Benedict pursed his lips and quietly looked at her, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he replied softly, "It's not that I don't remember. I have never lied to you. What are you talking about?"

Minerva reminded him in a cold voice.

"Didn't you direct what had happened at the banquet all those years ago?" If it wasn't for that banquet, there wouldn't have been such a big misunderstanding between her and Maddox. Although, she knew that if they had trusted each other more, there would not have been such a problem.

However, how could Minerva not suspect Benedict?

After all, back then, Old Master Yardley had asked her to keep an eye on Maddox. Benedict was there too. Therefore, she couldn't believe that he was innocent.

Benedict was stunned.

He couldn't believe it. There was a touch of astonishment in his warm eyes and he looked hurt.

He lowered his head and laughed bitterly. He then said softly.

"So that's what you think."

"That's what I've been thinking." Minerva looked at him. "So, can we cancel our cooperation now? No matter what your motive is, I don't want to become a sacrificial lamb." Benedict slowly raised his head and grabbed her hand that was on the table. When Minerva came into contact with his warm palm, she froze and wanted to pull her hand back. However, Benedict grabbed her tightly and looked at her.

His gaze was no longer warm but sorrowful.

"You said that I was the one who planned it. Did you think that I had directed the car accident too?"

Minerva had originally wanted to struggle, but when she heard this sentence, she lost all of her strength. She was stunned.

When she thought of the car accident, Minerva's face became pale. Her lips opened slightly but she couldn't say a word as she looked at Benedict.

Of course, she wouldn't have thought that he was the one who had planned the car accident.
