Chapter 254 

Genevieve couldn’t feel any warmth although she was under the sun. 

All she felt was coldness and chill. 

Louis was smiling warmly but his hazel eyes were shrouded in coldness, casting a faint shadow. 

He didn’t pursue her even after returning, showing her full respect and courtesy. 

But he would only give her this kind of respect with the promise that she would be his sooner or later. 

Genevieve’s heart sank. She frowned at him. 

She wasn’t sure whether Jeffrey’s disappearance had anything to do with him, but she didn’t want to act rashly. 

“Louis, do I need to report everything to you?” She sneered because she felt disgusted. 

Louis looked back at her indifferently. “I’d like to hear it if I can.” 

Genevieve pursed her lips and stared back at him silently. Then, she turned to leave. 

Louis suddenly grabbed her by the arm, laughing. “Alright. You still have a bad temper.” 

He tightened his grip a bit. “Open the car door and have a look. There is a gift for you.” 

His voice softened, with only a bit of coaxing. 

Genevieve halted in her tracks and looked back as if she saw something through the tinted glass. 

Her heart skipped a beat. 

There was something in the car that felt dangerous but attracted her attention. 

he took a deep breath and walked over nervously. 

he opened the door and her face stiffened. She was stunned to see Lauraine tied up in the back of the car.

With a tape on her mouth, Lauraine could only whimper with bloodshot eyes. 

She sat there flustered, with her feet tied behind the seat while her hands tied behind her back. She couldn’t 

move at all. 

She glared at Genevieve with an unreconciled expression. Even if her mouth was gagged, she started cursing the 

moment she saw Genevieve. 

Fortunately, her mouth was muffled. 

Genevieve remained silent. Louis, who was exuding an icy aura, stood beside her and asked coldly, “Are you happy? She tried to kill you but you’ve never taken any action. Was it because she’s Anthony’s sister?” 

Genevieve’s heart skipped a beat. The fear of the moment she had fallen into the sea resurfaced. Her whole body was shaking. 

“No,” she denied. 

Lauraine still wanted to harm her at this moment. Genevieve had reasons to retaliate but she didn’t know how to 

do it. 

She didn’t have sufficient evidence. The police might leave things hanging with the influence of the Hoffman family. 

Lauraine’s status couldn’t allow her to be like Andrea who ended up being crazy. 

Genevieve suddenly got lost in her own emotions but Louis chuckled. “That’s good. I’ll help you then.” 

He went around her and closed the door. Then, the driver started the car and drove away. 

When another black Maybach appeared, Genevieve realized that he had come prepared. 

When the door was opened, Louis didn’t give her a chance to refuse. “Get in.” 

Genevieve unconsciously got in the car, feeling a little weird.

days ago and just saw the news online. What show did you appear in?” 

Genevieve’s heart trembled slightly. 

She was worried that Louis would find out about her cooperation with Anthony. 

It turned out to be the much–hyped variety show. 

She breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s just a variety show for divorced couples. The producer is my childhood friend and the show needs some hype. I’m doing a favor.” 

There was no emotion in Louis‘ eyes. He just smiled. “And Mr. Hoffman is willing to waste time doing this with 

you.” 

Genevieve frowned slightly. Only then did she remember Lauraine. “Why is she in your car?” 

Louis chuckled disdainfully and mocked, “I don’t know who leaked my whereabouts. She waited for me in my car but was arrested by my men. I think both of us almost died in her hands. We shouldn’t let her go. You’ll be happier if I give her to you. That is what she is worth, isn’t it?” 

He spoke lightly, with a different kind of sharpness and tranquility. 

He still remembered how Genevieve had fallen into the sea. 

He felt that she should return the favor but she had only dealt with Andrea, leaving Lauraine behind. 

It suddenly occurred to Genevieve that Yvette was the only one who knew Louis‘ whereabouts and had the 

chance to tell Lauraine about it. 

With Yvette’s hot temper, she would certainly make Lauraine’s life miserable. 

But what she didn’t expect most was that Louis dared to tie Lauraine up openly and bring her as a gift! 

She felt a little uneasy. “Where are we going?” 

Louis glanced at her smilingly. “The casino.” 

Genevieve was surprised. Since he let her know directly, she was more at ease.

This casino was not a real casino, but just a place for recreation, 

When they got there, Genevieve was a little surprised. This place was an inconspicuous compound in the 

downtown area. 

She used to go there with Selene. It was a private kitchen. The dishes were quite distinctive, so she had to make an appointment. 

However, this kind of private kitchen was not uncommon. There were actually more private kitchens than high- end clubhouses. Eventually, Genevieve and Selene forgot about it. 

As soon as they got out of the car, someone opened the door in the courtyard. 

A middle–aged man in a suit greeted them. “Mr. Fallon, Ms. Lawrence, welcome!” 

Although the exterior was not very eye–catching, the interior was decorated with great effort. 

Statues of ancient gods were placed on the premises and an elegant fountain was in the lobby. The place looked exquisite. 

“Would you like to eat first, or…” The man’s voice trailed off but Louis got the idea. 

He glanced at Genevieve and stated smilingly, “Let’s look at the person first.” 

As he spoke, he grabbed Genevieve’s wrist and cheekily whispered in her ear, “You know, this was originally Anthony’s place.” 

Genevieve looked up abruptly and saw a smirk flash across his eyes. 

She suddenly understood that Louis was doing this on purpose. 

It would be a disgrace to deal with Lauraine in Anthony’s place! 

Seeing them whisper, the middle–aged man stepped back tactfully and kept a distance. 

Genevieve’s expression changed slightly. Her hatred toward Lauraine suddenly disappeared. 

She felt that Louis was unfamiliar and terrifying.

She was desperate to know if Jeffrey’s disappearance had anything to do with him. 

She wanted to ask but she swallowed back her question.. 

She could only wait and see for now. 

There was a hidden door behind one of the statues that not many people would pay attention to. 

Louis led her through it and down the stairs. There was no darkness or terror like she had imagined. 

Instead, there was a bright orange glow. The wall lamps were retro–style, which looked very elegant. 

It was another world behind the closed door. 

O 

There were just a few card tables, chairs, and billiards tables. The environment was clean without any peculiar smell. It wasn’t noisy too. Everything shouted elegance. 

Those scions who went to clubhouses to gamble would be watched closely but it was the opposite here. 

They didn’t come here purely for gambling but for entertainment or business interests. 

Genevieve scanned around and saw a closed door. 

Whimpering sounds could be heard from inside. 

Lauraine was in the room.
