Chapter 538
At first, Genevieve wanted to reject him, but when she remembered she still had questions for him, she
agreed. “Let’s go for barbecue. How about that?”
The man responded with an affirmative grunt and walked around the car to get into the front passenger
seat.
Joash had just arrived with the minivan when he saw Bruce getting into Genevieve’s car. With hasty
movements, he got out of the vehicle and asked, “Mr. Gable, why are you in Ms. Rachford’s car?”
“I’m buying her supper to thank her for her help,” Bruce replied. “The minivan will draw unnecessary
attention. Just leave it here.”
Joash touched the back of his head sheepishly. “You’re right.”
Who would‘ve thought Amelia would be so despicable as to drug that glass of red wine? That woman would have had her way with Mr. Gable had I not bumped into Ms. Rachford. He should indeed take her out for supper.
With that, Joash went to look for the valet posted at the front of the club and passed him the minivan’s
key.
Turning around, he was about to get in Genevieve’s car, only to find out they had left.
A few seconds later, he received a text message from Bruce: Take a taxi to Golden Restaurant.
“Oh, come on!” Joash felt sorry for himself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy did he do this to me? We could have gone there in one car!
At the same time, he felt there was something off with Bruce. Since recovering from his leg injury, the
latter had been keeping a distance from all women.
Even when Bruce was on the set, he would pull himself away from all the female actresses every time
a scene was completed.
Why did Mr. Gable interact with Ms. Rachford multiple times when he despises women so much? He even got into her car.
While Joash was hailing a taxi from the sidewalk, a thought popped up in his mind. Is he trying to live off Ms. Racord?
In the past, Cenevieve was a regular of Golden Restaurant, so the restaurant owner would always
reserve a private room for her even if her presence was not expected.
* Me: Rachford,” the restaurant owner greeted Genevieve with a smile, delighted to meet her after not
seeing her for more than iwo months. He then brought them to their private room.
Genevieve sal down and said to the owner, “We would like to have barbecue today. Could you make
the necessary arrangement for us? We’ll have the spicy and non-spicy ones,”
The owner nodded with a smile. “Sure. I’ll get the kitchen to see to it.”
Soon after, a few waiters came in with fruits and drinks.
When Genevieve was about to reach for the drinks, Bruce stood up and served her one instead, He
then proceeded to pour himself a cup.
“Thank you.”
Finding the drink a little too cold for her liking, Genevieve picked a slice of cantaloupe with a fork and
ate it.
She tilted her head and gave the man a curious look. “When we were in the car, I told you that Mrs.
Hossler liked jewelry, but I didn’t mention who this Mrs. Hossler was. How did you know who I was
referring to? And how did you know she hates others giving her jewelry in public?”
When Genevieve requested Jan’s help to contact Paula, she also asked around to find out what the
latter liked. Otherwise, she would not have prepared the jewelry piece for Paula.
How did a minor celebrity like him know about Mrs. Hossler‘s pet peeve when even I don‘t?
The man casually leaned against the chair after serving Genevieve the drink. “The one and only Mrs.
Hossler in the entertainment industry is the wife of Exuberance Group’s CEO, Marlon Hossler,” he
replied in a slightly hoarse voice.
“I attended Mr. Hossler’s charity gala once and shared the same table with another male celebrity,
who’s the boyfriend of Mrs. Hossler’s cousin,” he added.
Genevieve could tell the relationship between Paula’s cousin with the so-called boyfriend was unusual.
“Well, I’m glad you told me about it, or I would have brought in the jewelry piece and given it to Mrs.
Hossler. Not only will the business dealing fail, but she may even blacklist me for that.”
“I’m just telling you what I know, Ms. Rachford.” Bruce smiled faintly. “I should thank you instead. You

Genevieve waved her hands and said casually, “You’re from my company. I can’t just allow someone to
bully my employee. Besides, that female producer is quite despicable for employing such a trick.”
Not only did she force him to obey her, but she also drugged his red wine. That woman is pushing him over the edge,
Bruce look asip of his drink and said, “That producer’s husband was a renowned director in the country.
He had a strong network in showbiz but was not close with Mrs. Hossler, After he passed away hall a
year ago, she inherited all his assets and resources.”
While speaking, the man looked at Genevieve, “Ms. Rachford, I don’t think she’ll let you go easily since
you smashed the bottle on her head… Have I gotten you into trouble?”
Genevieve was unbothered by a person like Amelia, “She doesn’t call the shots in showbiz, so don‘t worry”
Even if Amelia were that powerful, she would not be intimidated by her.

Cooper had vast connections in the business world, so blacklisting a producer would be just a piece of
cake. Besides, since Helt Corporation had Gencvicve Orsi Productions’ back, no one would dare to
step on their toes.

The corner of the man’s lips quirked upward when he heard her response. “Thank you, Ms. Rachford.”
“Don’t mention it,” Genevieve said. At that point, she felt that something was amiss about their
conversation but could not quite put her finger on it.
