Chapter 191
“My client stated that if you refuse, it proves you don’t care about the money. The past stays buried either way.”
Thomas lowered his voice. “I trust you won’t use this to morally blackmail Maureen anymore.”
“Remember–it’s you who refused, not her failing to repay.”
Having watched Maureen grow up, Thomas had yearned to vent her grievances.
He braced for expulsion, but Geoffrey merely stated, “Rest assured. This ends now.”
Thomas stood stunned.
Geoffrey remained ice–cold, fully aware of Maureen’s resolve–she’d pay any price to erase him from her life.
After Thomas left, Geoffrey asked Wayne.
“If someone who likes you changes their heart, what would you do?”
Wayne instantly thought of his girlfriend: “If she fell for another man, I’d make her regret it.”
Yeah!
Regret!
Geoffrey pinched the bridge of his nose: “Let’s go to the airport.”
He was going to find Maureen!
Wayne knew he couldn’t stop him, so he didn’t try, simply following along.
Metro Center Harbor.
After resting for a day, Katherine was about to leave.

Maureen alone saw her off at the airport, waving goodbye.
On her way back, she received a call from Gareth
“Reenie, you need to move again. Geoffrey is coming.
Maureen froze in place.
She thought if Geoffrey found her, it’d take months or longer–not now.
“Gareth, could you first help me take Zoe and the two kids away?”
Gareth sounded puzzled: “You’re not leaving?”
“I’m tired of running.”
Maureen faced the sea breeze, her voice raspy. “The world isn’t that big. If Geoffrey never gives up, he’ll find us sooner or later.”
During those years abroad, he had never stopped searching for her
Every time he got close, Maureen and the others had to relocate–it was exhausting.
“I want to make things clear with him. There’s no future for us.
Maureen said.
Gareth fell silent for a moment
“I’m coming right now. If he dares force you, I’ll make him disappear!”
Before Maureen could respond, he hung up.
Overseas wasn’t Karaville–not Geoffrey’s turf.
An hour later, Zoe and the two children would leave.
Steven and Roy sensibly didn’t ask why. After all these years hopping between countries, they’d grown used to it.
Only Zoe’s health worsened daily. Who knew how much longer she could endure the strain?
Maureen’s heart ached as she hugged her. “Zoe, you’ve been through so much.”
“Silly girl, this old woman’s just getting old. Being with you kids isn’t hard at all.”

Zoe chuckled.
She turned and got into the car.
Maureen watched them drive away. Alone in the house she’d barely settled into, the emptiness felt especially desolate.
Night fell.
Maureen sat wrapped in a blanket on the sofa.
BANG!
The door was kicked open from outside.
She looked up to see Geoffrey standing there flanked by bodyguards.
Geoffrey stood at the door, looking at the all–too–familiar person inside. Though only about
half a month had passed since they last met, it felt like an eternity.
The bodyguards left first and stood outside.
Geoffrey walked in, and the air pressure in the room seemed to drop.
“I thought I made myself very

clear.”
Geoffrey came to stand before her, backlit, making his expression hard to see.
He didn’t say a word, just stared deeply at Maureen, not looking away for a moment.
Uncomfortable with his gaze, Maureen took a step back.
“Thomas has given you the money, right?
We’re over.”
Geoffrey still didn’t speak, his deep eyes filled with her image. He slowly raised his hand, but before it could rest on Maureen’s shoulder, she retreated several steps, avoiding him.
Maureen took a deep breath: “What do you want?”
Geoffrey’s raised hand froze in mid–air. His thin lips parted as he spoke word by word:

“Home?”
Maureen laughed mockingly, “What home?
