Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 457

Vera and Kelly, who were sitting there, saw this scene. They were so scared that their faces turned pale. Their eyes were wide open, staring in disbelief.

Everything happened so suddenly that even Minerva did not expect that her heels would suddenly break at that time. Furthermore, there was nothing around her that she could grab onto for support, so she fell uncontrollably to the side.

She thought that she might hit her head on something, so she subconsciously reached out to protect her own face and head.

However, just as she moved her hands, she was held by someone firmly.

In the next second, she fell into Maddox's arms.

Vera and Kelly were stunned into silence; it was as if their shocked expressions had stopped in time.

Minerva thought that she would end up getting hurt badly, but she didn't get hurt at all. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace. Maddox's strong, masculine aura had completely wrapped around her. His hand that was clutching her wrist also then gripped her waist. Then, he grabbed her chin with one hand and lifted her head up.

"Are you okay?" His voice was anxious and his face was pale as he seemed to be frightened.

Minerva's fear was still lingering. Her heart throbbed as she shook her head subconsciously.

"I, I'm fine."

Maddox stared at her for a long while. Then, he suddenly stretched out his hands and pulled her into his embrace.

Bang!

Just at this time, the stage's lighting in the audience area was turned off again for the sake of the lighting effect and the surrounding area was plunged into darkness.

It was very quiet all around. It was so quiet that Minerva could hear her own heartbeat and she could also hear the heartbeat of the other person.

She was held tightly in Maddox's arms and the heat from his body passed on to her, surrounding her with warmth. Maddox tightened his arms and held her closer. He was so strong that his embrace almost crushed her bones.

But... for some reason, Minerva didn't push him away.

At that moment, she suddenly felt Maddox's nervousness towards her.

When he caught her just now, his slightly pale face showed that he was worried for her.

The music rang and it was a particularly quiet ding-dong sound. Every sound knocked on Minerva's heart, one after another, as if it was hitting on her heart.

The person who was holding her also stopped moving for a moment. After a long time, he lowered his head, and his thin lips seemed to have kissed her hair.

This clear sense of touch made Minerva's senses become sensitive in an instant. She suddenly came back to her senses and realised that she was still in Maddox's arms. When she thought of what he had said to her before, she broke away from Maddox's hug.

"Thank you, Mr. Yardley."

Minerva was still in a state of shock while she found her seat and sat down. Then, she felt annoyed to find that her heel had broken.

What was going on? Why was the quality of this shoe so terrible?

Thinking of this, Minerva pursed her lips. When she was thinking about what she would do if her shoe was broken, Maddox's deep voice was heard.

"It's useless to just say thank you with your mouth."

The warm breath had already reached the back of her ears, and Minerva slightly frowned, furrowing her eyebrows.

She bit her lower lip and pretended not to hear Maddox's words.

After that, the activities on the stage began, and the audience area was still in the dark. Everyone was sitting down quietly. Vera and Kelly who were sitting beside Minerva probably were still in shock, so they kept silent.

If Minerva hadn't known that they were sitting by her side, she might have thought that she was the only one there!

Vera was furious, but after hearing Minerva's words, she could only suppress the anger in her heart. However, she was not in the mood anymore after she sat down.

Minerva obviously knew that she was angry now, but things had already developed to this extent. There was nothing else she could do to change it. She could only say in a low voice, "Don't be angry, we'll talk about it later."

The lights were turned on all the way to the end because there was an interview session.

The media reporters asked questions to the two of them on stage, and then they took pictures for five minutes.

Taking advantage of the crowd, Vera said angrily, "What's going on? That skirt was obviously bought already, wasn't it? Why was she wearing it? What the hell is going on? Minerva!"

Minerva remembered what Helen had told her, so she passed the message on to Vera.

"That's how things went. As for the rest, I don't know much about it."

"F**k! That's impossible! Quill was the one who bought the dress. Did Quill give it to Yvonne? F**k! Why does he have such poor taste? How could he give the dress to Yvonne?"

Minerva answered, "It's not him. This matter is a little complicated. Let's just talk about it later and see how things go."

Although Vera was very angry, she did not ask any more questions after hearing what Minerva said. She just gloomily assumed that if Quill was the one who gave the dress to Yvonne, then... She would not regard him as Prince Charming anymore in the future.

"My Prince Charming will never do such a low-standard thing!"

At this time, the question and answer session on the stage had begun.

Some people might have wanted to stir up some drama, so they asked Yvonne an explosive question.

"Miss Arnold, I heard that you attended today's press conference because you like this jewelry brand. However, if you like this brand so much, why did you have to wear such a high quality fake dress to attend?"
