Ever since Genevieve agreed to their unpresentable relationship. Anthony had considered her one of his own and was under constant scrutiny

Otherwise, how would he know she had broken up with Emilio)

His eyes narrowed at the photos as he thought, I’ve never hugged her like that. What rights does Louis have?”

A sharp pain in his chest reminded him that their relationship, whether between them or with others, was completely unreasonable

A surge of intense emotions enveloped him like a suffocating wave.

Seeing Anthony’s worsening expression, Daniel hurriedly fetched his medicine and handed it to him. “Calm down, Mr. Hoffman. Ms. Lawrence is still legally married to Louis. Even if we’re upset, we can only hold it in!”

Anthony, who had gradually calmed down, instantly turned cold.

Slap! He slammed the documents onto the table, scattering them everywhere.

‘To hell with that married couple!‘ he cursed inwardly.

Daniel stood there in shock while holding the two pills in his hand. “Mr. Hoffman, let’s take your medicine first.”

Anthony clutched his chest and felt a dull ache in his head. He took a deep breath before eating the medicine.

Daniel quickly brought him water.

‘What a bad–tempered and weak CEO!” he thought.

Then, he quickly tried to mediate the dispute. “Mr. Hoffman, holding onto grudges can lead to illness. Remember the argument with Ms. Lawrence at the hospital? Let’s not make things worse by acting rashly.

Daniel kept on, fearing Anthony’s temper might offend Genevieve again,

Genevieve was just an ordinary person in the past, but now, she was the young lady of Lawrence Group.

If they wished her to donate bone marrow, they’d have to seek approval from the Lawrence family!

Therefore, from the beginning. Daniel felt their plan would not work.

They might as well count on someone else.

Anthony’s face turned cold and ashen as he stared straight at Daniel.

“Why are you talking so much nonsense?” he snapped, silencing Daniel instantly.

The latter picked up the scattered items from the ground and placed them back on Anthony’s table before leaving silently.

Anthony’s eyes

darted around the room, landing on the photo again. Anger surged within him, nearly prompting him to hurl the object in his hand.

But suddenly, he stiffened and withdrew his strength.

On his hand was a bracelet adorned with reddish–brown beads, which he always wore.

Anthony suddenly stopped.

He felt overwhelmed, like drowning with no escape, unable to breathe or move. Helpless suffocation engulfed him.

He slid the bracelet onto his left hand and placed it near his heart, and gradually, the intense beating of his heart began to calm.

Since they parted ways at the hospital last time, they hadn’t contacted each other again.

Anthony didn’t understand why Genevieve hated Lauraine so much.

He wondered if her hatred was for Lauraine or him.

Anthony vaguely felt that something was being kept from him.

They couldn’t find anyone with a successful match in Hoffman Group.

Therefore, they could only expand their search to its subsidiaries and affiliated companies.

But the search would take time.

Lauraine’s condition worsened by the day.

Even Presley began to worry and started visiting the hospital every few days.

Then, unknowingly, they started approaching the Lawrence family.

Only a few people knew about Lauraine’s hospitalization.

Both Darrell and Samantha were also unaware of it.

When they saw Presley and Quincey come bearing gifts, they had a bad feeling.

D43% 18:31

Because of what happened last time, the Lawrence family didn’t have much goodwill toward the Hoffman family. Therefore, they acted polite on the surface.

Anthony didn’t show up.

Quincey put on a double–sided act and acted affectionately to Samantha as if they were closer than sisters

Even Samantha found her act impressive.

Darrell remained calm. Looking at the impatient Samantha, he smiled as he accommodated Presley’s humble

demeanor.

Presley also felt a little uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and said, “I heard Mr. Lawrence loved collecting paintings. Here’s a genuine work by Leonardo Da Vinci that I specially asked people to seek. I hope you’ll accept

it.”

Darrell glanced at it and smiled. “Mr. Hoffman, you’re too kind. It’s all rumors. I come from humble beginnings and not exactly someone who appreciates fine art.”

Presley had inherited Hoffman Group from Frank, but things took a downturn as soon as he took over.

-But Darrell built his success from scratch. While he did not come from a prestigious family, he never shied away

from his past.

After all, his current wealth and influence far surpassed those of second and third generations from prestigious

families.

Presley’s expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, “Mr. Lawrence, you’re too modest. I—”

“Just get to the point. Stop wasting time,” Darrell interrupted as he took a sip of his coffee.

Presley paused and continued with a smile, “Speaking of which, our two families have a deep connection. Three years ago, Genevieve donated bone marrow to Lauraine and saved her life. We’ve been grateful ever since. Recently, Lauraine fell ill again. I would like to ask for Genevieve’s help once more. There’s a saying that one should help others to the end, right?”

Quincey chimed in with a smile, “That’s right…

Darrell and Samantha exchanged glances with each other and stopped smiling instantly.

Darrell’s face turned grim and sneered, “So that’s what this is about. Stop dreaming, Mr. Hoffman. Why should Genevieve donate to Lauraine? She acted on her own accord three years ago, and I haven’t held her accountable for it yet! When saving a life, we need to consider if that person is worth saving as well. Based on our relationship now, if she dares to donate, I’ll drive her out of the family!”

Darrell stood up directly and instructed the butler, “Move Mr. Hoffman’s gift to the car and see him off.”

He didn’t even want to maintain his facade anymore. With a cold snort, he turned and went upstairs.

Presley’s expression turned pale for a while.

He was too angry to speak.

“Why is Mr. Lawrence so ruthless?” he asked.

Samantha scoffed, “There’s nothing more to say. Let’s Just wic

Ms. Hoffman a speedy recovery.”

She didn’t want to stay there for any longer and left them to the maid and the butler.

Presley and Quincey left dispiritedly.

They even felt deeply wronged.

Darrell watched their departing figures from the balcony upstairs with dark gazes. Holding a phone in his hand, he warned, “Gen, if you dare to be foolish and throw yourself at the Hoffman family again, you won’t be my

daughter anymore!”

Samantha couldn’t help laughing as she approached. “She’s not that stupid. If Genevieve would agree, the Hoffman family won’t come here to see us.”

Genevieve stopped smiling when she hung up the phone.

‘The Hoffman family actually went to the Lawrence residence! Looks like they’re desperate,‘ she thought.

She chuckled lightly and then–spun around in her office chair.
