Chapter 100
He never cared about that money or those projects.
Ile just hated being deceived!
Whether in business or elsewhere, this was the first and only time he’d been played for a fool in public!
Maureen saw he wouldn’t answer and didn’t know how to ease his
resentment.
“Beyond this, I truly don’t know how to make you let go of the past.”
Geoffrey noticed her finally falling silent and turned toward her small figure in the seat.
“The Sutton and Ramirez l’amilies‘ agreement ended eight years ago. Projects and money have changed since then–how will you repay?”
“Name your price. I’ll repay you whatever it takes.”
Maureen added immediately.
Geoffrey’s dark pupils glimmered faintly: “Fine. I’ll release you once you’ve repaid every penny.”
Since he set the terms, this debt would never be cleared!
Maureen exhaled in relief.

Now her ties to Geoffrey, beyond their two children, stemmed only from that old agreement between their families.
If she could repay Geoffrey everything, she’d truly owe him nothing.
Finally, the car entered Pearl.
Back here, Maureen felt her stomach churning violently, vomiting intensely in the bathroom.
Geoffrey stood outside, questioning the bodyguard assigned to Maureen.
“Who permitted you to let her drink?”
The bodyguard lowered his head. “Apologies, Mr. Sutton.”
“You have ten minutes to prepare hangover remedies and medication.”
Geoffrey commanded coldly.
“Understood.”
The bodyguard departed immediately.
When Maureen reappeared, she’d freshened up, yet her face remained deathly pale.
In the living room, Geoffrey watched her. “Come here.”
Maureen walked toward him step by step, noticing he’d placed hangover soup and pills on the coffee table.
“Drink these before sleeping.”

Geoffrey stated.
“Alright, thank you.”
Maureen sat down, lifted the bowl, and drained it in one gulp.
Then she swallowed the medicine.
Her headache eased slightly. Sitting upright, she asked Geoffrey earnestly, “How much must I repay you?”
Clearly, the drunken haze hadn’t fully lifted.
Geoffrey’s dark eyes rested lightly on her. After sipping water, he replied:
“I no longer recall the exact wedding dowry your father promised. Start by returning the Dowry given to your family. The Dowry alone totaled at least four to five billion. With inflation, that sum’s value has undoubtedly increased.”
Four to five billion… such an astronomical amount…
Maureen placed her hands on her knees and nodded. “Only fair.”
She looked so docile that Geoffrey suddenly felt bad about taking advantage of her drunken state.
“Didn’t you repay me 100 million before?
I won’t shortchange you. Just repay 8 billion now, minus that 100 million–79 billion.
As for the wedding dowry, since you returned the dowry, I shouldn’t

claim it either.
But regarding that project your father agreed to before he passed–the one your brother and mother sabotaged–I’ll still need to calculate the losses. All right?”
79 billion…
Over the years, Maureen had earned some money, but combined, it probably wouldn’t even reach 900 million.
She’d invested in charity, donating just 200 million.
After making her decision, she resolved to compose more pieces, earn more, and stop funding charity projects entirely.
“Fair enough. Once you calculate the amount, I’ll repay it.”
Facing such an accommodating Maureen, Geoffrey wasn’t happy at all. To truly leave him, she was truly willing to pay such a high price.
Geoffrey thought of something and added, “Let me make this clear upfront: until the debt is fully repaid, you stay put at Pearl.”
“Okay.”
Half an hour later, Maureen returned to her room to rest.
Geoffrey was still in the study.
When Katherine called Maureen and heard she wanted to repay the 7.9 billion dowry, she was stunned.
“How can you repay so much money?

Besides, this money was swindled by your brother and mom, why should you repay it?”
Maureen sat on the balcony, letting the breeze blow on her to clear her
head a bit.
“I talked a lot with him today. He never agreed to let bygones be bygones before, but this time, as long as I repay the money, he promised not to bring up the marriage fraud again…”
Katherine couldn’t help but wonder: “Reenie, why do I feel like he’s tricking you?”
“He’s the president of Sutton Group, how could he be short of that 7.9 billion?
You don’t know, I looked it up, just the rent from Sutton Group’s shops nationwide is at least 60 billion a year.
Not to mention Sutton Group’s other real estate, internet, and all those projects…”
“Haven’t you heard people abroad say Geoffrey’s money is more than some countries“?”
Maureen hadn’t really looked into how much assets Geoffrey had.
Before marriage, she only heard her father say he was a very capable man, she wouldn’t be wronged marrying him, but she worried he might feel wronged.
Therefore, Father agreed to hand over all the Ramirez
