Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) -
Chapter 506
"You're willing to listen?" Minerva was a little surprised. He clearly wasn't willing to change his mind yesterday, but why did he ask about her thoughts at that moment? Maddox wrapped an arm around her waist and said warmly, "Talk about it first."
Minerva tried to push him away but his hand was as firm as an iron chain that was fastened around her waist. In the end, she could only endure it and say, "I am willing to give her a chance, but... I request to meet her at court."
If Maddox was willing to give her a chance, she would like to see what Janice was thinking for the past several days and whether being locked up for a few days had changed her mind.
Or, was Janice still the same, still resentful towards her?
Upon hearing her words, tears filled Samantha's eyes and she frantically held Minerva's hand.
"Thank you very much. You really are a good person. As long as Janice can be released this time, I will make her apologize to you and also thank you."
Abigail was speechless as she watched from the side. Maddox had been so firm the day before, yet he could be convinced by a single word from Minerva that day?
Was he... deliberately acting that way in front of Samantha?
After thinking for a while, Abigail shook her head and abandoned all the messy thoughts in her mind.
Minerva had thought of making a decision only after seeing Janice's attitude.
Although Maddox did not know what she was thinking, he respected her thoughts. He would do whatever she said and the entire process would be done according to her wishes. Witnessing Maddox's extremely obedient behavior, Abigail and Samantha were filled with shock, each having their own thoughts.
Abigail felt that Minerva indeed really had her nephew tightly wrapped around her finger. She shook her head helplessly in her heart, yet a smile slowly appeared on her face. As for Samantha, she was very shocked.
When they had first met, Maddox was very cold. Before they met, she had only seen him on TV or in newspapers. Without meeting, she could already feel his power and the sharpness in his eyes. So when Janice had gone on the blind date, she had felt it was normal for Maddox to have such a straight face.
She thought that he was naturally that way and she had been looking forward to the day when her daughter could successfully capture his heart.
However, he was now listening to another woman's words.
And that woman was not her daughter.
It would be false to say that she wasn't jealous.
But was it useful for Samantha to be jealous now? She was experienced. She knew that if a man had feelings for a woman, it would remain unshaken no matter what. There was no need to put in effort to attract him anymore. He would naturally approach the woman that he loves, fawn on her, and please her.
However, if his heart was not with you, no matter how hard you try, he would not even look at you.
This was especially true for a man like Maddox Yardley.
The fact that her daughter had lost to someone else meant that her skills were inferior and Samantha acknowledged it!
Now, she only wanted her daughter to come out safe and sound. Thinking of this, Samantha held her hands nervously and looked at Minerva. She hoped that Minerva was a kind and soft-hearted person. "You want to come with us?" Minerva couldn't help but frown when she heard Maddox say that they should set off together. Even Abigail, who was at the side, had walked over. "No, you're still injured. It doesn't matter if you walk around in the ward, but if you go out with us, it will definitely take a toll on you!" Abigail said.
Minerva nodded in agreement. "That's right. You can't go with us. You should stay in the ward and rest."
"Impossible," Maddox pursed his thin lips and said with a cold expression. "I was supposed to go to the court today anyway. It won't be long."
Upon hearing the news, Samantha's face paled. She was an outsider and it would be inappropriate for her to express her opinion. Of course, she did not want Maddox to go along. After all... If Maddox did not go, she could beg Minerva for more help. Women were always easier to become soft-hearted.
Abigail said, "Can't you listen to my advice? You are still injured."
Maddox said coldly, "Walking isn't a problem for me."
In the end, Abigail could only look at Minerva with pleading eyes.
In fact, Minerva couldn't do anything about it. She couldn't do anything about Maddox's personality. She could only look at Maddox. She had the same idea as Abigail and didn't want Maddox to go with them. "You don't have to persuade me," Maddox only spoke those words to her.
Minerva pondered for a moment before saying, "Then let's go. Let's meet Miss Lowell first before making a decision."
Abigail was speechless.
That was all the advice she gave? Forget it; what was she worried about? If and when Maddox could no longer endure the pain and collapse, she could just get someone to bring him back to the hospital. It wasn't a big deal. He wouldn't die anyway.
If he didn't even care about it himself, why should she, his aunt, care so much?
When the decision was made, the group of people went straight to see Janice.
Janice had suffered a lot in the detention room throughout the past couple of days. It was dark and it couldn't be compared to her usual bedroom at all. She didn't have a big bathtub nor beautiful clothes. She had reflected for many days and couldn't eat anything.
In the beginning, she always threw the food on the ground and refused to eat it, thinking that it wasn't food for humans to eat.
However, since she had indeed committed a crime, why would she be served with luxurious fish and meat? It wasn't as though the officers were her family and had to accommodate her tantrums.
In the end, Janice had gotten so hungry that she didn't dare to knock the food over again. She ate everything and was full of resentment and anger.
She was waiting; she had to go out.
The reason why she had become like this was all because of that b*tch, Minerva Hanover!
If it wasn't for Minerva, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
When Janice heard that someone was visiting her, she was so happy that she had burst into tears. It must be her mother who had come to save her!
Janice went out with hope, only to see a group of people present in the visiting room.
She hadn't been convicted yet so she could still see them directly.
"Janice!" When Samantha saw her, tears immediately flowed down her eyes, and then she quickly walked towards Janice.
"Mom!" Janice's eyes turned red and she threw herself into her mother's arms. She couldn't help but cry loudly, "Mom, you finally came. I feel so aggrieved here."
They hugged each other and cried together. Samantha caressed Janice's head and felt concerned for her. "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you. How are you? Why have you gotten so skinny?" Janice raised her head and was about to accuse Minerva when she saw Maddox standing beside her.
She admired him deeply. Hence, when she saw that he was looking at the messy state that she was in, Janice suddenly felt ashamed. She suddenly reached out to cover her face and threw herself into her mother's arms in shock.
