| won't go back on my word.”
“Fine, it’s settled.”
Maureen finally spoke.
Geoffrey's chest tightened painfully as he forced a smile. “Yeah, settled.”
After Maureen left, Geoffrey felt his heart tearing apart, agony flooding him.
Wayne approached the car. “Mr. Sutton, shall we return to the hospital?”
His injuries hadn't fully healed.
Geoffrey shook his head. “Taketo my previous residence.”
“Yes.”
Geoffrey didn’t even remember where he used to live.
He'd woken in the hospital remembering only one person-Maureen.
Only Maureen's face and voice remained in his mind; everything else was gone.
As for Wayne? Heather had told him they’d worked together for years.
Wayne drove Geoffrey to Pearl and called for medical staff.
Geoffrey cut him off. “I dislike having strangers around.”
Wayne immediately ended the call.
“Shall I personally care for you then?”
“I said | dislike strangers.”
Geoffrey's voice turned icy
Wayne froze in place.

Mr. Sutton had just classified him as a stranger too.
Geoffrey forbade anyone from staying inside the villa, forcing Wayne to station guards outside as instructed,
ready to assist at any sign of disturbance.
Heather couldn't attend to him personally, embroiled in Corporate Headquarters‘ cutthroat internal power
struggle.
Geoffrey's cousin Edward had allied with veteran shareholders, mobilizing to convene a shareholders’ meeting

Nicholas, advanced in years, found himself willing but unable to intervene.
Moreover, the patriarch refused to let Sutton Group remain under a blind man’s control, leaving Heather isolated
against mounting opposition.
The next day.
At nine in the morning, another bombshell headline exploded: “Geoffrey Blind and Divorce Filing Rejected by
Wife.”
The article depicted the fallen business titan as pitifully scorned by his spouse.
Someone even posted short clips titled “Geoffrey’s Blind, Not Stupid” -
capturing Maureen's exact words.
The comment section exploded with reactions:
“God, Geoffrey's tragic. The golden boy publicly called blind now?”
“Exactly! Who'd know that woman without him?”
“Where's Andrea anyway?
Shouldn't the ‘white moonlight’ rescue her prince charming now?”
The online gossiping and comments were buzzing.
“Long tno see Andrea. Heard she got shelved...”
“No way?
Anyone still thinks Andrea deserves Geoffrey?

Forgot her short clips?”
Someone posted the full video, sparking more reactions.
“Why do | feel sorry for Maureen?
Didn't you hear her?
She filed for divorce before Geoffrey went blind.”
“Right, their divorce lawsuit was trending days ago.”
Katherine saw those comments and defended Maureen with a long rant post.
“You blaming Maureen? Are you blind too?
The Ramirez Family collapsed, yet Geoffrey never helped Maureen. He flirted with Andrea before finalizing their
divorce!”
“Stop judging by looks!
Geoffrey's blindness is tragic, but remember - he’s still a billionaire. Worth your pity? S‘poor abandoned
husband’ like netizens claim?”
“You're eating instant noodles while stressing over a blind billionaire? Dumbasses?”
Katherine's post venting for Maureen unexpectedly blew up.
Countless netizens had epiphanies, realizing they'd wronged Maureen.
The crowd viciously attacked Geoffrey, calling him a bloodsucker who drained the Ramirez Family dry, labeling
him a scumbag who fooled around with celebrities despite being married.
Now that he’s gone blind, he totally deserves it.
Heather tried to suppress news damaging to her son, but rivals kept buying trending topics, deliberately keeping
Geoffrey at the top.
Had Geoffrey been in good health-or even just retained his memory-such vicious rumors would've never spread
online.
Now blind and amnesiac, he couldn't even recall his company’s name, let alone handle corporate affairs.

Geoffrey had been too formidable, making too many enemies. Now that he’d fallen, everyone wanted to stomp
on him.
Sean and Larry wanted to help but found themselves helpless.
Apart from their two families, Geoffrey had crushed every business in Karaville too ruthlessly-except his allies.
Sean hadn't fully taken control of his family yet, otherwise he might've stood a chance.
All he could do was vent his anger on Mr. Long who hit Geoffrey!
State Psychiatric Hospital.
Amidst other patients, Andrea stood in her hospital gown. Seeing the news, she burst into hysterical laughter.
Maureen also saw the news online but paid no mind. For her, living her own life mattered
more.
With divorce impossible and Geoffrey now amnesiac, Maureen decided to go abroad to find Zoe and the two
children.
The day before her departure, James called.
“Reenie, Zoe's in the hospital.”
James's voice sounded unusually heavy.
Maureen's heart clenched. “What happened?”
“The doctor says it's age-related illnesses, plus shadows on her lungs...” James paused. “She might not make it
past Christmas Season...”
Christmas Season was barely two months away.
Maureen swayed, almost collapsing.
“I'll cback immediately.”
James cut in. “Reenie, | can tell Zoe wants to return home.”
Like leaves returning to roots-the older generation never spoke of homesickness, yet it seeped from their every
gesture.

Maureen's throat tightened. “I've failed her completely.”
