Chapter 163
Jeffrey’s face was gloomy and cold.
“Don’t be afraid, Gen. It will be a matter of time before we deal with them,” he said.
Genevieve smiled faintly as she thought, ‘It seems that it wasn’t that scary to tell the truth.
She didn’t hide what had happened in Atharia.
She just didn’t reveal who Louis really was.
Genevieve didn’t think she should ever disclose that piece of information, for fear that it would be used against him.
He saved her life, and she would always be grateful to him.
Samantha sighed. “I always thought Louis was a kind person who would treat you well, but now, I don’t think you two are right for each other. He cares about you, but there’s a major issue with how he shows his love. But, Gen, without him, you wouldn’t be able to return. We should be thankful for that.”
Genevieve nodded.
I
‘Indeed. Louis and I aren’t suited for relationships. I’ll do my best to repay him, but I won’t become romantically involved with him,‘ she thought.
Genevieve spent a week at home recovering.
Her body and mood were slowly improving.
Darrell and Samantha stopped bothering her and began focusing on their own activities.
Genevieve also gradually learned more about the company.
She knew she shouldn’t stay in Eagle Entertainment.
The platform was too limited for her to fully realize her talent.
Darrell and Jeffrey had been discussing that matter lately.
Lawrence Group’s anniversary dinner, which was planned to be canceled three days earlier, was held as scheduled.
Not only was it held, but it was also grand, luxurious, and high–profile.
It was a sensation.
An invitation from Darrell was big.
Besides, not everyone would accept his invitation.
That day, Lawrence Group made a block booking for the entire Walton Hotel.
Under the bright lights, it was almost like a vanity fair, with celebrities and big names gathered.
Some time ago, Darrell suddenly withdrew from everyone and was admitted to the hospital.
Subsequently, Lawrence Group and Hoffman Group also fiercely competed.
Although they went neck–to–neck, everyone understood that Lawrence Group would undoubtedly lose more than Hoffman Group if their rivalry persisted.
Everyone was waiting to see who would fall first.
But Darrell seemed to have turned a corner recently. He appeared at the anniversary dinner in high spirits, looking even more robust than before.
Darrell and Jeffrey were exchanging greetings with the people in the hall, and everyone came over to congratulate them.
Samantha’s identity was no longer a secret, so it was natural for her to greet guests as “Mrs. Lawrence.”
Samantha was wearing a black custom–made off–the–shoulder dress and a beige shawl, looking bright and dignified.
She effortlessly caught the camera’s attention, calmly and elegantly greeting triving socialites.
Quincey and Lauraine walked over, both dressed to the nines.
However,
their appearance and demeanor didn’t stand out among the other noble ladies.
Upon seeing Samantha, Quincey immediately remembered the slap she had given her.
She wouldn’t have gone there if Presley hadn’t insisted on coming.

Quincey went over reluctantly. Before she could muster a friendly smile, Samantha took the initiative and gently held her hand, saying, “Mrs. Hoffman, how wonderful to see you here. What a pleasant surprise! It’s been quite a few days since we last met. You look even more youthful than before. Ms. Hoffman, you’re as stunning as ever, just like your mother!”
Quincey looked at Samantha in shock.
‘Did Samantha realize her mistake and come over to apologize?” she thought.
Upon thinking of that, Quincey knew what she needed to do.
She snorted coldly. “Mrs. Lawrence, you’re flattering me. We can’t be compared to big stars.”
Samantha smiled. “I have some good news to announce today. I hope it won’t be too shocking.”
Quincey frowned. “What good news?”
Samantha smiled brightly with a hint of pride. “It’s just an anniversary dinner. There’s no need for it to be so extravagant. But my daughter has returned, and she’s joining the company. So, tonight’s dinner is held for her.”
Quincey’s face stiffened.
She had wanted Anthony to be with Samantha’s daughter before.
But Samantha had always been indifferent to her, so she didn’t make a move.
Besides, she was quite content with how Andrea had been considerate toward her, so she temporarily set aside
that idea.
She didn’t expect that that day’s dinner party was specially prepared for Genevieve.
‘Although Genevieve can’t be my daughter–in–law, Jeffrey is still single,‘ Quincey thought.
At the thought of that, she smiled. “Mrs. Lawrence, I’m glad you’ve moved forward, everyone was quite upset because of that situation with the bitch some time ago. Now, we still need to focus on our daughters. Look, Lauraine has been by my side since returning from abroad. She doesn’t have a boyfriend. I believe Mr. Lawrence is handsome and talented. We should give young people more opportunities to get to know each other.”
Samantha couldn’t help but chuckle.
She glanced at the shy Lauraine and remarked, “Ms. Hoffman, I thought you liked Louis? Oh, I recall that Mr. Fallon has passed away, so it wouldn’t hurt to consider a replacement.”

Samantha was blunt.
Lauraine’s face turned pale in an instant, and her lips trembled slightly.
‘Louis is dead…” What she had been trying to suppress couldn’t simply be erased from her mind.
Quincey thought that Samantha’s comments were odd, but she couldn’t pinpoint it.
Lauraine wanted everyone to know about her pursuit of Louis.
Quincey thought that Louis was rich and wealthy, so she encouraged Lauraine not to give up.
She didn’t expect that Louis was so short–lived.
Quincey smiled and tried to smooth things over. “You’ve misunderstood. Lauraine just wanted to thank Mr. Fallon for developing a new drug to help her…”
Before she could finish speaking, Samantha was whisked away by other guests who had come to greet her.
Quincey glanced at Lauraine unwillingly and said, “Be proactive later. Mr. Lawrence is much better than Louis!”
Lauraine’s eyes were slightly red, and she lowered her head, unable to speak.
Anthony exuded a strong and commanding presence. His expression was cold, and his eyes were sharp and indifferent.
On such an occasion, he stood tall and handsome, exuding an air of nobility while subtly restraining his impatience.
Many came over to greet him.
He couldn’t quite understand it. ‘It’s just an anniversary dinner. Why all this extravagance?”
Soon, Darrell walked to the front of the stage with a smile.
He said, “Welcome to Lawrence Group’s anniversary dinner, but that’s not the main reason we’re gathered here. tonight. I have an important announcement to make. My daughter has returned. She will soon take over as the president of Lawrence Group. I trust you to look after her. Come forward, Gen…”
Darrell waved down somewhere.
The news shocked everyone present.
Chapter 163
Everyone displayed various expressions on their faces.
Quincey’s heart sank when she heard Darrell shout out Genevieve’s name.
The spotlight focused on the stage.
Genevieve was naturally beautiful, with slightly curly long hair cascading over her shoulders, exuding a gentle
Jura.
She was wearing a haute couture, white off–the–shoulder long dress. Under the shimmering lights, the hemline of the skirt seemed to ripple like water, giving her the appearance of a delicate flower.
She walked to the stage with a smile. The moment she showed up, everyone was shocked.
Everyone knew Anthony’s ex–wife.
