Chapter 141

Genevieve’s feelings towards Yvette grew increasingly perplexing as she felt the latter didn’t seem like someone with deep scheming intentions.

Rather, she appeared flustered and rash, yet undeniably adorable.

Genevieve smiled and looked at Yvette. “I quite like you. But you shouldn’t use this shade of lipstick anymore. It doesn’t complement your complexion.”

Her words were genuinely meant, as she had always been straightforward in her conversations, much like with Selene.

However, Yvette seemed struck by her comment, pointing to her lips defensively. This is a seductive color!”

She seemed taken aback, her face paling slightly, more enraged than she had been in the office just moments ago.

Genevieve was at a loss and pursed her lips. “Well… If you’re happy with it.”

Yvette snorted coldly and stormed out.

At the door, the cashier stopped her. “Miss, you haven’t paid for the chocolate you ate earlier.”

Gritting her teeth, Yvette snapped, “Let her pay!”

Then, she stormed off.

Genevieve checked out the two boxes of chocolates. “I’ll cover it,” she said, feeling responsible for the situation she had caused.

She paid for the chocolates and left without purchasing anything else, feeling puzzled as she thought, ‘Since when did Louis enjoy eating dark chocolate? I’ve never seen him eat it before.”

Using the card given to her by Amelia, Louis’s secretary, Genevieve breezed through the card swipe system and returned to the office building without any hindrance.

Amelia breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her return. “Mr. Fallon just finished his meeting.”

Genevieve the door.

nodded and pushed on

Louis looked up, somewhat helpless. “Gen, it would be better if you brought someone with you when you go out. What if you encounter danger?”

“That wouldn’t happen.” Genevieve smiled and handed him the chocolate. Louis was puzzled but accepted it nonetheless. “What’s this?”

“For you, she said..

Louis smiled and placed it aside. “Thanks, but I don’t like dark chocolate.”

Genevieve paused. “You wouldn’t dislike the dark chocolate I gave you, would you?”

Her words carried a deeper meaning.

Louis shrugged. “I’m allergic.”

Genevieve didn’t seem convinced. “That’s such a convenient excuse.”

Louis was at a loss for words.

Reluctantly, he opened the chocolate, broke off a small piece, and ate it in front of Genevieve. “You happy?”

Genevieve raised an eyebrow. “Next time, be more proactive.”

She thought. Yvette doesn’t seem like the type to deceive others.

Yet, a few minutes later, red spots appeared on Louis‘ neck.

Genevieve was genuinely frightened.

She witnessed it and felt somewhat at a loss. “Are you really allergic?”

Louis smiled gently, soothing her worries. “It’s okay. I’ll be fine in just ten minutes after taking medicine.”

He retrieved the medicine from the drawer while Genevieve hurried to fetch some water.

She felt flustered as she thought, ‘Yvette is indeed a liar! Oh, my gosh!”

“I’m sorry, it’s my fault, Genevieve apologized sincerely, avoiding mentioning Yvette’s name, afraid of angering Louis.

Louis smiled helplessly. “I’m really fine.”

“Why did you eat it? If I had known…” Genevieve felt guilty.

Louis sighed and spoke with a hint of indulgence in his gentle voice. “Mrs. Fallon, wouldn’t you be unhappy if I didn’t eat it? Besides, it’s just a matter of minutes. It’s worth it to let you understand me

a bit more.

Genevieve’s heart trembled slightly as if something had touched her.

She dared not meet Louis‘ affectionate gaze, as she had too many worries and couldn’t bear his

affection.

After taking a deep breath, she smiled. “I won’t doubt you anymore. I’ll believe whatever you say from now on.”

Louis looked at her and smiled.

Meanwhile, Genevieve made a silent resolution in her heart to keep her distance from Yvette.

She thought, “That liar!‘

Chapter 141

As the time approached, Louis took Genevieve to Linda’s place.

Linda had received advance notice and made ample preparations.

The welcome ceremony was grand, demonstrating her high regard and respect for Genevieve.

As soon as 1 inda saw Genevieve, her eyes lit up, and greeted the latter with a smile. “Gen, I’ve been wanting him to bring you over to see me for a long time. He’s been reluctant, and I’ve almost wanted to go to your place myself.”

Genevieve was somewhat amazed by Linda’s appearance.

Linda exuded a classical beauty, with a delicate face shape, and thick eyebrows. She looked about. the same age as Samantha and was exceptionally well–maintained.

Such beauty and grace were incomparable to someone like Quincey.

Genevieve thought, ‘What’s wrong with Presley’s taste?‘ She kept these thoughts to herself, showing only warmth and courtesy as she approached and shook hands graciously.

Linda was very welcoming, treating Louis as her own. She had plenty of love for Genevieve too. “Come on in. I’m afraid you might not like Atharia’s cuisine, so I had the chef prepare some barbecue. It’s in the backyard, and it’ll be ready soon.”

Upon seeing Linda wasn’t constricted due to her status as a wealthy woman, Genevieve felt a sense of goodwill toward her.

Louis smiled. “Aunt Linda loves barbecue. She prepared it especially because she likes you.”

To which, Genevieve said, “I’m honored.”

Louis took off his coat and handed it to the servant. Then, he rolled up his sleeves and walked toward the backyard. “Let me check on how it’s going”

He winked at Genevieve.

Genevieve understood what he meant.

She hadn’t planned to steal Austin’s forged will on her first visit..

However, Linda was too enthusiastic, insisting on taking her upstairs to see Louis‘ childhood. photos. Genevieve could only pretend to be interested and follow along.

The study upstairs was vast, occupying almost half of the floor space, with a seamless connection between the upper and lower levels. The shelves were filled to the brim with books, which left Genevieve somewhat astonished. “Do you like to read?”

Linda smiled. “Not really. They’re just for decoration.”

To say they were for decoration was being polite. In reality, they were more for showing off.

Genevieve was speechless.

Chapter 141

Linda took Genevieve’s hand and led her to the table in the middle of the room.

Then she went to the side and opened a safe, taking out a thick photo album in front of Genevieve.

She left the safe open and walked over.

Inside, there were no jewels, only some documents and books,

Genevieve wondered if the forged will was in there.

While she was lost in thought, Linda had already approached with the album in her hand and was eager to open it. “Gen, take a look. This is Louis when he was young.

She pointed to a young boy in one of the photos, dressed in a custom–made suit, standing in front of the garden of the villa, looking somewhat shy, with a slight smile on his face.

Linda sighed and held Genevieve’s hand. “My sister and brother–in–law passed away early. The Fallon family is full of scheming people, and Louis has always been taciturn. He’s lonely and pitiful, but he’ll treat you well. When he talks about you, his eyes are full of joy. I’ve never seen him like that before.”

Genevieve’s eyes flickered slightly.

Linda clapped her hands excitedly. “Oh, by the way, he mentioned that you two registered your marriage in Clusia. Do you want the wedding to be held here? I can arrange it for you. And when you have children in the future, I’ll help take care of them for you!”

Genevieve’s mouth twitched as she grasped Linda’s hand. “Mrs…”

“Call me Aunt Linda.” Linda took a card from her pocket and handed it to Genevieve. “Here, my

bribe.

“Aunt Linda…” Genevieve said instinctively.

“Yes.” Linda exclaimed.
