Chapter 110
The noblewoman beside Andrea could not help but chime in. “She’s really shameless! You don’t have to be nice to someone like her. You’re the Hoffman family’s daughter–in–law. The next time she acts like a bitch, just slap her!”
As Genevieve listened to their conversation, she could not hold back and burst into laughter.
Then, she walked out from behind the screen.
As soon as she appeared, everyone in the room fell silent.
On the other hand, the noblewoman who had spoken glanced at Genevieve with guilt.
Genevieve immediately walked toward them, a cold smirk playing on her lips. “The Hoffman family’s daughter–in–law, huh? Why didn’t I know that Anthony had gotten married again?”
Andrea’s mother was present, too. A hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. “It’s only a matter of time. After all, Andrea has already visited his parents. And soon, they’ll discuss the engagement. She’ll be the lady of the Hoffman family in no time. She’s not someone you can afford to offend.”
Abigail’s words were a warning to Genevieve, implying that even if the latter overheard them talking behind her back, there was nothing she could do.
Genevieve could only bear with it.
A trace of panic flashed across Andrea’s face, but she quickly regained composure. “Forget it. Ms. Lawrence is here for something important.”
After Andrea said that, Abigail could not resist tapping the contract on the table. She was eager to expose her hidden agenda. “Important matters? It won’t be easy to take this contract away. Genevieve, you’ve repeatedly embarrassed my daughter! How about this? Apologize to her in front of everyone and promise not to pester Anthony anymore. Then, I’ll let you have it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced arrogantly at Genevieve.
Although Abigail was unfamiliar with the company’s affairs, she had asked Kyler before coming. He had told her that the Thomson family was the first party.
Being the first party meant they had the upper hand.
The onlookers remained silent. They enjoyed the spectacle.
Some sipped their coffee, others/adjusted the hem of their high–end dress, and a few leisurely observed the dispute with raised eyebrows.
No one sided with Genevieve./
Before the Thomson family/established a connection with the Hoffman family, they did not even
have the qualifications to attend such gatherings.
However, since Andrea became the daughter–in–law recognized by the Hoffman family, there had been a complete 180–degree shift in how they were treated within the circle.
Who would not revel in and relish such special treatment?
Andrez sat there in silence. She did not utter a word.
It was as if she was waiting for Genevieve to surrender.
Genevieve’s expression turned cold, but she approached them with a smile. “As for the contract, I won’t take it with me. The collaboration between Eagle Entertainment and the Thomson family
ends here.”
Abigail frowned and said in an unfriendly tone, “How dare you make this decision so casually?”
“Not only that, I have an important gift for the future lady of the Hoffman family!” As Genevieve spoke, she picked up an untouched glass nearby and stood before Andrea.
Andrea’s eyes flickered slightly as she looked up at Genevieve. The former’s poised and elegant expression showed a hint of nervousness.
Genevieve smiled at her. Instead of toasting, she raised the glass and gently tilted it toward Andrea’s head. Every drop landed perfectly as she poured the drink over Andrea.
Andrea’s body stiffened suddenly.

Shortly after, she lifted her head to look at Genevieve in shock. Her eyes were filled with anger disbelief. It tore her gentle facade apart. Finally, Andrea could not contain her emotions anymore. She let out a sharp and horrifying scream. “Genevieve Lawrence! You’ve gone too far!”
As she spoke, she quickly realized her reaction was too much. Andrea’s eyes turned red, and she looked at Genevieve with grievance and vulnerability, saying, “I know you don’t want anyone to take Anthony away, but the Hoffman family has chosen me. Why can’t you spare Anthony and me?”
Everyone around looked at them in shock.
Abigail saw that her daughter was being bullied, so she walked over angrily. “Genevieve, you truly are outrageous! Believe it or not, I’ll tell Anthony what you’ve done!”
“Go ahead and tell him. Do you think I’m afraid of him?” Genevieve countered while chuckling, disdain evident on her face.
She stared coldly at Andrea, her eyes exuding a piercing chill as she added, “Ms. Thomson, the next time you want to slander me behind my back, remember to choose a setting where I won’t be present. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up every time I see you!”
Even though she had said it with a smile, her eyes conveyed warning and coldness.
The intimidating chill reminded Andren of someone.
It was how Anthony glanced at her when he kicked her out of the car!
A shiver ran down Andrea’s spine, causing her to tremble slightly.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Genevieve. All I did was tell the truth. Even if you’re upset, you shouldn’t be so arrogant. You’ll get your retribution!” said Andrea.
When Genevieve heard what she said, she firmly gripped Andrea’s chin. “Stop pretending to be innocent.”
Genevieve carried herself with boldness and arrogance. She despised people like Andrea the most.
In fact, if Andrea openly stated that she wanted Anthony, Genevieve might even admire her.
Unfortunately, Andrea had done shady things behind Genevieve’s back. The latter found it disgusting.
Genevieve disdainfully shook her hand as if she had touched something dirty.
Abigail was trembling with anger. “Genevieve, you are…
“Considering your age, don’t make me resort to physical actions,” Genevieve stated as she glanced at her coldly.
Abigail’s face turned pale with anger. In an agitated state, she picked up a glass and swung it toward Genevieve’s head.
However, in the next second, someone firmly grabbed her wrist.
As soon as she looked up, the color of her lips immediately faded. “Anthony…”
Anthony exuded a chilling aura, his gaze intense. He showed no mercy in his grip.
“Are you resorting to violence? Who are you?” he questioned.
Of course, he did not know anyone from the Thomson family.
With many noblewomen watching, Abigail was embarrassed and hurriedly said, “I’m Andrea’s
mother!”
She was his future mother–in–law!,
Nevertheless, Anthony did not release his grip even after she finished speaking. Instead, he pushed her back hard, causing her to stumble and fall onto the couch.
Abigail froze and stared blankly at Anthony.
The onlookers concealed their interest, shifting their gazes away.

Andrea also stood up with a pale face. “Mr. Hoffman, Genevieve, she…”
Anthony cast a cold glance at her. He was wearing a black shirt and exuded a chilling, unrestrained aura. “I don’t care who you are. Genevieve is my woman. Whoever dares to hurt her is against mel he stated with an icy tone.
After saying that, he turned around to grab Genevieve’s arm and walked away.
The crowd gazed at their retreating figures meaningfully.
Subsequently, their attention shifted to Andrea and Abigail, with some unclear implications in their
eyes.
Abigail’s face turned from pale to red. She looked at Andrea angrily and delivered a slap. “What are you doing? How could you stand here and do nothing when someone has taken away your man?”
Andrea’s face was pale, and her lips quivered slightly. Soon, tears streamed down her face. “Mom…”
At that point, Abigail was embarrassed. She picked up her bag and left in a huff.
The weather outside abruptly darkened. As soon as Genevieve stepped out, the wind lifted the hem of her skirt.
Before Genevieve could pull the hem of her skirt down, Anthony took the initiative to bend down and straighten it out. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
She lowered her eyes to look at him coldly and indifferently. Her blue eyes showed no hint of
emotion.
Anthony observed her tanned neck. With a cool and deep voice, he said, “I was here for a business meeting and happened to hear your voice. Genevieve, you don’t have to go through all this trouble.
If we get back together, no one will bully you anymore.”
