turdy figure looked fragile. It seemed as if
Anthony stood there with one hand on his stomach, his face a little pale. For some reason, his tall, sturdy figure looked he was enduring his discomfort.
Genevieve frowned and did not quite believe him.
She thought, “But he really looks terrible. Not only does he smell of alcohol, but his face is also pale. Besides, there is a hint of pitifulness in his. emerald–like eyes.”
Meanwhile, Anthony had already walked over to the couch and sat down. He did not pace or look around.
All he did was raise his head slightly. He looked at Genevieve as if he were a homeless animal.
Genevieve could not help but recall that Anthony had saved her from Finnley.
She thought, ‘Kicking him out like this doesn’t seem right. Since we’re divorced, things should be open and straightforward. There’s no need to avoid them. Our social circle is so small that we’ll run into each other often in the future. I have to face that day eventually.
Genevieve took a deep breath, then took the chowder out of the insulated lunch box.
The chowder Jeffrey had brought was the signature dish of a private kitchen. It was fragrant and rich.
It whetted Anthony’s appetite. Perhaps due to not feeling well, he downed the entire chowder in one go.
Then, he covered his stomach and did not move
Deep down, he knew it would not be easy to get a chance to sit down for a meal with Genevieve.
So he wanted to extend their time together.
Anthony said, “Thank you. It’s delicious. Sorry, but I didn’t leave any for you, Have you eaten?”
The starving Genevieve twitched the corners of her mouth slightly and reluctantly replied, “Yes…”
She thought, ‘Now I feel regretful for being merciful. I hope this scumbag before me will get the hell out of here immediately.
Anthony paused and got up to go to the kitchen. Til make you something
ng to eat if you’re hungry,” he said.
He thought, it will take a long time to prepare a meal. This way, I can stay a little longer with her.”
Genevieve pursed her lips, her tone cold and indifferent as she said, “No need for that. I’m not hungry. You may go
o now.”
Anthony’s body froze slightly. He suddenly stumbled and fell onto the couch, not moving.
Genevieve was stunned for a moment and came over, saying, “You’re not going to pretend to faint, are you? It’s actually a boring move!”
Anthony’s face turned deathly pale as he held his stomach, His forehead was covered with large beads of sweat.
Genevieve thought, ‘Maybe he’s not taking it.’
Genevieve paused, then picked up the phone and said, “It’s me. I give you one minute to get downstairs and take him away”
Brendan, who was lying on the bed, quickly got up
He glanced at his phone and wondered, ‘Is that really Genevieve’s voice? Take him away? Who is that guy?

w that the door downstairs was open and that Genevieve was standing at the door, waiting impatiently. “Genevieve, do you live here?” he asked.
He thought, “Why don’t I know anything about this?”
Genevieve nodded weakly and opened the door, saying, “Take Anthony
Anthony away”
The house belonged to Jeffrey. On the first day she had moved in, Jeffrey had found out all the information about the neighborhood for her.
So Genevieve had long known Brendan lived there too.
Brendan was even more shocked when he heard what Genevieve had said,
He wondered, ‘Didn’t Anthony leave?”
However, Brendan immediately made up his mind and decided to help his buddy, Anthony.
So he kept waving his hand and saying, “No, no, no. I can’t carry him. Let him stay here for the night!”
Genevieve chuckled and threatened. “Mr. Satur, I met your mother a few days ago, and she wanted to know where you live now. Do you think i
should tell her…
Brendan was taken aback
It was
as the fourth time he had to relocate. His mother’s concern had reached a level where she disregarded his need for privacy and personal
space.
Brendan took a deep breath and came in with an awkward smile, saying, “I can carry him, I’ll do my best.”
挞
He had no choice but to secretly apologize to Anthony.
He said inwardly. “You must forgive me this time, Anthony!
Brendan went over and tried to support Anthony’s arm. But it felt unusually heavy, almost as if a deliberate force was pushing it down.
He groaned in pain.
Genevieve was still standing at the door, waiting for them to leave the room.
Brendan gritted his teeth and decided to carry Anthony from the front. Although he was not as strong as Anthony, he managed to drag his
friend out of Genevieve’s house,
Anthony leaned heavily to the side, and Brendan could only release his hand.
But in the next second, Genevieve closed the door and locked them out.
Anthony slowly opened his green eyes and looked at Brendan for a few seconds, enough for Brendan to feel his raging anger and intention to strangle him to death.
Brendan guiltily explained, “Genevieve threatened me…
He thought, ‘Genevieve indeed has a lot up her sleeve! I’m impressed by her again!”
Anthony
slowly straightened his clothes and snorted. Then he turned and got into the elevator without saying anything.
Brendan could not help but run after Anthony as he said, “Tony, the car is waiting outside…

Brendan was aware that he had seriously offended Anthony by ruining the latter’s plan.
The next morning, Daniel walted at the gate of Brendan’s residential area with the documents in hand.

When Brendan saw Daniel in the car, he waved his hand happily. “Mr. Simmons, what are you doing here? Did Tony rest well last night?” he
asked
It was to see if Anthony had cooled down.
Daniel smiled and handed over a check and a key, saying, “It’s Mr. Hoffman who asked me to give these to you.”
Brendan was puzzled and wondered, is he trying to buy me off?”
Brendan then said, “Tony is too kind…”
He found that it was a 4 million dollar check and that the key appeared to be the exclusive key to a high–end mansion area.
Daniel added, “Mr. Hoffman said you should move out immediately today after taking the money, and he wants to move into your place.”
Brendan was speechless and thought to himself, ‘Well, you can’t expect things to just fall into your lap
Genevieve left for the office early in the morning.
She was irritated upon thinking that she had not slept well due to the incident the night before.

She called her home and informed them by saying, “I will be returning home for this period of time.”
The weather was somewhat hot in the afternoon.
Genevieve and Louis returned from the set and decided to grab some coffee together.
Louis ha
had booked a semi–private room in advance, where delicate little screens were set up to hide the area perfectly.
Louis was in a calm and relaxed state. He gently looked at Genevieve and said, “Gen. female lead”
Genevieve smiled and said, “Actually, acting is very tiring.”

Louis nodded, thinking g of something. Then he took out a business card and handed it over as he said, “This is the medical research laboratory of my foreign friends. Their latest device is specially developed for brain wave stimulation of the elderly, capable of awakening a person in a vegetative state after years of coma. I was thinking of Mr. Frank Hoffman and Mrs. Hoffman, but it’s rather inappropriate for me to mention this in front of Mr. Anthony Hoffman, considering my relationship with him. If you think it’s appropriate, you can suggest to Mr. Anthony Hoffman to go and find out.”
Genevieve was touched, and her eyes sparkled with joy. She said, “That’s great. Grandpa Frank and Grandma Margaret are always like that. To be honest, I’m worried about them too. If there is a special treatment for the elderly, that would be wonderful!‘
She had learned that the two individuals were quite aged, and the longer they remained in a coma, the worse the situation would become. There was a high probability that they would eventually pass away.
But now Genevieve could finally see the light of hope.
Louis continued, “But remember not to mention me, or Mr. Anthony Hoffman will think I have bad intentions. It’s just a matter of convenience for me. After all, it’s my friend who wants to make money off a cash cow like Mr. Hoffman.”
Genevieve laughed at his metaphor.
She thought that was quite true.

As they were talking, the wind chime at the door rang.
When Genevieve looked up. she saw Rosalie and Cecilia come in one after another.
