Crucially, outsiders knew the Ramirezes’ only son Adrian was good- for-nothing.
Marrying Maureen meant the Ramirez empire would bechis for the taking
Later events unfolded exactly as predicted: Geoffrey easily acquired the Ramirez assets.
But Maureen knew Geoffrey hadn't relied on being a son-in-law. He'd used his own prowess.
She pushed the documents back toward him.
“What's the meaning of this?”
Geoffrey slightly furrowed his handsbrows: “Isn't this exactly what you wanted?”
Apart from this, he truly couldn't fathom Maureen’s sudden return to the country.
Maureen froze.
Before she could regain her composure, Geoffrey continued: “After all these years, you should've vented enough
anger. Sign the papers, and let bygones be bygones.”
Hearing this, Maureen suddenly found Geoffrey utterly ridiculous.
After everything they’d been through, he actually thought she was merely throwing a tantrum.”

Maureen clenched the agreement, walked straight to the shredder, fed it in, and watched it disintegrate into
scraps.
“I'm telling you seriously now: there's no ‘let bygones be bygones.’ | just don’t want to be with you anymore.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPretending to still care when she’d already given up was exhausting.
Maureen now burned to take Ethan and vanish from Karaville forever.
Wayne nearby looked stunned, not daring to stay another second. He bolted from the office, considerately
shutting the door behind him.
Geoffrey had assumed his “mercy” in returning the Ramirez Family would bring her joyous gratitude.
He never imagined this outcome.
Cold mockery filled his piercing eyes: “Say that again!”
“No matter what you say, it’s the same. There are still eleven days left.”
Maureen paused. “Eleven days from now, | hope you'll keep your promise.”
Keep the promise to let Ethan and herself go.
Geoffrey's patience vanished instantly. “Fine! Just perfect!”
He stepped closer, backing Maureen into a corner before scooping her
up.
“Since it’s only eleven days, shouldn't | enjoy our last moments as husband and wife?”

Suspended in his arms, she clung to him to avoid falling.
“This is the office!”
“Didn’t you seducehere before?”
Geoffrey's Adam's apple bobbed. “Let's try something new today. Wonder if you've done this with Gareth!”
Maureen didn’t understand.
Then all curtains descended, leaving only dim yellow light in the
room.
At first confused, Maureen soon realized his intent. Trembling, she shoved against him.
Geoffrey leaned down to kiss her.
Suddenly, Maureen felt nauseous, her stomach churning violently.
She struggled free, bolting to the bathroom as vomit surged out.
Outside, Geoffrey listened to the retching sounds, his face thunderous.
Does she really despisethis much?
Alex lit one cigarette after another, only to crush them out in frustration.
He was about to head to the bathroom to ask Maureen what exactly she found so repulsive about him
when a knock cat the door.
“Cin.”
Wayne entered, visibly awkward at the sight of Geoffrey's unsatisfied

scowl.
“Boss, these documents require your signature.”
“Leave them.”
Before leaving, Wayne glanced toward the bathroom and ventured, “Sir, maybe your approach is wrong?
Should | tell Ms. Ramirez you're already rebuilding the Ramirez headquarters?”
Demolishing and rebuilding-only a weirdo like Geoffrey would do such a thing.
But then again, who could stop a man with his wealth?
Desperate to please a woman, yet utterly inept with words.
Geoffrey recalled Maureen’s disgusted look and retching sounds, his agitation mounting.
“Shut up!
Get out!”
“Right away.”
Wayne hastily retreated.
As the door closed, the bathroom faucet stopped running. Maureen emerged, her eyes still red.
Geoffrey unconsciously stubbed out the cigarette in his hand.
He thought Maureen would cout crying and screaming, or slap him like before.
