“A dishwasher and robot vacuum are fine, but no temporary workers. I don’t like strangers in my home.”

Back when she married into the Sutton Family and lived at Pearl, Maureen handled all household matters big and small.

Once when overwhelmed, she’d asked Geoffrey if she could hire temporary help.

He’d replied then, “I dislike strangers at home. You’re already my limit. If you can’t manage Pearl, return to the Ramirez Family.”

Now she realized it wasn’t about disliking strangers at all – he’d just wanted to torment her.

If Geoffrey truly hated having maids or temps at home, how had he managed before?

Did he clean everything himself?

“Okay.”

Geoffrey felt the bank card and frowned in surprise. “I’ll cover the costs.

Maureen ignored him completely, stating:


“This account holds 1.2 million. Every month, I’ll transfer another 1.2 million here.”

“Keep records of every purchase and report the expenses.”

“After all, money doesn’t grow on trees.”

This was precisely what Geoffrey had taught her before.
