Andrea couldn’t help but cry softly, “It’s all my fault. I’ve caused trouble for Anthony since I returned. Ms. Lawrence, I know you hate me. As Anthony’s fiancée, you can treat me however you want. Please don’t escalate this. It will affect Anthony.”
Genevieve paid her no attention. Looking at Anthony, she sneered coldly.
She then casually turned and walked back to the couch, sitting down.
Anthony frowned slightly, feeling suffocated as if cotton had been stuffed into his heart.
He vaguely sensed that the matter might not be as simple as Quincey had made it seem.
Anthony abruptly turned and left in wide strides, with Andrea trailing closely behind, gritting her teeth.
Quincey hesitated briefly before beckoning to Rebecca.
Rebecca nonchalantly followed.
Quincey handed the prepared bank card in the stairwell, smiling as she said, “Here’s 20,000 dollars. Use it to buy Mrs. Monica Lawrence some nutrition. We don’t have the best relationship with the Lawrence family. Mrs. Samantha Lawrence won’t accept the money due to her nobility, but we don’t want to inconvenience you.”
Quincey’s words struck a chord in Rebecca’s heart.
The latter promptly took the bank card. “Don’t worry. We won’t pursue this further.”
Rebecca thought, ‘She’s giving 20,000 dollars over just a broken bone. Rich people are indeed generous.”
Overjoyed, Rebecca saw Quincey off. Alice pushed the door and entered when Rebecca was still reveling in the joy of the large sum of money.
Alice frowned, looking at Rebecca. “We shouldn’t disgrace the Lawrence family here.”
Although Samantha wasn’t close to them, she had still given them quite a few gifts. Heaps of them were sent to the hotel, and she had even arranged for someone to take them out for sightseeing.

Rebecca glanced at her coldly. She scoffed disdainfully and walked past her. “Do they even see you as human?”
As Lauraine had just come out of surgery, the VIP ward was quiet.
Anthony pushed the door open and entered. Just as Andrea was about to say something, she saw his gloomy expression. He suppressed his anger, asking, “Did you do it on purpose?”
Andrea’s expression changed slightly. “Of course not, Anthony. You can’t just listen to Genevieve.”
Anthony sneered. “I certainly won’t listen to one side of the story.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
He directly called Daniel, instructing, “Go and get the surveillance footage from the mall.”
Andrea’s face paled, and her lips trembled slightly.
Anthony narrowed his eyes. Upon sensing her guilt, he instantly became furious. “Andrea, you’re still lying. Is this how the Thomson family taught you–to lay hands on an elderly?”
Andrea trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of tears.
She bit her lip nervously, shaking her head. “It wasn’t me. I didn’t do it on purpose. It was Mrs. Hoffman-
Before she could finish her sentence, Quincey pushed the door open and entered. “That’s enough, Anthony. What’s with all the yelling? Lauraine is still unconscious. Do you understand that you have to keep quiet?”
Anthony’s eyes swept coldly over them. “Is Mrs. Lawrence’s accident related to you, too?”
Quincey’s expression changed slightly, and she gritted her teeth. “No, and even if it is, so what? I didn’t push her, and she simply deserved it. Besides, we’ve already apologized in person. What more do you want? Is she trying to extort us because she stumbled? How high and mighty does she think she is?”
With those words, Quincey turned and stormed out.
Andrea looked at him and then Quincey’s retreating figure. She followed her out.
Daniel’s call came, and Anthony answered it.

“Mr. Hoffman, I’ve obtained the surveillance footage. Are you going to call the police?”

Genevieve was waiting outside for Darrell to come out.
Samantha walked over with a solemn face. “Did you get the store to give the surveillance footage as that’s the evidence?”
Genevieve smiled. “Don’t worry, Mom. I wouldn’t be so careless.”
Samantha breathed a sigh of relief and patted her shoulder.
She turned to Rebecca and Alice, saying gently, “You both can head back first. We’ll handle things here. You’ve already had enough trouble while in the countryside. You can leave it to us now.”
Rebecca hadn’t planned to stay and take care of Monica anyway.
The Lawrence family was wealthy enough to hire many caregivers.
Besides, Rebecca was satisfied with the compensation she had received.
She smiled and nodded. “Okay. We’ll head back first. Just let us know if you need anything.”
Samantha nodded, then had the driver drive them back to the hotel.
Genevieve and Samantha entered the ward one after the other.
Monica’s ward was spacious and bright. Both her legs were in casts as she lay there, holding a banana in one hand and a glass of juice in the other.
Darrell was peeling an orange beside her.
Monica cheerfully urged Darrell to turn on the projector and find a TV series.
Darrell didn’t know how to, so he gently reassured her by saying, “Wait a moment. Let Genevieve find it!”
Once Genevieve entered, Darrell reacted as if he had seen his savior. “Quick! Find a TV show for her to watch.”

Genevieve’s eyes were still a little sore, and she paused for a moment at the sight. She walked over. “Grandaunt Monica, I’m sorry, I didn’t take good care of you. Are your legs hurting a lot?”
Monica smiled reassuringly. “They don’t hurt anymore. The doctor said I just need to rest for a few months, so I’ll enjoy lying in bed. Oh! Did you bring back the clothes I bought from the store? They’re all nice clothes. Don’t let them go to waste.”
Genevieve smiled. “Okay. I’ll have someone bring them to you.”
“By the way, I didn’t fall on my own. Someone pushed me. Don’t let her off. How disgraceful to be even bullying. the elderly!” Monica stated angrily, and Genevieve nodded.
Darrell’s gaze darkened. “Who did it?”
Samantha, at the side, smiled and found a TV show Monica liked. “Don’t worry. No matter who did it, our daughter will make them pay.”
Genevieve returned to the company in the evening.
Jasper showed her what Daniel had sent over. “They’re a world–class top–tier pearl necklace and custom–made Jimmy Choo high heels. Is this for you, Ms. Lawrence?”
Jasper was a little surprised when he saw them, but Daniel had claimed that those were specifically requested by her. Even the heels were in Genevieve’s size.
Genevieve glanced at them. Her eyes were cold as she responded, “Take them out and throw them away.”
After she had finished, she pushed the door and went in.
Jasper was speechless, thinking, ‘Is she asking me to throw them away?‘
He couldn’t be so careless, so he put them in the least favorite gift box as usual.
At night, Anthony couldn’t enter the penthouse.
Genevieve had changed the locks and passwords, and his luggage was left outside.

Emergency calls only——
Anthony’s expression darkened, and he called Genevieve directly.
She answered readily, and she seemed to be having dinner.
“What are you trying to do?” Anthony’s voice was cold.
