Genevieve hesitated for a moment, subconsciously scanning the crowd for Lucas.

But Robbin chimed in before she could delve deeper into her search. “No need to look further. Just go over there yourself. She said she wants to tell you about the whereabouts of someone you care about.”

Genevieve stiffened slightly, her gaze deepening as she looked at him.

Robbin offered a forced smile before turning away and leaving.

Without spotting Lucas, Genevieve felt a surge of anxiety and decided to head outside.

even Bill was unaware of.

Reaching the door, she knocked but received no response.

Instead, she heard faint sounds from within.

Puzzled, she grasped the doorknob, pressing down to open the door.

As she opened the door, the sight of a man and woman entwined together and the unrestrained noises stunned

her.

But in the next second, the intertwined pair abruptly turned their heads to gaze at Genevieve standing at the

door.

Genevieve’s face flushed with shock.

She saw the shift in Carrie’s seductive eyes as they cooled and noticed the surprisingly thin man beside her.

USTED

Genevieve felt a jolt of realization that she had walked right into another one of Robbin’s traps.

She quickly stepped back, shutting the door behind her.

But in a flash, the man, deceptively strong despite his lean build, had pushed the woman aside and reached out, grabbing Genevieve by her hair and yanking her back before she could flee.

The man looked thin, but he had a hand on him and was very strong.

Genevieve panicked for a moment, screaming loudly for help.

The guards outside clearly heard the commotion.

But quickly, the door was shut again.

Genevieve was thrown to the ground, her scalp numbing from the pull, her body shaking.

Looking up, she saw Carrie calmly redressing, regaining her composure with an air of authority.

The man, previously disheveled, now stood with a chilling calm, his clothes without a crease, lazily fastening his

trousers.

His eyes glinted with a dark, menacing cold as he stared down at Genevieve. “Ms. Lawrence, you had a banquet to enjoy. What brings you here instead?”

Carrie, now fully composed and dignified, approached, her eyes narrowing as she looked down at Genevieve. “Ms. Lawrence, how indeed should I deal with you?”

Her tone was cold, like a serpent facing its prey.

Genevieve felt a chill seeping from the ground up.

Suppressing her fear, Genevieve responded, “Wasn’t it Mrs. Simpson who had Robbin call me here? If she hadn’t said you were looking for me, I wouldn’t have come for a private meeting at this time.”

Carrie’s eyes narrowed further, and her expression darkened slightly, “Robbin? That girl has grown too bold for her own good, stirring trouble even now.”

The man, lighting a cigarette, patted Carrie on the shoulder, “Let’s put aside other matters for now and consider

how to deal with Ms. Lawrence.”

Genevieve shivered slightly, forcing herself to look composed as she addressed Carrie, “Deal with me? We have unfinished business. Our partnership isn’t over. Even if I’ve seen something I shouldn’t have, it’s not like I would divulge it. And who would believe me even if I did?”

Struggling to maintain her dignity, Genevieve stood up, meeting Carrie’s gaze directly. “My only concern is for my brother. What do I care about anyone else? Mrs. Simpson, you promised. Lucas and I are to get engaged soon. You need to keep your word!”

Carrie lightly covered her mouth, laughing.

Her eyes sparkled with a mix of disdain and wild arrogance as she looked at Genevieve. “You know, I really should thank you. You’ve managed to divert Bill’s attention these past few days. He’s been all too focused on you and Lucas!”

Genevieve’s heart skipped a beat, feeling something was off. She frowned at her. “Mrs. Simpson, you…”

Carrie, showing impatience, turned her gaze away, her voice dropping to a cold tone. “She’s no longer of any use. It’s time to send her on her way.”

The man pursed his lips and pulled out a gun from behind his waist.

Genevieve’s face turned pale in an instant.

But in the next moment, the sound of hurried footsteps in high heels came from the doorway.

Soon after, Robbin’s voice was heard, “Mom, it’s me. Did Ms. Lawrence come by? Lucas seems to be looking everywhere for her.”

Carrie’s expression shifted slightly, pondering for a moment with an unreadable thought.

She glanced at Genevieve, her look carrying a warning.

Then she signaled for the man to open the door.

The man hesitated. “What if Robbin brought someone with her?”

“What are you afraid of? There’s a third person here. Are you scared Ms. Lawrence will spill everything?”

Carrie’s sharp nails traced Genevieve’s face.

Genevieve remained calm, neither dodging nor retaliating.

The man still hesitated. Carrie, sitting there, said with a light chuckle, “Tonight, everything will come to an end. Once Bill’s position is yours, what else is there to fear? Hiding here, so afraid to even open a door. It’s your timidity that makes you suspect. Morris, that’s why you can never surpass Bill.”

Carrie’s words clearly unsettled the man.

Clenching his teeth, he tucked the gun back at his waist and went to open the door. “Robbin, is that you?”

hom to let me

Robbin smiled. “Morris, you’re here too? I brought two bottles of fine wine. Could you persuade mom speak to my dad on her behalf?”

Her tone was as always, humble and careful, causing Morris to lower his guard temporarily.

He casually unlocked the door.

But the next second, the door was forcefully kicked open from the outside.

Morris was too late to react, his face turning pale at the sight of the intruder.

Carrie leapt from the sofa. “Bill…”

Her face flushed and then paled.

At this point, what could she possibly argue?

If nothing had happened just before, she might have had the confidence to question the intrusion.

But having just been intimate with Morris, and caught by Genevieve, how could she remain composed?

Plus, considering Robbin’s deceptive words to open the door, Carrie instantly realized their secret was out.

Robbin stood at the back, her face a

We satisfied smile.

Carrie was seething with rage and anxiety. “Robbin.”

Bill’s imposing figure filled the doorway, radiating an intense chill.

His gaze swept over Genevieve, who seized the moment to run towards him.

Suddenly, Carrie grabbed her, snatching the weapon from Morris‘ waist and pressing it against Genevieve’s head.
