Chapter 69
Genevieve’s heart sank, but her expression remained calm.
She pondered, ‘I know that he will definitely help Rosalie clean up her mess without hesitation. Why would I anticipate he may have changed? Instead, he became more tolerant of Rosalie without any limits.”
She sneered and requested, “I want 20 million dollars.”
Without hesitation, Anthony agreed, “Okay.”
He mused, ‘Rosalie can’t be imprisoned now. Moreover, the money is for Genevieve. If it’s her, I’m willing to provide for her. She’s finally willing to accept my money, which means she began to care about me!‘
Anthony was relieved internally.
He immediately took out his phone to transfer money to her, and almost at the same time, Genevieve received the transfer notification.
However, in Genevieve’s view, Anthony desperately wanted to save Rosalie, even if he had to provide 20 million dollars. She mused, ‘Indeed, they are truly in love.”
She looked coldly at him and said, “The exchange of benefits is very fair for us.”
Anthony paused, and his gaze softened.
He said, “Now, you’re not angry, are you? You’ve received the money and even hit her. You guys are even.”
He allowed Genevieve to do it before them just to get her to vent her grievance.
As for the scrap piece of the lighter with Genevieve’s fingerprints that the assistant found at the studio fire that morning, he had it disposed of in advance, leaving no evidence left at the scene.
Anthony thought, ‘She must have felt my caring attitude and consideration for her. It’s worth paying 20 million dollars!”
Without another word, Genevieve turned and walked away.
Lauraine was catching up with them, panting.
She asked, “Tony, why did Gen leave?”
Anthony pursed his lips and looked at her as he suggested, “Go and comfort Gen for me.”
“Could it be that you really have an affair with that woman just now? Let me make it clear. I won’t acknowledge anyone else, except Gen. If you truly did something to cheat on Gen, I advise you to take your own life for forgiveness!” Lauraine said.
Anthony’s expression darkened, and he glared at her.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Go now!” Anthony rebuked.
Lauraine stuck out her tongue and hurried to chase after her.
Genevieve was about to
Genevieve was about to reach the ward when Lauraine caught up with her.
“Gen!” Lauraine called out.
Genevieve paused, looked back at her, and smiled faintly.

“Lauraine, I divorced your brother a long time ago. Don’t call me Gen in public. It’s inappropriate, Genevieve reminded.
Lauraine’s eyes widened in shock. She cursed Anthony multiple times in her heart and wondered, ‘Why he asked me to comfort her since they had divorced each other?”
It took her a while to process the situation before she smiled and said, “Anyhow, you’re still my sister–in–law. I went abroad when you got married, but I have always regarded you as my family. Unfortunately, Tony didn’t let me contact you privately.”
Anthony did not allow Lauraine to contact Genevieve, probably because she donated the bone marrow with conditions, and he did not regard her as family. So, he did not want her to meet Lauraine
Genevieve lowered her eyes and smiled before inquiring. “Have you recovered?”
Lauraine grinned and casually entered the ward, acting like Genevieve’s close family.
“The doctor said I could live a normal life now,” Lauraine replied.
“Congratulations, Genevieve said.
‘Thanks to you, Gen,” Lauraine expressed.
Lauraine smiled and continued, “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have survived. You donated bone marrow Tony. Instead, you’ve suffered a loss.”
Genevieve burst into laughter when she heard that.
It was the first time she had heard such a unique remark.
to me and married
Everyone thought that she threatened Anthony to marry her by donating bone marrow and was shameless as she took advantage of Anthony.
It was only Lauraine who said Genevieve had suffered a loss, and indeed, she did.
Talking non–stop, Lauraine sat down and started to eat fruit while Genevieve sat on the balcony, drinking coffee and listening to her nagging.
Not long after, someone came knocking at the door.
Lauraine put down the apple and happily went over to open the door.

“Gen, don’t move. I’ll open the door,” Lauraine said.
Genevieve remained silent, having no intention to move as well.
“It’s you. Louis, why are you here?” Lauraine asked.
Lauraine’s voice sounded surprised, yet passionate and happy.
*Do you know my sister–in–low? Please come in,” Lauraine added.
Louis nodded slightly and gently. Then, he walked in and smiled, looking at Genevieve sitting on the balcony and drinking.
coffee.
“I had heard of something, so I came to see you, Louls explained.
As soon as he heard that Rosalie almost died in the fire, he knew the cause and effects.
Genevieve nodded and smiled as she replied, “I’m fine. I’ll be discharged soon.”
Louis smiled. Meanwhile, Lauraine ran over and warmly served Louls with coffee and fruits, but he refused politely with a distant demeanor.
After a while, Louis felt uncomfortable in the presence of the third party, so he bid farewell.
Lauraine walked him to the door and turned back with a dejected expression.
“Gen, how did you know Louis? What’s your relationship with him?” Lauraine inquired.
Genevieve imperceptibly lowered her eyes, not wanting to answer those questions.
Although Lauraine did not show malice to her, she did not want to have too much close interaction with the Hoffman family.
Besides, she did not have much contact with Lauraine at all.
After a couple of seconds of silence, Genevieve said in a gentle voice, “We’ve cooperated before. Why? Do you
know him?”
Lauraine blushed with excitement and nervousness. She nodded embarrassedly and responded, “The laboratory where I had my medical treatment abroad belongs to him. He’s extraordinary. He almost monopolized the medical equipment industry in Atharia, I recovered, thanks to him. Gen, can you help me? I like him, and I want to be with him.”
Genevieve cast a glance at her, somewhat surprised by her frankness.
However, after she returned to her senses, she smiled and uttered, “You have to fight for it yourself. I can’t help you. Louis and I are just partners. We don’t have much interaction other than business.”
Lauraine looked gloomily at Genevieve and asked in a complaining tone, “Gen, you refused to help me. Could it be that you like him too?”
Genevieve disliked Lauraine’s suspicion toward her. Moreover, they were not close, and she felt Lauraine had no sense of

boundary toward her.

She just looked coldly at Lauraine and replied gently, “I’ve made my explanation just now. Lauraine, stop telling others that I’m your sister–in–law.”
She mused, I’m not your sister–in–law anymore. Even before my divorce, few people acknowledged me as a member of the Hoffman family, and I don’t need the title now
Sensing Genevieve’s displeasure, Lauraine stopped persisting on the topic and walked over with a smile.
“But you’re my only sister–in–law in my heart. Tony also allowed me to think so, and he still loves you. Gen, have a good rest. I’ll take my leave now,” Lauraine said.
Genevieve said nothing and sent her away.
After Lauraine left, Genevieve directly sent the evidence to Anthony.
She had
taken her revenge and received 20 million dollars from Anthony, so it was useless for her to keep it.
Even though she was angry at him, she had to keep her promise.
Meanwhile, in another ward, Rosalie stared at Anthony with tears in her eyes and was about to cry, feeling aggrieved.
“What about the evidence of the lighter? Has the result come out? It must be Genevieve. There is no one else but her. When she encountered the fire disaster, she suspected me and took revenge on me. Anthony, you must uphold justice for me!” Rosalie said.
Just as Rosalie was about to jump into his arms, Anthony dodged sideways. She froze for a moment, feeling more aggrieved.
