Chapter 96
After the dance, Genevieve’s breath turned somewhat unstable, but she felt much better.
Louis handed her a glass of water. After Genevieve took a sip, she looked around.
“Is it about time?” she asked.
Louis smiled. “Shall we head back?”
Genevieve nodded.
o the car they w
The two of them then left, but before they could get into the car, they were stopped by someone.
Lauraine stood there with reddened eyes and looked at them with resentment.
She acted as if she had caught her boyfriend cheating on her.
Louis furrowed his brows and spoke in a cold and distant voice. “Ms. Hoffman, is something the matter?”
Upon hearing that, Lauraine gritted her teeth. “I went to find you, but you refused to see me. Do you hate me that much?”
“We’re not that close, Ms. Hoffman, so there is no need to meet Louis‘ voice sounded low and cold.
Lauraine felt bitterness surge in her heart. “But you know I like you. I liked you the moment I saw you in the hospital. You…”
Her words seemed to have rubbed Louis the wrong way, causing his expression to turn icy.
“I don’t like you. I have feelings for someone else. Louis bluntly cut off her hope.
After she heard that, Lauraine shivered and was on the verge of collag
collapse.
She looked at Genevieve with resentment and stammered, “Is it her? She’s obviously with Tony. Why… What do I lack compared to
her? She’s even divorced!”
Louis frowned, seemingly repelled by her impudence.
He glanced at Genevieve and opened the rear door for her. “Let’s go.”
Genevieve nodded, clearly not wanting to stay here any longer.
However, Lauraine was clearly provoked. She ran after them, grabbed Genevieve’s arm, and ‘spoke agitatedly. “Gen, I’ve been so good to you. Why are you snatching him from me? You already have Tony…”
Genevieve furrowed her brows, attempting to pull her hand back, but Lauraine wouldn’t let go, wanting to pour all her grievances onto
her.
As Lauraine wailed and shouted, everyone at the entrance turned to look.
At that moment, Genevieve felt a little displeased.
She forcefully pushed Lauraine away and looked at her with indifference. “Ms. Hoffman, please be sensible. I didn’t take anyone from you. Besides, I have no connection with the Hoffman family anymore. Stop guilt–tripping me.”

Chapter 96
Her words hit Lauraine like a slap in the face..
Her stunned face turned red with embarrassment, and she wanted to say something more but was stopped by Louis.
“Ms. Hoffman had a bit too much to drink. Let’s go,” Louis said.
Then, he escorted Genevieve into the car, and he got on from the other side. The vehicle quickly sped off and disappeared into the
street.
In the car, Louis noticed Genevieve was not speaking. “I’m sorry I caused you so much trouble.”
Genevieve laughed and joked, “Mr. Fallon, you seem to have quite a few admirers.”
Louis laughed. “But there’s only one person I want to pursue.”
Under the dim light inside the car, Genevieve pursed her lips. “Mr. Fallon, please don’t waste your time on me. I genuinely consider
you as a friend.”
“Well, from friend to boyfriend to fiancé to husband, one step at a time!” Louis smiled, showing no intention of backing down.
Genevieve had already made herself clear and felt helpless about the situation.
The next day, Anthony saw pictures of Genevieve and Louis dancing together.
The two of them were intimately embracing. Their postures looked affectionate, as if deeply in love, while they gazed at each other with deep emotions in their eyes.
Brendan couldn’t help but say over the phone, “Tony, rumor has it Louis has publicly admitted that he likes Genevieve. If you step up, Genevieve will become someone else’s wife!”
Anthony was so angry that he almost threw his phone. His face turned livid, and he was incredibly dissatisfied.
He had invited her to be his companion, but she became Louis‘ companion.
He thought, ‘How can I be worse than that substitute? No, she must be deliberately pissing me off to make me jealous?”
Anthony gritted his teeth, instructing people to delete all the circulated photos.
However, Genevieve didn’t care about these trivial matters at all.
don’t
Brendan couldn’t help but complain when he helped delete the photos, “They’ve danced together and yet you’re here worrying about their photos taken in secret? You’re the only one getting angry!”
Anthony snorted. “I’m not angry. I just think he’s not worthy!”
He thought Louis didn’t deserve to stand beside Genevieve.
few days later, a piece of sensational news was exposed on the internet.
The headline read: [Mr. Hoffman Cheatingl

Chapter 96
Genevieve hadn’t had much of an impression of Presley as he only spent a few days each month at home.
Quincey knew he had an affair but couldn’t prevent it. All she could do was punish an individual as an example to others.
However, it still couldn’t stop the other women from approaching him.
To appease Quincey, Presley was quite generous when giving her monthly allowance,
But this time, the exposure was clearly intentional.
In less than an hour, these search terms disappeared from the internet.
Hoffman Group also issued a lawyer’s letter warning those spreading rumors, clarifying that it was just a business exchange.
This was considered a scandal and would affect Hoffman Group to some extent.
Fortunately, Anthony handled it quickly, causing minimal disturbance.
However, the discussion online was still very heated.
Just before someone was about to discuss how Quincey got together with Anthony, she immediately exposed something even more
sensational to overshadow this scandal.
Soon, a few other trending topics popped up.
