Anthony was prepared, so the answer was not surprising.
He paused shortly and then looked at Daniel indifferently. “Okay. There is no need to investigate this matter again. Let’s stop here. Oh, and get someone to support the woman, who donated bone marrow, to become a
famous star.”
Daniel was stunned, then realized that this might be the terms Stella negotiated with Anthony.
He nodded and left the office.
At the Hoffman residence, Quincey vented her anger at the servants.
After she got caught up in public opinion, fewer people visited her.
Meanwhile, Presley had not stopped hooking up with his mistress outside. He seemed to be bewitched and bought a house for the woman to stay in.
Quincey was very angry, but she could only take it out on the servants.
While she was scolding them, the butler, James Dalton, rushed in and informed her, “Mrs. Hoffman, Mr. Hoffman
is back.”
Quincey’s expression changed, and she greeted him while smiling, “You are finally back. I’m so bored alone at
home.”
Presley looked at Quincey’s aged–past–forty’s face. Although she took care of herself, there were traces of aging.
He was fascinated by her gentleness and consideration back then, and her traits were why he let her keep her
position.
She never asked about any other matters, which was to his liking.
“If you’re bored, go abroad for vacation. Don’t suffocate yourself,” he said.
‘Won’t other women pounce on you as soon as I left? I’m not dumb. Quincey cursed internally and said, “I’m worried about Anthony. He hasn’t recovered yet!”

Presley handed over the box he was carrying. “This is the medicine sent by the laboratory. Give it to him and remind him to eat the medicine on time so he can recover quickly.”
Quincey smiled and accepted it. “Don’t worry. I call Daniel every day to watch over Anthony. He wouldn’t dare to
disobey.”
Presley nodded in satisfaction and went upstairs.
He instructed, “The Thomson family will come for dinner later. Tell the servants to prepare and ask Anthony to come home too.”
Quincey’s expression froze.
“The Thomson family is coming over.
‘Presley only came back for a social occasion…
“Then again, this makes sense. He wouldn’t socialize with his in–laws at a mistress‘ place,’ Quincey thought while gritting her teeth and forcing a smile on her face. “Okay.”
When Anthony reached home, the Thomson family had already arrived with many gifts.
They all knew what trouble Andrea had caused.
This would–be in–laws of Hoffman Group were scared to be turned away by the Hoffman family.
Thanks to the Hoffman family, Kyler survived bankruptcy.
Kyler chatted with Presley happily.
Abigail looked at Quincey eagerly and flattered, “Mrs. Hoffman, Andrea is a good girl, and you’d know that. She caused trouble this time but not intentionally, and she has been punished. Why don’t we take her back from the hospital?”
After all, Andrea was living in a psychiatric patient’s hospital.
Quincey smiled sarcastically and said, “Mrs. Thomson, Andrea’s current condition is unfit for discharge. You should listen to the doctor.”

Abigail looked troubled. “But Andrea is still the daughter–in–law of the Hoffman family after all. If word that she lives in the hospital got out, it won’t be good for the Hoffman family’s reputation.”
Quincey smiled meaningfully. “Yes, having a psychiatric patient as the daughter–in–law of the Hoffman family is bad, so I think we should cancel this marriage.”
Abigail’s face changed instantly. “No! Mrs. Hoffman, Andrea saved Anthony’s life. How can you break it off please?”
Quincey could not help but sneer, “Yes, she indeed saved him, but the Thomson family also obtained many benefits from the Hoffman family. Mrs. Thomson, when did you buy such an expensive bag?”

Abigail’s expression changed visibly, looking exceptionally unpleasant. “That’s not right, Mrs. Hoffman. You’re a typical opportunist who blamed Andrea when trouble comes. I have investigated and found that the old lady is related to Genevieve. You are all afraid of her!”
Quincey suppressed her anger and said, “Anyone is better than a psychiatric patient. You can’t deal with Genevieve, so you want us to do it? Nothing is free in this world. Since Andrea is incompetent, don’t blame us for being ruthless.”
She was straightforward enough and made it clear she would not let Anthony marry a psychiatric patient.
Besides, there were many other socialites to choose from.
The atmosphere between the women turned cold and tense.
However, Presley’s side was harmonious.
As soon as Anthony entered, Abigail stood up eagerly and walked over, grabbing his arm. “Anthony, Andrea saved you. You can’t be too cruel to her!”
Anthony’s face darkened slightly. He might still have thought that Andrea had saved him if he had not recovered his memory.
However, Genevieve was taking revenge because Andrea was involved in the cruise ship incident.
He felt a coldness washing over his heart.

Anthony pushed hand and frowned slightly.

Quincey came over. “Anthony, you’re back on time. I told her about canceling the engagement. Just give her some more money as compensation.”
It was natural to break off the engagement.
Before Anthony nodded, Presley interjected, “What cancellation? If we break it off while the Thomson family is like this, we will get criticized for being ungrateful.”
Quincey’s face turned pale with shock.
She looked incredulous. “Andrea is now a psychiatric patient. Do you want Anthony to marry a psychiatric
patient?”
Presley got up, walked over to them, and patted Anthony’s shoulder. “Men should take responsibility. We can’t abandon a woman just because she is in trouble. Andrea is meek and sensible. There’s no flaw. Once she recovers, we will continue discussing the marriage.”
Anthony pressed his lips into a straight line and glanced at Presley. “All right.”
Coldness swept over his heart, but he was more curious about Presley’s purpose.
Presley nodded in satisfaction.
Quincey’s face turned pale with anger. “Why should Anthony, with such excellent qualifications, marry a psychiatric patient when he could easily get any woman?”
Kyler and Abigail were relieved to hear Presley’s words.
Abigail immediately stepped forward. “Andrea will recover. The doctors said that she was just overstimulated. She’s not a psychiatric patient!”
Quincey was dissatisfied with Andrea for a long time because she was implicated.
However, Presley objected to canceling the engagement.
Quincey gritted her teeth in anger and pushed Abigail away.
“Why should my son marry a psychiatric patient? I oppose. Don’t even think about it. Stop dreaming!” Quincey yelled nonstop, “I don’t and will never agree!”

With Andrea around, she would never be free from that scandal.
When Presley saw this, his face darkened. He ordered Anthony directly, “Your mother is sick. Take her upstairs to
rest!”
Anthony nodded and helped Quincey upstairs.
Quincey cursed and went upstairs, feeling annoyed. “Anthony, I’ll find a richer young lady for you. There is no need to marry a psycho. Your father must be crazy.“”
She told Anthony. “Anthony, I’ll find a richer young lady for you. There is no need to marry a psycho. Your father
must be crazy.”
Anthony’s eyes flickered when he saw several medicine boxes next to the couch she sat on. “Is this for me
again?”
