Chapter 341
Bill immediately had someone take Robbin to the hospital.
The aftermath here was naturally handled by others.
Genevieve, who wasn’t in life–threatening danger, was overlooked by everyone.
She was lucky just to have survived.
What more could she ask for?
She glanced at Carrie’s lifeless body on the ground..
Here, it seemed, lives weren’t valued much, and that life and death were taken lightly.
She felt a chill spread through her body, coldness enveloping her.
Leaning against the wall in the corridor, she slowly slid down, her legs giving out.
Just as she was about to collapse, a force from behind caught her.
She smelled a familiar fragrance enveloping her, warm and comforting despite its usual indifference.
At this moment, she didn’t find it as repulsive as before but rather comforting.
At least here, she wasn’t alone here.
In a foreign land, she had an acquaintance, Anthony, her ex–husband.
Her lips were pale as she managed to speak, “How did you come back so soon?”
Anthony frowned, his expression stern, and he glanced at her. “If I hadn’t come back, were you really going to get engaged to that pretty boy?”
Even now, that was his focus?
Genevieve wanted to laugh but couldn’t.

His strong hand remained on her waist, radiating continuous warmth.
Gradually, Genevieve regained her composure and strength, steadying herself against the wall.
“No need for an engagement now. They’re all dead.”
Anthony sighed in relief.
Genevieve felt a void within her. With Carrie dead, what would happen to Jeffrey’s whereabouts?
She bit her lip, deciding to run back to the banquet hall.
Anthony, frowning, followed her. “What about Bill?”
Genevieve grabbed someone familiar and asked. “Where is Bill?”
“Oh, he’s dealing with those who wanted to revolt.”
The person, recognizing her as Lucas’s fiancée, didn’t hide anything from her.
Genevieve paused, realizing it wasn’t her place to step in right now. Every incident in the Simpson family was more critical and urgent than her issues.
But now, she felt somewhat lost.
Anthony slowly approached from behind, grabbing her wrist. “Let’s go back. It’s too chaotic here.”
Genevieve lightly pulled away. “You go ahead. I still have things to do.“”
“Are you waiting for Lucas?” Anthony’s tone deepened, turning grave.
Genevieve frowned slightly. “It’s none of your business, I-”
Hearing this, Anthony, red–eyed with anger, grabbed her hand and started walking out.
They just happened to run into Lucas, who had rushed back.
“Mr. Hoffman?” Lucas was also slightly surprised.

Anthony’s gaze was cool and distant.
But Lucas didn’t focus on him, turning his attention to Genevieve instead. “I was planning to have someone take you home. Sorry, I can’t be with you tonight. You must have been frightened. There are still matters to deal with.
“I remember your issue, always keeping it in mind. Rest assured, once Morris‘ men are under control, I will look into the matter you’re interested in.”
Hearing Lucas’s words, Genevieve finally relaxed a bit.
She smiled and nodded.
Lucas hurried off.
Anthony looked at him strangely, then lightly touched her hand. “Let me take you home?”
Genevieve glanced at him and, without a word, headed straight outside.
Her mind was in turmoil.
But she faintly realized that using her as bait to provoke Carrie was part of Robbin’s plan.
And Robbin taking a bullet for Bill almost erased all her previous mistakes.
From this incident, Robbin actually benefitted the most.
She managed to involve herself, Carrie, and even Bill, only to emerge perfectly unscathed.
What a seamless show.
Anthony escorted her back to the manor and followed her inside.
It was only in the living room that Genevieve realized he was still there.
“Why haven’t you left?” she asked.
Anthony, with a deep look, asked, “Can’t I stay the night?”
“You should ask yourself that,” Genevieve retorted, her tone regaining clarity and coolness.

On her own turf, she had nothing to worry about, and this gave her an opportunity to tease Anthony.
After a few seconds of silence, Anthony looked at her seriously and said, “I asked myself, and I think it’s okay.”
Genevieve was taken aback, took a deep breath, and bluntly said, “Get out before I lose
Anthony simply responded with a nod.
Despite her words being somewhat harsh, Anthony wasn’t upset.
After all, Genevieve used to not even get angry at him.
my temper.
Now that she had learned to express her anger, it meant he was gradually making his way into her heart.
The future looked promising!
He made a mental note to cheer himself on, turned around, and left under the bemused gaze of the servants.
After tidying up, Genevieve noticed Selene hadn’t returned and sent her a message.
Selene quickly replied, [I won’t be back tonight due to overtime work. Don’t wait for me.]
Genevieve was speechless.
When had Selene ever worked overtime?
This excuse was rather far–fetched.
When Genevieve tried calling, Selene had already turned off her phone.
Genevieve was speechless.
At the hospital, the entire floor was heavily guarded, a feat only Bill’s influence could achieve without raising eyebrows.
Lucas came with Bill to see Robbin, who had just come out of surgery and was under observation.
Lucas glanced around, and almost all the people at the banquet had left. The fact that the incident at the banquet was resolved quietly was a pleasant surprise.

Chapter 341
However, several high–ranking officials of the Simpson Group were vocally expressing their indignation around Bill.
“That bitch, you gave her money and power. You didn’t treat her badly at all, but she colluded with Morris. What a pair of ingrates!”
“If someone hadn’t sent us a message telling us to be on guard tonight, who would have thought that all the people who betrayed us were our own!”
“That’s right. Carrie has made a lot of trouble outside in the name of Mr. Simpson. If it weren’t for the respect others have for us, she would have died long ago.”
Lucas approached, and amidst the ongoing rants, he looked at Bill, who was stoic and unfazed, and asked, “Father, now that Carrie is confirmed dead, how should we handle the matter? Should we hand it over to the police or?”
Bill, with a frosty expression, said, “You handle it. Are all Morris‘ people taken care of?”
“Yes, but about Robbin.” Lucas hesitated to continue.
Bill sighed, “We really owe Robbin this time. That child has never held a grudge. I’ve barely been involved in her upbringing, yet she still risked her life to save me. I feel deeply indebted to her.
“Once she recovers, let her take over the resources that were Carrie’s. We should nurture her well. After all, she is
your sister.”
