But later, Geoffrey gained nothing.

Back then, Maureen thought he desperately needed money, so she secretly used her personal savings to support minor projects under the Sutton Group.

Later, she noticed Geoffrey entering venues even her father couldn’t access, and slowly realized he never needed her help…

At the time, she merely thought his company was thriving, unaware of his true influence.

Only now, hearing Katherine speak of him, did she finally understand why Geoffrey once called himself an indis- pensable cash cow…

Seeing Maureen remain silent, Katherine added, “Even if he didn’t scheme against you, where would you get that much money?”

“I’ve saved some over the years. In a few more, I should be able to repay it all.”

Maureen paused thoughtfully.

Katherine sighed, “That man is damn ruthless. Why demand such an impossible sum just to leave you and Steven alone?”

“Has he forgotten how he mistreated you after marriage?

You should sue him for emotional damages!”

“And child support!”

Maureen chuckled wryly, “If I demand child support, wouldn’t that reveal Steven’s existence?”

“That’s true.

He’s got us by the throat. Our only way out is to hustle and write a chart–topping hit!”

“Yeah.”

Katherine suddenly remembered something. “Reenie, why not ask Mr. Burke for help?

7.9 billion is pocket change for him, right?”

Maureen refused without hesitation.

“Gareth’s done enough. We’re friends, but I won’t keep taking handouts.”

“Alright.”
