Lucas‘ voice came from the other end of the line.
“Everything is uncertain, so don’t respond to their messages for the time being. Tomorrow I will ask my father for
a team of men to ambush in advance just to make double sure.”
“Thank you!”
Genevieve’s voice trembled slightly.
Her palms were drenched with cold sweat.
She became afraid when she assumed her brother was dead, but what if he was still alive?
Therefore, she must stay tough.
Ignoring Lucas‘ intention to help her, she felt grateful that he could help her.
After hanging up the phone, Genevieve walked out with a pale face. The servant looked at her worriedly and said, “Ms. Lawrence, the driver is waiting for you downstairs. He’s at your disposal.”
“Thank you,” she said.
Genevieve went downstairs and saw another Lincoln Stretch Limo of the same model. The driver opened the door for her and drove to the munition factory after she got into the car.
She didn’t have free access to the munition factory.
Robbin was waiting for her downstairs.
Her patience was wearing thin.
“I heard that you were in danger last night. Are you too scared to get up?” she asked irritably.
Genevieve was slightly stunned.
She got frightened but she wasn’t frightened out of her wits.

She pursed her lips and replied, “I’m fine.”
Genevieve could tell Robbin didn’t like her. If she took the initiative to please Robbin, she would get the cold shoulder. There was no way she could do that.
Therefore, she smiled faintly and didn’t explain to Robbin.
Robbin chuckled and said with disdain, “I don’t know what Lucas sees in you and why he has a crush on you for
so many years.”
She muttered to herself, unconcerned about Genevieve’s reaction.
Genevieve felt slightly uncomfortable.
After all, she knew that Lucas had a crush on her the night before.
Each floor was soundproofed, yet a faint mechanical hum could be heard.
Each floor was highly guarded, with patrols coming every three minutes.
Irven stood in front of Lucas‘ office and waited for them.
He had no access to Lucas‘ office.
When Robbin saw him, she rolled his eyes and left.
Genevieve went to open the door, and Irven followed her in.
“I heard that you moved in together last night. It’s too soon for a relationship. When will you hold a wedding? I want to be the best man!” Irven said happily.
However, Genevieve’s face stiffened.
She thought, “What the hell is he talking about?”
“Mr. Lester, you must have misunderstood me. I just stayed at his house for one night,” Genevieve interrupted, hoping he wouldn’t spread the rumor.
Irven winked at her with a meaningful look.

“Don’t you know Mr. Simpson’s affection for you? If it were me, it would have swept me right off my feet.”
Genevieve looked at him, puzzled.
“Why don’t you marry him? No one is stopping you!”
Irven was rendered speechless.
He wondered if Genevieve was still the gentle and fragile childhood sweetheart Lucas mentioned.
Irven pursed his lips and continued, “Lucas helped you a lot. I have never seen him care about a woman so much before. Ms. Lawrence, don’t you feel you’re special?”
“So the deal between a man and a woman can’t be normal, right?” Genevieve said, glancing at him sincerely.
Genevieve’s tone was edged with malice.
Irven’s awkward smile froze on his face, and he felt guilty for a moment.
After a pause, he changed the topic.
“I didn’t mean that, Ms. Lawrence. How about I ask someone to bring you some snacks?”
As he spoke, he touched his nose awkwardly and walked out.
Genevieve glanced at him. She didn’t ask him to stay because she was not in the mood to think of anything else. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
he was sitting in the office, feeling uneasy.
s soon as Irven went out, he took out his phone and called Lucas.
What? Doesn’t she know you’re childhood sweethearts? Why is she so cold? Didn’t you live together last night? Why didn’t you take the opportunity to tell her?”
ucas didn’t speak until being silent for a few seconds.
She doesn’t remember me. It’s pointless to tell her. I can help her with whatever she needs.”
Professor Simpson, are you in pure romantic love with Genevieve?” Irven asked, stood there speechlessly.

“You mobilized the mercenaries of the Simpson family to look for Genevieve’s brother without permission. Your father has already known about it, and your stepmother won’t let you go so easily. By the way, what did Gerald
say?”
“Gerald contacted Mad Dog in advance. They faked a gunshot accident together. The people they injured yesterday were Gerald’s enemies. They killed two birds with one stone. I’ve already taught them a lesson. Is Genevieve okay?” Lucas said calmly.
“Why don’t you check her out by yourself if you’re really worried about her?” Irven said in a light tone, smiling.
Then he hung up the phone.
Just as he took a few steps, he saw a dozen bodyguards in dark green clothes

while exuding a cold aura.
Seeing this, Irven immediately stopped smiling and nodded slightly at her with a solemn face.
“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Simpson.”
“Irven, I told you to watch Lucas and not to let him do anything stupid. But you dared to help him to keep me in the dark?” Carrie said calmly, glancing at him. Her voice was void of emotion.
Irven became a little tense and replied cautiously and seriously, “Mrs. Simpson, she’s just a woman. Lucas and I
didn’t take her seriously, so we didn’t want to bother you with this trivial matter!”
Carrie snorted and continued in a cold voice, “A trivial matter? Lucas mobilized our mercenaries without permission and confronted Mad Dog’s men. Doesn’t he know that Mad Dog is a vindictive person?”
rven’s expression changed slightly and he didn’t say anything.
Carrie didn’t want to hear his explanation as well. She walked past him and headed for Lucas‘ office.
Thinking of Genevieve in the office, Irven changed his face slightly and immediately followed.
Mrs. Simpson, are you going to…”

“You should spend more time with Robbin just in case she wants to break off your engagement at any time.”
Irven’s face froze slightly. He watched her push the door into the office with a group of people.
He felt a chill go down his spine.
When he was about to take out his phone to call Lucas, Robbin’s voice suddenly sounded behind him.
“It’s no use. She wants to take the opportunity to replace Lucas.”
Irven’s hand froze in place. He slowly turned his head with disbelief in his eyes.
“Did you tell her about Genevieve?” Irven asked firmly.
Robbin’s face changed slightly.
She pursed her lips and raised her chin slightly.
“Yes, I did,” she answered.
