Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 405

Those words left Yasmine speechless.

In the meeting with Minerva the other day, she had indeed been able to pinpoint their flaws accurately.

"That doesn't mean anything! We've been working in this industry for so many years. She could've had someone look us up beforehand! After all, she has the money to do such a thing, doesn't she?"

"You're not wrong... I suppose anything's possible when one has money. For instance, you clearly don't like her, yet you still stayed for the money, right?" Jordan taunted Yasmine.

He was mocking her to her face.

He had purposely put her on the spot.

Kelly let out a condescending laugh at that as Jessica followed suit.

Gabriella, who was now standing beside Yasmine, snorted with disdain as she huffed, "I knew there must've been something keeping you here despite all your complaining..."

"I..." Yasmine sputtered, feeling too exasperated to speak properly.

Everyone had already glossed over her not a moment later, leaving her to her rage. She clenched her fists tightly, biting her lower lip to suppress her fury.

She would show that d*mn b*tch who was the boss!

So what if Minerva had a child with Quill? She didn't hold any official title! She would eventually be abandoned by Quill soon enough.

That Quill...

Yasmine's eyes gleamed viciously as she thought.

Meanwhile, in the conference room...

Before Minerva went in, she took Beanie to Vera and asked her to take good care of him so he didn't run off somewhere else.

However, Vera had in turn attempted to lock Beanie in the office by himself.

"Your mommy's hand is injured so I have to go help her, okay? Would you be okay staying here alone for a short while?"

Beanie nodded his head in agreement, "That won't be a problem, Auntie Vera. But... I think I can tag along and listen in on the meeting..."

"What? Why would you want to do that?"

"Don't worry, Auntie Vera. I'll be a good boy! I won't cause any trouble..." Beanie stated in a sing-song voice.

"Well, that's..."

Beanie took a few steps towards Vera, and latched onto her arm as he persuaded her, "Auntie Vera, I can send you my uncle's personal photos..."

Upon hearing this, Vera straightened her back.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand..."

"I'm talking about my uncle's personal photos! They won’t be ones you can find in the magazines or the

news..."

Personal photos...

Vera imagined Quill sat on a sofa in casual attire, illuminated by dim lights. She flushed at the tantalizing image her mind had conjured.

"Auntie Vera, how's that? Do we have a deal?"

"Deal!"

She would comply just this once for those photos.

After all, the kid had promised to observe the whole meeting in silence. It's not like he would cause her any trouble...

As such, Vera took Beanie to the conference room and sat him down at the back of the room. He lounged on the chair with cheery satisfaction, swinging his short legs under the table.

When the rest came in, they couldn't help but spare a glance in his direction.

When Kelly walked passed and caught a glimpse of him at the corner of her eye, she stopped abruptly. She took some sweets out from her pocket and handed them to Beanie.

It was a young man with a stony expression.

"Zachary!" Jessica exclaimed a little with glistening eyes. She got up from her seat and started to rush towards him.

However, he merely ignored her, choosing to walk past her and came before Minerva.

Minerva levelled a calm stare at Zachary.

He wore a white clean shirt, which accentuated his thin, wiry frame. His face and lips were a little pale, but even so, he still looked really handsome.

However, his eyes held no warmth as he stared at Minerva.

Minerva froze for a moment when she met his eyes, instantly reminding her of another person.

As she was deep in thought, Zachary had already gotten quite close to her, placing himself right in front of her.

Jessica trailed behind him anxiously. She wanted to pull at his sleeve to stop him but did not dare look at him as she muttered lowly, "Zachary, what are you doing here?"

Minerva remained calm as she met the man's eyes.

"Can I help you?" She asked.

Without uttering a word, Zachary reached his hand out and placed the notebook he had been holding onto on the table.

Minerva grabbed it and asked, "You drew up a draft?"

She flipped through the notebook as she spoke, "Since you're here already, please take a seat."

Zachary merely gave her a blank stare, remaining silent all the while. He then turned to find himself a seat with Jessica trailing after him.

As Minerva flipped through the pages, she winced at the sight.

She raised her head and spared another look towards Zachary. She had been right about him. This young man's work really did reflect his dark nature.
