Female Novel
Chapter 543
The front hall was crowded, but it was a different case in the dressing room. Under the melodiousmusic, their hearts seemed to be in harmony.
Dancing was actually a very magical thing.
It could make two strangers feel close to each other, and it could also improve the relationshipbetween two people who were already close.
Just like this moment, Minerva almost forgot about how unhappy she used to be. She had forgottenthat she was a woman who had failed two times in her marriage and that she had a child. She hadalso forgotten the dark days where she was haunted in her nightmares.
The song ended.
Maddox pressed her against the dressing table. Then, he pressed his body forwards slightly. Helifted her chin and was about to kiss her.
Minerva, on the other hand, avoided his kiss with an expressionless face. She then pushed himaway and said coldly, "I'm done dancing. You can go back now."
Maddox, who had his guards down during such a romantic moment, was pushed aside. He turnedaround and looked at Minerva, whose expression had become cold once more. His eyes were filledwith disbelief.
A few moments ago, her eyes were filled with tenderness when she danced with him, but in the nextsecond, she pushed him away without mercy.
What the hell was going on?
Just as Maddox took a step forward, Minerva said indifferently, "Haven't you had enough tonight?Don't make me hate you."
He stopped in his tracks because of what she said. After a moment, he slowly asked, "Are youpretending?"
Minerva did not say anything.
"If you don't answer, I'll take it as a yes." Maddox stared deeply at her. "Minerva, no matter how youpush me away, you'll be mine for the rest of your life."
She turned around directly and did not look at Maddox.
After turning around for a while, Minerva felt that his breathing had disappeared. Only then did sheslowly support herself with her hand on the table beside her as she walked step by step into theroom.
She sat in the dressing room and it took her a long time to calm down. After that, Minerva changedinto simple clothes.
Beanie hadn't come to her yet. Where did he go?
No, something was not right.
Maddox was also at this evening's banquet. Would he have... met Beanie?
At the thought of this possibility, Minerva's face turned pale. The next second, she rushed out of theroom.
After a few steps out of the dressing room, she turned back and placed the mask that was thrownon the table into her bag.
Quill initially wanted to introduce Minerva to everyone in order to let everyone know that she wasthe daughter of the Hanover family.
Therefore, not only did he invite almost all the high-ranking people in North City, but he also had theevent live streamed on the big screen in the center of the city.
Almost everyone liked looking at pretty things. Whenever people walked past and saw the TVbroadcast, they would stop and admire the daughter of the Hanover family and how beautiful shewas. In short, all kinds of envious voices rang around.
At this moment, a waitress named Sylvia in some restaurant brought out the steak that was orderedfrom the kitchen.
"Sir, here's the medium- done steak you ordered."
The man stared at his phone, completely lost in thought as he ignored her.
A hint of malice flashed in Sylvia's eyes, as she forced a smile to remind him again.novelbin
"Oh, just set it down. I got it." The man named Laird waved his hand impatiently. Sylvia was a littleannoyed and thought, "What the hell? He doesn't have manners at all."
Her eyes inadvertently glanced at his phone and she saw a beautiful girl appearing on his screen.
Humph, men were all the same.
He might be sitting in a gentlemanly manner and eating in a restaurant, but no one knew what kindof beast he was in private.
Sylvia despised him from the beginning to end. Then, she turned around and prepared to leave, butall of a sudden, she realized that something was wrong. She stopped in her tracks and turned back
to stare at the man's cell phone screen.
Why did this woman look so familiar?
She went forward and looked at it at a closer distance. The expression on her face changeddramatically. She grabbed Laird's phone and stared at the person who appeared on the phonescreen.
The woman on the screen was smiling faintly, but the coldness in her eyes could not be concealed,just as it was in the past.
However, the dazzling crown on her head and the colorful dress on her stung Sylvia's eyes!
"Kimberly Shell!" She shouted a name at once.
Laird saw Sylvia staring at his phone without moving and thought that he had found someone likehim. He laughed and joked, "Isn't she pretty? When I first saw this girl on the broadcast, I thought Imet an angel. I didn't expect that the Hanover family would have such a beautiful person."
"Hanover Family?" Sylvia's voice trembled a little.
Laird noticed her behavior, but he didn't think there was anything odd. He looked at Sylvia andnoticed that she looked impoverished from head to toe. There was disdain in his eyes. "Yes, I'msure you must be so excited to see such a beautiful woman. Don't you think that the dress she iswearing is pretty? Let me tell you, you can't even afford a piece of the diamond on that crown withyour annual salary. They are, of course, the Hanover family in North City. Haven't you heard of theHanover family? How outdated."
The straightforward words were like a sharp knife stabbing into Sylvia's heart. She held the mobilephone tightly to the point that her fingertips had turned white. Then, Laird exclaimed, "I can see thatyou are jealous, but what has my mobile phone done to you? Give it back to me!"
Sylvia raised her head and the look in her eyes was particularly scary. It was as if she had justclimbed back up from the gates of hell.
"Just now... Did you just say that my annual salary can't afford a diamond on that crown?"
"Did I say something wrong? I'm telling the truth. Those are real diamonds. I'm putting you down onpurpose!"
"Huh!" Sylvia scoffed. "What's the big deal about them? I used to wear diamonds too."
"You... You are hallucinating, aren't you?" Laird looked at her as if he was looking at a lunatic. Whenshe was not paying attention, he wanted to grab his cell phone, but Sylvia easily avoided his graspand stared at the person on the screen.
"It has been five years. You've finally shown up..."
"Manager, how can a waitress grab a customer's mobile phone?"
The customer's complaint rang in her ears, pulling Sylvia mind back. She quickly returned thephone and showed a sweet smile.
"Hey sir, thank you for sharing. This lady is stunning and you have excellent tastes. I wish you apleasant meal."
After that, Sylvia quickly turned around without waiting for Larid to react and quickly went towardsthe manager. She said as she walked, "Oh, manager, how can I take someone else's mobilephone? You know that I wouldn't do that..."
