Quincey’s tone was strong and forceful as she said, “Stop right there. Since you plan on leaving, send Ms. Thomson away while you’re at it. She just said she has something urgent to tend to!”
Quincey winked at Andrea, who immediately understood and walked over cheerily.
Anthony frowned and glanced at his watch.
“There’s not enough time. Get the driver!”
Andrea quickly approached him and said, “Mr. Hoffman, you can just take me to the entrance of Hoffman Group. My destination is nearby.”
Lauraine also went over to them.
“Tony, I’m heading there too. Please take me with you!” she exclaimed.
Anthony gave her a blank stare.
“Come on.”
Andrea gave Lauraine a grateful look. The latter blinked.
Lauraine had a feeling that Andrea was friendlier and kinder than Genevieve, even though she had only been in contact with the woman for several short moments.
The driver was waiting outside. Anthony got into the back seat.
In order to create an opportunity for Andrea, Lauraine took the passenger seat.
The interior of the car was delicately furnished. Its taste was similar to Anthony’s.
Andrea was rather nervous. She gleefully thought of something to talk about.
“Is your injury all right, Mr. Hoffman? Your mother was worried sick after finding out that you were hurt. You should stay home and spend time with her more often!”
Anthony was resting with his eyes closed. His face was cold and sullen; he did not have the slightest. intention to respond.
The atmosphere inside the car was terribly cold.
Lauraine kindly helped her out by adding smilingly, “No wonder Mom likes you, Andrea. She even wants you to be her daughter–in–law. I think you should take care of my brother so that he won’t get
hurt.”
Andrea lowered her head in embarrassment upon being teased.
Anthony slowly opened his eyes and cast Lauraine a cold, warning look.

Lauraine could not help but stick out her tongue.
“I was just kidding. Don’t be mad, Tony!”
Andrea clenched her fingers. Her eyes flashed ever so slightly. She changed the subject casually.
“Before heading to the Hoffman residence, I went shopping for gifts and happened to bump into Ms. Lawrence. She was having a barbecue with Louis. The two seemed to be having a good time, and they even fed each other. They didn’t seem to be ordinary friends. Lauraine, you’ve been following Louis for quite some time. Are they dating?”
Lauraine’s face instantly darkened.
She replied, “Of course not. They’re just working together.”
Her tone was cold as her eyes flashed with anger.
Andrea smiled gently and said, “Ms. Lawrence doesn’t seem to have a sense of propriety when she is with a man. Last time, when she was out talking about business with Mr. Lawrence, she was practically clinging onto him, but the man seemed to buy it. What sort of magic powers does she
have?”
Lauraine’s face darkened even more. She gritted her teeth in displeasure.
Andrea looked at Anthony’s expressionless profile. Her soft voice seemed to be deliberately leading in a certain direction.
“Mr. Hoffman, you have known her for so long. You should have seen through her long ago, right?” she asked.
Anthony’s eyes were cold as he pursed his lips. His demeanor was as chilly as a frozen pond on a winter’s day, so much so that people would tremble at the sight.
“I don’t see how better you are when you’ve been fabricating lies about my wife. Stop the car!” he barked.
The driver stopped the vehicle immediately.
Anthony’s face was gloomy. His eyes grew cold.
He looked at Andrea and ordered, “Get off.”
Andrea’s face turned pale and her body stiffened for a moment.
“Mr. Hoffman, what I said is true! Don’t be fooled by that Genevieve. She has ulterior motives toward you…”
“I don’t want to say it again. Scram!” he commanded.
Anthony’s aura chilled in an instant, and his voice became extremely cold.
He had nothing more to say, and the word “seram” was enough to make anyone lose their dignity.
He was at the end of his tether to be in the same car with a woman like that.
Frowning slightly, Lauraine wanted to speak for Andrea, but before she could do so, Anthony. warned her, “If you want to get out of here with her, be my guest.”
He would not let anyone change his mind once he had decided..
Lauraine instantly shut up.
Andrea clutched her clothes tightly. The pitiful look on her pale face resembled Rosalie.
But Rosalie had never been in such a quandary.
A tinge of crimson came in touch with fair skin as her eyes reddened.
“Are you angry at me, Mr. Hoffman? I did not do her injustice. You are both divorced. Am I not allowed to tell the truth? If you are not pleased, I shall apologize.”
It was utterly embarrassing to be thrown out of the car by a man you like.
Anthony slightly lifted his pair of cold eyes. His tone was extremely indifferent as he said, “I’m not the one you should apologize to. Who are you to slander her indiscriminately? You are vicious and incompetent. You don’t even know the most basic etiquette. Don’t step foot into the Hoffman residence from now on. Get out!”
His words undoubtedly shattered Andrea’s dream.
Andrea fixed her eyes on him in shock. Her whole body stiffened.
“Wasn’t it true that Genevieve thought of every way possible in order to marry Anthony, and Anthony had long been dissatisfied with her? Why has Anthony reacted so dramatically once I told the truth?’ she wondered.
She could not help but tremble slightly.
Anthony’s bland temperament vanished, as though his true colors had been exposed. Every word he said revealed no mercy, slapping her hot in the face.
The driver got out of the car and opened the door for her.
“Ms. Thomson, please?” he pleaded.
Andrea could not hold on any longer. She covered her face in grievance and anger, got out of the car, and ran away.
The driver got on the vehicle again and started the engine.
Lauraine was rather uneasy.
“Andrea, will Andrea be in danger if she leaves like this?” she asked.
Anthony’s eyes darkened. He remarked coldly. “If you’re worried about her, you may join her!”
Lauraine pursed her lips. She believed that what Andrea had said was right too.
Genevieve was certainly a two–timer. Her relationship with Anthony was ambiguous, and she was quite close to Louis.
But Lauraine did not intend to fall out with Anthony over Andrea.
“Tony, I have agreed to go shopping with other people!” she reminded him.
Anthony looked at her in silence and went back to resting with his eyes closed.
He suddenly recalled that time when Genevieve had left him when they were on the road. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She seemed really angry back then.
Why else would she be so cruel?
Even so, he would not allow anyone to defame her.
Those who did not know Genevieve knew nothing!
At Aisling Club, the band specially invited to perform was extremely popular, so much so that the guests would dance with relish even as they stood at the corners of the bar.
When Genevieve and Selene met, they completely forgot their troubles.
Selene pulled her to the dance floor.
Genevieve was quite stubborn to begin with, but when she arrived on the stage, the music changed and all her cells seemed to egg her on.
She had only learned dancing from Samantha for a few days before, and gave up due to lack of interest, but the foundation was still there.
Her curves were well–proportioned, and her figure was delicate and charming. She had bright eyes. and elegant features. Her dance moves attracted attention.
She was dressed in a dark green strap dress, which made her resemble a fish floating on the bottom of the sea. Her gaze and smile were enchanting as well, commanding a sense of pull that was both pure and alluring.
Under the flickering lights, the dazzling colors, the beating of the rhythm
