Chapter 84
Genevieve had a slightly stunned expression on her face.
It was the second time she had seen them appear together.
Last time at the hospital, Rosalle went on a tirade, and Cecilia was there, even though she acted like she was a passerby.
However, they knew each other.
An idea ran
ran through Genevieve’s mind, but for a moment, it did not catch on.
Cecilia was Aiden’s woman, and Rosalie had always been on good terms with Aiden.
It should be normal for Cecilia and Rosalie to know each other.
However, Cecilia’s identity was undisclosed. Why would Aiden introduce her to his friends rashly?
Genevieve had the nagging feeling that something was wrong.
Louis noticed her staring blankly into space and waved his hand in her face,
“Gen, what’s wrong?” he asked.
Genevieve withdrew her gaze and smiled as she replied, “Nothing. I just saw an acquaintance.”
Louis asked, “Would you like to say hello?”
“No, it’s fine. We’re not close,” she said.
Genevieve smiled. They talked about something else, and Louis got up to take a phone call.
Genevieve went to the bathroom
When she came back, she could pass by the table where Rosalie and Cecilia were and listen to their conversation.
Rosalie said angrily, “2 million dollars? What an exorbitant price. Are you or your father worth 2 million dollars?”
Although Cecilia looked young and immature, she reacted calmly,
She lowered her head and took a sip of coffee before she said with a cold smile, “The secret I know is worth 2 million dollars.
“My father got into a car accident and fell into a vegetative state because he was doing the dirty work for you. You spent 100 thousand dollars to shut my family up but also condescendingly said you pitied us. My mother exhausted herself trying to earn money to pay the medical fees and send me to school and eventually died the year before. If it weren’t for you, my family wouldn’t have been destroyed!”
Rosalie’s face darkened with anger. She stared at Cecilia and sneered. “Your father took my money to do the things I paid him for. And yet he screwed it up. Giving your family 100 thousand dollars is already good enough. Don’t push your luck. Your dad’s in a vegetative state, which is already lucky enough. If he wakes up, he’ll go to jaill Do you dare to tell anyone about what I did? You’ve been with Alden for years. Does he know you’re the daughter of the man who had hit him?”
Cecilia’s expression changed slightly, and her eyes darkened a little.
Rosalie twirled the ends of her hair with her fingertips smugly. She squinted at Austin and said with a smile, “He’d hate you if he knew! How dare you threaten me? Cecilia, you still have to be practical. Even if you want to take a shortcut, you should try digging it from men. Always threatening me is not a good habit.
She stood up and smiled at the little girl she completely looked down on.
Chapter 84
“I remember that after the car accident, your father wasn’t treated on time which caused him to fall into a vegetative state. Do you know why happened?” Rosalie looked at her calmly and said word by word, “It was Aiden’s order. He said the doctors didn’t have to go to a lengths to save him, so your father was left at the door of the emergency room all night.”
She couldn’t help laughing, oppreciating the sudden change in Cecilia’s expression. She shook her head and then swaggered out of there
Cecilia’s Innocent facial features were completely y stiff n
scared and didn’t know what to do.
and gloomy. Her whole body was tense as if she had suffered a great shock.
Genevieve stood in the corridor, watching Rosalie leave and Cecilia sitting there motionless.
She was also shocked.
‘Car accident? Vegetative state? Alden? she thought.

She felt that she couldn’t digest all that information she had just learned for a moment. It was like she had learned this great secret by accident and didn’t know what to do.
Louis texted her and asked: [Do you need help?]
She hurriedly replied: [No need. I be right back.]
She sorted out her thoughts and saw Cecilia standing up to leave as soon as she walked out.
The moment they looked at each other, Cecilia’s expression changed
She knew Genevieve had heard everything.
Genevieve walked over as if nothing had happened, but Cecilia grabbed her arm. She looked a little nervous and uncertain albeit her calm expression as she asked, “Ms. Lawrence, what did you hear?”
Just as Genevieve was about to speak, she saw Louls come out
He was slightly stunned for a moment when he saw the two of them and then looked at Genevieve gently. “I was worried, thinking about whether you were in trouble. Fortunately, you’re fine.”
Genevieve was elegant and said naturally with a smile, “I met someone I knew on the way, so we chatted for a while, which kept me from returning.”
Louis looked down at his watch and said calmly. It’s almost time. Shall I take you home?”
Genevieve nodded.
Cecilia wanted to say something else, but Genevieve didn’t give her the chance and left immediately with Louis.
She was not interested in the secret between Cecilia and Rosalie, so she wouldn’t have anything to do with them.
Cecilia became Alden’s kept woman at a young age and even gave birth to a child. This obviously meant she wasn’t a person with good character
It would be better to stay away
Fortunately. Louis didn’t ask much on the way back. They naturally joked and talked about the project and soon arrived at Eagle Entertainment’s building
Louis opened the door for her. Genevieve got out of the car and waved as he drove away.
But as soon as she entered the company, she saw Lauraine standing there at the reception desk and looking at her sadly.
Chapter 84
Genevieve smiled and walked over.
“Lauraine, when did you come here? Do you need something from me?” che asked.

Lauraine was very unhappy and sald bluntly, “Gen, why are you going out alone with Louis? Don’t you know you should avoid arousing suspicion? Why did he open the door for you? You will be misunderstood if you two are frequently seen together like this. Don’t you feel guilty toward my brother?”
Genevieve stopped smiling and looked at her quietly. Her attitude changed, and it felt like she was drawing a line between them. I’ve told you many times that I already divorced him long ago. I don’t need to feel guilty toward him no matter who I’m with!”
Her initial impression of Lauraine was that she was enthusiastic and innocent. But now, it seemed that she was overly innocent to the point of being rather ignorant.
But she didn’t have to coax the daughter of the Hoffman family. It would be good if they became friends, but it wasn’t a big deal if they couldn’t.
Lauraine’s face turned pale. She looked as if she was in pain after being betrayed. “Gen, how can you say that? My brother hasn’t forgotten you, his old love, yet here you are spending time with the man I’ve set my sights on. You’ve really disappointed me!”
The receptionist couldn’t help but pipe up to defend Genevieve, “Mr. Fallon has been wooing Ms. Lawrence since he returned home. They have known each other for a long time, but Ms. Lawrence never accepted his feelings. Why are you speaking like she had interfered in your relationship?”
Lauraine’s expression froze slightly. She bit her lower lip and was about to cry out of grievance. She looked at Genevieve with tearful eyes, waiting for her to say something nice to coax her.
But Genevieve just glanced at her and looked at the receptionist gently. “I
“Yes, Ms. Lawrence,” the receptionist replied
Seeing that
a meeting to attend. See Ms. Hoffman off.”
she was about to leave, Lauraine got anxious and hurriedly
ly ran after her.
“Gen, can you promise me not to see Louis again? I feel that there is something wrong with the way he looks at you. There’s no way he will like you for real. Please stay away from him…” she begged.
