“Reenie, you’ve been married to Geoff for over three years without giving him a child.
Do you know how people judge him?
Consider others‘ feelings–don’t be so selfish.”
Selfish..
Maureen laughed bitterly inside. Who was truly selfish?
When she’d been childless before, why hadn’t this woman questioned her own son?
“I’ve said it–take this up with Geoffrey. It’s not that I refuse to leave.”
Heather hadn’t expected such defiance. She marched toward Maureen. “Is this how you speak to your elders?”
Her palm shot toward Maureen’s face-
But Maureen seized her wrist mid–air.
“Compose yourself, Ms. Gu.”
Maureen flung her hand away.
Heather staggered backward. Long after leaving, she couldn’t reconcile this steel–willed woman with the meek daugh-
ter–in–law she’d once known.
After stepping outside, she picked up her phone and called her private secretary.
“Find out what Geoff has been doing lately.”
Though Heather was Geoffrey’s mother, she couldn’t fathom his thoughts.
He claimed not to love Maureen, yet kept her at Pearl.
What was wrong with him?
Lately, she noticed Geoffrey often seemed distracted.
If this continued, other Sutton Family branches would exploit the weakness.
After hanging up, Heather anxiously called Wayne and Geoffrey’s secretaries, fishing for information about him, but learned nothing useful.
Inside the villa.
