Geoffrey felt that the sofa in the drawing room was not a fitting venue for what he has planned on doing to Serena that night. Although he was decided, he did not want her to find out what he did just yet. He knew she won't publicly announce it, but he has no guarantee that she won't alert Charlton, who he wanted to catch off guard, and her family, who were still somewhat useful.
He knew that Charlton's current influence and power as the Marquis of Suffox was nothing to scoff at. Charlton has many people on his side. When it comes to politics, he knew that he could turn those people who admires him against him, for which human do not feel any sense of jealousy nor envy? However, his main concern was grand duke Charles who was also a war hero. If he wants to take Charlton down, he must take care of that deep rooted tree first.
