Anthony’s mouth twitched in anger. He called Daniel and said, “For the tweet I just posted, buy the trending searches for three days!”
Daniel hesitated. He had undoubtedly seen Anthony’s tweet and was also slightly skeptical.
He pursed his lips and thought, “Can I persuade him to calm down? Both of them are exceptional. It’s just that the setting and atmosphere in his post are so ugly! If people know he posted it, Hoffman Group’s stock price will fall!
Daniel didn’t immediately agree and asked cautiously, “How about we ask the production team to post some promotional photos? Then we’ll buy trending searches to promote you and Ms. Lawrence.”
After deliberately emphasizing Anthony and Genevieve, Anthony agreed without hesitation.
Daniel breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately contacted the crew and asked them to take some nice pictures after hanging up the phone.
Although shooting at night was technically challenging, it was a piece of cake for the film crew.
The atmosphere by the sea was incredibly wonderful at night.
That was why he asked the crew to take pictures of them. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Ximena Wadle, who was in the divorcee group, also came to support Robert.
Robert called out to the women in an adorable way.
Lauraine, who arrived late, received no special treatment.
She never appeared in public, rarely went out, and had few friends.
She joined the show to impress Louis with her charms.
When she arrived, she sat down with Anthony. Next to her, Gabriel, the head of the divorcee team, came over an flattered her.

Lauraine was reserved and had a strong vanity. She didn’t reject him or show enthusiasm.
The film crew called her a freelancer.
There was a short interview during the filming.
The first one was Anthony. The crew asked, “You and Ms. Lawrence have been divorced for so long, and many people are around you two. What do you think of the men around Ms. Lawrence?”
Anthony frowned and replied, “I trust my ex–wife. Those people have nothing to do with her.”
Everyone responded with a nod.
The next turn was Genevieve.
The crew asked her a special question, “Among the men on the show, is there anyone who meets your criteria for choosing a partner?”
Genevieve smiled. After all, she was in front of a camera. She nodded gracefully, looking refined.
“Is it Mr. Anthony Hoffman?” the film crew asked.
Genevieve stopped smiling and replied, “Of course not.”
Everyone was interviewed by the film crew.
However, only Anthony and Genevieve’s interviews were released in the online promotional clip.
Suddenly, the Internet exploded into a heated discussion.
The photos were beautiful to see.
Genevieve and Anthony seemed harmonious but distant, with equally compelling auras, but they did not make
eye contact.
With that, Daniel helped Anthony buy off the fans criticizing the couple. They started commenting that the couple was a perfect match in no time.
In the end, the comments of the real fans flooded the Internet.

Those who commented it was a perfect match were criticized.
Someone wrote: [My goddess is fine on her own!]
Another commented, Anthony spent the morning with an actress. Why is he pretending to be affectionate in the afternoon?]
One asked: [Isn’t Stella in the show, too? It really is a battlefield.]
Another wrote: [Are Yvette and Stella good friends? They seem closel]
The news went viral.
It was a bit cold by the sea at night.
Robert said he was going to the mansion to find a shawl for Genevieve. Then, he quickly ran away.
Meanwhile, Genevieve smiled and drank a can of beer with Emilio.
Emilio clucked before saying, “Robert certainly has a bright future!”
Genevieve raised her eyebrows and said, “He’ll surpass you soon. Are you as fast as him?”
Emilio was speechless.
If he had been good at serving rich women, he wouldn’t have been a nobody in the circle for three years, unable to make a name for himself.
Who would pay the bill if he acted like a scion?
Emilio curled his lips and muttered, “You don’t really like him, do you?”
Genevieve frowned and smiled as she said, “I treat him like my younger brother.”
Emilio breathed a sigh of relief.
However, upon second thought, he felt something about her statement didn’t seem right.
‘Do those rich women also say to him, ‘Good boy! Let me love you?” Genevieve is not that kind of person!‘ he

thought and shrugged.
Back at the mansion, Robert was just about to leave with a shawl when he saw Lauraine standing in the doorway, staring at him like a ghost.
She was holding a black sack.
Robert was startled and greeted her politely, “Ms. Hoffman, why are you here?”
Lauraine thought, ‘I can do anything with my identity and beauty.”
She noticed the shawl in his hand and touched her shoulder. She looked pitiful as she said, “It’s a little chilly.”
Robert gripped the scarf tighter and pointed to the couch, saying, “There’s a blanket over there.”
Lauraine’s expression froze. She walked over and said in a low voice, “Do you not know who I am?”
Robert looked at her blankly.
Lauraine paused and continued, “I’m Anthony’s sister.”
Robert frowned slightly and couldn’t help but look at her again.
‘No wonder she’s as annoying as Anthony,‘ he thought.
Lauraine had finished the preamble and then took out a paper bag, saying, “Put this medicine in Genevieve’s drink, and I’ll give you 20,000 dollars.”
Robert was shocked, and his jaw dropped.
He stepped back, not daring to touch the bag.
Lauraine stepped forward and said with a smile, “It’s very simple. No one will know. As long as you do what I say, I’ll make you famous on this show and give you lots of resources later on. How about that?”
Robert immediately shook his head and replied, “I won’t do that.”
Lauraine’s expression darkened, and she gave him a warning look. She said, “If you don’t, I can get rid of you right now.”

Robert stared blankly and took the bag with shaking hands.
Lauraine smiled with satisfaction. She thought he was intimidated by her and had to do it no matter what.
Even if the truth was eventually exposed, she paid him in cash instead of making a transaction, and there was no evidence that she did so.
Lauraine took the 20,000–dollar cash from her bag into his arms.
To her surprise, Robert didn’t hide upstairs. Instead, he grabbed the money and ran out.
Lauraine frowned slightly and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, so she chased him.
Robert ran over to Genevieve.
The big, strong, charming boy suddenly burst into tears.
Genevieve was startled and put down her beer to calm him down.
Emilio was stunned.
Robert cried and took out the drug and money, looking very aggrieved. He said, “Ms. Hoffman asked me to drug you and gave me 20,000 dollars. She said that if I don’t do it, I won’t be allowed to stay on the show.”
Emilio’s expression suddenly changed.
“Damn it…” Genevieve grumbled. She opened the sack and saw it was full of money.
She narrowed her eyes. She looked coldly at Lauraine as the latter came out of the mansion.
Lauraine paused, feeling slightly anxious, but soon regained her composure.
She turned and walked toward Anthony.
