Vera stared at her with a knowing smile.

"Don't blame me for having such thoughts. After all, both of you were in a locked room!"

Vera teased Minerva and smiled. However, the smile on Vera's face froze suddenly and she took a few steps back.

Seeing Vera's reaction, Minerva did not have to guess too hard to know what had happened.

She did not need to face the stairs to know that Maddox had come down from the bedroom.

Maddox was the only person who could bring such fear into Vera.

Minerva went into the kitchen and brought out another plate and a set of cutlery.

She sat herself down at the dining table and Maddox sat down beside her. He pursed his lips unhappily when he saw that he had nothing in front of him.

Minerva replied pointedly, "We are not your servants. If you want to eat, go and take your own cutlery."

Maddox was interrupted at the most critical moment and even though he had already cleaned up and come downstairs, his surrounding aura was still cold. Just by sitting at the dining table, the surroundings had become even colder.

Vera nodded in agreement with Minerva's words.

As soon as she nodded, Vera felt a cold glare directed towards her, and it sent chills down her spine.

Maddox's eyes were dark and if looks could kill, Vera would have dropped dead in that instant.

"I, I'm going to go get you a plate and a set of cutlery!" Vera said.

Without waiting for anyone to speak, Vera went into the kitchen, brought the things out and placed them in front of Maddox.

"Here's your plate and your set of cutlery."

Minerva was a little unhappy to see this.

"Didn't I just say otherwise? We are not your servants. If you want to be served during a meal, this is not the place so you can leave now."

Maddox raised his eyebrows and glanced at her. He said coldly.

"I didn't ask her to serve me." Vera knew that she had interrupted them just now. One could tell from Maddox's expression that he hadn't done the deed. She had interrupted them at the critical moment. That was why she was receiving cold and murderous glares from him.
