Chapter 142
Genevieve smiled. “We’re not in a hurry for a wedding. I’m still recuperating and can’t get too tired. I’ll discuss it with Louis later.”
“All right. After all, it’s such a big event!” Linda replied happily.
Genevieve flipped through the album..
Suddenly, she saw two people with identical faces in one of the photos,
On the left was Louis, but she had no idea about the person next to him.
She narrowed her eyes, thinking, I’ve seen him before.
Linda looked over, and she turned gloomy instantly.
She stated solemnly, “This is Austin, my son. He died in a car accident last year.”
Austin’s facial features looked sharper, and he exuded a more domineering
raura.
He was smiling, but his smile didn’t reach his
eyes.
Genevieve felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
“This is Anthony’s brother, Austin Hoffman, the father of Rosalie’s child whom I’ve never met before?‘ she pondered.
Genevieve looked at Linda in silence for a moment before speaking softly. “I’m sorry for
your loss.”
“I know. It’s in the past now. I have to accept the reality sooner or later.” The corners of Linda’s mouth twitched. Her eyes were filled with sadness.
Linda really treasured the album. She put it back in the safe after browsing it.
All the while, Genevieve didn’t go near her.
They descended the stairs hand in hand and saw an uninvited guest in the living room.
Linda looked at Yvette, frowning. “Why are you
back?”
Yvette pouted. “Mom, you didn’t even call me for the barbecue!”
Linda glanced at Genevieve awkwardly and introduced smilingly, “This is my daughter.”
She whispered to Genevieve, “She has a bad temper. Stay away from her!”
Genevieve was a little surprised that Linda was so straightforward.
Linda instantly changed her expression into a smile. “Yvette, you don’t have to come over if there’s nothing special. Eating too much barbecue will cause cancer!”
Yvette clenched her teeth and glared at Linda and Genevieve furiously.
Chapter 142
Genevieve cast a glance at Yvette and recalled the incident of Louis having an allergic reaction.
She planned to completely ignore Yvette.
She looked at Linda smilingly. “Aunt Linda, I’m going to look for Louis.”
Linda nodded.
Genevieve glared at Yvette and then went to the backyard.
Yvette was puzzled.
She watched Louis chattering with the servants casually.
Seeing Genevieve approaching, Louis hurriedly greeted, “Go and have a seat first. Don’t go near the smoke.”
Genevieve handed him the card from Linda. “It’s from Aunt Linda.”
Louis was stunned and smiled. “Take it. Use it as your allowance.”
Genevieve had no qualms about keeping it. “I’m just informing you about it. I’m keeping this.”
She was broke and had to spend on many things.
Of course, she would take whatever was given to her, as wealth should be accumulated from small amounts of money.
Louis looked very contented. He held Genevieve’s hand while walking together, but she was pouting. “Ms. Schmidt is here.”
Louis‘ face darkened immediately.
He was silent momentarily, as he didn’t want to talk about Yvette. Then, he changed the subject, “By the
way. have you seen the document?”
Genevieve shook her head and smiled guiltily. “I didn’t dare to get close. It was the first time I did such a thing.”
Louis couldn’t help chuckling. “Okay. You cover for me then. I’ll do it later!
Genevieve thought that it was a nice plan.
Linda couldn’t help but smile when she saw them holding hands. “What a lovely couple!”
But Yvette gritted her teeth angrily. “Hypocrites!”
Linda reprimanded, “Don’t talk nonsense. If you keep messing around, I’ll ask David to send
abroad.
You
you
“Mom, don’t love me.” Yvette was so annoyed. She didn’t understand why no one favored her.
Linda ordered the servants to prepare desserts in the kitchen. Louis gave Genevieve a signal and

went upstairs.
Sitting opposite Yvette, Genevieve was calm.
Yvette glared at her and snorted. “You’re just putting on an act!”
Genevieve looked up. “Ms. Schmidt, even if you don’t like me, you shouldn’t put other people’s lives in danger as a joke, right?”
Yvette was astounded and asked blankly, “What do you mean people’s lives are in danger? What joke did I make?”
“Louis is allergic to chocolate, but you told me he likes it best. I’m telling you, I won’t trust you again. You’re jealous that I’m with him, and you deliberately harm him!” Genevieve looked away indifferently.
Yvette’s expression changed swiftly. Her lips turned pale.
She was extremely shocked. She looked straight into Genevieve’s eyes. “He’s allergic to chocolate? How is that possible? He likes to eat chocolate when he’s in a bad mood. He…”
Genevieve stood up and uttered coldly, “I saw it with my eyes. You don’t have to explain anymore. I won’t forgive you for deliberately hurting him. I didn’t tell him that you lied to
I won’t let it slide if this happens again!”
She wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t seen Louis eat the chocolate.
But she had that kind of allergic reaction herself before.
She knew it wasn’t fake.
e out of courtesy.
Yvette trembled slightly in shock. She sat on the couch confusingly, as if she had realized something.
She had a kind of emotion that was hard to figure out. It was as if her purpose in life was taken away. She was on the verge of despair..
Genevieve looked at her changes, feeling a little strange.
Yvette seemed upset, tears welling up in her
eyes.
She was holding her chest and breathing deeply.
