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 moment later, he opened his eyes and let out a murky breath. "You can't tell anyone about this."
After that, he glanced 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.
