Louis put his complicated emotions away, becoming gentle and doting as he said, “Yes, it won’t take long.”

He looked at the crowd politely and helplessly, saying, “This is my wife. Sorry, I made her angry a few days ago and have just comforted her. I’ve got to go shopping with her soon.”

Everyone smiled in understanding and didn’t seem surprised by his actions.

Successful people from abroad would value family far more than their career.

Anthony’s expression darkened after he heard his introduction.

He withdrew his hand and sat down calmly.

Everyone sat together to drink and started talking about various topics.

Anthony didn’t seem interested in them, though.

His deep and calm gaze kept falling on Genevieve.

Genevieve ignored his gaze and stood up to chat with a foreign lady.

The lady liked the woman by Louis‘ side, who was beautiful and easy–going with a slight temper, unlike the docile Andrea next to Anthony.

Louis looked away in relief upon seeing that Genevieve’s mood wasn’t affected.

It took Andrea a lot of effort to restrain herself.

She calmed down the turmoil within her.

Her gaze was fixed on the woman talking and laughing with the foreign lady, who didn’t even bother looking at her.

Louis didn’t have much reaction and pretty much ignored her.

Andrea couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Maybe Louis didn’t hear me instigating Lauraine, which is why he doesn’t know the whole situation. Then, is this Genevieve the real Genevieve? Or…”

She stood up with a glass of wine in hand and walked up to Genevieve and the foreign lady.

The two people’s conversation stopped abruptly as if offended by the arrival of this uninvited guest.

She smiled softly and raised her glass to Genevieve. She said, “Mrs. Fallon, we’ve met before, haven’t we? What’s your name again?”

Genevieve’s eyes flashed with amusement. She mused, ‘Does she think I’m not Genevieve?”

She recalled Andrea’s provocations toward Lauraine when she was hung up to die on the cruise ship.

Presumably, Andrea was the one who instigated Johnson to kidnap her.

Looking at the delicate and timid woman, Genevieve suppressed the thought of plotting her death.

A subtle but sharp pain came from the bottom of her heart, which was more like a deep–seated hatred.

But in the next second, Genevieve suppressed her emotions and smiled with eagerness as she said, “We haven’t met before. My surname is… Schmidt. Yvette Schmidt.”

She had suddenly thought of Yvette. Thus, she borrowed her name.

Andrea’s face looked relieved after she heard that, and she didn’t find any resentment on Genevieve’s face. She mused, ‘So she’s either a substitute for Genevieve or she forgot everything just like Anthony.”

She smiled brightly and said, “Ms. Schmidt, it’s nice to meet you.”

Genevieve nodded lightly and continued to chat with the foreign lady.

Andrea couldn’t get a word in, so she left in embarrassment.

After a while, Genevieve and the foreign lady left one after another to go to the restroom.

Andrea was just about to return to Anthony’s side when she saw his dark gaze directed toward the direction. where Genevieve went.

Andrea’s heart skipped a beat. She felt uneasy.

She changed her direction and followed Genevieve to the restroom. When she entered, Genevieve was alone. The foreign lady was nowhere in sight.

Genevieve was washing her hands, the water gently flowing through her slender fingers, which were as delicate and beautiful as works of art..

Next to her was a clean hand towel.

Andrea stood next to her and turned on the faucet as well. “Mrs. Fallon, how long have you known Mr. Fallon?”

she asked.

Genevieve lowered her head and smiled but did not answer.

Andrea suddenly felt uneasy and asked, “Mrs. Fallon, did you grow up in Atharia?”

Genevieve slowly took the towel, and instead of wiping her hands, she put it under the water to soak it.

Her voice was soft and gentle as she said, “Ms. Thomson, you’re very curious. Is it because you’re feeling guilty of something?”

Andrea’s expression changed instantly as she turned toward Genevieve.

She exclaimed inwardly, ‘Nobody introduced me. So how does she know my surname is ‘Thomson‘?”

Genevieve’s smile gave people the chills.

Her smile was very cold.

Andrea’s eyes flickered as she asked, “Are you Genevieve?”

Genevieve squeezed the water from the towel and looked sideways at Andrea, smiling brightly. She replied, “No, I’m a vengeful ghost.”

She pretended to be mysterious. Andrea’s body trembled slightly as if she was frightened.

Needless to say, Andrea wouldn’t forget what she did back then.

She never thought anyone would mention it again in her life. She had finally reached a new status in life, but retribution had come searching already.

She stepped back abruptly and was about to turn around to leave.

Genevieve quickly pressed the wet towel over Andrea’s nose and mouth from behind.

Andrea fearfully struggled, but Genevieve pushed a hard, cylindrical–shaped object against her back.

Andrea trembled in horror.

She didn’t dare to struggle.

Andrea trembled as Genevieve coldly said, “Are you afraid? Ms. Thomson, I have missed you every day, and I believe you feel the same. Isn’t it uncomfortable not being able to breathe? It’s all right. It’ll be over soon.”

Her tone was gentle as if coaxing a baby to sleep.

However, her beautiful eyes were filled with coldness.

Her pent–up hatred surged forward.

Genevieve trembled slightly; she was feeling excited.

She couldn’t wait to return the favor, but she still didn’t think it was enough.

Compared with this, what she had gone through was more terrifying and deadlier.

Genevieve’s eyes welled up.

The swirling tide of emotions almost trapped her.

The air in Andrea’s mouth disappeared little by little, and the cold, suffocating feeling drowned her like a tide.

Genevieve’s action was simple and quick. Andrea fainted in just five minutes.

Andrea wasn’t dead.

She let go and looked at Andrea lying on the ground, her face pale and eyes closed.

She smirked, regaining her senses.

She took out a nylon rope from a cleaning bag nearby and tied Andrea’s hands together.

She gagged Andrea while she was half–conscious.

Then, Genevieve dragged her to the window like a pile of garbage.

The high–rise windows on the 22nd floor did not have protective nets.

The moment Andrea was suspended in the air, she seemed to sense some danger. She suddenly opened her eyes and struggled violently…

It was the fear of standing unsteadily on top of a high–rise building and the panic of being weightless in the air. Despair gnawed at every inch of her bones like a poisonous snake.

She was so scared that she kept looking up at Genevieve, shaking her head and crying.
