Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 617

When she got closer, Sylvia finally saw the side of the man's face in front of her. Although it was justhis side profile, she could see his sharp eyes and facial features clearly.

Sylvia was shocked. Her hands trembled and the plates in her hand almost slipped out.

How could it be Maddox?

Could it be that he was the handsome man whom Elaine and Sandra were talking about? Didn'tthey just meet a few days ago? Why did he come again that day?

Could it be that he did not want her to stay there any longer?

Thinking of this, Sylvia's face turned pale. When she thought of running away, she heard a familiarvoice.

"Sylvia?"

Sylvia was rooted to the spot. She slowly raised her head and turned to the source of the voice.

A beautiful face appeared in front of her.

Sylvia's face was pale as paper. The plate in her hand fell onto the ground.

Thud!

The steak was wasted. When the sauce splashed out, some of it splashed onto Sylvia's clothes, aswell as her face and neck.

Minerva was seated far away from Maddox, so she wasn't hurt by accident.

However, the moment the plate landed on the ground, Maddox quickly got up and stood in front ofMinerva.

Compared to the fact that Han Minerva was being protected, Sylvia looked even worse off.

"Are you alright?" Maddox turned his head and asked.

Minerva looked at him oddly. He had rushed over the moment something happened. He hadblocked all of the filth for her. How could anything happen to her?

Even if he didn't block it for her, it wouldn't have reached her.

Minerva shook her head.novelbin

Watching this scene caused Sylvia's heart to be filled with grief.

Five years ago, she was the high and mighty daughter of the Hanover family, while Minerva was justan unloved daughter of the Shell family.

Five years later, the situation had changed.

Sylvia was the one who was down and out.

Sylvia hated Minerva, but at the same time, she did not dare to meet her.

She really didn't want Minerva to see her current state.

As she thought of this, Sylvia turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Minerva stood up and called out to her.

"Sylvia, did you tamper with the delivery and takeout?"

Ever since Maddox had told her the day before that she would be disappointed after finding out whothis person was, Minerva's mind was filled someone's face. However, she didn't want to wronglyaccuse others.

Now that he had seen her, she realized that the face in front of her and the one he had beenthinking the previous day was the same.

Sylvia...

They used to be such good friends five years ago, but now...

Sylvia originally wanted to run away. After all, she didn't want to be laughed at. However, Minerva'swords made her stop. She didn't look back but just stood there.

"Why?" Minerva looked at her back and asked.

She did not know what she had done wrong. Why did Sylvia change so drastically. She had eventried to commit suicide in front of her.

Sylvia was triggered by Minerva's question. She turned around suddenly and sneered at her.

"Why? Don't you know why I'm targeting you? Miss Hanover, what are you trying to do now? Areyou here to make fun of me? Do you want to embarrass me?" Sylvia glanced at Maddox andreturned her vicious gaze to Minerva.

"You even brought someone here to back you up? You want to see how embarrassed I am, butunfortunately, it's impossible."

After saying that, Sylvia straightened her back and looked at Minerva with hatred in her eyes.

The hatred was so dense that it seemed to seep out of her eyes. Minerva simply could not believeit. Her lips moved, but she was unable to utter a single word.

"Back then... It was clear that you had done something that wronged me."

"How could she be so self-righteous now?" Minerva thought. She looked sideways at Maddox andstated, "I want to talk to her in private."

Just as Maddox was about to refuse, Sylvia shouted, "Who wants to talk to you alone? Now thatyou are Miss Hanover, I have nothing to say to you. Also, the two of you, please leave. We won'tserve you today."

After saying that, Sylvia turned around and left, leaving Minerva with a view of her back.

Minerva's expression fell. She bit her lower lip and tried to chase after her.

Maddox grabbed hold of her wrist and said, "Don't go after her."

"But..."

"Didn't you come today just to see who it was? Don't tell me that you're here to catch up on oldtimes with her."

Upon hearing this, Minerva instantly fell silent. She slowly lowered her head and was brought out ofthe restaurant by him.

After getting in the car, she was in a daze and even forgot to fasten her seat belt.

In the end, Maddox had to fasten her seatbelt.

Minerva was lost in her thoughts.

She didn't expect to see Sylvia again, especially under such circumstances.

Sylvia had used her identity in the past. Now that she was no longer a member of the Hanoverfamily, had she returned to that gambling addict father of hers?

Was she working in the restaurant while dressed like that?

Minerva remembered the low-collar, miniskirt, and black stockings on Sylvia's body.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes. Her mind was in a mess.

Why? Why had Sylvia become like this?

Minerva knew that back then, Sylvia went behind her back to get close to Maddox. Even thoughMinerva had severed ties with her, when she saw how she was just now, she still felt sad.

After all, they were once good friends.

In the past, Sylvia had been really nice to her.

"Don't overthink it. It's her own fault for ending up like this."

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out. Minerva regained her senses and opened her eyes.

She saw that the car had stopped at the red light, while Maddox turned his head and stared at her.

"It's her own fault?"

"Do you feel bad seeing her down and out now?" Maddox asked.

Minerva didn't answer, but there was no doubt that she was feeling sad deep inside.

"Why don't you think about what Sylvia had done to you? She followed you and even scared youtwice."

"But..."

"But what? Are you largehearted?" Maddox's gaze became sharp as he looked at her dangerously."Did you know how she became a member of the Hanover family?"

These words were like a head- on blow to Minerva. The uncertainty in her heart dissipated in aninstant.

Yes, back then, Sylvia had gotten close with Minerva deliberately. Sylvia treated her well becauseshe had other ideas. She stole Minerva's identity and felt guilty because of that. That was why shewas nice to Minerva. She was trying to make up for her sins.
