At the Collins family.
Ever since Jarold's phone call, Maddox decided not to go to Minerva's for the tbeing. Otherwise, if he stayed outside for too long, Jarold would grow to be even more suspicious.
It wasn't easy for Geoffrey to cover it up for him. He had to put on an act.
Now that he had just begun to date Minerva, their relationship was still unstable. If something really happened, he didn't know if she would be scared away.
"You're back?" "Grandpa." Jarold looked at this grandson of his who was in front of him, his black eyes sharp. He thought that he looked very similar to his mother, Aurora, especially the point between his eyes and brows. They looked very much like each other.
Every the saw Sebastian going against him and refusing to admit defeat, it was as though Aurora was standing in front of him once more.
As soon as he thought of her, Jarold's heart ached. He thought back to what Monica had said by his ear that day. He looked at Sebastian and said, "You, cwithto the study." Maddox could see through the pain in Jarold's eyes. He looked at his back and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFor such a long time, Jarold had never looked at him with that kind of expression.
Could something have happened? However, Maddox followed Jarold into the study calmly.
After entering the study, Jarold ordered Maddox to close the door and sit down.
Maddox then closed the door behind him.
He didn't take the initiative to speak, because he knew that Jarold would talk to him a lot that evening, or ask him many questions. From the moment he decided to be together with Minerva, he had already thought of all the answers and tried his best to think of all the questions Jarold would ask.
"Sebastian, can you tellwhy you don't want to be engaged to Monica?" His voice sounded very old, with a hint of tiredness. Maddox's lips moved and he lifted his eyelids. Then, he just looked into those dark eyes.
Why was that so? Maddox pursed his lips and answered coldly, "I don't like her." These words had instantly explained his own state of mind. It could be said that they were very direct. Jarold had initially thought that Maddox would say something that would allow him to express his thoughts Who would've thought that Maddox actually shut him out the moment his mouth opened? Immediately, the expression on Jarold's face beca bit blanched.
"If you don't like her, then who do you like?" The latter question was very vicious, it made the air around Jarold even more overbearing. It was as if his walking cane would strike Maddox directly on the head the moment he spoke a name. However, it was Maddox whom Jarold was dealing with.
He was used to being arrogant, hence he wasn't afraid of these things at all.
He pulled his lips and explained coldly, "In short, I won't get engaged to her. Although I'm your grandson, I don't want to be manipulated by you." "You br*t. How will I harm you? Tellthe truth. Are you having a lover outside?" There was a flash of killing intent in Maddox's dark eyes, but it disappeared very quickly. Jarold looked sharply at him before he could speak.
"I heard that there is an employee in the company who has been pestering you and is interested in you. Is this true?" Maddox's lips twitched. "Grandpa, didn't you always know about these things?" "Yes, I know that there are many women who like you, but you don't care about them, do you? But I heard that you are treating her differently from others. Why are you like this? Have you been seduced by that woman?" Upon hearing this, Maddox subconsciously knitted his brows.
"Seduced by her?" "Ha..." Maddox laughed softly. "Grandpa, have you ever liked someone when you were young?" Jarold was stunned, but didn't reply.
Maddox continued, "I'm not a heartless, cold blooded animal. It's normal forto like someone, and I'm not seduced by anyone." He said these words to Jarold with a very serious expression and attitude. If he didn't take this matter seriously, whether it was a denial or an explanation, Jarold would feel that this matter wasn't that important.
But what about now? Maddox had said this to him in a serious tone. He had even used him as an example when he was young. What did this mean? This grandson of his was serious about it.
Thinking up to this point, Jarold paid close attention to this matter. He suddenly stood up from his seat and stared fixedly at Maddox.
"Who? Who on earth can make you have such an attitude?" Who was she? Minerva's face appeared easily in front of Maddox's eyes, especially her pure and innocent eyes. Maddox had always had a deep impression of her, no matter what she did.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing that Maddox wasn't speaking, Jarold grew nervous. "So what the others have said is true? Did you really give that girl special treatment and allow her to enter and exit your office freely?" Maddox looked up and his eyes were dark.
"Grandpa, did Monica tell you all this?"
"Don't you worry about who said these, as long as the results are the same. Looks like... you really have oks someone out there. No wonder..you didn't cback hto eat withfor a few days. No wonder you weren't willing to get engaged!" Maddox said casually when he saw the anger in Jarold's eyes.
"I don't want this engagement to have anything to do with others. Even if it weren't for her, I still wouldn't be with Monica." Her feelings for him were very uncomfortable.
"Hmph, do you think I'll believe in your nonsense?" Jarold immediately ordered. "Go back tomorrow and Ω chase that woman out of them company. Don't let her stay there any longer: Do you think anyone can enter the Collins family? Why don't you take a look at her background? What if she wants your position and assets? You're still young. Listen to me. Dismiss her tomorrow and give her smoney. Tell her not to bother you anymore." The way he puts it...
The aura around Maddox cooled down and he stated unhappily, "She's not that kind of person."
Jarold snorted coldly. "I'm already of old age. I've seen more people than the salt you have eaten. Girls like this who just join the company are mostly e vain. They've never experienced anything before, and they're trying to climb up the social ladder without any background. If you're stupid, then you'll fall for the charms of this kind of woman. Go chase her out of the company tomorrow!" Jarold's stance was very unyielding.
Maddox looked down and closed his eyelids, covering his dark eyes. At the stime, he hid the anger in his eyes.
Even if it was Jarold, speaking of his woman like this still made him very unhappy.
He believed in his own vision. The woman he liked could not be that kind of person.
"Did you hear what I told you?" Maddox raised his head and his eyes were pitch black. "What if I don't?"
