Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 544

The two of them walked backstage and their voices gradually became flirty.

"Manager, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me... Then, I'll explain it to you at your house tonight, okay?"

"You are so annoying..."

When other employees saw this scene, they weren't surprised. It was as if they hadn't seen anything.

They were used to seeing Sylvia hooking up with many men.

Fifteen minutes later, after dealing with the restaurant manager, Sylvia went to the bathroom to clean up. When she was halfway through, she suddenly raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror.

The lady of the Hanover family, who was once dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, had now become a down and out waitress of a restaurant. She was only paid a meager salary every month, which was no enough for her to spend.

Hence... She chose to sell her own body.

She fooled around with the manager and she got a salary about two times higher than others. She felt proud and felt that she was better than other people in the restaurant.

Until this day, when she saw what the woman looked like on the screen.

After five years, Sylvia's status had dropped to such a state, yet that woman had remained enchanting.

Thinking of this, Sylvia clenched her hands into fists. Although her long fingernails were stabbing into her flesh, she didn't feel any pain. Instead, she looked at herself in the mirror and gnashed her teeth in anger.

"Kimberly Shell!"

At first, Sylvia only mentioned her name with hatred, but later, she probably went crazy and started shouting madly. Then, Sylvia also scratched her blood-stained nails against the mirror, making an extremely ear- piercing sound.

A trail of blood was imprinted on the mirror. It looked especially terrifying in the toilet that was not very bright in the first place.

Minerva looked for Beanie for a long time before replaceing him. She realized that instead of staying in the lobby, Beanie was on the swing in the yard. He even wore a cartoon mask on his face.

Although his face was covered, the mask, together with the little suit he wore, made him look even more adorable.

Upon seeing this, Minerva couldn't help but stop walking. She then took out her phone and took a picture of Beanie. Click...

As soon as the shutter made a sound, Beanie turned his head towards the phone, and his pair of black eyes looked over. "Mommy?" His lips moved. It seemed that he was about to get off the swing.

"Wait a minute!" Minerva called out to stop him. Her lips perked up slightly. "Wait! Let me take a few pictures of you first."

After that, Beanie really didn't move, as he sat there obediently, waiting for Minerva to finish taking pictures.

Minerva walked over and took a few pictures of Beanie.

Beanie was very photogenic. He followed Minerva's camera and posed charmingly in front of the shutter. He even gave weird faces. Minerva couldn't help laughing and was amused by him.

As soon as she put away her cell phone, Beanie jumped off the swing and ran over to hug her. "Mommy."

Minerva reached out her hand and patted his head with affection.

In fact, when she noticed that Beanie was wearing a mask on his face, she was relieved.

If Beanie had worn the mask the whole night, Maddox wouldn't be able to recognize him even if they met.

As for Beanie, he was only a five-year-old child after all, thus he would not bother to observe the appearance of other people at all. Even if he did, at most he would only wonder why that person looked very similar to him and would not pursue the matter.

Therefore, she felt relieved, but she still couldn't help asking in a low voice.

"Have you been sitting on the swing all this time? Did you not go anywhere else?"

"Other places? What do you mean, Mommy?" Beanie raised his head and looked at her curiously with his dark eyes.

Such a pure gaze made Minerva feel guilty. She coughed lightly and looked away. "Just anywhere else? It has been so long. Aren't you bored, sitting here all this time?"

Beanie pouted and said, "Mommy, I'm not bored. I met a lot of people here."

"You met a lot of people?"

"Yep! At first, there were a lot of people who wanted to take pictures of me, but you told me not to let strangers take pictures casually."

"And then?" Seeing how seriously he was speaking, Minerva became curious. She bent down and pinched his soft chin before asking.

"Then, I told them off. I told them that they can't simply take pictures of me, or my mommy will make them pay."

"Pfft." Hearing Beanie speak so seriously, Minerva couldn't help but laugh out loud. She pinched his soft little ears again, "You described me as someone very fierce. How could I possibly make them pay? At most... You should accuse them of violating your portrait rights and make them compensate you."

"Humph, you are so bad!" Beanie snorted and poked Minerva's fair cheek at the same time. Then he continued, "But they didn't manage to take the photos. At first, they were bad as they didn't listen to me and took the photos forcibly! But later, an uncle helped me."

"Huh?"

At first, Minerva didn't think of it from other aspects, thus she smiled and asked, "Did you thank him?"

Beanie nodded to express yes.

But after a while, he added, "But that uncle is so strange..."

"Strange?" Minerva was puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"He was wearing a mask like me."

Beanie suddenly said that nonchalantly. When Minerva heard this, she felt her heart skip a beat and her heart almost jumped out of her throat. At the same time, her eyelids also twitched violently. "What did you just say? The person who helped you, was wearing a mask?"

Beanie nodded with a hum.

"Yes. What's wrong? I..." It was only then that Beanie noticed that Minerva was holding a metal mask in her hand. "Mommy, your mask looks a little similar to that uncle's mask. Do you know that uncle?" Minerva went speechless.

She didn't answer Beanie's question. She crouched down as if she had been tranquilized and didn't move at all.

A chill rose from the soles of her feet, almost spreading instantly all over her body. It made her feel cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

She had never expected that they would meet each other.

No, she should have been more cautious in the first place, but still, she failed to do so when it came to Maddox.

What on earth did he want? Why did he help Beanie while wearing a mask?

Was this matter intentional?

Minerva's lips also turned pale. Did Maddox... already know Beanie's identity? Was it really such a coincidence that this matter occurred during this banquet?

Or, did he already know, and he just wanted to play along with them?

If that was the case, then... What should she do in the future?
