Everyone was almost scared out of their wits by her words! Several tall men in suits all looked at Minerva in disbelief, and their faces turned pale one by one.
This girl really had the guts to ask for it. She was asking for such a huge sum of money, it seemed as if Master Collins would faint from anger.
Everyone looked at Master Collins.
As expected, Jarold was greatly angered. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot at this very moment. He pointed angrily at her, "What did you say? Say it again?" Minerva's red lips curved up slightly as she smiled sweetly. "What's wrong, Grandpa? It was you who said just now that I could ask for anything I wanted, or is it because Sebastian is no match for the Collins Family in your eyes? If that's the case, then I won't be able to leave him. After all, even if you really were to givethe Collins Family, I wouldn't leave him." These words shocked Jarold. He didn't expect her to say that.
Was it true? Was it because she knew that he wouldn't agree, in which she found the confidence to say so? "Humph." Jarold laughed coldly. "No matter what, it's fine if you want or don't want it. I'll never agree to such a ridiculous request. If you think this isn't enough money, I'll give you more money, and then you'll leave!" Minerva stayed rooted to the spot and did not move.
After explaining to him for so long, she suddenly felt a little tired.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe did not know when Maddox would come, and because this was his grandfather, she could not go too far. She was really starting to get tired if this were to continue. Furthermore, it was obvious that he was serious, with no intention of playing around with her.
Minerva sighed in her heart and said seriously, "Master Collins, I really can't leave him, no matter what you give me." When he saw her like this, Jarold squinted his eyes, a sharp glint in his eyes. He snorted coldly, "I didn't think that you'd find this place." Upon hearing this, Minerva was shocked. She couldn't help but raise her head to look at Jarold's eyes. Was he going to have a showdown with her? No more playing with her? If that was the case, she would say whatever she wanted to say.
However, just as Minerva's lips moved, a cold male voice sounded from outside the door.
"Grandpa, Why are you making things difficult for her?" This familiar and deep voice...
Minerva's heart skipped a beat of joy. She turned around suddenly and looked towards the source of the voice. Maddox, dressed in a simple suit, stood at the door of the secretary's office. He was surrounded by a cold aura. He looked coldly at the scene in the secretary's office and then strode towards Minerva. Minerva was about to call him when he grabbed Minerva's wrist and pulled her behind him.
"It'swho has been pestering her. Grandpa, you can cat me." The sudden appearance of Maddox made Jarold squint his eyes. He looked at Maddox and Minerva behind him unhappily. He pursed his lips. "Don't you still have stbefore going to work? What's wrong? Did you chere ahead of schedule just for a woman? Or could it be that she used the excuse of brewing tea just now to make a complaint?" Minerva, who was hiding behind Maddox, suddenly felt wronged. She really went to brew tea with a serious attitude. She didn't want to make a complaint at all.
Of course, she was not the kind of woman who would complain to her husband when she was bullied.
After all, this matter was too complicated. She didn't want to involve Maddox because he didn't know what she and Master Collins knew.
Secondly, Master Collins didn't like her at all. If he were to find out that she had made a complaint, his impression of her would surely plummet.
Therefore, no matter what she did, she would not be the type of person who would make a complaint.
Then how did Maddox know about this matter and cat this time? "Grandpa, Minerva isn't the kind of person who will make a complaint." Just as Minerva was confused, Maddox spoke and explained for her, "I had guessed that you would cover. I didn't see Grandpa this morning, so I guessed that you might be at the company. I didn't expect... I was right." Jarold had been exposed in such a blatant manner by his grandson, and he couldn't hold it in any longer. He grunted angrily, "So what? How did you respond tolast night? What bullsh*t are you spouting? I you're not willing to do it yourself, then I have no choice but to chere personally." Maddox felt his temple beating rapidly and said coldly, "Grandpa, please go back. I'll handle it myself." "What do you want to do with her?" Jarold looked coldly at Minerva, his eyes filled with displeasure. "Allow her to stay here?" Maddox's expression was cold, and there was not a trace of warmth on his face.
"She is an employee of the company, so naturally she should stay here." When he heard this, Jarold's tone grew even louder. "Do you know what you're doing? Have you forgotten everything Grandpa told you? You have to fire her immediately." Minerva was worried, seeing the two on the verge of a quarrel because of her. Jarold's emotions seemed to have gone out of control the moment Maddox appeared.
After all, Jarold was Maddox's grandfather. Furthermore, he was the one who had saved Maddox back then. She still respected and appreciated him.
She subconsciously tugged at Maddox's sleeve. Maddox's gaze paused for a moment before turning to look at Jarold.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Grandpa, she's an employee of the company. It's up towhether to fire her or not. If you think my decision has an impact on the company or is problematic, you can take all my rights back." These words completely blocked Jarold's path.
"What, what did you say?" Maddox grabbed Minerva's slender fair wrist. "You don't like to see her, so I'll take her away from here." After that, he pulled Minerva out of the secretary's office.
"Stop!" Jarold shouted, but Maddox's steps were very quick, and he disappeared without a trace.
Baldrick followed them and took a look. He turned around and said with embarrassment, "Judging by the direction, Mr. Sebastian must have taken the girl to the office." When Jarold heard this, his face turned even darker.
"How could he do that?" Baldrick replied, "Master Collins doesn't want to see her, so Mr. Sebastian has to take the girl away."
"Baldrick, what do you think is going on with Sebastian? Isn't it good for him that I've done this? How can he be so ungrateful as to take the girl away in front of me? Also, listen to what he said, is he threatening me? Does he think that I don't have anyone else to inherit his legacy except for him?" Baldrick nodded honestly.
"That's right." Jarold was in silence.
"Apart from Mr. Sebastian, you really can't find another heir."
Otherwise, why would Jarold have to spend so much effort to keep Side? Sebastian by his side? Before m Sebastian had appeared, he had always been running the company alone. He believed no one and was not willing to give any relatives a chance. Jarold was instantly speechless.
