Chapter 289
She'd thought Noelle might not love her, but at least loved Dad. Now it seemed that wasn’t true at
all...
She picked up her phone and dialed Justin: “Justin, can your people dig into Noelle’s past?
Especially those years around Dad's death.”
Maureen had tried investigating Noelle and the Yin family before, but found too little.
“Okay.”
Justin agreed without hesitation.
Though he'd originally been Gareth’s man, he now worked for Maureen.
Back with Gareth, Justin had plenty of resources. Checking someone's background was easy.
Meanwhile, Adrian tried calling Maureen again to persuade her, but found his number blocked.
“That deaf bitch!
Useless for everything, and | actually called you sister!”
Adrian cursed under his breath.
Suddenly, someone kicked his leg hard.
“Who kicked me?”
Adrian looked up and met Sean's cold, handsface.
“Mr. Robson?
What is this?”
Adrian instantly changed his expression.
“What did you just say about deaf people?”
Sean leaned down, his wicked eyes filled with coldness.

Adrian thought Sean still disliked Maureen like before: “It’s just my cheap sister, she won't even help with a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfavor, Mr. Robson, can you help...”
Before he finished speaking. Sean raised his fist and punched him hard in the face.
Blood cfrom Adrian's mouth, his mouth full of metallic taste.
He quickly crawled back: “Mr. Robson, what is this...”
“Listen, today I'm covering for you, not because of you, this trash, but because of your sister
Maureen!
From now on, watch how you speak, understand?”
Sean lowered his voice.
He truly didn’t expect that Maureen, such a kind person, could have such a beastly, useless brother.
Adrian was taken aback, unable to grasp why Sean-who once detested Maureen-would suddenly speak up for
her.
But he recovered swiftly, stammering: “Got it, got it. She’s my sister. I'll respect her from now on.
Only then did Sean rise, pressing further: “What did you tell Maureen earlier? That Alex would help her if she saw
him?”
Terrified of Sean, Adrian recounted Alex's exact words from their recent meeting.
Sean listened in silence, brows furrowing.
“Alex knows Maureen?”
“Probably. Why else would he say that?” Adrian shrugged, equally clueless.
The Ramirez and Sutton families used to interact.
Adrian vaguely recalled Maureen secretly drafting love letters to Geoffrey in her room-letters he'd torn upon
discovering them.
Sean felt he'd stumbled upon something explosive.
As he prepared to probe deeper, footsteps approached nearby.
“Sean? What're you doing here?”

Sean shot Adrian a warning glare: “Breathe a word of today, and Ill rip your tongue out.”
“Scram!”
Adrian scrambled away like a scalded dog.
Larry, in a straight suit, had already arrived beside Sean: “Why haven't you been going to Chaster Club lately,
but coming to Luxury Nightclub?”
Both Chaster Club and Luxury Nightclub are private clubs in Karaville, both opened by Larry.
“Just happened to cby.”
“Larry, aren’t you going back to be with your wife? Still working at this hour?”
Sean was afraid Larry would ask about Adrian, so he changed the subject.
Although he, Larry, and Geoffrey had a decent relationship, over the years he never really understood Larry,
feeling this man was too complex.
It was better he didn’t know about such matters between a brother-in-law and his sister-in-law.
“Going back now. She’s pregnant lately and has a big temper.”
Larry said leisurely, then took one last look at the fleeing Adrian and got in the car.
As the car drove off, he picked up his phone and called someone at home, his voice gentle: “Since you're
pregnant, be obedient. You wouldn't wantto send you back to Chaster Club to sell, would you?”
After Larry left, Sean didn’t forget to tell Geoffrey about today’s events.
Geoffrey had already returned home. Hearing what Sean said, he leaned back in his chair, his dark eyes filled
with coldness.
After dinner, Maureen, holding her belly, went outside for a walk to aid digestion.
Hearing the footsteps and humming outside, Geoffrey took a coat and walked out.
“What brings you here?”
Maureen found it a bit strange to see him cout.

Geoffrey followed the sound and cstraight to her, draping his coat over her shoulders.
“It’s too cold outside, don’t catch a chill.”
“I'm fine.”
Maureen waved her hand.
She was in a bad mood today because of Adrian, and wanted to ease her mind.
“Then I'll walk with you.”
Geoffrey directly took her hand, which was icy cold.
He couldn't help but frown: “Why is your hand so cold?”
Maureen was about to pull her hand away when Geoffrey added: “Hold my hand, | can’t see.’

She had no choice but to let him hold it, and it seemed like the first tthey had walked hand in
hand like this.
