Meanwhile, Maureen had arranged things for Zoe and Steven, called Katherine too, telling Jacob she was heading
back to Karaville for a bit.
Then she and Geoffrey took the car back to the old house in Karaville.
Thinking about what Alex said last tthey met, Maureen felt uneasy.
Geoffrey sensed it too and tightened his grip on her hand.
Maureen glanced at him but didn’t pull away.
Night had fallen when they arrived at the Sutton ancestral home.
A servant opened the door: “Young Master, Ms. Ramirez, dinner is ready.”
Geoffrey stared coldly at the maid. “What did
you
call my
wife?”
He distinctly remembered instructing all staff before his amnesia that Maureen was to be addressed as Young
Madam.
The maid immediately lowered her head and corrected herself:
“Young Madam.”
She hadn't forgotten Geoffrey's orders, but with Alex now running the household-and given her history of
targeting Maureen-old habits died hard.
Maureen hadn't expected Geoffrey to defend her. Surprise flickered through her, softening her
view of him.
They walked toward the dining hall together after exiting the car.
Alex and Elizabeth had arrived earlier. Elizabeth’s displeasure from the afternoon’s events still simmered
beneath her composed surface.
Her gaze instantly locked onto Maureen as the couple entered.

The woman before her bore unsettling resemblance to her own features-yet Maureen's eyes held extraordinary
beauty, like limpid pools capturing moonlight, unforgettable at first glance.
Only when Elizabeth noticed the hearing aid did the knot of envy in her chest case slightly.
She stood up: “Brother, sister-in-law.”
Maureen nodded slightly, keeping up with social niceties.
When she arrived, she'd noticed Elizabeth too-exactly like in the videos, her aura uncannily reminiscent of
Noelle.
Alex approached the pair and called to Geoffrey: “Bro.”
Geoffrey had a handsface, but his expression was cold. “Hmm.”
After Maureen helped Geoffrey sit, the dining room tension thickened.
Heather was still calling Roger in his room, urging him home.
In this household, Roger rarely returned unless something major happened.
After hanging up, Heather entered the dining room.
Seeing the four present, she pulled out a chair and sat. “Let's eat.”
During dinner, since Geoffrey was blind, a maid cto serve him food.
Heather watched, displeasure flickering in her eyes. “Maureen, not to criticize, but Geoff is your husband. Since
he can’t see, shouldn't you help him eat before having your own meal?”
Before Maureen could respond, Geoffrey cut in:
“Reenie is my wife, not a servant.”
Heather's throat tightened, words failing her.
This amnesia-it had even altered her son’s temperament.
Elizabeth silently observed Geoffrey defending Maureen, jealousy pricking her heart.
She looked at Alex beside her, picking up sfood and placing it in his bowl. “Alex, you should eat more.”
Alex stared at the extra food in his bowl, a flicker of coldness flashing in his eyes, yet his voice remained gentle.
“Alright, you should eat more too.”

As he spoke, his gaze drilled toward Maureen, then he signaled a maid standing nearby.
The maid promptly cover to pour red wine.
Throughout the meal, each guest was lost in their own thoughts.

Maureen felt something was off today. Her alcohol tolerance wasn’t great, but one glass of wine shouldn't have
knocked her out. Yet her head was spinning.
She assumed it was due to the long car ride carlier and didn’t dwell on it.
Geoffrey had been served the swine. A seasoned player in the business world, he'd seen every trick in the
book.
He quietly poured his wine out.
After dinner, Maureen stood up, preparing to leave with Geoffrey.
Alex rose as well. “The snowstorm’s too heavy out there. Geoffrey, Maureen, letwalk
out.”
Elizabeth stood up to follow, but Alex stopped her: “Elizabeth, wait here for me.
His gentle tone made it hard for her to refuse in front of Heather.
you
Yet resentment simmered inside her-as his future fiancee, she should've been escorted first.
After Alex left, she dug her nails into her palm.
Outside, the snowstorm raged through pitch-black darkness.
Maureen thought Alex would only see them to the door. Holding Geoffrey's sleeve, her vision grew blurry until
she could barely see the path.
She pinched her hand to clear her head.
Geoffrey knew Alex followed them. He grasped Maureen's hand-warm and firm.
Maureen jerked awake and tried to pull away, but Geoffrey tightened his grip, calling to Alex:
“Stop here. Focus on the company instead of wasting effort on this.”
Alex froze mid-step, instantly catching the implication.
Geoffrey had discovered the drugged wine.

“So that’s why there’s no reaction,” Alex shot back sarcastically, “Brother, you're mistaken. What's wrong with
pursuing what's rightfully mine?”
The tension between the two men hung thick in the air.
