Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)
Chapter 827

"Don't worry. There's nothing going on here. Just take good care of Beanie and yourself."

However, Vera couldn't help whispering, "You're lying. If there is nothing going on, would you suddenly contact Abigail?"

"I'm looking for her because she's Maddox's relative. And at the same time, I wish for her to stimulate his memories along the way. There's no other purpose."

This statement made Vera dubious. "Really? Just like that?"

Minerva sighed and said, "This is the only way. Or do you have a better idea?"

Vera hesitated," No."

After chatting about normal stuff for a while, Vera asked out of curiosity, "The New Year is coming soon. Are you sure you won't come back to spend the New Year with Beanie? Like a get together or something?"

Minerva was touched by her words.

She wanted to go back. There was no mother in the world who wouldn't miss her child, but she

didn't know if there would be any changes in the current situation, but seeing Vera constantly asking, she could only ease her voice and said, "Let's wait and see. If it's okay, I will free my time to go back and celebrate the New Year."

In the past, she would always refuse directly. But now, she had actually changed the way she delivered her statement. Vera instantly felt that the situation on Minerva's side was very good. Then wouldn't it be a good thing for her to bring Beanie to Minerva's for the celebration?

Thinking of this, Vera said happily, "Well, I'll wait for your good news with Beanie and Quill."

"Sure."

At the Collins family.

"Where did you go?"

After Maddox entered the household, all the maids in the living room were ordered away by Jarold, and he was the only one left sitting on the sofa.

He waited until Maddox entered and asked in a cold voice.

Maddox stopped in his tracks. He recalled the time he spent with Minerva and the news of Jarold he heard over the phone.

It seemed he had been lied to. Maddox pursed his lips and walked calmly towards the elder.

"Grandpa."

Jarold laughed coldly. "You still know that I'm your Grandpa?"

Maddox pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Where on earth have you been? I thought you were working overtime in the company these days. But today when I asked about you, I heard that you leave on time every day. You don't stay in the company at all."

Maddox looked up. "I am an adult. Even if I don't work overtime in the company, I have my own life. Apart from being in the company, can I only be at home?"

Jarold went silent,"..."

He snorted, "So what if you stay at home? I'm getting old. Don't you want to spend more time with me?"

Frankly, Maddox didn't have a strong attachment for Jarold. Although when he opened his eyes, he introduced himself as his grandfather and instilled some of his memories into him, he still believed it. However, Maddox wasn't on good terms with him at all, especially when he was trying to discipline him and get him engaged to Monica.

Maddox only wanted to stay far away from him.

"Well, it's understandable that young people like you don't want to spend time with me too much. But Monica is such a good girl. The Dormer family has been pampering her since she was a child. How can you refuse her?"

When Monica's name was mentioned, Maddox's eyes became a little colder. He stated in a cold voice, "Then do you think that even though I'm not interested in her, yet I still have to keep her hanging?" Jarold was pissed, ".. You d*mn br*t, do you know how to talk? Shut up if you can't."

Maddox went silent,"..."

"What do you mean by that? You have no interest in her because you haven't found out how good Monica is. What's bad about her? She is beautiful and can speak the language of all countries. According to her professional degree, as long as you are with her, it will be helpful to your career in the future."

Maddox was silent,"..."

"Say something."

Maddox's expression was icy. "Grandpa, didn't you tell me to shut up?"

Jarold was so angry with him that he nearly died of it. He clutched his chest. "You stinking br*t, I think you're going to piss me to death."

He sighed and showed a painful expression at the same time.

Maddox was helpless. He reached out and pinched his throbbing temples. "Didn't the butler say that you went back to your room when he called just now? Why did you come down again?"

Hearing this, only then did Jarold realize that he had been exposed. He quickly sat up straight and asked, "What? Would you come back if I didn't put it that way?"

Maddox spoke firmly, "Grandpa, I won't get engaged with Monica."

"What did you say? This marriage I arranged for you is the best. Overall, only Monica's family background and character match you. If you don't marry her, do you want to be lonely until you die?" Lonely for the rest of his life?

No way.

Maddox recalled Minerva's appearance and the viciousness in his eyes dissipated a little. "In short, I won't be engaged to her, no matter how many times you try to convince me. Furthermore, I don't need to rely on women for my career. If you think that I have to rely on women to consolidate my career, then you.. can replace another successor."

He didn't have any interest in the multi-million property and assets.

Jarold was stunned. His eyes were wide open as he stared at Maddox in disbelief. Jarold seemed to have seen another figure after Maddox declared such words with an indifferent expression.

This person's figure was petite. Although her shoulders frame was small, her back straight, but her voice was soft but sonorous. "I won't be engaged to that person. No matter how many times you say it, I just won't be engaged to him. I don't love him at all. Why should I be engaged to him? Father, I would rather die in front of you now if you're forcing me to marry a person I don't love."

At that time, Jarold was so enraged by her last sentence that he nearly shed tears. After all, she was his daughter, but she actually dared to say the word 'die' in front of him. She had really angered him to the point of death.

"You silly child. Will I harm you? I want you to get engaged with him for the sake of your future. You don't have any brothers. And in the future, the Collins family will be yours!"

"If I can't be with the person I love, I won't want them even if you give me all the assets of the Collins family. Furthermore, I have the ability to own these things. Why do I have to rely on someone else?" Back then, Maddox's mother, his daughter, Aurora Collins, had said these things in front of him in the same manner.

He didn't expect that her son would have the same temper as her after so many years.

What wrong had he done in his past lives to deserve this?

When he thought of Aurora, the expression on Jarold's face instantly turned grave. Sometimes, he thought that he should let this child off the hook. He was old anyway, so he couldn't care less.

But when he thought that he was really old, and probably would not live for much longer, he felt all the more reason that he could not let them go on like this.

He often regretted his actions. In the past, he hadn't been able to stop Aurora, or else his

precious daughter Aurora wouldn't have died.

When he thought up to this point, Jarold was even more determined not to allow Maddox to act on his own will.
