By admin No Mercy, No Forgiveness Novel Ch 70
Love isn’t about being good or kind.
Even femme fatales have admirers.
Maureen reassured her: “It’s fine. I don’t love him anymore.”
“Mm.” Katherine nodded.
Next morning at nine,
a headline popped up on trending topics.
Andrea, the A–list actress, made a complete fool of herself at the Sutton Family’s 70th Birthday Bash–bullying a child, plagiarizing, and getting disapproved by her future in–laws. She was kicked out of the ancestral home within ten minutes of meeting them.”
The internet was feasting on the drama.
At Entertainment Agency, Andrea ordered her team to bury the trending topics immediately.
But she lacked Sean’s influence, so the scandal remained viral.
Desperate, Andrea contacted Wayne, Geoffrey’s assistant.
After all, this affected Geoffrey’s reputation too.
Corporate Headquarters, CEO’s Office.

Wayne briefed Geoffrey on the news: “Still no action?”
Geoffrey had ignored all previous tabloid claims about his relationship with Andrea.
This time, he merely skimmed the headlines.
“Whoever started this mess cleans it up.”
Wayne understood.
He then placed another file before Geoffrey.
“Our contacts in Country Town uncovered this–Maureen’s complete records from the past four to five years.”
Geoffrey took the documents, flipping through page after page.
As he progressed, a photograph slipped out.
He picked it up: a young boy lying on a hospital bed.
The child’s features were exquisite, particularly those eyes–dark as obsidian, striking yet carrying a noble air.
Geoffrey felt the boy in the photo looked very familiar.
But for a moment, he couldn’t recall where he’d seen him.
Apart from work–related interactions, Geoffrey never remembered people or things unrelated to himself.
Naturally, he’d forgotten about Jacob, whom he’d met only once.

“We found out that over the past few years, Maureen has been living with Gareth, and we also discovered this child.”
Wayne said.
Hearing this, Geoffrey looked at the boy in the photo with mixed feelings.
“Where is the child now?”
“He’s still in Country Town, guarded by Gareth’s people, security is very tight.”
When Wayne first saw the child’s photo, he felt his eyes resembled Geoffrey’s.
But based on the naked eye alone, it was hard to be sure.
“Mr. Sutton, could this child be yours and Ms. Ramirez’s?”
Wayne voiced his doubt.
Geoffrey didn’t answer: “You go out first.”
“Yes.”
After Wayne left, Geoffrey sat alone in the office, repeatedly going through Maureen’s experiences over the years.
As expected, all these years, she’d been with Gareth.
Looking at the photo in the materials of Maureen and Gareth walking side by side, he wished he could set it on fire!

The information Wayne had investigated was still too little.
Especially when it came to that child, there was no useful information beyond that photo.
Geoffrey’s expression turned cold and complex.
Thud!
He threw the documents into the drawer and headed for Maureen’s
office.
From afar, he saw the woman sitting at the computer, working intently.
Geoffrey strode over with his long legs. Without knocking, he pushed the door open.
The noise made Maureen jump. She looked up and saw his stern face.
Remembering this morning’s scandalous news about Andrea, and how Geoffrey had always defended Andrea before.
Maureen instinctively thought Andrea had pinned the blame on her again, and Geoffrey was here to cause trouble for Andrea.
She stood up, taking a step back: “Mr. Sutton, what do you want?”
Geoffrey noted her guarded movements, his mind filled with images of that child.
“Come home with me right now!”
He had no interest in playing along with Maureen’s amnesia act.

But Maureen’s eyes widened with astonishment.
Home?
What home?
Maureen looked up at Geoffrey’s face, sharp and handsome as ever.
“Mr. Sutton, what do you mean?”
Geoffrey’s throat tightened. Without another word, he grabbed Maureen’s wrist and pulled her out.
His pace was frantic, his impatient expression leaving Maureen utterly bewildered.
She could barely keep up.
Dragged all the way to the car, Geoffrey slid into the driver’s seat, his right hand still clamped on Maureen’s wrist.
Maureen had never seen Geoffrey like this. Never.
“Where are you taking me?”
Geoffrey started the car, his thin lips parting: “Pearl!”
Only then did Maureen understand what he meant by going home.
She was still pretending to have amnesia: “Where is Pearl?”
“Mr. Sutton, don’t forget, we’re divorced.”
Geoffrey slammed on the brakes, leaning his whole body toward

Maureen, his eyes slightly reddened: “Where did you see that we’re divorced?”
Maureen was stunned.
The two had previously gone through the divorce process, but due to some reasons and the cooling–off period, it wasn’t completely finalized.
But she had been pretending to be dead for four or five years, so their marriage should have long been invalid.
As if he saw through what Maureen was thinking, Geoffrey sneered.
“My wife has always been missing, not dead.”
