Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 457

Vera and Kelly, who were sitting there, saw this scene. They were so scared that their faces turnedpale. Their eyes were wide open, staring in disbelief.

Everything happened so suddenly that even Minerva did not expect that her heels would suddenlybreak at that time. Furthermore, there was nothing around her that she could grab onto for support,so she fell uncontrollably to the side.novelbin

She thought that she might hit her head on something, so she subconsciously reached out toprotect her own face and head.

However, just as she moved her hands, she was held by someone firmly.

In the next second, she fell into Maddox's arms.

Vera and Kelly were stunned into silence; it was as if their shocked expressions had stopped intime.

Minerva thought that she would end up getting hurt badly, but she didn't get hurt at all. Instead, shefell into a warm embrace. Maddox's strong, masculine aura had completely wrapped around her.His hand that was clutching her wrist also then gripped her waist. Then, he grabbed her chin withone hand and lifted her head up.

"Are you okay?" His voice was anxious and his face was pale as he seemed to be frightened.

Minerva's fear was still lingering. Her heart throbbed as she shook her head subconsciously.

"I, I'm fine."

Maddox stared at her for a long while. Then, he suddenly stretched out his hands and pulled herinto his embrace.

Bang!

Just at this time, the stage's lighting in the audience area was turned off again for the sake of thelighting effect and the surrounding area was plunged into darkness.

It was very quiet all around. It was so quiet that Minerva could hear her own heartbeat and shecould also hear the heartbeat of the other person.

She was held tightly in Maddox's arms and the heat from his body passed on to her, surroundingher with warmth. Maddox tightened his arms and held her closer. He was so strong that hisembrace almost crushed her bones.

But... for some reason, Minerva didn't push him away.

At that moment, she suddenly felt Maddox's nervousness towards her.

When he caught her just now, his slightly pale face showed that he was worried for her.

The music rang and it was a particularly quiet ding-dong sound. Every sound knocked on Minerva'sheart, one after another, as if it was hitting on her heart.

The person who was holding her also stopped moving for a moment. After a long time, he loweredhis head, and his thin lips seemed to have kissed her hair.

This clear sense of touch made Minerva's senses become sensitive in an instant. She suddenlycame back to her senses and realised that she was still in Maddox's arms. When she thought ofwhat he had said to her before, she broke away from Maddox's hug.

"Thank you, Mr. Yardley."

Minerva was still in a state of shock while she found her seat and sat down. Then, she felt annoyedto find that her heel had broken.

What was going on? Why was the quality of this shoe so terrible?

Thinking of this, Minerva pursed her lips. When she was thinking about what she would do if hershoe was broken, Maddox's deep voice was heard.

"It's useless to just say thank you with your mouth."

The warm breath had already reached the back of her ears, and Minerva slightly frowned, furrowingher eyebrows.

She bit her lower lip and pretended not to hear Maddox's words.

After that, the activities on the stage began, and the audience area was still in the dark. Everyonewas sitting down quietly. Vera and Kelly who were sitting beside Minerva probably were still inshock, so they kept silent.

If Minerva hadn't known that they were sitting by her side, she might have thought that she was theonly one there!

Time passed by and the prelude show on the stage had ended. The scene then fell into silenceagain.

Minerva estimated the time in her heart. At this time, it would be Helen and Yvonne's turn to go upthe stage.

The brand had arranged for them to show up at the same time, so that there would be a good showto watch later.

Minerva couldn't help but glance in Vera's direction.

She came here that day to see if Yvonne would make a fool out of herself. However, the news shegot was that the skirt she bought at full price was sent to Yvonne. This matter was not known byMinerva.

But...Vera might be really disappointed that night.

With the sound of background music starting to play, Yvonne and Helen slowly appeared in themiddle of the stage, one standing on each side.

In order to match the starry dress worn by Helen, the brand gave her the most special star design ofthe year while Yvonne was provided with the one according to the original agreement.

Along with the shouts from the audience fan area, the atmosphere at the scene was pushed to peakpoint.

Yvonne and Helen's appearances became more apparent under the shine of the light. Minerva thensaw Yvonne's dress. It was bright red and completely different from Helen's starry blue dress.

Equally satisfactory outcomes were both achieved but with different approaches.

At that moment, a huge tremor came from her side.

It turned out that Vera directly stood up from the audience seating. She looked at the skirt onYvonne with agitation. Her eyes were shining and she thought, how could this be?

"Who is it? Why are you suddenly standing up?" Someone complained from behind them. Minervathen quickly pulled Vera down.

After Vera sat down, she was filled with grievances. She then grabbed Minerva's arm instead andgritted her teeth in anger, "Minerva, what's going on? That dress..."

Minerva had long heard Helen mention it, so she was very calm at that moment. She said softly,"This is the end of the matter. Even if you have any doubts, let's talk about it after everything isover."

Vera was furious, but after hearing Minerva's words, she could only suppress the anger in her heart.However, she was not in the mood anymore after she sat down.

Minerva obviously knew that she was angry now, but things had already developed to this extent.There was nothing else she could do to change it. She could only say in a low voice, "Don't beangry, we'll talk about it later."

The lights were turned on all the way to the end because there was an interview session.

The media reporters asked questions to the two of them on stage, and then they took pictures forfive minutes.

Taking advantage of the crowd, Vera said angrily, "What's going on? That skirt was obviouslybought already, wasn't it? Why was she wearing it? What the hell is going on? Minerva!"

Minerva remembered what Helen had told her, so she passed the message on to Vera.

"That's how things went. As for the rest, I don't know much about it."

"F**k! That's impossible! Quill was the one who bought the dress. Did Quill give it to Yvonne? F**k!Why does he have such poor taste? How could he give the dress to Yvonne?"

Minerva answered, "It's not him. This matter is a little complicated. Let's just talk about it later andsee how things go."

Although Vera was very angry, she did not ask any more questions after hearing what Minerva said.She just gloomily assumed that if Quill was the one who gave the dress to Yvonne, then... Shewould not regard him as Prince Charming anymore in the future.

"My Prince Charming will never do such a low-standard thing!"

At this time, the question and answer session on the stage had begun.

Some people might have wanted to stir up some drama, so they asked Yvonne an explosivequestion.

"Miss Arnold, I heard that you attended today's press conference because you like this jewelrybrand. However, if you like this brand so much, why did you have to wear such a high quality fakedress to attend?"
