Someone screamed, but it was not Minerva. Instead, it was Kelly who was holding Vera's arm.
Everyone immediately turned to look at them. Minerva's expression changed. Then she quickly turned her face to Maddox and whispered, "Put me down. What are you doing?"
Maddox frowned and said, "Don't your bare feet feel cold? I'll carry you out."
"You don't have to carry me. I can walk by myself. Put me down!"
However, Maddox didn't give her any chance to protest. He carried her out of the venue. Even the people on the stage stared at them. Minerva struggled for a while before she finally conceded defeat. She buried herself into Maddox's arms and pulled his collar down to cover her face along the way.
There were so many reporters there. If they were photographed, it would be troublesome.
However, Maddox was not afraid. As long as she covered her face, people would only say that Maddox had carried a woman and it would have nothing to do with Minerva.
Her behavior did not make Maddox feel disgusted. On the contrary, because it made her dependent on Maddox so much that she even took the initiative to move closer to him, it made him happy. His thin lips slightly hitched up in a smile as he strode forward.
Kelly and Vera were stunned for a full five seconds and then they hurriedly got up and followed them out.
A person from the group of journalists shouted when he saw them.
"It's the business tycoon, Maddox! Oh my god, it's Maddox from the Yardley Corporation in North City!"
"Who is he carrying? Hurry up and get a picture!"
The spotlight was on the two of them. Kelly and Vera, who were following behind Maddox, subconsciously covered their faces with their hands. However, they quickly came to realise that it was Maddox and Minerva who had their photos taken and not them.
Therefore, they put down their hands after realizing it.
Even though Minerva had buried her head in Maddox's arms, she could feel that there were countless cameras taking photos of them. She was speechless and tense. Those media reporters were just too gossip-hungry!
Was Maddox even more charming than the other celebrities and the jewelry? Why weren't they taking a picture of those things instead of Maddox?
"Pfft."
Her thoughts were interrupted by the vibration in Maddox's chest.
He said to her, "Don't be afraid. I will make sure to protect you."
Minerva was at a loss for words.
She laughed in her heart.
After all, if he hadn't carried her, they wouldn't even be in that situation!
But what else could she say? She had no other way to escape, hence she had to wait until she got out of there.
Maddox seemed to be torturing her on purpose. He wouldn't walk fast. Therefore, they were surrounded by the reporters for a long time.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and leave." Minerva felt that she could hardly breathe in his embrace. Furthermore, she was wearing a dress that day and her posture was not ideal. She was afraid that she would suffer from a wardrobe malfunction.
Maddox looked at the media in front of him. After realising the irascibility of the person in his arms, he glared coldly at the group of people, exuding an aura of stony dominance.
"Get out of my way."
The group of people looked at each other in dismay at Maddox's command. Then, they took a few steps back unconsciously.
He held no reserve for the media at all. He didn't care about what the media reporters would say about how ruthless and unreasonable he was. To Maddox, those comments were irrelevant.
On top of that, who would be willing to risk their lives to write negative reports about Maddox?
Not only was that man cold and icy, he was ruthless. No one would offend him if they wanted to live in North City.
Therefore, they all consciously scattered away and no one dared to catch up with them.
Kelly and Vera closely followed him out.
