Chapter 840


    At the Collins family.


    Ever since Jarold''s phone call, Maddox decided not to go to Minerva''s for the time being. 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 rtionship 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 whe was in front of him, his ck eyes sharp. He thought that he looked very simr to his mother, Aurora,


    especially the point between his eyes and brows. They looked very much like each other.


    Every time he 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,e with me to the study."


    Maddox could see through the pain in Jarold''s eyes. He looked at his back and narrowed his eyes slightly.


    For such a long time, Jarold had never looked at him with that kind of expression.


    Could samething 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 tell me why 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 exined 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 became a bit nched.


    "If you don''t like her, then who do you like?"


    Thetter 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 exined coldly, "In short, I won''t get engaged to her. Although I’m your grandson, I don''t want to be manipted by you."


    "You br*t. How will I harm you? Tell me the truth. Are you having a lover outside?”


    There was a sh 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 thepany 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..." Maddoxughed 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, coldblooded animal. It''s normal for me to like someone, and I''m not seduced by anyone.”


    He said these words to Jarold with a


    very serious expression and attitude.


    If he didiv''t take this matter seriously,


    whether it was a denial or an ~


    exnation, Jarold would feel that


    this. matter wasn''t that important.


    But what about now?


    Maddox had said this to himin 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.


    Seeing 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 someone out there. No wonder..you didn''t


    come back home to eat with me for 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 ufortable.


    "Hmph, do you think I''ll believe in


    your nonsense?” Jarold immediately


    ordered. "Go Back tomorrow and


    chase that Woman out of the 5


    com pany: Don''t let her stay there


    any longer. Do you think anyone-can


    entecthe Collins family? Why- don''t


    yout dake a look at her background?


    What if she wants your pésition and


    assets? Youre still young. Listen to


    me. Dismiss her tomorrow and give


    her some money. Tell her not to


    bother you anymore." Content

    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 youttave eaten. Girls like


    this who just join hepany are-~


    mostly 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 youll fall for the


    charms of this kind of woman. Go


    chase her out of thepany


    tomorrow!"


    Jarold’s stance was very unyielding


    Maddox looked down and closed his eyelids, covering his dark eyes. At the same time, 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

    Maddox raised his head and his eyes were pitch ck. "What if I don''t?”
