The sudden voice stunned everyone. Who was it?
Minerva was very familiar with this voice. A tall figure was seen standing in front of her, seeming to have resisted thousands of troops for her.
Maddox...
Why was he here?
Nickolas was originally helpless about Emily's character, so he spoke up for Minerva. However, never did he expect that Maddox would suddenly appear and even blamed him.
Nickolas's expression changed at once.
Emily became angry when she heard this, but the next second she stared at the man who came out all a sudden.
The man had a compelling aura. His black eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and his handsome face was extremely attractive. However, at this moment, he looked at her sarcastically. His gaze fell on her with frost-like coldness.
Emily somehow felt her image instantly shorten.
He had pulled Minerva behind him. She was petite compared with Maddox. Out of the blue, Emily felt dissatisfied in her heart. Why?
She was just an ordinary staff member. Why was there such an outstanding man protecting her?
As she thought of this, she said furiously, "Sir, please observe the situation first before commenting anything. It was this woman who first collided with our car and even wanted to call the police. She dropped her cell phone to the ground and asked me to pick it up for her. Is this reasonable?"
"Oh?" Maddox raised his eyebrows and sneered. Before he could speak, Nickolas, who was beside Emily, glowered in fury and walked up to pull Emily aside. "Stop talking! You can't afford to offend this person!"
After listening to his words, Emily threw a tantrum. "Why can't I provoke him? Nickolas, all of them are bullying me, yet you are not on my side! Now, I'm telling you both, you can't live in the North City anymore if you get into trouble with us!"
The Quartley family was influential in the North City. Emily was pleased to have a man like Nickolas.
Besides, Nickolas was submissive to her all the time. If anyone angered her, she could just tell the person off.
"Emily! Shut up!" Nickolas had a sour expression on his face, and his eyes glistened with rage. Emily was startled by his reaction and her eyes reddened. "Nickolas, what's wrong with you? Did I say anything wrong? They provoked us like this; we just wanted them not to hang on in North City. You used to love me very much. Why are you mad at me now?"
Nickolas was struck by Maddox's aura and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Although the Quartley family had a high status in the North City, it was far inferior to the impregnable Yardley Corporation. No one could afford to offend them.
Especially after Maddox took over the business of the Yardley Corporation.
Who would dare to provoke such a vicious and merciless man like him? Wouldn't that be digging their own graves?
Nickolas ignored Emily and swiftly walked to Maddox in a cold sweat.
"Young Master Yardley, Emily is not being sensible. She was blabbering nonsense just now. Don't find fault with her."
"Nonsense?" Maddox scorned. "If it wasn't for you supporting her, would she dare to say such a thing? Nickolas, it seems that the Quartley family wishes to go against the Yardley Corporation.”
When he heard Maddox, Nickolas went white in shock.
"Young Master Yardley, you have misunderstood me. How could the Quartley family go against Yardley Corporation? We haven't had any business dealings with each other. Moreover... the woman behind you."
Nickolas secretly glanced at Minerva, who was standing behind Maddox.
