“Gen, are you surprised?‘ Louis asked
It was a surprise he prepared only for Genevieve.
The people around them directed confused and envious gazes at them
Genevieve froze for a moment, then stood up and chuckled
“It’s quite a surprise. Mr. Fallon, I didn’t anticipate you coming here personally to inspect the project. No wonder you’re so successfull‘ Genevieve exclaimed
Louis smiled cheerfully and did not explain anything.
Genevieve wasn’t the only mystery guest who suddenly appeared at the program. Louis, a financial magnate from abroad. also showed up.
Standing beside each other, they gave off an impression of being a match made in heaven. They had so much chemistry that it was as if sparks were flying between them.

He saw the video clip of Louis and Genevieve and the comments below the video.
“Gen? Why does Louis address her so intimately? he wondered.
Suddenly, his face darkened, and he sprang to his feet. The sound of the chair scraping against the floor was loud.

Anthony walked out of the door with a cold expression on his face. He called Brendan and spoke in a frosty voice when Brendan picked up his call.
“What’s going on? Where did this video come from?” Anthony asked.
Brendan chuckled.
guess they attended the same program, but it seems Louis went there with the sole purpose of meeting Genevieve. His eyes are filled with adoration when he looks at her,” Brendan replied with enthusiasm.
Anthony sneered, and his gaze grew colder.
Brendan pursed his lips, sensing something was amiss with Anthony. Immediately, he tried to console his friend.
“Tony, don’t be angry. You are divorced. It is normal for someone to pursue her. Try to be more open–minded…” Brendan
said.
Before Brendan could finish speaking, Anthony hung up the call.
Brendan fell silent.
‘Looks like he still can’t get over her,” he mused.
Anthony found the phone number of the director of the program and called the director, speaking in a cold, ruthless tone.
‘Get Louis out of the program that Genevieve is attending!” Anthony demanded.
The director was momentarily shocked. He couldn’t afford to offend Louis, given his esteemed status. Furthermore, Louis invested in the program.
However, he could not afford to offend Anthony either and was in a dilemma.
“Mr. Hoffman, it’s too late. He will attend the program for twenty minutes, but the editing team can cut it out later!” the
director said.
Anthony’s face turned green with anger. He hung up the phone and stomped his way downstairs aggressively.
The mere sight of those men gathering around Genevieve brought unease to his heart.
After all, she was his ex–wife. How could other men covet her?
Besides, Anthony was convinced that Genevieve still had feelings for him. He believed that Louis was just a substitute for
him.
To Anthony, the latter was just as insignificant as a little fly who was not worth mentioning.
However, Anthony hated flies!
Meanwhile, the program continued..
Louis‘ arrival made the atmosphere much livelier. Even Regina, who had been distant and cold before he came, was finding chances to approach him.

Unfortunately, Louis was polite but aloof, constantly keeping his distance.
From time to time, he helped Genevieve carry things and wash fruits. He even praised the interns at Eagle Entertainment, Including Jessica.
Genevieve laughed and spoke with him.
A moment later, Regina walked over with several cups of coffee.
Before Genevieve could accept the coffee, Regina “accidentally” spilled it on Genevieve.
Everyone was slightly shocked.
The room fell silent.
Everyone with eyes saw through Regina’s little trick.
Regina’s hostility toward Genevieve was so obvious.
All eyes were on Genevieve and Regina.

Regina covered her mouth and feigned fear and guilt.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Lawrence. You won’t blame me, will you? My hands slipped and I accidentally spilled it on you,” she said.
“After all, Genevieve is a mere employee after her divorce. What’s so great about her?‘ she thought.
Regina‘ did not think of Genevieve as a threat at all.
She resented the fact that Genevieve drove Rosalie away. If it weren’t for Genevieve, Regina would be the lead character
and would’ve been popular on the internet.
To make matters worse, even the wealthy and brilliant Louis ignored Regina because of Genevieve.

Regina had no choice but what she wanted herself.
Genevieve smiled, wiped the stain on her chest with a tissue, and casually glanced in the direction of the camera.
“It’s okay. I don’t blame you, Genevieve said.
The host hurried over to smooth things over, and Regina stood up smugly.
‘I don’t think Genevieve will dare to retaliate in front of the camera, she mused.
She sat gracefully across from Genevieve, poured another cup of coffee for her, and placed it in front of Genevieve.
Her demeanor appeared smug, as if she had once again gained the upper hand.
However, the next second, Genevieve picked up the cup of coffee and splashed it on Regina’s face without a word.
“Ah!” Regina yelled.
Regina stood up in shock and failed to keep her composure. Her makeup was ruined, rendering her pathetic as she glared

at Genevieve, her embarrassment giving way to anger.
“Genevieve, how dare you!” Regina demanded.
She was so angry that she was trembling.
Regina didn’t expect Genevieve, who looked like a gentle, meek pushover, would dare to retaliate and splash coffee on her right in front of everyone.
Genevieve blinked her clear and innocent eyes and deliberately imitated Regina’s hypocritical tone.
“It was also an accident. You won’t blame me, will you?” Genevieve asked.
No one was willing to help Regina, and they even pretended as though they did not see the conflict.
The camera crew didn’t dare to say anything, but deep down, they were slightly excited. ‘This is such a significant event and great material for the program! they thought.
