Chapter 57
Genevieve interrupted him, her tone cold and calm, “Are you scared that I’ll hurt her, Anthony? Actually, you don’t have to explain. Since you’re the witness, the police will not accept my statement if you insist on your narrative.”
Anthony’s
brows furrowed as he looked at her with a dark and complicated look.
Genevieve chuckled and said lightly, “I’m actually envious of Rosalie. You’ll firmly take her side every time something happens to her, strengthening her confidence. That’s probably true love, I guess!”
Smiling, she slowly rolled up the window and stepped on the pedal.
Anthony stood there as he watched her leave. His heart felt as if ripped apart by a thin thread.
ffocation
An indescribable feeling of suffocation flooded him.
It stifled his breathing, making him a little out of breath.
The police arrived shortly after.
After taking their statements and comparing the previous statements and surveillance footage, it was confirmed that the woman was the culprit who ran her vehicle into Frank and Margaret.
to kill someone
On top of her latest attempt it proved she was not a good person, so they took the body away.
However, they didn’t have any clue as to her identity.
Rosalie narrowly escaped the police’s questioning due to Anthony covering for her.
Soon after, the woman’s identity had been found out.
She was a notorious gambler and owed a lot of debt.
However, she wasn’t short of money recently. She didn’t have any record of money transfers, but her extravagant spending
had gained a lot of attention.
She usually drank and boasted of having a daughter who went abroad with a wealthy businessman.
However, no one had any idea as to who her daughter was.
One week later, the charity auction proceeded as scheduled.
Jeffrey couldn’t make it, and Genevieve arrived ten minutes late.
She wore a limited–edition gown from the Starry Sky series, looking cool and elegant. The person next to her turned and smiled at her the minute she sat down.
“What a coincidence!” Louis exclaimed.
Genevieve didn’t expect to see Louis there and nodded in return.
Darrell and Samantha sat at the front. They were seated very close to each other but acted like strangers.

Darrell had expressed his opinions several times, but Samantha refuted them every time.
Hence, their marriage had to continue to be a secret.
Genevieve smiled resignedly as she watched Samantha happily win the bids on a few items.
Her mother would never sell herself short.
Louis saw her smile and thought she liked the moonstone bracelet currently on display, so he raised his paddle.
He said, “600 thousand dollars, once.”
Genevieve stared at him in puzzlement. Louis flashed a grin and winked at her. Suddenly, something clicked in Genevieve’s
mind.
“This amount of money is already too much for this bracelet, she thought.
As soon as the auctioneer finished declaring, another woman raised her paddle and shouted, “1 million dollars!”
Louis lifted his paddle again and uttered, “1.4 million dollars!”
There was little competition for the bracelet at that price. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
However, the woman was adamant about getting the bracelet and persisted in making an offer. “1.8 million dollars!”
Feeling indifferent, Louis was about to raise the paddle when Genevieve stopped him. “Must you have it, Mr. Fallon? Don’t be impulsive!”
Louis paused momentarily and looked at her with eyes as clear as the sky.
“Don’t you like it? I was thinking of giving it to you,” he questioned.
Genevieve pursed her lips and firmly denied, “No, I don’t like it. I rather you give me 1.8 million dollars!”
The price of the bracelet was 200 thousand dollars, at most, but it had been raised to 1.8 million dollars, which was already more than its value.
Louis nodded with a smile and stopped bidding.
The other bidder was elated to get the bracelet, and Genevieve only heard the auctioneer congratulating a woman named
Ms. Stewart.
Genevieve looked around, and nothing caught her eye, so she did not participate in the auction.
However, she privately donated 600 thousand dollars to build a school in the rural mountainous area.
Samantha and Darrell walked around to greet people.
As Genevieve and Louis chatted, someone walked over and said sarcastically, “Some people are just here for the free food. Not only is that person stingy, but she can’t even afford a bracelet. What a joke! I would’ve dug a hole to hide in if I was her.”
Genevieve and Louis froze at the jab.
MMM
They spotted Regina approaching on the arm of a wealthy businessman.

She recognized the potbellied man next to Regina. He was Thomas Hopkins, the boss of an entertainment company.
When Thomas‘ gaze, filled with greed, glanced up and down Genevieve, disgust washed over her.
He started, “Ms. Lawrence, I’ve heard a lot about you. Since you’re the director of Eagle Entertainment, we should have gotten in touch with each other earlier. Let’s have dinner together sometime later!”
The corners of Genevieve’s mouth curled into a small smile, and she said, “Let’s talk about it if the occasion ever arises.”
Thomas didn’t know of Louis‘ identity. Louis looked handsome, and Thomas thought he was a newly signed artist under Eagle Entertainment.
Seeing Genevieve ignore her, Regina snorted coldly and taunted with a dark look, “Ms. Lawrence has already divorced. Naturally, she won’t turn you down, and everyone has a chance to pursue
her!”
Thomas raised his eyebrow and smiled meaningfully.
After all, he wanted a taste of Anthony’s woman.
Genevieve glanced at Regina indifferently and chuckled when she caught her proudly fiddling with the bracelet that had just been displayed on stage.
She thought, So Regina has been contending with me, thinking Louis was bidding the bracelet for me?‘
She ignored her, not wanting to argue with such a woman.
Regina glanced at Louis and said, “Mr. Fallon won’t mind, right? After all, Ms. Lawrence still has something going on with Mr. Hoffman while she’s seducing you on the side. To be honest, I am so envious of her skills!”
Louis‘ face darkened slightly. He glanced at Regina coldly and said in a clear tone, “I’m pursuing Ms. Lawrence conspicuously. It’s not as filthy as you think. Besides, Ms. Lawrence is more beautiful than you are, so it’s useless for you to envy her.”
It was Regina’s first time to be criticized for being ugly. She was so used to others in her circle fawning over her.
It was a heavy blow to be called ugly by the man she liked.
Regina’s face turned pale with anger, and she grabbed Thomas‘ clothes.
Thomas doted on Regina and laughed to smooth things over. “Well, as a celebrity, you still have the chance to collaborate with Ms. Lawrence. Don’t be too willful.”
Regina snorted and looked away, holding Thomas‘ arm coquettishly. “I don’t want to collaborate with a person with bad character and a messy sexual life!”
Thomas laughed with glee and led Regina away.
Genevieve snorted silently and wondered, ‘A person with bad character and a messy sexual life… Is she talking about herself?
Louis looked at Genevieve and noticed that she was calm. Not a trace of anger could be seen on her face.

Genevieve was just about to say something when Samantha came over and laughed. “You must be Mr Fation we want about you from Mr. Darrell Lawrence and there is a project I would like to talk to you about Do you have a moment?”
Genevieve looked up at her mother, and Samantha winked at her, a sign for her to stay quiet
