Just one word from her-telling him not to marry Andrea-
He would agree immediately.
Yet Maureen shook her head, repeating her earlier words. “Congratulations. If you needto cooperate with the
divorce paperwork, | will.”
“But only if you give Ethan back to me.”
Geoffrey's heart sank.
He realized Maureen truly didn’t care about him anymore-not about him being with others, nor about him
marrying another woman.
Irritation surged through him, though he couldn't pinpoint why.
He coughed heavily and tossed the breakfast Andrea brought straight into the trash can.
“Order whatever you want to eat.”
After saying that, he walked past Maureen and headed straight to the study
Maureen found him genuinely childish now-did he really think she'd eat anything Andrea sent?
She went to the kitchen to make breakfast herself. After eating, she

texted Geoffrey and left.
Geoffrey had been waiting in the study for Maureen's apology, but all
he got was her text.
“I'm heading to the office.”
Just five simple words.
His face darkened like soot after reading it.
When he went downstairs, Maureen had already left long ago.
The kitchen stood empty-she hadn't prepared breakfast for him...
Geoffrey's stomach ached, and his headache grew even worse.
He summoned his driver and asked him to bring breakfast along.
At the office, Maureen checked her phone and noticed an unknown call on her overseas number last night.
The number was registered in Karaville. Instead of calling back, she asked someone to trace the subscriber.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was soon confirmed to be Andrea...
With Andrea’s plagiarism scandal still raging online, it made sense she'd reach out now.
Maureen waited for her next call.

Sure enough, the phone rang again shortly after.
Maureen connected via an overseas IP and activated a voice changer before answering.
“Hello.”
“Is this Ms. Shi?”
Andrea here. I'd like to discuss the composition issue. My staff messed up and accidentally used your work in
Beacon of Hope. What'll it take for you to drop the lawsuit?”
Andrea sounded extremely polite over the phone.
Had she known Professor Shi was actually Maureen, she might not have been so courteous.
“Simple.
First, apologize to my lawyer.
Then publicly admit to plagiarism.”
Maureen responded calmly.
“I'll apologize, but | can’t admit plagiarism. Nyour price-I’ll pay anything, okay?”
Andrea knew her career in the music scene, even the whole entertainment industry, would end if she confessed.
“Then wait for an international lawsuit.”

Maureen hung up.
She knew Andrea’s type-no point wasting words.
Andrea hurled her phone aside in rage.
The assistant carefully picked it up: “Andie, what happened?”
“She wantsto apologize to Katherine and publicly admit plagiarism.”
The assistant frowned: “That's unacceptable?
If you admit plagiarism, everything you've built will go down the drain.”
Andrea decided to ignore this Teacher Shi. She refused to believe anyone would waste trefusing money to
fight an international lawsuit against her.
Her top priorities now were dealing with Maureen's situation and marrying Geoffrey.
Not ssong.
“The company anniversary is tonight. | need to prepare properly. Just spend money to suppress the plagiarism
allegations online for now.”
Andrea knew her limited funds wouldn't buy much time.
But it would suffice until she secured the marriage,
At the company.

Maureen soon received Katherine's call.
“Reenie, coming over today?”
It was the weekend, and Katherine had hoped to camp outdoors with Maureen and Jacob.
Maureen declined: “Geoffrey's watchingclosely. He's already discovered Ethan. If he figures out Jacob's
identity too, it'll be trouble.”
“We'll meet in a few days.”
Katherine found this reasonable.
“Alright then. Focus on getting pregnant with his child so we can return to Country Town sooner.”
“Yeah.”
Maureen unconsciously touched her belly. For sreason, Geoffrey seemed more guarded since her return this
time.
Conceiving a child might prove difficult...
A knock sounded at the transparent glass door. She saw Wayne standing outside and immediately ended her
call.
“Wayne, what is it?”
Wayne entered. “Ms. Ramirez, Mr. Sutton wants you in his office.”
Maureen had thought Geoffrey wouldn't be here today.
Though reluctant, Ethan was in his control. She had no choice.

“Okay.”
After her agreement, Wayne didn’t leave but accompanied her toward the CEO's Office.
En route, Wayne spoke up.
“Ms. Ramirez, | must say this. Mr. Sutton searched for you all these years. | believe he cares.”
Maureen paused.
Wayne halted beside her. She offered a faint smile. “You call that
concern?”
Wayne froze, bewilderment crossing his refined features behind gold- rimmed glasses.
Maureen continued, “Wayne, do you recall how you treatedbefore?”
“When | called Geoffrey, you answered most times. You always toldhe was busy, occupied.
Didn't you often hang up ondirectly?”
“Besides, have you ever calledMrs. Sutton?”
