Although the two of them had not met each other formally before this, Jarold was, however, very familiar with Minerva. This woman had a huge entanglement with his grandson's life. She was the woman who had stayed by his side for the longest time.
However, this could only be said for Jarold, as Minerva couldn't recognize him at all.
Thus, when Jarold first saw Minerva, he immediately recognized who she was.
Minerva stood still and blinked at Jarold with a smile on her face. "Hello, do you know me?" One sentence was all it took to snap Jarold back into reality.
He looked at the woman in front of him, who had a smile on her lips and a cunning look in her eyes, and his face darkened.
"Your question sounds interesting." How could she ask him if he knew her? She was still acting like she didn't know him. Jarold sniggered in his heart. It seemed like this girl was smarter than he had imagined.
However, when he looked at her, Jarold's heart was still shook to the core.
Before he chere, he thought that she might be a fresh graduate or a vain woman. As long as he gave her money and threatened her with sterrifying words, she could be sent away easily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut what he had never expected was that she was neither a university student nor an ordinary person.
He should have known long ago that with his grandson's temper, how could he take a liking to anyone else... In the past, he had only been tempted before by this one woman.
He didn't expect...
Never would he imagine that now, he would fall into her hands once again.
If this was the case, it would be troublesome! Minerva tilted her head slightly to look at Jarold and asked, "Grandpa, this question... is not interesting at all." She had long guessed that Jarold knew her, but before he was going to admit it, she also could act like a fool. Anyway, she had wiped out everything about her and Maddox without any explanation.
Jarold sized up the woman in front of him. His eyes squinted slightly. She was even more beautiful than what he had contemplated in the photos. Her facial features were pretty, while the shape of her face was one of a classical beauty. Coupled with her cold temperament, it simply portrayed the beauty unique to western women to a whole new level.
Seeing that his grandson had taken a liking to such a woman, proved that his taste was nothing short of impeccable.
However, in his heart, only Monica was qualified to be his granddaughter-in-law. This woman in front of him, no matter how good-looking she was, she will not be qualified to be his granddaughter-inlaw. Since she wanted to play dumb, he would help her.
Jarold snorted coldly and retracted his gaze. "You've been pestering my grandson in the company, haven't you asked who I am? How dare you askif I know you? You're quite bold." Minerva smiled faintly. "Thank you for your praise, but... I don't quite understand what you're saying. What do you mean by that? Ever since I've joined the company, I've done everything according to the rules. I don't think I've done anything outrageous, have I?" These words turned into excuses in Jarold's ears. With a cold snort, he slammed his hand on the table. "Dare you still say that you haven't committed anything outrageous? Do you wantto call in a few people and expose you on the spot?" "I've never done anything that betrayed my conscience, so even if you find a few people to confront me, I won't feel any guilt since I haven't done so," Minerva replied.
She smiled calmly and was not nervous at all.
Jarold squinted his eyes. If it wasn't for Sebastian telling him the night before, that he wouldn't get engaged to Monica, as well as give up on the person he loved, Jarold would have thought that this girl in front of him had no relationship with Sebastian. However, after he said those words, how could he still believe her? It was this girl who insisted stubbornly and quibbled, Jarold thought.
"Little girl, there's no pride in doing something without having the guts to admit it." "Grandpa, I don't understand what you wantto admit," Minerva replied.
Jarold gave a look to the butler beside him. The butler immediately took out an envelope from his pocket and walked over to Minerva.
"This is what the master gave to you." The butler placed the envelope respectfully in front of Minerva. His attitude could be considered kind, and his eyes didn't seem to be fierce at all.
Minerva thanked him, but she did not take the envelope from his hand.
"There is a check in this envelope, and you take it!" Jarold said coldly.
Minerva didn't move. She looked at the envelope and blinked her eyes. "Grandpa, I don't quite understand what you mean. Why do I have to receive your check?" Jarold said impatiently, "Don't play dumb. Sebastian is my grandson. Will you take this check or not?" Upon hearing this, Minerva replied with an "oh" sound. Her face seemed to have cto a sudden realization as she took the envelope from the butler's hand. She then smiled at the butler and said, "Thank you, Uncle." The butler looked at her with a strange expression. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he still took a step back.
However, the expression in his eyes when he looked at Minerva turned into a piece of faint disappointment. He was standing outside the study last night, so he naturally heard Sebastian's words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe said firmly that he would not get engaged to Monica, nor would he give up the love of his life. He even used his own identity to threaten his grandpa.
At the time, the butler only thought to himself regarding the kind of girl that could make his young master so tempted and stubborn? He insisted on coming over this day to have a good look.
Therefore, when Minerva didn't accept the envelope at first, the butler had a good impression of her. However, he didn't expect her to actually accept it.
Alas, was their young master falling in love with the wrong person? Minerva took the envelope, the smile on her face becoming sweeter. She bent in the direction of Jarold and then said, "Thank you, Grandpa." The butler was shock. He almost thought that he had heard it wrongly.
Therefore, he looked at Jarold and asked with his eyes, was it the word 'grandpa' he had heard just now? Jarold had obviously heard it as well. He chided, "What did you say?" Minerva held the envelope in her hand and said,
"Thank you, Grandpa. Is it because of the fact that you know that I'm together with Sebastian, so you'ldspecially to givean envelope? Although I feel that you did not need to spend so much money, but... since this is a token of appreciation, I definitely can't reject it."
After speaking, Minerva squeezed out a smile at Jarold. "Grandpa, the next tyou come, you must informYou in advance so that I can prepare a gift for you. Otherwise...the fact that I took your envelope but didn't prepare a gift for you makesfeel embarrassed." Her smile was still charming, and her cheeks were red.
The butler was speechless.
Jarold, "..." Everyone on the scene was speechless.
Was this girl an imbecile?
Didn't she understand that Old Master Collins had given her a check and wanted her to leave Mic e om Sebastian? She actually thought that he was here to give her a gift? How could she be so stupid? What on earth was she thinking? Jarold almost fainted from anger after hearing her words. He covered his chest, pointed at Minerva, and said, "You... You..." X
