Maureen’s distraught look sent an inexplicable panic through Geoffrey, who immediately took her back to their residence.

Back at the residence,

Geoffrey draped a coat over her shoulders. “What did you want to ask?”

“Do you have a twin brother?”

Maureen clenched the photo in her hand, not showing it to him directly.

The word “brother” made Geoffrey’s expression instantly turn icy.

He released his grip on Maureen’s arm. “Yes.”

Maureen pressed.

Geoffrey’s lips pressed into a thin line, frosty eyes filled with anger. “You came to the banquet just to ask this?”

Maureen met his gaze steadily.

A cold smirk twisted Geoffrey’s lips as his words cut like knives
