Minerva closed her eyes.
She held Beanie tightly and thought in her heart...
"Maddox, look. Our child is so good, so obedient and so understanding. Are you willing to leave us behind?"
"Come back, we've been waiting for you."
Time flew by. It was a month later.
The company ran as usual. In the beginning, because of Maddox's accident, many people thought that Yardley Corporation was an easy target. So they wanted to cancel their previous deals. A lot of them even wanted to break their contracts.
However, all these problems were suppressed by Minerva.
Of course, her brother, Quill had always been helping her. Juliette also helped her to take care of a lot of work. Sam helped her while recuperating and finally, everything returned to normal.
For the design company, it was completely handed over to Vera to manage. Minerva couldn't take care of both sides at the same time.
When Vera was free, she would occasionally come over to help Minerva. At present, Vera went to Minerva's office and sorted out the documents for her. She said, "Should we go to the cafeteria for lunch at noon?"
"Yes," Minerva nodded.
The Yardley Corporation's cafeteria was not like other regular canteens. The safety measures and hygiene maintenance there were done very well. Ever since Minerva came, she had been eating in the cafeteria.
Vera nodded and said, "Actually, the food in your cafeteria is delicious. It's almost time for lunch. Let's go since it's relatively quiet now. You can come up first after lunch."
Minerva glanced at the time, and supposed that it's alright for her to come up early after lunch. She packed up her things and went downstairs with Vera.
Both of them went to the cafeteria and found out that there were a lot of people lining up for food. Minerva never used her privileges, so she went to line up with Vera with the other employees.
As soon as they lined up, they heard two female employees whispering in front of them.
"Well, Mila, is that woman going to be in charge of Yardley Corporation from now on? Why hasn't Young Master Yardley come back for such a long time?" one of the employees asked.
Upon hearing this, Minerva was stunned for a moment and then she frowned. Vera, who was behind Minerva, almost made a move, but Minerva stopped her.
"Ellis, what are you talking about? It's been more than a month. If Young Master Yardley was coming back, he would have already returned long ago!" the girl named Mila replied.
"Huh?" Ellis replied in confusion.
"Ellis, is there something wrong with your mind? Do you think that the plane accident was a small accident? There were only a few survivors. Not everyone is that lucky."
"But, Mila, the officials still have not found Young Master Yardley's body, have they?"
"Yes, although they haven't found the body, he also wasn't among the survivors. Do you think it's easy to find a person in the vast sea? I heard some inside scoop that in fact, apart from the survivors and the bodies recovered, many people are missing and Young Master Yardley is one of them..." Mila explained.
When Ellis heard this, she covered her mouth in surprise.
"It can't be. So many people had gone missing. It seems that they're really fraught with grim possibilities!"
Mila then continued, "In the future, this Hanover lady would probably be in charge of Yardley Corporation. Even though she is young, she is scheming. I heard that Young Master Yardley's brother wanted to take over as president temporarily but she disagreed. She said that she was Young Master Yardley's wife, so she had the right to take over his position. In my opinion, this woman came for Young Master Yardley's property from the very beginning. After his death, she didn't cry or make a fuss and was actually eager to compete for the position in the company."
