Chapter 114
The atmosphere in the evening was always somewhat romantic, especially when the two of them
were alone
However, such an atmosphere was suddenly interrupted.
Someone upstairs poured a basin of water down.
Louis ran over swiftly to protect Genevieve in his arms.
Lours was soaked all over, while Genevieve only got a bit wet on her arm.
Soon, Louis let go of her and looked at her solemnly. “Are you okay?”
Genevieve shook her head. She stood up immediately and looked up. There was no one upstairs. It was unknown as to who did it.
She then looked at the wet Louis and said, “Go get a room and wash up. I’ll contact your assistant and ask him to send you a set of clothes.”
Louis nodded and said with a smile, “I’ve saved a damsel in distress after all.”
That basin of water was aiming at Genevieve.
Genevieve smiled. “I’ll check the surveillance.”
Louis nodded. They two went in.
The organizer’s expression changed when he saw Louis‘ state. “Mr. Fallon…”
Tm okay. Let Ms. Lawrence check the surveillance to see who has been so careless.” Louis” expression was vague in the dim light, and his emotions couldn’t be seen.
“Sure, sure,” the organizer said.
Louis went to the room. Genevieve called his assistant and then headed straight for the surveillance.
Louis took a shower and changed his clothes. He came out in less than half an hour.
The corridor was paved with black ceramic tiles, looking particularly cold and solemn. The lights above were dazzlingly white.
Genevieve leaned against the wall in a black dress. The emotions on her face were unreadable, but the light shrouded her gently, adding a touch of indifference and melancholy to her cold skin.
She wore high heels and an obsidian anklet, which looked sexy against her tanned skin.
Louis walked over, stopped, and lowered his head to look at her. “Did you see who it was?”

Genevieve leaned against the wall with her delicate collarbone revealed. Her face was calm, seemingly emotionless. “Forget it. I don’t know the person. Maybe it wasn’t on purpose.”
Louis narrowed his eyes..
She lifted her foot and turned to walk out.
Louis looked at her back for a few seconds before he followed her.
Genevieve got in the car while Louis bid farewell to the organizer.
The organizer nodded respectfully at the end. Genevieve suddenly thought that power and influence knew no national boundaries.
Even though Louis did not have much of a foundation there, he could still control everything.
Finally, Louis got in the car, but the driver didn’t hurry to drive away.
The car stopped at a barbecue joint not far away.
Louis got out of the car. He loosened his collar and said casually, “I saw you didn’t eat much. Would you like to have some more?”
Genevieve looked at the barbecue joint and asked, “Eat this?”
Louis smiled. “This is the first delicious food I have discovered after being here for so long!”
Genevieve became interested and got out of the car with a smile. “I don’t eat snacks at night, but I can accompany you to eat before leaving.”
After all, he had been poured a basin of water in order to protect her earlier.
Maybe it was getting late. There was no one at the barbecue joint. When the owner saw them sit down, he delivered the menu again.
Genevieve had her back to him and could see the direction of the hotel.
Louis had a great appetite and ordered a few side dishes and a vegetarian barbecue.
The owner went back to prepare the food.
Genevieve watched with great interest as Louis leisurely tasted the side dishes as if he were savoring expensive Epean food. That was a huge contrast.
After talking for a while, Genevieve suddenly saw people coming out of the hotel one after another.
When everyone was almost gone, Quincey and Lauraine were finally escorted out. Their driver opened the door and waited..
When the organizer waved goodbye, cold water suddenly poured over Lauraine’s head before she

got in the car. She jumped up with a scream. Quincey was also implicated. The two were in a mess.
Lauraine stood there in shock, her face pale. She looked around and saw two people talking and laughing at the corner of the street. In an instant, her body trembled slightly with fear in her eyes.
Quincey was angry and scolded, “What’s going on? What the hell is that?”
The organizer repeatedly apologized and said he didn’t know what happened.
Soon, the person in charge rushed out from inside and chimed in to apologize, “Mrs. Hoffman, Ms. Hoffman, I’m really sorry. The water pipe upstairs burst, and the window was left open, so the water suddenly spurted out of the window. We will compensate you for all the losses caused. I am terribly sorry!”
Quincey was so angry that she couldn’t feel satisfied even after cursing them.
The organizer asked her to go inside to wash up and change clothes, but she didn’t bother to go in. Finally, she got into the car and called out to Lauraine, who was in a daze outside. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up! Get in the car and go home. What bad luck!”
Her dress was the latest haute couture from a famous brand, and it couldn’t be worn again once it
got wet.
Lauraine’s body swayed. She withdrew her gaze from the street corner and got in the car with a pale face, her whole body tense.
‘Did he find out? Otherwise, how could retribution come so timely?‘ she thought.
An hour ago, Lauraine had gone up to the balcony upstairs when no one was around and had. poured the basin of water down while no one was paying attention.
She could not forget how affectionately and deeply Louis had looked at Genevieve. Nor could she forget Louis asking Genevieve in such a gentle tone if she wanted to go to Atharia with him.
Lauraine thought Genevieve had everything even though she was born humble. She agreed with Andrea that if Genevieve hadn’t donated the bone marrow back then, she wouldn’t have lived such a good life now.
‘Genevieve has stepped on me to climb up the social ladder. How can she even have the nerve to fight with me for a man?‘ she thought.
But Lauraine dared not go up and yell before them, for she could not forget or stand the coldness. with which Louis had looked at her.
Still, she wanted to teach Genevieve a lesson by soaking her wet and forcing her out of that occasion she didn’t belong to.
Lauraine had then gone and done that on an impulse. But she hadn’t expected that Louis would protect Genevieve.

Lauraine’s panicked look made Quincey feel strange. “What’s wrong with you?”
Lauraine was stunned and shook her head. “Nothing”
Quincey snorted coldly, “Damn the organizer! I have to make them pay for our dresses and mental damages!”
Lauraine kept quiet and dared not speak.
At the barbecue joint at the street corner, Genevieve looked at the scene earlier in shock and then shifted her gaze to Louis. Her heartbeat suddenly quickened.
After a long time, she said, “Did you know all about it?”
Louis‘ eyes were deep. He said meaningfully with a smile, “Did you let her go because of Mr.
Hoffman?”
Genevieve lowered her eyes and shook her head with a smile. “Lauraine has been treating her illness abroad for too long. In fact, she is very simple–minded. I don’t want to have too much contact with her. I also know that she has been instigated.”
Otherwise, Lauraine wouldn’t have earnestly wanted to get close to her back then but turned hostile. toward her now. After all, young ladies were always fickle.
“So you let her go? Genevieve, you’re always soft–hearted at the wrong time.” Louis‘ voice was indifferent.
