Chapter 237
Selene called in the evening about something urgent.
Thus, Genevieve directly met with Selene.
As Selene was staying in a relatively remote hotel, Genevieve repeatedly checked before entering.
Then, Selene opened the door, looking terrible.
Genevieve was startled and asked, “What happened? Why are you here?”
Selene hugged her and cried.
Genevieve comforted Selene for a while before the latter finally said, “My mother signed a bet–on agreement. It looks like she lost and owed a lot of money. My family is bankrupt!”
Then, Genevieve asked with surprise, “Why haven’t I heard about it at all?”
Selene sobbed, “I only knew about it last night. Loan sharks have been searching for my mother at home, so she hides here. She went out early this morning to get money.”
Anxious and shocked, Genevieve still wondered why she did not know about it.
She then comforted Selene, “Don’t panic. I will investigate this matter right away. You can stay at my place first. I
can give you all the money you need.”
When Selene heard Genevieve’s words, she felt slightly relieved.
Genevieve called Jasper and told him to investigate the Quinn family’s matter and Lorelai’s current location.
After Selene washed her face, she said awkwardly, “I’ve never stayed in such a shabby–looking hotel before. It has bad soundproofing, and the old couple next door has been screaming so loud.”
She did not mention that the woman’s voice was slightly familiar.
Genevieve was speechless and felt awkward. After all, this kind of hotel was only suitable for people having an affair and not for Selene, who had lived a luxurious life since childhood.

Thus, she knew Selene suffered after staying there.
“Well, let’s eat something. Then, we can go back to my place so that you can rest,” Genevieve said.
Selene nodded and went out with Genevieve.
The couple in the next room walked out of their room at the same time.
Genevieve subconsciously looked back, and the woman’s expression changed subtly.
The woman covered herself well and even wore a mask and sunglasses.
It made Genevieve wonder why a woman with a Hermes scarf and bag would be there.
Meanwhile, the man was about to walk out when the woman pushed him in.

Genevieve merely glanced at them briefly. Then, she took Selene’s arm and comforted the latter softly, “You still
have me. Don’t worry.”
She did not seem to notice anything.
The woman behind slowly breathed a sigh of relief. However, she still stood there in shock.
She even felt that her legs went weak.
“What’s the matter?” Edmund’s voice was heard.
“I just saw Genevieve,” Quincey said in a low voice.
Edmund frowned before saying cautiously, “Isn’t she the woman in Anthony’s ward? Did she recognize you?”
Quincey, feeling unsure, shook her head.
Edmund breathed a sigh of relief before saying, “If she recognizes you, she will definitely not let you go because you two don’t get along. Don’t worry. When can you get the money? I don’t know why the loan sharks came to find me again. They even forced me to pay the debt today. If I refuse, I will die!”
Hearing this, Quincey patted his chest smugly.

“Don’t worry. You won’t die. I will get the money for you,” she said.
Edmund kissed Quincey hard. Although she was already old, she still had her charm.
“Luckily I have you, dear!” he said.
Quincey smiled shyly and then left through the back door, heading straight for Hoffman Group.
However, she did not get what she wanted.
The finance department did not transfer the money to her as usual.
Thus, Quincey was so angry that she made a scene, and the top management instructed the security guard to deal with her.
Quincey wanted to see Anthony. However, she was told that Anthony had not been discharged from the hospital and Louis had been taking over Anthony’s position.
She called Anthony on the way to the hospital.
When Anthony answered the call, Quincey asked aggressively, “What’s going on with the company? Why is Louis taking over your position? Also, why can’t the finance department transfer money to me? I need some money
now. Transfer 10 million dollars to me right away.”
There was a lingering coldness in Anthony’s green eyes.
However, his voice remained indifferent as he said, “I have no choice as Dad decided it. I can’t take out my money as well. If you need money, you can ask Dad.”
Quincey was at a loss for words. Then, she asked, “Don’t you have 10 million dollars?”
“I don’t,” Anthony replied before hanging up the phone.
Quincey’s face turned pale with anger.
‘I only have a few hundred thousand dollars. How can I ask Presley for 10 million dollars? If he finds out that the money is for Edmund to pay the loan sharks, he will kill me,’ she thought.
When she arrived at the hospital, she learned that Anthony had already been discharged. She called him again,

but he did not answer her call anymore..
Quincey became slightly flustered.
‘Did Genevieve say something to Anthony? Did he find out something was amiss, so he stopped giving me money?” she wondered.
While Quincey was getting worried, Edmund called repeatedly. However, she did not dare to answer his calls.
Thus, Edmund sent her a message.
He texted: [Where’s the money? The loan sharks are here. Come here quickly. I’m going to die soon, so I might just tell others about us.]
Quincey’s arms trembled a little. She did not want anything bad to happen to Edmund, so she took a taxi to his place.
Even though the loan sharks knew his house, Edmund did not move to another place as he thought he could pay
their money.
Quincey got out of the taxi and saw more than a dozen burly men in black standing at the door. Her face turned pale with fear, and she immediately went back inside the taxi.
“Let’s go. Hurry up,” she urged.
She knew that if she walked there without any plan, they would have something on her.
Thus, when Edmund called Quincey, she turned off her phone and threw it aside.
That night, Daniel went to the hospital.
“Edmund ran away. Our men watched him buy a ticket and leave,” he said.
They had no interest in knowing the place Edmund went to.
Anthony nodded.
Daniel then said, “Quinn Group is in debt because it was tricked into investing in a project for a short sale. On the surface, the project is good, but it’s actually a scam. Mrs. Quinn probably fell for it. This may be the end for Quinn

Group.”
Anthony frowned slightly and pondered before asking, “What project?”
“It’s a project that the southern region is collaborating with Wildefield Street. I heard that the Campbell family also participated in it. Aiden knew it wasn’t good, so he didn’t invest much, but Mrs. Quinn invested a lot,” Daniel answered. Then, he frowned before adding, “Mr. Hoffman, Louis might be the one behind Wildefield Street.”
As Louis covered his actions well, they did not manage to find anything.
Daniel wondered if Anthony could put up with Louis and his continuous plans.
Then, Daniel received a message. His expression changed after reading it.
“Mrs. Quinn jumped off a building,” he said.
