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 some tea? I'll get you a cup of tea," Minerva said.
Jarold was so angry that he clamored loudly, "You're not allowed to call me Grandpa!"
Minerva blinked her eyes and asked innocently, "Why? You've already given me a 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 some tea, 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.
However, as a butler, he didn't dare to say anything. He could only step aside quietly and
remain silent.
"She's trying to play games with me deliberately. Baldrick, tell her later that I won't drink her tea and let her know her place before leaving the company. Otherwise, don't blame me 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 same time, 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.
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 tell me how 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 promise me whatever 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 expression made people feel that she was not really eager to get something.
Sure enough, the words that came out 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 give me the Collins Family?"
