Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 604

"By the way, did you see Maddox when you came in? Isn't he downstairs?" Minerva couldn't help but ask.

She still felt that something was wrong.

Vera's eyes suddenly became evasive. She bit her lower lip and said, "Yes, he's downstairs."

"He's downstairs?"

Minerva furrowed her defined brows. "I thought you said that you didn't see him?"

"I was startled just now, so... I replied with the wrong answer!" Vera was a bit incoherent as she spoke.

All of a sudden, Minerva stared at her with eagle sharp eyes.

"What's the matter? You're stuttering. Did he find out?"

Vera's face changed. She quickly shook her head.

"No, he didn't. If he did, how could you still get it? It's just that when he saw me, he asked why I was here. I told him I was here to pass you some documents... Then, he let me come up. However, he didn't look good. When he spoke, he looked like he could kill me. I am still scared thinking about it."

When she was explaining, Vera didn't dare to look into Minerva's eyes. She was afraid that Minerva would sense that she was lying.

She looked down at her toes with an uneasy expression, her lips curled tightly.

In fact, when Vera entered the house, she thought that there was no one there, so she quickly went upstairs to find Minerva in the bedroom.

However, she did not expect to be stopped by a cold voice as soon as she reached the stairs.

Vera certainly knew who it was. That was why she was so scared that she didn't dare to look straight into his eyes. When she turned around, she was trembling.

"President Yardley..."

He stared at her cold- heartedly and then looked at the bag in her hand.

Vera could feel a chill running down her spine and she started sweating. She almost even fainted.

"Are you looking for Minerva?" He asked her indifferently.

Vera nodded repeatedly with her mouth agape.

She was clearly the one who had lived here. However, in front of Maddox, she felt as if she was trespassing. It felt extremely awkward.

"Why are you looking for her?" Maddox asked again.

Vera recalled what Minerva had told her on the phone, so she said in a low voice, "There are some documents that needed to be signed, so I'm bringing them to her."

Vera came well prepared. After saying this, she quickly took out the document from her bag. "It's this one."

Maddox did not take the documents from her hands.

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to confirm the authenticity of the document, she put the document away and said slowly, "If there's nothing else... I'll go up and find Minerva first."

After saying that, Vera turned away and was ready to go upstairs.

"Wait a minute." Maddox suddenly called for her to a stop. Vera was frozen on the spot, her back facing him. She looked panicked and frantic.

Why did she agree to Minerva's request? It was impossible for her to put up an act in front of Maddox. She could hold on for now but if he continued interrogating her, she felt like she was really going to faint.

"President Yardley?" Vera turned around, carefully looking at him.

Maddox raised his hand and spread out his palm.

"Give it to me."

Vera stopped breathing and felt that the blood in her body was flowing backward rapidly. After ten full seconds, Vera handed the document to Maddox and said, "Are you talking about this? Here you go."

"That's not it." Maddox looked up and stared at her with a deep gaze. "You know what I want."
