Chapter 233
The middle–aged man didn’t recognize Genevieve and didn’t even notice that Quincey was acting weird.
Instead, he walked into the room with a smile and spoke like an elder to Anthony. “Anthony, I heard you were Injured. Your mother is worried, so she asked me to be your driver. I know some combat arts, so I’ll protect you from now on since outsiders can’t be trusted.”
Anthony glanced at the man coldly.
Quincey studied Genevieve’s expression and thought, “She didn’t seem to recognize him.”
She pursed her lips and said smilingly, “Yeah, someone tampered with your car. Maybe it’s the driver, so it’s best to fire him, but you can be at ease with family.”
Quincey glanced at Genevieve again and asked, “What are you doing here, Ms. Lawrence?”
She had wanted to get even with Genevieve before but had nearly fainted from Selene’s scolding.
Fortunately, the middle–aged man, Edmund Zabel, comforted her, allowing her to get over it and calm down.
Genevieve smiled and said, “I’m visiting Mr. Hoffman.”
Quincey couldn’t help but snort. “How shameless for a guilty person to show up!” she remarked.
Hearing Quincey’s tone, Anthony was about to say something.
However, Genevieve laughed and repeated, “Yeah. How shameless for a guilty person to show up.”
She glanced at Edmund with profound implication.
Quincey felt the spot between her eyes twitch, and her expression changed.
She was, indeed, feeling guilty and risky for introducing her lover, Edmund, to her son as his driver.
However, Presley seemed to lose all scruples since his scandal with another woman had gone public. He didn’t go home anymore and spent his days with his lover.

Only she knew what it felt like to be alone in an empty room.
She didn’t want to sneak around anymore, and Edmund proposed to use the opportunity of Anthony’s Injury to take up a position in the Hoffman family, making it convenient for him to be with Quincey.
Quincey contemplated and was tempted.
However, she didn’t expect Genevieve to be there.
They had met by the hotel’s elevator in the lobby before.
She still felt nervous and terrified after all that time.
Hence, she felt Genevieve was implying something the second Genevieve opened her mouth.
Quincey paled and couldn’t speak.
Edmund said, “We’re all here for Anthony, so let’s all talk peacefully.
He squeezed Quincey’s arm nonchalantly and smiled at Anthony with a fawning look.
Quincey’s expression changed again, but she didn’t dare to cause trouble for Genevieve.
She turned her head away and took a deep breath. She asked, “Okay, Anthony. Do you agree with this
arrangement?”
She was Anthony’s mother, so she shouldn’t be refused over such a small thing.
Anthony’s eyes darkened. He glanced at Edmund and said in a deep voice, “I trust the people around me. The driver is fine, so I’m not firing him.”
Quincey’s heart sank. She asked, “Do you still think it’s fine after all this? I’m doing this for your own good! Your
uncle is family.”
Impatience flashed across Anthony’s eyes, and he commented coldly, “Should we do a DNA test and verify if he’s really your long–lost relative?”
Quincey paled in an instant.

She suddenly remembered that Anthony was very picky about the people he surrounded himself with. Even the assistant, Kenneth, whom she planted, had been removed.
She had lost control over Anthony after he had lost his memories.
Edmund hurriedly said, “She’s my cousin. Anthony, your mother is just worried about you. Forget it if you’re unwilling.”
Anthony glanced at him indifferently and silently.
Genevieve didn’t expect to see a show when she came over, so she just kept silent and smiled.
She wouldn’t leave while such a good show was on.
Quincey gritted her teeth and felt ashamed to be humiliated by her son in front of Genevieve.
She compromised at Edmund’s words. “It’s fine if he’s not your driver. Just arrange a position for him in the office since it’s hard for him to find a job now,” she said.
спо
Anthony frowned slightly. He didn’t expect her to take such good care of Edmund. He informed her, “There is vacant position suitable for him in the office.”
“Nonsense! So many shareholders and other companies bosses slotted their people into the company. Don’t think I don’t know about it. Why is it that they can, but not your uncle?” Quincey argued.
She was furious, for she was, after all, the lady of the Hoffman family. She should have even that bit of privilege.
Anthony’s expression turned stony, and he said icily, “The premise of benefit exchange is that I’ll gain some benefit from the exchange. You should know that. Why don’t you ask Dad about it? I’ll keep quiet if he agrees.”
Quincey gritted her teeth in anger at the mention of Presley.
Fear washed over Edmund, and he immediately smiled and said, “Forget it. Let’s not bother Mr. Presley Hoffman. over something this trivial. I’m fine with looking for other jobs. Get some rest, Anthony. I’ll visit again next time.”
He rubbed his hands, glanced at Quincey, and left with a smile.
Quincey glared at Anthony before whirling around and leaving.

Anthony looked at them with profound implication.
Genevieve was amused.
Anthony suddenly asked, “Do you know him?”
Startled, Genevieve raised her eyebrow and said, “I don’t.”
Anthony knew she wouldn’t tell him the truth, so he didn’t continue to ask.
However, he made a mental note to have someone Investigate this mysterious “uncle” later.
Once the show ended, Genevieve had no reason to stay.
She stood up and said, “Rest well. I’m leaving.”
Anthony panicked and suddenly blurted, “Even if we’re acting, it should look realistic. Remember to come and
visit me often.”
Genevieve abruptly felt goosebumps all over her skin.
She quickened her pace and left.
The minute she stepped out of the room, she saw Daniel come up with a new phone in his hand.
It was the latest model of the brand she was using.
Daniel handed it over and said with a smile, “As soon as Mr. Hoffman woke up, he asked me to buy this for you as
an apology.”
Genevieve paused, feeling moved that he caught and remembered such a small detail.
She didn’t say anything and merely took the phone and left.
Daniel breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and went in. He reported, “Mr. Hoffman, Ms. Lawrence took the phone and left.”
Anthony was injured, but he seemed to be in a good mood. With a smile, he said, “Well, I’m sure my gesture must have touched her. She not only came to see me but also accepted my gift.”

He wondered, “Isn’t Mr. Homman thinking wo mos
phone an apology?”
Under the police’s scrutiny, Anthony’s blood test results were revealed.
The alcohol in his blood was nowhere near that of a drunk driver.
Plus, the car’s examination was also done. An issue with the brake pad caused the brake to fail.
Hoffman Group soon issued a statement saying they would fully cooperate with the police in investigating the true cause of the accident.
Netizens‘ comments took a turn, and Hoffman Group’s stock stabilized.
The next day, Presley came to the hospital with the board of directors‘ decision. He said, “Anthony, you’re still recovering, so don’t worry about the company for now. Louis will temporarily take over your position.”
