No Mercy, No Forgiveness

If Maureen took that hundred million, he’d immediately bring her back to Pearl.

Yet Maureen pushed the check away, countering Andrea:

“Wasn’t it you who asked what price I’d accept to leave Geoffrey?”

“Why are you setting the price yourself now?”

Andrea froze. When had she ever said that?

Maureen continued coldly:

“I’ve told you before–I want nothing to do with your dirty money.”

“When the Ramirez family fell, you who’d benefited from their patronage did nothing. Why pretend kindness now?”

Andrea stared at Maureen in disbelief: “But you were the one who said-”

“Let me make this clear,” Maureen cut in. “Geoffrey and I are still married. Even if he doesn’t love me, I won’t leave him!”

Maureen’s gaze dropped to the phone Andrea had facedown.

She knew Andrea was likely already on the line with Geoffrey.

Andrea realized Maureen had set her up today.

Fuming, Andrea silently ended the call.

Inside the black Cadillac, Geoffrey listened silently to their exchange before ordering his driver, “Go home.”

“You keep saying I’ve changed, right?

So why assume I’d still fall for your tricks like before?”

“Let me tell you–I always knew about your cheap tactics. I just couldn’t be bothered!”
