Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Chapter 719

Boom!

Lightning struck.

The person sleeping on the bed suddenly sat up and tugged on her quilt when she heard thethunder roaring.

The lights in the room were off, and Minerva was walking in total darkness. When she finally foundthe door, she swung it open.

The lights in the corridor reflected into the room, shining on her delicate bare face.

Just as she took a step forward, two men blocked her way.

"Miss Hanover!"

Minerva stared at the two men in front of her in surprise. Her pale lips moved as she said, "Both ofyou..."

"It's not safe outside. Mr. Hanover asked us to guard your room and protect you."

To protect her?

A faint sneer appeared on her lips as she said, "Are you here to protect me, or monitor me?"

The men were embarrassed by what she said. They looked at each other, and one of them steppedforward boldly. "Miss Minerva, President Hanover asked us to stay here because he wanted toprotect you."

It was monitoring her as well as for her own protection.

They were keeping watch over her, not allowing her to leave the room. If she went out at thatmoment, she was definitely going to fall sick because of the heavy downpour, but...

Minerva bit her lower lip and said coldly, "No matter what it is, get out of the way. I have somethingto do."

The two men were speechless.

"I'm sorry, Miss Minerva. President Hanover specifically ordered us to have you rest in your roomand not go out before the sun rises."

"What if I insist on going out?"

"Please be reasonable. Miss Minerva. It's so dark outside, and there is a heavy downpour. Even ifyou go out now, you wouldn't even be able to see where you are going."

Her heart sank at his words.

She wouldn't even be able to see where she was going?

"Out of my way!" Minerva, who had been standing the entire time, suddenly reached out her handand pushed the person in front of her away. While they were collecting themselves, she took theopportunity to walk ahead.

"Miss Minerva!"

The two men came to their senses and caught up with her.

"Miss Minerva, please don't make things difficult for us. This is President Hanover's order. It'sraining cats and dogs outside. You won't be able to see where you are going."

"It's none of your business. Let go of me."

She was so furious as they grabbed her. Her face went pale from the anger, and she stepped on theman's foot.

The person cried out in pain, but he still didn't dare to let go of her. He pulled her while turning hishead towards the other man, saying, "Quickly inform Mr. Hanover that Miss Minerva is awake."

The man nodded and disappeared into the corridor.

She was still struggling. "Let go of me. My brother told you to keep an eye on me, but he didn't saythat he wanted you to physically restrain me. Why are you grabbing me? Are you trying to takeadvantage of me?"

The man was speechless.

Even if he had the courage, he also didn't dare to take advantage of her.

Minerva was the younger sister of Quill of the Hanover Corporation. Furthermore, she was now Mrs.Yardley of the Yardley Corporation. Even though... The wedding did not go as planned.

However, she was still Mrs. Yardley as long as they could find Maddox.

Seeing his expression change, Minerva said again, "Let go of me."novelbin

The man was still hesitating.

"Molester."

She didn't expect him to be so determined. She shouted that she was being molested. Sureenough, the man's face changed after hearing her words, and then he suddenly let go of her hand.

After attaining freedom, she immediately turned around and ran. The man came to his senses andquickly caught up with her.

Minerva turned around and ran very fast. When she reached the elevator door, the doors wereclosing. Without thinking, she squeezed through the gap.

Thud!

After she went into the elevator, the doors closed.

The man that was chasing after her pressed the button rapidly, but it was useless. As he looked atthe elevator descended, he had no other choice but to calm down and take the staircase.

Minerva figured the man would take the stairs and chase after her, so once she reached the lobby,she ran out of the lobby into the thunderstorm without a second thought.

It was bone-chilling as the raindrops fell on her body.

It was the start of the winter, but it felt like the middle of winter. However, this was not enough tostop her.

She just wanted to go to the coast and wait for him to come back.

Quill rushed over as soon as he received the news. However, when he went downstairs, he onlysaw one of the men, but Minerva was not by his side.

"Where is she?"

"I'm sorry. I couldn't stop Miss Minerva. She entered the elevator. When I came down she wasalready gone."

Juliette was also woken up. Her hair was still a bit messy when she hurried over, but it was obviousshe tidied her clothes up.

"How is she? Where's Miss Minerva?"

The man repeated, and Juliette's eyes changed. She looked at Quill and said, "You two, go to checkthe hotel surveillance camera, and you two, ask about Miss Minerva's whereabouts. The rest of yougo out to find her. Remember to take a flashlight. It's too dark outside."

Juliette was efficient. After having people prepare an umbrella and a flashlight, they went straightout to look for her.

It was pitch black, and the rain was pouring.

Minerva ran to the roadside and saw a taxi. She reached out to stop it, but the taxi ignored her andpassed by her.

She thought, "Maybe I look too haggard. They are afraid that I can't afford the fare, so they aren'twilling to pick me up."

Or they were afraid that she would get their seats wet as she was soaking wet.

However, she was not discouraged. Of course, she knew she was far away from the crash site. Shehad to grab a ride there.

After waiting for god- knows- how- long, another car finally came.

She kept waving her hand, hoping that the car could stop.

This time, the car stopped. The middle-aged man named Hodge inside the car stuck his head outand glanced at her.

"Need a ride?"

He was speaking the local dialect, so Minerva could not understand him. She could only use Frenchto explain where she wanted to go and ask him if he could bring her along.

She initially thought that Hodge might not understand, but he suddenly smiled, talked to her inFrench, and then asked her to get in the car enthusiastically. If she continued to stand in the rain,she would catch a cold.

She nodded gratefully. She wet Hodge's car as soon as she got on. She quickly apologized, feelingembarrassed.

Hodge said that it was not a big deal. He said he was doing something good. The car would be drythe next day. Minerva praised him for how fluently he spoke in French. He said proudly that his sontaught him this.

When he was done, he came back to his senses and asked her.

"Why do you want to go to the Belford Ocean? As far as I know, it's not a good place."
