Chapter 37
Although Austin passed away, Presley and Samson were also related by blood, so they could do a DNA test.
Anthony nodded coldly.
If the DNA test showed that the child was not Austin’s, then his care for Rosalie would come to an end.
On the way back, Genevieve excitedly looked up the gossip on Rosalie on the internet.
She thought she was still living harmoniously with Anthony abroad, but it turned out that she found several backups.
Jeffrey sent her to the company. As Genevieve got upstairs, Jasper pointed at the reception room and said, “Mr. Fallon has been waiting for you here for a while.”
Genevieve stopped in her tracks. She could not describe her feelings toward this mysterious Louis.
Although she got her revenge in the incident today, the mastermind behind the scenes was Louis.
She got
got more curious about what Louis was up to.
She turned around and walked to the reception room.
Louis looked cold and indifferent. He wore a well–tailored haute couture suit over a pair of straight– cut dark trousers. Hist elegant appearance made people easily drop their guard.
He was holding a magazine in his hand and was browsing it leisurely. He gave off a gentle and noble aura.
When he saw her opening the door, Louis put away the magazine and smiled at her with his gentle gaze.
“Ms. Lawrence, are you happy today?” he asked.
It was as if a thought flashed across Genevieve’s mind; she asked him directly, “Were you the one who issued the statement about Arden Dance Group?”
She merely sent in a copy of the DNA test.
She did not pay much attention to Rosalie’s private life abroad.
But now, it looked like that DNA test was just the beginning for the Hoffman family.
What made Rosalie lose all standing and reputation was the statement made on Arden Dance Group.
Louis blinked and flashed a bright smile, but no one could tell if there was any hidden meaning in his eyes.
“I only asked a friend of the dance troupe to release the statement. It would be truly valuable if it could lend a hand to Ms. Lawrence, he answered.
Genevieve turned her head slightly and said with a smile, “Mr. Fallon, why did you try so hard to help me?” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“It was love at first sight with you, Ms. Lawrence,” he answered.
If he said this to another woman, she might immediately fall for it.
However, Genevieve smiled, raised her eyebrows, and was unfazed.
“Mr. Fallon, businessmen are most concerned about the transactions of profits. You help me, and I help you. It’s a fair trade. If you want to bring in such trivial matters, your effort will all be futile,” she answered.
Genevieve stood up, smiled widely, and turned to go out.
“Ms. Lawrence, ahem…” Louis called out to stop her with a serious tone. He sounded helpless. “Can you help to speak to Mr. Lawrence to ask him to propose two ideas for the collaboration?”
Genevieve could not help laughing, ‘It’s easy when it is about money, she thought.
She turned around and raised her eyebrows. “I’ll try.”
Louis stood up and straightened his suit.
“But I meant what I said just now,” he added.
Genevieve smiled half–heartedly. She was unconvinced.
Louis chuckled, and his well–defined features showed his helplessness.
When he got in front of her, he looked down with eyes glowing with hope.
“Ms. Lawrence, next, Anthony will be pestering you. Will your heart soften for him?” he asked.
Genevieve’s face stiffened, and she raised her piercing eyes.
“No, I won’t,” she answered.
“Wonderful.” Louis smiled and said, “Why don’t you treat me to a meal tomorrow night as a token of appreciation?”
While he was straightforward, he still kept his distance. This made people not feel disgusted toward him.
Genevieve smiled and nodded, “Sure. You can pick the place.”
“After all, he helped me, she thought.
Louis shook the key in his hand and said, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow. See you.”
“See you,” she answered.
Genevieve sent him away and went back to the office.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was an unknown number.
She frowned and answered the phone. Anthony’s deep voice came through,
“Genevieve, shall we talk about it and have dinner together tomorrow night?” Anthony asked.
Genevieve’s tone was cold and decisive. “I’m busy.”
up the p Then, she hung up the phone and blocked the number.
‘Sick!” she thought.
Not long after, Jasper knocked on the door and came in.
“Ms. Lawrence, the business dinner for the Sincapital project is tomorrow. Is that okay with you?” Jasper asked.
Genevieve had many thoughts on her mind at the same time, and it made her frustrated.
‘Why do they all want to have dinner tomorrow?’ she thought.
She had already made a deal with Louis, so she should not change it.
“Reject it. I have a prior engagement tomorrow evening,” she said.
Jasper nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll discuss with them to reschedule.”
Genevieve nodded and called Jeffrey to explain what Louis asked for.
Jeffrey was silent for a few seconds and said calmly, “Okay, I see. Get him to discuss with me.”
He was relieved, but it felt like he was not.
Anyway, she helped to convey the message, so Genevieve smiled and hung up.
Presley was a shrewd man. He waited almost four or five hours in the hospital until the DNA test results came out, so there would not be any errors in verifying blood relations.
When he heard that Austin passed away, he was truly sad for a moment.
However, since they did not have a father–and–son relationship, the sadness he had soonvanished when he got pissed with. the scandal Rosalie stirred up.
The DNA test came out.
He scanned through the document and threw it to Quincey. Then, he left the hospital with a pale face.
Quincey examined the result carefully which said “unrelated.” She breathed a sigh of relief.
The property of the Hoffman family still belonged to them.
“No one should even come and touch it, she thought.
She immediately called Anthony to tell him about this and did not forget to warn her son.
“Forget about how you got close to them behind my back. I tell you, if you are thinking of raising Austin’s son and side with outsiders rather than your own family, I will disown you as my son!” she said.
She breathed deeply and confidently. After being filled with anxiety and fear the whole day, she could finally be relieved.
Then, she also called the housekeeper at home.
“Pack up that kid’s things and throw them away. It’s bad luck to leave them at home,” she ordered.
She saw that the child was still sleeping in the housekeeper’s arms. Her love for him earlier had long been gone. She now could not even stand the sight of him.
“Mrs. Hoffman, what about Samson?” the housekeeper asked.
Quincey sneered disapprovingly. “What about Samson? He’s just a jerk. Go send him to Rosalie where he came from.”
She said as she picked up her bag and left haughtily.
Anthony hung up the phone and rubbed his temples. His face was filled with tiredness.
The result was so shocking.
‘Samson is not Austin’s child! What did I do all this while? Because of Rosalie and her child, I split up with my wife and
child, he thought.
At the thought of Genevieve and the unborn child, he felt an overwhelming sense of remorse and pain in his chest in hindsight.
The throbbing pain slowly spread in his heart. It was like countless hooks stabbed into it and pulled out his flesh and blood. The pain was so intense that he had no way to handle it.
He was surrounded by deceit, profit, coldness, and cruelty.
‘How precious it was when I could see the smiling face of Genevieve when I got home back then, he thought as he realized.
But now, it was all gone.
He truly regretted it.
Daniel knocked on the door and came in. “Mr. Hoffman, Ms. Lawrence’s assistant rejected tomorrow’s business dinner for Sincapital. She already has an appointment,” he said.
“Got it,” Anthony answered.
The man’s voice was heavy.
