"The old mansion?"
Upon hearing it, a hint of confusion appeared in Maddox's dark eyes.
Minerva finally came to her senses. He had lost all of his memories, so he definitely wouldn't remember the old mansion. She could only explain, "It was a mansion that belonged to the Yardley family. We lived there five years ago, then..."
After she left, she had no idea when Maddox moved.
When she returned to Hidalgo, she didn't know what happened to the house. Until recently, she tried to find out about it. It turned out the house had been empty for years.
Old Master Yardley was living in a sanatorium while Benedict established his own company. Therefore, no one was living there.
Furthermore, based on Maddox's temper, he would never have continued living there.
"What happened after that?" He asked casually as if he wasn't bothered by the matter.
"I'm not sure. We have to ask Sam for the details that happened back then."
Sam had always been working under Maddox, so he would know best about the past.
Sam?
Maddox pursed his lips and nodded. "I will handle this matter. Don't worry about it."
"Alright."
The next morning, Maddox called Sam into his office and asked him about the old Yardley family mansion.
As he brought up the old mansion, Sam's expression was odd.
"Young Master Yardley, why are you asking me about the old Yardley family mansion all of a sudden?"
"What's wrong?" Maddox observed his expression and asked, "Is there something wrong with it?"
Sam rubbed his own head and explained, "There's nothing wrong. It's just that the mansion had been empty for a long time. Are you thinking about living there again, Young Master Yardley?"
"Living there again?"
Maddox recalled what Minerva had said to him the day before.
She said the two of them used to live there and if they were to live there again, would he be able to regain his memories by reliving his old life?
Thinking of this, Maddox nodded and said, "Get someone to clean the house and get it ready. I'll go take a look in a few days."
"Okay, Young Master Yardley."
Sam agreed and left the office. He felt uneasy in his heart.
Young Master Yardley hated the mansion back then.
That was because it was where Old Master Yardley used to live. He had someone build the mansion back when he was young. After Maddox and Old Master Yardley fought with each other, Maddox took over the entire Yardley Corporation and sent Old Master Yardley to a sanatorium.
It was called a sanatorium.
However, it was basically a mental hospital.
Later, Young Master Yardley asked someone to seal off the house and it was closed off until that day.
He didn't expect that it would be rediscovered again one day.
Sam thought about it carefully. Young Master Yardley wouldn't have asked him to do so without a reason, therefore he gave Minerva a call regarding it before he took any action.
It might seem that Young Master Yardley was making the decisions but in reality, it was the Young Madam who made the calls.
Minerva was surprised to receive Sam's call. She did not expect him to ask her for her opinion for a task that Maddox asked him to do. When did she have such great power?
After all, she was Quill's younger sister.
She thought that Vera would probably be reminded of him if she saw her.
Therefore, during this period of time, she stayed away from Vera's sight.
After hanging up the phone, Sam also looked at his mobile phone for a long time. Finally, he sighed deeply, and then put his phone away and went back to work.
Soon, the Yardley family's old mansion was cleaned and tidied up by the help whom Sam hired. Although the mansion was worth a lot, after years of being empty and not being maintained, the mansion looked worn out.
If it wasn't for the fact that Minerva told him not to move or change anything in the old mansion, Sam would have swapped out most of the furniture with new ones.
However, after listening to her, he could understand her reason behind doing so. He instructed the help to clean the mansion without moving any of the items.
In just two days, the Yardley family's old mansion was well cleaned up.
Sam went straight to find Minerva. She took a trip to the old mansion without letting Maddox know about it. Although she hadn't been back here for a while, when she was standing in the old mansion, looking around it, she was flooded with memories from the past.
Memories from the past flashed in front of her eyes like slideshows.
When she first married into the family, she had truly suffered a lot of injustice.
At that time, Maddox's words were very vicious. He was never honest with her about his feelings towards her. Although he always bullied her, he didn't allow anyone else to do so.
When she had no one to depend on back then, he was her ray of sunshine.
It was probably the reason why she fell deeply in love with him back then.
She smiled faintly as she thought about it.
She didn't stay inside for long. After about ten minutes, she walked out of the mansion along with Sam.
