Anthony stared at her coldly and gloomily said, “The results prove that it wasn’t her. You are mistaken.”
“What? How could that be… Rosalie bit her lower lip in disbelief.
“Are you trying to coax me out of favoring her? She intended to burn me alive!” Rosalie said as tears flowed freely down her
cheeks
Anthony uttered, his voice lower and colder, “She has evidence of you bribing the server to set fire at the banquet. If you want to make a scene, go ahead.”
His words silenced Rosalie instantly.
Her face turned increasingly pale, and her expression changed several times in a few seconds. She could hardly control the shock and fear in her eyes.
She finally grabbed Anthony’s arm tightly and with her lips trembling said, ‘I… I’ll stop, Anthony. Please help me. I just want to stand up for Mrs. Hoffman. She…”
while
Rosalie tried to justify her actions incoherently, she found that Anthony’s eyes turned icy and bone–chilling, as if they were covered with a layer of frost.
She swallowed, and her heart suddenly collapsed like a cliff.
Anthony took her hand and removed it from his arm. His movements were extremely indifferent and standoffish.
He stared at her coldly and said in a warning and stern tone, “Rosalie, don’t cause trouble around me. This is your last chance.”
After saying that, he turned away coldly.
Rosalie looked at Anthony’s back in panic, feeling fearful within.
No wonder Genevieve dared to plot against her. It turned out that she had already got the evidence of her.
Her expression changed a few times, but she ultimately couldn’t bear it and swallowed her pride unwillingly.
Rosalie’s biological son had been found in a secret private welfare institution. The child was healthy. The only flaw was that he could not speak.
Anthony had done a DNA test. After it was proven that the child belonged to Austin, he asked someone to bring the child back.
At the same time, he had also investigated Rosalie’s work in a foreign dance troupe. It was indeed unclean as had been rumored.
However, he chose not to dwell on other matters for the sake of Malcolm.
Chapter 70
This was his final chance for Rosalie.

Genevieve was discharged from the hospital a few days later. Louis specially sent flowers to the company to congratulate
her.
Selene, who happened to be looking for Genevieve, couldn’t help tutting when she saw it.
“Mr. ES
Fallon is really sensible. He is good–looking and has a good family background. And most of all, he is willing to put in effort. I think you can give him a try,” said Selene.
Genevieve was making coffee in the office. Her hair fell forward when she lowered her head. The visible side of her face was clean, lustrous, and calm.
“I don’t want to pursue a relationship anymore. It takes too much energy. Making money is more satisfying,” said
Genevieve.
Selene walked over with a smile, saying, “You’re right. Then give me all the good men in the world!”
Genevieve couldn’t help but laugh.
“I heard that your family asked you to go on a blind date with Aiden?” asked Genevieve.
Hearing this, Selene’s face darkened instantly, and she gritted her teeth in anger.
“Aiden has a girlfriend. I heard they even have a child, but the Campbell family didn’t approve. They even went to my house as a matchmaker and said they would never acknowledge the mother and son duo outside.”
Selene added, “Do they think I’m an easy mark? I can look for other men. Why should I settle for such a jerk? If Aiden was really capable, he should just leave the Campbell family and marry that woman straight away. I will respect him for being a real man. But now, he is just a wimp.”
Genevieve brought her coffee over and comforted Selene.
“Okay. You said that they didn’t approve. It’s no big deal. The Campbell family used to be a little arrogant because of Anthony.”
Genevieve continued, “Some time ago, Anthony spurned him, and the Campbell family started to decline. Now, as soon as they recovered, they couldn’t help but start looking for a marriage of convenience. They just wanted to get themselves on another path.”
Selene snorted coldly and couldn’t help sneering, “Given Aiden’s conditions, why would anyone be interested in being well- matched in status with Aiden? He’s trying to get someone who is way out of his league!”
She paused. Then, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Genevieve.
“I heard that Anthony found a son from abroad. It’s probably true this time. He’s been protecting the child well. The child has barely shown his face,” Selene said.
Genevieve smiled faintly, appearing unconcerned. “Whether it’s true or not, it has nothing to do with us. I don’t want to get involved in that slime anymore anyway.”

She shrugged and sipped her coffee slowly. Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was Louis calling.
“Gen, do you know Mr. Nigel Johnston?” he asked.
“Yes, I do know him,” Genevieve answered.
“I need your help with an introduction. I’m now at Aisling Club. Would it be convenient for you to come over?” he asked.
It was rare for Louis to speak up earnestly and so naturally that Genevieve could not refuse him.
“Yes, I’ll be right there,” she said.
Genevieve got up with her clothes in her hand. “Let’s go have a drink at the bar.”
Before Selene could react, she frowned and asked, “Why does Louis want to know Mr. Nigel Johnston? Is he interested in hospitals?”
Genevieve said with her brows furrowed, “He is engaged in the medical equipment business abroad. There must be room for cooperation.”
Selene nodded, yet she still felt a little strange, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.
The two had the driver take them to Aisling Club.
The sky was not completely dark yet. There were not many people inside the clubhouse, and it was somewhat quiet. Louis was sitting in a booth in the northwest corner alone and watching a male singer singing folk songs on the stage. The dim light illuminated his face, casting half of it into darkness, making him appear imposing and unattainable.
However, he seemed to sense her gaze. When he turned his head, his eyes revealed gentleness, and he stood up immediately.
Genevieve and Selene walked over. The bar owner smiled and greeted them. “Ms prepare a private room for you upstairs?”
Selene often spent money here, so naturally she had a fixed private room.
Quinn, you’re here. Do you want me to
She glanced at Genevieve, and the latter glanced over and said smilingly, “No need. We’ll just sit here.”
Their booth location was excellent.
Louis greeted Selene and invited Genevieve to sit down with a smile.
“Mr. Johnston will be here in a moment, I’ll feel more at ease with you around,” he said relieved.
Selene couldn’t help but chuckle, “Mr. Fallon, you’re the CEO of an international company. You shouldn’t feel uncomfortable
to talk about such a small business. You’re looking for an excuse to see Genevieve, aren’t you?”

Louis lowered his head and smiled. His silence indicated that he acquiesced.
Selene winked at Genevieve.
Genevieve glared at her helplessly and said smilingly, “Mr. Fallon has helped me a lot, and I’m delighted for it.
Louis looked at her gently and said, “Gen is my benefactor. I will treat her well when she goes abroad in the future,” he said.
However, nobody took that statement seriously.
Nigel arrived. He and Genevieve knew each other. Therefore, he greeted her more warmly when he saw her.
“Ms. Lawrence, I didn’t expect you to be here,” Nigel said.
Genevieve smiled and went to shake hands with him.
“Mr. Fallon told me that you were coming, and I thought I’d come over to join the fun since we haven’t seen each other for a while. I hope you don’t mind,” she said.
“Of course, I don’t. If I had known Ms. Lawrence would come, I would have chosen a quiet restaurant. Mr. Fallon, you’re not careful enough…” said Nigel.
Louis looked at Genevieve and smiled, saying, “She doesn’t mind.”
