His gaze made Minerva's heart skip a beat, yet she quickly regained her senses. She then straightened her clothes and was about to leave.

Maddox's deep voice sounded from the back.

"Are you going to abandon me after you used me?"

Minerva halted her footsteps, gritting her teeth. She spoke clearly without turning around.

"Mr. Yardley, please understand this. I'm not using you, but you are pestering me, and I don't want to collaborate with you because of this. You're right, I hate you and I do not wish to see you anymore. Thus, please don't appear in front of me again in the future. I hope that we will have nothing to do with each other and become strangers."

Maddox stared at the woman who stood upright.

She was firm and resolute when she spoke these words. It was obvious that she was serious about it.

She had despised him so much in the past five years.

Maddox's eyes dimmed at this moment. He merely looked at her without saying a word and sneered, "Am I a stranger?"
