Female Novel
Chapter 419
The sudden voice stunned everyone. Who was it?
Minerva was very familiar with this voice. A tall figure was seen standing in front of her, seeming tohave resisted thousands of troops for her.
Maddox...
Why was he here?
Nickolas was originally helpless about Emily's character, so he spoke up for Minerva. However,never did he expect that Maddox would suddenly appear and even blamed him.
Nickolas's expression changed at once.
Emily became angry when she heard this, but the next second she stared at the man who came outall a sudden.
The man had a compelling aura. His black eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and his handsomeface was extremely attractive. However, at this moment, he looked at her sarcastically. His gaze fellon her with frost-like coldness.
Emily somehow felt her image instantly shorten.
He had pulled Minerva behind him. She was petite compared with Maddox. Out of the blue, Emilyfelt dissatisfied in her heart. Why?
She was just an ordinary staff member. Why was there such an outstanding man protecting her?
As she thought of this, she said furiously, "Sir, please observe the situation first before commentinganything. It was this woman who first collided with our car and even wanted to call the police. She
dropped her cell phone to the ground and asked me to pick it up for her. Is this reasonable?"
"Oh?" Maddox raised his eyebrows and sneered. Before he could speak, Nickolas, who was besideEmily, glowered in fury and walked up to pull Emily aside. "Stop talking! You can't afford to offendthis person!"
After listening to his words, Emily threw a tantrum. "Why can't I provoke him? Nickolas, all of themare bullying me, yet you are not on my side! Now, I'm telling you both, you can't live in the North Cityanymore if you get into trouble with us!"
The Quartley family was influential in the North City. Emily was pleased to have a man like Nickolas.
Besides, Nickolas was submissive to her all the time. If anyone angered her, she could just tell theperson off.
"Emily! Shut up!" Nickolas had a sour expression on his face, and his eyes glistened with rage.Emily was startled by his reaction and her eyes reddened. "Nickolas, what's wrong with you? Did Isay anything wrong? They provoked us like this; we just wanted them not to hang on in North City.You used to love me very much. Why are you mad at me now?"
Nickolas was struck by Maddox's aura and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Although the Quartley family had a high status in the North City, it was far inferior to theimpregnable Yardley Corporation. No one could afford to offend them.
Especially after Maddox took over the business of the Yardley Corporation.
Who would dare to provoke such a vicious and merciless man like him? Wouldn't that be diggingtheir own graves?
Nickolas ignored Emily and swiftly walked to Maddox in a cold sweat.
"Young Master Yardley, Emily is not being sensible. She was blabbering nonsense just now. Don'tfind fault with her."
"Nonsense?" Maddox scorned. "If it wasn't for you supporting her, would she dare to say such athing? Nickolas, it seems that the Quartley family wishes to go against the Yardley Corporation.”
When he heard Maddox, Nickolas went white in shock.novelbin
"Young Master Yardley, you have misunderstood me. How could the Quartley family go againstYardley Corporation? We haven't had any business dealings with each other. Moreover... thewoman behind you."
Nickolas secretly glanced at Minerva, who was standing behind Maddox.
"If you take one more look, I will gouge your eyes out," Maddox reprimanded him indifferently.
Nickolas immediately withdrew his gaze. At first glance, he could tell that there was somethingdifferent about Minerva. Judging by her gaze and aura, she had a noble temperament compared toother people. Thus, he did not want to make things difficult for her. Unexpectedly, Emily wouldcause such a scene and got Maddox and Yardley Corporation involved!
Minerva, who was blocked by Maddox, was at a loss for words.
What was going on? Why would Maddox suddenly appear here? Hadn't she already said goodbyeto him? He should be in the company at this time.
Could it be that... he had followed her all the way here?
"Did he witness the embarrassing scene?"
Furthermore, Minerva was rendered speechless when she heard him mention the YardleyCorporation. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to pull Maddox's sleeve.
Maddox was in a rage, yet he paused after noticing her gesture. He then turned and saw Minervastaring at him. "Mr. Yardley, this matter has nothing to do with you. I can handle it myself."
She spoke in a soft voice. Maddox felt pleased about this.
After all, she didn't embarrass him on the spot. As he thought of this, Maddox sneered, "The wayyou handle it is to allow that woman to slander you and make trouble, isn't it?"
Minerva was tongue-tied.
Had she been given the cold-shoulder?
When Maddox was talking to Minerva, Nickolas was observing from the side. The cold man in thebusiness industry like Maddox who had never been close to women was actually protecting thiswoman at this moment. Furthermore, when he lowered his head to speak to her, he even met hereyes with a gentle gaze.
It had been said that he had never been close to any woman. However, he had lookedaffectionately at her while talking to her, not to mention bringing in the entire Yardley Corporationtrying to protect her.
It was likely that this woman held a special place in Maddox's heart.
As Nickolas thought of this, he immediately felt that he would be in deep trouble. If the YardleyCorporation was to really attack the Quartley family...
There would be terrible consequences.
Maddox felt at ease when he saw that Minerva did not answer him back. He curled his lips. "Justwait. I'll deal with it."
Minerva was totally dumbfounded.
Could she refuse him? She didn't want to have anything to do with Maddox at all. If he helped her insuch a manner, wouldn't she owe him a favor?
Minerva was in a predicament.
"Nickolas, who exactly is he? Why are you so afraid of him?" Emily was not convinced about it. Sheapproached to hold Nickolas's arm with bloodshot eyes, weeping. "I don't want to make thingsdifficult for you anymore. Ask her to apologize and then compensate us for the car repair fees,alright?"
Nickolas broke out in a cold sweat. Did she want to demand an apology from Maddox's woman?That was unlikely to happen.
"Apologize? Ah, you really should be the one to apologize." Maddox snorted and looked at Emily'sface. "Pick up the phone and come over to apologize to her."
His domineering tone terrified the crowd.
They soon realized that they were too afraid to speak ever since Maddox appeared at the scene.
"Forget it." Minerva was a forgiving person. Moreover, she was not bothered about these kinds ofthings anymore. If things went on in such a way, she might really owe Maddox a big favor.
