She was about to say something when a black Lincoln slowly approached from afar.
Maureen recognized the license plate; it was from Sutton Manor.
The car stopped, the door opened, and the secretary beside Heather cout. When she saw the yard full of
snowmen, she paused in surprise.
She withdrew her gaze, looked around, and locked eyes on Maureen and Geoffrey. Seeing Geoffrey actually
building a snowman, she then showed a shocked expression.
However, being well-mannered, she averted her gaze.
“Ms. Ramirez, Geoffrey.”
The secretary walked through the snow: “Madam askedto pick you up. We must prepare for Alex's
engagement party in the next couple of days.
Madam said that for Alex’s wedding, Geoffrey and his wife absolutely must not be absent.”
Though she said this, she didn’t treat Maureen as the Sutton family’s daughter-in-law at all.
“Hmm, got it.”
Geoffrey answered coldly, very annoyed, seemingly because she had disturbed the moment between him and
Maureen.
“Then please get in the car.
The secretary made a gesture of invitation.
Maureen was about to refuse, after all, Zoe was still at hand needed instructions.
Geoffrey spoke first, in a commanding tone: “Out!
We'll go by ourselves!”
Seeing his anger, the secretary quickly agreed and drove off.
Before leaving, she couldn't resist snapping photos of the snowmen filling the yard and sending
them to Heather.

Heather looked puzzled.
Then cthe secretary's text: “The eldest son made all these ”
Building snowmen?

Heather froze mid-bite, disbelief washing over her. How could her once proud son-who’d never stoop to such
things-change so completely after amnesia?
Across the dining table sat Alex and Elizabeth.
Alex wiped his hands with a napkin. “Mom, will big brother and his wife come?”
He'd brought Elizabeth for dinner, specifically asking Heather to invite Geoffrey and Maureen to discuss their
Engagement Party preparations.
Heather snapped back to reality. “Yes, they'll clater.”
Elizabeth chimed in, “Auntie, his wife is Maureen, right?”
At Maureen’s name, Heather's expression darkened. The air grew suffocating.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Heather finally spoke after a long pause: “Yes, it's her.”
Elizabeth's lips curled into an almost imperceptible sneer. “Technically she’s my stepmother’s daughter. As her
sister, | haven't seen her since returning.”
Old foxes shouldn't play innocent.
Heather had investigated Elizabeth's background before allowing her entry-knowing Noelle wouldn't dare suck
her blood, and recognizing Barbara's influence. She'd never accept another useless daughter-in-law like
Maureen.
“You'll meet her soon enough. Have more vegetables.”
Heather smiled without warmth, clearly avoiding Maureen's topic.
Elizabeth had been testing her future mother-in-law’s attitude toward the eldest daughter-in-law. Now she knew
marrying into the Sutton family would grant her control over their financial reins.
After dinner, Alex took Elizabeth for a walk.
When Heather suggested she stay overnight, Elizabeth didn’t decline.

She wanted to see what kind of woman Geoffrey had married.

“Alex,” Elizabeth sighed, “I truly think Geoffrey deserved better. Someone like Maureen could never match him.”
Alex halted mid-step, his expression unreadable as he gazed at her calmly. “You seem to know my sister-in-law
well?”
Sister-in-law,” Elizabeth called out, but the title did nothing to soften her haughty demeanor. Instead, she
prattled on relentlessly.
“I heard from my stepmom about her. As the heiress of the Ramirez Family, she was born hard of hearing. Can't
manage a business, has no special skills-a complete failure.”
Alex hadn't expected to hear Maureen described this way by his own fiancee.
Can't manage a company?
No special skills?
Little did Elizabeth know that the musical score she’d been pulling strings to obtain was effortlessly composed by
Maureen.
As for business? Maureen had already surpassed Elizabeth’s achievements-built on her own merits rather than
relying on her father.
Alex parted his thin lips, his voice still warm yet with an imperceptible chill. “Elizabeth, don’t speak behind
others’ backs, especially elders. | dislike it.”
Elizabeth's face paled, whatever she'd intended to say next dying on her tongue.
Was Alex rejecting her now?
Elders?
Since when did Maureen qualify as an elder?
Spoiled rotten, Elizabeth had never learned to yield. “I only spoke facts. If it offends refrain.”
With that, she turned away in a huff.
Alex didn’t follow.

“Seems like she’s angry.”

Alex took the coat and slipped it on, saying casually: “Lisa, go fetch something for me. I'll text you the address
later.”
“Okay.”
Lisa didn’t ask what it was. After getting the instructions, she went to pick it up.
After she left, Alex picked up his phone and looked at the medicine and message from the pharmacist.
“Mr. Sutton, this medicine works great. Hope you and your fiancee have a fun night tonight.”
