Chapter 180

Can’t take Ethan away, leave Jacob behind?

Maureen knew this was a rare opportunity; if they delayed, she might not be able to take Ethan away later.

It seems I’ll have to take Ethan away first; Sean is mistaken, and once he knows it’s not his child, he’ll surely let him go.

Okay, I’ll remind him more now.

Katherine said.

At Seaside Villa, Katherine was already tired of saying it’s not your

And unluckily for Sean, Albert adored her.

Sean snapped: “Got it. Now get out.”

Katherine hugged Jacob one last time, checking Sean hadn’t hurt him before leaving.

She immediately called Maureen after stepping out.

Maureen got the message and finally relaxed.

Now they just had to wait till tomorrow to leave.

Unbeknownst to her, Geoffrey was currently having someone repurchase the Ramirez ancestral home from Andrea and overseeing the reconstruction of Ramirez Headquarters.

He awaited the completion of all this to surprise her.

Geoffrey even envisioned having another child with Maureen to live a peaceful life.

Yet while one planned for the future, the other planned an escape.

Inside the bedroom.

Maureen packed only a simple bag containing the dolls Ethan and Jacob adored.

She left the gifts Geoffrey bought untouched and didn’t take them.

She called her overseas assistant: “What’s the current balance in the company account?”
