Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) -
Chapter 327
As soon as she walked to the door, Mrs. Shell saw a group of men standing outside, and all of them were unfamiliar. Her face immediately changed, and she shouted, "Erica, close the door!" Erica couldn't react in time. Thus, Mrs. Shell quickly reached out to close the door.
However, their movements were too slow. One of the men had already taken a step forward and blocked the door.
Mrs. Shell tried but she couldn't close the door. She was so frightened that she stumbled backwards. When she saw that Erica was still standing foolishly by the door, she quickly stepped forward and pulled Erica back. She then shouted, "What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, I don't have money! If you want money, you should look for my daughter, who is the Yardley family's Second Young Madam. She can give you a lot of money."
After hearing the words "Yardley family's Second Young Madam", the leader, who was a noble and reserved man, frowned slightly as he said, "What did you say?"
Mrs. Shell was dazed for a moment and she squinted her eyes. "What? You don't believe me? You are here to ask for money, aren't you? I have said that I don't have any money. My eldest daughter is the Young Madam of the Yardley family. She can give you as much money as you want." "Mom." Erica looked at the leader of those men, and after thinking for a while, she said, "They're probably not those kinds of people. Stop talking nonsense."
After that, Erica gently pushed Mrs. Shell away and stepped forward as she greeted with a smile, "I'm sorry, my mother hasn't been feeling well these past two days. May I ask who you are?"
"Clatter..."
At this time, a woman in high-heeled shoes came out from behind the crowd. After learning about the scene, she smiled slightly and answered, "Miss Shell, sorry for the inconvenience, but we don't have any ill intentions. We are not here to collect any debts either. Please don't worry."
After that, Juliette handed over her business card, saying, "My name is Juliette Shaprio."
Erica took the business card with suspicion. When she knew that this woman was the secretary of Quill, the Hanover Corporation's President, her eyes lit up.
If the Yardley Corporation was the most famous and successful company in North City, then Hanover Corporation was just a tad bit inferior to the Yardley Corporation. As long as they became more powerful, they would be able to compete with the Yardley Corporation. However, Yardley Corporation was still under the control of Maddox. Therefore, Hanover Corporation remained somewhat inferior to them. Nonetheless, this did not affect the status of Hanover Corporation in North City.
Moreover, Kimberly used to be good friends with Sylvia. Erica envied Sylvia so much at that time, as she was the lost daughter of Hanover Corporation. Erica even fantasized that one day, someone would come to her and tell her that she was the daughter of some successful group and that she should go with them and inherit the group.
How wonderful it would be.
"Nice to meet you." Realizing that she was the secretary of the Hanover Corporation, Erica's attitude immediately changed. She held the business card nervously, and then looked at the elegant man in the crowd.
"What can I do for you?"
Juliette smiled slightly and her gaze fell on Mrs. Shell who was not far behind Erica. "We would like to talk to Mrs. Shell."
Only then did Mrs. Shell realize that the other party was not here to collect debts. She had been afraid of being chased by debt collectors lately. Therefore, when she saw them standing at the door, she was frightened. Subconsciously, she felt that they were here to ask for payment.
However, who would've thought...
"Erica, do you know them?"
After that, Mrs. Shell also looked suspiciously at the man's face.
He was dressed in a dark suit. His figure was very muscular and he had a handsome face. The reserved and noble temperament he presented didn't seem like that of an ordinary person's. Only those who had been in a high position for a long time would have such temperament.
After knowing that they were not here to collect debts, Mrs. Shell immediately had a different attitude.
"We have guests. Please take a seat. Erica, hurry up and prepare some tea for the guests."
Erica reacted and immediately nodded with a smile. She replied, "Sure, Mom. I'll prepare them right away."
Erica went to prepare some tea while Mrs. Shell invited Quill in to have a seat.
Quill's face was expressionless. From entering the door to him sitting down, there was no fluctuation in the emotions of his eyes. When Erica came to deliver the tea, she deliberately leaned against him. Quill frowned slightly and avoided her touch without her noticing.
"So, are these two her family members?" He thought.
Quill lifted his eyes slightly and swept his sharp and cold eyes over Erica and Mrs. Shell.
It was a huge difference from what he had imagined.
After all, Kimberly was completely different from the two who were in front of him.
Juliette was Quill's secretary and a smart person. How could she not notice the change in attitude of both Erica and Mrs. Shell?
"Mrs. Shell, to be frank, President Hanover has some questions for you, but..." She glanced at Erica and smiled faintly, "These are private questions. Can we ask Miss Shell to wait outside for a while?" Hearing this, Erica and Mrs. Shell's faces changed. Then, after exchanging looks, Erica quickly sat down beside Mrs. Shell and pursed her red lips as she exclaimed, "I'm her daughter. Is there anything I can't know? Or has my mother done anything wrong? Then, I'll apologize on her behalf. Please don't give my mother a hard time."
Mrs. Shell held her lovely daughter tightly, and she was very moved in her heart. "That's right. Erica is my daughter. There is nothing she can't know of. If there's anything, just say it."
Quill was silent, but there was obviously a slight change in his aura. His eyes calmly fell on Erica's face as he said, "Miss Shell, you've misunderstood my intentions. I just want to ask Mrs. Shell a few questions and it's not because she has offended us. Therefore, Miss Shell, do you mind giving us some space?"
His eyes seemed to have some magical powers. When his eyes met Erica's, she immediately felt as if she had been completely mesmerized by him. Initially, she wanted to stay behind to have a longer look at him. However, now, her thoughts had already been sent flying by his deep voice. Then, she nodded her head shyly under his gaze.
"Well then, please excuse me, Mr. Hanover. Mom, I'll go out to buy some drinks. I'll be right back."
How could Mrs. Shell not know what her daughter was thinking? She knew Erica had a boyfriend. Thus, she wondered how Erica could behave like this in front of other men? However... although her boyfriend was rich, when compared to the man in front of them, it was simply the difference between heaven and earth...
Therefore, Mrs. Shell began to plan in her mind again.
Then, she nodded with a smile and said, "Go ahead. Remember to come back early."
After Erica left, Mrs. Shell looked at Quill with a bright smile and said, "Mr. Hanover, you are free to ask me the questions now."
Quill's eyes were calm. After a long while, he glanced over at Juliette.
Juliette immediately understood. She took out the photograph that they had prepared beforehand and placed it on the table.
