"They're really weird. You're just a fashion designer. What news can they possibly get from you? I don't think they'll be able to sell any magazines about you. It would be better for them to stalk some new celebrities. At least those celebrities might be famous in the future. They could save the photos for later, don't you think so too?"

Vera gave Minerva brutally commented, looking smug.

Minerva stopped in her tracks and turned over her shoulder to stare at Vera.

Vera would often tease Minerva but the latter would ignore it. Yet, Vera's heart skipped a beat when Minerva suddenly stopped to glance at her. Vera replied instinctively, "Kimberly, don't look at me like this. I'm scared..."

Vera realized what she said and her face changed. She held her hands over her mouth and averted her gaze hurriedly.

"It... It wasn't me. I didn't say anything."

The name made Minerva recall her past.

Back then, there were countless people who called her by that name. However... It had been years since she last heard it.

Vera's remarks made Minerva recall a lot of memories of when she was Kimberly. Minerva was rooted to the spot. Suddenly, she heard a sweet voice. "Auntie Vera, who's Kimberly?"

Beanie's question made Minerva regain her composure. She glanced at her son and caressed his head. "Stop asking so many questions. Let's go."

She held Beanie's hand and strode off. Vera knew that she had said the wrong thing, hence she walked after them quietly.

After a few moments, Vera murmured tentatively, "Umm, Minerva... I didn't mean to do that. I wasn't thinking..."

"Vera, call and check if our car is here."

Immediately, Vera came back to her senses and nodded. "Okay, just a minute."

Coincidentally, she received a phone call after getting her mobile phone. She picked it up, hurriedly, "Hello? Secretary Sharpio, where are you?"

Concurrently, Minerva walked away and said, "She's here. Let's go."

Vera turned to look in Minerva's direction and spotted Secretary Sharpio nearby.

It had been a long time since they last met. Juliette was in her usual smart attire. The light makeup made her look energetic. She held a handbag and waved at them. Minerva walked over and immediately, Nash hurried forward to receive her luggage.

"Miss Hanover, welcome back."

"Good day, Nash." Minerva smiled at him. She gestured to her son and introduced, "Beanie, he's Mr. Nash."

Beanie was sharp-witted and he greeted, "Mr. Nash, nice to meet you. I hope you're doing well."

It was the first time for Nash to meet Beanie. Beanie's greetings delighted Nash. The wrinkles on his face were showing as he beamed.

"You must be Young Master Bruno. What a clever child."

Vera came over to poke Beanie's shoulder. "Very clever, huh?"

Beanie turned around and made a face at Vera discreetly.

Juliette sighed when she saw Beanie, "I haven't seen him for two years but he's so tall now..."

"Sis Juliette, you've gotten prettier!"

Juliette chuckled, "Boy... You're a sweet talker."

"I know, right? When he grows up, I wonder how many girls will fall for his tricks." Vera criticized Beanie but he was not angry. On the contrary, he was grinning. Whenever Vera stared at Beanie's face, she would feel like she was staring at her former employer, but... Beanie was just an adorable splitting image of that man. Moreover, both of them had different expressions.

Even though Beanie resembled that man, the man was always cold and unapproachable but... Beanie was always smiling. Furthermore, Minerva took good care of him, hence he had fleshy cheeks. He looked like a meatball and... Vera was tempted to pinch his cheeks!

Yeah!

She wanted to pinch his cheeks!

Alas.

Vera extended her arm to pinch Beanie's cheek and sighed, "It's so soft! It's softer than the seal pillow I bought online. It's a good stress ball!"

Vera exerted more strength and she nearly squashed Beanie's face.

However, there were reporters and passersby, thus Beanie dared not fight back. He could only turn to Minerva and begged bitterly, "Mommy, save me..."

Minerva noticed that her son's face was going to get squashed, hence she spoke, "Vera..."

Finally, Vera let go and scoffed, "Humph, I'll let you go for now. I'll just pinch you when we get back!"

As soon as she let go, Beanie immediately ran to hide behind Minerva fearfully.

"Alright, let's talk after getting into the car. The reporters are watching us," Juliette reminded as Vera messed with Beanie.

They got into the car.

Beanie sat next to Minerva. He hugged her arm tightly and stared at Vera warily.

He was afraid that she would pinch his cheeks again. Humph! He was so adorable but what if Auntie Vera ruined his looks?

"Miss Minerva, after hearing that you're coming back, Mr. Hanover turned down a lot of work. He's planning to spend a few days with you."

"My brother?" Minerva's eyes were glowing. She looked out of the car window and asked, "He's so busy. If he turned down all the work, then the company would suffer a few billion dollars' loss, right?" Juliette chuckled, "To Mr. Hanover, you're more important than a few billion dollars."

"What?" Before Minerva could speak, Vera exclaimed, "It has been five years but he's still not married? He prioritizes his sister?"

Minerva was worried about her brother too.

Back then, Quill was desperate to replace his sister. Moreover, he did not really care about having a relationship.

After replaceing his sister, he only focused on her, hence he did not have the mood to think about anything else.

Therefore... In the blink of an eye, Quill was almost forty but he was still single.

Although he was almost forty, members of the Hanover family had good looks. He looked like a mature and successful man in his early thirties. During the five years, Juliette had gotten married and she had an extremely cute daughter.
