At the mention of Maddox, anger burned in the depths of Jarold's eyes. He said furiously, "This brat has gone too far. He dared to injure you like this. But, Monica... don't worry, I will definitely deal with this. Since he hurt you like this, then he has to take responsibility for it!" When Monica heard Jarold's words, she stretched out her hand and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, "Grandpa, can I stay here for now? I'm afraid that when my grandfather and Zaydon know about it..." She cleverly lingered her words at that point. Jarold continued for her, "Don't worry and stay here. It's Sebastian who injured you. I am a reasonable person. I won't leave you alone. Besides, you're Sebastian's future wife. I'll talk to your grandfather and Zaydon." "Thank you, Grandpa." Monica lowered her head with a gentle expression. However, her eyes flashed with delight.
Master Collins probably didn't know she had drugged Maddox. Even if he did, she wouldn't admit it. After all, that cup of tea had been given by the servants of the Collins family. She had already bribed the servant with a wad of cash, so she wouldn't say anything even if she was interrogated.
Moreover, with Maddox's cold and inward personality, he wouldn't expose her in public.
All she needed to do was to wait for Maddox to take responsibility.
Right at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Jarold was in a bad mood, so his tone grew impatient as well.
Baldrick stood at the door and respectfully looked at Jarold, "Master Collins, Mr. Sebastian has returned." Monica's eyes brightened when she heard this. He's back? She was delighted. He had finally cback. However, Monica quickly thought of something, and her expression turned a little grave.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBecause she cherished the chance she had last night very much, she gave Maddox a very high dosage. At that time, Monica only had one thought, which was to own Maddox forever.
But she didn't expect that he would push her away and hurt her. When she regained her composure, he was nowhere to be found.
Then, Maddox had disappeared for an entire night until now.
That night... she knew who had benefited most from her scheme.
Monica angrily clenched her fists as she thought about it. She really didn't expect her actions to benefit others. But so what? After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Dormer family.
When Jarold heard that Maddox had returned, he stood up immediately and bellowed, "He still dared to cback. Fine, I'll go and see what he wants!" "Master Collins," Monica softly called out to him and pleaded for mercy on Maddox's behalf, "Don't blSebastian too much. It's... not entirely his fault." "Whose fault is it if not his? Stay here and rest, I'll deal with him." After saying that, Jarold left the room. The doctor also told Monica to rest well and then left.
Baldrick followed behind Jarold down the stairs. As he walked, he heard Jarold say angrily, "Baldrick, bringthe family punishment tools." "Mr. Sebastian is already a grown man. It's not appropriate to use the family punishment tools." Baldrick advised. Jarold's idea was relatively traditional, which was why the Collins family still possessed family punishment tools. When Jarold heard this, he stopped in his tracks and looked at Baldrick with dissatisfaction.
"Baldrick, what do you mean by that? Even though he is a grown man, he had hurt Monica badly. He wouldn't know what he had done wrong if I let him be." When Baldrick heard that, he subconsciously reached out to touch his nose and begged for Maddox. "Although Mr. Sebastian had only stayed here for a while, I can tell that he is not an impulsive person. After all, Miss Dormer is a girl, he wouldn't have hurt her intentionally no matter how angry he was." Baldrick's thoughts were different from Jarold's. He was just a butler. To him, he was trying to tell it as a third person point of view. As an outsider, he was able to see and comprehend the bigger picture better compared to those directly involved.
Unlike Jarold, whose mind was filled with his stubborn thoughts. He felt that his grandson had gone too far this time.
But from Baldrick's point of view, Mr. Sebastian didn't seem like someone who would do such a thing at all. Jarold's mind seemed to have cleared for a moment upon hearing his words.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Baldrick with his turbid yet harsh eyes.
"So what you're trying to say is..." Baldrick coughed lightly and said, "I guess there might be smisunderstanding. Master Collins, you found Mr. Sebastian with great difficulty. You shouldn't hurt his heart because of things like these..." Jarold fell silent.
Baldrick was really a worthy person to have by his side. His words served as a reminder to Jarold and what he said had touched his heart deeply.
Truth be told, he felt he had been forcing Maddox too much too and that his grandson would retaliate sooner or later.
But on second thought, his mother's tragedy in the past.
Jarold then felt that even if he was a bit more annoying, it was acceptable. No matter what, he hoped that this grandson would stay by his side forever. When he thought of this, Jarold let out a heavy sigh, "I know what you mean. Enough, don't say any more. I have my own decisions." Geoffrey and Maddox stood at the main hall for a short while. Baldrick had went to fetch Master Collins. Soon, Baldrick cback with Jarold.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaddox watched the two approaching them. He stood up.
Bang! Jarold raised his hand and slammed his crutch onto Maddox's shoulder.
What the f*ck! Geoffrey didn't have the tto stop him at all. He didn't even see how Jarold had attacked.
That hit sounded painful.
Geoffrey immediately stood up, "Sebastian, are you alright?"
Baldrick, who was standing behind Jarold, was also shocked. At first, he thought that Jarold would listenm more or less to what he had said, but he didn't expect him to make such a move as soon as they met. And it seemed that Mr. Sebastian did not intend to dodge his attack. Otherwise, knowing Mr. Sebastian, he would probably have successfully avoided it. Baldrick thought in silence.
Maddox didn't intend to dodge at all.
As long as Jarold didn't force him to get engaged to Morice he would ve willingly take any punishment. It would be easier to talk to Jarold after he had calmed down. In fact, he had his own plan. Jarold didn't expect Maddox not to dodge; he just stood there and took his hit.
He used his full strength. He thought that this brat would avoid it, but who knew...
Jarold's heart ached that moment, but he didn't show. On the contrary, In the he berated, "You brat, how dare you cback after injuring Monica like that!"
