the document in her hand and her fingertips trembled slightly as the color of her lips began to turn pale.

Seeing her like this, Sam suddenly felt that something was wrong and quickly said, "Young Madam, now that you know what happened, you can let me handle it. Don't worry, I will take care of it." After saying that, he hesitated for a moment before taking the documents from her hands.

She was in shock.

She looked at her pale fingertips and suddenly raised her head to look at him. "What are you going to do?"

"Huh?" He was confused.

The fact that Young Madam was asking him this question, could it be that she felt sympathy towards that woman, Sylvia?

Just as Sam was hesitating if he should ask Minerva how to deal with this matter, she suddenly lowered her gaze and said in a low voice, "Forget it. It's up to you to deal with it. You don't need to let him know about this."

After all, Maddox could no longer remember the past.

Sam put away the information and nodded.

"Got it, Young Madam."

After Sam left, Minerva stared blankly at the scene in front of her.

Perhaps she was faithful to her past friendship. After replaceing out about Sylvia's experience, she found it funny that she actually felt sympathy towards her.

In fact, she even wanted to lend her a helping hand.

However, she quickly recalled the hurtful things Sylvia had done to her in the past.

Hence, she gave up the idea of giving her a helping hand.

Minerva took a deep breath and looked out of the window. She told herself in her heart.

"I'm not a saint. I can't just forgive her for things she had done to me and offer her help."

"She was the one that got herself into that situation."

If she hadn't paid for her father's debts in the beginning when it was a smaller amount, things wouldn't have gotten worse.

The greed for money wouldn't have gotten stronger.

The fact that she had turned out like this now simply meant that she had reaped what she had sown.

As for Minerva, her identity had been taken by Sylvia in the past, and she had even set up a trap to separate her and Maddox. She would never forget about that. Therefore, she should not forgive her and she should just pretend to not know about it.

It had nothing to do with her.

Although those were her thoughts, she was oddly moody when it was time to get off work. Maddox came to pick her up from work even though she didn't want him to.

However, he was afraid that he

didn't come to pick her up, she would want to stay in the

work hours to continue work.net

Therefore, he had to keep an eye on her.

As Minerva was sitting in her office in a daze, Kelly's voice came from the outside.

"Young Master Yardley, are you here to pick up Minerva?"

"That's right."

The cold reply and the steady footsteps.

After that, the door of Minerva's office was pushed open. When Minerva saw Maddox appear in front of her, she kept a smile on her face

and

got up to pick up her bag.

Lets go.

He frowned slightly as she walked past him. The next second, he reached out and grabbed her arm.

She turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?" "What happened?" He asked.

Her heart skipped a beat at his words. She looked at him in surprise. She had not said anything. How was he able to tell?

She didn't want to tell him, so she shook her head and said, "Nothing. Why are you asking all of a sudden?"

She had already warned Sam not to tell Maddox about this. Given Sam's temper, he would keep his mouth shut.

Thus, did he manage to notice something off in her expression?

She had already smiled, but she didn't want him to see through her smile. She didn't expect...

Indeed, his brows furrowed when he heard her words. His thin lips twitched as if he wanted to say something.

"I'm a little hungry. Shall we go out to eat today or go back home to eat?"

She suddenly interrupted his words and asked.

His eyes were deep, and he probably had thought of something. He said calmly, "Where do you want to eat?"

She gave it a serious thought and said, "Why don't we go home? I'll cook."

He walked over and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "No, we have a maid at home. Let her do it. You're pregnant right now."

"I'm just pregnant. It's not like I can't move. Don't treat me like a cripple."

Her tone carried a hint of annoyance

as she spoke, as if she was really dissatisfied. He lowered his head and looked at her. He had sensed that she was hiding something based on her emotions but

seemed that she didn't want to tell him about it.
