One of the doctors said cautiously, “It was a patient’s family member who caused trouble and accidentally stabbed Ms. Stewart. We’ve already called the police, and the hospital will bear the corresponding responsibility.”

Rosalie wiped the tears from her face in anger and wailed, “It’s Genevieve! It must be her! Yesterday, I went to take you away, so she bore a grudge against me and hired someone to come after me. Look at this. I was even stabbed at this exact same point…

Most importantly, when the man stabbed her, he blurted out that she had messed with the wrong person.

The only person she had ever messed with was Genevieve, so she figured that Genevieve must be behind it.

Anthony’s expression was ice–cold. He furrowed his brows, seemingly upset as he piped up, “You can’t spout nonsense like this without proof.”

“It’s the truth, Anthony…” Rosalie continued to mumble ahead. Sadly, all that fell on deaf ears for Anthony.

A minute ago, his subordinates had reported to him that Genevieve and Louis had both returned to Acocester together.

He was about to leave early when Daniel called him on the phone, saying, “Mr. Anthony Hoffman, Mr. Frank Hoffman is coming around.”

Anthony was stunned and left immediately.

Frank’s well–being meant the world to him.

When Rosalie heard Daniel’s words, she suddenly stopped sobbing altogether as if she could no longer feel the pain in her arm. Her face was pale and inundated with fear.

“Didn’t they say the old geezer’s time is up? How could he have come around?’ she asked herself.

She instantly panicked and became worried.

The doctor next to her kept apologizing, “Ms. Stewart, should we take a break?”

Rosalie waved her hands impatiently at that. ‘Get lost. I’m getting out of here.”

She could not wait a second longer. Should she fail to head back, something bad might happen.

Meanwhile, when Anthony arrived at the hospital back in Acocester, the doctor was stepping out–after a checkup.

“The patient did have a conscious reaction, but he’s not yet awake. This is a good sign, though. It’s only a matter of time before Mr. Frank Hoffman comes around,” stated the doctor.

Anthony’s mien softened with relief, “Where’s Grandma Margaret?”

Then came the doctor’s reply. “Mrs. Hoffman’s weak, but she’s in better condition. It’s not life–threatening for her. She’s still in a coma, but all her indicators are normal. I believe she’ll recover consciousness s pretty soon.”

After listening to the doctor’s report, Anthony nodded.

He stayed in the hospital for a while.

It was then that Daniel rushed over. “Mr. Hoffman, we’ve gone through Ms. Stewart’s call history. A call was indeed traceable before she went to Ms. Lawrence’s ward. Even so, the other party used a modified line, so we couldn’t tell who

the caller was.”

Anthony’s face darkened in an instant.

‘Rosalie!’ was his thought.

His heart froze at that. “Keep an eye on her,” came his command.

That night, Rosalie hurried back to Acocester.

Samson had a fever again, so she openly went straight to stay the night at the hospital.

However, that time around, it was no easy feat for her to get close to Frank’s and Margaret’s wards.

Frank’s and Margaret’s wards were closely guarded, and no one could get in except for the appointed doctors.

Rosalie was beside herself with worry because of that.

Yet, she was relieved to hear that Frank had yet to completely come to his senses.

As for Genevieve, given that she was injured, Darrell made her stay at home to recuperate.

After the whole week passed, the wound scabbed, and she was finally able to step out for some fresh air.

The TV station’s program had been aired for some time, and it had been well–received. It had ridden the wave of trending topics and had been hyped up to the point where every viewer enjoyed watching the program.

The first season was a singing and dancing competition, after which the contestants who made it to the next round would be partaking in a vacation with team–building activities.

While filming the second season, Leonardo rang Genevieve up. “Right now, Jessica from Eagle Entertainment is being exploited by our rival because of Rosalie’s incident. They defamed and called Jessica out for being a mistress and abusing her power. That really dealt a blow to her. Say, Ms. Lawrence, why don’t you make an appearance on our show? Consider it as something to back Jessica up.”

Genevieve was stunned by the fact that she had indeed overlooked that.

She thought everything would be smooth sailing after getting rid of Rosalie, forgetting that Jessica was but a rookie in the entertainment industry.

“Okay, I’ll be there, agreed Genevieve after brooding over it for a while. After all, she was the one who asked Jessica to post

that video.

After hanging up the phone, Genevieve asked Jasper to make the necessary arrangement.

The sky was dark on the day of the filming.

In the resort, a couple of newcomers were busy packing up their things.

Genevieve came out of nowhere as a mystery guest on the show.

She was clad in a white silk dress, and her relaxed manner further accentuated her graceful and delicate demeanor. Her alluring, beautiful facial features looked calm and sweet under the shimmering lights in the dark.

Her temperament was tranquil. Not a hint of aggression could be sensed.

Everyone was stunned the second they caught sight of Genevieve.

Jessica and the others came up to her in surprise. “Genevieve..

Genevieve saw that Jessica did not look so well, but the latter had it all concealed with makeup. Rather nonchalantly, Genevieve went over to embrace Jessica while whispering in her ear, “Why didn’t you speak up for yourself even when you were picked on?”

Jessica froze for a second. Her eyes reddened with tears. “I-”

The host of the program came over and welcomed Genevieve with a smile. “I wasn’t expecting Ms. Lawrence to mystery guest! What a pleasant surprise!”

Genevieve smiled and politely went over to shake hands with the rest, but one lady among the group of people ignored her already outstretched hand and turned away with a snort.

There was a moment of awkwardness.

to be served…”

The host then hurriedly mediated the dispute. “Regina must be waiting for the supper to be served..

Genevieve put on a subtle grin. She did not take a matter that trivial to heart.

They all sat together and chatted for a while. The vibe was quite decent.

Genevieve did not assume airs the entire while. If anything, she even helped out in cleaning up the place.

Jessica came over to her quietly and cooed, “That’s Regina Stewart. She’s Rosalie’s cousin. She’s been in this business for a couple of years already, but she wasn’t gaining any traction. Rosalie wanted to shoot Regina to fame, but her chance to shine went out when she caught herself in something bad.”

Genevieve raised her eyebrows upon learning that.

Then again, she would not give a hoot to a small fry like Regina.

She took a sip of water, put down the cup, and uttered with a smile, “Jessica, don’t take the comments online to heart. All those are temporary. Eagle Entertainment won’t abandon you.”

Moved, Jessica pursed her lips and lowered her head. “I know you came all the way here today just to support me. Thank you, Genevieve. This means a lot to me.”

Genevieve let out a chuckle on that note. “Anything for you. You’ll be famous in no time. Trust me. Just hang in there.”

Jessica bobbed her head fervently, appearing all clear and determined.

The two of them smiled at each other, and Genevieve seemed to glimpse her younger self in Jessica for a moment.

Even though the program was pre–recorded, the director would still shoot live promotional videos on set.

Soon enough, the host came over and announced mysteriously, “Another mystery guest has joined us! Let’s give him a round of applause!”

He took the lead in putting his hands together while everyone directed their lines of sight to the entrance.

Standing there was Louis in his suit, looking rigid and giving off an air of calmness and fine poise like some elite. As soon as he appeared there, he attracted all the women’s attention.

The crowd began exclaiming in a low voice.

“Who’s this guy? He’s so handsome!”

“You don’t say! My nose’s about to bleed!”

“I don’t think he’s an actor. I haven’t seen him before.”
