Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

"Oh, my, that's a lot." Helen widened her eyes as she stared at the designs in disbelief.

"These are all your works? How can there be so many?" Minerva smiled and said softly, "Most of the items that Quill collected were already available in the market. Sof them had been bought by him, while sof them were purchased in the auction when they were first made known to the public." "Wow, Minerva, Quill is really nice to you." Helen couldn't resist clutching her chest. She was surprised that a cold- faced man like Quill was actually so considerate.

What should she do? She took a liking to Quill too.

"Let's go." Minerva brought her into the hall. "This dress was designed by me, but I haven't revealed it to the public. No one has ever seen it before. Please accept this dress as a token of apology." Helen looked at the dress. It glistened under the light, giving it a three-dimensional image. She was moved to the point of tears. "Minerva, you're amazing. I didn't expect that I would be able to wear your most precious design. Luck must be on my side! Minerva, letinvite you to the press conference. Cwith me!" Minerva pondered for a moment before she nodded.

"Okay." Then, she added suddenly, "Can I bring another guest?" "Yes, please invite whoever you want." Helen had her eyes fixed on the dress.

Minerva glanced at the dress as well.

She felt very satisfied with that dress because it was different from her previous designs and she had made up her mind to keep and cherish it. She didn't expect that she would give it to Helen on that day. Perhaps it was fate.

After all, Helen was just as dazzling as the dress.

Perhaps, everything was predestined! Helen accepted it but she left it with Minerva that day. She told Minerva that she would cto her house to put on the dress during the day of the press conference.

Minerva agreed to it. After Helen left, Minerva returned to the company.

When she arrived at the company, it was about tto get off from work. She was packing up to leave when the lawyer, Mr. Zais, walked in.

"I'm sorry, Miss Hanover. I'm afraid that I can't complete the task you entrusted to me," Mr. Zais said as soon as he walked in. "The Yardley Corporation is not willing to compromise, and... I think it's better for you to talk to them directly." Minerva paused for a moment after hearing his words. Then, she answered, "Why would I need a lawyer if I have to do it myself?" His complexion turned pale, and he struggled to speak for a long time.

At last, he placed the document on the table and began to speak.

"Anyway, I won't take this case. Miss Hanover, it's better hire someone else." "Mr. Zais." Minerva looked at him with a cold expression. "Before taking this case, you clearly understood the background of the other party. You have even signed a contract with me. Are you going to terminate the contract now?" "What's wrong with terminating the contract? Wouldn't it be much worse to lose my job because of a contract?" Mr. Zais placed a cheque on the table. "Besides, you have terminated the contract with the other party. Can't I do that myself? I'm willing to pay the penalty fees." Minerva was at a loss for words.

She glanced at the cheque on the table and raised her eyebrows. "Thrice the penalty fees?" "That's right." Mr. Zais nodded. He looked at the cheque in pain.

Fortunately, the lawyer fees were not too high, so he could afford compensation even though it was three times the initial amount. At first, he had been very upset about the compensation. However, that sum of money was not worth more than his future.

"That's it. I'll make a move first." Mr. Zais left before Minerva had the chance to speak.

After he left, she took the cheque and glanced at it.

Had she made a profit accidentally? She thought to herself.

She had no other choice but to accept his compensation. Minerva kept the cheque and left the company. The next day.

"Mr. Zais called and said that he had paid the penalty fees. He won't accept the case." Vera ran back into the room shortly after she had just left. "What's the matter? He has crossed the line. Did he abandon his responsibilities as a lawyer just because of Maddox?" Upon hearing Vera's words, Minerva put down the pen in her hand. "Don't put the blon him. We can only blMaddox for being too troublesto deal with. Besides, even if this matter is resolved this time, it might happen again sooner or later." After that, Minerva opened her bag and took out the cheque. She then put it on the table.

"This is the penalty fees paid by Mr. Zais. Transfer the money into the company's account." Vera reached out and took the cheque. "This is thrice the amount; it's approximately a few million! D*mn, why is a lawyer like him so wealthy? Does he not feel distressed over losing so much money?" Upon hearing Minerva's words, she couldn't help smiling. "To him, his future must be much more important than this."

If he had been a little more dutiful, he would not be considered to have breached the contract and wouldn't have to compensate the penalty fees. too quickly and However, he gave up too didn't even put in any effort. Moreover, before signing the contract, Minerva had already told Vera to make it clear to Mr. Zais that it would be a troublesmatter.

She had told the lawyers to act according to their abilities and to only accept it if they were confident of it. Mr. Zais accepted the case but gave up after a short while.

"We have made a few million out of the blue, but what are you going to do with the contract? If Maddox is unwilling to terminate the contract, won't you have to face him all the time?" "Let's put it aside for the tbeing." Minerva heaved a sigh. "There's nothing we can do about it. He probably won't disturbfor the next few days."

"Well, we can only do so for the tbeing. We have to settle the urgent I matters first. By the way, I have not is completed the task that you assigned to me. I may take stime." "Alright." As they were conversing, someone pushed open the door of the office.

It was Kelly. She glanced at the two of them before walking in with an envelope in her hand.

"What's the matter?" They asked her.

"When I cin just now, a person handedan envelope to pass it to you." Then, Kelly stepped forward with the envelope in her hands and placed it before Minerva.

"What is it?" Vera was eager to open it.

It was a thick envelope. As Vera was in a hurry to open it, the photos in the envelope fell all over the floor.

Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment. Then, they squatted down to have a look.

"Isn't this Yvonne?" Vera gawked at the person in the photo. "It's strange. Who sent this envelope? And why?"

Minerva stretched out her hand and took the photo. After staring at it for a while, she replied, "Can you check if there are any other things in the En envelope other than the photos?" Vera opened the envelope and her expression changed immediately. "There's also this," she said.
