After the meeting.

Minerva immediately called a car to send Sam to the hospital.

Sam was unwilling at first but Minerva said, "You're badly injured. If they didn't heal well, how are you going to deal with the company's affairs? We still have a tough battle to fight."

Sam was persuaded by her so he went to the hospital obediently.

As Minerva was returning to her office, she was stopped by a person at the corner.

After identifying the person who stood in her way, Minerva stopped and looked at him coldly.

"What's the matter?"

Benedict was the one who stood in front of her. Old master Yardley was no longer with him as he was sent back to the sanatorium.

No matter how shrewd his eyes were, he was just an old man who sat in a wheelchair and couldn't stand up. He didn't have the ability to resist. If he made a fuss, then it would just become another reason to send him to the sanatorium.

It's not that Minerva doesn't respect the elders. But after Maddox said that Old Master Yardley killed his mother just to force him to return home, Minerva just couldn't respect him.

How much trauma did this left in Maddox's childhood?

Old Master Yardley couldn't be considered as an elder at all. He was just treating Maddox as a chess for his profit.

Benedict stood in front of her, looking down at the documents in her hands.

Minerva didn't know why but she felt a shiver that ran down her spine after being stared at by his gaze. She took two wary steps back. Benedict paused for a moment and he suddenly looked up. "You're so wary of me now?" Benedict asked.

Minerva didn't say anything.

"We're not even friends anymore? I didn't expect... that we would turn out like this?" Benedict took a step forward and approached Minerva.

Minerva widened her eyes and took two steps back. Suddenly, Benedict reached out his hands and grabbed her arm. He raised her hands to the top of her head and pressed them against the cold wall next to her.
