Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 742

After the meeting.

Minerva immediately called a car to send Sam to the hospital.

Sam was unwilling at first but Minerva said, "You're badly injured. If they didn't heal well, how are you going to deal with the company's affairs? We still have a tough battle to fight."

Sam was persuaded by her so he went to the hospital obediently.

As Minerva was returning to her office, she was stopped by a person at the corner.

After identifying the person who stood in her way, Minerva stopped and looked at him coldly.

"What's the matter?"

Benedict was the one who stood in front of her. Old master Yardley was no longer with him as he was sent back to the sanatorium.

No matter how shrewd his eyes were, he was just an old man who sat in a wheelchair and couldn't stand up. He didn't have the ability to resist. If he made a fuss, then it would just become another reason to send him to the sanatorium.

It's not that Minerva doesn't respect the elders. But after Maddox said that Old Master Yardley killed his mother just to force him to return home, Minerva just couldn't respect him.

How much trauma did this left in Maddox's childhood?

Old Master Yardley couldn't be considered as an elder at all. He was just treating Maddox as a chess for his profit.

Benedict stood in front of her, looking down at the documents in her hands.

Minerva didn't know why but she felt a shiver that ran down her spine after being stared at by his gaze. She took two wary steps back. Benedict paused for a moment and he suddenly looked up.

"You're so wary of me now?" Benedict asked.

Minerva didn't say anything.

"We're not even friends anymore? I didn't expect... that we would turn out like this?" Benedict took a step forward and approached Minerva.

Minerva widened her eyes and took two steps back. Suddenly, Benedict reached out his hands and grabbed her arm. He raised her hands to the top of her head and pressed them against the cold wall next to her.

"Ah." Minerva was caught off guard and all the things in her hands fell to the ground.

Minerva's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat. She stared at Benedict with wide eyes. Her pupils were contracting violently.

Benedict got close to her and his hands could clearly feel her resistance. He also saw the anger and disgust in her eyes magnifying in front of him.

The woman in front of him was the woman he loved deeply.

But he couldn't have her.

Benedict said, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I'll steal your contract? Minerva, I'm sure that you felt the care and affection I have for you. I've always believed that you knew."

Minerva was short of breath. She said as she bit her lower lip, "Let go. If you don't, I'll call the police."

"Then?" Benedict laughed with a hint of selfmockery. "Do you want to sue me for harassment after the police arrive?"

Minerva was speechless.

"You don't have to do this. Even if I want to do this to you, I can't bear it," said Benedict.

As soon as he finished speaking, Benedict sighed heavily and said, "I just want to tell you that, I just want to take Maddox's place temporarily. I used to be the vice president of this company so I'm familiar with many things. The company can't be left unattended for a long time."

Minerva was locked by him. She struggled but her strength was no match for him. She struggled a few times and couldn't break free. "Do you dare to say that you don't have any selfish motives?"

Benedict drooped his eyelids and his breathing became heavy.

"Yes, I do."

He admitted it directly and Minerva sneered.

"Even if I admit that I have selfishness, it is not because of the company. It's because of you."
