No Mercy No Forgiveness (Maureen) novel Chapter 340

Chapter340

Ethan nodded eagerly. “Okay”

He climbed off the hospital bed, dressed himself in his little outfit, and followed Maureen out.

“Mommy.

Is that bad woman locked up for good now?”

He meant Noelle.

Maureen nodded. “Mm–hmm.”

“Good.”

As he spoke, Ethan scanned the surroundings but found no trace of the hidden photographer.

At the Thompson residence.

Following Noelle’s scandal, Raymond’s company stocks plummeted, leaving Raymond scowling all day.

Adrian sat on the sofa, detached, playing computer games.

Raymond found him irritating: “Can’t you get a job?

Living off the family every day–your mother’s in prison now. Want to join her?”

Adrian slammed his mouse on the desk.

“Living off who?

The money you’re using belongs to the Ramirez Family!”

“Mom just got locked up, and you dare disrespect me? Don’t think I won’t make you return every penny!”

Adrian glared fiercely at Raymond.

Raymond flinched under his gaze, averting his eyes.

“I just want you to get your act together. You’re overreacting.”

Raymond feared Adrian because six years prior, Adrian and Noelle had transferred assets to him under one condition:

If Raymond mistreated either, they could reclaim everything instantly.

Adrian sprawled back on the sofa, crossing his legs: “Better be.”

“Find a way to get Mom out quickly. She can’t stand that place.”

Adrian knew only with Noelle present did he hold sway in this household.

“Yeah, I know. Arrangements are made. She’ll be out when things quiet down.”

With money, what can’t you do?

Elizabeth knew Raymond would get Noelle out. After all, she hadn’t married into the Sutton Family yet. If the Suttons backed out citing her stepmother’s crime, that’d be disastrous.

Elizabeth descended the stairs at that moment.

“Dad, Mom wants to see me. I’m heading over.”

When Elizabeth said “Mom,” she meant Barbara. Only Barbara earned that title.

“Alright, go

ahead.”

As Elizabeth left, she shot Adrian a sidelong glance.

Useless parasite. Drained the Ramirez Family dry and now leeching off us. Shameless.

After leaving, Elizabeth took a car to Barbara’s.

Though not her birth mother, Barbara wielded immense influence. The reason Noelle’s assault scandal hadn’t touched Elizabeth? Barbara had suppressed all trending topics.

Barbara’s PR team even spun the narrative–painting Noelle as toxic while portraying Elizabeth’s success as self–made, unaided by any stepmother.

Online, countless voices pitied Elizabeth:

“What did Raymond even see in Noelle?

Barbara’s this powerhouse businesswoman, yet he picks some washed–up dancer with baggage. Now Elizabeth has to clean up her mess–ruining her future prospects.”

At the top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel, an elegant woman stood overlooking all of Karaville.

A cigarette glowed between her fingers, smoke curling into the air.

Her eyes were deep as a millennium–old well, impossible to read.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Knuckles rapped on the door.

She stubbed out the cigarette. “Come in.”

Elizabeth carefully pushed the door open and entered.

“Mom.”

Barbara turned, sharp eyes softening. “Come here.”

Elizabeth approached.

Barbara gently smoothed her daughter’s collar. “How have you been?”

She’d been swamped with overseas projects, but rushed back after hearing about Noelle’s crime.

Before her mother, Elizabeth shrank like a bewildered little rabbit.

“Mom, it’s been very bad. Very bad.”

Barbara’s gaze hardened. “Who dared to wrong my daughter?

Alex?” Her fists clenched.

That reckless fool from the Sutton family–did he think becoming head of the family entitled him to bully her blood?

Elizabeth shook her head fast. “Not him. Alex is good.”

“Then who?”

“I told you before, Maureen, Geoffrey’s wife, my future sister–in–law.”

Elizabeth said.

Hearing the name Maureen, Barbara snorted. “That woman?”

A deaf nobody with no connections, bullying her daughter?

Chapter 340

Her daughter might be adopted, but she’d been raised as her own since childhood, spoiled and headstrong–no one dared mess with her

“Mom, you don’t know how cunning she is She secretly seduced Alex. I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it myself”

Elizabeth sobbed

Barbara instantly saw red.

“Nothing disgusts me more than mistresses!”

She patted Elizabeth’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, Mom will handle this.”

“Okay.”

Elizabeth nodded.

She knew Barbara had methods–unlike Noelle who could be easily manipulated.

“Stop sniveling. My daughter doesn’t act weak.”

“Alright.”

After comforting Elizabeth, Barbara made a call to investigate Maureen.

That same afternoon.

A Lamborghini pulled up slowly at Pearl’s entrance.

Maureen was composing music when her phone rang.

“Get out here.”

She answered to hear two icy words.

Maureen was puzzled. She walked out and saw an unfamiliar car outside the villa.

The car window rolled down, revealing the weathered face of a woman.

Maureen had only seen Barbara once at the Engagement Party. Seeing her again, she recognized her at a glance.

Though not stunning in looks, her elite aura was truly unforgettable.

Maureen walked out: “Barbara.”

Barbara was a bit surprised, not expecting her to remember her.
