Distracted, Quincey nodded. “I almost forgot about it. Your dad brought it over. Remember to bring it home with
you.”
“Where did Dad get it?” Anthony asked.
“He hired an overseas specialist. It’s quite useful. After all, you are awake. It’s clear your dad still loves you,” Quincey replied.
Bitterness filled Quincey’s heart. Unfortunately for her, Presley’s attitude toward her wasn’t as pleasant as it
used to be.
Anthony nodded, falling silent momentarily. “There’s no hurry to cancel the engagement.”
“How can you not be in a hurry?” Quincey questioned.
“Mom, who will be the woman that Dad will agree for me to marry?” Anthony probed.
Presley would consider whether the woman’s background would be in the best interest of the Hoffman Group while being on par with the Hoffman family. Most importantly, she needed to be someone who could reverse Hoffman Group’s recent sharp decline in reputation.
Anthony said slowly, “Genevieve is the best candidate.”
Quincey was shocked, almost jumping up from her seat. “No, absolutely not!”
She was unable to control Genevieve. Hence, she couldn’t agree to this suggestion.
Anthony stopped talking and looked at her calmly. “Have a good rest.”
He understood that everyone had their motives.
When Anthony went downstairs, the Thomson family had already left.
Presley sat there, waiting for him. He wanted to have a chat with his son.
So, when Anthony arrived, Presley said, “There’s something you need to know. Louis is back.”

Anthony froze, lifting his head abruptly.
Meanwhile, Genevieve watched TV with Monica at the hospital, occasionally drifting off. Monica noticed her distraction. With a smile, she told Genevieve to attend to her own affairs.
Genevieve felt sorry for Monica. If she hadn’t gone out to answer the phone, no one would have dared to bully
Monica.
Hence, she had taken care of Monica obsequiously at the hospital recently.
Monica sighed. “I’m bored out of my mind, staying in the hospital for so long. I haven’t seen my sisters from the village for a long time. Tell your dad that I need to go back to the village.”
Genevieve frowned. “Grandaunt Monica, why are you in such a hurry to go back? The conditions back in the village will not be as good as they are here. You should wait until you recover before deciding!”
“Nobody knows I’m living in such a good hospital. When I get better, no one will believe me. I have to now and tell them about this!” The more Monica talked, the more excited she became. She picked up the phone, wanting to call Darrell and Samantha and get them to send someone to bring her home.

back
Darrell and Samantha rushed over in a hurry. They tried to persuade Monica otherwise, to no avail.
In the end, they agreed to let Monica go home after a month. At least she had to wait until the doctor gave her the green light before she could leave.
Monica had no choice but to agree with them. But she refused to stay in the hospital anymore, so Darrell immediately took her home without objections. After all, it was no big deal for him to reschedule his matters.
When Genevieve took time to go to Lauraine’s ward on the first floor again, she noticed an increase in bodyguards.
The woman wondered, ‘Is she trying to deter me? I’m not stupid. Others will have leverage over me if I do anything to her here.‘
Genevieve just wanted to see how Lauraine was recovering.
Work piled up at the company because Jeffrey wasn’t around.

Genevieve went to the office and took care of things without stopping.
According to Eric from the project department, they could kick start the TuringTech Innovations project already.
Jacinta had already made preparations.
Genevieve didn’t tarry and assigned someone to keep an eye on the project.
In the evening, the video conference of the TuringTech Innovations project began with all participants present. They were Jacinta, Genevieve, Anthony and the project leaders from the three companies.
The importance of this project to everyone involved was evident. The initial plans for the project were kept confidential, with only the three of them aware of the details.
The video conference lasted until 9 p.m., and the tension reached its breaking point.
Anthony was businesslike from beginning to end, and even Jacinta felt more confident.
Soon, the conference was over.
Genevieve got the driver to send her back to the penthouse on that chilly night.
She was exhausted. The butler of the community welcomed her in and pressed the elevator button for her.
Genevieve nodded in gratitude before leaning against the elevator.
The light shrouded her warmly as soon as the elevator arrived.
She lowered her head and casually entered the password.
The man hugged her from behind. There was a chill to his body.
The warm cedar fragrance enveloped her, saturating her senses. Instantly, she knew exactly who this man was.
Genevieve froze as she quickly regained her senses.
Her penthouse door opened at the same time.
She was about to turn around and push the man away when the man pushed her in domineeringly and closed

the door.
His figure stood tall over her as a tremendous sense of pressure washed over her.
Genevieve’s voice was cold and distant. “Anthony, are you crazy?”
It seemed like she was going to grab the vase beside her and smash it on his head.
She looked at Anthony indifferently.
Anthony didn’t move. He just hugged her waist tightly and pulled her closer.
The man finally gave in to his wish to see her after holding it in for many days. “Genevieve, why don’t you continue to use me? You can do whatever you want.”
The amnesiac Anthony was far more rational, dominant, and prideful than the Anthony of the past.

But now, his memory had returned. The deep affection that was hidden in him had now controlled his life once again. He couldn’t help but miss her, want to see her, and get close to her.
Seeing Genevieve through the video did nothing to help with his condition.
He came over straight after leaving the company, not having anywhere else to go.
If Anthony didn’t come, Genevieve wouldn’t come to him either. By then, both of them would be officially over.
Genevieve pushed him away with a frosty expression. “Why should I use you? Leave before I get angry.”
Anthony paused and gazed at her with deep eyes. “Gen, my memories have returned.”
Genevieve was shocked. She looked at him without speaking.
She suddenly recalled that the two of them parted unhappily before Lauraine’s ward. Genevieve had vaguely sensed something was wrong with Anthony since then.
Anthony put his forehead on hers and said huskily, “I remembered everything, Gen. Give me another chance, okay?“,
Genevieve felt an indescribable pain in her chest that made her uncomfortable.

She seemed to have never noticed that in the past, Anthony would call her “Gen,” and the amnesiac Anthony would only call her “Genevieve.”
Genevieve pushed him away and smiled brightly. “Anthony, it’s none of my business whether your memories returned or not. What happened in the past can’t be forgotten!”
There was no relationship between them now.
“Is it because of Louis?” Anthony’s voice was deep and frosty.
Genevieve fixed her gaze on him.
Anthony pursed his lips. “Louis is back. Or, to put it another way, Austin is back.”
He looked pained and conflicted as if he had fallen from a great height, losing his cool.

Presley told him that Louis was Austin, shocking Anthony..
