Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 449

Didn't he agree to the termination of the contract?

Minerva was stunned for a few seconds before she came to her senses. She then flashed a smile at Maddox.

"What does it have anything to do with me if you don't agree to it?" She asked.

When Maddox heard her, his stare grew in intensity. "What does it have to do with you? I'm your client. I don't agree with the contract termination. Do you think you're completely uninvolved?"

"Mr. Yardley, please understand that I unilaterally terminated the contract. According to the contract's regulations, I just need to pay the penalty. Other than that, there are no consequences."

Upon hearing that, Maddox continued staring at her without speaking a word.

After a moment, his lips curled up suddenly. "Do you really want to avoid me that much? Just because you terminated the contract, do you think that I won't order from your company again?"

Minerva was stupefied.

"Your company seems to have many designers?" When Maddox said that, he deliberately raised his eyebrows.

Minerva was rendered speechless.

She had miscalculated.

She didn't expect Maddox to be so shameless.

Her lips moved, yet she couldn't utter a word in the end. On the contrary, Maddox took a step forward. "Do you still want to terminate the contract? Hm?"

"What do you want?" Minerva asked helplessly. She looked mockingly at Maddox who was standing in front of her. Although she was wearing high heels, Maddox was still much taller than her. When she spoke, she raised her head to meet his gaze as his overwhelming aura filled the surroundings.

"What do I want?" Maddox laughed in a low voice. His eyes were gleaming attractively but there seemed to be a hint of mockery on his face. He spoke in a hushed tone, asking, "Can't you tell?"

Although the place was noisy, Minerva could hear Maddox clearly. It caused a stir in her heart, affecting her concentration and judgment.

She took a step back and gritted her teeth. "Please behave yourself, Mr. Yardley. Your wife would be very unhappy if she knew about it. Don't you feel sorry for her?"

Maddox was utterly dumbfounded.

"Have you become a shameless person who doesn't care about the opinion of others after five years?"

Maddox noticed Minerva's disappointed look and realized something.

It seemed that she had no knowledge of what was going on.

Maddox pursed his thin lips and said coldly, "Who told you that I had a wife?"

Minerva's brows furrowed slightly.

What did he mean?

"You must be joking. You're the one who said that you're married."

"Oh?" Maddox grinned. "Are you jealous?"

Minerva was at a loss for words.

What did that have to do with her? She held back her anger and said indifferently, "Mr. Yardley, I have something important to attend to. I don't have much time to spare."

"Alright." Maddox wrapped his arms around her. "There will be a time for that. I can wait for you. Let's talk about us after you settle this."

Minerva ignored him and headed in the direction of Nash's car. Maddox did not follow her.

When Nash saw Minerva approaching, he glanced at Maddox, who was standing afar. "Miss Hanover? Did something happen to you?"

Minerva walked to the desk and transferred the photos she just took in her mobile phone to the computer. "Please explain."

Yasmine bit her lip with rage, saying, "It's all because of them. I just knew about this matter, but they accused me of destroying Kelly's work because I'm apparently too jealous! I-1 am not a good person usually, but... I would never do such a thing. Besides, how can a girl like me possess the strength to do that?" Yasmine was enraged as she spoke. She felt wronged and burst into tears.

"Yes, I'm furious. I'm furious that you took a liking to Kelly's work. What's wrong with ours? Why could her work be exhibited in the exhibition hall? Although I'm angry, I didn't do it."

As soon as Minerva heard that, she understood at once. She slowly looked up, her gaze falling on Yasmine.

"So, you're saying that you had the intention to do this?"

Yasmine was bewildered. Between her sobs, she said, "That's right! I wanted to do it! But I didn't! I didn't damage her dress. Why must I bear the brunt of their accusations?

Minerva let out a deep sigh when she heard Yasmine's words.

"Did I accuse you?"

Yasmine stopped crying. "Do you mean... you don't suspect me?"

"Why would I suspect you?" Minerva shot her a detached stare. "You should leave first. I have other matters to attend to."

Yasmine's cry interrupted Minerva's thoughts. Yasmine looked at her and blinked her eyes for a long time before she reacted. "I thought you were suspecting me like everyone else. I didn't expect you..."

"You may leave. If it's convenient for you, call Vera here."

"Okay!" Yasmine immediately nodded and turned to leave the office.

Vera came in shortly after Yasmine left.

"What's the matter? Yasmine was weeping and her eyes were bloodshot. She didn't cause any trouble for you, did she?"
