Jacinta’s words abruptly silenced the crowd. 

Meanwhile, Anthony remained calm and expressionless. 

He instinctively glanced at Genevieve before nonchalantly saying, “The Thomson family has arranged for someone to take care of it. They won’t be back anytime soon.” 

Hearing that, Jacinta sighed and replied casually, “I got robbed the moment I arrived at Atharia. What bad luck! 

Our own country is a lot safer.” 

Genevieve raised an eyebrow slightly. 

It turned out that Andrea didn’t tell anyone about what had happened that day. 

Genevieve wondered if Andrea was feeling guilty about it. 

Genevieve lowered her head and smiled lightly, keeping a cool and distant demeanor throughout their 

conversation. 

Finally, Jacinta got down to business. “Ms. Lawrence, your decision to switch from Eagle Entertainment to Lawrence Group caught me off guard, but the strength of Lawrence Group speaks for itself. I don’t have any objections.” 

Genevieve nodded with a smile and then looked at Anthony. 

Her eyes sparkled, captivating. “Mr. Hoffman, what about you?” 

Anthony had been silent throughout the conversation. 

At this time, he lightly tapped his finger on the table twice before pondering for a moment and piping up in a deep voice, “I don’t think it’s necessary. Hoffman Group can carry out this project independently, I reviewed the previous contract, and while Ms. Sanders initially chose Ms. Lawrence, there is no doubt that Hoffman Group is far more powerful. Moreover, changing partners doesn’t benefit us in any way. I think it’s better to forget about it. Ms. Lawrence, if you want to gain some experience, I have other projects here that could be exchanged. How 

about that?” 

After careful consideration, Anthony had determined that his suggestion was the best possible outcome. 

It wouldn’t offend Genevieve, and he could take on the project alone.

As for Jacinta, he could kick her out eventually.

Anthony could not believe he would sign such a contract before his amnesia. 

That project would undoubtedly yield substantial profits. 

Anthony, being quick and decisive, would never share it with anyone else. 

He did not understand why Anthony had compromised so much before his amnesia. 

Regardless, he refused to compromise now. 

Genevieve continued to smile as she gazed at him with profound implication. 

However, she was secretly cursing Anthony. 

She knew Anthony was not a good person because he tried to offer her insignificant, small projects to dismiss 

her. 

‘Does he think I’m easy to trick? Or does he think I’m stupid?” she thought. 

Genevieve smiled and said softly, “Mr. Hoffman, I understand your intentions. You’re trying to kick me out, right? Mr. Hoffman, you have lost your memory. Perhaps you do not remember, but Ms. Sanders and I decided on this project together. You’re the outsider here.” 

Genevieve and Jacinta exchanged a smile. 

Anthony stiffened slightly and avoided their gaze, feeling awkward. 

He hadn’t expected that. 

He arched his brow and smiled indifferently. “It’s not about who comes first, is it?” 

Genevieve’s eyes flickered slightly as she leaned back in her chair, adopting a negotiating posture. “Then I’ll be direct, Mr. Hoffman. If you don’t agree, I won’t sign the waiver. After all, everything is stated clearly in the 

contract. Even if it continues under the name of Eagle Entertainment, I won’t lose out.” 

Even if Genevieve couldn’t transfer the project, she wouldn’t simply give it up. 

Anthony’s face darkened instantly. 

Her 

r comments were exactly on point.

With a gentle smile, Jacinta observed the two of them and became even more fond of Genevieve. 

The 

atmosphere among the three became more tense.

Naturally, they lost their appetite and did not feel like eating anything. 

In the end, Anthony didn’t insist further, leaving some room for negotiation 

After all, he and Genevieve were currently involved in an ambiguous relationship. It was better to avoid a disagreement. 

Shortly after, Jacinta received a call informing her that someone was waiting downstairs for her. 

Thus, she said goodbye to Genevieve and Anthony and left. 

After that, Genevieve and Anthony faced each other in silence. 

Anthony remembered waiting for Genevieve the previous night and asked jealously, “Why didn’t you contact me directly last night?” 

Genevieve narrowed her eyes, smiling. Her voice was clear and calm. “It’s a business matter.” After saying that, she paused for a moment and suddenly looked up. “Do you want me to contact you?” 

Anthony pursed his lips, and his gaze darkened. One button on his shirt was undone, and his Adam’s apple. bobbed as he spoke. “Did you break up with that pretty boy?” 

Genevieve understood instantly. She smiled knowingly and reached out to touch the back of his hand gently. “Of 

course.” 

‘Interesting. He appears to still have some expectations for our relationship,‘ she reflected. 

She brought over the gift box he had put aside, taking out the bracelet inside and putting it on his left wrist. 

The reddish–brown beads complemented his pale skin, emphasizing the firm lines on his forearm. The bracelet looked great on him. 

She wasn’t sure of the material of the beads. She suspected it was not wood, but rather something like agate. 

Genevieve nodded in satisfaction. “It suits you very well.” 

Anthony did not express his liking for it, but he did not remove it either.

Just as Genevieve was about to get back to her seat, he held her hand. 

She instinctively tried to pull away, but Anthony held on tighter.

His gaze darkened, tantamount to an incomprehensible mist, and his voice was unexpectedly pleasant. “Thank you. How about I give you a gift too?” 

Genevieve raised an eyebrow. “When did he become so considerate?‘ she wondered. 

Then, he stood up and pulled her away from there. 

The meal was over before she could taste anything. 

Outside, the wind was chilly. 

Anthony held her hand tightly and didn’t let go. 

Inside the black Bentley, the driver in front remained silent. 

Although Genevieve wanted to break free, she reminded herself to endure it. 

The wind stiffened her smile, but as soon as they entered the car, she felt the warmth and exhaled with relief. 

Anthony took out an exquisite and familiar box from somewhere. 

Opening it revealed “Siren’s Tear,” which they won at the cruise ship auction. 

Genevieve’s smile faded, and she didn’t reach out to take it. 

She had bad memories of it. 

When Anthony noticed the change in her expression, his initial optimism dampened. 

He could tell she didn’t like it.. 

He reasoned that women generally liked jewelry, so he had kept it in his car for a long time, thinking it would suit 

her. 

Just as he hesitated whether to put it away, Genevieve reached out and took it. “Thank you.” 

Her words sounded perfunctory, leaving Anthony feeling dissatisfied.

There was a moment of silence.

Genevieve could not take it any longer. She put on a fake smile and remarked, “It’s getting late. I’ll go back first.” 

Before she could step out of the car, she was pulled back. 

Anthony’s expression was gloomy. “Where are you staying? I’ll send you there.” 

He felt that, while they had a tacit understanding, their relationship wasn’t intimate enough. 

Genevieve looked back at him. “If you are willing to talk about the project with me, 

sure.” 

Any man would be ecstatic if they had the opportunity to send her home. 

Anthony’s gaze darkened, and his fingers trembled. “Okay.”
