"Do you think that I don't know? Although you hide it very well, your feelings are as obvious as a pregnant belly. It's impossible for you to hide it from me because I spend so much time with you."
Minerva stared at her dazedly. After a while, she turned her head away without responding.
"You're thinking too much. You need to stop your speculations."
"Speculations?" Vera took a deep breath, and then crossed her arms in front of her chest as she stared at Minerva.
"Then why won't you meet my eyes? Well, let's talk about something else then. Don't you think I don't know that you looked up Maddox's name when there was no one around? What is the name that appears most frequently on your search history? Could it be another Maddox?"
Minerva was at a loss for words.
Her heart thumped loudly, as it had been hit by a huge rock.
"Did you really think you hid it well just because I never discovered it?" Vera paused for a moment, before she continued, saying, "In fact, I actually saw him on the highway when we were travelling from San Novia to North City, but I just didn't tell you."
Upon hearing that, Minerva abruptly raised her head. "What did you say?"
Maddox was also there on the highway?
Looking at her reaction, Vera had no choice but to tell Minerva about what happened on the highway that day. After that, Minerva finally came back to her senses. On that day, after Vera had gone to fetch food, she had become a little strange but Vera had managed to come up with an excuse at that time.
But what was going on at the moment?
Recalling the event, Minerva had never imagined it to turn out that way.
"Are you surprised? You met him right at the moment you returned to the country. Sometimes, I wonder if your fates are intertwined. How else would you two meet on the road between North City and San Novia? However, you guys didn't actually meet that day. Perhaps it was because I tried my best to prevent that. Minerva... As your friend, I know I'm selfish for saying this, but I really wish you would stop interacting with him. He has caused you so much harm. However, if you still love him, you have my support."
After saying that, Vera actually walked to Minerva. She stooped down to hug her.
Minerva was stunned.
Suddenly, her eyes grew a little moist.
It turned out that she had not been in solitude all those years. Vera had always known about it.
That's right. Even though she pretended to be calm whenever she saw Maddox, but for so many years... She had always secretly loved Maddox in her heart. She would pay attention to his situation and any news about him.
She was well aware that he could abandon his wheelchair and walk normally. She knew that he had become the real owner of the Yardley Corporation.
However, she still did not know how Maddox's leg had been healed.
Nevertheless, Minerva was happy that he could stand up again.
However, even though she still loved him, she would not want to be with him all over again.
The past was the past. Who made it a rule that she had to be with him simply because she still loved him? She thought to herself.
"Go, make things clear with him and get rid of your doubts. If you really love him, then don't miss this chance." Vera patted her on the shoulder as she spoke in a rare gentle voice.
After a moment, she finally removed her hands from Minerva and turned around to leave the office.
Minerva looked down to shoulder and saw the moisture on her shirt.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon.
A familiar-looking car pulled up at the entrance of the company. Sam gave Minerva a call.
"Miss Hanover, Young Master Yardley has asked me to pick you up."
