Doesn't matter?
Hearing Kelly's words, Minerva's gaze gradually deepened. She said in a much softer tone, looking forward into emptiness.
"Why would you say so? Compared to the unseeable future, I cherish all my past awards even more for all the hard work paid off. Perhaps when you receive numerous awards, others will think that you don't care about these awards anymore, but... is that true?"
She turned around and cast a serious glance at Kelly.
"Believe me, no matter how many years have passed, no matter what position you are in, you will never forget this moment."
Her solemn and determined eyes shocked Kelly for a moment. After a while, Kelly pressed her lips together.
"I believe what you said... Thank you!"
Minerva smiled without saying a word.
"How are things progressing?"
"I have already asked a lawyer to contact the Yardley Corporation. This time, I have chosen the best lawyer. He assured me that he would handle it well, and he will negotiate on our behalf to minimize the penalty," Vera said confidently.
Hearing her words, Minerva nodded reassuringly. "That's great."
She was slightly worried that no lawyer would be willing to help her in this matter.
"By the way, Helen's agent informed me that she has been busy filming recently. She can only come when she is free."
"Okay, pack up and get off from work."
"Alright."
The two of them packed up and left the office. They planned to pick up Beanie along the way.
However, when they arrived downstairs, they saw another figure in the parking lot.
The lights of the parking lot illuminated the long shadows of his figure. Vera, who was standing beside Minerva paused for a moment before turning to Minerva.
"Minerva, that person..."
Minerva looked at the person in the distance. After a moment of silence, she passed the car keys to Vera. "Drive Beanie home first. Don't worry about me."
Vera took the keys and said in a tentative manner, "Beanie had been looking forward to seeing you since last night, you..."
"Don't worry. I'll be back soon."
"Well, call me if you need anything."
After glancing at the man in the distance, Vera turned around and left.
She felt at ease with Maddox. Although she didn't
hope for Minerva to be entangled with him, she was certain that Maddox wouldn't harm Minerva.
After the car drove away, a dreadful silence befell the parking lot.
Minerva remained motionless, while the man remained rooted to his spot as well. She thought for a moment and decided to make things clear to him. As such, she took the initiative to walk towards the figure.
When she got closer, Minerva could notice that his eyes were gleaming with a trace of rage. Even so, she asked calmly, "Mr. Yardley, do you need a place to talk?"
"Talk?" Maddox sneered, looking at her mockingly. "Talk about what? How a well-known designer came back to Hidalgo to breach her contract?"
Minerva was speechless.
"Mr. Yardley, I know that you may not be in a good mood now, but I have the right to terminate it. I can't fulfill your requirements, so it's better to terminate our contract. I won't accommodate your request in the future and you can get your compensation as well. What's wrong with it?"
"Huh? Do you think I am lacking money? The compensation? Is this the break-up fee instead?"
