Genevieve smiled. “We’re not in a hurry for a wedding. I’m still recuperating and can’t get too tired. I’ll discuss it with Louis later.”

“All right. After all, it’s such a big event!” Linda replied happily.

Genevieve flipped through the album..

Suddenly, she saw two people with identical faces in one of the photos,

On the left was Louis, but she had no idea about the person next to him.

She narrowed her eyes, thinking, I’ve seen him before.

Linda looked over, and she turned gloomy instantly.

She stated solemnly, “This is Austin, my son. He died in a car accident last year.”

Austin’s facial features looked sharper, and he exuded a more domineering

raura.

He was smiling, but his smile didn’t reach his

eyes.

Genevieve felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.

“This is Anthony’s brother, Austin Hoffman, the father of Rosalie’s child whom I’ve never met before?‘ she pondered.

Genevieve looked at Linda in silence for a moment before speaking softly. “I’m sorry for

your loss.”

“I know. It’s in the past now. I have to accept the reality sooner or later.” The corners of Linda’s mouth twitched. Her eyes were filled with sadness.

Linda really treasured the album. She put it back in the safe after browsing it.

All the while, Genevieve didn’t go near her.

They descended the stairs hand in hand and saw an uninvited guest in the living room.

Linda looked at Yvette, frowning. “Why are you

back?”

Yvette pouted. “Mom, you didn’t even call me for the barbecue!”

Linda glanced at Genevieve awkwardly and introduced smilingly, “This is my daughter.”

She whispered to Genevieve, “She has a bad temper. Stay away from her!”

Genevieve was a little surprised that Linda was so straightforward.

Linda instantly changed her expression into a smile. “Yvette, you don’t have to come over if there’s nothing special. Eating too much barbecue will cause cancer!”

Yvette clenched her teeth and glared at Linda and Genevieve furiously.

Chapter 142

Genevieve cast a glance at Yvette and recalled the incident of Louis having an allergic reaction.

She planned to completely ignore Yvette.

She looked at Linda smilingly. “Aunt Linda, I’m going to look for Louis.”

Linda nodded.

Genevieve glared at Yvette and then went to the backyard.

Yvette was puzzled.

She watched Louis chattering with the servants casually.

Seeing Genevieve approaching, Louis hurriedly greeted, “Go and have a seat first. Don’t go near the smoke.”

Genevieve handed him the card from Linda. “It’s from Aunt Linda.”

Louis was stunned and smiled. “Take it. Use it as your allowance.”

Genevieve had no qualms about keeping it. “I’m just informing you about it. I’m keeping this.”

She was broke and had to spend on many things.

Of course, she would take whatever was given to her, as wealth should be accumulated from small amounts of money.

Louis looked very contented. He held Genevieve’s hand while walking together, but she was pouting. “Ms. Schmidt is here.”

Louis‘ face darkened immediately.

He was silent momentarily, as he didn’t want to talk about Yvette. Then, he changed the subject, “By the

way. have you seen the document?”

Genevieve shook her head and smiled guiltily. “I didn’t dare to get close. It was the first time I did such a thing.”

Louis couldn’t help chuckling. “Okay. You cover for me then. I’ll do it later!

Genevieve thought that it was a nice plan.

Linda couldn’t help but smile when she saw them holding hands. “What a lovely couple!”

But Yvette gritted her teeth angrily. “Hypocrites!”

Linda reprimanded, “Don’t talk nonsense. If you keep messing around, I’ll ask David to send

abroad.

You

you

“Mom, don’t love me.” Yvette was so annoyed. She didn’t understand why no one favored her.

Linda ordered the servants to prepare desserts in the kitchen. Louis gave Genevieve a signal and

went upstairs.

Sitting opposite Yvette, Genevieve was calm.

Yvette glared at her and snorted. “You’re just putting on an act!”

Genevieve looked up. “Ms. Schmidt, even if you don’t like me, you shouldn’t put other people’s lives in danger as a joke, right?”

Yvette was astounded and asked blankly, “What do you mean people’s lives are in danger? What joke did I make?”

“Louis is allergic to chocolate, but you told me he likes it best. I’m telling you, I won’t trust you again. You’re jealous that I’m with him, and you deliberately harm him!” Genevieve looked away indifferently.

Yvette’s expression changed swiftly. Her lips turned pale.

She was extremely shocked. She looked straight into Genevieve’s eyes. “He’s allergic to chocolate? How is that possible? He likes to eat chocolate when he’s in a bad mood. He…”

Genevieve stood up and uttered coldly, “I saw it with my eyes. You don’t have to explain anymore. I won’t forgive you for deliberately hurting him. I didn’t tell him that you lied to

I won’t let it slide if this happens again!”

She wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t seen Louis eat the chocolate.

But she had that kind of allergic reaction herself before.

She knew it wasn’t fake.

e out of courtesy.

Yvette trembled slightly in shock. She sat on the couch confusingly, as if she had realized something.

She had a kind of emotion that was hard to figure out. It was as if her purpose in life was taken away. She was on the verge of despair..

Genevieve looked at her changes, feeling a little strange.

Yvette seemed upset, tears welling up in her

eyes.

She was holding her chest and breathing deeply.

Genevieve frowned. “What’s wrong with you?”

Yvette looked up abruptly, grabbing Genevieve’s arm. “You’re not lying, are you?”

Genevieve was surprised. “Of course not.”

Yvette loosened her trembling hands and clenched them tightly.

At this moment, Louis descended from the stairs.

Chapter 142

He acted normally. He was only away for several minutes.

Out of nowhere, Yvette jumped onto him.

Louis was still on the steps, so he couldn’t step back.

Yvette came onto him too suddenly.

She pushed Louis against the railing, tightened her arms around his neck, and pulled down.

She seemed to be hugging Louis, but she was actually looking at another place.

Louis pushed her away swiftly.

Yvette lost her balance and fell down the stairs to the ground.

She sprained her ankle. The sound of her dislocated bones was so loud that it startled Genevieve.

Linda happened to pass by and saw the scene. Her expression changed. “What are you doing? How old are you to lay hands on each other?”

Yvette sat there awkwardly, tears rolling down her cheeks.

She looked up at Louis complicatedly with a pale face and sneered, “No wonder you don’t love me anymore. You asshole…

Louis had a disapproving look. He was fuming with rage. His voice was extremely icy. “I have nothing to say to you. Stay away from me from now on, or don’t blame me for being rude!”

Yvette wiped off her tears. She stood up with her teeth gritted, holding her head high. “Don’t worry. I won’t cling to you anymore.”

Then, she limped toward the door.

Louis didn’t even cast her a glimpse. He just tidied his clothes with a look of disgust.

Linda sighed and hurriedly instructed, “She twisted her ankle. Help her to the room quickly and call for the doctor!”

A servant hurriedly followed behind Yvette.

Linda sighed irritably and turned around to look at Genevieve. “The three of them have been fighting since childhood. Austin used to fight with Yvette, and now it’s Louis‘ turn to fight her. Anyway, Yvette just can’t behave.”

Genevieve’s eyes flashed with complication and confusion but soon returned to normal.
