Chapter 100
Genevieve looked up and met Anthony’s eyes in bewilderment.
Anthony paused and asked, “Don’t you want to see it?”
Genevieve glanced at his wrist. At that point, it had become swollen and badly bruised.
It? I’m ju
“Who wants to see it? I’m just afraid that you’ll latch onto me because of this, Genevieve replied.
Anthony smiled and said, “That’s exactly what I had in mind.”
Genevieve looked at Anthony speechlessly.
Anthony slowly put down his hand and looked at her with a smile.
“Admit it, Genevieve, you’re worried about me. You’re so worried you can’t help it. You’re very good at golf, but you missed your last shot because you were anxious, right?” said Anthony.
Anthony’s words were like a stone thrown into the calm lake, making ripples.
Genevieve’s delicate brows moved slightly, but her gaze remained cold and indifferent.
“You’re overthinking it, Anthony. I didn’t miss it because I was anxious. I did it on purpose. 36 million dollars in 15 strokes is already. enough for the investment,” replied Genevieve.
Anthony squinted and settled down, trying to figure out Genevieve’s mood when she spoke.
Finally, he chuckled confidently
“I don’t believe it. You are lying,” he said.
Genevieve turned her head away without a word. She refused to speak to Anthony anymore.
‘Why didn’t I notice before that Anthony could be so infuriating?‘ she thought.
Anthony’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He thought Genevieve was too shy to admit that.
Then, he changed the subject and said, “Duncan has been in trouble recently. Did your best friend do it?”
Genevieve paused and blinked.
“It’s Mr. Cook’s problem, isn’t it? What does it have to do with Selene?” asked Genevieve.
and laid a hand on Selene in the clubhouse.
Things had not been going well for Duncan since he teased Genevieve and
Not only did the projects Duncan contracted have a series of issues regarding their quality, but there were also requests for refunds on the houses sold. Most importantly, he did not receive a single cent of payment that he was supposed to get for the rest of the project.
In reality, Selene was behind many of them. Genevieve also let Jeffrey secretly add fuel to the fire.
After all, Genevieve couldn’t stand by and watch Selene get bullied. Not to mention, Genevieve was also
iso involved.

Anthony lowered his eyes to look at Genevieve and said in a deep voice, “I didn’t know that your friend was so capable.”
Genevieve smiled and said, “So, what you’re trying to say is you didn’t expect a person like me to have a rich and powerful friend like
Selene, right?”
Anthony frowned and said, “I didn’t say that.”
Genevieve chuckled and thought, ‘But that’s what you think. Liar!”
Genevieve felt that everyone around Anthony thought she wasn’t good enough for him. She thought he felt the same way. Otherwise, why would he ignore her for three years?
In a sarcastic tone, Genevieve said, “It doesn’t matter if you think so. Selene probably saw how smart, beautiful, and generous I am. She’s not a shallow person like you!”
The corners of Anthony’s mouth twitched, and he could not help but laugh.
“Are you blaming me for not paying enough attention to you?” asked Anthony.
Genevieve’s smile faded and she rolled her eyes.
“Are you even listening?” asked Genevieve:
Anthony was rendered speechless.
Meanwhile, the driver in front of them was so terrified, he didn’t dare say a
At that moment, the atmosphere in the car fell silent.
That silence continued throughout the whole journey.

Anthony wanted to find a topic to ease the atmosphere, but he was not that kind of person. In the end, he could only stare at
Genevieve,
Genevieve turned her head away and looked outside the car window. She acted as though she was invisible.
‘I’ll just have to bear with it a little while longer!‘ she thought.
They then arrived at the hospital.
his swollen wrist was terminal.
The nurses couldn’t take their eyes off Anthony when they saw him and gathered around him as if his swolle
Completely surrounded, Anthony became visibly irritated, and his face darkened.
He stood up and glanced over to see Genevieve standing outside the crowd, leisurely playing with her phone.
He immediately scowled.
Meanwhile, the nurses around Anthony asked him where he felt uncomfortable and poured water for him attentively.
Anthony stood tall and cold. With a somewhat frightening aura, he said indifferently, “Please go and ask my wife to come in.”
As soon
n as he said that, the room fell silent.
The nurses were disappointed, but they couldn’t help but look at the cold, beautiful woman outside.
Chapter 100
Indeed, Anthony and Genevieve looked like a perfect match. The two seemed to be on an equal footing with each other.
The nurses then went out one after another and looked at Genevieve. In a less cordial tone, one said, “Your husband asked you to
come in.”
Genevieve looked up blankly.
She thought, “Husband?
“What the hell.
“Did Anthony get hit on the wrist or the head?
Feeling a little angry, Genevieve walked in with her phone.
“Anthony, who’s my husband?” she asked.
Anthony looked at her with a half–smile and replied gently, “What do you think?”
“I hope you can behave yourself. You might not care, but I still want to get married in the future!” Genevieve snapped.
As soon as Genevieve said that, Anthony’s smile froze on his lips.
Anthony thought, ‘Get married?
“Who else could she marry but me?
‘This woman really pisses me off all the time.
‘It’s okay. I can forgive her.
Anthony raised his swollen wrist and asked. “My hand is injured, yet you left me here alone?”
Genevieve replied faintly, “You can walk, can’t you?”
Just as Genevieve finished speaking, the hospital director rushed in with several experts from different fields.
“Ms. Lawrence, Mr. Hoffman.”
Anthony was
stunned when he saw the director. He looked at Genevieve meaningfully.
‘See? She said she didn’t care, yet she secretly contacted the director for me, he thought.
The director coughed, steadied his breathing, and said, “I thought the nurses were mistaken when they said they saw the two of you here. What’s wrong, Mr. Hoffman?”
Anthony also had shares in that private hospital. Thus, he was also a boss behind the hospital.
Anthony’s smile gradually disappeared. He took a deep look at Genevieve and seemed to be slightly angry.
The director looked at Anthony’s expression and noticed something was wrong with the latter’s wrist. The director immediately asked someone to go to Anthony.
“Dr. Zeller, quick. Take a look at Mr. Hoffman’s hand. Who in the world dared to do this? This is very serious!” said the director.
Chapter 100
Several doctors immediately approached Anthony.
Genevieve was pushed to the back again. Just as she was about to continue replying to messages on her phone, Anthony said in a deep voice, “Ms. Lawrence did it.”
The director fell silent immediately. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn’t know what to say.
Meanwhile, Genevieve put away her phone, walked over, and calmly asked, “How is his condition? Is it serious?”
Samuel Zeller looked serious after the examination and replied, “It’s quite serious. For now, it seems that the tendon in injured. There are bruises, too. It’d be severe if there’s inflammation and worse if the bone is fractured. Mr. Hoffman, does your arm feel numb
now?”
Anthony nodded slightly.
Samuel’s face turned grim.
“You’ve probably fractured a bone. You’ll need to be hospitalized,” said Samuel.
Initially, Genevieve thought that the injury would not be too serious. However, after hearing the doctor’s diagnosis, it turned out to be much worse than she had expected.
Genevieve’s heart sank slightly. After all, Anthony was injured because of her. There was no way she could stay indifferent.

“You never even said it hurt. I thought it was nothing.” she said.
Anthony glanced at Genevieve. His expression softened as he suppressed his cold aura and said, “I was afraid that you’d cry out of worry. I didn’t want you to be too sad.”
At the same time, Anthony thought, ‘How touched would she be to hear me say that?
“Will that make her
er eyes turn red? Will she rush to hug
and comfort me?‘
Genevieve
was at a loss for words.
