It was fine if Minerva didn't ask her, but Vera felt guilty when she was asked. She shook her head and answered, "Nothing." Upon hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but frown. Just as she was about to say something, Juliette smiled and interrupted, "Since you're here, I have smatters to attend to. I'll leave Minerva in your care." Vera stared at her gratefully and nodded, "Don't worry, leave it to me." After Juliette left, she walked up to Minerva and asked, "Minerva, do you want swater? I'll pour sfor you." Hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but frown. She looked at her thoughtfully. Vera felt guilty, thus she lowered her head.
"I'm fine. In fact, you don't have to take care ofhere all the time. I am not a patient nor a child. I can take care of myself." "What? No!" Vera shook her head vigorously. "Although you are neither a patient nor a child, you are a fragile pregnant woman. How can I let a pregnant woman stay here all alone?" A pregnant woman...
Minerva lowered her head and caressed her lower abdomen.
She really didn't expect that she would have another life in her belly but at this very moment...
She closed her eyes and let out a heavy sigh.
She hoped that Maddox would return soon.
Back in the country.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot long after the news regarding Maddox being involved in a plane crash was spread, the shareholders of the company all found out about this. However, the strange thing was that they were all calm and composed. It seemed like they didn't even know Maddox was involved in a crash.
Everyone was at ease.
Benedict waited in his own company for a few days, but he didn't receive any news nor even a single phone call.
He was not anxious at all. However, his assistant was so anxious that he went directly to the Yardley Corporation. Who would have expected that after he had expressed his thoughts, the board of directors ignored him and even asked the security guards to drive him out? He was so furious that he complained to Benedict after he went back to the company.
"Mr. Benedict, those old men have gone too far. They threwout of the company and even ignoredwhen I mentioned your name!" In his seat, Benedict originally looked calm, but after hearing what he said, the gaze in his eyes becsinister and ruthless.
But soon, he regained his composure. Pursing his lips, he stood up.
"Didn't I tell you not to worry?" There was a hint of displeasure in his voice.
The assistant was stunned for a moment. Then, he shrunk his neck and answered, "I can't stand it anymore. For so many days, none of them cto us. Young Master Benedict, you are also the son of the Yardley family. Why is it that Maddox can take over everything while you have to live under this small company and suffer from the suppression of the Yardley Corporation? I can't stand it. Why is it like this? Is i because you are an illegitimate child..." A dangerous gaze swept across him, and the assistant's words stopped in time. He saw that the aura around Benedict had becterrifying and gloomy; it was a complete change from his usual self. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to say another word.
An illegitimate child? For Benedict, this word was too hurtful.
Just because he was an illegitimate child, and because Maddox was born earlier than him, he would never be able to inherit the family property. Even if he was born earlier, he was still considered an illegitimate child. Even though his mother had beca legal wife, everyone in the family knew that his mother was actually the mistress.
It was fine if things ended here.
If he had enough strength, he could have shut those people up.
However, Old Master Yardley didn't take a liking to him. Although he privately told him that he would hand over the Yardley Corporation to him, but look what happened in the end? Maddox becthe president of the company, and he was the vice president. He had to listen to all of Maddox's commands. As long as Maddox didn't agree, there was nothing that he could proceed without his consent. The two of them were born rivals and he wanted to replace him. Maddox would naturally not be polite to him and would deliberately make things difficult for him in his business.
The war between the two had lasted for ages.
"Since they don't want to see you, then you'd better not go anymore. Just wait patiently." He was just an assistant. Even Benedict was not anxious, so what could he do? That night, Benedict received a call.
"Hi, it's Mr. Lowell. I think you know why I called you right?" Mr. Lowell was one of the shareholders. When he was still in Yardley Corporation, Mr. Lowell had been very optimistic about him, but... Benedict knew that this person was someone who would be loyal to whoever was in power.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEver since Maddox had taken over the company, he hadn't contacted Benedict once.
Now, it was obvious what his intention was.
Benedict sneered in his heart, but he pretended to be polite and said, "Mr. Lowell, what can I do for you?" Mr. Lowell let out a dry chuckle at the other end and said directly, "Your assistant chere this afternoon. I've heard from the board of directors that Maddox is not found yet. However, I've already sent people to check on that plane. Many people have died and only a handful of lucky people survived." "So, Mr. Lowell, what do you mean?" "Maddox probably won't be able to cback. If he dies, the Yardley Corporation will definitely ask you to be in charge." Benedict remained calm and collected. He was not in a hurry, but there was a smirk on his face.
Seeing that he was silent, Mr. Lowell hesitated for a while before saying, "You, have you thought of this possibility?" Benedict smiled lightly. "Mr. Lowell, you must be joking. I believe you've heard about what happened in the afternoon. I'm afraid it'll be difficult forto join the Yardley Corporation again." "It's not impossible for you to join the Yardley Corporation." Benedict squinted his eyes.
"The reason why the directors drove him away was because you don't have any shares." As a matter of fact, Benedict had already guessed it. The only way for these old hags to listen to you were your shares.
"As far as I know, Old Master Yardley... he is almost fully recovered? Perhaps you can go and s for him. Mr. Lowell's laughter sounded particularly cunning over the phone; it didn't sound sincere at all. Benedict licked his thin lips, closed his eyes, and hid the darkness in his gaze.
After Maddox took control of the entire Yardley Corporation, there seemed to be something wrong with Old Master Yardley's mental health, and he was sent off to a mental hospital. Now... No one knew how he was doing.
"The shares are in Maddox's hands. If anything happens to him, then these shares... You mustn't You letdown.
When you were still in the Yardley Corporation, I could see that you had the potential." Let him down? Benedict sneered. He would never let himself down.
