The doctor trembled slightly and immediately said, “Of course not. I mean, it might not be the problem of Ms. Simpson, but the room.”
When Carrie heard this, her expression changed subtly, and she immediately raised her head and gave a signal to
a servant.
But before the person took any action, Daniel got a head start.
Bill’s face was extremely sullen.
It was not that he didn’t believe in his family members, but he thought it ridiculous that Anthony wouldn’t come all the way to frame him!
When Daniel and the doctor came out of that room, there was no obvious emotion on their faces.
The doctor said with a heavy heart, “There was a faint fragrance of a certain type of essential oil in the room. It sells very well in red–light districts abroad due to its efficiency.”
The rest of the people understood quickly.
Carrie felt a little relieved and said, “So, you didn’t find any evidence, right? Do you want to slander Robbin
without proof?”
“We didn’t find the oil, but the smell is still lingering in the air. If we call a specialist within twenty minutes to do a test, I think we can get an accurate result.”
The doctor looked at Anthony, waiting for his order.
Bill took a deep breath, his eyes sweeping from Carrie to Robbin.
Then he said in a cold and hoarse voice, “Anthony, it’s my fault. I’m sorry for causing you such an inconvenience. Let’s stop here. I believe you and I’ll deal with it. You and your men can leave first!”
Anthony glanced at Bill coldly and replied, “Mr. Simpson, if this matter can’t be properly solved, it may affect our cooperation. But I believe you.”

Then he walked towards Genevieve, who was standing in the corner. “Let’s go. I’ll drive home.”

Genevieve frowned slightly and refused, “I don’t need it.”
Lucas added gently, “Don’t worry, Mr. Hoffman. I will send Ms. Lawrence home later.”
Lucas‘ words obviously irritated Anthony. His eyes turned cold and his chest heaved slightly even though he tried to conceal his displeasure.
“Who do you think you’re?‘ thought Anthony.
He glanced at Lucas coldly and said in a deep voice, “No need. I’m going in the same direction!”
Then he took Genevieve by the wrist and walked out with a cold face.
Genevieve was stunned for a moment and then attempted to disengage herself from his grip but failed.
“Anthony…” Genevieve called out in a low voice.
She didn’t expect that Anthony would be so presumptuous without any scruples in public.
Lucas grabbed Genevieve’s other hand and said with a tough look, “Mr. Hoffman, Ms. Lawrence is my guest. You can’t take her away at will.”
The atmosphere became intense suddenly.
Anthony turned back at Lucas unpleasantly.
A fight came into his eyes and with a freezing cold voice and he replied, “What if I insist?”
There was a bit of threat and coldness in his tone.
It was as if both sides were about to clash in a fight in the next second.
However, Lucas showed no intention of concession either.
Genevieve’s heart paused slightly.
She thought, ‘God save me! I don’t want to bring myself into any trouble!”

Right now, Anthony looked like he was on the verge of madness. Genevieve couldn’t imagine what he would do if she didn’t go with him.
Genevieve took a deep breath and smiled at Lucas, explaining, “Lucas, Mr. Hoffman and I are acquaintances. Hel may have something to talk about with me. I’ll go back with him today. I’ll contact you later.”
Lucas gazed at Genevieve for a period before slowly letting go of his hand.
Anthony gave Lucas a provocative glance and then left with Genevieve.
The whole house was brightly lit, but no one dared to make any sound.
Carrie had been suppressing her anger during the whole process since Bill didn’t give her any face in front of outsiders tonight.
Everything happened so quickly and suddenly that she didn’t prepare for it at all.
Thinking of this, she turned around to Robbin and slapped her in the face.
It was a resounding smack.
Carrie questioned with a ferocious look, “What happened tonight?”
Robbin sobbed and covered her face, answering in a broken voice, “Mom- it’s not me. He took advantage of me today. You all saw it…”
Carrie looked gloomy and said in a shrill voice, “If he has an interest in you, he doesn’t have to hide it from us at all. Why don’t you tell me the truth now?”
Robbin bit her lips, refusing to confess.
Finally, Carrie sighed and said to Bill, “Maybe, Robbin is innocent.”
However, Bill snorted coldly, “You insisted on keeping her. She has used the same trick more than once.”
Finishing his words, Bill turned around and went upstairs.
After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Carrie his penetrating eyes, saying, “I told you before you should be responsible for her behavior if she wanted to stay in this family. Now you’d better think carefully

about how to apologize to Anthonyl”
Carrie’s face turned pale when she heard the request. She took a deep breath and roared, “Do we have to take that Anthony seriously? Who the hell is he?”
Carrie knew all the big business clients who cooperated with Bill, but she didn’t remember that she had seen
Anthony.
So, she had a sense that Bill was hiding something from her, which made her uneasy and anxious. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Bill narrowed his eyes and said sharply, “You don’t have to know it.”
Then he walked straight up.
Carrie couldn’t keep her composure any longer and turned to Lucas, asking, “Do you know him?”
Lucas’s mouth quirked up.
He didn’t say anything but took out a thumb–sized glass bottle from his pocket and showed it in front of Robbin.
Robbin’s face changed immediately.
The grievance in her eyes was replaced by panic and fear.
Lucas glanced at Robbin indifferently and then turned around to leave.
Carrie instantly understood when she saw the bottle.
She gritted her teeth and pulled Robbin to the room at the end of the corridor.
Robbin’s body was trembling slightly. ” Mom…”
“What do you want to do? Tell me!” Carrie requested with a cold voice. At first, she really thought that Robbin was molested, so she wanted to take the opportunity to manipulate Anthony who was treated with respect even by Bill.
Unexpectedly Anthony chose to make a big scene at the risk of turning against Bill in public.
Robbin bit her lower lip and said, “Mom, I just want to help you. Mr. Hoffman is much more useful than Irven,

isn’t he?”
Carrie looked at Robbin quietly for a few seconds and then smiled.
On the way back in the car, Genevieve’s face reflected on the glass of the window.
She didn’t speak a single word after getting into the car, and neither did Anthony.
The atmosphere in the car was a little suffocating.
Finally, Anthony couldn’t help but ask, “What’s your relationship with Lucas?”
