Female Novel
Chapter 473
Although the way Janice smashed the object looked vigorous, it was still too light. It did not hitMinerva, but just fell to the edge of her feet.
Minerva lowered her head and looked at the piece of paper that had been thrown onto the floor.
That was the design she had asked Vera to send to Janice.
At that time, she had spent a long time drawing it without eating or drinking.
After a long moment of silence, Minerva bent down to pick up the design work. She calmly asked,"Miss Lowell, which part are you dissatisfied with? You can tell me so I can help you modify it, is thatokay?"
Upon hearing this, Janice sneered and said, "Modify? How dare you have the nerve to fool me withsuch work. Even if I do ask you to modify it, how else would you be able to modify it?”
Compared to the ferocious look on Janice's face, Minerva's expression was very calm. She smiledfaintly and said softly, "Miss Lowell, you can change it to whatever design you want."
"I'm afraid not." Janice crossed her arms in front of her chest and walked in front of Minerva with aface filled with disdain. "After all, people like you that always dream to take other people'spossessions, who knows, might even have stolen all these designs? Even if these clothes were tobe designed, I wouldn't dare to wear it on me. Otherwise, what happens if my name is tainted?"Minerva was speechless.
Her face instantly turned cold and she looked up at Janice with fierce eyes.
This sharp gaze froze Janice and raised a hint of fear from the bottom of her heart.
"Miss Lowell, do you know that I can sue you for defamation for what you said just now?"
Janice raised her eyebrows and said, "Defamation? You want to sue me? Did I say anything wrong?Didn't you snatch someone else's possession?"novelbin
Minerva was very sure that she came here for Maddox, but her mockery was definitely unbearable.She put away the design paper and smiled at Janice. "Then Miss Lowell, tell me, whose possessiondid I snatch? What was it?"
After listening to her words, Janice choked for a moment and she could not say a word.
"You said that I snatched something from someone, but I can't think of what I may or may not havesnatched. Maybe I need you, Miss Lowell to clarify it for me."
After a few seconds of silence, Janice suddenly said angrily, "Minerva, stop putting on an act there!How dare you say that you have not snatched anything from me!"
The more furious Janice was, the more carefree Minerva became.
She looked at Janice indifferently, as if she did not care about what she said at all. She did notadmit it either, which made Janice even angrier.
"I have said, Miss Lowell, if you think that I snatched someone else's possessions, you can say itout loud and we can discuss it. I don't accept criticisms that are just based on theories. Besides, youused to be extremely satisfied with this design but now you're unhappy with it just because ofsomething that doesn't exist. Isn't it not in line with your identity as the daughter of the Lowellfamily?"
"Are you using my status to pressure me now? Are you trying to threaten me?" Janice shouted.
"Miss Lowell, you must be joking. You're my company's client and you've even been introduced byStars Entertainment. Of course, I'll treat you well. However, at the same time, respect needs to bemutual. If you have any questions about my work, you can ask me directly instead of throwing my
efforts directly onto the floor. That's indeed very rude. And plus, if you intend to accuse me ofstealing from someone, it's better if you can tell me clearly what you are referring to."
Her speech was neither too fast nor too slow; it was neither too humble, nor too arrogant. Sheseemed very well-mannered.
Janice was indeed the daughter of a rich family. She was usually very well-mannered as well.However, this time, she was really angry which was why she had behaved like that.
She knew that she shouldn't be doing that, but when she saw Minerva's beautiful face and the coldand seductive way she had looked at her...
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said, "Well, since you are so shameless and still unwillingto admit what you have done, then I'll tell you clearly. That day when you appeared when we weregoing on a blind date, was that on purpose? Did you know that I was dating Maddox?"
Upon hearing this, Minerva frowned slightly. "If I knew that you were on a blind date that day, then Iwouldn't have gone over. Plus, Miss Lowell, we had made an appointment that day. Do you think Iknew you were going on a blind date with Maddox when you were the one who had scheduled tomeet me? You are saying that I already know that you are dating Maddox. Do you really think I havethe ability to predict the future?"
Janice's face changed!
That day, she did indeed make an appointment with Minerva to see the designs in the afternoon.However, she went on a blind date all of a sudden. Thus, she was so excited that she hadcompletely forgotten about it.
Thinking of this, she bit her lower lip and defended herself. "So what? Even if you didn't know aboutit then, why did you keep appearing afterwards? You are clearly concocting a plot for him. Now that
you have done harm to us, I just didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Clearly I am your client,how can you snatch your client's boyfriend?!"
"Boyfriend?" Minerva repeated this sentence and looked at Janice meaningfully.
Being looked at like that by her, Janice suddenly felt a little guilty. When she went on the blind datewith Maddox, he had never been satisfied. He had no feelings for her at all. However, Janice feltthat if she was able to get such a man successfully, she would become the happiest woman alive.Therefore, she was not willing to believe the truth.
Plus, a man like Maddox, who was a diamond bachelor and who had treated women casually, howcould she not be tempted?
Many women wanted to be that special one for him.
Janice was obviously one of those women.
She felt that her own charm was great, but... When Maddox was carrying Minerva in his arms at thepress conference, the determined look in his eyes made it seem as if he was telling everyone...
That Minerva was his woman, and no one was allowed to touch her!
Janice thought that obviously she should have been the woman that he held in his arms, but... ThisMinerva standing in front of her had taken her rightful place.
"Miss Lowell, if I remember correctly, you just said that you were going on a blind date with him andyou didn't say that he was your boyfriend, did you?"
"So what? He was my blind date and sooner or later he will become my boyfriend, but what are youdoing? You actually snatched him away!"
"Miss Lowell." Minerva stared at her seriously. "You're an adult, aren't you? I don't think I have toteach you that if something belongs to you, then no one would be able to take it away from you.Clearly, he's not yours; he's just your blind date. You said that I snatched him away. Did I take theinitiative to talk to him? Or did I seduce him? If I am not remembering wrongly, it was you who tookthe initiative to invite me over instead, right?"
Speaking up to this point, the corner of Minerva's red lips curled up slightly. There was a hint ofmockery in them.
"I'm afraid you thought that he was interested in my designs. That was why you invited me overright? Unfortunately, I think you have gotten the wrong understanding of his words."
Janice didn't expect that Minerva could directly speak whatever she had in her heart so accurately.Janice's face turned pale at once; it was an interesting sight.
