Chapter 729

Vera and Juliette seemed to be closer to each other.

Vera looked at her with hesitation. There was a smile on Juliette's face, and she looked like an oldersister who understands her.

"Go ahead and ask me what you have in mind."

"Sister... Juliette."

In order to show how polite she was, Vera deliberately called her 'sister' while addressing her.Juliette's eyebrows raised with a hint of a smile. "Yes?"

"Well... You've been Quill's secretary for so many years now. Do you know... why he is alwayssingle?" After saying this, Vera lowered her head with some embarrassment and fidgeted.

Juliette knew that Vera had doubts, but she didn't know that she was asking this type of question.After staring at her for a moment, Juliette noticed that Vera's face was blushing, and it was obviousthat she was in love.

"Are you in love with President Hanover?"

Vera did not expect her to be so straightforward. She suddenly raised her head and blushed as shelooked at Juliette.

"Alright." Juliette took the initiative to interrupt her and said lightly, "I understand what you are tryingto say. In fact, for so many years, there have been a lot of people who have fallen in love withPresident Hanover. However, he only prioritizes his sister. Perhaps it's because his parents passedaway early, but he has always been alone. Thus, even after he had Minerva by his side, he still hasa strong desire for the love of a family."

"So that's how it is?"

"That's right." Juliette smiled and nodded. "It'll be hard to change when they become accustomed toit. Moreover, President Hanover doesn't have any needs for love, thus he doesn't have the need toget out of his comfort zone. Do you like him? This is like a moth darting into a flame. Let me giveyou a piece of advice, I think it's best for you to forget about him and move on."

"Forget it?" Vera was a little taken aback. She didn't expect Juliette to be so straightforward. Did thismean that she was advising her to stop falling in love with Quill?

"Yes, feelings simply don't exist for people like him. It will only make you sad for falling in love withsuch people."

Vera was stunned.

It seemed that she was really telling her to stop falling in love with him.

However, she refused to give up. She always felt that there was hope as long as she kept trying.

"Judging from your expression, you must have been rejected by him?"

"Juliette? How, how do you know?"

"In the past, he rejected me straight up."

Vera was dumbfounded.

"Back then I didn't dare to show my affection for him thus I kept this a secret from him. I knew that itwas very difficult for him to come out of his comfort zone, so I secretly dealt with everything by hisside. I wanted him to get used to me, so that one day... when I was no longer by his side, he wouldfeel like something was missing. At that time, I succeeded."

Hearing this, Vera couldn't help but widen her eyes, then she gave Juliette a thumbs up and praisedher. "Juliette, you are so smart, why didn't I think of this?"

When she saw Vera staring at her in admiration, Juliette didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Did she not understand her?

"What's the point in praising me? He just wouldn't come out of his comfort zone. You see, now I'mmarried and I've also had my own child, but he is still single. Can you understand where I'm goingwith this?"

"Then why do you have to stay by his side and be his secretary?"

"This seemed a little cruel now that you mentioned this. Back then, when he told me to forget abouthim, he asked me if this would make me hold a grudge against him and stop working for him. "When she mentioned this, Juliette's expression became indescribable. "That time, I didn't even thinkthat he would actually ask this kind of question, so what else could I do? If I really quit my job,wouldn't it seem like I was really mad at him because he rejected me? That's why... I didn't quit myjob."

"D*mn, Quill is really cunning. I thought that... he was the kind of person who was very cold andindifferent. I did not expect that..."

Juliette stood up and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "In short, think it through. I still have thingsto do, so I can't chat with you anymore."

After she left, Vera sat on the chair, holding her chin and thinking for a long time.

Day after day passed. Minerva stayed alone in the ward to recuperate. She ate and drank like usualbut she refused to let anyone in to visit her.

Beanie complained many times and wanted to look for his mommy, but each time, she still didn'tagree to bring him here.

Quill had come to persuade her several times, but in the end, he was told to leave the ward. Quill,the president of the Hanover Corporation, came out of the ward looking gloomy, and he shook hishead helplessly.

The phone suddenly rang. Quill glanced at the caller ID and picked it up.

"What's the matter?" His tone was calm; he reached out his hand to pinch his temple. Recently, hehad a handful of things he had to be worried about.

This was the first time that he had felt this way.

"Mr. Hanover, we have news!"

Quill was taken aback. Soon, he frowned.

"You mean?"

"We've found him!!!"novelbin

Quill almost stopped breathing. He picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. He was afraidthat it was just someone calling the wrong number. Otherwise... How could they find him so quickly?

After making sure that the phone number was correct, he coughed slightly and asked, "What haveyou found?"

The other end was stunned by his question. "Wasn't it you who told us to look for someone? Did...Did we get the wrong person?"

"No."

Quill shut his eyes and took the opportunity to take a few deep breaths to calm himself down. Aftera few breaths, he finally calmed down. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were bright andcalm.

He licked his thin lips and then said coldly, "Have you found him?"

"Yes, Mr. Hanover."

"Tell me the address. I'll come over now."

Quill spoke as he began to take out the car keys from his pocket. This was his subconscious kickingin. Little did he know that he went here by taxi after arriving at the airport.

Therefore, he paused for a moment and said, "Forget it, just send the location to my phone and I'llcome to your address."

"Okay, Mr. Hanover. I'll send you the location right away."

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Quill put the phone away and headed straight out of the hospital.

He didn't notice that he was in a hurry. He just thought that if those people really found Maddox,then... his sister Minerva wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

"Quill!"

He paused, looked back, and saw Vera running quickly toward him and then she stopped in front ofhim.

"I just heard you say that he's found? Is Mr. Yardley found? Can I go with you?"
