Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 420

"Let her pick up the phone and return it to me. After that, let them leave," Minerva said softly as she walked out.

Minerva's gaze landed on Emily. She wore a pitiful look with puffy eyes. She was the one who initiated the argument and was arrogant. However, why did she look as if she was the one being bullied?

But it didn't matter anymore.

Minerva stared at her. "It's my fault that I hit your car. I've been apologizing and talking about compensation. This young lady has been finding fault with me. She refused to make peace with me. When I was about to call the police, you rushed over and shoved my phone away. You are at fault for this, yet I won't ask for much. You can just pick up the phone and return it to me."

Emily had to pick up the phone for her even without an apology.

Minerva would not compromise on this.

Emily could have admitted defeat. On the contrary, she squawked with her eyes wide open, "Why should I pick up the phone for you? You hit my car. So what if I don't let you go? So what if I shove your mobile phone away? Don't you think that you should make up for your mistake?"

The scene was silent for a while.

Maddox frowned and walked up unpleasantly.

Nevertheless, Minerva stretched out her hand and grabbed him. "I'll manage it myself."

"You?" Maddox narrowed his eyes and uttered in a menacing tone, "You'd better not swallow your anger. Otherwise... I will not restrain myself from going against the Quartley family."

Minerva looked at him strangely. What was going on with him? Wasn't he trying to humiliate her? Why was he helping her instead?

His actions puzzled Minerva very much. She didn't dwell on it but walked toward Nickolas and Emily.

"Since you neither want to pick up the phone nor apologize, then I won't be responsible for the repair fees."

She gave in and could only offer such concessions to them. As such, she could pick up the phone on her own, but she would not pay for the repair fee of the car.

"How dare you!"

Emily's expression changed and stepped forward to shove her roughly. "Why are you so irresponsible?"

She shoved Minerva with all her might, causing her to stagger forward.

Just as she was about to fall, a figure caught hold of Minerva.

Maddox took her into his arms right away. He looked at Nickolas, sneering, "Just you wait, Nickolas, till I get my hands on you!"

After he finished speaking, he directly lifted Minerva up in his arms before anyone could speak.

Minerva yelled, "Put me down!"

"Sam!" Maddox called out coldly. Sam, who disguised himself as an onlooker came to his senses at once.

"My goodness!"

He thought he had disguised himself perfectly. How could he be discovered by Maddox?

"Hurry up and come out to settle things over here."

Maddox shouted at him in an angry voice. Sam realized at once and walked out from the crowd.

"Young Master Yardley."

Apparently, he had just arrived at the spot not long ago, and he failed to spot Minerva's face from afar.

He was curious to know the woman whom Maddox had fallen head over heels for.

Sam came near Maddox and eventually saw Minerva's face clearly as she was in Maddox's arms. He widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Why are you stunned? I'll leave the matter here to you."

Maddox's voice brought Sam back to his senses. He nodded. "Yes, I'll handle it well."

Maddox took Minerva away without hesitation, ignoring her wishes.

Minerva was carried into a car by him. She only regained her senses when he bent down to fasten her seatbelt.

When she was about to speak, Maddox glanced at her. "There's no point in you saying that you want to go back yourself."

After that, he slammed the door shut and went to the other side of the car.

Minerva was lost for words.
