Chapter239
Lisa, in her standard uniform, opened her tablet. “Andrea. Mrs. Potter mentioned her. She used to date the eldest young master, but they fell out. He locked her away in the asylum.”
“Mrs. Potter said you needn’t show her any courtesy.”
So many people and things had passed through Geoffrey’s life over the years.
Lisa served as Alex’s living memo, meticulously noting what Mrs. Potter instructed–and what she hadn’t.
“Got it.”
Alex tossed the photos into the nearby trash bin before striding out of the room.
Andrea waited downstairs, puzzled. Wayne had always been Geoffrey’s shadow–when did this woman replace him?
Soon, Alex emerged with Lisa.
“Alex.”
Andrea shot up from the sofa, residual fear from her asylum imprisonment tightening her throat.
Alex swept an indifferent gaze over her and settled onto the couch.
She vividly remembered his supposed blindness last time–so it truly had been an act.
“Alex, I’m sorry. Since Mrs. Gu released me, I’ve regretted everything. I shouldn’t have deceived you. Can you forgive me?”
Alex instantly understood her plea.
“Apologize to Maureen.”
Andrea froze.
Alex arched an eyebrow. “Well? Unwilling?”

Andrea shook her head frantically. “No! I’ll apologize to–to Reenie right now.
She fumbled for her phone to call Maureen.
“I want you kneeling at her doorstep to beg forgiveness!”
Alex enunciated each word clearly.
kneel–and–beg apology!
Andrea looked at the man before her in disbelief, her fallen hand clenched tight.
If Maureen hadn’t teamed up with Frank to release that livestream, ruining her reputation, she’d never have fallen this low. Now they actually wanted her to kneel–and–beg apology.
But thinking of Geoffrey’s methods, she had no choice: “Fine, I’ll go.”
Andrea didn’t know how she walked out of Pearl.
As she left, Lisa asked in confusion: “Alex, why force her to apologize to Maureen?”
“You and the young master never got along. Now you’re protecting his wife too?”
The moment she finished speaking, she felt needles prick her back.
Alex’s usually gentle gaze turned icy: “Lisa, you wouldn’t understand.”
Lisa knew nothing of Alex and Maureen’s past. For the first time, she didn’t dare press further.
“I’ll send someone to follow Andrea, make sure she apologizes.”
“Hmm.
The two didn’t stay long at Pearl before leaving.
Once they’d gone, Geoffrey and Wayne entered Pearl through the secret tunnel.
Wayne never expected the tunnel the boss had ordered dug would serve this
purpose.
Though Geoffrey had lost his memory, returning to Pearl sparked some instinct–he knew exactly where the confidential files were hidden.
He retrieved them quickly.

On their way back, Geoffrey handed them directly to Wayne.
Wayne was flattered. “Boss, wouldn’t you rather review this yourself?”
“I trust you won’t betray me.”
Geoffrey stated.
“Understood.”
Only then did Wayne dare look at the documents.
Flipping through a few pages, he realized his boss’s personal savings went far beyond surface appearances–Geoffrey held countless assets overseas.
The entire Corporate Giant’s wealth probably paled in comparison…
He hadn’t backed the wrong horse.
“You can resign now and start the new company.”
Geoffrey leaned back in his chair. “I want to give Reenie and my unborn child a grand gift before the birth.”
Wayne had previously suggested founding a new venture, but Geoffrey deemed their capital insufficient. Any new enterprise had to rival Corporate Giant.
“Understood.”
Wayne’s spirits lifted.
He’d helped Geoffrey transform the ordinary Sutton Group into Corporate Giant years ago. Now, founding another company meant he could rebuild Corporate Giant’s equal.
During the drive back, Wayne buzzed with excitement while Geoffrey remained impassive. Launching corporations was routine for him.
Just then, his phone rang. Thinking it was Maureen, his eyes lit up as he answered immediately.
But the joy vanished from his face within seconds.
“Geoff, you must have seen the news these days. Live well with Maureen. If you need anything, call me.

But you mustn’t expose your brother. He’s our family’s pillar now.”
Heather hesitated before finally dialing Geoffrey.
“You know what your grandfather was like. He’d never let a blind man keep leading Sutton Group. This was my only choice.”
No blind man could lead Ramirez, yet everyone feared the sighted Geoffrey. That’s why nobody questioned the imposter’s identity.
Geoffrey listened silently, his expression calm.
Having no memories, he felt nothing toward this biological mother. Her self–righteous abandonment didn’t wound him.
“Don’t worry. I won’t expose him.
Geoffrey paused, his voice turning icy. “But I despise being replaced!”
“I’ll reclaim my identity my way. If necessary. I’ll kill him!
Reenie and I won’t live under false names forever.”
Heather choked up.
“Geoff, how could you say that?
Alex is your own brother.”
“That’s why I said I won’t expose him.”
Before Heather could respond, Geoffrey hung up.
She felt that Geoffrey, after amnesia, disowned his family and was utterly terrifying.
