MainNovelShe could only wait till he cback in the morning.
She thought she’d spend another night alone.
To her surprise, he cback at midnight.
She was still awake. Stepping forward, she skillfully took his suit jacket and briefcase.
They looked just like an ordinary couple.
“Don’t textagain.”
His cold voice sounded, shattering the moment's peace.
Hanging the suit jacket, her hands trembled. Then she murmured, “Alright. | won't.”
Not sensing anything wrong, he went straight to the study.
Over the years, whenever he cback, he had mostly spent his talone in the study.
Perhaps to him, everything in the world of those with hearing impairment was quiet.
Or perhaps he simply didn’t care about her.
That was why he was calmly proceeding with his business in the study as usual, even though it was about
acquiring the Ramirez Group.
Maureen brought him soup, which was a routine. Listening to him discuss with his subordinates about acquiring
her father’s company, she was overcwith indescribable emotions.
She knew her brother was useless, and it was only a matter of tbefore the Ramirez Group was acquired. But
it never once occurred to her that the one to make the first move would be her own husband.
“Geoff,” a voice interrupted Geoffrey.
He was momentarily stunned. Whether out of guilt or something else, he quickly ended the voice call and

Pretending that she didn’t see anything, Maureen entered the study and placed the soup on the desk.
“Geoff, rest early after you finish the soup. Nothing beats your health.”

Looking at his face, which was nothing but familiar, she asked gently, “Do you have tthis morning? Could
you cwithto get a divorce?”
Maureen's voice was so calm.
It was as if she were talking about the weather instead of divorcing Geoffrey.
Geoffrey's pupils shrank.
“What did you say?”
Over the past three years, no matter how outrageous he was, Maureen had never mentioned the word “divorce”.
In fact, he knew very well how much she loved him.
Maureen's originally hollow eyes were filled with lucid clarity.
“Mr. Sutton, I'm sorry for holding you back these years.
“Let’s get a divorce.”
Geoffrey unconsciously clenched his hands on both sides.
“You overheard my conversation with my subordinates, didn’t you? Your family is on the brink of collapse. Since
someone is going to take over, why can’t it be me?
“What is it that you want? A child? Money? Or do you wantto call off the acquisition of the Ramirez Group?
“In case you've forgotten, Maureen-I never loved you. Your threats are useless.”

Not in a habit of controlling his emotions for the sake of others, he flipped the desk over.
The soup Maureen made spilled all over the floor...
After entering her room, Maureen forced down handfuls of pills.
She felt behind her ear, and her fingers were stained with bright red blood.
