Chapter 882


    Jarold had not expected things to turn out the way it had.


    He would never have imagined that Monica would do such a despicable and shameless thing.


    He closed his eyes as he digested these sudden changes. Then, a momentter, he opened his


    eyes and let out a murky breath. "You can''t tell anyone about this."


    After that, he nced at the people present with a warning in his eyes.


    Geoffrey could understand this. After all, this happened to be the business of a big, aristocratic


    family. Monica of the family had done such a dirty thing. Wasn''t it shameful?


    But then, he was shocked when he heard Master Collins''s following words.


    Master Collins looked at Maddox. He seemed to be disappointed in Monica after hearing what she


    had done. A tired look appeared in his pair of old eyes as he said, "Even if it was true that she


    drugged you, you can''t deny that you injured her and caused her to be marred by a scar, right?"


    Maddox pursed his thin lips and looked at him coldly. He stood there as if he was a statue and


    did not move.


    The aura around him was gloomy, and his pursed lips were like a straight line. He seemed to have


    already guessed what Jarold would say next.


    He thought for a while and said, "So, let''s consider things to be even among you two, alright?"


    Geoffrey opened his eyes wide in surprise. Even Baldrick was a little surprised. He didn''t expect


    after all these things had happened, Jarold would... still stand together with Monica.


    He was afraid that it wouldn''t be good if the situation continued on like this.


    Sure enough, after Maddox heard it, an indifferent smile appeared on his thin lips. It seemed that he


    was not surprised at all and raised his eyebrows coldly.


    "And then? If that''s the case, Grandpa, you won''t let me get engaged to her again, will you?"


    Jarold''s face didn''t look good either.


    However, Maddox did speak out what he had in mind. He did think of letting them get engaged.


    After all, that wound on Monica''s forehead was so deep. The most important thing was that Jarold


    did not wish for him to be together with that woman.


    Geoffrey couldn''t bear to see this any longer. He stepped forward and advised, "Master Collins, you


    can''t do this. Monica''s actions show that her character is just so-so. If she was to get engaged to


    Maddox, wouldn''t it be..."


    As he was halfway through his sentence, Jarold looked at him unhappily. He said in a low voice,


    "Geoffrey, I''ve already said that this is our Collins family matter. We don''t need outsiders to interfere


    with them."


    Geoffrey was at a loss for words.


    What Jarold said was right. This was indeed their family''s matter. As an outsider, he did not have


    the qualifications to meddle in it.


    He pursed his lips and said, "Master Collins, you''re right. It''s indeed not appropriate for me to


    interfere."


    "Then why don''t you take a step back?" Jarold asked.


    "But..." Geoffrey rubbed his head. He said, "Sebastian is my best friend. I can''t just stand by and


    watch as he is pushed into a fire pit."


    "How dare you!"


    Jarold was furious with Geoffrey''s words.


    "Geoffrey."


    Maddox looked at Geoffrey, and he subconsciously snorted. It was the first time he had seen


    Maddox looking at him with a different look. Then, he said, "You go back first."


    Things had already gotten to this point. There was no need to involve him in this.


    Geoffrey was stunned. He stood there for a while, then nodded his head.


    Although the words that Master Collins had said had hurt him, the gaze of Sebastian''s was enough


    for him.


    He felt that this trip for Maddox hadn''te in vain at all.


    After Geoffrey left, Jarold looked at his back with dissatisfaction. Only after he had disappeared did


    he say to Maddox, "Geoffrey isn''t a proper person, and his reputation in the circle isn''t all that good


    either. From now on, don''t interact with him."


    Maddox pursed his thin lips and looked at him with his dark eyes. He did not answer him.


    Jarold felt awkward. He said sternly, "Did you hear what I said to you?"


    Upon hearing this, Maddox''s lips twitched. "You''re controlling my marriage, and now you''re even


    going to control me in the matter of making friends?"


    Jarold was struck speechless.


    He was so angry that he wanted to swear. However, when he thought about the fact that there were


    other people in the hall, he waved his hand and asked them to take the servant away.


    Since the servant had already confessed everything, Maddox did not stop them.


    Soon, there were only three people left in the hall.


    Baldrick quietly stood by the side. He watched this scene in front of him helplessly. He had not


    expected things to unfold to such an extent.


    He had never thought that Monica would drug Mr. Sebastian. He didn''t expect Mr. Sebastian to


    directly expose her wrongdoings to embarrass Jarold either.


    Him going against his grandfather; it was really intense.


    "Now that the other people have gone, there are some things that I want to make clear with you.


    The Collins family and Dormer family are old family friends. Even if Monica did do those things, that


    was because you refused to be engaged to her. She was so angry that she did such a thing. How


    could she have gone awry if you had gotten engaged to her obediently?"


    After that, Jarold sighed heavily, sat down, and said softly, "I know that you don''t like her, but the


    rtionship between you two can be cultivated.

    You should get engaged to her first. After a long time, you will naturally develop a rtionship with


    her. At that time, the Dormer family and Collins Family will cooperate. What a good thing it is."


    Maddox looked up and fixed his eyes on Jarold''s face. He pursed his thin lips, but he did not reply.


    He didn''t say anything, but Jarold didn''t think that he had acquiesced. From the looks of it, it


    seemed as though he didn''t feel like he was bothered to speak to him.


    He curled his lips. In the end, he could only ask, "Where did you gost night?"


    It was fine if he didn''t ask. Maddox''s lips curved up when he asked, "Guess?"


    Jarold didn''t know what to reply.


    "But you were right, Grandpa. She drugged me and was injured because of me, so we''re even.


    But..." He paused, and his eyes were a little mocking. "I''m not a doctor. I don''t know how to heal the


    scar on her forehead. I won''t be interested in a person who drugged me. As for engagement? It''s


    impossible in this lifetime."


    "You!" Jarold gritted his teeth in anger. "Stubborn fool!"


    "Ha."


    Maddox sneered and said, "You''re so stubborn. Isn''t that so, Grandpa?"


    "What did you say? You dare to say that I am stubborn? You don''t respect me, do you? You!"


    He stood up again as he spoke. He raised his crutch and was about to hit Maddox again. However,


    Maddox did not suffer his scoldings blindly this time. Instead, he took a step back and said coldly.


    "I''ve already suffered a hit just now to tell you that apart from Minerva, I don''t want any other women


    in my life."


    Jarold was so angry that he continued to step forward. He wanted to hit him again, but Baldrick had


    no choice but to step forward and stop him. "Don''t be angry, Master Collins, calm down. Mr.


    Sebastian has definitely been injured because of the hit just now. What if you continue to hit and


    cripple him?"


    Maddox said, "Thepany still has something to deal with. I''ll go first."


    After finishing his words, he turned around and left directly.


    "You brat,e back!!!" Jarold shouted.
