Chapter 139 

It was a question from a middle–aged man with a gentle and refined demeanor. 

Louis looked at the man and introduced him to Genevieve as he smiled. “Gen, this is my uncle–in- law, David Schmidt.” 

Genevieve raised an eyebrow, as she hadn’t expected the first person she met to be David. 

She extended her hand gently. “Hello, nice to meet you.” 

David lightly shook her hand and let go. Judging by Genevieve’s demeanor, he seemed to perceive her as a pampered woman. “Where are you from. Gen? Who else is in your family?” 

Louis‘ expression darkened slightly. 

Genevieve tilted her head and replied with a smile, “I grew up with my parents in Friyx, where they run a small business. Didn’t Louis tell you?” 

Louis chuckled softly as he casually wrapped his arm around her waist. “I’m not concerned about these details. Why bother with introductions everywhere, especially when Aunt Linda already knows? He.” 

After all, he was only an uncle–in–law. 

David awkwardly chuckled and then walked away. 

Louis led Genevieve into the office, pushing the door open. 

Genevieve glanced around the spacious, well–lit office with a formal atmosphere.. 

Louis walked over to the coffee machine and started brewing coffee. “Would you like milk in yours?” 

“Yes, please, Genevieve replied. 

Soon, Louis prepared the coffee and placed it in front of her. “You can sit and relax for a while. I’ll bring you over when the time comes.” 

Genevieve nodded. “Sure, get back to work.” 

Louis smiled apologetically, and then Fabio entered. 

He nodded politely at Genevieve before turning to Louis. “Mr. Fallon, here are the updates on the project in Clusia. Since news of your accident spread, many conglomerates have attempted to disrupt the project, with Hoffman Group being the most aggressive.” 

Upon hearing that, Genevieve couldn’t help but look up. 

Louis‘ expression turned grave as he flipped through the documents in his hand. It seemed he wasn’t surprised. “Proceed with the original plan. Have the manager take over my position,” he instructed, clearly prepared for this.

Fabio nodded. 

Genevieve stood up and asked, “Has anything happened with the Lawrence family?” 

Fabio hesitated, glanced at her, and then smiled before speaking, “Lawrence Group is fine. With Jeffrey in charge, no one dares to provoke them. However, Ms. Lawrence, the project you discussed with Cosme Group and Hoffman Group at Eagle Entertainment might encounter some problems.” 

Genevieve frowned and her face darkened. “What do you mean?” 

That project was the top priority for Eagle Entertainment, and the company devoted all its efforts 

to it. 

If the project fell through, all her efforts would be in vain. 

Fabio glanced at Louis, appearing somewhat hesitant. 

This made Genevieve even more anxious. “What exactly happened? 

Fabio sighed. “Anthony intends to forcefully terminate the cooperation with Eagle Entertainment. under the pretext of the company’s incompetence, aiming to take over all the shares held by Eagle Entertainment. However, Jacinta from Cosmo Group has not agreed to this proposal. But it remains uncertain whether they can hold out in the end…” 

His voice trailed off toward the end. 

Genevieve’s expression turned icy cold and couldn’t help but sneer. 

She thought, ‘He truly believes I am dead, so he can’t wait to seize all my assets. It hasn’t been long since my “death,” how could he be so eager to take off his facade, leaving no dignity between us? Anthony, you… 

He was the man she had abandoned her family and sacrificed her dignity for, the man she had loved with all her heart. 

Even after their divorce, he had professed a desire to start over, and for a moment, she had. believed him. 

To think this was the outcome, Genevieve felt humiliated. It felt like a harsh slap in her face. 

Genevieve’s eyes couldn’t help but sting with tears for a moment. 

Thankfully, she hadn’t believed his lies. 

Genevieve thought, ‘How could he possibly be genuine? He was willing to trade his marriage for benefit. How could he be moved by me?” 

Now, at this critical moment, she truly saw through his heart. 

Her heart sank to the bottom of the abyss, feeling utterly absurd and ridiculous. 

Louis glanced at Genevieve and then waved his hand, signaling for Fabio to leave.

After a few moments of silence, he spoke, “Gen, do you still like him?” 

Genevieve’s face grew cold. “Like? One major lapse in judgment is enough. I can’t repeat the same 

mistake. 

She clenched her fists tightly, feeling an indescribable anger surging within her. 

From the very beginning, she should never have met him. 

Louis walked over and looked at her patiently. “Then there’s no need to be so angry. If he wants to take it, let him. We can always take it back later. It doesn’t matter.” 

Genevieve looked at him for a few seconds before chuckling. “You’re right. I’ll retrieve what belongs 

to me.” 

She thought, ‘I won’t let that scumbag take advantage of my hard work. I’ll make him, Lauraine, and Andrea pay the price! 

Louis smiled and was about to say something when suddenly someone knocked on the door from outside. “Mr. Fallon, the meeting is about to start.” 

“Got it.” As soon as Louis answered, Genevieve smiled. “You can go. I’ll take care of myself.” 

Louis nodded and left the office. 

Genevieve sat for a while, barely touching her coffee, when she heard the sound of high heels. outside. “Why can’t I go in?” 

“Ms. Schmidt, Mr. Fallon is not here. He’s in a meeting. You can’t just barge into his office.” The secretary. Amelia Garcia, was trying to stop the person outside. 

A sharp female voice shouted, “Do you know about the relationship between me and Louis? When we were together, was there any place in this company I couldn’t go to? I want to see this woman who enchanted him!” 

“Ms. Schmidt, please have some respect. The person inside is Mrs. Fall hard time stopping the woman. 

Amelia was having a 

The woman pushed past the secretary, crazed, and pushed open the office door. 

Genevieve stood by the window, the breeze gently tousling her hair. 

Her profile was exquisite, her delicate features stunning, her flawless skin glowing. Standing there, 

she seemed to be enveloped in a faint light, exuding an ethereal beauty. 

When Yvette Schmidt entered and saw Genevieve, she was completely stunned. 

Genevieve’s beauty was indeed incomparable to ordinary women. 

Yvette thought, ‘So she snatched my man with her looks. 

Amelia tried to block her. “Ms. Schmidt, please leave. Your presence here is inconvenient.”

Yvette pushed the secretary aside. “Get lost! Who are you to speak to me like this?” 

She looked at Genevieve, feeling extremely unpleasant. 

Yvette was dressed in top 

brands, and her temperament was fiery.

She glared at Genevieve, seized up the latter, and chuckled. “So, you’re the woman hidden away the manor by him?” 

Genevieve looked at Yvette in silence, her expression blank as she blinked her eyes. 

She remembered the pink Maserati being turned away at the gates of the manor. 

Since Yvette was ignored, she stepped forward and brushed her hair. “Let me introduce myself. Before you appeared, I was his girlfriend, Yvette Schmidt.”
