Chapter 249
However, Lauraine’s expression froze as she exited the changing room.
At a distance of about 10 feet, Robert was on a tree, picking coconuts.
Genevieve looked up, wrapped in her shawl, and pointed at the largest coconut. “Move slightly to the left…”
After Genevieve finished speaking, she saw a group of women come out.
Lauraine’s gaze was off and her lips were pale.
She looked at Genevieve regretfully and fearfully. ‘If Genevieve is here, who’s in the pool?”
Genevieve paused, looking around.
She suddenly remembered Yvette’s words. “Nobody can tell us apart now.” Her expression changed.
Genevieve’s expression chilled to ice as she shouted, “Where is Yvette?”
Stella trembled and shook her head. “I don’t know. I didn’t see her.”
Genevieve was anxious. She observed Yvette changing her clothes before diving into the pool, making it clear
that Yvette wouldn’t depart on her own.
She strode to Lauraine, seizing her by the collar tightly, and asked in a cold, indifferent tone, “You’re seeking death, aren’t you?”
Lauraine’s eyes narrowed, and her lips turned pale. She trembled and couldn’t speak.
The people surrounding them exchanged puzzled glances.
They didn’t know why Genevieve’s attitude suddenly changed.
The next second, Genevieve pushed her away and ran to the pool.
Anthony was always attentive towards Genevieve, ensuring that he was aware of even the slightest difficulty she might face.

From a brief distance away, he had a sudden realization and sprang to his feet, chasing after Genevieve.
Ximena stared at his legs in disbelief, her shock evident. “Has your leg recovered, Mr. Hoffman?”
He ran straight in without answering.
A figure in a light–colored swimsuit appeared to be floating in the pool.
Drenched from the pool, Genevieve was trying to pull the person out. “Yvette, stay with me!”
She pushed Yvette against the swimming pool wall. Without hesitation, Anthony hurried over to help her up.
When he tried to help Genevieve, she pushed him away. “Leave me alone! All of you don’t care about human life, do you? What a crazy family!”
Her fury was so interise that it drained the color from her face, leaving it pallid and distressed.
She knelt beside Yvette, shaking, and performed chest compressions and artificial respiration.
Anthony was deep in thought, his eyes clouded with intensity.
Shortly thereafter, they all arrived.
Upon witnessing it, the expressions of everyone present changed.
“Call a doctor!” Genevieve shouted loudly and with misery.
A person in the crowd called for a doctor, and then Genevieve moved aside.
She felt very weak and slumped to one side.

When Brendan came over, he was so shocked that he couldn’t say anything.
That was a serious accident.
Anthony stood there silently with a frigid expression. His fists were clenched tightly, betraying the anger simmering in his eyes, which seemed on the verge of erupting at any moment.

Brendan approached and asked in a deep volce, “What happened?”
Anthony’s eyes held a chilling intensity, and his posture was rigid with tension.
The doctor continued to give first aid for a few minutes.
After five minutes, Yvette eventually spat out water and started to breathe weakly.
Upon witnessing that, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.
The next moment, Genevieve suddenly stood up and ran out angrily.
Lauraine packed her luggage and was ready to go, but Genevieve stopped her when she got downstairs. “What are you doing?”
Despite her fear, she envied Genevieve’s luck, who had once more effortlessly escaped a predicament.
Genevieve was furious, fixed Lauraine with an icy stare, and slapped her in the face.
Lauraine was not as physically strong as Genevieve, especially since Genevieve was using all her strength.
She didn’t even have a chance to dodge.
Lauraine angrily covered her face and glared at Genevieve in shock. “How dare you slap me?”
She believed Genevieve wouldn’t reveal anything in a public setting like the film crew.
However, the next second, Genevieve grabbed Lauraine’s hair and pulled her outside without hesitation.
Lauraine kept screaming and struggling, but Genevieve didn’t let go.
Genevieve yanked Lauraine’s hair hard while Lauraine scolded her intensely.
Upon arriving at the pool, everyone deliberately cleared a path.
Then Genevieve forcefully pulled Lauraine’s hair, pressing her head underwater.
Lauraine’s face turned pale as she screamed in fear.

Everyone held their breath, captivated by the unfolding drama, no one daring to intervene as Genevieve engaged in such reckless behavior.
The pool’s water level soared above Lauraine’s head. Moments later, Genevieve yanked her hair upward to let her breathe.
Before she finished catching her breath, Genevieve submerged her head in the water once more.
After being repeatedly dunked in water five or six times, Lauraine was too weak to struggle.
She contorted her body in an awkward position and lay by the pool, crying and pleading for Anthony’s help.
However, Anthony remained motionless, observing the scene with indifference.
He didn’t intend to help or stop her.
Despite the swimming pool’s thermostatic water control, Lauraine was overwhelmed by an intense chill. The water enveloped her ears, plunging her into a sensation akin to deafness.
She was too weak to defend herself against Genevieve’s torment.
Genevieve forcefully pushed her into the water, making it impossible for her to fight back.
For the last time, everyone silently watched for a minute as Genevieve didn’t pull her out of the water.
Lauraine lay still, her head underwater and half her body soaked by the pool, resembling a lifeless figure.
Everyone at the pool was silent.
The silence was filled with panic and terror.
Ultimately, Brendan approached, lifted Genevieve, and dragged Lauraine out of the water. “Doctor…”
Upon receiving Genevieve’s icy gaze, Brendan tightened his lips before speaking. “It’s difficult to explain why someone died, Genevieve.”
Especially in front of so many people.
He watched Genevieve go mad while Anthony didn’t care.
