Chapter 797


    Minerva sent them downstairs and watched them getting into the car. When they were about to go,


    thendlord came back as well and she followed Minerva with a smile.


    "I didn''t expect you to have such a handsome and rich boyfriend," She said.


    Minerva replied, "He is..."


    "It''s okay, you don''t have to exin. I understand. It doesn''t matter. You can bring your boyfriend


    here asionally. I won''t say anything."


    After saying that, thendlord gave her a sly smile before she went upstairs.


    Thus, Minerva felt a little helpless. She could not be bothered to exin, so she went upstairs.


    The house was much livelier when Maddox and Geoffrey were here. However, she was the only


    one left when she opened the door now. Hence, Minerva felt a little lonely.


    s.


    It was true that there were some things that one could never get used to.


    For example, if she was exposed to light after living her days in darkness, she would no longer be


    able to endure the dark days.


    However, if she continued to stay in the darkness, then she would be unable to see the light. If so,


    she would never know what the light looked like, thus her heart would never yearn for it.


    Minerva sighed silently in her heart as she started to tidy up the house. She found that Maddox had


    forgotten to take away the coat that she had washed for him.


    ''Didn''t youe for this coat? Why didn''t you take it when you leave?'' Minerva couldn''t help but


    comin as she picked up the coat.


    Since he didn''t take it with him, she would take care of it for him.


    But this time, Minerva didn''t dare to hang the suit in her closet. Instead, she hung the suit up at the


    balcony and prepared to take a shower.


    When she entered the bathroom, she realized that Maddox had left his clothes behind after he took


    a shower too.


    Minerva was speechless.


    She stared at the pile of clothes in a daze and thought of something. Her pale cheeks began to turn


    red.


    As soon as Maddox and Geoffrey entered the


    room, the servant said respectfully, "Master Collins is waiting for you upstairs."


    "Got it." He said.


    After that, Maddox went upstairs directly. Geoffrey followed him quickly and said, "I guess the


    Dormer family left. I didn''t see their car just now."


    "Yup," He replied faintly.


    "What if Master Collins really wishes to get you two engaged?" Geoffrey asked.


    Maddox didn''t answer his question. However, in his heart, there was a very clear answer. He was


    not going to be engaged to Monica.


    Knock, knock...


    "Come in." Jarold said.


    Maddox opened the door. Jarold, who was sitting in front of the desk, raised his eyes. Although his


    eyes were old, they were sharp and spirited. He sat there with a majestic aura.


    When he saw that Geoffrey was following Maddox, he believed what Maddox had said earlier. Then


    he snorted heavily, "Oscar is so useless for not disciplining his grandson, and so you go around


    causing trouble every day. Geoffrey, how old are you now? Isn''t it time for you to learn something


    and manage thepany for your grandfather? Don''t go wandering about all day."


    Geoffrey didn''t feel bad about being mocked in front of Jarold. Instead, he walked up to him,


    grinning cheekily. "Master Collins, it''s fine as long as my father''s in charge of thepany. It''s none


    of my business. Besides, I''ll definitely manage thepany if I''m as smart as Sebastian. I''m just


    afraid I''ll screw up and cause major losses for thepany."


    Hearing Geoffrey praise his precious grandson, Jarold was secretly d, but he still reprimanded


    him. "All you know is how to talk. If you could put more effort into your business, your grandfather


    wouldn''te toin about you every now and then."


    "I can''t help it. I''m only good at talking, and I''m not made for anything else."


    Jarold sighed heavily and looked at Maddox who remained silent. He said sternly, "Since you''re


    here,e and have a seat. I have something important to tell you."

    Then, Maddox walked over and sat down across from Jarold. Geoffrey wanted to leave, but Jarold


    said, "You can stay, there''s nothing secretive about this."


    "Thank you, Master Collins," Geoffrey replied.


    He quickly pulled out a chair and sat down next to Maddox. He knew that Master Collins would ask


    him to stay, but he just wanted to put on an act in front of him, or else... he would have been


    deemed a glutton for gossip.


    Next, Jarold sized Maddox up. He didn''t speak and the two men didn''t know what was he thinking.


    After a long while, he asked, "Sebastian, what do you think of Monica?"


    Geoffrey was speechelss.


    F*ck, he was right.


    It was a sign that Master Collins wanted Monica to be engaged to Sebastian.


    Geoffrey looked at Sebastian before he clenched his fists.


    "Don''t disappoint me and Minerva." He thought.


    Then, Maddox looked up and found that Jarold had been staring at him as if he was sizing up his


    emotions and reactions. He pursed his thin lips. There was a cold aura surrounding him.


    "I don''t know."


    Three words fell from his lips.


    When Jarold heard this, he frowned instantly.


    "What do you mean you don''t know?"


    "I don''t really pay attention to her. I don''t know."


    Jarold was speechless.


    It was obvious that he wasn''t interested in Monica, that was why he didn''t pay attention to her. Thus,


    he wouldn''t know.


    Meanwhile, Geoffrey secretly gave Maddox a thumbs-up.


    He was still thinking about how Maddox would answer the question. He had thought that Maddox


    would be polite in front of Jarold, but he didn''t expect Maddox to answer this way.


    Indeed, Jarold felt like he was going to have a stroke when he heard that.


    "Why are you like this? What do you mean you didn''t pay attention? Monica came to visit you every


    day when you were sick. Can''t you see that she''s kind and gentle?" Jarold said.


    Then, Maddox replied, "I didn''t ask her to visit me."


    "You!" Jarold stood up furiously, wanting to lose his temper at Maddox.


    Seeing this, Geoffrey hurriedly stood up to hold him back. "Master Collines, don''t be mad. Maddox


    is too straightforward. How can he say something like that? But I understand what he means. Here,


    I''ll exin it to you," he said.


    "You know Sebastian''s character. If he didn''t pay attention to her, it means that he really does not


    care about her. This shows that he has no feelings towards the eldest daughter of the Dormer


    family." he added.


    However, Jarold could sense that something wasn''t right in Geoffrey''s words. He slightly narrowed


    his eyes as he looked at him.


    The pressure made Geoffrey let go of his hand. He said awkwardly, "Master Collins, you''ve worked


    so hard to find Sebastian. Now that he is back, do you really want to force him to do this? Although


    Monica is beautiful... you can''t force unwanted feelings, right?"


    As he said this, Jarold snorted coldly and smashed his crutch on the ground. "Great, it seems that


    you two have discussed how to deal with me, is that right?"
