1 visited Louis, but he didn’t want to see me at all. I waited for hours on several occasions on the ground floor of his company, but he didn’t relent. He wouldn’t talk to me, no matter how many chance encounters I had with him or what I said to him. Can you help me think of a plan, Tony? I’m losing my mind!” Lauraine paced around impatiently as she spoke.
Anthony furrowed his brow slightly. “Why are you so eager?”
“If I’m not eager, I’ll be even more invisible to him. It’s easy for women to pursue men. Besides, he’s such an outstanding and popular man. I can’t let him be taken by someone else!” Lauraine replied naturally.
Anthony looked disdainful. He did not have a good impression of Louis.
“He’s not worth it. Besides, doesn’t he just look like me?” he grumbled.
“Tony, can you stop being so narcissistic? He doesn’t look like you at all. Louis looks more gentle and gorgeous…” said Lauraine.
Anthony’s face darkened as she shot her a cold look. “Get out.”
Lauraine fell silent.
‘Is he really my brother? she wondered,
She pleaded for a while before Anthony eventually agreed to create an opportunity for her by Inviting Louis to Presley’s birthday
banquet.
After asking her to leave, Anthony finally had some peace and quiet.
Several days passed before Genevieve finally found out about the situation on Anthony’s side.
The event in which Cecilia jumped off a building was kept under wraps due to the numerous circumstances surrounding it.
When Genevieve learned of it, she found it difficult to believe,
She wondered why Cecilia had chosen such a way to leave.
A few days later, Selene excitedly went to the company to look for Genevieve.
As soon as she entered the office, Selene stood in front of Genevieve’s desk and looked at her with a mysterious expression.

“Do you know what I’m going to tell you? Selene asked.
Genevieve shook her head.
Selene didn’t keep Genevieve in suspense as she eagerly revealed, “Aiden took the child back to the Campbell family. Mrs. Campbell
was worried, so she had them do a DNA test. It turns out the child is not Aiden’s.”
Genevieve’s eyes widened in astonishment. She was immensely shocked.
“What? That Cecilia…” she uttered.
“Wasn’t Cecilia in love with Alden? Or was she only putting on an act as well? Genevieve thought.
Selene couldn’t help but shook her head. “Cecilia’s first boyfriend is the father of that child. After she left Aiden, she made up with her

first love, then broke up with him when she got pregnant.”

Selene continued, “Now everyone is making fun of Aiden for being cheated on by a mistress. The Campbell family has given the child back to his biological father.”
Genevieve also thought this was quite sad.
‘Cecilia had most likely gotten together with Aiden out of revenge since the beginning. Perhaps only those two are aware of their true selves, she mused.
“The Campbell family’s got enough on their plate for a while. But who was it that took that kid?” asked Genevieve.
Selene raised her eyebrows and said, “Who knows? It has nothing to do with us anymore.”
Genevieve was silent for a moment.
It’s just a pity that Malcolm is lost… she thought.
However, she could not help but feel that he was not lost but had been taken. She thought it was impossible that the search yielded no results at all otherwise, considering how much of a fuss Anthony had made.
Her phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Louis: [Gen, something urgent came up, so I have to go back to Atharia. Do you need me to bring you anything?]
Genevieve frowned slightly. This seemed quite sudden to her.
She replied: [I don’t need anything. Have a safe trip]
Louis: [Wait for me.]
After the two chatted for a while, it was time to get off work.
Genevieve had a social function that night with some acquaintances, and Selene went with her.
The other party also brought his daughter, who was about the same age as Genevieve. She had just returned from abroad. Her facial features were defined, and she looked delicate and elegant,
“Ms. Lawrence, this is my daughter, Andrea Thomson. She plays the piano, said the man.
Genevieve smiled and said politely. “I’ve seen Ms. Thomson’s poster before. I was lucky to pass by a theater when I was abroad, but unfortunately, I didn’t have time to go inside and enjoy her performance.”
delicate
Andrea had a delicate air about her, and she replied gently, “You’re too kind, Ms. Lawrence. I have a performance in the theater in a few days. You can come and support me if you have time.”
Andrea and Rosalie were similar in some ways, possibly because both had the characteristics of a dancer,
They both lock They both looked delicate, soft, and fragile.
ragile.
However, Andrea did not feel as mean and inimical as Rosalie.
From time to time, Andrea’s gaze fell on Genevieve during the meal.
Genevieve noticed and just nodded lightly at her when she met her gaze.

When the meal was about to end, Andrea’s phone rang. She glanced at it before speaking to her father, Kyler Thomson, with a smile.
Kyler waved his hand and dismissed her helplessly.
Selene laughed and teased, “Is your boyfriend coming to pick you up?”
Andrea’s face flushed. She subconsciously glanced at Genevieve, smiled, slightly embarrassed, and explained, “He’s not that yet.”
Shyly, she apologized to everyone and left.
Although that person was not yet her boyfriend, someone had come to pick her up.
Kyler smiled and said, “He’s someone her mother set her up with. I hope you don’t mind, Ms. Lawrence. It’s Anthony Hoffman.”
Silence ensued in the room.
Selene was even more shocked and stiffly withdrew her smile as she uttered, “Anthony?”
Genevieve quirked her brow. She finally realized why Andrea had been watching her.
“Of course, I don’t mind. They’re well–matched in status, a perfect match for each other!” she replied.
Since Kyler worked even more closely with Eagle Entertainment, he did not keep this from Genevieve.
Kyler finally breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed Genevieve appeared unfazed.
He then added, “Actually, I’m against it. But my wife thinks highly of Mr. Hoffman, and Andrea likes him, too. She has liked Mr. Hoffman since she was a child, so… let fate take its course!”
After the meal, everyone left one by one.
Genevieve and Selene were the last to leave after they went to the restroom.
Selene had drunk quite a lot and was leaning on Genevieve in a drunken stupor
They were waiting for the elevator.
When the elevator arrived, a man got out. He had quite a lot to drink as well. He narrowed his eyes as he regarded them before his
eyes lit up.
“Ms. Lawrence. Aren’t you Ms. Lawrence of Hoffman Group?”

Genevieve was stunned and recognized that this person

Genevieve nodded perfunctorily. “Nice to see you, Mr. Cook. I’m no longer at Hoffman Group.”
Duncan eagerly approached and took her hand as he sized her up, unable to hide his astonishment.
“Ms. Lawrence, I’ve always thought it was a waste of talent for you to work there. Mr. Hoffman had always neglected you. You’ve been on my mind since your divorce. Why don’t you come to my company? I double your salary,” Duncan said.
As he spoke, he made his way to touch her behind, taking advantage of the fact that he was inebriated.
Genevieve retracted her hand and dodged, her face darkening. “Mr. Cook, I’m not interested. Please behave yourself.”

Duncan’s face became sullen in an instant. Narrowing his eyes, he grunted.
“Don’t make me do this the hard way. Do you think you are still a member of Hoffman Group?” he spat.

Selene, who was standing next to Genevieve and listening to them, looked up in a daze, thinking that something was wrong.
“Who are you? What’s so great about Hoffman Group? Where did this fatty come from? If you want to act like a hooligan, open your eyes. Get lost!‘ Selene hissed.
Duncan hated being called “fatty,” and his expression changed dramatically, Lifting his hand, he slapped Selene across the face.
