    Although Yvonne felt indignant for her mother and wanted to say it out, she decided to keep it to herself and not tell Chandra about it, since her mother herself begged her.


    Chandra kept trying to prob, whether knowingly or unknowingly, but Yvonne didn''t say anything. Eventually, Chandra stopped asking and took it as her granddaughtering to visit her mother.


    A few days passed.


    Geoffrey was at his desk looking through some documents. As he flipped through the files, he was talking over the phone with a sweet smile on his face. Not even a single word on the document registered in his mind.


    His entire mind was upied by the voice over the phone.


    "We should enjoy some couple time. Which country do you want to travel to?


    "Syd, don''t be so impatient. Calm down. I just want to spend couple time with you outside, hang out at a ce where no one knows us for a few days. If you don''t want that, I''ll handpick the location.


    "Syd, be good. Don''t curse.


    "That settles it, then. I''ll choose the location first. Don''t worry, I won''t force you to go right now. We''ll go for the holiday after a period of time. I''m rather busy as ofte. I''m just calling to remind you."


    "Darling, why are you cursing again? Don''t curse me. You''re cursing me so much, it''s making me sad."


    In contrast to what he said, he was feeling gleeful through and through.


    "Step aside!"


    An angry voice sounded from outside the door.


    "I''m sorry, but you really can''t enter. Chairman Carter is busy right now."N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    "Do you know who I am? If you refuse to let me through, I can bring your chairman down any moment!"


    Geoffrey furrowed his brows, and said over the phone, "Darling, goodbye for now. I have something to attend to."


    With that, he hung up.


    Geoffrey pressed a button on his receiver and said, "Let her in."


    Very soon, the door was opened and X stormed in.


    Geoffrey''s brows knit tighter. He had expected X''s surprise visit.


    He instructed his secretary, "Pour us some coffee."


    "Yes, sir."


    The secretary was about to leave when X said, "No need for that. I''ll leave after a few words with your chairman. I don''t want to stay in this damned ce for long."


    The secretary stood there, feeling awkward.


    Geoffrey sent the secretary away with a wave of his hand. The secretary nodded before leaving, shutting the door behind her.


    Geoffrey remained in his seat, with no intention whatsoever of getting up.


    X approached him. "Chairman Carter, you really know how to put on airs. It was so difficult finding you. You refuse to pick up my calls and reply to my messages. I even had to book an appointment before I could see you."


    This man probably forgot how he became rich. Yet now, he was biting the hand that fed him, making it so tough for her to see him.


    "You''re no longer my wife. Naturally, you can''t reach me as easily as you did before. What''s more, I really have been very busy recently. I don''t have time to entertain guests."


    "Busy? You have time to fool around


    with other women, but no time to answer my calls to talk about our daughter? Geoffrey Carter, at least make up a ssier excuse. Such a shoddy excuse will only expose your ugly side even more."


    Geoffrey sat silent for a while before standing up. He straightened out his suit and walked toward X, his tall figure towering over her.


    "Don''t you already know the kind of man I am? You wanted to marry me, I didn''t force you to. What''s more, I didn''t fool around with Syd over the years. I''ve done as much I could for yout."


    "Geoffrey Carter, I didn''te here to rake up the past with you. I''m here to talk about Vonnie. You know very well what you did to her," X hissed.
