Chapter 272 After Genevieve finished speaking, she thought of Lucas‘ injured foot and stopped smiling. After taking the heavy AK–47 handed over by Irven, Genevieve fell silent. Was he giving her a challenging task from the very beginning? Robbin next to her couldn’t help but sneer. Genevieve took it over and weighed it. The real bullets were different from the fake ones! She aimed at the moving target not far away and pulled the trigger. She decided to shoot first, not caring hitting the target or not. Irven and Robbin next to her were a little stunned. After emptying the bullets, Genevieve returned the rifle to Irven and clapped her hands. “I’m a little rusty, but the rifle is amazing! Irven looked at her with shock and admiration and took it over with both hands. Genevieve turned around and walked out. Her fingers were still numb from shooting! After Genevieve left, Irven clinked his tongue and gave her a thumbs up. “Mr. Simpson has a good taste in women,” he exclaimed. Robbin looked at the target and sneered, “She missed all the targets. She was just putting on airs!” “Anyway, she was imposing!” Irven retorted. Genevieve returned to Lucas‘ office. –/6 D51% – 09:20 Emergency calls only 0… Chapter 272 “There’s a dinner party tonight. Come with me,” Lucas said, looking up at her. Genevieve immediately became alert. “Do I need to prepare anything?” she asked. 051% 09:20 “No need. The chairman of the Chamber of Commerce is celebrating his birthday today. We’ll leave after presenting him with a gift.” Genevieve nodded. She didn’t need to prepare anything extra. At dusk, Lucas‘ foot was not fully recovered, and he walked with a limp. Genevieve stood aside. She wanted to laugh but dared not. Lucas glanced at her and looked away speechlessly. There were some differences between foreign and domestic business gatherings. Antiques were displayed on the shelves by the door, creating a spectacular scene. Lucas changed into a black suit and looked indifferent and aloof. Genevieve went in while taking his arm. Someone at the front desk was registering the gift list. Lucas walked over and handed over the man the contract. +5 The man took it respectfully and said, “Mr. Simpson, this way, please.” Lucas nodded slightly. The guests came from all over the world. Genevieve glanced at them and found that they were no ordinary people. She quietly approached Lucas and asked, “What does the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce do for a living? Why do the guests not look like decent people?” 2/6 Emergency calls only…. Chapter 272 051% 09:20 Lucas glanced at her and lowered his voice. “He owns an underground casino for laundering money.” “Oh, I see.” Genevieve understood instantly and stopped asking. In the distance, an old man in a red gown, being around a large group of people, walked over. He looked spirited. Lucas nodded humbly at him. “Mr. Stewart, I wish you happiness and longevity!” Gerald smiled and patted Lucas on the shoulder. “Lucas, like father, like son, but you are more generous than your father. He won’t give me a big share of profits!” Lucas smiled faintly. “You deserve it. This is the filial piety I showed to you.” The scene was very harmonious. But the next second, they heard the sound of the blast, followed by screams. “Help!” The window was blown open and the glass shattered into pieces. The bodyguards next to Gerald immediately surrounded him in the middle. Genevieve subconsciously squatted with her hands over her head, trying to find shelter. Before she could react, a strong man dragged her to run outside by pulling her arm. He ran with a limp. Screams and gunfire rang in Genevieve’s ears. She couldn’t help but tremble with fear. She couldn’t understand the living environment abroad. Lucas almost held her in his arms and dragged her outside. Her head was buried against his chest. 3/6 Emergency calls only Chapter 272 “Get in the car,” he said anxiously. Genevieve quickly got into Lincoln without the least hesitation. After Lucas got in the car and closed the door, the car drove off immediately. The stray bullet struck the car’s body, but Genevieve still felt secure inside. W51% It was like sleeping on a soft queen–size bed on a rainy night, bringing a certain sense of contrast. It was so fascinating. She took a deep breath and suddenly thought of something. She immediately grabbed Lucas‘ arm and screamed, “Get down quickly. Watch out!” “This car is bulletproof,” Lucas replied, looking at her meaningfully. Genevieve slowly breathed a sigh of relief. It sounded like the car had been shot several times, but the glass did not shatter, and the driver was not scared. She was the only one who panicked! She twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment. Thinking of how she behaved just now, she thought she was so lame! When she was hesitating about how to defend herself, she heard Lucas complain, “Ms. Lawrence, you dodged the bullet quickly just now. Why didn’t you think to protect me?” Genevieve’s scalp tingled. Her face was burning with shame. She pursed her lips and said hesitantly, “Sorry, I’m inexperienced. It was a subconscious reaction. I won’t do it. again next time!” It was ridiculous that she relied on Lucas, who had injured his foot, to save her just now! Before Lucas could finish his sentence, his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the number and picked it up. 4/6 Emergency calls only Chapter 272 “Mr. Stewart, are you okay?” 3 Gerald’s loud and energetic voice came from the other end of the line. “I’m fine. I can live another fifty years. Lucas, those bastards ran away. Don’t blame me for putting you in danger. They came after you. Have you messed with someone recently?” Lucas’s eyes flashed with coldness, but his voice was still gentle. “I’m glad you are fine. I will investigate it.” “I nearly got killed. You must find out who was behind it. Damn it, this is my fiftieth birthday. I will skin whoever was responsible for it!” Gerald hung up the phone. Lucas remained silent. His profile was sharply contoured. In the dim light, he looked kind of indifferent. Genevieve overheard their conversation and frowned. “Why did they want to kill you?” Lucas glanced at her and turned the phone in his hand. “They were probably not targeted at me. It’s better to kill my father than me!” he chuckled. Genevieve was stunned. It didn’t sound right, but it made sense! Lucas knocked on the partition window and ordered, “Send me back first.” They planned to go back to the hotel where Genevieve was staying. Genevieve thought, “Lucas must have a reason to make such an arrangement.‘ She sighed and broke the silence in the car. 5/6 Emergency calls only Chapter 272 “Don’t be afraid. Perhaps Gerald wanted to shift the blame on you! Why didn’t they kill you in broad daylight? They have many chances to kill you on the campus. Why did they try to kill you with so many bodyguards around? Are they idiots?” Lucas took out a carton of unopened milk and handed it over to Genevieve. Genevieve paused.. “Drink some milk to calm your nerves!” Lucas said. He could tell that she was nervous! 色
