Chapter 91
Anthony paused for a moment. He put on a cold and tense expression before urgently saying, “I know that Rosalie hired someone to run over Grandpa and Grandma. Not just now but three years ago as well. Since Aiden was running errands for me then, he was the one who got hit.”
He continued, “She is a conniving and deceitful person. Everything she did to you was probably intentional, and I can’t believe I didn’t notice. I have failed you.”
Anthony pressed his lips together, his inner unease growing, his dark and incomprehensible gaze fixed on Genevieve.
Genevieve met his gaze calmly, her eyes seemingly devoid of emotion.
She had become somewhat impervious to his words and reactions.
Anthony’s heart sank when he saw that.
Genevieve stood up and picked up the information Jasper had obtained from the table and placed it in front of him.
“This is what I found. It should be useful to you,” she said.
When Anthony saw the photo, his expression became subtle and complicated expression, and his jaw tensed for a moment.
“You found this?” he asked.
Genevieve nodded and said, “They are mother and daughter. I believe you understand how to employ this evidence, Mr. Hoffman.”
Anthony had known about Rosalie’s relationship with that woman for a long time, but unless Rosalie pleaded guilty, there was not enough evidence to convict her.
However, he could not help
e could not help but
feel a little sad and touched when he saw that Genevieve had worked so hard to obtain the evidence.
She willingly brought him the evidence, even though his actions in the past had undoubtedly hurt her.
He pondered, ‘She is truly devoted to me. Isn’t she giving me a chance by bringing me the photo?
Anthony became increasingly remorseful and sad. He felt as though fine threads had wrapped around his chest as it filled with pain.
He raised his head. His green eyes were deep and affectionate as he stared at Genevieve and said to her, “I understand now, Genevieve. Let’s marry again! I won’t betray your affections this time.”
Genevieve frowned and froze for a moment in confusion as she held a cup of coffee.
She was at a loss for words.
Genevieve pursed her lips, pondering, “Why did he suddenly bring up remarriage? What did he mean by affection? Did he misunderstand something? How could Mr. Hoffman, whose intellect is superior to most, not understand what I meant? It’s confusing!”
Genevieve set the cup down, somewhat puzzled, but she maintained her etiquette as she smiled at him.
“Mr. Hoffman, I just don’t want Grandpa Frank and Grandma Margaret to have suffered in vain. I have no other intentions,” she explained.

Has he lost his mind? Is there a problem with his comprehension? she thought.
However, Anthony assumed Genevieve was embarrassed.
“I get it! I understand now! he thought.
Anthony took an invitation from his pocket, smiling softly, his face full of tenderness.
“I know. I’ll invite you to the birthday banquet in a few days. Gen, will you be my date?” he asked and left immediately after saying that. He had not noticed the look on Genevieve’s face, as if she had just seen a lunatic.
When Anthony returned to Hoffman Group, he appeared to be a different person than when he had left. The smile on his face was unbelievable.
Anthony had a feeling that even though Genevieve had not agreed to attend the birthday banquet, she would.
At that moment, Quincey pushed open the door with a handbag in her hand. She entered the room in high heels, accompanied by Lauraine, who was also dressed in designer brands.
Jasper moved quickly to make room for them.
“Hello, Mrs. Hoffman and Ms. Hoffman, he greeted.
Lauraine smiled politely while Quincey ignored him.
She snorted and said, “I already know. You went to see Genevieve again, didn’t you? She’s clinging to you even after the divorce. How despicable!”
Anthony’s face darkened as he asked “Who told you that?”
He disliked Quincey’s high and mighty attitude when she criticized Genevieve,
“She didn’t do anything wrong! The Hoffman family has owed her so much all this time!” he thought to himself.
Quincey replied, “When you showed up at Eagle Entertainment, my besties bumped into you while shopping.” She thought of what had happened recently and scoffed as she spoke.
“It’s good that the mute child is gone. You don’t need to send anyone to find him. And get rid of that Rosalie quickly. Don’t contact her again. She still wants to join our family despite her status. In her dreams!” Quincey scoffed..
Quincey could die from her exasperation when a child who would inherit a portion of the family fortune appeared out of nowhere.
It’s a blessing that we finally lost him!‘ she thought.
Anthony’s eyes were
eyes were dark as he looked up. There was no emotion in his voice as he asked, “Is there anything else?”
Lauraine approached with a smile as she said, “We’re here to see you, Tony. Dad’s birthday is in a few days. We should talk about the
arrangements.”
“Dad’s birthday will be as usual. Arrange a banquet and give the invitation list to Daniel, Anthony said.
Quincey nodded and said casually, I’ve contacted some socialites from good families for you. There is one who plays the piano well. It’ll be a great opportunity for you to meet her”
Anthony stood up impatiently, unable to hide the cold expression on his face. “No, I won’t meet her. If there’s nothing else, please

leave. I’m bung” he said
When Quincey saw Anthony’s stubborn face, her expression became sullen, and she said unhappily, “Your father went abroad to see that woman a few days ago. Who knows what would have happened if I hadn’t arrived in time! If they show up again, will you be able to keep your position as CEO of Hoffman Group?
There was a moment of silence in the office
Anthony cast them a cold and stern glance.
De retorted, “Whether I can keep this position is not up to you.”
When Prenley had handled Hoffman Group, the company had not dominated the market as aggressively and quickly as it did at that
time.
Anthony was the one who had gradually made Hoffman Group the leader in the industry by organizing the assets in the shortest amount of time and winning over the dissenters after he had taken over the position.
Anthony had invested in countless companies. Those were accomplished through his own efforts. Even without Hoffman Group, he might still have a po
on Forbes List.
Presley was not a fool. A few words from Quincey would not cause him to relinquish his kingdom.
Quincey’s expression changed. When she realized that her son was not on the same page as her, her chest heaved with anger as she
said, “You…”
When Louraine saw that, she immediately stepped forward to mediate the dispute by saying, “Mom, what Tony meant was as long as he’s here, he won’t let you get mistreated.”
“Right, Tony?” she asked, smiling as she looked at Anthony.
Anthony smiled slightly, looking insouciant.
He did not speak a word
His silence was a sign of agreement.
Quincey would not stay angry since Anthony had given her a way out.
She calmed her emotions and said in a less hostile tone, “I just wanted you to meet her. Of course, you should be with someone you’re happy with.”
Quincey was delighted that Rosalie and the two children would no longer have to stay here as a nuisance.
Lauraine looked at Quincey with a smile as she said, “You’ve been invited to a poker game by Mrs. Patterson, Mom. It’s time. Shouldn’t you get going?”
Quincey then glanced at the time. She had almost forgotten. “You’re right. I’m leaving now,” she said.
She
e just turned around and left, not wanting to say more because she was going to be late.
Lauraine rushed to Anthony’s side as soon as Quincey left. Her expression was pitiful as she said, “Please help me, Tony!”
Anthony frowned, looked at his sister, and asked, “What’s wrong?”
