Chapter 746

In the hotel.

Minerva spent an hour bathing. She cleaned herself up and felt refreshed.

She didn't put on any makeup after taking a shower as she was afraid that her makeup would beruined again.

However, she couldn't put on makeup even if she wanted to.

As she was in a hurry to go out, she didn't have time to bring any cosmetics.

Juliette told her that she had 20 minutes to prepare. After she took out the suitcase, she only stuffeda few pieces of clothing inside...

It seemed that she had been waiting at the door.

She looked like a demon.

Minerva stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom in a daze. She came back to her senses andreached out to pat her own face.

Then, her movement stopped for a moment and she quickly changed her posture.

She pinched herself on the face, trying to ascertain if this was just a dream.

Minerva gasped in pain. Soon, she saw her own reflection in the mirror and her face turned red.

It was painful.

It was real.

It's not fake.

Although the pain made her gasp but when she looked at the red mark on her face, a smileappeared on Minerva's face.

Quill sent her a Facebook message, saying that he had already instructed the chauffeur to comeover slightly later in the evening so that she could catch up on some sleep before meeting Maddox.

Minerva thought for a moment and did not say anything else. She replied and turned around to rest.

She was indeed tired. She had been in high spirits for a long time. She was fine. But because of herpregnancy, the baby in her stomach seemed to have been protesting and said that she needed torest.

Minerva fell asleep. She didn't wake up until Juliette came knocking on her door in the afternoon.

"Miss Minerva, we still have about ten minutes to set off." "Alright." Minerva quickly returned to theroom to wash her face. Then, she changed into casual clothes. She followed Juliette out of theroom before she could tie her hair.

Quill froze when he saw her.

His sister rarely had her hair dishevelled. No matter how casual she was, she would tie her hair atthe back of her head.

But now, she was covered by a head of soft hair. Her black hair was hanging down, covering half ofher face. It made her look thinner.

More importantly, this look was very similar to their mother when she was young.

Quill's mind went blank as he looked at Minerva.

Quill only came to his senses after she walked up to him and called him.

When he thought of their mother who had passed away, Quill's mood suddenly dropped. "Hmm," hesaid in a low and muffled voice.

After getting in the car, Minerva finally couldn't help but ask questions.

"Where are we going now?"

When she came out, she looked at the time. It was already late.

Juliette, who was sitting in the front passenger seat turned around and smiled. "You'll know whenwe get there, Miss Minerva."

Minerva was confused.

Why does she feel as if there was something she didn't know about?

However, she was about to see Maddox. Minerva thought to herself that she would overcome thesedoubts when she saw him.

She didn't know how long the car had been driving. Quill, who was sitting next to her, unconsciouslyspoke.

"I have something to ask you."

Minerva looked at him and said, "What?"novelbin

Quill did not look at her. He looked out of the window with his deep eyes. He pursed his thin lipstightly and did not say anything.

After a long while, Quill spoke again.

"Let's assume that if you found him but he won't be able to recognize you. What are you going to donext?"

Minerva was dumbfounded.

What does that mean? Why wouldn't Maddox recognize her?

Minerva asked, "Quill, I... don't understand your words. Why wouldn't Maddox recognize me?"

Quill turned his head, set his eyes on her face.

"It's just a hypothesis."

Minerva's face was a little pale. She didn't answer him as if she couldn't stand this question.

Seeing her like this, Quill couldn't help but frown. He said coldly, "I'm just making a hypothesis andyou couldn't accept it. What if it's the truth?"

"No!"

Minerva shook her head forcefully and tried her best to argue for Maddox.

"It's impossible. A hypothesis is just a hypothesis. It can't be true. Why wouldn't Maddox recognizeme? Quill, don't kid with me now."

After that, she turned her head away angrily and ignored Quill.

Quill pursed his thin lips. "What if I'm not kidding?"

Minerva suddenly turned her head and glared at Quill.

Juliette, who was sitting in the passenger seat could clearly feel the flow of uneasiness in the air.However, she didn't know what to say to ease the atmosphere.

After all, Quill was telling the truth.

They would witness the truth of this matter soon. It seemed to be futile to talk about anything now.

"I'm not kidding. What I said just now is not a hypothesis. It's the truth."

A while later, Quill's voice sounded in the car again.

Juliette could sense that Minerva was really sad. Through the rearview mirror, she saw Minervasitting there with no expression on her face but the rims of her eyes were red.

She knew that Quill would not lie to her. From the moment he began to assume, Minerva felt thatthis could be the truth. But she did not expect... that it was actually true.

She looked at Quill with red eyes and said with a hint of self- mockery in her tone, "So, this is thedoubt you mentioned earlier?"

Quill didn't say anything so Juliette had to continue the topic.

"Miss Minerva, we didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that we did have some doubts when wefound out about this, so... we decided to invite Miss Minerva to come and take a look. You'll knoweverything when you see Young Master Yardley."

"Then... where are we going to meet him?" Minerva didn't know how long it took her to digest thismatter, so she asked subconsciously.

Juliette looked at the navigation. Letting out a sigh, she said, "We'll be there soon."

About a few minutes later, the car stopped in front of a tall building. Minerva had seen this buildingfive years ago when she was living abroad. She recognized it at a glance.

"This... this is..."

"This is the world's famous Collins family's company in Averland." Juliette replied and slowly lookedat Minerva. "Our people saw Mr. Yardley here. As for why he's here, I've also done some research."

Juliette opened her briefcase and handed a document to Minerva.

Minerva bit her lower lip and took the document but she did not open it.

"At first, we didn't know why Young Master Yardley would appear here. But later...we discoveredthat Young Master Yardley's aunt, Abigail Stark, was actually the daughter of the Collins Family.Young Master Yardley's mother, Aurora Stark, was her sister. Her original name was Aurora Collins.They were the famous sisters of the Collins Family, but... We don't know the reason as of why theywould leave the Collins Family for North City."
