Sam had no choice but to wait till the next day. The next morning, he realized that could not get in touch with Olivia.

He called her several times but all of his calls went unanswered.

He even texted her, but she did not reply either.

After trying for half an hour, Sam hurried over to the third floor of the Sunshine Residence. However, he had no idea which unit she lived in. When he saw that he was cutting close to the deadline, he had no choice but to call his men to check which unit Olivia lived in.

While he waited for his men, Sam decided to call Maddox just in case.

To his surprise, just as Maddox answered his call, he heard Minerva's voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"We've never interacted much on the first floor. Let's head up to the second floor."

This was...

Sam thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "Young Master Yardley, are you and Young Madam at the Yardley Mansion?"

Maddox's cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes."

Sam was overjoyed when he heard his reply. However, he did not let it show. He carefully asked, "Young Master Yardley, about the information that you asked me to compile..."

"I don't have the time right now."

As Maddox spoke, he noticed that Minerva was staring at him. "Who's calling you?" She asked.

"It's nothing." Maddox quickly hung up the phone and walked towards her. "Wrong number. Did you just say that you want to go to the second floor?"

Maddox shoved his phone back into his pocket as he spoke.

Minerva nodded. "Yes, let's head up to the second floor."

Then, she suddenly said as she thought of something, "I wonder if the elevator is working."

"Let's use the stairs. It's safer."

"Alright."

As for Sam, his anger had dissipated in an instant. On the contrary, he was delighted. Since Maddox hung up the phone so abruptly, it meant that he had no time to deal with this matter for now. As such, even if Sam wasn't able to submit the information by the given deadline, Maddox would not have the time to look for him.

This meant that he still had time to rectify the current situation.

Just then, his men managed to check which unit Olivia lived in. He located the unit and pressed the doorbell.

However, no one answered the door.

Sam called her phone as he pressed the doorbell.

When Sam thought back to the promise she made last night, anger welled up in his chest when he realized that she wasn't answering his call nor replying to his messages. He then kept ringing the doorbell rapidly.

After God knows how long, Sam was relieved when he finally heard the sound of hurried footsteps from the other side of the door accompanied by roars of anger.

"Who is it? It's the butt crack of dawn! Why don't you let me sleep in?"

Creak...

Olivia was stunned when she found Sam standing at the other side of the door with a gloomy face. About two seconds later, she slammed the door in his face.

Bang!

Just as Sam wanted to take a step forward, Olivia slammed the door on him with a frightened face. Not only that, she nearly slammed the door on his nose. Fortunately, his movements were slow, or else, he would have broken his nose.

"F*ck! Open the door!"

Sam came back to his senses and slammed on the door with great force, creating loud noises.

"Can you hear me? I said open the door! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"

He could not hear any movements coming from the other side of the door. Sam suddenly calmed down and sneered, "Do you really want me to kill you? I've been looking for you the entire morning. I'm pissed right now! You'd better open the door now, or else..."

Creak...

The next second, the door opened. Olivia stood there with a face of despair.

When their eyes met, Sam sneered and said, "You're finally willing to open the door, huh? Miss Olivia?"

Olivia flinched under Sam's gaze. In the end, she fiddled with her ear and said in a low and helpless voice, "Mr. Sorrento, it's only seven in the morning and I only got back at midnight." "So?" Sam asked.

"I arrived home at midnight and by

าวน

the time I was done washing up, it was already one. Just as I was about to hit the sack, I received a phone call from you. Because of you, I did not sleep until the wee hours. Now... you came all the way to my house at the butt crack of down to wake me up. Don't you it's rude?"

think

Sam sneered and said, "Not only did you not finish your job you're even sleeping leisurely. Don't you think it's rude then? And you call yourself a writer?"

Olivia knew that no matter what she said, Sam was not going to leave. She would definitely have to amend her work right now. She was speechless for a moment before she finally reluctantly said, "Fine, come in."

On the other side, at the Yardley Mansion.

Minerva and Maddox went up to the second floor.

They did not bring anyone else here with them. When they arrived, they saw several security guards at the entrance of the Yardley Mansion. There were also people patrolling the area.

After asking, he realized that it was

vel.e

Sam who had arranged for those guards. Meaning that there hadn't. been anyone staying here for a time and he was afraid that something similar like that day would happen. Therefore, for the sake of

Minerva's safety, he had tightened security.

Minerva was quite satisfied with this.

Therefore, when Minerva and Maddox went upstairs, they were not on guard at all.

As she walked up, Minerva looked at the bricks and tiles in front of her. She felt as if she had been there for a lifetime.

Everything happened five years ago, but at the same time, it seemed like it was just the day before.

Sometimes, she didn't even know where she was if she stared at it for a long time.

As they turned the corner, Minerva suddenly came to a halt and looked ahead.

Not far ahead was Maddox's room. She remembered that when she first got married, Maddox had treated her badly. He wanted to kick her out of the Yardley family.

However, Minerva did not want to leave. After that, she even slept outside the door for an entire night. Back then... she was foolish and stubborn. Now that she thought back to that day...

Just as Minerva was reminiscing, she did not notice Maddox frowning beside her. Memories flashed through his mind as he looked at the familiar scene in front of him.

As they got closer and closer, Maddox felt as if his memories had been triggered. However, he still could not remember anything. He felt a sharp pain in his head but Maddox was afraid that Minerva would worry, so he endured it.

"This used to be your room."

Minerva came back to her senses. Perhaps because she was too excited, she went up to him and said, "I can't believe nothing has changed in this room."

As soon as she finished her words, a little cupboard in the corner of the room caught her eyes.

She was stunned.

That little cupboard...

She had bought it for herself because Maddox did not allow her to share a closet with him. Later on, Minerva bought this little cupboard. Before buying this cupboard, she kept her clothes in a suitcase.

It was just that Minerva thought that they would have thrown it away after she left.

Because the cupboard did not match the decor of the room, regardless of its workmanship or appearance.
