The butler was also very surprised. He thought that Minerva had accepted the money as a silent understanding of Master Collins' words, but who would have thought that...
Looking at the sly woman in front of him, the butler couldn't help but slowly curve his lips.
Surely enough, the woman who could attract Sebastian's attention was indeed different.
He should have chosen to believe in his young master.
A woman who was able to let Sebastian stand firm and state that he would not give up on the person that he loved, how would it be possible for her to just take the money and leave so easily? "Grandpa, do you want stea? I'll get you a cup of tea," Minerva said.
Jarold was so angry that he clamored loudly, "You're not allowed to callGrandpa!" Minerva blinked her eyes and asked innocently, "Why? You've already givena gift. If I don't call you Grandpa, it would be very rude." "I asked you to take the money because I wanted you to..." However, without waiting for Jarold to finish his sentence, Minerva turned around and went out to brew stea, leaving the people inside the secretary's office looking at each other in dismay. After a long while, Jarold turned to look at the butler. "Where did she go?" The butler blinked his eyes and recalled their conversation. He tried to reply, "Maybe... she went to brew tea for you?" "What kind of tea? Do you think I would drink the tea she brewed?" The butler covered his mouth with his hand and coughed softly. "I think this girl is quite clever." His praise made Jarold feel uncomfortable. After all, he would accept only Monica as Sebastian's wife. Upon hearing this, he snorted coldly, "She's trying to show off her little tricks in front of me. After receiving the money, she still wants to take advantage of me? There's no such thing in the world!" His tone was very tough, causing the butler to be worried when he heard it. Compared to a shrewd old man like Master Collins who had been working in the business field for dozens of years, Minerva was nothing more than an inexperienced girl.

"She's trying to play games withdeliberately. Baldrick, tell her later that I won't drink her tea and let her know her place before leaving the company. Otherwise, don't blme for chasing her out of the company personally." The butler, Baldrick, was speechless.
Baldrick had his unspoken worries. He didn't want to do this, but he had no choice.
After a while, Minerva returned with a cup of tea. The tea was steaming. She walked up to Jarold with the cup of tea in hand and placed it on the table.
"Grandpa, this is what I just brewed. If you don't mind, try it." However, she did mind that Jarold had erased her and Maddox's past, and had allowed another person to get engaged to Maddox, in order to prevent her being together with Maddox.
But anyway, Jarold was Maddox's grandfather! She naturally hoped to gain his trust.
At the stime, she did not wish for her relationship with Maddox to be rejected by the elders and not be blessed.
After all, the couples who weren't accepted by their elders and didn't even receive a sincere blessing, would feel uncomfortable.
Jarold stared at the cup of tea, letting out a cold snort. He didn't even reach out to touch it, but at such a close distance, the cup of tea still made its way into his breathing passage through the air. When he smelled the strong aroma of the tea, he felt his desire being aroused.
Jarold was fond of tea.
Many people knew this, and given that Minerva had no extra tto prepare, she could only take advantage of it.
"Baldrick!" Jarold called out to the butler! Baldrick cback to his senses and looked at Master Collins calmly. He then looked at the cup of tea and walked forward.
"Miss Hanover, since you have already accepted the check, please leave the company. Seeing that we have yet to make a big deal, you should find it more decent to yourself if you leave so that you won't..." Minerva nodded. She looked at Jarold and asked, "Grandpa, are you saying that you're going to givea day off?" Jarold was speechless.
So was Baldrick.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA moment later, Jarold snorted coldly, "Baldrick, there's no need to be so polite. Let's get to the point." Baldrick nodded heavily. He took a step forward and said forcefully, "Miss Hanover, what Master Collins means is that you should leave Mr. Sebastian as soon as you receive the money. The money in the check is enough to allow you to maintain a carefree lifestyle for the rest of your life. If you stay gullible and continue to pester Mr. Sebastian, the Collins Family will take tough measures to let you leave." Those words were spoken directly to the point. Jarold looked at Baldrick with a look of satisfaction on his face.
They had made it so clear. If Minerva was shy, she would have left with the money. However, she still didn't. She stood beside the table with a smile and said softly, "Actually, I have the ability to earn money on my own, so Grandpa, you don't need to worry about the rest of my life. Furthermore, I thought that this check was a gift that you gave me. Since that's not the case, then I won't accept it." After that, she took the envelope out and put it back on the table.
Everyone was shocked. They hadn't thought that she would actually return the envelope. Did it indicate that she wouldn't leave Sebastian just because of the money? Baldrick looked at her with satisfaction.
However, Jarold's face immediately darkened. He said angrily, "What do you mean by this? You dare to return my money after receiving it?" Minerva smiled and said, "Unless this is a present for our first meeting, or I won't accept this money."
Jarold squinted his eyes as he looked at her. From the moment they had met, she had been neither humble nor pushy. In addition, she didn't show the slightest bit of fear towards him either. She dealt with him calmly and changed her demeanor accordingly. He was surprised by Minerva's character.
Jarold admired this kind of girl as well. She was much more outstanding than those who just kept crying when they were in trouble.
What a pity!
"When you were brewing tea, you opened the envelope, didn't you?" Jarold asked in a low voice. However, without waiting for Minerva's reply, he continued, "Do you think I didn't pay you enough? Then tellhow much you want? As long as you're willing to leave Sebastian, I'll give you as much money as you want." He spoke very generously as if he were ready to risk everything for his grandson.
Minerva raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but ask, "So you mean that as long as I'm willing to leave him, you'll promisewhatever I want?" Jarold looked at her discontentedly and replied with a heavy sound of agreement.
But Baldrick felt that Minerva was not so easy to deal with as with ordinary women. Besides, her current O expression made people feel that she was not really eager to get something. Sure enough, the words that cout of her mouth in the next second almost made everyone faint. "Well, I don't want much. But since you're so open-minded, why don't you givethe Collins Family?" X
