Chapter 20 The man entered the conference room, his gestures exuding an aura of nobility and authority. His deep gaze happened to fall on Genevieve, and he nodded slightly. This little detall went unnoticed. Genevieve was caught off guard by it. Quickly averting her gaze, she focused on the information about this man’s background. Fallon Group was a formidable entity overseas with a mysterious background. Louis Fallon, the recently appointed head of Fallon Group, was known for his ruthlessness and decisiveness. He successfully carved a path through intense competition within the group, seizing control and consolidating power. Lawrence Group placed significant importance on this cooperation. Louis‘ personal presence signified the sincerity of Fallon Group, emphasizing the imperative nature of collaboration between the two corporations. Genevieve was present merely to listen to the meeting, but the depth and breadth of the projects they discussed were both shocking and exciting. The meeting lasted for one hour. Jeffrey and Louis reached a tentative agreement, and the discussion took on a light–hearted tone. Once the meeting concluded and everyone had left, Jeffrey invited Louis to join him in his office, and Louis readily agreed. Jeffrey looked back at Genevieve and greeted, “Gen, join us.” Genevieve didn’t have a chance to say no. Either way, she was curious about Louis‘ resemblance with Anthony.

You once mentioned that anyone can recognize her at a glance in the crowd, as she is the most dazzling, Mr. Lawrence, Louis replied. The corners of Louis‘ lips curled upward, and his indifference faded. He seemed to exude both goodness and a hint of mischief, but in the next second, he approached Genevieve. Subconsciously, she raised her head as his cold and scented aura drew near. Louis held out his hand. His gaze was deep. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Lawrence,” he said. 1/5 A 0 Chapter 20 M BN 15:33 Genevieve smiled and shook his hand gently before quickly letting it go. For some reason, she couldn’t see through Louis, sensing that he was hiding something. However, she was unsure whether it was a sign of danger or something else. “Eagle Entertainment is the largest entertainment company in the country. I’ve always had an interest in investing in the entertainment industry. When the opportunity arises, I would like to seek your advice, Ms. Lawrence. Would that be acceptable?” he said. Genevieve paused and answered politely with a smile, “I’m flattered. It is our honor to cooperate with you.” When Louis heard such an answer, a smile seemed to flicker in his eyes. It disappeared in a flash. He then turned to Jeffrey for a quick chat. Soon after, his assistant urged him for the next meeting. When he left, there were only Jeffrey and Genevieve in the office. Genevieve couldn’t help asking him, Jeffrey, did you realize that he looks like…” Jeffrey knew that she would ask about it. That was why he asked her to stay. “Louis‘ aunt, Linda, is the first wife of Anthony’s father. It is not surprising that they bore some resemblance,” he answered. Genevieve was slightly taken aback. Then, she nodded. ‘No wonder they look somewhat alike. It turns out that they are cousins, thought Genevieve. “The Hoffman family went through a difficult divorce with Linda in the past, resulting in a lack of cooperation between them. Louis, however, is not just investing in collaborative projects with Lawrence Group in Clusia. He intends to expand their business in this region. We need to collaborate and remain vigilant, Jeffrey explained. Jeffrey didn’t make things clear, but Genevieve understood him. She nodded in reply.

Could you please take him to the hospital?” he asked. 2/5 D Chapter 20 Before the driver could finish asking for Genevieve’s help, Louis had already exited the car. He was dressed in a black shirt and pants, exuding a cold and noble temperament. His eyes were deep and dark, and his forehead was indeed scraped. However, there were no injuries beyond that. He bowed slightly, polite and courteous, but at the same time, he didn’t seem genuinely sorry for disturbing her “Thank you, Ms. Lawrence,” he said. Genevieve nodded and took him to her car. She served as his driver that day. Nevertheless, Louis didn’t opt for the back seat. Instead, he took the passenger seat They sat so closely that she could discern the warm and cool fragrance emanating from his body, creating slightly uncomfortable sensation for her. There was a moment of silence. Louis glanced sideways at her, sporting a light smile, projecting a casual demeanor, and radiating goodwill. He said, “Ms. Lawrence, I can’t explain why, but I feel a sense of closeness with you the moment I lay eyes on you Perhaps this minor accident is destined. May I extend an invitation for dinner later?” Genevieve raised her eyebrows slightly and responded with a casual smile, “Mr. Fallon, we are business partners. We have to assist each other. You don’t have to be so polite.” He discerned her refusal through her words and demonstrated the sensibility to refrain from pressing further They then arrived at the hospital. Genevieve helped him to get a doctor. The VIP area was rather quiet. She called Jeffrey outside the ward As soon as she hung up the phone, she could hear high heels approaching her from behind.

Rosalie, be wiser in the future. Perhaps that way, you might live longer,” Genevieve mocked.

Finally recovering from the intense pain, Rosalie collapsed on the ground weakly. She looked at Anthony miserably and complained, “I just wanted to beg Genevieve’s forgiveness. I know it was my fault…” She then sobbed. Anthony’s expression was cold. He was indifferent toward the incident in front of him.
