The more he thought about it, the more absurd he found it to be. Jarold didn't believe it.
"It's impossible. I watched Monica grow up. How could she do such a thing? Sebastian, in order not to get engaged to her, you dared to team up with Geoffrey to lie tolike this?" Geoffrey said, "Master Collins, why would we team up and lie to you? This matter, if not managed well, will tarnish our reputation. If it's not true, why would we say it?" At this moment, Maddox laughed a little. It was a hollow laugh, and it sounded sarcastic.
"Grandpa, I knew you wouldn't believe it, so..." As soon as he finished speaking, two people cin, and they escorted a servant in.
Geoffrey blinked his eyes at the scene as if he had not realized what had happened.
Jarold looked at the servant, who had been escorted in, and recognized her as the servant who usually served him tea. Suddenly, he seemed to have understood something. However, he didn't expect that Maddox had taken action so fast.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTwo men in black brought over the servant. When she saw the people in the hall, her face immediately turned pale with fear, "Letgo! I don't know anything. I am innocent!" Although she hadn't confessed anything, her crazy reaction had already explained everything.
When Master Collins saw the expression on the servant's face, he suddenly felt that what Maddox and Geoffrey had said might be true. That girl, Monica, had really done something despicable and dirty. However... If such a thing was to really spread out, the reputation of the Dormer family would probably be ruined by her.
He had such a deep friendship with the Dormer Family. How could he watch Monica and the Dormer Family's reputation be ruined like this? When he thought of this, Jarold immediately said, "Why are you shouting here? It's so noisy. Hurry up and drag her away!" It was rare for him to be so strict with his family's servants in everyone's eyes. He had always been gentle with them, not would he ever look down on them.
However, since he said so, it meant that he was really panicked. He was trying his best to protect the reputations of the Dormer family and the Collins family.
But how could Maddox follow his will? Even if it was his grandfather, sthings had to be brought to light. He did not like to live a life of being controlled by others.
"Grandpa, why are you in such a hurry? Let's hear what she's going to say next." Jarold took a deep breath and looked at him, Their gazes met. For the first time, he discovered that Maddox's gaze was so cold and icy. For a moment, he felt as if Maddox was no longer treating him as his grandfather. Baldrick's words before he went downstairs suddenly appeared in his mind.
"No matter what, Mr. Sebastian is your grandson whom you found with great difficulty. Master Collins, you shouldn't hurt his heart because of some... matters." Those words suddenly echoed in Jarold's ears. He looked at Maddox, suddenly speechless.
He had always thought that he was doing the right thing for his grandson and he did not want him to follow in his mother's footsteps, but why did it have to end like this? What had he done wrong? The servant kept crying and shouting. Maddox glared at her with a fierce look, and it scared her into silence immediately. Then she lowered her head and didn't dare to make a sound.
Maddox sneered, "Tell me. What did you do last night? Telleverything clearly." Although these words were spoken to the servant, Maddox's sharp gaze never left Jarold's. He would not let anyone out of his sight.
Upon hearing his voice, the servant couldn't help but tremble. Then, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground. After a while, she raised her head and said with tears all over her face, "Mr. Sebastian, please forgive me. I was brainwashed, so I did this kind of thing." If she had known that she would get caught, she would definitely not do it.
Maddox's commanding manner had truly frightened her. When he glanced at her, her legs had already gone limp. When she thought of what she had done to his tea the night before, she felt as if her life was a stake.
"Make it clear!" Seeing that she was vague, Geoffrey went forward and asked her, "What did you do last night, what happened, who ordered you to do this; be crystal clear. If you dare to say a wrong word, I will..." "That's enough!" Jarold couldn't help but let out a shout.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was not a fool. When he heard the servant's words, how could he still not understand? However, he really couldn't believe that Monica would do such a thing. If the servant continued to say... "Grandpa, do you feel sorry for Monica?" Maddox smiled coldly, "What about me?" Then what about him? This question immediately hit the bottom of Jarold's heart. His pupils contracted slightly as he looked at Maddox, unable to say anything. "Am I your grandson?" Jarold said, "Of course. There is no doubt about it." "Then why? I have been wronged, yet you are helping outsiders cover it up instead?" Maddox's gaze was sharp and deep.
When Jarold looked into his eyes, he knew that if he didn't let Maddox finish this matter, he would probably be disappointed in him.
"Go on." When Maddox saw that Jarold no longer tried to stop him, he curled his lips and said coldly.
Geoffrey pointed at the servant, "Did you hear that? Hurry up and tell us. If you were a man, I would have beaten you up. Do you want to get beaten up?"
Maybe it was because of Geoffrey's threat, but the servant was so scared that she shivered and immediately said, "I'll say it! Yes, Miss Dormer askedto do this!"
She looked like she was about to pass out from fear. Her eyes turned red, and her voice trembled, "I delivered tea to Master Collins and Mr. Sebastian as usual last night.
Miss Dormer suddenly gave melal pack of medicine and askedto pour it into Mr. Sebastian's cup. Then, she promisedthat she would givea large sum of money so that I could live a carefree life with my family. I was afraid of being discovered, but Miss Dormer said that the medicine is colorless and tasteless. It would not be discovered at all. Miss Dormer also said that she would immediately arrange for someone to sendaway as long as I do this. At that time... no one would find me." Who would have thought that Monica herself was injured and the plan failed? The person who had arranged for her to leave was too slow too, hence she was caught.
"I've already confessed everything.
Master Collins, Mr. Sebastian, I know I was wrong. I only did this because I e1 was brainwashed. Can you sparethis tfor the sake of what I've done for the Collins family for so many years?" Jarold shut his eyes tiredly and let out a heavy sigh.
