Andrea opened her mouth. She stood up, and her lips trembled.
Looking at Anthony with tears in her eyes, she said, “Anthony, you must help me. I’m your fiancée. We should support each other!”
With that, she reached out to grab Anthony’s clothes, but the latter dodged.
Anthony’s gaze was extremely cold with a trace of disgust as he spoke. “Things have become out of control. Hoffman Group’s stock price is plummeting. Andrea, I’m holding you accountable for this.”
Then, he walked past her directly and headed out.
Flustered and exasperated, Quincey pushed Andrea angrily and screamed, “How dare you even mention this? It’s all your fault for getting the Hoffman family involved!”
Andrea was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she sneered suddenly.
She pushed Quincey abruptly and looked at the latter, disheartened. “That’s enough. I didn’t force you to insult Mrs. Lawrence. It is Genevieve, not me, who deserves your hatred. You dare not hate her, but she dares to come
after you. This matter has started with you in the first place, and I was implicated by you!”
Andrea felt much brighter instantly after she had vented all of that out in one breath.
She couldn’t take the blame for Quincey without boundaries, or the latter would shove her away once she had
taken all the blame.
After that, Andrea walked away immediately.
Quincey gritted her teeth in anger as she stood behind, seeing Andrea off.
Meanwhile, in Monica’s ward, Genevieve stood by the window, overlooking the tall buildings not far away. The video was playing repetitively on the screen.
All the screens and websites of major shopping malls had erupted into heated discussion because of that video.
She had invested a lot of money, but it was worth it.

Monica squinted her eyes as she couldn’t see clearly. Holding a banana in her hand, she was sobbing while watching the miserable experience of the heroine in the drama series.
Jasper kept texting Genevieve, reporting the latest news.
[Hoffman Group’s stock has suffered a major turbulence. Many people have begun to buy and sell in large quantities.]
[Ms. Lawrence, there is internal turmoil in Hoffman sent to the hospital.]
Group. I heard that Mr. Hoffman was
[Hoffman Group’s stock price has dropped below its rock bottom. Do we need to take action?]
Genevieve merely glanced through the messages and continued to look out of the window.
A few seconds later, she replied: [Stay still. Just wait and observe.]
The sound of heavy footsteps was heard at the door.
Soon after, someone knocked at the door.
Genevieve turned to have a look. It was Anthony who appeared at the door.
His figure was tall and slender. His handsome face looked slightly exhausted, and his gaze was somewhat tired and deep. When he looked at Genevieve, his gaze was filled with incomprehensible emotion.
Genevieve had taken a drastic measure that caused him to lose a lot of money,
Besides the scandal Quincey was involved in, the reputation and image of Hoffman Group’s daughter–in–law were damaged, along with a series of turmoil in both stock and industry. Genevieve was the mastermind of everything that had happened.
Anthony thought that he had taken the surveillance footage from the store.
Unexpectedly, he was still one step late. Genevieve had already taken the upper hand.
For the first time, he had tasted defeat against a woman.
He had always underestimated Genevieve and had always treated her as his ex–wife and a woman. Also, he had always wanted her to work for him.

Nonetheless, she had never been like Andrea, a person who was dependent on men.
She had refused to let Anthony change her assistant, Jasper.
Also, she had declined Anthony from entering her study in the penthouse.
She was on guard against him with her behavior.
Genevieve had been sober the whole time.
He was the one who had fallen for her.

Anthony felt a dull ache assailing his chest as if it was hit hard by someone. The pain lasted for a long time.
He didn’t know what Genevieve had been like in the past, but right then, he felt that she was strange to him.
He stood at the door and said in a low voice, “Genevieve.”
That name had been repeated in silence countless times..
Genevieve smiled and waved at him, looking somewhat harmless and beautiful.
It seemed that she was not the one who wanted him dead.
“Oh, look who it is… So handsome.” As soon as Monica saw Anthony, she held back her tears and greeted him while reaching out her hand. “Come in!” she said.
Pursing his lips, Anthony disguised his expression as he walked in, bowed to Monica, and asked, “Are you feeling better?”
It was rude of him to come without visiting yesterday.
Monica smiled happily, took his hand, and patted it. “I’m better. That damn woman pushed me and wanted me dead. I’m not going to grant her wish. They should be the ones who deserve punishment. Are you Genevieve’s friend? Boyfriend?” she asked.
She sized Anthony up with admiration. A tidy and handsome young man always gave her a good impression.
Anthony’s gaze darkened. He got ready to answer.

Then, Genevieve chuckled as she walked over and said indifferently. “Grandaunt Monica, he is the fiancé of that
damn woman!“.
Monica’s smile suddenly froze on her face.
She immediately shook off Anthony’s hand as if she had touched some dirt. “Get out!”
Monica was not stupid. Beauty was not more important than her life.
Anthony frowned and pursed his thin lips into a straight line.
He paused and said in a deep voice, “Sorry, I’ll give you a satisfactory answer.”
Monica didn’t even look at him and snorted coldly.
She knew that birds of a feather flocked together.
When Genevieve said that she would avenge her, Monica believed it. She only trusted Genevieve because the latter was the one who resembled her the most when she was young.
Anthony looked at Genevieve. His eyes darkened.
Genevieve knew he had something to say, so she stood up and raised her chin slightly. “Want to talk outside?”
she asked.
Anthony nodded. Then, he nodded at Monica before stepping out.
Monica continued to watch her drama series.
Sitting on the couch outside, Genevieve wore a long beige casual dress. Her hair was tied into a fluffy bun with a few strands of hair falling out. The corners of her lips were slightly raised. Her side profile looked delicate and gorgeous, exuding a relaxed aura.
Sitting opposite her, Anthony took an intense gaze at her before looking away, hiding the darkness that crossed his eyes.
Before he could speak, Genevieve couldn’t help but laugh.

Her red lips curved in a shallow arc as she spoke. “Are you here to confront me? You’re right. I exposed the

surveillance footage and arranged for the trending topic on the internet. I’ve even bought traffic for a whole day.
Anthony, you can’t remove them.”
She waited to see him get angry.
However, Anthony just looked at her calmly and said, “I won’t remove them or interfere. Those who do wrong should be punished. But, Genevieve, must it be done this way?”
She was so resolute and ruthless.
Even Hoffman Group and himself were implicated.
They were not ordinary rivals. There was a secret relationship between them, and only they knew it.
However, Genevieve had no scruples.
She tilted her head. With displeasure crossing her blue eyes, she asked, “I asked you the same question when you insisted on protecting Andrea. But did she get punished? Since she didn’t, I’ll do it myself. Am I wrong? Anthony, now you know that it hurts when it happens to you, right?”
She stood up with a smile. The estrangement between the two gradually became obvious.
Anthony’s heart sank. His green eyes blinked slightly,
He asked, “What about us?”
“It’s over,” she replied.
