rest. Since he’s here now, why not let him go back and rest?”
Nicholas saw that Geoffrey really couldn't see and didn’t make things difficult. He was about to let him leave
when Edward spoke up from the side, “Aunt, Geoff has managed to cout for once. Let’s all gather and not
rush to leave.”
“Yes, yes, we all want to chat with Geoff.”
Others chimed in agreement.
Heather's expression darkened as she glanced at the old man.
Nicholas rose with his cane: “Dinner comes first, then the family memorial service. Recovery can
wait.”
“Heather, cto my study.”
“Alright.”
Heather knew this meant trouble.
Once she left, everyone dropped formalities, whispering about Geoffrey. Nearby, Alex sipped tea silently,
observing everything with detached coldness.
Edward approached Geoffrey: “Geoff, never thought you'd end up like this?!”
Geoffrey's face turned icy: “Who are you?”
Edward paused, assuming blindness obscured him:
“Edward. Can’t you recognize my voice?”
Edward...

“Brother-in-law, | know you're bitter about losing your sight and company control, but don’t take it out on my
husband.”
“It wasn’t my husband who took your position. If you want to find someone to blame, it should be him ”

trying to trip him up for public humiliation.
“Hey Dad, what are you doing?
Uncle will fall if you do that!”
An unexpected voice piped up-it was Willie.
Edward froze, face stiffening.
Others shot him contemptuous glances, while Geoffrey paused, suddenly understanding.
Kathleen quickly pulled Willie aside, urging him to go play outside.
Geoffrey then asked the butler to find him a seat.
Whispers swirled around him,
pierced by sympathetic, mocking, and contemptuous stares.
Geoffrey's hands clenched unconsciously.
He'd remember everything from today.
Soon enough-
he’d make every single one of them pay.

approached.
“Geoffrey, drink this and apologize. I'll let bygones be bygones.”
Edward swirled the red wine, spat into it, and thrust the glass forward.

Bystanders watched nervously, but none dared intervene.
Geoffrey's hand slowly clenched into a fist, poised to strike-when a familiar voice cut through.
“Geoff, why'd you cback alone? You didn’t wait for me.”
Maureen had just arrived, spotting Geoffrey cornered and humiliated.
Remembering how he’d once helped her, she couldn't stand seeing him bullied-now blind, with memory loss,
and father to two children.
Geoffrey heard Maureen's voice, immediately let go and stood up, putting on a pitiful act as he
walked toward her.
“Reenie, | thought you wouldn't come.”
