Chapter 221
Anthony’s feelings toward Austin were a mixture of the closeness they shared in their youth and a hint of guilt.
He regarded Austin as a good friend, and he believed that Austin felt the same about him.
So when Austin had a car accident, he took care of Rosalie and Austin’s child on his behalf.
However, in the end, Anthony divorced, losing his beloved Genevieve, and Genevieve ended up marrying Austin.
This was the world’s most absurd joke.
He suddenly felt that he had stepped into someone else’s trap since the beginning.
But by the time he realized it, it was too late.
Austin and his mother hated him and Quincey. They would never get along well.
The ties within all rich and powerful families, including the Hoffman family, were not pure and without interest
or conflict.
Genevieve frowned. She knew Austin was Louis.
The woman wondered, ‘Has the truth been revealed? Did Louis solve all the problems?‘
Even though Genevieve was happy for him, she also felt a subtle disquiet.
She did not want to recall the gloomy past between her and Louis.
“You found out?” Genevieve asked.
Anthony’s heart ached when he noticed her reaction. He chuckled. “So I’m the only one who doesn’t know. Gen, you were already aware of it.”
Genevieve lowered her eyes, voicing honestly, “I found out when I was at Atharia. After all, he saved me after I fell into the sea. Anthony, he has nothing to do with us, right? You gave me up for Rosalie and her son. In your heart, everything is more important than me, isn’t it? Why should I return to that pitiful life? I dumped you, so you feel indignant and dissatisfied. But you deserved this! I won’t agree to reconcile just because you will feel better this

way. Don’t waste your time on me.”
Her words pricked Anthony’s ego, and his expression turned ugly.
He didn’t probe further nor have the right to blame Genevieve for not informing him.
Anthony suppressed his emotions with a hint of bitterness and disappointment on his face.
He hated Louis‘ lies, but he was grateful for his #not, doom would have befallen Genevieve.
The problem between Genevieve and him was that he kept ignoring the sacrifices she made for him. With that in mind, a heaviness rested on Anthony’s chest.
Genevieve pushed him away, walking inside. “Close the door for me when you leave. Thanks.”
Anthony stated, “I know I did wrong, and I’ll do what I can to make it up to you. I won’t let you go, Gen.”
With a dull pain in his chest, he stared at Genevieve’s back weakly.
This place was like paradise to him when he stayed there for a few days. But now, his sanctuary was driving him
away.
A cold aura exuded from Anthony as he prepared to leave when a tiny, fluffy pet hopping around his feet.
He looked down. Goldie, wearing new clothes, happily jumped around at his feet, capturing his attention and showing off his new outfit. The dog also rolled at his feet proudly.
At that moment, Anthony couldn’t help but find Goldie quite adorable..
He pursed his lips and looked at Genevieve hesitantly. “Goldie doesn’t want me to leave.”
Anthony didn’t want to leave, either.

Genevieve was drinking water. She merely glanced at the door casually and coughed.
Goldie immediately turned its head around and bared its teeth at Anthony before running toward Genevieve without looking back.
Anthony mused, “Well, Goldie is still a dog.

He was rendered speechless.
Before he left, the man suddenly thought of something and turned toward Genevieve. “Gen, it’s obvious to us that Louis has an ulterior motive. I fear he is trying to get close to you to exact revenge on me. Please be careful.”
Genevieve froze as Anthony shut the door.
She had speculated Louis‘ motive in approaching her. But it doesn’t matter now. She didn’t expect much from him, merely treating him as an ordinary friend.
A few days later, Monica had to go for another round of checkups after staying at home for some time, as she was about to return to the village.
For convenience, she moved back to the hospital for the following procedures.
Genevieve went to visit her after finishing work.
Unexpectedly, waves of laughter erupted from Monica’s ward.
Genevieve pushed the door open and found Anthony inside.
Other than him, there was another middle–aged woman with an exceptional aura.
Genevieve recognized the woman immediately. She was the female lead of a cliche drama that Monica watched
recently.
In the drama, her husband died. She rejected many men’s advances, firmly raising her son.
The woman looked the same as she was on TV, roughly in her thirties.
Currently, she sat politely before Monica and thanked the latter for supporting her drama. She also peeled the oranges for Monica in an approachable demeanor.
Meanwhile, Monica smiled brightly and held the woman’s hand, praising her flawless acting skills.
As for Anthony, he produced his phone, wanting to snap a photo of them together.
Monica nodded happily, doing the “V” sign while the actress cooperated with the session obediently.

Genevieve was genuinely puzzled by the scene before her.
“Gen, come on and take a photo with us,” Monica invited.
Genevieve was stunned but walked over with a smile, not wanting to disappoint Monica.
The actress nodded to her politely and elegantly, then focused on the photo–taking session with Monica.
Genevieve stood behind them, smiling in a standard photography session way.
After taking a picture, Anthony shook his head. “This isn’t good enough. Let’s retake it.”
He turned the camera on Genevieve, snapping a photo of her. His actions went unnoticed by the others.
Monica’s face was stiff from smiling. She gazed at Anthony. “Are we done?”
Anthony took another picture and nodded with a smile. “This one’s perfect. You look the best.”
Monica smiled so hard that she couldn’t even close her mouth. She waved her hand. “No. No. Please don’t speak
the truth…”
Anthony didn’t know how to reply.
Genevieve clicked her tongue and straightened up. “Grandaunt Monica, what’s going on?”
“It’s a kind gesture from Anthony. He knew I liked this drama, so he asked the female lead to come and watch it with me. He said this would put me in a good mood. I’m happy now. Anthony is so considerate. I just had a fracture, and he came over to visit me right away. He told me he would bring along the male lead next time…” Monica sounded thrilled. She paused, “The male lead is too old. Maybe get the second male lead to come along
with you.”
Genevieve’s smile stiffened, musing, ‘She’s picky, isn’t she?”
Anthony agreed and said gently, “Okay, it’s up to you to make the decision.”
Genevieve stood speechless for a while. She finally realized how Anthony was so good at winning people over.
He looked at her before telling Monica. “I need to discuss business matters with Gen, so you go on with watching
TV, okay?”

“Sure! No problem. Go ahead, Gen!” Monica replied, looking at Genevieve excitedly. “Anthony is here to visit me, so don’t neglect him.”
