Vera rushed downstairs in one breath and realized that the two of them were no longer together. Maddox was in the living room and Minerva was nowhere to be seen.

Since Minerva was not around, Vera immediately felt her anger died down when she saw that Maddox was alone.

Perhaps it was the cold aura he emitted, or perhaps because he was once her superior, but Vera felt small in his presence.

Seeing him sitting alone in the living room, Vera was a little scared but still approached him and said, "You.."

Maddox gave a hard glance towards Vera, frightening her, and she almost lost her balance. However... If it was true that he was pursuing Minerva now, and she was Minerva's best friend, it would mean that he would have to get her approval too right?

With this thought in her mind, she felt her fear towards Maddox slowly disappear. Vera coughed lightly.

Maddox's gaze only lingered on her for a few seconds before he looked away. He sat with his legs crossed; his handsome profile was icy cold and his gaze was fairly seductive.

Vera secretly gave Maddox an overall glance and narrowed her eyes. Maddox really was extraordinarily handsome.

How on earth did she escape his temptation in the past? Was it because of his coldness that it had never occurred to her to fall in love with him?

Thinking back on the sufferings that Minerva had been through, Vera couldn't help shuddering. She was fortunate that she hadn't fallen in love with Maddox. Otherwise, wouldn't she be the same as Sylvia? After thinking for a moment, she walked over and asked, "Where is Minerva?"

Maddox's eyes remained still and he said coldly, "Kitchen."

As soon as he replied, Vera heard a sound coming from the kitchen. She quickly slipped past Maddox and walked into the kitchen.

Minerva was about to turn on the stove and start cooking when Vera came in.

Minerva turned around and saw Vera sneakily closing the kitchen door behind her. She looked at her in amusement and asked, "Are you a thief?"

Vera turned her head and glared at Minerva with fear in her eyes.
