Female Novel
Chapter 438
Minerva put down the plate in her hand heavily, her expression hardened.
"You've gone too far."
"If you still don't take your health seriously, I will go even further. Do you believe what I say?" Veraput down the plate in her hand as well, looking at Minerva seriously.
Vera wore a stern look on her face; one could tell that she was not joking.
"Let me tell you, Minerva, you can keep drawing when you are inspired, but it doesn't mean that youcan lock yourself in the room and draw without eating for the whole day. Who do you think you are?You are simply too irresponsible to be a mother. Or do you think you don't need to rest? You haveserious gastric problems, yet you don't take them seriously. If you pass on due to this illness, I willsend Beanie away to others so don't ever regret it!"
Minerva was at a loss for words.
Vera had totally crossed the line.
But... Minerva wasn't mad with her.
She even thought that Vera was right.
She couldn't bear the thought of Beanie lying at her bedside pitifully, waiting for her the night before.
Hence, she remained silent. Instead, she picked up her plate and cutleries again and ate quietly.
Seeing her in such a manner, Vera couldn't resist sneering, "You're at fault, aren't you? I'll see if youdare to repeat such an act in the future!"
Minerva smiled, "Vera, it's all my fault, okay? Can you take away your food? I can't bear watchingit."
"Humph, I originally wanted to provoke you more but I will spare you this time, seeing that you are insuch a pitiful state."
After that, Vera reached out and removed the mouthwatering fried food from the table.
When they were done, they came out of the hospital together.
"Is one night of hospitalization sufficient for you? Won't you take this opportunity to stay for a coupleof days?" Vera asked as they walked.
Minerva shook her head, "No, I still have some matters to attend to."
Nash drove Vera to the hospital earlier on and he was still waiting outside for them. The two calledout to Nash when they saw him and got into the car together.
Minerva asked in a deep voice when something came into her mind after they got in the car.
"How much property do I have?"
Vera was stunned by Minerva. She thought she must have heard it wrongly.
After a while, she stretched out her hand, digging into her ears.
"What did you just say?"
Minerva turned to look at her, "How much property
do I have?"
Vera was exasperated, she thought Minerva had asked a funny question. "Are you kidding me? Youdon't have much."
Hearing this, Minerva furrowed her brows.
"Well, you still have some savings, but don't you want to buy a house near the school? You mightnot be able to afford a house in that area. Our company has the money, but those are thecompany's funds. Is it..."
"No way." Before Vera could finish, she was interrupted by Minerva. "We cannot utilize thecompany's funds."
"What's wrong with you? I think your money should be enough to buy a house. Why do you askabout this all of the sudden?"
Minerva glanced at Vera and suddenly threw a bomb.
"I'm going to terminate the contract."
"What?" Vera thought she had misheard her. "Terminate... the contract? What do you mean? Doyou want to terminate the contract with Maddox?"novelbin
"Yeah," Minerva took out her phone. "That's why I have to calculate how much we'll have tocompensate if we terminate the contract."
Vera gulped, "I told you to terminate the contract before that. Great! All our efforts were in vain andyou've even been taken advantage of."
Vera didn't strongly object to her decision. Although she knew that it would cost a lump sum ofmoney to terminate the contract, she respected Minerva's choice.
The reason they remained best friends until now was because they understood each other.
"Give me your phone. You just recovered from gastric and you need to rest. I'll calculate it when weget back and let you know how much more we need."
"Alright."
Minerva nodded and put her phone away.
"By the way, Beanie..."
"Don't worry, I've entrusted him to your brother. We can pick him up this afternoon."
"Okay."
When she arrived at the company, Minerva felt a little dizzy. She almost fell to the ground when shegot out of the car. Fortunately, Vera held her up in time.
"Are you okay? Why don't you go back and rest for now?"
"No," Minerva shook her head. "Well handle the matters of the contract breach today."
Vera had no choice but to support Minerva while walking into the office. When they went in, theyhappened to bump into Zachary who arrived at work. He was wearing a white shirt, his faceexpressionless.
His lips quivered a little when he caught sight of Minerva. In the end, he walked in their directionwithout saying a word.
He walked at a fast pace with his long legs. In an instant, he surpassed the two of them, whereasMinerva was slowly walking forward while being supported by Vera.
"Tsk, Zachary is really arrogant. He didn't even bother to greet us."
Hearing Vera, Minerva smiled faintly. "It doesn't matter."
"You have such a good temper."
At first, the two of them thought that they would miss the elevator. After all, their office was only afew floors up. Minerva thought that she could wait for the next turn, but the young man in theelevator had been holding the button and staring at them callously.
"Hurry up!"
They were stunned for a moment, then quickened their pace and walked in.
After entering, Minerva leaned her back against the wall, lessening Vera's burden. Vera stoodstraight and glanced at Zachary.
"That's pretty kind of you, which I didn't expect."
Zachary paid no attention to her.
Vera glared at him without saying a word. The elevator ascended floor by floor. Soon, Zacharywalked out of the elevator. He glanced in the direction of Minerva before leaving.
The elevator continued to ascend.
"He snuck a glance at you just now, as if he was trying to say something. What's the matter withhim?"
Upon hearing Vera, Minerva came to realize it as well and blinked her eyes.
"I'm not sure, but there's no hurry. Someone will probably inform us if there's anything."
"You're right. Jessica follows Zachary everywhere. Once we arrive later, I'll get the contract rightaway to see how much we have to compensate for the breach."
Vera rushed out in a hurry, while Minerva followed her at a slow pace.
Minerva lowered her lashes, bottling up all her emotions.
After she settled the contract, they wouldn't have any more interactions, right?
Minerva heaved a sigh of relief at the thought of not crossing paths with Maddox in the future.However... deep down inside, she still felt a little hollow in her heart.
She pondered for a while and chuckled.
What was she thinking about? He was already married, and only she... remained single like a fool.
