Geoffrey was truly a loudmouth.

After sitting down, he began to speak non-stop.

"Collins, Jarold has already called me. I think he's determined to have you engaged to Monica. Furthermore, I feel that he's even starting to suspect you. What are you going to do next?" As he spoke, he winked at Minerva.

Minerva didn't know what Geoffrey was up to. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have brought this up.

But Geoffrey acted as though he had done it on purpose. After speaking, he pursed his lips. "I can't let Minny suffer all the time like you do, can I?"

As he finished his words, Maddox's hand stopped. He slowly raised his head and looked at Geoffrey with his eagle eyes.

"What are you trying to say?"

Geoffrey curled his lips and spread out his hands. "I'm just worried for you guys. You know how influential Jarold is. If he finds out that you don't want to engage with Monica because of Minny, then.." He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew what would happen.

Geoffrey didn't mean to say that in front of Minerva. He was afraid that Minny would chicken out. But it was different now. He and Minerva had already talked it out.

He knew many of her secrets, even about her and Collin's past.

So he could speak without filtering and say whatever he wanted to say.

However, the frown on Maddox's face became tighter because of his words. While he wanted to deal with the things quietly, Geoffrey chose to make it clear.
