Chapter 189 As Anthony spoke, he looked at Genevieve. The chill in his eyes faded, replaced by a hint of gentleness. “Let's go. | have something to tell you.” He grabbed Genevieve’s arm and led her out, fearing she would run off again..
Genevieve didn’t struggle either. After all, she had achieved her goal and had enough of leaving him hanging.
Any more, and it would be unreasonable.
Selene glanced at Abigail and Lauraine, chuckled, and walked out.
Abigail's face burned as if she had been slapped.
She hurried to check on Lauraine.
Lauraine wasn’t much better off.
Although Anthony had told the staff he would settle her bill, she didn’t get those clothes.
Lauraine didn’t believe that Anthony was not qualified to acquire them.
The luxury gifts that Hoffman Group would give clients yearly should have been enough to make them the most esteemed members.
As such, that meant that Anthony simply didn’t want to stand up for her.
Lauraine trembled and wondered if Genevieve had said something to Anthony.
She panicked for a moment but thought that was impossible.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf Genevieve had, Anthony would have cto question her.
“Lauraine, why’s Genevieve with Anthony again? Is this fair to Andrea?” Abigail gritted her teeth in anger. Since she dared not vent in front of Anthony, she could only express her dissatisfaction to Lauraine.
Lauraine’s eyes darkened. Thinking of Andrea, she felt even worse.
She smiled, glanced at Abigail, and said expressionlessly, “If you feel like you've been wronged, Mrs. Thomson, go talk to my brother. Talking towon't help.” Emergency calls onlyR M Chapter 189 With that, she walked out.
Dumbfounded, Abigail stood there as if thad stopped.
D46% D 18:25 FD [e] Genevieve and Anthony walked out, and Selene walked over and took Genevieve’'s arm. “What's going on? Your relationship doesn’t seem right.” Genevieve raised her eyebrows. “What doesn’t seem right? | have many suitors who pursue me.” Selene understood what she meant and smiled.
Once at the door, Genevieve watched the clerks load the gift bags into the car.
Genevieve walked over, glanced at the bags, and took out the dress Lauraine had worn. The rest was given to Selene. “This one has been worn, so don’t take this. Give the rest away.” She casually gave away the clothes as if they were worthless trinkets.
Selene frowned. “What about us? Should | make another order?” Genevieve smiled and said, “You don’t need to worry. I'll take care of it.” She casually threw the dress that Lauraine had worn next to the trash can by the side of the road.
If anyone wanted it, they could take it.
The two were not going to wear it and found it distasteful.
“Okay, then I'll go now. Letknow when you're free.” Selene glanced at Anthony, then chuckled and left.
With Selene taking away the gift bags, Anthony didn’t even bat an eyelid.
He followed them in silence, listening to their conversation with calm indifference.
The driver soon opened the car door.
Genevieve got in, and Anthony followed.
When Lauraine cout, she saw the dr the dress she had worn n next to the trash can.
In an instant, her face turned gloomy.
Emergency calls onlyIMI Chapter 189 She felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation and anger.
She huffed internally, ‘Genevieve... If she can die once, why can’t she die twice?” She tensed all over, and in a fit of anger, she suddenly felt a severe pain in her chest.
The next second, she collapsed to the ground and fainted, 40% 18:25 In the car, Anthony looked at Genevieve meaningfully, his gaze somewhat oppressive, and said steadily, “Did Lauraine offend you?” He could see that the wars between women were much more apparent than those between men.
Genevieve raised her eyebrows and casually looked out the window. “Yes, your sister is someone who seems nice on the outside but is cruel on the inside.” Anthony was silent for a moment.
He suddenly took Genevieve’s hand and deliberately softened his tone. “Then | apologize on her behalf. You're a generous person so don’t bother with her. If she has done anything wrong, I'll take responsibility for it.” After all, Lauraine was his sister, and she had been sick for many years, so she couldn't possibly cause any big trouble.
He thought it must just be spetty quarrels.
Genevieve, however, looked at him fixedly for a while before sneering, “I'm afraid you can’t afford to do so.” Anthony frowned, loosened his collar, and lazily leaned back. He squeezed her hand. “Oh? Then tellhow she - offended you.” His voice was low and nonchalant as if it were just a casual topic.
Genevieve smiled and stopped talking.
She pulled her hand away, hugged his arm, leaned on his shoulder, and put on a brilliant and charming smile.
“Why didn’t you contact me?” Anthony's face stiffened, and he glanced at her subtly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA mixture of anger and helplessness suddenly enveloped his chest. “I didn’t contact you? You blockedand refused to communicate. How could | contact you?” Chapter 189 If she hadn’t reached out to him, he would still be sulking and thinking of solutions in his office.
Genevieve, recognizing that he was sulking like a child, burst into laughter but immediately put on an angry face. “That day, | waited in the cold wind for almost an hour. If you wanted to talk, you should've stood outside my place in the cold wind for an hour too. Otherwise, it wouldn't be sincere.” Anthony cast a darkened glance at her.
He wondered, ‘Doing something that simple and childish is all it takes?” Nonetheless, he suddenly felt a little moved.
He smiled and said calmly, “Okay, I'll remember that.” When there were no conflicts, dating was something pleasant.
This sweet and flirtatious interaction, this feeling of mutual testing, made him feel as if he were basking in the spring breeze.
The two of them dined in a private restaurant.
It was the one Anthony didn’t go to last time.
It was a quaint courtyard with a long corridor leading to it. Exquisite lanterns hung under the bluestone eaves, exuding a warm and gentle atmosphere.
The overlapping shadows of the lanterns and the pleasant fragrance made the place seem like paradise.
Genevieve sat at the table and listened to the sound of running water outside. The atmosphere was nice, allowing one to immerse oneself in the moment and in the eyes of someone before them.
Feeling Anthony's serious gaze, she finally looked at him, and asked, “Why do you keep looking at me?” Anthony's throat tightened, and he pursed his lips. “Tellabout your next step.” Genevieve's heart sank, and her gaze suddenly becsharp.
After a moment of silence, Anthony frowned. “I know you won't give up on TuringTech Innovations’ project so easily. What are you going to do next? Are you just going to drag it out?” Genevieve mused, ‘Oh, he’s talking about the project of TuringTech Innovations.” She was relieved.
Chapter 189 Genevieve lost her composure just now, thinking Anthony had figured something out.
Smiling slightly, she said mysteriously, “Of course | won't drag it out. Mr. Hoffman, why don’t you tellwhat it takes for you to relent? With our current relationship, can’t you do something?” Anthony’s eyes darkened slightly.
He smiled and said, “Our relationship is superficial.” He mused, ‘It’s not profound enough.”
