Lauraine’s inner impediment. Louis, was the source of her behaviors then,

When Andrea bewitched her on the cruise ship, Louis had surrounded all of her topics.

Louis was the key.

Genevieve scoffed and stared at Lauraine, who was mad.

She thought, ‘Is she saying I’m looking for trouble for myself? She’s being unreasonable.’

Genevieve mocked Lauraine coldly. “Who do you think you are? Nobody has a responsibility to like or be good to you. What’s the problem with the man you like? Can’t others like him? Besides, did he show any interest in you? I donated bone marrow to save your life. Instead, you accused me of doing something terrible to you. Do you think it’s appropriate? Lauraine, stop thinking too highly of yourself.”

There was no use in remaining courteous now that they were on bad terms.

They weren’t in a relationship where grudges could be settled by smiling off.

Genevieve refused to give in to Lauraine anymore.

She noticed Lauraine’s body tremble, and her face was pale.

Genevieve summoned Jasper and ordered, “Send her off.”

Jasper nodded and gestured for Lauraine to depart, saying, “Ms. Hoffman, this way, please.”

Lauraine, controlling her rage and resentment, didn’t dare to lose her temper before outsiders.

She glanced at Genevieve with profound implication before turning to leave angrily.

Just as she reached the door, she paused and looked back at Genevieve.

She inquired, “Since you’re alive, is Louis, too?”

That was her reason for going there that day.

She wanted to know if Louis lived.

Genevieve replied faintly. “He’s dead

Lauraine trembled, her legs weakening, and she nearly collapsed. She was then assisted by Jasper and exited after closing the door.

Genevieve watched Lauraine silently, finally laughing uncontrollably.

Genevieve mused, ‘Lauraine. She may be vicious, but she appears to love Louis deeply. She adores him, but she made no apologies for watching Louis and me plunge into the sea. In the end, she just loves herself!

Genevieve shook her head and got ready to leave work. She then received a call from Selene.

Selene said, “We’re at the bar. Emilio’s back. We have to welcome him.”

Genevieve was stunned. She hadn’t heard the name in a long time, but she quickly grew delighted.

“All right, I’ll be right there,” she responded.

Emilio Sanders grew up with them.

He was Cosmo Group’s eldest grandson and a dissolute person who enjoyed freedom. He was born into a noble family with privileged circumstances, but he entered the entertainment industry three years ago.

Moreover, Emilio had suffered a lot in the entertainment industry.

In

recent years, he had almost no representative works to present.

Meanwhile, Genevieve arrived at the bar.

Selene and the others were not in a private room but rather in the finest booth upstairs,

The lively bar was noisy and projected a sophisticated atmosphere.

However, a clear and hoarse voice on stage sang a slow sentimental ballad, which clashed with the deafening music.

Genevieve felt that the person was lip–synching. She tolerated the noise and went to Selene.

Selene didn’t drink much, and Brendan sat beside her.

When Brendan saw Genevieve, he greeted her.

Genevieve looked at him and frowned, asking. “Why are you here?”

Brendan sighed helplessly and replied audaciously, “I’m a rich scion. Why can’t I be here for recreation at night? Do I have to work overtime instead?”

It made sense to Genevieve, though.

But she wanted to know why he hung around with Selene.

Brendan sighed in relief. Since Anthony had lost his memory, Quincey had called him personally and asked him not to disturb Anthony.

So, he didn’t dare to bother Anthony, leaving him completely unaware of what had happened aboard the cruise ship.

Brendan rejoiced when Genevieve, who had been missing for some time, resurfaced unexpectedly.

Selene sat there, enjoying herself while mixing the cocktail with a set of equipment.

Yet, she looked very unhappy.

Before Genevieve could inquire, Brendan leaned forward and said, “Aiden’s family went to the Quinn residence to request another engagement with Selene. She’s angry right now.”

Genevieve was shocked and asked, “What’s wrong with the Campbell family?”

Brendan felt horrible about saying bad things about his friend, so he simply sighed.

“Aiden is likewise caught in a bind right now. He wants to get back on his feet, but his mother insists on him marrying Selene to gain control of the company. The Campbell family’s stock is now significantly lower than it was previously. His mother hopes to save the company through her son’s marriage,” he added.

Genevieve gazed at Selene and felt sad for her.

“Selene, what’s your family’s stand?” Genevieve asked.

Selene glanced at her and laughed self–deprecatingly, responding, “My mom is still thinking about it, but I told her that I would never agree.”

As she said that, her clear voice came to an abrupt halt. She stood up and waved, shouting out, “Emilio!”

Genevieve was taken aback and looked up at Emilio, who had come down from the stage.

He was dressed in punk–style jeans and a cowboy hat. His facial features were handsome as if there were dazzling stars between his eyes and brows.

Emilio approached and looked around, eventually focusing on Genevieve’s face.

He suddenly grinned and patted her head, asking, “Genevieve, did you miss me?”

Genevieve smiled, stood up, and hugged him.

He had emerged suddenly, but the familiarity remained unchanged..

He looked more mature than a few years earlier.

Emilio patted her again and said shamelessly, “I know you miss me so much, but you don’t have to be so enthusiastic like some crazy fans.”

Speechless, Genevieve let go of him and rolled her eyes at him.

They had grown up together and witnessed his embarrassing moments.

She was familiar with his character even though they hadn’t seen each other in years.

Brendan had just stopped by to say hello. He had an appointment with his friends at the next booth.

After looking at Emilio and Genevieve, he seemed to feel sorry for Anthony.

He mused, ‘After Louis is gone, another person appears. I feel pity for Tony.

Emilio observed them chuckling and sagging on the couch. In the dim light, he seemed somewhat fascinatingly depressed.

However, there was a huge difference when he spoke.

He said, “I can’t go on anymore. I plan to quit the entertainment industry.”

Selene stared up at him, shocked, and Genevieve was also taken aback.

He swiftly took up the bottle of costly wine beside him and refilled it for them.

“Let’s celebrate my new life!” Emilio said.

Genevieve and Selene clinked glasses with him inexplicably, and they had barely taken a sip when they heard.

Emilio add, “You’re so rich. Can you pay the termination fee for me?”

Genevieve glared at him, unwittingly spitting out the wine.

Selene had swallowed and choked, causing her to cough excessively.

Genevieve carefully returned the glass and said, “Erm… I didn’t swallow it.”

Selene stomped her feet regretfully and scolded, “You, liar!”

Emilio looked at them furiously, particularly at Genevieve’s glass of wine.

He attempted guilt–tripping by asking, “Are you guys still my best friends?”

“No!” Genevieve and Selene spoke simultaneously.

Emilio was speechless.

Selene glared at him and inquired, “How could you borrow money as soon as we meet?”

Genevieve nodded and added, “Besides, how can you have no money?”

After all, Emilio had been in the entertainment industry for so long. Besides, the Sanders family wouldn’t let him run out of money.
