Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 857

Minerva stopped in her tracks. She couldn't help but turn to look at the female neighbor.

She was just a neighbor who knew nothing about Minerva, but yet she was still able to slander her like this.

Why wasn't there more goodwill between people?

Maddox, who was beside her, also noticed this sentence. He frowned and the unhappiness in his eyes had been very obvious. He said coldly, "This lady..."

Minerva quickly grabbed his hand and shook her head at him.

This was her personal matter. Furthermore, the other person was a woman. There was no need for Maddox to speak up for her.

Maddox frowned, but the expression on his face was still unpleasant.

Minerva smiled at him and then looked coldly at the neighbor. She smiled and said, "Miss, I don't know you well, do I? Why do you say those words out of your mind?"

The female neighbor had always thought that she was easy to bully. Seeing that Minerva had such a handsome boyfriend who was driving such a luxurious car, even more that he was going to bring her away now.

She felt a little jealous. She had praised her boyfriend's handsomeness, but the man did not respond at all.

She was a little envious of such a handsome and rich man who did not have any other women in his eyes.

But her envy towards Minerva was too much, causing her to feel jealous, so she couldn't help but say something to her before she left.

As the female neighbor was being looked at by them with cold eyes, her momentum immediately weakened. She took a few steps back and whispered, "I, I'm just..."

She wanted to defend herself, but she didn't know what to say when the words were about to come out of her mouth. Moments ago, she had been really hot-headed and said something unpleasant.

After a moment of thought, the female neighbor said rudely, "It's my fault."

After that, she turned around and directly opened the door into her house. She even deliberately slammed the door loudly when closing it.

Minerva was speechless.

She pursed her lips and drooped her eyelids. "Let's go."

Maddox stood rooted to the spot and did not move when he noticed her low mood. He looked at the direction in which the woman had left with a dark gaze.

Minerva frowned and returned when she realized that he had not followed her after taking two steps.

"Stop looking. These people speak their mind too easily. It's nothing to me."

However, Maddox didn't think so. This reminded him of something else.

If the people in the company knew that she was with him, would they also treat her in such a way?

He discovered that a person she was not familiar with could already make her so depressed. What if everyone in the company looked at her like this?

"You don't want the people in the company to know about it because of this?" Maddox suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Minerva was dumbfounded. She didn't expect him to think of something else. She looked at Maddox, whose brows were knitted tightly because of her. She couldn't help but smile. "What are you thinking? What do other people's opinions have to do with me? I don't care what people say, regardless of whether they're my neighbors or the people at the company."

"Really?" Maddox pursed his thin lips. "Then why were you so unhappy just now?"

Minerva replied, "I was just thinking that I'm not familiar with her. Why does she have so much malice? But then I quickly understood, it's because... she's jealous that I'm better than she."

Up to this point, she stretched out her hand to tug Maddox's tie and said in a softer voice, "She's jealous that my boyfriend is so handsome and rich. That's why she's so jealous of me. If I'm unhappy over this matter, wouldn't that mean that I cut off my nose just to spite my face?"

She spoke very openly and her expression was so calm that it seemed as if she did not care about the incident at all. However, Maddox felt extremely uncomfortable seeing someone scold her.
