Chapter 747

Collins family.

Minerva had heard that the Collins family had a world ranking. It was an old man who was in chargeof everything.

When she was working as a designer, she had made a few dealings with the Collins. Later, whenher peers saw the people from Collins family, they were so excited that they went crazy. Theyimmediately gave her a brief explanation.

They said the Collins family was particularly awesome. But now, an old man named Jarold ran thefamily business.

Although he was old, he was very tough and smart. Nobody could harm or rob his industry becausehe was fierce and cruel.

Minerva was puzzled that time so she asked, "Why does he always run the business on his own?How about his children? Could he not trust the others?"

Only then her peers told her that the old man, Jarold had two daughters.

But it seemed like there was a conflict and the two sisters left the Collins family together. They leftsuch an old man to guard the family business.

They sighed. Some people were born at such a great starting point, but they considered money andpower as dirt. Pitifully, those who started from a low starting point could only keep running on theroad. Once they stopped, they would be overtaken by the others and their status would not bepreserved. They could only look up to these big shots.

At that time, Minerva also sighed when she heard that the two daughters of the Collins family hadrun away and left the family business unattended.

What's the reason for the two daughters to neglect their father and give up on the family business?

She felt that she was distant from these things. She never expected that...

Maddox Yardley actually got involved with the Collins family.

Abigail Stark and Aurora Stark were actually Abigail Collins and Aurora Collins from back then.

All of this was so incredible that it was hard to believe.

Minerva bit her lower lip. The document in her hand was almost deformed. Quill Hanover, who wasstanding beside her saw this scene but he didn't make a sound.

Juliette opened her mouth and wanted to say something to Minerva. But Minerva, who was sitting inthe car suddenly opened the door and rushed out.

They were shocked. Then, they saw a slender figure walking out from the front door of the tallbuilding. He had a familiar face, handsome eyes and a cold aura around him. He was Maddox.

It turned out that Minerva opened the car door because she saw him.

Quill and Juliette looked at each other and got off the car quickly.

When Minerva saw Maddox, she got out of the car and ran towards him without hesitation.However, she was not as fast as Quill. Just as she wanted to reach out to Maddox, a big handsuddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"Ah!" Minerva exclaimed and she tried to struggle.

"Come back." Quill pulled her back. Minerva kept trying to pull her hands out and said, "Quill, let mego."

Quill frowned but didn't let go of her. He said in a cold voice, "He doesn't recognize you. It's uselesseven if you go and find him."

"I don't believe it. It's only been a short while. Why wouldn't he recognize me? Quill... Let go of me.I'm going to ask him."

Minerva saw that he was not letting go so she directly lowered her head and she bit Quill's arm.

Quill didn't expect such a sudden move. He released her hand in pain. Minerva immediately ranover to Maddox.

She ran towards Maddox recklessly. When she blocked Maddox's way and stood in front of him,she was panting.

Maddox's long legs stopped when she suddenly appeared in front of him.

Maddox frowned when he saw how dishevelled her hair was and how pale her face was. Her eyeswere slightly red and her lips were colorless.

Then, he thought of her as one of the women who had been trying her best to strike up aconversation with him these days.

The next second, he retracted his gaze and walked past Minerva.

Minerva was dumbfounding.novelbin

She was stunned for five seconds before reacting. She turned around and went up to blockMaddox's path again.

Maddox frowned unhappily. "What's the matter?"

Minerva's beautiful eyes were wide open.

He frowned. His eyes and face were full of impatience. "He really... couldn't recognize me?" Minervathought.

No!

She couldn't believe it!

It seemed that all the confessions he said in her ear before were just yesterday. She and Beaniewere waiting for him to come back every day.

Every night, he would enter her dreams and flirt with her, whispering to her.

Why was he so cold now?

"You, you don't know me?" When she asked this question, Minerva felt her voice starting to tremble.

This question seemed to have amused Maddox. He smiled and his smile was a little mocking.

"Lady, should I know you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he subconsciously raised his hand and played with the softstrands of hair that belonged to Minerva. He looked at her pale lips and said nonchalantly, "Even ifyou want to strike up a conversation with me, you have to find a decent reason, right? Are youtrying to attract my attention by acting crazy?"

Minerva was speechless.

Minerva's face turned even paler because of his words and attitude.

When she saw his hand playing with her hair, looking careless and light- hearted, Minerva felt a dullpain in her heart. Without thinking, she grabbed his hand and said in a choked voice, "Stop foolingaround. Come back with me."

Maddox was just playing with her soft black hair. He felt that the way this woman tried to strike up aconversation was very odd.

When other women tried to strike up a conversation with him, they all wished to show him their mostbeautiful side.

However, this woman wore casual clothes. She didn't even put on makeup and her black hair wasmessy.

She was not beautiful at all.

When she held his hand, Maddox was startled. Some kind of numb feeling passed through theirhands and entered his heart.

He withdrew his hand as fast as lightning and took a step back. He looked at the woman in front ofhim in disgust.

The disgust in his eyes was exceptionally clear. Minerva saw that and felt extremely sad.

"Can you please not act like this?"

She choked and tears were welling up in her eyes. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, as if she hadbeen forcing herself to not let her tears fall down. If she blinked, the tears would roll downimmediately like pearls.

"I have been waiting for you these days. Do you know how long we have been looking for you?Let's go back to Hidalgo."

"Hurry up! Mr. Sebastian has been entangled by a woman again. Get that woman out of here."

Someone shouted and Minerva's hand was grabbed by two tall men. She was a little flustered andshe looked at Maddox .

"Save me, save me..."

The woman's voice was like the whining of a small beast. She cried out for him with despair in hereyes.

Looking at this scene, Maddox somehow felt a little annoyed.
