Geoffrey didn’t answer, just stared icy–faced at Andrea on stage.
On stage, Frank kept dropping bombs: “Months ago, I finally tracked you down, but you treated me like some fan.
You even urged me to run over your rival Maureen with my car! When I failed, you called the cops to betray me!
You’re vicious!”
Geoffrey caught his words–Andrea urging Frank to kill Maureen!
If this is true, Andrea’s future should be over.
On stage, Andrea was on the verge of collapse; everything she had worked so hard for was ruined by Frank!
She lost all reason: “You bastard, you deserve to be cheated, why don’t you just die?”
“A man as incompetent and irresponsible as you doesn’t deserve me at all!”
“Do you know this video will ruin me?
Why did I have a ruthless ex like you?
I really misjudged people.”
Tears streaming down, Andrea still managed to shift all the blame to Frank.
Accusing him, she looked helplessly in Geoffrey’s direction.
Online, some fans actually bought into her act.
Typing comments: “If I were Andrea, I wouldn’t admit this ex either, it’s too awful.”
“Yeah, revenge after a breakup is too extreme.”
Although some were distracted, most people can tell right from wrong.

If what Frank said is true, Andrea committed a crime, and there’s a mistress involved.
Who would have thought, she looks innocent and harmless, debuted with a pitiful orphan image, but is actually a scheming woman.
The police who finally arrived stopped the absurdity, but it was too late.
Andrea and Frank were taken away together.
When she got in the car, she sent a text to Geoffrey.
Geoffrey had already returned to his car at that moment. He opened his phone and saw her
message:
“Geoffrey, you owe me again.”
Owe!
With a dark expression, Geoffrey called the PR department. No matter what, this couldn’t damage the Sutton Group’s reputation.
This incident didn’t just affect the company–it hit him personally too.
Andrea had been publicly hyping her relationship with Geoffrey. Now someone had played Andrea’s short clips in public.
As her rumored boyfriend, didn’t that make Geoffrey look like a complete fool?
At the company, Wayne saw the livestream and scrambled for damage control.
But this time wasn’t as smooth as before. He’d threatened many media outlets, yet the
livestream still went viral.
Someone had paid big money under the table!
Meanwhile, Gareth and his friend Lawrence were sharing drinks.
“Long time since we’ve seen Geoffrey stumble. Last time was at his wedding,”
Lawrence chuckled.
Online, Gareth had spent a fortune bribing influencers and media companies in advance–all to get back at Geoffrey,
Gareth took a swig of his drink. “Stop bringing up his wedding.”

Lawrence knew he’d touched Gareth’s Achilles‘ heel again. He shut his mouth and drank quietly.
After a few drinks, he looked out the window: “Such heavy snow.”
That morning it was sleet, but now it was snowing heavily.
Before long, both sides of the street were covered in white snow.
Though Geoffrey was in a bad mood, the sight of the snow made him recall that morning when Maureen, her eyes full of laughter, had talked to him about the snow.
He opened his phone and saw no message from Maureen, thinking she must be with the child.
So he typed: “The snow’s getting heavy. How about we build a snowman later?”
Who would have thought that Geoffrey, who used to hate such meaningless activities, would want to build a snowman?
Time passed minute by minute, and still he hadn’t received her message.
Geoffrey felt inexplicably uneasy, a feeling that had been particularly intense these past few days.
He was just about to call Maureen when the butler from Springwood called.
“Mr. Sutton, something terrible has happened. Ms. Ramirez and the child are missing.”
Geoffrey’s mind went blank.
“Did you send people to look?”
“We’ve searched everywhere. No sign of her.”
Geoffrey clenched his phone, every hope shattering in that instant.
Hanging up, he calmly told the driver: “Drive faster!”
“Yes.”
Before the driver grasped the urgency, Geoffrey shoved him out within a minute.
Geoffrey floored the accelerator, racing toward Springwood like a madman.

En route, he called his bodyguards: “Find Maureen. Now”
“If you fail, you can all drop dead!”
The twenty–minute drive stretched into an eternity.
He kept dialing Maureen’s number. Each call went unanswered.
Geoffrey’s eyes reddened.
At Springwood, he sprinted inside.
A trembling housekeeper handed him a letter and two blood test reports.
Elegant handwriting filled the page:
“Geoffrey, by the time you read this, I’ll be gone from Karaville. Please don’t come after me!
I beg you!”
“We both know there’s no love between us. Why cling to this bitterness?”
“You never loved me. I never hated you for it. Never blamed you.”
