Genevieve figured it out.
She smiled, “That must be someone very important to you. I’m really honored to be born on the same day as the person who means a lot to Professor Simpson.”
Lucas twitched the corner of his mouth and remained silent.
He pushed the door and went in.
He
went to the window for a soggy purse with his important stuff in it.
Genevieve followed, only to find that the thick stack of cash she had given was still drying on the balcony. It was
neatly placed there and almost dried.
Lucas slowly sorted out the things in his purse.
Seeing this, Genevieve went to collect the cash.
Lucas was from the Simpson family. No matter how poor he was, he wouldn’t give a damn about this sum of
money.
She really made a fool of herself!
She clutched the cash neatly and was about to put it back into her bag when she saw a clean and slender hand reaching out in front of her.
She froze slightly and looked at him blankly.
Lucas looked at her more confusedly.
“Isn’t this my money?”
Genevieve immediately paused, took out her hands, and handed the money to him. She smiled, “I’m sorry that!
didn’t realize it.”
Could it be that she was wrong? Lucas wanted this sum of money?

Instead of putting the money into his bag, Lucas found an envelope and stuffed it in.
Even Genevieve couldn’t respect the money like he did.
He walked out with the envelope and the purse.
“Let’s go.”
O
Just as Genevieve was about to follow him, she suddenly saw a one–inch photo on the ground. Obviously, it accidentally dropped out just now.
She squatted down and picked it up.
When she saw the photo, she paused slightly.
In the photo, there was a girl about three or four years old, wearing a sky–blue couture dress. She held a bouquet of flowers in her hand and ran over excitedly to the camera.
Behind her was an endless beach.
The photo was captured at that moment.
Genevieve’s heart seemed to skip a beat.
The familiarity overwhelmed her and made her feel strange.
he girl in the photo…
he photo in her hand was suddenly taken away.
ucas stuffed the photo into his purse and put it more carefully.
enevieve seemed to have found some secrets, and hurriedly spoke, “The girl in the photo looked a little like me
hen I was a child!”
cas looked at her with dark eyes and said nothing.
enevieve was afraid that he might misunderstand something.

“Perhaps beautiful girls were also beautiful when they were little!”
Lucas forced a smile, then turned around and left expressionlessly.
Genevieve imagined the relationship between Lucas and the girl in the photo.
The photo was taken when the girl was little, not when she grew up.
Did Lucas fail to win the girl’s heart?
Or did she die of a disease?
The more Genevieve thought about it, the more she felt it made sense.
She felt sympathy and admiration for Lucas.
Lucas was born into a rich family, but he worked as an ordinary professor here. He was a good teacher and was willing to help others.
This image was really too far–reaching!
Genevieve followed him out.
She thought Lucas must choose to travel on foot or by bike.
But she
e was wrong.
A stretched Lincoln arrived in front of her. When Lucas opened the car door for her, she had not yet come back to
her senses.
“Please.”
Lucas urged.
Genevieve smiled again, thanked him, and got in the car.
Some people were looking over here, but they seemed to be accustomed to it.
Lucas sat opposite her and looked at her expression. He knew what she was thinking, so he explained lightly, “I

have never deliberately concealed or publicized my identity. I only choose the lifestyle that I like.”
He wouldn’t deliberately choose minimalist means of transportation to hide his identity.
He was so open–minded that he didn’t need to disguise anything to maintain his public persona.
He enjoyed being a professor and sitting in a Lincoln.
They were just hobbies.
Why should he sacrifice one hobby to another?
Genevieve paused and smiled softly to praise him, “Professor Simpson, you know how to enjoy life.”
“Ms. Lawrence, can’t you? This car is very comfortable. What do you think, Ms. Lawrence?”
He took out a glass of wine from the side and handed it to her.
Genevieve took it and smiled. She was not interested in this extravagance.
At least she enjoyed life, but not in the car!
She didn’t understand it, but she respected it!
“Of course, it’s great!”
She praised him with a smile.
Lucas nodded with satisfaction.
“A friend of mine said he likes this car very much, so what I have collected are cars from this brand. If Ms. Lawrence likes it, I’ll give you some for free!”
Genevieve paused and said with a smile, “I appreciate your kindness, but I can’t accept it. I’m used to driving by
myself.”
“I see.”
Lucas seemed to be disappointed.

Genevieve was puzzled.
But soon they reached their destination.
The light outside suddenly dimmed as the car was moving.
She looked out.
The front and back were covered by dense tall trees, like a small forest. Nothing inside could be seen.
As the road winded upward, the light from the sky was blocked.
There was a smell of suffocation and wildness.
It made people lose interest in finding out what happened.
Through the forest, there was a vast open space, but it seemed very cold and deadly still.
A black reinforced concrete building stood not far away. Its cold and awe–inspiring appearance made people feel
terrified.
This was a black building, but many folds around it had been crushed by vehicles.
It felt wild and dangerous.
The vehicle stopped in front of the black building.
Genevieve got out of the car.
wo men in camouflage stood at the gate with weapons in their hands, looking cold and fierce.
enevieve was stunned and looked back.
ucas also got out of the car, with a familiar smile on his face.
Are you frightened? This is the territory of the Simpson family.”
enevieve’s chest heaved.

Chapter 268
She realized something in her heart.
Suddenly, she realized that the information Jasper could find was a little shallow.
She thought, ‘Is it only because of their business skills that they can be on a par with Wayne and even remain to be the most powerful family for so many years?”
She forced a smile. She didn’t want to have too much contact with these families.
But when it came to Jeffrey’s life, she felt that none of this was a problem.
She calmed down and nodded with a smile.
“Professor Simpson, it seems that you really trust mel”
“Because no one can help you except me now. Of course, I trust you.”
Lucas smiled lightly and then walked in with her.
She followed him in. The building was quiet from top to bottom.
But she knew that the secret inside this building was something everyone wanted to find out.
Lucas unlocked the first lock with his pupils and got into the elevator.
Without pressing the button, the elevator automatically went up to a certain floor.
When they arrived, the elevator door opened.
Opposite a corridor, there was a wall made of special glass.
Genevieve could vaguely see all kinds of… weapons.
