Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 540

"Hidalgo? It's impossible for me to go there in these coming years. Why don't you come to Earlington if you have the chance?"

Maddox was in a good mood and nodded.

"Absolutely."

"Remember to bring your lover along with you."

These words were so pleasing to the ears, thus Maddox agreed with him immediately.

"You are so easy to talk to today."

The designer seemed to think that Maddox was easy to talk to, thus he wanted to ask him for more favors. However, Maddox had already hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Maddox took out his phone and adjusted the angle. He was about to sneak a few photos and keep them. However, just as he took out his phone, he noticed that a group of people were also taking pictures of Minerva with their phones.

Maddox frowned and his aura suddenly became cold.

Did he make a mistake?

If she wore the most luxurious gown, wouldn't she become the focus of the banquet?

Moreover, although it was a banquet to announce Minerva's identity to the public that day, Quill had definitely held it in order to gain suitors for her.

Humph, that's Quill's plan.

Maddox was no longer in the mood to take photos. He put away his phone and stared at the people around him unhappily.

He stood beside three single men from noble families who were invited to the banquet. After all, this kind of banquet would give them more opportunities to meet other upper-class people, which would be helpful to their careers.

To them, getting to know women was secondary to their main purpose.

However, when they saw Minerva, they couldn't help but be tempted. They took pictures while smiling.

"President Hanover is really something. He actually hid his beautiful sister until now." One of them said with a smile after taking countless photos of Minerva.

The person beside him laughed and continued, "That's right. If I have such a pretty sister, I will hide her too. After all, you are all like a pack of wolves. She would definitely be taken by the likes of you if she was not hidden well."

"We are all the same. What are you talking about?"

"I heard that most of the invited guests this time are single men. Can you guess what President Hanover's intention is?"

"What else can it be? Hadn't he given her a makeover and introduced her to everyone? But isn't it strange that such a beautiful woman doesn't have a partner? She even needs her brother to give her a helping hand in replaceing a suitor."

"What do you know? President Hanover has been hiding and holding this sister of his in high regard. Naturally, it is not easy to attract the eyes of ordinary people. I am afraid that most of the people here today are just ornaments, including us."

The person who had just been insulted felt dissatisfied and rebutted directly, "What ornament? Although the Hanover family holds a high position in North City, if we are just ornaments, then only President Yardley of the Yardley family could attract President Hanover's attention."

Maddox, whose name had been mentioned, harrumphed coldly in his heart.

"At least you are aware of it."

Yet, his face changed in the next second, because someone retorted.

"I don't think so. Yardley Corporation and Hanover Corporation have fought many times over the years. People who don't know the truth may think that they have a personal grudge. We may not be ornaments and there's still a chance. As far as I know, President Hanover's sister is an abandoned woman."

Abandoned woman...

Maddox narrowed his eyes and stared darkly at the person who had spoken.

"You don't know, do you? This woman had been married before, but I heard that she was dumped... Ouch..." Before he could finish his words, his collar was grabbed by someone unexpectedly. The people nex to him were shocked as they witnessed this scene in surprise.

"Who are you? What are you doing?"

Maddox grabbed the man's collar, as if he was looking at a dead man.

"How daring of you. I dare you to repeat what you just said."

The words coming out of his thin lips were so cold that it made people shiver from fear.

"I... I...". The man couldn't let out a word for a long time. Looking at the man in front who was emitting a cold aura, he felt that he looked vaguely familiar, but... He couldn't recall where he had seen him before. "I'm sorry, but did my friend say something wrong to offend you?" When the man's friends noticed that Maddox's disposition was extraordinary and that he was not one to be trifled with, they blurted out immediately.

Maddox's lips curled up slightly. There was a hint of bloodlust in his smile.

"If I hear you talk about her in the future, don't blame me when I wipe out your company."

His words made everyone's face change.

How dare he be so arrogant?

There weren't many people in North City who would dare to say such things in front of other companies, other than...

One of the men's eyes flashed as if he had realized something. He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, sir. We'll be cautious in our words and deeds in the future. We won't say anything unfavorable towards Miss Hanover ever again."

After that, he glanced at Maddox and the hands that were grabbing his friend's collar. He pleaded, "Sir, please let go of your hand.

My friend just has a bad habit of running his mouth."

Maddox glanced at the person who spoke and then at the person in front of him. When he saw that the person's expression had changed and he dared not utter a single word, he laughed coldly and let go of his hand.

"Get lost."

"Yes, immediately."

The few of them quickly picked up their stuff and quietly left the banquet.

The man whose collar was grabbed was still in shock even after he left.

"F*ck, what's wrong with that man? How dare he grab my collar? Does he want to die?"

"I think it's you who wants to die! Do you know who he is?"

"Who is he?"

"If I'm not mistaken, he's probably from the Yardley Corporation in North City that you just mentioned."

"The Yardley Corporation in North City?"

The man was shocked. "How is that possible? That man was wearing a mask. I was still wondering why he didn't dare to reveal his real face and that he appeared at such a banquet with a mask..." "Don't talk nonsense. Let's go. You've provoked the Yardley Corporation... Not to mention Miss Hanover. You may not even have access to get ordinary girls in the future."

The name Yardley Corporation itself was really frightening. Although they were not happy with it, what could they do?

They were inferior, therefore they could only choose to leave in dismay.

This small collision didn't cause much of a stir. After all, there were so many people at the party and there was music playing at the scene. The people nearby had witnessed such a scene, but once those men had walked away and the situation calmed down, they didn't say anything else.

However, occasionally, there would be some girls who would turn around to secretly observe Maddox. Their eyes were filled with adoration.

On the stage, Minerva had already introduced herself to everyone. Quill said some polite words again. Without a doubt, he wanted everyone to think highly of his sister.

Minerva was quite tired from all these things. The main reason stemmed from her heavy outfit. When she noticed that Quill had finished introducing her, she moved close to him and asked in a soft voice. "Quill, since I'm done with the introductions, can I go backstage to take off this gown first?"
