Female Novel
Chapter 456
As soon as Minerva spoke, Helen froze in motion, half standing. It was such an amusing scene.
Everyone else couldn't hold back their laughter. Despite that, Minerva walked over with a solemnexpression.
She glanced around, then pulled out a wet tissue to wipe off the grease on Helen's hands. Helenpanicked at the sight of Minerva's actions.
The dress had been given to her by Minerva. It was her precious work.
However, Helen had totally overlooked that fact. She suddenly felt a little guilty and maintained herposture.
After Minerva wiped her hands, she nonchalantly said, "I'm done."
Helen put down her hand. Jackson dashed over as well. "I told you to stop eating, yet you didn'tlisten to me."
Helen looked at Minerva with a remorseful look. "I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose just now. Youwon't be mad at me, right? I was just glad that you came to the event, so I thought of greeting you."
"I'm not mad at you." Minerva shook her head indifferently. "I didn't know you when I designed thisdress. Thus, I had no knowledge of your measurements. I didn't expect it to be about the same sizeas yours. However, if you continue eating, the outfit might not fit you anymore."
Upon hearing her words, Helen's expression changed, and she said to the people around her atonce.
"Who sent this to me? I didn't even request for it. Why don't you quickly take all these out?"
She hurriedly threw the plate away before tugging at Minerva's hand with a smile on her face.
In spite of that, Minerva took a step back to distance herself from Helen. The smile on Helen's facefroze. "Shelly?"
"You have to be very careful with your dress. Stay put and don't move about before you go onstage.Take extra care that it doesn't get hooked on anything." Minerva's dress had a zip, and that was thereason why she stepped away from Helen.
"Alright then. I promise you that I won't mess around again. I'll just sit and wait until I go onstage."With that, Helen ran to the sofa and sat down obediently. The food on the table was taken out fromthe room in no time.
Jackson couldn't resist coughing when he witnessed the scene. He hadn't expected Helen to listento Minerva that much.
After all, Helen was idolized by many people. Yet, in spite of that, she was a big fan of Minerva.
He didn't see it coming.
Minerva checked her outfit. After confirming that her dress was okay, she said, "Alright, wait here fora while. You'll be going onstage later. Do you best."
After hearing her words, Helen nodded vigorously. "Don't worry. I will make you proud. By the way,do you know Yvonne? That woman is so fortunate. Someone actually purchased the dress for her."
Minerva paused and looked at Helen.
"What did you say?"
"Are you surprised about that too?" Helen shrugged her shoulders. "She takes advantage of the factthat she is a well-known celebrity. Apparently, she always makes verbal agreements without payingthe deposit. Even though she has a bad character, many brands are too afraid to offend her.However, apparently she pulled this trick with an international brand, and they did not tolerate herbehaviour. Hence, it was sold to someone else. We thought that Yvonne would get into trouble thistime, yet a man bought it for her. I was pissed off to hear that."
As she spoke, Helen was indignant. "She's so dumb. Why did the man even do that for her? Lovemust really be blind."
She seemed agitated as she spoke.
However, Minerva was a little puzzled.
"What the hell is going on?"
Vera had clearly told her that she had asked Quill to buy the gown, but why did Yvonne receive thegown?
Had Quill gifted Yvonne the dress?
No.novelbin
That was impossible.
Quill was not a person who would involve himself in such petty matters.
Moreover, he cherished Minerva the most. If Vera told Quill that the dress suited Minerva well, thenQuill would never give the dress to anyone else.
But what was happening? Who had given the dress to Yvonne?
Was Vera going to be disappointed to hear that?
As soon as Minerva thought of it, she suddenly stood up.
"I've been here for a long time. I have to go back now."
After listening to her words, Helen blinked, saying, "Are you leaving that quickly? I thought youwould stay with me longer. Well, Mr. Jackson, please guide her back."
"There's no need to do that." Minerva shook her head. "I have a good sense of direction. I know theway back. You do your best tonight."
"Don't worry! I will try my best to outshine Yvonne!"
After bidding goodbye to Helen, Minerva walked back. When she entered the site, she realized thatthe lights were no longer as dim as before. Apparently, they had turned off the lights in theauditorium previously for theatrics.
Thus, she could see clearly as she walked forward. Minerva walked towards her seat but as sheneared it.
From where she was standing she could see Vera and Kelly at the left of her seat.
However, a tall and slender man sat to the right of her seat.
The man... was someone she knew.
It was the person whom Minerva thought was least likely to appear in that place - Maddox!
Why was he there? And why was he sitting next to her? A million questions rushed through hermind.
Minerva was rooted to the spot.
What was going on?
No wonder she felt familiar about the man in the darkness.
"What are you doing? You are blocking my view."
Someone complained behind her. Minerva instantly regained her senses. She had no choice but tomove forward. She had to pass through Maddox to return to her seat.
She distinctly recognized him at that moment. She thought that Maddox would make way for her.Never did she expect that he would stay still.
Minerva forced herself to say softly, "Mr. Yardley, would you please move your foot?"
Maddox glanced at her, raising his eyebrows without a word. He merely nudged his feet a little.
Meanwhile, Vera witnessed the entire scene nervously.
She had been shocked to discover Maddox when the lights turned on. She had sensed that he wasthere to pester Minerva so she wanted to send Minerva a text message. Nevertheless, as soon asshe had taken out her phone, he shot her a malevolent gaze, forcing her to pocket her phone infear.
Minerva initially thought that she would be able to make it to her seat. Nonetheless, her heelssuddenly broke. Losing her balance, she fell to the side.
