Chapter 59
Genevieve had a hunch that Louis was helping her. He was doing it blatantly, even if he had to resort to such methods.
Louis smiled and waved his phone.
He said, “I just asked my assistant to tell Mrs. Hopkins that I bumped into Mr. Hopkins here.”
Genevieve didn’t doubt him. It shouldn’t be difficult for a person like him to get in touch with Thomas assistant at any time.
Still, it was unexpectedly pleasant to be able to break out of trouble like this.
She smiled a little. Louis said with a smile, “It’s getting late. Shall I drive you home?”
Before Genevieve could speak, Samantha answered for her, “Of course. Go ahead!”
Genevieve was speechless.
The scene just now was quickly resolved.
But then, someone had recorded a video and posted it, which instantly caused a stir on the internet.
Regina became the focus of the whole video. Her comments about being a homewrecker almost overwhelmed the
comment section.
Someone commented: (I expected her to be Thomas‘ mistress.]
Someone else wrote: [Disgusting! She pulled the strings to get to her current position, and she even dared to fight with Mrs. Hopkins! Mrs. Hopkins was too gentle on her. Let me do it!]
Another one commented: [And she even had the guts to mock Genevieve. Doesn’t she know that Genevieve is better- looking and more popular than her?]
Someone wrote: Just ban her. She’s so shameless! I can’t believe people like her exist.]
Regina had no idea that she had topped the trending page.
The staff took her away. Before she reached home, she received news that paparazzi were surrounding her place.
She was also informed overnight that she was taken off the TV show which she was slated to act in.
No one wanted to work with a flawed figure who was like a ticking time bomb.
Regina felt like her world had fallen apart. She was at such a loss that the only thing she could do was to contact her cousin, Rosalie.
Rosalie had regained her usual composure, and she only said that she would find a way.
The mother who had helped her murder someone had died. She was only scared for a moment before feeling relieved.
Chapter 59
It wasn’t a bad thing. No one would ask her for money anymore, and it was a good thing that fewer people knew her secret
now.
Rosalie hung up and called Aiden.
She said, “Alden, I have something to ask of you. Regina is my cousin, and she was misled into saying those words. She was just memorizing her lines. Can you help her?”
Aiden was in a dilemma, but he couldn’t refuse.
He said, “I’ll think of a way.”
Alden made use of his connections and resources, putting in money and effort to suppress the trending topic in the
shortest time.
But even until the next morning, people were still talking about it.
It wasn’t very effective.
Regina’s manager had no choice but to hold a press conference.
Regina was dressed in plain clothes, and there were marks of being beaten on her face. She attended the conference with a weak appearance as she explained, “What happened that day was a misunderstanding. I won a bracelet Genevieve had her eyes on at an auction, so she held a grudge against me. She also bullied the newcomers at my company. Also, she didn’t donate any money. I couldn’t stand it anymore, so we got into an argument. I didn’t expect Mrs. Hopkins to get the wrong idea.”
As soon as Regina finished saying that, Olivia, surrounded by her bodyguards, went straight to the stage and slapped Regina in the face.
Regina screamed in shock.
Olivia snorted coldly.
She said, “How dare you speak of others like this? Genevieve donated 600 thousand dollars, which means that she’s humbler and more generous than you. The only thing you ever did was to squander my husband’s money. Have you donated even a penny yourself?”
She pulled off the moonstone bracelet from Regina’s hand and announced coldly in front of the reporters, “As a shareholder of Royal Entertainment, I declare that Regina is henceforth fired from the company. I will also get back every penny my husband has spent on her!”
Her words were like alarming thunder, throwing the whole area into chaos:
Olivia threw the bracelet to the ground, shattering it into pieces.
It was as if she had branded Regina with humiliation, and Regina would never recover from that.
Regina’s face was pale, and she staggered as if she could hardly maintain her balance.
The reporters were frantically taking photos of her, and the flashes were particularly dazzling.
She had to be carried out.

The internet was in an uproar, further cementing the fact that Regina wouldn’t be able to make a comeback anymore.
Someone commented: [So she’s the one who didn’t even pay a penny!!
Someone else wrote: I can’t believe her audacity to talk bad about others. She was the one who used a married couple’s money to get a bracelet!]
Another person commented: [Maybe Rosalie managed to take over, so Regina was inspired by her example.]
Someone wrote: I just want to say that watching this fills me with glee!]
When Genevieve saw the live broadcast, she couldn’t help laughing.
Olivia truly was a brave warrior.
She didn’t care about pride at all. Now, the only thing she cared about was property.
At the side, Sullivan knocked on the table. She came back to her senses and coughed.
She couldn’t believe that she was getting distracted at the meeting.
Sullivan was impartial in handling official business. He glared at her bluntly.
Then, he said, “Well, Ms. Lawrence, you should handle this project. Please obtain it as soon as possible!”
As he spoke, he stood up. “The meeting is adjourned.”
Genevieve was stunned for a moment before she realized that Sullivan had given her a big problem.
She deeply regretted getting distracted just now.
As soon as she walked out, she went straight to Sullivan’s office.
She said, “Uncle Sullivan, I can’t handle that project!”
She took a seat, refusing to back down. Sullivan calmly took a sip of tea and glared at her.
He said, “You can drop that act. I talked to your mother about it. It’s not a bad idea for you to go out these days and lie low. Regina won’t let go of you. She’s looking for a scapegoat.”
Genevieve raised her eyebrows. She didn’t take Regina seriously at all.
She started, “But that project…
That project was a doomed mess. She had suggested giving up on it several times before, but Sullivan declined.
The company they were partnering with had entered the bankruptcy process. There were no projects to discuss with them.
It was just a hot potato.
Sullivan said firmly. “We have to win the project regardless. I believe in you!”
He even clenched his fists and made a cheering gesture.

MMM
Genevieve wanted to say more, but Sullivan had already picked up the phone.
He said over the phone, “Hello, honey. What would you like for lunch? I’ll go pick you up…!

He waved his hand, gesturing for Genevieve to leave as soon as possible so that she wouldn’t disturb his phone call with
his wife.
Genevieve was speechless.
Time was running out.
She had no choice but to pack up her things and set out with Jasper.
The company they were partnering with did indeed have a good project, but the company was just too terrible.
She went straight to the company, but the receptionist smiled and said, “Sorry, but Mr. Collins isn’t in!”
She had asked around before this, and she heard that Michael was indeed in the company. If it weren’t for the slightly higher value of his project, he wouldn’t be so arrogant.
Smiling, Genevieve took a small gift from Jasper’s hands they had prepared beforehand.
She said, “I’m the director of Eagle Entertainment, and I’m here to talk about the partnership. When will Mr. Collins be here?”
The receptionist’s eyes lit up. The logo on the gift box belonged to a brand that she couldn’t afford at all.
Besides, her company was going bankrupt, so she wasn’t so firm in her loyalty anymore.
Genevieve was so generous that the receptionist couldn’t resist the temptation. Hesitating, the receptionist said, “Mr. Collins attended a dinner appointment, but today is a Sunday. Every Sunday, he would stay at Walton Hotel for one night…”
Genevieve smiled. “Thank you.”
