The assistant replied.
A small studio?
“Cause trouble for her studio. I want to force it to close.”
With the Thompson family’s current resources, taking action against a foreign studio would be
very easy.
But the information Elizabeth had was all publicly available. She still didn’t know that the songs that made her famous in the country were all composed by Maureen.
Even if Raymond had money, he couldn’t make Maureen’s company go bankrupt.
“Okay.”
Elizabeth wasn’t satisfied yet. “Get a few people together and come with me to Small Town.”
She had been insulted, so how could Maureen remain pure and innocent?
Didn’t Alex like her just because of her surface–level innocence?
On the other side.
Small Town, living room at home.
Geoffrey sat properly upright.
Maureen sat across from him, interrogating: “You said you owe a lot of money. Where’s the IOU?”
Geoffrey knew Alex must have said something when he came over.
“It’s with Wayne. If you want to see it, I’ll call him to bring it over.
“Alex says you actually hold thirty percent controlling shares. You’re not short on money at all,”
Maureen continued.

She just wanted to settle this quickly If he was deceiving her again, she wouldn’t continue this relationship
Geoffiey knew this too “IfI really held that many shares, why would Wayne and I get kicked out of the company?”
“Reenie, my brother may seem gentle on the surface, but he’s scheming. I’ve told you this before.”
“I know him better than you do.”
Maureen didn’t want to hear their verbal sparring: “I need proof.”
Knowing her temperament, Geoffrey picked up his phone and called Wayne.
“Gather all my debt records. Show Mrs. Sutton.”
Wayne, still buried in work, looked baffled. What debt?
Since when did the boss have debts? Others owed Mr. Sutton money.
Mrs. Sutton and the boss were giving him a hard time again.
Although Wayne wasn’t from finance, cooking the books was still easy. He fabricated
astronomical debts for Geoffrey, sending them over after careful review.
Frankly, compared to Geoffrey’s seasoned business acumen, both Maureen and Alex were still
green
Maureen received the debt records and verified each one – they checked out.
But Alex had no reason to deceive her.
“Ma’am, Mr. Sutton will repay this money gradually. Trust him – he built everything overseas single–handedly…”
Geoffrey cleared his throat before Wayne finished: “Enough. Go rest now.”
Wayne immediately bit his tongue.
Maureen handed the documents back
“If you’re lying to me, just wait and see.
This was Wayne’s first time seeing the boss threatened by a woman. He stifled a laugh, shoulders shaking

Geoffrey repeated: “Leave.”
“Right away
”
The moment Wayne exited,
Geoffrey’s voice softened instantly: “I won’t deceive you.”
Without deception, you’d never stay.
He couldn’t bear facing Maureen in court again.
Maureen saw his cooperative attitude and let it go.
“What else did Alex say?”
Geoffrey couldn’t help asking.
“Guess.”
Maureen deliberately teased him.

Geoffrey leaned in, wrapped his arms around her, and murmured slowly by her ear: “Whatever he said, trust me. Nothing will ever make me hurt you again.”
Maureen felt puzzled. Why “again“?
“Mommy, Uncle Alex.”
Ethan’s resentful gaze pierced from upstairs.
The scumbag dad was getting handsy with mommy again when he’d looked away.
Hearing Ethan’s voice, Maureen hastily pushed Geoffrey away.
Her cheeks burned crimson like fire.
Geoffrey’s mood soured at another interruption.
Ethan came downstairs and stood before Maureen: “Mommy, I want a hug too.”
“Okay.”
Maureen scooped him up.
Ethan stuck his tongue out at Geoffrey, pitying his blindness.
