Chapter 508

"The truth?" Not only was there hatred in Janice's eyes, they were also filled with tears. When shelooked at Minerva, she happened to see Maddox, who was standing behind her. He had a cold faceand a strong aura. He certainly did not fit in this scene.

However, she did not know why. Perhaps she had been detained for too long, so she washallucinating.

At that moment, she felt that Maddox had merged Minerva into his own world.

Why? Why on earth?

Watching this scene, Janice's tears almost fell. She bit her lower lip and looked at Minerva withhatred.

"Why? Even though... you're pretty, I don't think I'm inferior to you. You know how to design but Ialso know a lot. Why does he like you?"

A look of grievance appeared on her face. When Janice saw that Maddox had really integratedMinerva into his aura, she became very sad.

Minerva remained expressionless and spoke in a flat voice.

"You say that I stole your blind date because you think that I met him through your blind date, don'tyou?"

Janice asked, "Isn't that it?"

"No," Minerva denied. As if she was sighing, Minerva said slowly, "We didn't meet each otherthrough your blind date."

"What do you mean?" Janice stared at her, still feeling a little confused.

Minerva continued, "To be more precise, he and I met a long time ago."

"How long was a long time ago? Are you trying to lie to me?" Janice bit her lower lip, and her hatredfor Minerva deepened.

Minerva shook her head and thought about it carefully, "Thinking about it, it's been five years sincewe last met. That day, when you went on a blind date with him, and I saw him again, it was just areunion."

"What? Reunion? Five years?" Janice could not believe her ears. She thought that she hadmisheard and her pale lips parted. Incredulously, she said, "How is this possible? How could youguys be reuniting that day? You guys didn't know each other at that time and I was the one whointroduced you to each other! Minerva! Did you purposely come up with this story to deceive mebecause you want me to apologize to you?"

Even Samantha's mother looked at Minerva in surprise.

This woman had already met Maddox five years ago? She did not expect it.

"It doesn't matter whether you apologize to me or not because I don't care whether or not you willbe locked up here. The person who really cares about you is your mother. Miss Lowell, it is true thatI reunited with Maddox that day and we have known each other for more than five years. I havealready explained it clearly. Do you still think that I took away your blind date? Did he ever give youany hope from the beginning?"

Janice lowered her eyes.

Did Maddox ever give her hope?

No.

Never.

From the first minute of the blind date, Janice could feel that every cell in Maddox's body refused togo on a blind date with her. He did not want to go on a blind date with her, but later on, he gave hera little face because of her request.

All the while, it was herself who was dreaming that she could one day subjugate that man.

She didn't care about what the outside world felt or what kind of feelings he had. He didn't evenhave the slightest shred of affection for her.

From the moment she felt a little glimmer of hope, it had been when Minerva had appeared. Thatwas because she had caused Maddox's eyes to light up.

Yes, it was the glimmer!

At that time, Janice had thought that he was interested in her designer's identity, so she was soexcited that she gave Minerva's business card to Maddox.

However, she didn't expect that the person Maddox was interested in was Minerva, not herdesigner's identity.

If it was said that the two of them had reunited, then what she had done was to help the two of themrevive their relationship again.

Now that she thought about it, her actions were truly foolish beyond compare; it was absolutelylaughable.

No!

"No, it's not like this. How could it be like this?" Thinking of this, Janice could not accept it and tooka few steps back. Her body fell to the ground as she looked at Minerva and shook her head. "I don'tbelieve it. How is this possible? How is this possible?"novelbin

"Janice!" When Samantha saw her collapse to the ground, she finally couldn't bear it and steppedforward to hold her while wiping her tears.

Seeing Janice's reaction, although Samantha said otherwise, it was evident that she had realized itin her heart.

However, she just couldn't accept it.

Minerva said softly, "I have said what I need to say. What you want to do now is in your own hands.The trial will be held in two hours. You still have time to repent."

After saying that, Minerva did not look at her anymore. She turned around and left.

Maddox took a deep look at the mother and daughter and also left.

Abigail watched their retreating backs and finally walked towards the mother and daughter,squatting down in front of Janice.

"I should apologize to you about this matter. They did know each other before. They not only kneweach other, but they had even been together five years ago. You know that Maddox was marriedfive years ago, right?"

Janice's lips trembled as she said, "Is... Is she the ex-wife that everyone is talking about?"

Abigail nodded seriously.

Janice suddenly laughed. "So that's how it is. She's Maddox's ex-wife? No wonder... The way helooked at her that day was different. No wonder he had agreed to go out with me when I mentionedMinerva Hanover's name. I thought that he had changed his attitude towards me after that and that Ihad a chance. I didn't expect... that he was doing it for her."

"I didn't know that she would appear here. I always thought that you were a good child and that youcould warm Maddox's heart. However, splashing acid on someone is so terrible that even I cannotforgive you. You're a girl, not a scheming little woman."

"Auntie Stark, I..." Janice opened her pale lips and couldn't say a word.

"Your mother has put in a lot of effort to save you. If you don't regret it, you really won't be able tocome out. There are still two hours left. Take care of yourself."

After that, Abigail patted Janice on the shoulder, then turned around and went out.

The sunlight outside was very bright and the wind blew against Minerva's long hair behind hershoulders. She stood there and watched the passing cars. Her heart slowly calmed down.

She tried to imagine being in Janice's position.

Would she be like her and think that her blind date had been snatched?

To be frank, without knowing the full truth, she would too.

However, would she splash acid on the other party?

Minerva closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

She could guarantee that she wouldn't do that.

After all, at the beginning of her first marriage, when a mistress had gone to her house, she hadchosen to leave with her tail between her legs. She had no ability to fight back at all.

Why? Because...
