Lucas said calmly.

Genevieve looked at him in shock and said, “But…”
But it was unfair to take advantage of him like this.
Lucas smiled and said in a calm and gentle voice, “I’ve promised you to find Jeffrey for you. Now that I have the clues, how can we just ignore them? Let’s do what Carrie told you, and let her relax her vigilance. Finding your brother is the most important thing.”
and he continued, “Let’s get engaged, if that’ll give her away.”
Genevieve paused, not expecting him to be so blunt.
She felt a little apologetic.
“But it’s unfair to you, Professor Simpson…”
“Genevieve, do you like me?” Lucas turned to look at her. His dark eyes were calm, but there were turbulent emotions in them.
His calm voice sounded as if he was just talking casually about the weather today.
But only he knew that her answer would mean life or death, hanging over him like the Sword of Damocles.
He waited for a result.
Genevieve looked down and felt a little panicked.
“Professor Simpson, I take you as my friend. I don’t…” She explained nervously, not wanting to cause ambiguity.
“I don’t want to take advantage of your love to get what I want.” she finally said.
Lucas was innocent.
He could help her, which she was very grateful for, but she couldn’t ask him for more.

Lucas smiled and was relieved. He said cheerfully, “Since you don’t like me and take me as your friend, why can’t you take advantage of me? In that case, you don’t have to feel guilty and I can help you with every reason. After all, there’s no such thing as unfairness among friends.”
He always had a way of lifting people’s dignity.
Genevieve breathed a sigh of relief. She felt close to Lucas in her heart, but she didn’t dare to get closer to him considering propriety.
“Thank you. When this thing is over, I owe you a big debt of gratitude.”
“You’re welcome. Don’t mention it. We’re friends.”
Lucas smiled lightly and looked at ease.
After the two of them confided to each other, their engagement was not something difficult to say.
Their relationship went further, and Lucas sent flowers and gifts to the company.
It was almost like an official announcement.
Everyone now knew that Lucas and Genevieve were dating.
Bill was even happier, and he let the cook at home send her nutritious meals and dessert.
He obviously took her as a family.
Bill’s birthday party was held in their own clubhouse, so that their friends and relatives could get together.
There were quite a few of them. Hundreds of people came from all over the place..
At first, Genevieve thought it was an ordinary family dinner, and now it made her unprepared.
Lucas squeezed her hand with a smile and said, “Let’s go in and say hello. Don’t be embarrassed. Those relatives don’t remember people well.”
Genevieve was surprised to hear him say so.
Soon, she knew why.

A middle–aged man, who was joking and chatting behind Bill, couldn’t help laughing and waving his hand when he saw Lucas and Genevieve.
He particularly smiled at Genevieve and said, “You look more beautiful than the last time we met!”
Another man echoed, “Aren’t you taller than the last time we met? And thinner!”
Genevieve was speechless.
She looked at Lucas in surprise.
Lucas calmly signaled her not to think too much. Such things happened all the time.
Bill looked at his friend speechlessly and waved to Genevieve with a smile, then he introduced her to his friends, “This is Ms. Lawrence, Lucas‘ girlfriend and they will be engaged soon!”
“Oh, I see. No wonder she looks so familiar. Ms. Lawrence, you look prettier every time…” one of Bill’s friends said.
“That’s right, Ms. Lawrence. You were already so pretty when we met last time, and look at you now! How gorgeous you are! I will send you a big gift after the engagement!” the other man gushed to her.
Bill rolled his eyes and glanced at Lucas. “Why don’t you take Ms. Lawrence to eat something and have fun?”
“Yes, father.” Lucas took Genevieve’s hand and left here.
Genevieve couldn’t help laughing and said, “Have those two lost their memory? I wonder if I’ve seen them before since they said as if it were real.”
Lucas smiled and said, “They don’t have a good memory, but they are afraid that others find it out. So, they pretend to be familiar with everyone…”
Genevieve smiled and nodded.
So that was the reason.
Not far away, a woman dressed sexily and sophisticated mingled with the crowd.
If Lucas hadn’t stared at her for a few seconds, Genevieve didn’t even recognize him.

“Is that Robbin?” Genevieve asked uncertainly.
“Yes.” Lucas‘ voice was cold and he bit his lips.
Although they weren’t close, he understood the difficulty of Robbin.
Every choice she made was forcing herself further down the slippery slope.
He couldn’t bear to see her like that but he could do nothing.
Because every time he reached out to help her, she would always choose to listen to Carrie.
Robbin walked over leisurely, wearing heavy makeup, which was totally different from her cold and light style before.
“My brother is here. Oh, Mrs. Simpson is also here?”
She looked at Genevieve with an unfathomable smile.
Genevieve frowned at the address and said nothing.
Since their grudge was ended last time, Robbin would not retaliate in private, but they couldn’t get back to how they were before.
Robbin didn’t care about Genevieve’s attitude. She looked at Lucas affectionately and said, “I heard that you’re about to get engaged. I haven’t congratulated you yet. When we set the banquet here, I will decorate the venue for you myself. It must be even grander than Daddy’s birthday banquet.”
Lucas‘ lips picked up slightly in the corner and he said, “Thank you then.”
Robbin smiled with ease and said, “No need, we are a family. By the way, Mom was looking for Ms. Lawrence just now and said that she wanted to inquire about her domestic relatives, so she could invite them over together.”
Genevieve’s smile stiffened slightly.
She didn’t want to involve every relative she had in the country.
Otherwise Carrio would be ma

But she couldn’t show it.
Lucas chuckled, “It’s just an engagement. Don’t bother. For the wedding, Genevieve and I are going abroad to hold another one.”
Robbin raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “That’s your business. I’ll see if the wine is enough.”
As she said this, she didn’t go in Bill’s direction, but turned around and took care of these trivial matters.
Genevieve looked at her figure and frowned.
Lucas explained softly, “Since she has left the Simpson family, she can’t show up in front of Father again. Otherwise, it will be breaking the rules.”
Genevieve didn’t know the rules, but she nodded.
Soon, someone came to greet Lucas, and he couldn’t get away.
Genevieve made an excuse and sat aside.
After a while, Robbin came over again.
She looked at Genevieve with two deep eyes.
When Genevieve was about to get uncomfortable by her staring, Robbin said with a smile, “Mom’s waiting for you in the private room next door…”
