Chapter 343
Genevieve tugged at the corner of her lips. “Worked all night, huh? Rest well!”
Selene glared at her before ducking her head and rushing inside.
Genevieve chuckled lightly.
She was naturally happy to see Selene with someone she liked.
As for her boyfriend, Irven, Genevieve pursed her lips, thinking he was just passable.
After finishing up her tasks and notifying Lucas, she headed to the hospital.
She admired Robbin’s meticulous planning but was not content being used as a stepping stone for someone else’s gain.
After all her efforts, she not only wasted time but also hadn’t found Jeffrey.
It was like looking for a needle in a haystack without knowing where the haystack was.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
The coffee prepared by Mike in the driver’s seat did little to improve her mood.
Mike looked back. “Ms. Lawrence, it seems like a car has been following you!”
Genevieve glanced back and saw an ordinary car, nothing conspicuous.
However, after all the incidents she encountered here, her alertness spiked. “Shake them off!”
“Okay.”
Mike seized the moment to showcase his driving skills.
The car immediately accelerated, drifting around corners.
Genevieve, not wearing her seatbelt in the back, nearly flew out.

She desperately clung to the front seat, her voice trembling as she tapped Mike’s shoulder. “Slow down. If you continue drinking like this, I might die before the car even catches up to us.”
Mike nodded somewhat confusedly.
He deliberately slowed down afterwards, and by the time Genevieve looked again, the pursuing car had disappeared.
Had they lost them?
Arriving at the hospital, Genevieve looked around.
Mike got out of the car to open the door for her. “We’ve lost them, don’t worry!”
Genevieve nodded, thinking she needed to train herself physically after returning home. Being at the others just didn’t feel good.
Lucas was waiting for her on the steps.
As soon as she got out of the car, he greeted her with a smile. “Did you sleep well last night?”
Genevieve nodded. “I was fine, but Professor Simpson looked quite pale. Didn’t sleep all night?”

“I did sleep, but with so much happening, not for long. I’ll rest later!” Lucas shrugged nonchalantly, with fatigue in his eyes.
“By the way, I haven’t had the chance to ask you, how did you end up in that private room last night?”
As they talked, they reached the upstairs.
Bill had also just arrived because Robbin had woken up.
The two bullets hit Robbin’s shoulder blade, missing any vital parts. Once the anesthesia wore off, the pain woke her up.
Robbin was in her hospital room, crying with red eyes.
Bill showed rare patience and care, asking the doctor about her recovery.

“Robbin, even though you called her ‘mom,’ she wasn’t your mother. You know how she treated you.
“Now that she’s gone, don’t be too sad. She brought this upon herself.
“You’ll stay with us from now on. The business that was in Carrie’s hands will be passed to you. If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask your brother, okay?”
Robbin, with tearful eyes, bit her lip and looked at Bill.
“Dad, I didn’t save you for these benefits. Any child would save their father in that situation. Don’t think I did it for the perks!”
“I know, you’re a good kid.”
As they were talking, Lucas arrived with Genevieve at the door. “Father, Ms. Lawrence specifically came to visit Robbin.”
Genevieve smiled as she entered, greeting Bill before turning her attention to Robbin. “Ms. Simpson, I’m so glad you’re alright.”
“Thank you, Ms. Lawrence.”
Bill couldn’t help but think of that photo upon seeing Genevieve’s face again.
The resemblance was uncanny.
He hastily averted his gaze, his enthusiasm not as warm as before, and nodded. “Ms. Lawrence, you must be startled. Yesterday’s incident was quite the spectacle.”
“Mr. Simpson, it’s nothing. No one wished for that incident at the birthday banquet. You handled the aftermaths. well,” Genevieve said with a polite smile.
Robbin added, “We were all scared at the scene. If anything had happened to Ms. Lawrence, our Simpson family would be to blame.”
Bill nodded in agreement.
Genevieve slightly lowered her gaze, smiling at Robbin, and said, “I was just telling Lucas earlier that it was Ms. Simpson who asked me to go to the private room, saying Mrs. Simpson was looking for me. But when I arrived, I

happened to catch Mrs. Simpson and a man in an entanglement.”
She continued. “Had I not stumbled upon their affair, Mrs. Simpson wouldn’t have threatened to kill me.”
“Ms. Simpson, it seemed like Mrs. Simpson was not aware of her summoning me, right?” Genevieve blinked innocently, looking confusedly at Robbin.
Robbin’s eyes flickered with panic.
She gripped the blanket tighter, her lips pressed together:
“Are you suspecting me of deceiving you? Indeed, it was my mother who asked me to pass the message. As for why, I’d like to know too.
“If I had intended to harm you, why would I have my father and brother rush to save you immediately?”
Bill fell into thought, then nodded and said to Genevieve, “Indeed, it was Robbin who sensed something was wrong and instructed us to rescue you immediately.
“Ms. Lawrence, you might have misunderstood Robbin.”
Genevieve paused, smiling. “I didn’t suspect Ms. Simpson’s intentions to harm me.
“I was just curious about the coincidence, so I asked. If Ms. Simpson doesn’t want to or can’t answer, then let it be. Perhaps I’m overthinking.”
Robbin didn’t expect Genevieve to press on this point, the only aspect she couldn’t smoothly address.
If she hadn’t set the trap for Genevieve, how could Bill and Lucas have taken personal action?
Robbin looked pitifully at Bill, her eyes brimming with tears.
“Dad, if only there were evidence, I too would want to know why mom asked me to call Ms. Lawrence over.
“I only knew not to offend Ms. Lawrence because mom had instructed me so, saying you two had a good
relationship and mentioned some collaboration.”
Genevieve’s expression darkened.

Robbin knew quite a lot.
Bill’s stance clearly leaned towards Robbin. He frowned at Genevieve,
“Ms. Lawrence, what collaboration did you have with Carrie?”
Lucas intervened. “Father, I’m aware of this matter. Carrie knew the whereabouts of Ms. Lawrence’s brother and blackmailed her into getting engaged to me. She planned to act after the engagement, but she deceived everyone and made her move at your birthday banquet.”
Bill’s expression turned grim. “Being blackmailed into engagement? So, you weren’t sincerely planning to get engaged, but put on a show for her?”
Lucas remained silent, glanced at Genevieve, and said, “It was my idea, Father, please don’t be angry.
“Ms. Lawrence’s brother hasn’t been found, and she’s anxious.”
