"What's going on?"

"Miss Hanover!" Jennifer, who had a contemptuous expression a second ago, immediately put on a different face when she saw Minerva. She trotted to her in a flattering manner. "Miss Hanover, why did you come to the company today? President Hanover went on a business trip a few days ago. He's not at the company right now."

When the woman in the distance heard that Quill was on a business trip, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. "So he's on a business trip?" She thought.

Minerva smiled and replied in a soft voice.

"I know."

Jennifer was surprised for a moment but reacted quickly; she thought she had said too much. Minerva was President Hanover's beloved sister. He would definitely inform her if he went on a business trip.

The receptionist ruffled her head awkwardly and said, "Miss Hanover, why don't you take Beanie up first?"

Minerva had planned to go upstairs because she had intended to come to have a look and to visit Juliette in the meantime.

But now, there were other things to deal with.

"No rush. Tell me what's going on here first. Who is she?"

When the woman heard Minerva was Quill's younger sister, she looked at her quizzically. When her gaze fell on Minerva's face, it gradually became clear. She then took small steps toward Minerva. "You, you are Quill's sister, aren't you? I-1 know you..."

"Oh?" Minerva raised her eyebrows. "You recognize me?"

"Of course I do."

The woman looked at Minerva, and her smile became warm. "I even held you in my arms when you were just born. But after you were lost, we didn't have a chance to meet again. I didn't expect Quill to really replace you. You look a lot like your mother."

Hearing this, Jennifer couldn't help but laugh. "You are really... you can really lie to obtain a good life. You even said you held Miss Hanover. Why don't you say you're an heiress? Aren't you ashamed, dressing like this? Miss Hanover, I don't know what's going on with this woman. She has been lingering here and said she recognized you and President Hanover. I'll ask the guards to escort her right away." After that, Jennifer beckoned the security guards to come over.

Minerva, on the other hand, looked at her thoughtfully. Her eyes were sincere and her smile was warm and pure. She did not look like she was lying.

Perhaps she really knew her?

"You mean, you are my brother's old friend?"

Minerva asked.

The woman nodded. "Yeah, you believe me?"

Jennifer quickly said, "Miss Hanover, you can't believe her. There are many people who would say they know President Hanover every day. You can't trust them."

Jennifer had her responsibilities as a receptionist. Minerva could only smile at her. "It's alright. I know what I'm doing. Let me have a chat with her. You can go and do your things."

In other words, Minerva would handle it. The receptionist gave Minerva an embarrassed look before agreeing in the end. Then, she turned around and left.

Minerva stepped forward, but the woman took a small step back subconsciously, keeping a distance from Minerva.

"Don't get too close to me. I'm... a little dirty." The woman looked embarrassed when she said this.

"It's fine." Minerva smiled faintly. "You said you held me when I was young?"

The woman was shocked and then nodded. "Yes, I started having memories when Auntie gave birth to you. Our families were close; often went to your house, so I've held you in my arms before. At that time, Mr. William was elated to have a granddaughter, so he wouldn't put you down all the time. You were very cute when you were a baby, fair and small."

Minerva didn't know what to say.

Her description made Minerva a little embarrassed. Seeing how she talked about her like she was there herself, Minerva was somewhat certain this person knew Quill, and their families were most probably friends.

However, looking at her current state, something must have happened in the middle.

After that, Minerva brought her to a

hotel to settle down. The woman took out her identity card to register After Minerva completed the check- in procedures for her, she bit her lower lip and said, "When I make money in the future, I will definitely return the money to you

After that, the two of them continued to chat for a while. Minerva gossiped and asked a few questions. Only then did she know that she was engaged to Quill when she was a child. When she found out

about this, Minerva felt

uncomfortable.

It might be good for this woman to come to Quill if it was in the past and he was single. But now, Quill and Vera were together.

If this wasn't settled properly...

Thinking of this, Minerva decided to

let Vera have a good time first. After all, it was a rare trip. There was no grudge between both sides. Only by getting along well could they bring their relationship to the next level.

That was the most important thing.

"It's nothing important. It's better to tell you when you come back."

Minerva had piqued Vera's curiosity. She kept pestering her for details no matter how. But Minerva said Maddox came back with Jelly Bean. If she really wanted to know, she could video chat with her. This sentence broke all Vera's thoughts.

Maddox was already at home, yet they were going to video chat? Was she supposed to face Maddox's cold stares?

She refused!

Hence, Vera did not continue to pester Minerva. Instead, she put her mind into reality.

The moon had risen.

"What are you talking about?" Quill suddenly leaned over and asked her.

Vera glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and said softly, "Nothing. I was just texting Minerva. Then, Mr. Yardley came back, so I stopped chatting with her."

"Oh."

After he responded, he fell silent again, and the two of them sat together on the beach.

Vera was not the kind of person who liked a crowd, so she sat far away. Moreover, she was rather shy, so she didn't take the initiative to get close.

As a result, those who had boarded the ship with them ran over.

"Vera, why are you still sitting here? Quick, get up and join everyone."

They were too enthusiastic, and Vera couldn't refuse, so she turned to Quill, who was beside her.

However, Quill reached out and patted her head. He smiled faintly and said, "Go ahead."

"Then... then what about you?"

"I'll look for you later."

It was only then Vera nodded, got up, and joined the party.

Compared with Vera's shyness, the others were very enthusiastic. After she went over, they asked various questions. Several women were interested in Quill, and all their questions asked were about him. Like his name, his job, how they got together, how long they have been married, and so forth.

Vera was helpless facing these questions. She even thought if Quill was not at the party, no one would pay attention to her.

It was a pity that Quill was too excellent; he was the shining spot in the crowd.

Vera was already well aware of this in the past.
