Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 733

It was fine if Minerva didn't ask her, but Vera felt guilty when she was asked. She shook her head and answered, "Nothing."

Upon hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but frown. Just as she was about to say something, Juliette smiled and interrupted, "Since you're here, I have some matters to attend to. I'll leave Minerva in your care."

Vera stared at her gratefully and nodded, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

After Juliette left, she walked up to Minerva and asked, "Minerva, do you want some water? I'll pour some for you."

Hearing this, Minerva couldn't help but frown. She looked at her thoughtfully. Vera felt guilty, thus she lowered her head.

"I'm fine. In fact, you don't have to take care of me here all the time. I am not a patient nor a child. I can take care of myself."

"What? No!" Vera shook her head vigorously. "Although you are neither a patient nor a child, you are a fragile pregnant woman. How can I let a pregnant woman stay here all alone?"

A pregnant woman...

Minerva lowered her head and caressed her lower abdomen.

She really didn't expect that she would have another life in her belly but at this very moment...

She closed her eyes and let out a heavy sigh.

She hoped that Maddox would return soon.

Back in the country.

Not long after the news regarding Maddox being involved in a plane crash was spread, the shareholders of the company all found out about this. However, the strange thing was that they were all calm and composed. It seemed like they didn't even know Maddox was involved in a crash.

Everyone was at ease.

Benedict waited in his own company for a few days, but he didn't receive any news nor even a single phone call.

He was not anxious at all. However, his assistant was so anxious that he went directly to the Yardley Corporation. Who would have expected that after he had expressed his thoughts, the board of directors ignored him and even asked the security guards to drive him out?

He was so furious that he complained to

Benedict after he went back to the company.

"Mr. Benedict, those old men have gone too far. They threw me out of the company and even ignored me when I mentioned your name!"

In his seat, Benedict originally looked calm, but after hearing what he said, the gaze in his eyes became sinister and ruthless.

But soon, he regained his composure. Pursing his lips, he stood up.

"Didn't I tell you not to worry?" There was a hint of displeasure in his voice.

The assistant was stunned for a moment. Then, he shrunk his neck and answered, "I can't stand it anymore. For so many days, none of them came to us. Young Master Benedict, you are also the son of the Yardley family. Why is it that Maddox can take over everything while you have to live under this small company and suffer from the suppression of the Yardley Corporation? I can't stand it. Why is it like this? Is it because you are an illegitimate child..."

A dangerous gaze swept across him, and the assistant's words stopped in time. He saw that the aura around Benedict had become terrifying and gloomy; it was a complete change from his usual self.

He was so frightened that he didn't dare to

say another word.

An illegitimate child? For Benedict, this word was too hurtful.

Just because he was an illegitimate child, and because Maddox was born earlier than him, he would never be able to inherit the family property. Even if he was born earlier, he was still considered an illegitimate child. Even though his mother had become a legal wife, everyone in the family knew that his mother was actually the mistress.
