Chapter 30
Considering the bond shared by Aiden and Anthony, it was only natural for Aiden to seek assistance from the Hoffman family.
Genevieve’s lips quirked up in a nonchalant smile. She said, “Don’t overthink it. We will roll with the punches.”
Selene felt more relieved. She replied, “A temporary win is still a win. I’ll have a drink to celebrate. Goodbye!”
Then, she hung up the phone.
Genevieve could not help but smile. Her mood was not affected.
In the next few days, the police made steady progress despite various obstacles. Aiden tried everything possible
but was unable to recover from the situation.
Somehow, something seemed to be stopping him.
He reached out to Anthony repeatedly. However, Anthony consistently avoided meeting him.
Aiden had no intention of spoiling Matthias, but he found it challenging to tolerate Matthias‘ lack of tact and knowledge. However, after all, Matthias was Savannah’s only son. She could not bring herself to let him end up in
jail.
Hence, Scarlett had no choice but to repeatedly visit the Hoffman residence to plead with Quincey.
Regrettably, Quincey was aware that this situation posed a challenge. She handled it with tact, yet she did not comply with Scarlett’s request.
Frantically seeking assistance, she ultimately turned to Genevieve for help.
Scarlett, dressed in an elegant noblewoman’s attire, entered the office of Eagle Entertainment with an air of noble grace, casting a disdainful gaze around the room.
Genevieve gestured for Jasper to pour the coffee. As Jasper placed the coffee on the table, Scarlett could not help but glance at it and say with an inadvertent smile, “When you were at the Hoffman residence, you served coffee to guests yourself. Now that you are at work, someone does it for you.”
Genevieve glanced nonchalantly at Jasper and smiled. She said, “This is my assistant. This is in the company, not
the Hoffman residence.”
Her tone was undeniably friendly, as she held no grudge against Scarlett.
In the past, they had multiple encounters at gatherings hosted by Quincey. On those occasions, Quincey always requested Genevieve’s assistance in brewing and serving coffee to show her respect for Quincey.

Scarlett noticed the impoliteness in Genevieve’s tone, and her face subtly tensed.
Nevertheless, she remained mindful of the reason for her visit and maintained an outward polite demeanor. “Genevieve, I’ve come seeking your assistance,” Scarlett said.
Genevieve calmly took a sip of the coffee before her and replied with composure, “I know. We don’t know each other very well. You wouldn’t be here if you had nothing to tell me. Just tell me what’s on your mind.”

Scarlett was slightly dissatisfied, but she still smiled and said, “My nephew, Matthias, has offended you. I sincerely apologize on his behalf and will personally ensure that he offers you an apology later. Let’s handle this situation with grace and avoid making a spectacle, shall we? He didn’t really hurt you. Why does he need to go to jail? Why don’t you do me a favor and withdraw the case? If there are any conditions, I will try my best to fulfill them!”
Genevieve’s lips curved into a smile as she quickly grasped the purpose of Scarlett’s presence.
She put down the cup and declined with a smile. She remarked, “Just because he didn’t cause any harm to me doesn’t mean he’s innocent. I was lucky enough to escape. What about the other girls?”
Upon hearing her words, Scarlett’s patience wore thin. She slammed the cup on the table and exclaimed, “Let’s make a deal. You withdraw the case, and I can help you persuade Quincey to accept you again!”
Finally, she stopped behaving in a superior and arrogant manner.
She spoke as if this deal was a great opportunity for Genevieve.
Genevieve gazed at Scarlett quietly for a few seconds with a smile in her eyes.
Genevieve wondered, “Why do they assume that I will regret getting a divorce?‘
“Mrs. Campbell, I appreciate your kindness, but I’m not interested in the Hoffman family. Thank you,” replied Genevieve.
After a moment of contemplation, she added, “Besides, if you can persuade Mrs. Hoffman to accept me, why not persuade her to help you get Anthony’s assistance? Wouldn’t that be faster?”
Her innocent eyes held a flicker of doubt.
In an instant, Scarlett’s face turned pale at her words.
She glared at Genevieve as she said angrily, “You’re so eloquent. I underestimated you a lot.”
When Genevieve refused, Scarlett felt embarrassed and immediately stood up to warn her, “Genevieve, I have already offered you a chance, but if you let this opportunity slip, you will not receive another one.”
Genevieve was curious about where Scarlett’s confidence came from to make such a statement.
She did not even bother to deal with Quincey, let alone others.

Nevertheless, she stood up with a smile and glanced at Jasper. She instructed, “Escort her out.”
Jasper nodded. He invited, “This way, please.”
Scarlett’s chest rose and fell with fury as she pointed tremblingly at Genevieve. She uttered, “You-”
Her face became pale. She was unable to catch her breath and fell backward in an instant.
Jasper ran over quickly and asked, “Ms. Lawrence, should we call an ambulance?”
Genevieve nodded. She frowned slightly and immediately called an ambulance.
She reflected on the earlier conversation and realized she did not say anything inappropriate.
She pondered, ‘Why is she so fragile?‘
Soon, Genevieve had Jasper inform Aiden to go straight to the hospital.
The doctor rushed her in for emergency medical care.
Genevieve patiently awaited Jasper’s completion of the paperwork, but Aiden had already arrived.
He was furious at seeing her and immediately scolded, “You are just a jinx. What did you do to my mom? If anything happens to her, you will die with her!”
With that, he reached out and forcefully pushed Genevieve.
Genevieve was not paying attention and hit the wall, which caused pain in her arm.
Her gaze turned cold instantly, and her once captivating features also grew icy. She demanded, “Aiden, what’s
wrong with you?”
Aiden, with a face full of hatred, said coldly, “I understand you may be upset with me for supporting Rosalie, so
you’re going against Matthias. But I want you to know that I will stand my ground and won’t let go of this issue
concerning my mom easily.”
As soon as his harsh words were spoken, the door of the emergency room swung open.
Aiden stepped forward, and the doctor explained calmly, “The patient fainted due to low blood sugar and is now
awake…”
Aiden was relieved upon hearing the doctor’s words.
Genevieve rolled her eyes speechlessly and thought, ‘How unlucky!‘
They all fainted, one after another, right before her eyes.

Lying on the bed, Scarlett held Aiden’s hand weakly. She murmured, “Aiden, it’s her…”
She pointed at Genevieve, who glanced over and furrowed her brow.

After a brief pause, Scarlett inquired with a hint of menace, “Genevieve, will you accept my terms?”
Scarlett seemed like she was going to threaten her by faking an accident if she did not agree.
Genevieve chuckled as Jasper rushed over from outside. He said, “The formalities are done, Ms. Lawrence. By the way, this is a recording of the conversation.”
When Scarlett arranged to meet Genevieve, Genevieve was fully prepared.
Scarlett’s character could not be trusted because of her close ties to Quincey.
She had to be wise.
Genevieve threw it over and looked at Scarlett, who looked even paler. She replied, “No.”
After saying that, she smiled arrogantly and left with Jasper.
Scarlett’s chest rose and fell with fury as she clutched Aiden’s hand tightly, unable to speak.
She wondered, ‘Genevieve acted like a submissive nanny when Quincey was around. How dare she set me up?‘
Aiden frowned at Scarlett, feeling conflicted. He asked, “Mom, were you trying to threaten her by faking an accident?”
