Perfect Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 1000

"I don't think I'll stay for dinner, and about Master Collins, I'll keep him company, just like I have all these years. Madam Minerva, you don't have to worry about it."

For some reason, she felt heartbroken for Jarold when she heard Baldrick's words.

She felt saddened for Jarold who was already well advanced in years, living alone abroad with no family or relatives with him.

She felt heavy in her heart but she didn't say anything else.

After sending Baldrick off, Minerva returned to her room. She opened her laptop and went online to check on information about Collins Corporation.

She did not know much about the Collins family and at that moment, she was curious to find out more about them.

Perhaps, if the situation allowed, she and Maddox could invite Jarold to live with them once they had settled in Hidalgo.

After all, he was already an elderly man. It wasn't easy for him to finally have family members around him, and now he had to go back to living by himself.

The feeling of losing what you had just gained was unbearable.

She was focused on the research. When Beanie came out of his shower, she was still engrossed with her laptop

Beanie's body was still damp from the shower. He hugged her neck and asked, "Mommy, what are you looking at?"

Upon hearing his childish voice, Minerva grabbed the pair of hands around her neck and said softly, "I'm just doing some research. You're done with your shower?"

He nodded obediently.

Then, he looked at the content on her laptop and said with a smirk, "Isn't this Great-Grandpa?"

"That's right."

She looked through the information on the Collins family and there were many articles about Jarold as an entrepreneur. There were also video interviews done with him. She looked through all of them and realized that he was very calm in all his interviews and he would answer all the questions clearly.

However, towards the end of a video interview, a snide reporter asked Jarold if his success was contributed by the help of his family members.

The reason she asked him that question was because they thought it was a smart way to get him to talk about his family. Although nobody in the public truly knew the story behind him and his family, and the reason why his children left him, everyone knew it happened. It was likely that the interviewer did not know about his past when she brought up that question.

She couldn't ask for answers directly so she tried to play it smart with other questions.

When Jarold was asked that question, his expression changed from being confident to solemn. The change in his emotions were obvious to the viewers.

He looked at the reporter who asked the question and said in a cold voice, "Are you sure you prepared for this interview? How could you ask this question?"

At that time, it was a live broadcast. The inexperienced reporter thought that a successful entrepreneur like Jarold would not get upset while he was live but he unexpectedly did. She was caught off guard and didn't know how to react.

Fortunately, the experienced reporters went forward to smoothly cover up for her, but in the end, the interview still ended on bad terms.

The comments on the video were varied.

"Was there something wrong with the reporter's brain? What kind of question was that? How could she ask him this question? Let alone a reporter, even normal citizens like us knew about the entrepreneur's relationship with his family members."

"It's so obvious that the reporter asked that question on purpose. Was she trying to be smart? Who does she think she is? Why did she think Jarold Collins would make an exception for her?"

"Hey, you guys with the comments above, what's wrong with asking that question? I think that she had already put it in the nicest way possible! Or do you expect her to ask him why his family didn't like being with him?"

"Are you serious about your comment? Why should he even answer your questions about his private life? Moreover, you actually feel proud about having these questions asked? It doesn't matter if she put it in a nice way or not, the hurt would have felt all the same to him!"
