Maureen had no idea Sean was so confident he never planned to take Jacob for testing.
“Reenie, I should be comforting you, not the other way around.”
“It’s fine.”
Maureen replied softly before asking, “By the way, are you staying at a hotel now?”
“Yeah. My dad’s heartless. Said I’d be homeless forever if I refuse the engagement with Sean. I’m job–hunting tomorrow.”
Katherine refused to believe her skills couldn’t land her a job to support herself.
She also worked as outside counsel for Maureen’s company, though the pay was meager.
Spoiled since childhood, she’d saved nothing this time.
“Mhm, actually Sean taking Jacob might be for the best.”
Without Sean taking the boy, both she and Katherine would be in hotels now.
More importantly, her dad might discover she’d hidden a child.
“True. Blessing in disguise.”
They talked for a long time before Maureen hung up.
When she returned to the room, Geoffrey had already emerged from

the study.
“Who were you talking to for so long?”
Maureen hadn’t expected him to speak to her at all today.
“Katherine. We discussed her children.”
Geoffrey stepped closer. “Does Katherine live in Rushham?”
Maureen frowned. “Yes, why?
Haven’t you been there?”
Geoffrey recalled the precise address his tech team had pinpointed after working nonstop–unfortunately located exactly where Katherine resided.
He studied Maureen intently.
“Are you that strapped for cash?”
If she needed money, why reject the settlement agreement he’d arranged?
If not, why would those funds trace back to Katherine?
The White Family shouldn’t possess that level of audacity or capability.
“What are you implying?”
Maureen sensed hidden meaning beneath his words.
“Nothing at all.”
Geoffrey had already dispatched investigators.
This time, they’d turn Katherine’s place upside down to uncover the

Not only Katherine’s private residence, but even Rushham had a large number of people conducting investigations
Fortunately, Jacob had been taken away by Sean, because every servant who took over Katherine’s villa was privately taken away for questioning.
Geoffrey’s deep eyes fixed on Maureen: “How many days left?”
Maureen paused briefly before understanding his meaning.
“Ten days.”
To be precise, excluding today, she had three days before leaving
“I had someone book tickets to Tokyo. We leave tonight.”
Geoffrey said.
Surprise filled Maureen’s eyes: “Now?
When will we return?”
She thought Geoffrey had given up on being actual spouses.
“Day after tomorrow.”
Geoffrey pulled out Maureen’s old travel itinerary–viewing foreign
night views in Tokyo, then visiting locations from her favorite manga artist the next day,
“Alright,”
Returning the day after tomorrow would be perfect.
“I’ll pack.”

“Unnecessary. Everything’s provided there.”
“Mhm.”
Maureen considered informing Gareth, but now it would have to wait until Tokyo.
Thirty minutes later, they boarded the private jet.
Maureen sat beside Geoffrey, gazing at scattered lights beyond the window.
Over three hours into the voyage, perhaps due to pregnancy, she grew drowsy and fell asleep.
Geoffrey, having drunk heavily last night, hadn’t slept well and hadn’t rested today either.
Seeing Maureen sound asleep, his gaze lingered on her serene face.
Wayne noticed this scene when he came over with a blanket.
Geoffrey quickly averted his eyes, took the blanket to cover Maureen, then followed Wayne to another cabin.
“Is everything ready at the hotel?”
Geoffrey asked.
“All arranged.”
After answering, Wayne couldn’t help adding, “Boss, if Ms. Ramirez still insists on leaving ten days from now… will you really let her go?”
Geoffrey arched his eyebrows.
“Of course. I’m not that hung up on her.”
