By admin That’s why he couldn’t let Katherine know he’d prepared all the evidence himself.
Even after Jacob left, Katherine still thought his skilled keyboard strokes screamed child prodigy.
In the study.
Katherine dove into the documents Jacob brought.
“Mr. Gareth treats Reenie so well–he’s thought of everything for her.”
Katherine organized every piece of evidence proving Andrea’s plagiarism.
She’d summarize it first, discuss with Maureen in a few days, then sue
Andrea!
The next day.
Maureen kept working diligently at Corporate Giant, occasionally checking their charity projects.
This made Geoffrey even more baffled about why she’d really returned.
Geoffrey was smoking more than before.

When Wayne walked in with the files, the office was thick with smoke.
He felt concerned about Mr. Sutton’s health.
Geoffrey heard movement behind him, stubbed out his cigarette, and his shadowed gaze fixed on Wayne. A buried doubt spilled out:
“What do you think she really wants?”
Wayne froze. By the time he processed it, Geoffrey had already taken the files from his hand.
“Mr. Sutton, could Ms. Ramirez truly have amnesia?
Our investigation found that after she left Karaville, the hospital diagnosed severe memory decline.”
Geoffrey coldly snapped while reviewing the files: “Anyone with basic medical knowledge knows you can’t forget just one person!”
Wayne choked.
He hesitated, then added: “Maybe she doesn’t want to remember you?”
The words struck Geoffrey’s Achilles‘ heel,
He looked up with icy eyes.
“Doesn’t want to?
Why?
!”

Geoffrey felt a tightness in his chest.
He set down the documents and instructed Wayne, “Hire an acting CEO.”
Wayne froze.
“Mr. Sutton? Why the sudden-”
“I’m taking time off,” Geoffrey cut in. “Don’t report routine matters to me.”
Hiring executives was common practice in large corporations.
Yet Wayne stared in disbelief.
Since assuming leadership, Geoffrey had micromanaged everything, sacrificing all personal time for the business.
Now he was voluntarily relinquishing control.
Wayne took a while to process this.
“Understood. I’ll initiate recruitment immediately.”
After Wayne left,
Geoffrey restlessly shuffled through the papers, Maureen’s face haunting his thoughts.
Bitter resentment welled up inside him.
What had all these years of relentless work been for?

All those sleepless nights building wealth–just to fill the void left by the Ramirez Family’s deception. Not merely financial losses, but the utter humiliation.
A few billion meant nothing to Geoffrey!
Yet those billions made him the laughingstock of high society.
The fool who’d climbed the social ladder through a woman, only to be played.
Not only had he lost billions, but he’d been forced to marry a hearing- impaired woman!
But now, what had he gained?
He’d gained Maureen’s deliberate forgetting, and her abandonment…
At these thoughts, Geoffrey tugged his tie loose, deciding to retrieve their child personally.
Then he’d expose Maureen’s fake amnesia to her face!
After that, he’d punish her properly!
Make her learn her lesson!
Geoffrey’s mind wrestled with turmoil until knocks at the door shattered his thoughts.
“Come in.”
The office door swung open from outside.

Maureen stood there in a pale dress, her clear, beautiful eyes locking with Geoffrey’s intense gaze.
Instinctively, Geoffrey straightened his tie with a flick of his wrist, restoring his impeccable appearance.
“Ms. Ramirez, what brings you here?”
Maureen strode in on long, straight legs, placing a document on Geoffrey’s desk.
As she bent over, he drank in the ample view revealed by her neckline.
Geoffrey’s throat tightened as he shifted his gaze away.
But moments later, his eyes returned boldly!
She was his wife–why shouldn’t he look?
After years apart, his wife had grown even more alluring.
Maureen remained unaware of Geoffrey’s stare, never imagining someone as unapproachable as a mountain peak could harbor such hunger.
“Mr. Sutton, I’ve looked into the charity project. Here are some suggestions for you. Please implement them.”
“The top priority is the children with physical disabilities. I want to ensure their education as much as possible…”
Maureen did this partly to have a reason to get close to Geoffrey.
And partly for children who, like herself, were born with disabilities.

She explained her suggestions to Geoffrey one by one.
They stood very close, her faint body fragrance teasing Geoffrey’s
nostrils.
Geoffrey couldn’t help recalling that intoxicating experience years ago.
He wasn’t a man driven by lust. Beyond work, he cared little for anything else, including women.
But since what happened with Maureen, he sometimes dreamed of crushing her into his very being.
“Mr. Sutton, I’m finished.”
Maureen’s voice snapped Geoffrey back to reality.
He averted his gaze: “Just tell the manager in charge about these.”
Only he knew his chest now burned like fire.
And a certain part of him had risen uncontrollably!
“Okay,”
Maureen grumbled inwardly: If that’s the case, why waste time listening to her?
“Mr. Sutton, the project has started. I’d like to invite you to visit those children this afternoon, if possible?”
