Genevieve’s voice was cold and gloomy. She looked at Anthony with coldness and resentment in her eyes.
Every word she said was like a sharp thorn piercing into his heart.
Anthony felt so suffocated that he could not even breathe.
He could not believe that Lauraine was the direct cause of Genevieve falling into the sea.
Anthony thought, ‘How could she do such a thing? She untied Genevieve’s rope, thinking it was to help her, but it ended up pushing her to hell. While everyone watched the fireworks on the cruise ship, only Genevieve faced death. She must’ve been scared.”
Anthony’s expression changed. Suddenly, he could not even say a word.
Genevieve was right. She survived out of luck, and it was not a reason for her to forgive Lauraine.
Lauraine deserved to be punished.
“Sorry, I…” Anthony trailed off. He frowned, and his voice gradually lowered. He did not even know what to say.
Genevieve gave him a mocking look and said indifferently, “Is your apology worth anything? Don’t apologize. I won’t forgive her. Anthony, if it were you, you’d be dead already, so don’t be so dumb as to tell me to let her off the hook. I dare to beat you; Lauraine is no exception.”
Her hatred was unconcealable.
She had the right to take revenge, so she did not have to hide anything.
Now that he knew, he ought to know Genevieve would not be softhearted.
Genevieve gave him a cold look and turned to leave.
Suddenly, Anthony’s deep voice said coldly, “So, are you also looking for a chance to take revenge on me?”
Anthony clearly remembered that during his amnesia, Genevieve’s feelings for him were different from before.

They seemed to be close. There were moments of sweetness and congeniality, too.
He felt Genevieve was sincere, so he guessed she might have forgiven him.
However, now, he was a little uncertain.
Genevieve chuckled. Her voice was soft but cold when she said, “I got close to you for all kinds of purposes other than sincerity. You’re not that stupid to think I will pursue my ex–husband, are you?
Anthony, I’m not that blind!” Her words were to mock his naivety. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
She thought, ‘Sincere? How is that even possible? I have always been thinking about how to retaliate. Why did Anthony look hurt? Did he fall for me so deeply? To the amnesiac Anthony, I was just a woman he had known for less than a month. How pretentious of him.”
Genevieve did not believe in Anthony’s sincerity.
Anthony’s chest gradually felt sore and stuffy, accompanied by a looming throbbing pain, like a huge stone pressing on his chest, heavy and bitter.
His eyes were gloomy and dull as he moved his lips to ask hoarsely, “If I hadn’t lost my memory, would you have some sincerity for me?”
After all, her past feelings could not have been erased completely.
Her revenge on Anthony was for him during his amnesia.
Anthony still had some hope.
Genevieve’s smile was like cool water skimming across the lake. “No, I won’t,” she replied…
She would not have any if it were toward Anthony, amnesia or not.
Genevieve’s response made Anthony freeze instantly. A dull pain came from his chest as if someone squeezed it. He felt uncomfortable.
Genevieve had given up on him.
With that, Genevieve turned around and left.

Anthony stared at her back with a sharp and sullen gaze.
A while later, a frail and beautiful girl walked out from one of the wards next to Lauraine’s.
She walked over, glanced at Anthony, and then at Genevieve, who had left decisively.
“Mr. Hoffman, do you want to pursue her?” she asked.
Anthony frowned and looked at her indifferently. “Who are you?” he asked.
The woman was briefly–stunned before smiling. “My name is Stella Leverich,” she answered.
Anthony seemed to have heard of her name somewhere but did not remember it.
Stella felt slightly sad at his reaction but said calmly, “I donated bone marrow to Ms. Hoffman. My father is Benjamin Campbell,”
From that sentence, Anthony instantly remembered.
Several years ago, when the Campbell family’s scandal was spread around, Anthony heard Aiden mention that Benjamin had an illegitimate daughter named Stella, whom he wanted to raise at home.
However, Scarlett disagreed and threatened him by using her own life, hence forcing this illegitimate daughter out of the country as if she had never existed. Stella’s identity was never recognized, and no one asked about her
mother.
Several years had passed, and only a few deep–rooted families knew about these scandals. Meanwhile, the public only saw a harmonious Campbell family.
It turned out that Stella was the one Andrea found to donate bone marrow.
Anthony frowned and said emotionlessly, “I won’t interfere in the affairs of the Campbell family.”
Stella smiled and said, “I know, but Ms. Andrea Thomson, your fiancée, once promised me a condition. I wonder if you will fulfill it?”
Anthony did not know what terms Andrea had promised.

“What did she promise?” Anthony asked.
“I want to enter the entertainment industry, become the most popular star, and get a role in Benjamin’s production,” Stella said straightforwardly.
It was not a difficult thing to achieve.
Anthony barely hesitated before saying. “Okay.”
It was not a big deal to promote a female celebrity.
He only had to give the order, and his employees would do it for him.
Stella smiled and was very happy. She said, “Great! Mr. Hoffman, as thanks and for my own sake, here’s some advice. If you want your ex–wife back, you can’t depend on only yourself. You need to give her some push.”
Anthony glanced at her coldly and turned to leave.
Behind him, Stella smiled.
At Hoffman Group, when Anthony returned to his office, Daniel knocked on the door and entered with a solemn
face.
“Mr. Hoffman, we have made progress with the medicine,” Daniel said, taking out the test reports from different nations‘ laboratories. He continued, “Several labs with which Hoffman Group works gave the same results as ‘home‘ said. They said that it was good for brain recovery and that amnesia was normal. However, the others. that I consulted anonymously reported that adding a memory–impairing drug to the process of repairing brain damage caused the development of addiction.”
Two similar versions turned out to have completely different meanings.
Anthony’s face instantly darkened, and his aura became cold.
He pondered, ‘There’s no doubt now. Whose idea was it? Mom? Or was it Dad?‘
However, if Quincey did it, it would not do her any good. Quincey was dependent on Anthony.

Therefore, he concluded that it was Presley.

While he was in a coma, Presley took advantage of the opportunity to bribe many people and insert his men into
the company.
He was afraid that Anthony would be a loser and also feared that Anthony was better than him.
