Chapter 880
Hearing this, Geoffrey, who had been standing by the side, inexplicably narrowed his eyes. Monica
was injured? What was going on? He nced at Maddox, who was in front of him and wanted to
ask.
However, he still knew what he should do. Geoffrey hurriedly moved away Jarold''s crutch and said
with a smile, "Master Collins, don''t be so angry. If you injured Sebastian, no one would take care of
thepany''s matters."
As Geoffrey spoke, he tried to move the crutch.
When Jarold heard these words, he said angrily, "It''s better to injured him. That way, he''ll know how
wrong he had been."
Geoffrey continued to smile, "Master Collins, even if he did something wrong, you should give him a
chance to exin before punishing him. If you did it without questioning him, even I would feel sorry
for Sebastian."
Upon hearing his words, Jarold narrowed his eyes slightly, "You feel sorry for him?"
He put away his crutch and looked at Geoffrey, then nced at Maddox and snorted, "Why should
he be aggrieved? You''re the one who injured
Monica terribly, so tell me, what grievance do you have?"
It wasn''t that it didn''t hurt, but Maddox''s expressionless face looked as if he hadn''t been hit at all.
He pursed his thin lips and threw a cold nce at Jarold.
"Grandpa, do you know what happenedst night?"
Jarold burst into anger as soon as he mentioned the night before, "Why wouldn''t I know? I told you
to see Monica but you ran away after injuring her."
After speaking, Jarold sat down and threw his crutch to the side. He was clearly furious.
Maddox squinted his eyes slightly when he saw this.
It seemed like Jarold didn''t know he had been drugged.
What would he feel if he knew that Monica had done such a sordid thing?
Thinking of that, Maddox curled his lips into an obscure smile.
Jarold caught his action; he gritted his teeth and said, "You brat, what are youughing at?"
Geoffrey looked at Maddox''s reaction and thought, "This is bad, if I don''t step in and exin,
Sebastian wouldn''t speak out knowing his temperament."
Geoffrey was d that he hade with him.
Thus, Geoffrey walked forward and stood in front of Jarold. In a soft voice, he said, "Master Collins,
you only know that Monica was injured, but you don''t know the reason behind it."
The reason behind it?
Master Collins nced at Geoffrey, "What reason? I would like to know what caused Sebastian to
injure Monica to such an extent."
After pondering for a while, Geoffrey looked at Maddox and tried to find a suitable way to say it. But
to his surprise, Maddox suddenly voiced out coldly.
"If Monica had done a despicable and shameful thing, would Grandpa still want me to be engaged
to her?"
Jarold, startled by his words, suddenly stood up, "What do you mean she had done something
despicable and shameful? Speak clearly!"
In actual fact, he had listened to Baldrick''s words, but he really couldn''t figure out what Monica
could do to make his grandson so angry and hurt her.
Maddox''s eyes were indifferent, and his expression was also cold. He said casually, "I almost went
to the hospitalst night."
"What did you say?"
Jarold gritted his teeth hard and stared at him. Finally, he turned to Geoffrey, "What exactly is going
on?"
Geoffrey kept silent.
He was trying to think of a way to exin it to Jarold, but before he could, Maddox had already
voiced out. He had no choice but to exin, "Master Collins, this is the truth. Although I wasn''t at
the scene, when I saw Sebastian at the gate, he was in very bad condition. At that time, he was
nearly unconscious. Other than Monica, there wasn''t anyone else in the Collins family who would
drug him, right?"
His words weren''t unambiguous Jarold could only vaguely tell that Maddox had been drugged,
nearly unconscious, and almost went to the hospital.
He thought the whole story was ridiculous, "What nonsense? Do you mean Monica intended to hurt
Sebastian? That''s impossible! You knew how Monica took care of him before. Why would she do
such a thing?"Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.
"Master Collins, I didn''t say that Monica wanted to hurt Sebastian. Also... who said the drug was
poison, huh?"
Geoffrey purposely extended the word "huh" but seeing Jarold was still frowning, he mouthed a
word.
Jarold didn''t understand. He squinted his eyes, stared at him, then at Bald rick, who was off to the
side.
Baldrick was also at a loss. However, when he thought about how obsessed Monica was with Mr.
Sebastian, there was only one other reason why she would drug him...
When Baldrick realized it, his face turned red. He coughed lightly and said, "Master Collins, I think I
know what kind of drug Mr. Jules is talking about."
"What is it? Tell me quickly."
Baldrick looked at Maddox''s dark face and exined, "Miss Dormer definitely didn''t want to harm
Mr. Sebastian. But she admired him. If she hadn''t wanted to poison him, then I''m afraid the drug
she used was... that kind."
That kind of drug?
Jarold never thought about it that way. To him, the Dormer family was well brought up, and their
children were all very noble. So, they would never do such a thing.
Therefore, although Geoffrey exined it many times, he still wasn''t able to wrap his head around
it.
Only after Baldrick''s exnation and gentle probing, Jarold gradually began to realized the
truth.
Could it be... an aphrodisiac?
With this thought in mind, the expression on Jarold''s face immediately changed.
Maddox pursed his lips and smiled coldly, "Well then, since she treated me like this, and I was in a
daze when I hurt her, it wasn''t my fault. She had asked for it. Isn''t it unfair for you to me me?"
Geoffrey also nodded in agreement and said, "That''s right, Master Collins. Sebastian really suffered
from the effect of the drug. He really tried to withstand its effect, hence Monica was injured. I felt she
deserved it too."
"Shut your mouth!" Jarold bellowed.
He looked at Geoffrey with dissatisfaction and said coldly, "This is between the Collins family and
Monica. What is it to you?"
Geoffrey fell silent.
Geoffrey didn''t expect that he would be the target of attack. He immediately looked at Maddox
with pleading eyes.
At this moment, Jarold was truly dumbfounded. He couldn''t believe that Monica would do such a
thing. That child had practically grown up under his watch. She was usually caring, kind, gentle, and
courteous to her elders. Previously, she had also taken care of Maddox, who was injured, so how
could she have done such a horrible thing?
She had drugged Maddox...
What kind of a person would do such a thing...
