Chapter 12
Jeffrey was chatting with the crowd, with a distant and courteous smile on his face.
Anthony stared at Genevieve, who was holding Jeffrey’s arm, and walked over with cold eyes as if he was going to devour her.
His eyes were fixed on Genevieve’s radiant smile, and his anger could not be concealed.
He thought, ‘She went to the Hoffman residence to show her regret about the divorce, yet now, she’s having an ambiguous relationship with another man.
‘Is she purposely cuckolding me to piss me off?‘
Jeffrey gave Anthony a cold look and smiled faintly, greeting. “Mr. Hoffman, long time no see.”
Anthony retracted his gaze, reached out for a brief handshake, and promptly withdrew his hand.
“Long time no see, Mr. Lawrence,” he greeted.
A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and his eyes fell on Genevieve again.
Genevieve stood there, her eyes bright and clear, her delicate features flawless. She looked cold and indifferent, no longer as meek and careful as before.
He had never seen such a dazzling Genevieve.
A trace of complexity flickered across Anthony’s chest, accompanied by a hint of unwilling restlessness.
He thought, “How could she be with Jeffrey? The way they stand together is so annoying!‘
At the side, Rosalie’s face,stiffened and darkened as she watched Genevieve reappear.
She could not let Genevieve snatch Anthony away from her.
Biting her lip, she stepped forward and scrutinized Genevieve. “Ms. Lawrence, why are you here? You just divorced Anthony, and now you’re already with Mr. Lawrence?” she commented.
As soon as she spoke, some people around heard her and looked
over in
in shock.
Rosalie’s voice was not loud, but it was clear enough to be heard by the people around. “Or is it because of Mr. Lawrence that you divorced so quickly?” she mocked.
Her words deliberately pinned the blame of infidelity on Genevieve.
Anthony frowned slightly, and his face darkened unconsciously.

He should have Interrupted Rosalie’s indiscreet remarks, but her words also made him suspicious.
Jeffrey snorted, casting a disdainful look at Rosalie, and sarcastically remarked, “As far as I know, they divorced because you intervened in their marriage. Now, who doesn’t know Ms. Stewart’s excellent tactics?”
Rosalie’s face turned extremely pale.
She did not expect that Jeffrey would help Genevieve attack her.
She lowered her eyes in grievance and said hesitantly, “Mr. Lawrence, you misunderstood. I’m not a mistress. Ms. Lawrence must have said a lot of bad things about me, right?”
Her
eyes
suddenly turned red, and she looked at Anthony for help.
However, Anthony showed no intention of helping. He just stared coldly at Genevieve’s face.
Genevieve could not help but chuckle, her eyes extremely cold. She stated, “I feel dirty when I mention your name. Trash belongs in the dumpster. This occasion isn’t suitable for you.”
There was a hint of mockery at the corners of her mouth.
‘What a skilled actress!‘ she thought.
Rosalie’s face froze. She did not expect that Genevieve would dare to taunt her in public.
Suddenly, she felt a little embarrassed.
She bit her lower lip and put on a pitiful look.
Jeffrey raised his hand and patted Genevieve on the shoulder. His deep voice was soft and gentle as he said, “If you’re not happy, I’ll ask someone to kick them out later. Don’t be upset!”
He whispered to soothe Genevieve, leading her in another direction, completely ignoring Rosalie.
Genevieve did not even look at Anthony the entire time. She smiled and said indifferently, “Forget it. Don’t let them get involved with me. It’s embarrassing.”
If the security guards came in, it would be quite a scene and would definitely draw the attention of others.
She did not want to be noticed because of her relationship with them.
Anthony’s expression turned extremely gloomy, and a strong chill enveloped him entirely.
His eyes were sharp and dangerous as he watched the two of them walk away from him.
There was an indescribable feeling in his chest. It seemed like it would explode at any moment.

Rosalie timidly grabbed Anthony’s sleeve and bit her lip uneasily. She said, “Anthony, did I say something wrong? I just feel it’s not fair to you that she had an affair with someone else so quickly!”
The banquet hall gradually quieted down.
Jeffrey took Genevieve to the center of the crowd, and they became the center of attention.
He announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the shareholders of Eagle Entertainment, I officially announce that Ms. Genevieve Lawrence has been appointed as the director of Eagle Entertainment. Let’s all welcome her!”
Warm applause immediately followed.
Even though nobody knew Genevieve’s background, the sudden appointment of a director was not unusual.
When Rosalie heard about the appointment, her face darkened immediately.
She originally came for Eagle Entertainment. However, unexpectedly, Genevieve became the director.
“Anthony…” Rosalie said, looking at Anthony uneasily. Her eyes flashed with panic.
Anthony pursed his lips and frowned slightly. He said in a cold voice, “We’ll talk about your matters later.”
He had not anticipated Genevieve being appointed as the director of Eagle Entertainment.
‘That’s a position with real power. How could she possibly get it? Is it because of Jeffrey?‘ Anthony thought, his expression becoming even darker.
Everyone went up to congratulate Genevieve.
Anthony was drinking, with a cold and heavy feeling in his chest. When others came to talk, he responded with low
spirits.
Rosalie was by Anthony’s’side, so it was natural for others to come and flatter her. Those socialites and
noblewomen also came and chatted with her.
She was immediately surrounded by people.
