No Mercy No Forgiveness (Maureen) novel Chapter 303

Chapter303

Fortunately, the bed was spacious enough for her to sleep on the edge.

“Mmm.”

Curling up in the corner, Maureen drifted back into deep slumber.

The next morning, her alarm jolted her awake. She opened her eyes to find herself inexplicably nestled in Geoffrey’s arms.

Dawn had broken. Remembering she needed to help Alex prepare for the Engagement Party, Maureen didn’t dwell on it. She quickly freshened up and got ready.

Karaville’s older generation had many traditions for engagement celebrations, demanding a hands- on approach.

Though Maureen held no particular affection for the Sutton family, Alex had always treated her kindly. She wanted to ensure everything went smoothly.

Geoffrey had been awake for some time. Not wanting to embarrass her, he waited until she was downstairs before getting up.

As Maureen reached the foyer, Elizabeth approached with a honeyed smile: “I forgot to ask last night–should I call you sister or sister–in–law?”

Elizabeth’s eyes radiated arrogance: “After all, my stepmother is your birth mother.”

Maureen shot back without hesitation: “If you want to become the Sutton family’s second young mistress, you should call me sister–in–law.”

Elizabeth’s throat tightened.

Ever since witnessing Alex escort Maureen home last night, some primal instinct had made her detest the woman.

“I’d rather call you little sister, since I’m not married into the Sutton family yet.

Elizabeth stepped closer: “Little sister, I’ll need you to accompany me shopping for engagement items today.”

Were it not for Alex, Maureen wouldn’t have spared her a glance.

“Fine. Give me ten minutes.”

Maureen left Elizabeth alone in the living room while she went to freshen up.

Elizabeth made herself at home, admiring how Geoffrey’s residence radiated understated yet luxurious elegance–proof of the Suttons‘ status as Peach County’s most prominent family.

Alex’s quarters seemed downright modest by comparison.

Resentment flickered through Elizabeth: Why should blind Geoffrey deserve such grandeur?

After getting ready, Maureen informed Geoffrey of their plans before leaving with Elizabeth.

A stretched black Lincoln waited at the ancestral estate’s entrance.

The car door opened, and as Maureen was about to get in, she spotted a familiar figure already seated inside.

Elizabeth seized the initiative: “Mom, you’re here.”

Then she turned to Maureen: “Little sister, why aren’t you greeting anyone?”

Though Elizabeth addressed Maureen as “sister,” her eyes glinted with mockery.

Noelle said coldly: “She’s no sister of yours, Elizabeth. Get in now, it’s chilly outside.”

Elizabeth nodded, shooting Maureen a triumphant glance.

“Get in. We’ve still got shopping to do.”

Watching their coordinated performance, Maureen stepped into the car.

During the ride, the atmosphere grew palpably tense.

Noelle held Elizabeth’s hand, admiring the pigeon–egg–sized diamond on her middle finger. “Alex bought this for you, didn’t he?

Absolutely stunning.”

“Mhm.

Alex had it custom–made. He insisted our Engagement Party must be perfect.”

Elizabeth replied smugly.

She then turned to Maureen: “Reenie dear, what ring did Geoff get you when you two got

The ring…

When Maureen had gotten engaged to Geoffrey, his secretary had picked out the diamond before handing it to her.

Back then, she’d been so naive-thrilled for weeks.

Thinking back now, how foolish she’d been.

“Just an ordinary diamond ring.”

Maureen answered.

Noelle sneered from the side: “Geoffrey never liked her back then, why would he care about her?”

“It’s only now that he’s blind, so he’s a little nicer to her.”

Geoffrey was blind, and along the way, Noelle and Elizabeth kept making sarcastic remarks nonstop.

They had forgotten how they used to flatter him when Geoffrey was healthy.

Maureen finally finished shopping with them, and on the way back, Noelle called her aside.

“Reenie, I don’t mean to be harsh, but Geoffrey is blind now, he’s useless.
