Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1121

The sudden sound of the male voice shocked both of them.

The person who talked to Vera looked at the source of the sound. When he saw the speaker's stern face and cold eyes looking at him, he inexplicably felt a chill behind him. "President... President Hanover?"

Who at this banquet wouldn't know who President Hanover was?

However, he was usually alone. Why was he talking to him all of a sudden that day? The man knew he wouldn't stand a chance to talk to him. "The reason that President Hanover is here is that..." He thought about it and looked at the girl he was trying to hit on. The girl in the white cocktail dress.

Sure enough, Vera's eyes were fixed on Quill's face. There seemed to be a frightened expression on her fair face, and her lips were slightly parted as if she wanted to explain something, but she couldn't.

In fact, when she was stopped by this man, she felt anxious because if she was late, she didn't know if Quill would go into the banquet by himself and leave her outside all alone.

She didn't expect him to walk over to her.

At this moment, his eyes were a little cold and they looked a little heavier than usual. Vera pinched her dress and hesitated for a while. Finally, she walked towards him with unsteady steps. As she walked, she took a deep breath.

Although the shoes fit that day, they were too high for her. If she had known this earlier, she would have picked a pair of high heels that were shorter.

However, the pair of high heels were the only ones that matched the dress. It took her a few days to pick them out.

Just as she was about to reach Quill's side, she tripped on her shoes and she fell forward towards the ground.

Not far away, Yannie saw with her own eyes that Susan had been thrown out after throwing herself into Quill's embrace. She fell onto the ground in a miserable state and be gloated by others. There was actually another woman trying to reenact the same trick by falling into his embrace?

Yannie's arms were crossed in front of her. When she saw Vera fall towards the cold and elegant man, the facial features on her face changed. Her expression became panic-stricken. Her acting looked real.

However, she wasn't that great at controlling her expression. She was falling into his embrace with such a horrific expression, so was she trying to scare him off? Tsk, that was so dumb of her.

Soon, Yannie was slapped in the face by her own thoughts.

Quill, who looked unfazed, suddenly stretched out his hand and caught Vera firmly in his arms.

The crowd who was ready to watch the good show were speechless.

Yannie was dumbfounded.

Susan, who had just embarrassed herself horribly, was shocked too.

What was going on?

Vera thought that she would be on the ground, but someone caught her. Then, a familiar scent rushed into her nostrils and surrounded her.

She raised her head in surprise and happened to meet Quill's calm and dark eyes. Her heart skipped a beat.

"Does he think that I fell on purpose just to get him to hold me?" This was her first thought.

Thinking of this, she quickly explained herself, "Oh, I'm sorry... These heels are a bit too high. I didn't

do it on purpose."

Upon hearing this, he frowned slightly, and then his eyes fell on her shoes.

The white high heels wrapped around her small, delicate ankles like white marble. Her toes, which were slightly round but not bloated, were delicate and cute. This pair of shoes very suitable for her, and he estimated the height with his eyes. Perhaps it was for the sake of the banquet, so it was a lot higher than usual. It would have been easier for her to move around if she wore her usual high heels.

After all, he had seen Juliette run around in high heels quite often.

However, every time Vera appeared in front of him, she would always be in flats. She was probably not used to high heels. He recalled back then when she accompanied him

dinner, she wore shoes that weren't right for her feet then ended up injuring herself.

As he thought about it, he stared at her heels and asked in a deep voice.

"Do the shoes fit well?"

"Ah?" Vera was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded. She nodded and said, "They... They do. They're just a little high and I'm not used to them."

Quill raised his eyes and glanced at her nervous face. "Can you walk? If it's not suitable, you should change into another pair of shoes."

"Change into another pair of shoes? No, there's no need for that. I'm just not used to it. It's alright, I'll try to walk."

After that, she realized that she had been lying in his arms the whole time. Her face was burning. Then, she quickly picked herself up and noticed that everyone was staring at her. She was embarrassed and quickly hid behind him.

Although she was a little afraid of him, he was the only person that she knew here, therefore she felt safe with him.

After taking a glance at the

unfamiliar faces around her, she subconsciously tried to hide behind him, which was noticed by him. He couldn't say why, but he felt that his gloomy mood gradually dissipated and was gradually replaced by a faint sense of satisfaction.

He pursed his lips and said, "If it's inconvenient for you to walk, you can hold on to me."

Not long after he said that, Quill felt she tugged his sleeve. He looked down and saw a pair of fair hands grabbing his sleeve carefully. However, she only grabbed a small part of it as if she was afraid that he would be unhappy if she held too much of

him.

"Follow me."

"Alright."

Vera followed by his side. She grabbed his sleeve with one hand and walked forward with tentative steps.

When they passed by Yannie and Susan, their expressions looked horrible. Susan stood alongside Yannie after her father held her up.

Yannie originally thought that Vera would be pushed away by Quill too, but she was unexpectedly held by him and he allowed her to be by his side, walking into the banquet with her hand on his sleeve.

The most important thing was that this woman seemed to be unfamiliar. For upper-class people like them, although they weren't familiar with everyone, they would know who the other person was from because they met at all kinds of events.

Over time, even if they didn't know each other, they would occasionally greet each other.

"Who is this girl? Why is she with President Hanover?"

Sure enough, among the spectators who had witnessed everything just now, some of them began to ask questions out of curiosity.

"Yeah, I thought President Hanover never brings a date for banquets? What's happening today?"

Everyone was stunned. "President Hanover brought a woman to the banquet, so is he trying to announce something?"

"No way! Does he finally have a woman?"

Yannie and Susan looked at each other, and their expressions were horrific.

"Did you see what happened to Yannie and Susan earlier? They went over to hit on President Hanover and he didn't even look at them."
