Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

After getting in the car, Minerva finally put her feet down. When the car passed by Maddox, Minerva could feel his gaze on her face. When the car drove out of the parking lot, the burning sensation on her face finally disappeared.

Finally, they breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere around them was not so tense anymore. Vera and Kelly finally relaxed. Suddenly, Kelly came over with curiosity.

"What's going on? I'm really curious about what's going on between you and Maddox from Yardley Corporation."

"There's nothing at all." Minerva responded so fast that all the fantasies Kelly conjured up in her mind were shattered instantly.

Kelly's mind went blank for a moment before she gathered her bearings. It took her a long time to react. "That doesn't make sense. If there was nothing between the two of you, then why did he..."

Pretending to be calm, Vera cleared her throat. Then, she whispered, "The past is in the past. Let's not pursue the matter anymore."

Kelly asked, "Were you two involved with each other in the past?"

Hearing that, Minerva glared at Vera, who immediately shut up. "Nothing, I made it up. Anyway, I was really really angry tonight. Let's talk about Yvonne's dress. How did she get it? She even held a press conference to show off. Those people must actually think that Quill is pursuing her!"

Upon hearing that, Minerva too was overwhelmed by the situation. It had developed beyond her expectations and she was unable to keep up.

"Let's wait and see what happens tomorrow. It couldn't be sent by my brother, so..."

"Your brother?" Kelly opened her eyes wide, feeling that she had discovered a big secret again.

"Don't you know?" Vera looked at her in surprise. "Minerva is Quill's little sister."

Kelly felt a little breathless and the corners of her mouth twitched. "Real... Real siblings?"

"Well, what else could it be? Are you suggesting they're step- siblings?" Vera glanced at her in amusement before grabbing Minerva's arm. "Are you very surprised, Kelly? I thought that everyone knew about it. It turns out you didn't know about this."

Kelly couldn't form a response. She had thought that Minerva was Quill's lover. She even formed a theory that he didn't like Minerva that much. That was the only reason that could explain why he kept her around but never made things clear and official.
