Chapter 222
Genevieve feigned a smile and nodded before following Anthony out.
As soon as they got out, she stopped smiling.
“Anthony, did I not make myself clear enough?” Genevieve asked.
Seeing her attitude, Anthony smiled helplessly.
“I have no other intentions. She got hurt because of us, so I feel bad about it. Isn’t it normal for me to visit her?” explained Anthony.
“Since when did the Hoffman family become considerate?” asked Genevieve sarcastically.
Anthony answered seriously, “For you, always.”
Genevieve couldn’t help rolling her eyes and said, “Don’t come here again. You’re not welcome.”
“Really? I think Mrs. Lawrence welcomes me very much. I’ll call her favorite actress over next time,” replied
Anthony.
Anthony could be considerate when he wanted. The gifts he prepared would suit the recipient’s preferences.
Just like this time.
His presence made Monica happier than Darrell’s.
With his memory restored, Anthony was now more amiable. At least when it came to Genevieve, he became more forgiving and patient.
He appeared in front of her time and time again, as always.
His intention was obvious.
However, Genevieve wasn’t moved.
It was the day Lauraine was discharged from the ICU.

Chapter 222
Genevieve was at the hospital, arriving earlier than the Hoffman family.
She went inside, carrying a fruit basket with a smile. The new bodyguard at the door only knew that Anthony was close to her. He didn’t know the situation.
The doctor finished the checkup and left. Genevieve sat on a couch not far away.
She didn’t make a sound, so Lauraine thought no one was there.
Seeing Genevieve smiling at her, Lauraine trembled with fear.
“Why are you here? Tony…” stammered Lauraine.
She covered her chest. She was still very weak, so she didn’t have the strength to speak.
Genevieve went to shut the door and returned with a smile.
“Ms. Hoffman, your brother hasn’t come yet. Don’t worry, I want to have a few words with you,” Genevieve said.
If it hadn’t been for the sudden onset of her illness, Genevieve would’ve felt that Lauraine was no longer the innocent girl she used to be.
There was nothing she could do.
Lauraine’s face was pale and she looked at Genevieve warily.
“You… What do you want to do?” Lauraine asked.
Genevieve looked at her with a smile and a relaxed expression before saying, “I’ve already dealt with Andrea. You’re next. Lauraine, I’ll give you a chance. If you turn yourself in, I’ll let the police handle the rest.”
Attempted murder was still a criminal offense, even if it was done under instigation.
However, the Hoffman family was powerful. Lauraine might not be punished severely.
Still, it would stain their reputation.
Lauraine immediately shook her head and stared at Genevieve with a pale face.

“Dream on. You don’t even have evidence. Why should I turn myself in?” shouted Lauraine.
Genevieve knew she would say that. She smiled and didn’t say anything more.
The bodyguard outside made a sound. She figured Anthony must have arrived.
Genevieve stood up and walked away to the door.
A loud crashing sound rang out just as she arrived at the door. It seemed that something had fallen to the ground.
Anthony pushed the door open and came in just as Genevieve turned around to look.
Lauraine was panting heavily on the bed and said, “Help…”
She had removed the medical instruments from her body.
Genevieve’s eyes turned dark, thinking that Lauraine was indeed not as innocent as she looked.
Anthony looked at Genevieve before turning to Lauraine.
Lauraine looked weak and pitiful. Tears streamed down her face as she said, “Tony, help me…”
She thought Anthony was still the same person who’d grant her requests after losing his memory.
However, Anthony didn’t go in. Instead, he ordered, “Go and call the doctor.”
Then, he made way for Genevieve to go out at the door.
“Tony…” Lauraine couldn’t help but raise her voice. “It’s Genevieve who did this…”
Hearing that, Genevieve paused on her way out.
Anthony’s expression was somewhat complicated and grave.
He pursed his thin lips and looked at Genevieve before saying, “I know it’s not you. We’ll talk later. You can leave
first.”
Genevieve raised her eyebrows. She never thought Anthony would have a clear mind even once.

“I’m here to visit her sincerely. I hope she gets better soon so that I can settle the matter,” said Genevieve.
She left after saying that.
Anthony’s expression was solemn and cold as he walked in. Lauraine was lying on the bed weakly, looking at him with reddened eyes wordlessly.
It seemed that she was blaming him for not trusting her.
Anthony remained silent.
The doctor came in quickly.
Seeing the situation, the doctor didn’t ask anything. The doctor rearranged the instrument before leaving again.
Anthony sat at the bedside, and his bearing immediately turned cold. The look in his eyes was dark, devoid of
emotions.
“Genevieve’s disappearance on the cruise ship. Did you do it?” asked Anthony.
His voice was deep and cold as if encrusted in ice.
Lauraine’s expression changed slightly, and she instantly turned hysterical.
“No! It’s not me! Did Genevieve tell you that? She’s framing me!” shouted Lauraine.
Anthony’s expression was cold as he said, “Lauraine, your wrists tremble every time you lie. You don’t dare to admit you did it, do you?”
Lauraine instantly pressed her trembling wrist as her face turned pale.
“Tony, I really didn’t do it! It wasn’t me!” she denied it through gritted teeth.
Genevieve couldn’t do anything to Lauraine since she had no proof.
Lauraine wasn’t so stupid that she would surrender herself.
Anthony’s expression was tense and dark, eyes cold as he said, “Andrea has exposed everything, and you still deny it?”

When Lauraine heard that, her expression changed instantly.
Lauraine didn’t believe it when Genevieve said just now that she had dealt with Andrea.
However, Anthony said the same thing now.
Her heart kept pounding as if she had fallen into a bottomless pit. Panic and fear engulfed her.
“Still denying it?” berated Anthony.
Lauraine trembled and burst into tears.
She explained, “It was Andrea who instigated me. At that time, I found her and wanted to pull her up, so I untied the rope. I really wanted to pull her up. But Andrea kept saying to let Genevieve go and that no one would know. Genevieve took my Louis away! I hate her! Tony, I really didn’t mean to. Andrea told me to never admit it. She even said…
Anthony’s chest felt heavy as if a big stone was pressing on it.
The disappointment in his eyes was palpable as he watched Lauraine cry uncontrollably.
He didn’t know how the innocent Lauraine turned out like this.
He searched crazily for Genevieve that day on the cruise ship.
Meanwhile, Andrea and Lauraine were trying to kill the person he was searching for desperately.
A cold feeling crept into his bones, leaving Anthony feeling bereft.
He, on the other hand, conveniently forgot everything because of amnesia.
Leaving Genevieve to bear all the consequences.
Genevieve had done nothing wrong.
Anthony’s jaw was tightly clenched, and his eyes were cold.
He felt suffocated when he thought of the hatred and indifference that Genevieve had treated him with all this
time.

Fortunately, she was fine. Still, Lauraine could have killed Genevieve.
This could explain Genevieve’s hatred toward him.
Anthony stood up, expression dark and inscrutable.
