NovelGold“A dishwasher and robot vacuum are fine, but no temporary workers. | 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.”
Again, just that single word.
Hearing this, Maureen took out a card and placed it beside Geoffrey's hand.
“The PIN is 247967."
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.
Maureen had been married to Geoffrey for a month when he had Wayne hand her a bank card. The amount was
neither too much nor too little-exactly 1.2 million yuan.

Years ago, Wayne had said: “This is 1.2 million-Mr. Sutton’s monthly allowance for you.
He made it clear his money doesn’t grow on trees. Keep receipts and report every expense.
When Maureen agreed to let Geoffrey live with her, she'd already decided to repay him for every humiliation
she'd endured from the Sutton family.
She'd make him taste his own medicine-and maybe jog his memory along the way,
For any man, having a woman control his spending and demand accountability would wound his pride.
Especially for someone as image-obsessed as Geoffrey.
Yet now, Geoffrey took the card without protest. The corners of his lips even twitched faintly: “Reenie, just tell me
what you need. I'll buy it for you.”
Maureen froze.
“No need.”
Let’s see how long you can keep up the act.
She retreated to her bedroom.
Shortly after she left, Wayne arrived and began cleaning diligently.
He'd heard about the shareholder meeting-still reeling from the shock.
No wonder Heather had abruptly informed him two days prior: You're fired. No need to cback to Sutton
Group.
Heather was truly ruthless, even toward her own son, Mr. Sutton.
Wayne finished cleaning and washing the dishes.
Geoffrey called him to the car outside and suddenly handed him a card.
“Boss, what's this?”
Geoffrey's lips curved at the corners. “Reenie gavemoney to buy a dishwasher and a robot
vacuum.”
Wayne looked puzzled as Geoffrey continued, his tone hinting at delight. “She must've worried I'm broke.
Remember when | offered her my gold card? She refused it.”

Earlier that noon, when Reenie learned someone had stolen his identity, she couldn't hide her
concern.
By evening, she handed him this card.
She probably assumed he’d lost both his status and wealth.
Hearing his boss’s words, Wayne wondered if Geoffrey had misunderstood the situation.
“Boss, how much did Mrs. Sutton give you?”
“One point two million,” Geoffrey replied. “She said she’ll givethis amount monthly.”
One point two million... Why did that number sound so familiar?
Wayne suddenly recalled-wasn’t this the exact sum Geoffrey used to transfer monthly to Maureen for living
expenses?
Maureen was paying him back.
Thankfully, his boss misinterpreted her intentions. Otherwise, Geoffrey would be heartbroken.
“Keep this card safe, don’t touch the money inside, and have someone buy a robot vacuum and dishwasher.
Remember to report back.”
“Yes.”
Wayne agreed.
He clenched the hot card in his hand, thinking if the boss ever regained his memory, wouldn't he drop dead from
anger?
After arranging these matters, Geoffrey began asking about the company’s recent developments.
Alex had taken Geoffrey's position, and Wayne along with several secretaries and assistants familiar with
Geoffrey had been fired.
Geoffrey's wealth far exceeded the rumored billions, so Wayne wasn’t worried about losing his incwhile
following him now.
Wayne shared everything he knew, including Geoffrey's overseas influence.

“Boss, this is all I'm aware of. The rest... we'll have to wait for your memory to return”
Geoffrey's background wasn’t nearly as simple as it appeared on the surface. Many things even Wayne didn’t
know.
“Find a job for now. When you chere later, be careful not to get spotted.”
Geoffrey instructed.
“Yes.”
Early next morning when Maureen woke up, Geoffrey had already risen.
She saw breakfast set on the table, along with the newly purchased robot vacuum and dishwasher-all installed-
and the receipt placed on the table.
Maureen didn’t expect Geoffrey to have bought everything so quickly and even prepared breakfast.
