Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Listening to Juliette's straightforward words, Vera's heart was beating rapidly. At the stime, Quill's gaze went past the crowd and landed on her.

Their eyes met in midair.

"Go ahead." Juliette nudged her back, indicating for her to move forward.

However, Vera stayed where she was. She didn't dare to step forward and looked at her with hesitation. Juliette's eyes lookes like smiling. "What are you doing? President Hanover is waiting for you in front. If you don't go over now, he might go in himself, and you would be here for nothing tonight. You'll lose your chance." After hearing what she said, Vera realized that since she had promised to attend the banquet as Quill's chaperon, she should be brave to take the first step.

She didn't want to leave so she could only step forward.

"Thank you." Vera took a deep breath and got herself together. Then, she walked towards him.

Quill was tall and handsome. He was calm and mature. When he stood there, it was as if there was a halo around him. People couldn't help looking at him.

People who attended the banquet today were all upper class. Among them, sparents were dying to bring their daughters so they could experience events like this and take the chance to meet sbig shots. Hence, it was likely that they were trying to set their daughters up with someone from this banquet.

Since they had daughters, their eyes were naturally set on him.

Before entering the hall, many girls looked at him and then sof their parents would sigh.

"Don't look at that man. It would just be a waste of time." The parent next to him also echoed when he heard that.

"Yeah, I heard that he had rejected many women in the past, and he had never brought a chaperon for banquets before other than his secretary. However, I heard that his secretary has been married for many years and she even has kids now." "Does he not like women? Does he like men?" "That's not possible. He doesn't have many men around him either. What's scary is how disciplined he is. I heard that Mr. Harris invited him to a private event and there were many gorgeous women there. Despite how they tried to seduce him, he refused to look at them." "It seems that there is no hope." Sladies refused to give up, so they tugged at their father's sleeves.

"Dad, why do I think that the reason he's like this is that he has yet to meet someone that he liked? If he doesn't like men, then this must be the only reason. He is probably indifferent in the past because he was not attracted to those women. Why don't we try our luck today?" After listening to his daughter's words, the father thought that what she said was rather dumb. Perhaps he had spoiled her too much, resulting in her speaking without thinking. When he was about to yell at her, the person who was talking to him suddenly turned to his daughter and said.

"She may be right about it. Maybe it's because the woman isn't pretty enough! Why don't you with her go to give it a try? At least you have a companion." The two girls looked at each other with disdain in their eyes, but soon pretended to be friendly with each other.

"Then let's go together." "Sure." Quill's eyes had been following Vera. At first, his face was calm, but gradually his eyebrows frowned because when she was walking towards him, she was suddenly blocked by a man. After that, the man's lips curled up in a smile as if he was saying something to her.

The scene of the two of them standing together made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

He pursed his thin lips tightly, and the temperature around him suddenly cooled down. When he was about to walk forward, two women blocked his way.

"President Hanover." "Hello, President Hanover. I am Yannie Sharfrom the SharGroup. I saw you standing here from afar, so are you waiting for someone?" When the other person saw that Yannie was speaking, she didn't want to be left behind. She took a few steps forward and leaned over to Quill's side. She smiled and said, "President Hanover is waiting for someone, right? Do you needto help you?" Looking at the two women who suddenly cup to him and stopped him, he frowned and stared at them with displeasure.

"What's the matter?" The two paused for a moment. They didn't expect him to be so ruthless, so they didn't know what to say for a moment.

"If there's nothing, then please get out of my way." Quill was usually polite to strangers, but he felt anxious now and he had no patience to deal with these two women.

Yannie's expression changed slightly. Probably due to the pressure from him, she could only take two steps back and didn't say anything more.

The other person was Susan Yonas. When she saw Yannie back down, she sneered in her heart and secretly called her dumb.

She wanted to seduce a man, but she didn't even have the patience. She got out of the way as soon as she tried to hit on him because he told her to. How would she be able to get what she wanted this way? She simply went forward and grabbed Quill's shoulder. "Oh Mr. Hanover, I see that you're here alone today. So am I. I wonder if I can invite you to be my date tonight?" Upon seeing this, Yannie's expression changed drastically. She thought to herself, "Oh no! She caughtoff guard!" She quickly calmed herself down because Quill's expression turned extremely cold and veins were popping on his forehead as Susan stopped him. He was giving out a dangerous aura.

"Let go." Quill tolerated her silently, keeping his manners as a gentleman.

Susan noticed that he was upset, but since he didn't push her away, she figured that he acturally liked her. Therefore, she stayed in place, She didn't expect to be pushed away aggressively in the next second. "Ah!" A woman's scream sounded on the scene. Yannie saw Susan, who had shown a triumphant smile on her face the previous second, was flung away onto the ground in disarray. Everyone around was startled, and no one knew what was going on. Sof them realized what had happened, and they were gloating secretly.

It was obvious that Yannie was one of them. "I can't believe she tried her luck. Luckily I moved away." However, Quill didn't bother checking on how Susan was doing because he had warned her to let go of him. It would be her own responsibility for what happened after.

On the other side.

Vera did not expect that she would be stopped by sman. The man said that he saw hexalone, and he' e wanted to invite her to be his chaperon for the night. At first, she politely informed him that someone was waiting for her. After he asked who was waiting for her, she started stammering so the man didn't believe her.

"No one is actually waiting for you, right? You don't have to be afraid of

me, I'm not a bad person. It just happened that you're too gorgeous, and I'm attracted to you. I've never invited anyone to be my chaperon for a banquet, you're the first." After he finished his words, he figured that she would be deeply moved by his sweet words.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a low voice interrupted.

"Is that so?"
