It explicitly named the “heiress” as the former eldest daughter of the Ramirez family. The “High Society” label
pointed squarely to Karaville's first family: the Suttons.
The author even included a background photo of Maureen.
The gist of the whole article was that Maureen, as a High Society daughter-in-law, received no care from her
husband or mother-in-law after marriage, only constant criticism.
This eventually caused Maureen to develop a severe illness, forcing her to fake her death and flee abroad.
After recovering and returning, she’s suing Geoffrey for divorce to split their massive fortune.
When this report surfaced, Sutton Group’s stock plummeted to the limit down that day, causing massive online
uproar.
Countless netizens commented:
“I always thought Geoffrey was with Andrea. Had no idea he had a wife.”
“You seriously didn’t know his wife? She's disabled too...”
“Another scumbag in the wild.”
“That woman's no saint either. A nobody demanding property division.”

Every imaginable comment flooded the web.
Katherine was stunned after reading them.
“Which trash media leaked this?
Aren't they scared Geoffrey will kill them?”
She didn’t dare let Maureen see this sensationalized garbage.

“Reenie, staying calm is your top priority now. We're just after the divorce.”
Maureen understood, but how could her heart stay peaceful when old wounds were exposed to the world like
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis?
Heather saw the top breaking news too, finally realizing how far Maureen and Geoffrey had fallen.
Heather lowered her voice: “Reenie, | saw the news. Are you really divorcing Geoff?”
“Yes.”
Maureen admitted.
“Can’t you settle this privately? Why go to court?”
Heather suppressed her anger. “Don’t you understand? Geoff isn’t like you. He's the head of Sutton Group.”
“If he'd settled privately, | wouldn't have sued.”
Heather suddenly grasped Maureen's hand.
“Drop the lawsuit. | won't interfere with your
lives anymore.
I'll accept you back.”
Maureen pulled her hand away, startled. “I'm sorry, | won't withdraw.”
She stood to leave.
Seeing her resolve, Heather clenched her hands.
“Maureen, Geoff built Sutton Group with his own hands. Divorce him if you must, but you'll never get Sutton!”
Now Maureen understood Heather's sudden change.
She feared the lawsuit would split their marital assets-those billions reported online.
Maureen suddenly felt a bit pathetic. Having married into the Sutton Family for so many years, she had never
asked them for anything.
On the contrary, she gave everything she had to Geoffrey.
But in the end, the Sutton family members worried that she coveted the Sutton Family's
assets.

How ridiculous and pathetic!
Maureen turned to look at Heather: “Then it depends on how the court rules.”
She didn’t want money, but she didn’t want to make Heather happy now.
Heather was indeed scared. Watching Maureen leave, she hurriedly called Geoffrey.
Maureen and Geoffrey's marriage had lasted for eight years now.
And in these eight years, the Sutton Group's development exceeded imagination, from a domestic company to a
successful IPO, then becoming one of the world’s top hundred.
If everything of the Sutton Group over the past eight years had to be split with Maureen half, the amount would
be at least billions.
“Geoff, where are you now?”
The call connected, Heather asked eagerly.
“At the company.”
Geoffrey had also seen the news reports and was still having someone investigate who did it.
“I just met Maureen. The reports are correct; she wants our Sutton Family. This woman's appetite is really big.”
Heather's voice trembled with anger.
Geoffrey didn’t believe what his mother said at all.
Nor did he want to talk much with her: “Got it, don’t worry, I'll handle this matter.”
He would never agree to divorce Maureen.
Geoffrey hung up the phone, his gaze shifting to the man sitting nearby in a sharp Italian bespoke suit, his coolly
handsface impassive.
“Tyler, this article wouldn't happen to be
your
handiwork?”
Tyler arched an eyebrow arrogantly. “No.”
Geoffrey withdrew his gaze, remarking idly.
“You've been here a week or two. Not going to see your
ex?”

He still didn’t want to face Maureen in a court battle.
That kind of place was no setting for her.
Besides, he missed Maureen. So badly.
Tyler was sharp, reading Geoffrey's thoughts instantly. “Katherine’s stubborn. Once she decides something, she
won't budge.”
Meaning: even if he went to see her, Katherine wouldn't persuade Maureen to drop the lawsuit.
Geoffrey suddenly decided clever men were overrated. No wonder Katherine dumped him.
After Tyler left, Geoffrey pulled out his phone, scrolling repeatedly through his call history with Maureen.
He wanted to dial but feared she'd hang up immediately.
After a long hesitation, he finally called. Though it wasn’t a video chat, he still straightened his collar before
pressing send.
“Beep-"
Geoffrey's heart leaped.
Finally, the line connected: “What is it?”
The familiar voice filled Geoffrey with an indescribable joy.
