No Mercy, No Forgiveness

“I wouldn’t know.”

Maureen brushed her off.

Elizabeth dropped the act, stung by her coldness: “Maureen, I’m marrying Alex soon. He’ll run the Sutton Family. You should show me more respect, don’t

Maureen set down her work. “I really don’t know about Mrs. Gu’s affairs. Since you’re marrying Alex, I suggest you ask him directly if there’s anything you want to know.”

Elizabeth’s expression tightened.

She had asked Alex before–he seemed gentle on the surface, yet revealed nothing privately.

Even now, she couldn’t fathom why he’d agreed to their engagement.

Finding no answers from Maureen, Elizabeth scanned the room for Alex.

Soon she spotted him.

Alex stood towering over the crowd, wineglass in hand, gaze fixed in one direction.

Elizabeth followed his line of sight–Maureen stood arranging flowers there.

A dark suspicion flickered in Elizabeth’s heart.

Only when Alex looked away did she suppress the absurd thought.

How could Alex possibly fancy Maureen? A hearing–impaired married woman.

Back at family gatherings, Maureen had always been the center of attention.
