Too bad. M Lawrence’s feelings for hins had been for nothing, Daniel thought. He pursed his lips and said with

a un “so adorable”

Jasper brought over the coffee after Genevieve hinted with a raised eyebrow, then left.

Genevieve gradually relaxed. As she stroked over Goldie’s fur, she asked, “What’s up with Anthony? Why did he

want me to go meet him?”

Daniel’s expression turned solemn as he explained, “Mr. Hoffman seems to have lost some memories. He’s been

isking about you and his past with you since yesterday. Today, he instructed me to pass on this message.”

Genevieve squinted, pondering, “So what does he want? Did something I said yesterday bother him? But he seemed calm yesterday, not even showing any reaction.” Eventually, she managed to say, “He’s just sick. He should be sent to the psychiatric clinic for a few days”

Daniel refrained from joining in the scolding. After some hesitation, he disclosed, “The banquet on the cruise ship was actually Mi, Hoffman’s effort for you. He even arranged surprises like the fireworks show and a gift to apologize to you. Originally, his plan was to propose to you.”

After he finished speaking, the office fell into a deadly silence.

Genevieve’s expression turned somber as she lowered her head, gently caressing Goldie’s fur, seemingly oblivious to the words she had just heard.

Unfortunately, she was already on the verge of dying at that time. The sound of fireworks only intensified her fear and despair.

Daniel then said in a low tone, “He ordered everyone off the cruise ship when he realized you were missing. He nearly fell into the sea when confronting Johnson, and it was Andrea who saved him in time. Ms. Lawrence, Mr.

Hoffman genuinely cares about you.”

Amused, Genevieve raised her head, offering a light smile as she replied, “If it weren’t for him, would I be in this state today? Do I have to thank him?” The truth was obscured, leaving her unable to discern right from wrong.

Daniel was at a loss for words. Anthony had been going through a tough time lately, but Genevieve’s situation wasn’t any easier. His words felt like random criticism from someone who didn’t understand the circumstances, especially since he had never, been in the same situation himself. ‘I’m being ridiculous,‘ he muttered to himself.

Daniel’s face flushed as he lowered his head, unsure of what to do.

Meanwhile, Genevieve didn’t seem to mind. She chuckled and teased, “How forgetful he is. Did he hurt his

head?”

Daniel pursed his lips and shook his head. “He’s been in a coma since he got home. The doctor took a bold step in trying out the new medicine, but its side effect is its impact on memory.” Genevieve raised her eyebrows and remarked, “Well, that’s lucky.”

Daniel was again at a loss for words. “Ms. Lawrence.”

Genevieve chuckled and said in a flat voice, “Forget it. It’s over. Go back and tell him to find out who he is first.”

Daniel knew she was never going to meet him. Anthony wouldn’t get what he wanted that easily. He nodded and stood up, asking, “Ms. Lawrence, is Johnson the culprit?”

Genevieve fixed her deep eyes on him silently and nodded after a few seconds.

Daniel gritted his teeth and uttered, “Fortunately, he’s dead. He plunged into the sea while attempting to abdu

Ms. Thomson. You can find peace in that now. Take care, and see you soon.”

Genevieve smiled warmly. As Daniel left, her smile and the gentle emotions in her eyes gradually faded. She disguised it well. Her intention was to lower everyone’s guard, only to attack when they least expected it, ensuring they paid the price.

Daniel returned to Hoffman Group empty–handed. Intuitively, he refrained from conveying Genevieve’s word directly but rephrased them in a more favorable manner. “Ms. Lawrence has been busy lately. She hasn’t eve had time for meals and shopping. I’m afraid she won’t be able to come over.”

Anthony’s face was gloomy and cold. ‘No time for meals and shopping? Then who was the one I saw with the pretty boy yesterday?” His anger flared as he recalled how she splurged on gifts for him when he offered to f the bill for them. ‘Has she forgotten what she said to me yesterday? I doubt she’s over me, otherwise, why w she bother to come talk to me?‘ Anthony pondered. He was so seething with anger that he could even feel h chest heaving. ‘How annoying!”

Daniel looked at him nervously and said, “Mr. Hoffman, Ms. Lawrence is back, and regarding TuringTech Innovations Project…”

Anthony looked indifferent as his eyes darkened. “Proceed as planned,” he stated. He had been good at ke personal life matters separate from work. It wasn’t hard for him to take away the project, though, if he wa

However, a week had passed, and there was still no response from Genevieve. Anthony began to feel anxious because Hoffman Group couldn’t move forward with the project unless Genevieve signed the waiver for TuringTech Innovations. Despite how simple it seemed, Anthony found himself stuck at this step. Both parties were testing each other’s patience, and apparently, Genevieve held the upper hand.

Anthony sat in his office, puffing on his cigarette with an annoyed expression.

Daniel knocked on the door and came in with Kenneth.

Kenneth held several bottles of medication, pausing briefly before saying, “Mr. Hoffman, these meds are from

the doctor at the Hoffman residence.”

Anthony paused for a moment and then nodded.

Kenneth left after handling the medications to Daniel.

Even though this medication hadn’t completed its clinical trial phase, Anthony had tasked someone with investigating it because it appeared to target his coma effectively. He was experiencing headaches every few days and relied on the pills for relief while cautiously avoiding dependence on them.

Daniel felt stunned and confused by his words.

“Hurry up,” Anthony urged, his expression stern and impatient.

Daniel nodded and rushed out again. Standing by the exit of Lawrence Group, he realized something wasn’t right. ‘It’s the 21st century, why rush back and forth when I can just make a call?‘ Daniel thought. He sighed contacted Jasper again.
