Chapter 251
The director was watching nervously.
He hoped that Genevieve would say yes. The ratings would undoubtedly rise then.
Even after many years of experience in the industry, he had never filmed such a ridiculous plot before.
Genevieve stood up slowly, frowned, and looked at Anthony. She gritted her teeth while suppressing her anger. “I appreciate your effort. It might have worked on me three years ago when I was quite smitten. But now, I have everything except love for you.”
Genevieve couldn’t wait to get out of there.
However, Anthony stopped her and frowned slightly. “Aren’t you pleased with what I’ve done? If there’s anything unsatisfactory, you can tell me, and I’ll fix it for you!”
Genevieve stared at him coldly and rolled her eyes. “Is there anything to be pleased about? Would you be pleased if you were in my place?”
Anthony pursed his lips and said, “Of course. If it were me, I would be overjoyed!”
Genevieve was rendered speechless.
She felt her words had fallen on deaf ears.
-he took a deep breath, walked past him, and wanted to leave.
nthony shoved the rose into her arms and said, “If you are not satisfied, I will find another way. Take this for
ow!”
enevieve scowled at him. She wanted to throw the flowers on the ground, but she was afraid that people might ee it and start gossiping.
he gritted her teeth and left with the flowers.
obert looked at them aggrievedly and didn’t dare to catch up with Genevieve.

Brendan hurried over and glanced at the smug Anthony. He asked, “Tony, who came up with this idea for you?”
‘It’s so cringy and cliché. Most importantly, it embarrassed Genevieve. If it’s one of the film crew’s ideas, the person should be sacked!‘ Brendan thought to himself.
Anthony raised his eyebrows and said, “I figured it out myself.”
He was quite proud of himself and didn’t notice Genevieve’s forbearance or speechlessness.
Brendan twitched the corners of his eyes and said, “Tony, do you still want to remarry Genevieve?”
“What do you mean? Didn’t you see Genevieve leave with my flowers? It shows that she is tempted. I’ve decided to propose to her tomorrow!” Anthony said firmly.
Brendan spoke dryly after a moment, “You might as well take off your clothes and do gymnastics. Maybe she’ll
be tempted!”
Anthony’s face darkened slightly.
He had thought about it.
Despite his best efforts, he couldn’t conceive of doing it, so he gave up the idea eventually.
He couldn’t bear the embarrassment.
He could handle Genevieve stabbing him, but he would never disgrace himself.
But he didn’t mind embarrassing others.
So he found other gymnasts. He believed Genevieve felt his sincerity.
Brendan shook Anthony’s shoulder and said, “Tony, listen to me. Don’t propose tomorrow!”
“It will be humiliating if you do,‘ Brendan thought.
Anthony snorted coldly and thought, ‘You’re single. You know nothing!”
Then, he walked back briskly.

He had already bought the ring.
The rest of the crowd had still not snapped back from the recent buzz.
Everyone was envious of Genevieve, especially when they saw Anthony’s fawning over her.
The director posted a snippet of Anthony’s and Genevieve’s conversation on the Internet and announced that Genevieve and Anthony had finished their filming.
None of them noticed that under the fireworks, two women were fighting fiercely with each other.
The next morning, while everyone was still in bed, the internet was ablaze with heated discussions.
The netizens had high expectations for this show.
Everyone was excited to see the director generously release a key snippet of the show.
A netizen commented: [It’s normal to disagree, but agree? That’s unheard of! The goddess is the most beautiful!]
Another wrote: [Mr. Hoffman is so pitiful and ridiculous! Hahaha!]
Another said: [Mr. Hoffman is hopeless. Let’s get another man, Genevieve!]
Someone asked: [Am I the only one who saw Yvette and Stella fighting? Aren’t they good friends?]
Anthony was oblivious to what was brewing on the internet.
He changed his clothes and went straight to Genevieve’s door with the ring in hand.
Knock, knock!
Ximena opened the door.
Anthony frowned slightly. “Where’s Genevieve?”
After a pause, Ximena said, “Genevieve has left the film crew. She mentioned she needed to return to the company to resolve something.”

Anthony’s face darkened.
Brendan kept an eye on him.
Seeing that, he ran over immediately and said, “Tony, you scared her away!”
Anthony glanced at him and went out with a cold face.
“Tell them I won’t continue shooting,” he said.
Anthony was as capricious as always.
Brendan had anticipated this outcome.
Genevieve was the reason why Anthony had come to this show.
Brendan was afraid that Anthony would do something impulsive, so he left with him and asked his assistant to
settle the rest.
Brendan persuaded Anthony in the car, observing his poor mood. “Don’t push her too hard. Just let Genevieve catch her breath. Why the hurry?”
Anthony frowned and said in a cold voice, “How can I not hurry? Should I just wait for her to turn to another man? Can’t you see the gymnast pursuing her? How can I not worry?”
Brendan didn’t agree with Anthony. “You’ll only know if she’s right for you after a thousand ups and downs, she probably feels the same. Maybe you should consider finding another woman to act as a distraction? It might make Genevieve feel a sense of urgency. When she’s anxious, she might come after you!”
Anthony was annoyed and looked at Brendan speechlessly. “I don’t even dare to do that in my dream!”
Judging from Genevieve’s character, she might just cut contact with him for good if he really went through a thousand ups and downs before settling with her.
By the time he went back to her, Genevieve might have already had a baby with someone else.
Anthony felt upset at the thought of it. “It can never happen. I’ll never give anyone a chance.”
Brendan had many girlfriends, and they were the ones who pursued him first.

well of him.
That was all because of his outstanding personal qualities.
If Anthony could learn anything from Brendan, he wouldn’t have been dumped.
Genevieve left because there was serious business to attend to.
The bugged phone that Louis sent her got a hit.
After she ordered the anti–wiretapping, there was no news from the other end.
Genevieve was worried that the bugging device had been discovered.
But now the bugging device was activated, which could only prove that Louis had a spare phone for confidential
matters.
She was on the right track.
Genevieve hurried to Lawrence Group.
Jasper handed over the prepared recording. “Ms. Lawrence, this is the call between Louis and someone from
abroad.”
When Genevieve took it over, he heard Louis‘ familiar but cold voice. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
It was the coldest she had ever heard, almost like a deadly snake flashing its tongue, sending chills down her
spine.
“Have you got the cargo on the high seas?” Louis asked.
An old, booming voice mixed with a somewhat impure Western Epea accent sounded. “Of course, thanks to you, some people can live longer. They worship you and want to see you. I rejected them on your behalf.”
