"Nothing," Sam replied.
"Nothing?" Vera sneered. "You won't come for no reason. Judging from your expression, I can tell that you're here to make trouble. Why are you doing this? We've already paid the compensation so why won't you let us go? Don't assume that Minerva is the one pestering Young Master Yardley!"
Sam answered, "I didn't mean that. I just..."
"Are you doing this for the sake of Maddox? This is why you are putting all the blame on us, right? Sam, I used to think highly of you, but now you... I was too foolish. Anyway, we have admitted that we breached the contract. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact our lawyer. Don't come to our company again."
With that, she turned and went into the building, leaving Sam standing alone at the entrance.
After a long while, he lowered his head, smiling bitterly. It seemed that... he really said something wrong that day.
The truth was Sam had followed Maddox for many years and had seen him in his lowest state. He felt angry towards Minerva as he thought that she was the one who was responsible for that. Hence, he blurted out those words without thinking.
Since Minerva had left, why was she trying to return? That was the thought Sam had.
Alas, it seemed that Minerva had never looked for Maddox after she returned. She didn't care about Maddox at all. He fancied her to no end but it was unrequited love.
It was a pity that Sam dared not bring that up to Maddox.
Nash immediately sent Minerva to her destination. Since Quill had made arrangements for her, she was escorted by the manager as soon as she entered the place.
"Miss Hanover, take a look at this."
"Thank you," Minerva thanked the man sincerely and stood there looking at the surveillance footage solemnly. When she spotted a suspicious figure, she said, "Rewind the clip to ten seconds earlier please."
The operator followed her instructions. In the footage, Minerva saw a person covered from head to toe and wearing a cap. From the person's figure, he should be a man.
"Can I take a look at the footage in other areas?" Minerva made that request even though she was embarrassed to do so.
Upon hearing her words, the man frowned at once.
"Miss Hanover, I'm afraid that won't be possible."
Minerva blinked a few times.
"I'm sorry, we've tried our best."
They turned her down. Minerva smiled, saying, "It's alright. You've already done me a great favor. Thank you for your help this time. I'll treat all of you to a meal next time."
"No. You don't have to do so. We are willing to offer help to you for the sake of Mr. Hanover."
After coming out from the control room, Minerva and the man walked along the corridor. Out of the blue, a figure rushed over. "He is here."
As soon as the manager heard it, his expression abruptly changed. "Why did he come?"
Maddox had reprimanded them for their work the last time he came. Everyone knew that he was an unreasonable and ferocious man. They were all afraid of him as they had suffered his rebuke.
"Miss Hanover, I..."
As they were conversing, a tall figure appeared at the corridor.
Everyone including Minerva was frozen to the spot.
She looked at the tall figure with doubt. Previously, she was thinking who they could be talking about. She didn't expect it to be him.
The tall and handsome man instantly walked to her, his lips tightly pursed in a line. His cold eyes were fixated on her.
The others were trembling with fear.
"Y-Young Master Yardley."
Minerva frowned slightly and said quietly, "It seems that you have something to attend to. I'll make a move now."
