"By the way, did you see Maddox when you came in? Isn't he downstairs?" Minerva couldn't help but ask.

She still felt that something was wrong.

Vera's eyes suddenly became evasive. She bit her lower lip and said, "Yes, he's downstairs."

"He's downstairs?"

Minerva furrowed her defined brows. "I thought you said that you didn't see him?"

"I was startled just now, so... I replied with the wrong answer!" Vera was a bit incoherent as she spoke.

All of a sudden, Minerva stared at her with eagle sharp eyes.

"What's the matter? You're stuttering. Did he find out?"

Vera's face changed. She quickly shook her head.

"No, he didn't. If he did, how could you still get it? It's just that when he saw me, he asked why I was here. I told him I was here to pass you some documents... Then, he let me come up. However, he didn't look good. When he spoke, he looked like he could kill me. I am still scared thinking about it."

When she was explaining, Vera didn't dare to look into Minerva's eyes. She was afraid that Minerva would sense that she was lying.

She looked down at her toes with an uneasy expression, her lips curled tightly.

In fact, when Vera entered the house, she thought that there was no one there, so she quickly went upstairs to find Minerva in the bedroom.

However, she did not expect to be stopped by a cold voice as soon as she reached the stairs.

Vera certainly knew who it was. That was why she was so scared that she didn't dare to look straight into his eyes. When she turned around, she was trembling. "President Yardley..."

He stared at her cold-heartedly and then looked at the bag in her hand.

Vera could feel a chill running down her spine and she started sweating. She almost even fainted.
