Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 1370

"Did you have this with Quill? Did you have any other relationships with him apart from growing up together?" Yulia was rendered speechless by her words. She did not expect Minerva to speak so bluntly and harshly.

In reality, Minerva had let Yulia pour her heart out because she was considering the fact that she might have something to say about this.

However, she did not expect Yulia would use her as an example.

And even brought up her most painful memory.

Since Yulia chose to be blunt, Minerva would not be gentle with her either and lay it all out.

"Am I wrong?" Minerva smiled and said coldly, "There's no romantic relationship between you and my brother. Moreover, I have a hunch he doesn't know anything about the engagement either. Otherwise, based on his personality, he'd long call off the engagement if he doesn't have any feelings toward you. There's no way he'd let you believe you two have an engagement until now."

Shocked, Yulia's lips turned bloodless.

"You..." "Yulia, you used to be the daughter of the Maxwell family. I won't say anything unpleasant. I'm sure you know where I'm going with this."

Yulia sat silently, looking extremely unpleasant as she bit her lower lip. She suddenly laughed.

"Yes, you're right. There isn't any romance between us. It's all just my wishful thinking. No matter how crazy I am about him, I won't get anything in response."

"I meant what I said. If you're willing, a new life awaits you. No matter how it'd turn out, it'd be better than living in the shadows of the happiness of others."

After that, Minerva stood up with Jelly Bean in her arms and said, "That's all I want to say. I'm sure you're well aware of a lot of things, so I won't say anything more. Jelly Bean needs to sleep; I'm taking her home."

Minerva dipped her head and left.

Seeing that, Yulia clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth, "Minerva, hang on."

Hearing that, Minerva stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Yulia.

"Is there anything else?" "You..." Looking rather unpleasant, she grabbed the hem of her skirt tightly and hesitated, "Do you hate me?"

After asking, she felt mawkish to have asked it. Therefore, she quickly explained, "I didn't mean it just now. I was a little carried away and couldn't help bringing up your past. I meant no harm, and I didn't mean to attack you."

Minerva was surprised she would give in. She smiled without care and said, "It's fine, I don't mind."

What she meant was, she didn't mind whatever Yulia said. After all, she wasn't anyone closely related to her.

Yulia roughly understood what she meant from her gaze.

Seeing that, Minerva left without a second thought.

her gaze dimmed and fell silent.

Because Quill was not there, Minerva intended to take Jelly Bean to Vera's restaurant. When she came out, she bumped into Juliette. "Minerva, you're done?"

Seeing Juliette, Minerva smiled at her and said, "Secretary Sharpio, aren't you busy?"

Juliette immediately raised her brows, "Of course I am. Not only that, I'm going crazy." "Why's that?"

"President Hanover has put off all of his work. I'm swamped. Honestly."

He had put off all of his work? This wasn't like Quill to do something like this. Thinking back to what Yulia said, she had a hunch at something.

"Did something happen between Vera and my brother?"

"You sure catch on quick," Juliette nodded as she twitched her lips and then said, "I reckon something major happened. But as for what it is, I hadn't a clue." After that, she thought of something and looked toward the waiting room, then whispered, "What did you two talk about? Yulia..."

Minerva looked at her in amusement and said, "What about her? Why did you stop?"

"Ahem, I mean, I don't know what's going on, don't I? So I don't dare to bull."

"Just say it, do you need to watch your mouth with me?"

Juliette was just perfunctory with her. Even if Minerva didn't say that, she would still share her thoughts.

"Yulia was hospitalized for a while,

and I was asked to take care of her. During that, Vera brought food every day, and they exchanged contact later. But I noticed something was off with Yulia. I don't know if she has any ill will, but she definitely likes Mr. Hanover."

"Mm," Minerva murmured, "She does like Quill. It's obvious."

Yulia's affectionate gaze at Quill was so obvious that one could tell from easily.

"But Vera's oblivious to this and even

got along with her. She's usually quite bright, but how can she be so muddle-headed in crucial times? Is this what they call having one's head in the clouds?"

To Minerva's surprise, Vera became friends with Yulia and even exchanged contacts.

Then did their issue have anything to do with Yulia this time?

As the thought crossed her mind, Minerva's gaze deepened, "What's going on? Do you know where's Quill?"

"Yeah," Juliette nodded, "He asked me to buy a train ticket for him and chased after Vera."

Hearing that, Minerva frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I take that Vera's upset, so she doesn't want anything to do with him, leading him to chase after her on the train."

Minerva was rather speechless.

What were they doing?

After knowing Vera was not at the restaurant, Minerva did not hurry to leave but went directly to Quill's office. She placed Jelly Bean on the sofa and called Vera. However, the call operator greeted her instead. "Hello, the number you have dialed is not available; please try again later."

What the hell?

Minerva hung up the phone and frowned.

What in the world were they up to?

However, with Quill by Vera's side, she wasn't too worried about her safety. She just wanted to know what happened between the two of them and whether it had anything to do with Yulia.

After all, this probably wasn't something trifle.

Minerva regretted not telling Vera earlier now. She had let the matter slip when she got busy, in addition to her good impression on Yulia.

Who would've thought... People do change.

A lot of times, people do things they don't mean to. They couldn't help doing things they shouldn't.

Minerva thought she should just let things be. Since both of them weren't around, she should quickly go home.

Lest Maddox wouldn't let her come out on her own if she went back late.
