Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 553

Due to the incident of the dead rabbit, Vera and Minerva's psychological state had been affected. After the management personnel left, they took out a mop to wipe where the parcel was placed. After mopping four or five times, they still felt uncomfortable.

"Why do I feel that it's still reeking of the smell of blood in this room..."

Upon hearing this, Minerva frowned. She got up and went to open the windows. The night breeze blew into the room, dispelling the bloody smell left by the dead rabbit.

However, Vera still felt that this was not enough. She thought for a while and took out her perfume from her bag and sprayed it in every corner of the room.

Seeing that Vera had calmed down, Minerva said, "Go take a bath. Then, let's pack up and head out for a meal."

Vera was shocked, "At this hour? It's already late. Wouldn't it be a little dangerous?"

She still had a lingering fear.

Minerva considered for a moment and also felt that it was a little risky to go out. Hence, she said, "Forget it. Let's just cook something simple."

Therefore, the two went back to their respective rooms to wash up. After that, they went downstairs to cook something simple.

Beanie was ordered back to his room before he could even see what was in the parcel, thus he had no idea.

At that moment, he was hungry and ate the food cooked by Minerva happily.

However, among the three people at the dining table, he was the only one who had a good appetite.

Meanwhile, Minerva and Vera were sitting across from each other. They didn't even pick up their cutlery.

They just... couldn't bring themselves to eat.

After witnessing such a bloody scene, they really had no appetite at all.

Vera glanced at Minerva and blinked her eyes. "Are you not going to eat?"

Minerva looked up and stared at her.

"What about you?"

Vera smiled. "I don't have the appetite."

Minerva also smiled and didn't reply.

Beanie, who was beside them, raised his head from the food and stared at them curiously. "Mommy, Auntie Vera, what's wrong?"

Minerva touched the back of Beanie's head and gently stroked it. "Beanie, hurry up and eat. Then, you may watch TV for a while before taking a bath. You should go to sleep after that." "But Mommy, aren't you two hungry?"

Minerva smiled and answered softly, "I'm not hungry now. You can eat first. We'll eat later when we are hungry."

"Okay." Beanie nodded and continued to eat.

This time, he ate quickly and then set down his fork. "Mommy, I'm full. I don't feel like watching TV this evening. I want to use your laptop, is that okay?"

"Of course, go ahead. Remember not to sleep too late."

"Good night, Mommy. Good night, Auntie Vera."

He climbed the stairs with his short legs under the two adult's watch and entered the room. Then, they looked away. Vera sighed, looked at the food in front of her and touched her stomach.

Growl...

"I'm so hungry but I can't bring myself to take a bite. What should I do?"

Minerva's stomach also started to rumble. Having not eaten for an entire day, she was indeed a little hungry.

After thinking for a while, Minerva picked up her fork and said with a smile, "Come on, pick up the fork and let's eat together."

The corner of Vera's lips twitched. "You are not being serious, are you? Can you really eat?"

"Even if I can't, I have to." Minerva really took some food and shoved it into her mouth. She tried her best not to think about the gory scene she had witnessed. Vera looked at her blankly. She had thought that Minerva would spit the food out halfway, but she swallowed everything.

After successfully stuffing her stomach, Minerva cleaned up her plate and cutleries. Then, she stood up. "I'm full, so I'll go and rest. Think of a way to get yourself to eat."

After she finished speaking, Minerva turned around and walked away. Behind her, Vera called her a traitor.

After Minerva went upstairs, she went into the bathroom as soon as possible and retched in the basin.

Although she could pretend that nothing had happened and ate it, she still couldn't get over it. Minerva leaned against the basin and retched for a long time before she came to her senses. Then, she wearily leaned against the wall, looking at her own pale face in the mirror.

Just who was it that did such a thing in the dark?

If a dead rabbit was sent to them that day, what would be sent the next day?

Perhaps, she should consider sending Beanie to Quill first and let her brother take care of him for some time.

But if that was the case, Quill would know about these matters and he would try to interfere. That way, she would never be independent.

If she didn't send Beanie away, he might see such a gory thing one day. He was still so young and she didn't want him to be traumatized.

Moreover, at this very moment, after bringing Minerva's laptop back to his room, Beanie hid under his blanket and placed the laptop flat on his lap. A pair of tender and soft little hands danced on the keyboard.

Soon, he managed to locate the surveillance camera footage. Then, he held his chin with his little hand and stared at the situation on the screen carefully.

In fact, when Minerva didn't allow him to witness it just now, Beanie went upstairs and deliberately took his precious binoculars to secretly spy on the situation downstairs.

After all, it must be very frightening to have made Minerva's face that pale and made her stop him from witnessing it.

There must be a reason why she did her best not to let him witness it.

However, the more she acted like this, the more Beanie had to know what it was. Only then could he replace a solution to the problem.

"Mommy is too tired. I can't always let her protect me."

After Beanie downloaded the footage, he screenshotted the picture of the dead rabbit and made a back-up. He typed in a person's email and sent it.

Humph.

He couldn't just let his Daddy sit idly and do nothing. These threats had to be dealt with immediately.

Ding...

Only one lamp was lit up in the study at night. Maddox, who was supposed to do his work, was sitting in front of the computer, watching the replay of the live broadcast.

It was the scene of the banquet at the Hanover family home. Maddox ordered someone to edit the video of the live broadcast and most of the scenes with Minerva in it were sent to him.

After receiving it, Maddox smirked and opened the video. Then, he sat in front of the computer and watched the replays over and over again.

In fact, he also managed to tweak the footage in the dressing room and the dancing video of him and Minerva was also recorded. Maddox had been watching this scene over and over again. All of a sudden, a new email appeared in the notification.

Usually, his mailbox would be emails from work. Thus, in the middle of the night, he didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Thinking of this, he frowned and ignored the notification at the lower right corner of the screen. Then, he continued to watch the video.

As for Beanie, who was waiting for Maddox to read the email, saw that the receiver had not read the email when he was obviously online. Beanie was so angry that his cheeks bulged. "Humph, Daddy, you don't read emails in the middle of the night, do you?"

After thinking for a bit, his fingers began tapping on the keyboard again. At the same time, he said, "Let me see what you are doing!"
