Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

He didn't know whether it was selfishness or something else.

Geoffrey wasn't sure if Lolita's attitude towards him had changed, but he sure had. That was why he was guilty when Minerva asked.

Geoffrey was quite regretful. If he had known that a single word would cause such a big change, he wouldn't have blabbered.

Minerva looked at Geoffrey. It seemed that he had fallen into deep thought all of a sudden. Judging by his looks, he was probably thinking about Lolita. She waved her hand in front of his face. "What are you thinking about?"

Geoffrey came back to his senses. Seeing that Minerva was looking at him, his face flushed red, and he took two steps back.

"Nothing. Minerva, do you know anything about Lolita?"

Minerva was caught off guard. She had only known Lolita for a short time; apart from seeing each other in the company, they barely saw each other privately, so she didn't know a lot. Besides, she wasn't the type to gossip either, so she only knew what Lolita had told her.

Geoffrey's expression became serious. "After you returned, some people tried to catch her several times, but she always had to run away in a flurry. She didn't say anything when I asked her at first. I thought she had offended someone or owed money. Later, there was once after I helped her, she told me that she was escaping a marriage."

Minerva nodded. "She had brought it up before. But she only briefly mentioned it. I don't know the details."

"Her family wanted to marry her off to a man she didn't know in exchange for profit. She was unwilling, so her family cut her off financially and forbade her from leaving the house. Later, she found a chance to escape."

"You both probably met after that."

Marrying a stranger in exchange for profit?

Listening to Geoffrey's words, Minerva suddenly thought of herself.

Back then... the Shell family had made her take Erica's place to marry into the Yardley family. Wasn't it for profit too? At that time, she had just gotten a divorce and was already forced to remarry. She couldn't believe there were such cruel parents. It was only later that she discovered they were not her biological parents.
