The next morning, she woke up, washed up, and found breakfast ready in the dining room.
In the past, she’d never had a meal prepared by Geoffrey, not even takeout…
“Wayne bought it. From now on, if you need anything for the house, just tell him.”
Geoffrey walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down, speaking as naturally as before.
Maureen sat in the seat farthest from him, her gaze falling on the trash can beside them, which held the black–and–white photo and the cremation urn.
“Okay.”
Last night, she’d thought long and hard.
As long as Ethan was safe, she could stay here for now. It was the perfect chance to find a way to get Geoffrey’s sperm. Once that was done, she’d figure out how to leave.
Seeing that she was finally not being passive–aggressive, Geoffrey felt
much better.
Maureen sipped her porridge and asked, “About my friend…”

Geoffrey paused, then said coldly, “Andrea’s an artist at Media
Division. You can’t possibly not know Media Division belongs to the Sutton Group. Tell your friend not to post recklessly.”
Maureen’s grip tightened around her spoon.
All this talk was just to protect Andrea.
“My friend wasn’t posting without reason. Andrea’s song plagiarized a composer’s work overseas. She’s that composer’s lawyer,”
Maureen stated.
Geoffrey scoffed: “If she’s a lawyer, she should know exactly what’s appropriate to write.”
His mocking smile stung her nerves.
Unnoticing her tension, he added: “Besides, given her caliber, fighting an international lawsuit against the Sutton Group’s legal department? She’d lose ninety–nine times out of a hundred.”
“Thud!”
Maureen couldn’t take it anymore and slammed down her bowl and chopsticks.
“I’m full.”
She got up and started to leave.
Only then did Geoffrey realize she was angry.

He couldn’t help but stand up, chase after her, and grab Maureen’s
wrist.
“What are you angry about?”
Maureen pulled her hand away: “I’m not angry, Mr. Sutton. You’re absolutely right. It’s because my friend and I weren’t diligent enough in our studies. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been sent to the police station by your people and locked up for a day.”
And she says she’s not angry.
Geoffrey had no choice but to humble himself and explain: “I didn’t know the lawyer Andrea mentioned was your friend.”
Maureen just listened, remaining silent.
For the first time, Geoffrey didn’t know what to do. He could only coax: “Tell me, what can I do to make up for her being locked up?”
“Should I have someone apologize to her?”
Maureen didn’t expect him to say that. Before she could speak, a cough suddenly came from the doorway.
There stood Wayne, looking shocked in the doorway.
The air around Geoffrey instantly turned icy.
“Why haven’t you left yet?”
“Mr. Sutton, I came to see if there was anything else that needed arranging.”

Wayne stood there awkwardly.
Back when Maureen was around, she used to take care of Geoffrey’s daily needs.
Since Maureen left, all the responsibilities fell on Wayne’s shoulders. Only then did he realize how difficult his boss could be in private.
He’d get angry if breakfast arrived too early or too late.
If clothes weren’t arranged exactly as specified, he’d scold someone.
Once, just because the milk wasn’t at the right temperature, he flew into a rage and fired the delivery person.
Many hourly workers quit despite good pay–they simply couldn’t handle interacting with Geoffrey.
As Geoffrey’s personal assistant, Wayne had no choice but to take charge himself.
Doing so made him appreciate Maureen’s incredible patience with Geoffrey’s eccentric demands.
All those years, he’d never heard Geoffrey complain about daily life.
But now, he accidentally overheard their conversation.
It was the first time he’d seen Geoffrey try to soothe someone.
“You don’t need to come anymore.”
Wayne stammered, “Mr. Sutton, I’ll work harder.”

After ninety years of diligent service, would he really be fired over something trivial?
“I meant focus on your core duties. No need to visit Pearl daily.”
Wayne instantly relaxed.
“Yes.”
After saying that, he was about to leave when Geoffrey called him outside.
“How’s the kid?”
“He’s been well–behaved since last night. The nanny over there says he’s very sensible–washes up and changes clothes all by himself.”
Wayne paused, then added, “He also asked when you’d visit him.”
Geoffrey looked troubled: “Head back to the office first.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help coughing violently.
“Mr. Sutton, should I call the private doctor to check on you?”
Wayne noticed Geoffrey looked terribly pale and had been coughing frequently lately.
“No need. I’m fine.”
While speaking, his gaze drifted toward Maureen’s silhouette inside
the room.
Wayne couldn’t resist reminding him, “Mr. Sutton, if you like Ms.
