Chapter 54
Louis only looked a little similar to Anthony, but the latter immediately concluded that Louis had a perfect copy of his look.
Louis turned upset at that.
Anthony snorted arrogantly and did not bother to hide the disdain on his face at all, not even giving a response.
Anthony thought Louis‘ greatest trait was his similar look to him. Otherwise, Genevieve would not give her attention to
Louis.
Genevieve, standing aside, did not feel like saying anything, so she walked past Anthony and left.
However, Anthony grabbed her wrist and said, “Let me drive you home.”
Genevieve replied indifferently, “Let go of me.”
Anthony tightened his slender fingers on Genevieve’s wrist and glanced at Louis, restraining the arrogance in his voice as he said to Genevieve, “The doctor said Grandma is awake. Don’t you want to see her?”
A gleam flashed through Genevieve’s eyes. She pursed her lips and felt hesitant.
Anthony smiled confidently.
He was sure that Genevieve would get hesitant at the mention of Margaret.
Genevieve turned around and looked at Louis.
She said, “I’m gonna visit a patient now. See you later.”
Louis nodded with a smile, not feeling upset at all.
Anthony turned around forcefully while hugging Genevieve’s shoulder and left. Turning back his head, he glanced at Louis
with terrifying iciness.
Genevieve broke away from Anthony’s embrace after a few steps, and Anthony did not dare to hug her again in a forceful
manner.
He then smelled the perfume fragrance of an unfamiliar man on the coat Genevieve was wearing.
He knew immediately that the coat belonged to Louis.
He cursed inwardly, “That despicable scoundrel!”
Anthony opened the car door for Genevieve. When Genevieve got in, the coat slipped on the seat.
Suddenly, Anthony threw the coat that was an eye sore to him on the floor.
Genevieve’s face darkened, and she said in a clear voice, “Pick it up.”
Anthony’s face also darkened. He deliberately pretended to be dumb and said with an angry sneer, “It’s just a piece of ragged clothes. If you want a coat, I’ll buy you a new one!”

Genevieve looked at Anthony indifferently, with both engaging in a staring contest.
Anthony chose not to believe that Genevieve would fight him over some clothes from Louis, whom he assumed was just his substitute
He thought Genevieve just wanted him to coax her
He coughed and was about to speak when Genevieve slammed the car door open, getting out of the vehicle and pushing
him away
Anthony staggered backward in shock.
He stared at Genevieve, who bent down to pick up Louis‘ coat and shook off the dust from it before placing it on her arms.
Genevieve looked at Anthony indifferently and said, “Anthony, your looks are not a big deal, so don’t be too self–righteous.”
She took out her phone and planned to call for a driver.
Anthony clenched his fists in an instant.
His jaw tightened, and his heart was pounding violently.
He said with a hoarse tone with complicated emotions, “It’s just a coat. Why are you getting mad at me? You told me you don’t care about me, but why the sudden anger then?”
He felt really angry and aggrieved while holding back his emotions.
He thought, ‘Fine. I’ll just let her be. If she doesn’t love me deeply, she won’t even throw a tantrum at me, right?‘
After a few seconds of silence, Anthony stepped forward and took away Genevieve’s phone.
He said, “Get in the car.”
He thought, ‘It’s just a piece of ragged clothes. I’m not getting mad at her anymore.
Genevieve looked at Anthony’s changing attitude and could not help rolling her eyes.
Anthony got into the car with Genevieve’s phone. Genevieve did not want to get involved for too long with Anthony, so she could only get back into his car.
She wanted to see Margaret as soon as possible.
The atmosphere in the car was tense.
Both stayed very quiet during the journey.
Looking at Genevieve sitting in the backseat with the coat in her arms and not bothering to mutter any words, Anthony turned even unhappier.
He said, “It looks like your taste in men has turned bad after the divorce. I can’t believe you will be smitten with this kind of
man.”
Genevieve closed her eyes and replied with a sneer, “My taste in men has always been like that. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have
MMM
fallen in love with you back then.”

Anthony’s face darkened. He clenched the steering wheel tightly and said, “Oh, really?”
Genevieve could always easily stir up the anger in Anthony, but the latter calmed himself down with his reason.
Anthony assumed Genevieve was just acting tough, so he chose to forgive her actions.
Anthony did not dare to speak again the whole way.
They remained silent all the way to the hospital.

They went straight to the VIP floor, and the doctor greeted them with joy on his face, “Mr. Hoffman, Mrs. Margaret Hoffman has been awake for a while. But she fell asleep again, and that’s a normal thing to happen. We checked the blood clots in her brain and found that they had already dispersed. You can go see her now. I believe she’ll be fully recovered soon.” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Anthony relaxed the frown on his face and nodded lightly. He thanked the doctor and then walked to the ward.
Genevieve followed closely behind him.
Anthony reached the ward and looked at Margaret. Margaret’s condition had stabilized, and her face looked healthy and calm. Anthony could see that she was making a good recovery.
Standing outside the ward, Genevieve also breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought that if anything happened to Margaret, she would feel depressed for the rest of her life.
The doctor then talked about Frank’s condition, mentioning that the old man was in a more serious situation.
Not long after, Presley and Quincey also arrived.
Quincey pretended to be concerned and sad, standing outside the ward and starting to cry.
If Genevieve had not heard Quincey cursing Margaret on a phone call, she would have believed in Quincey’s acting.
Seeing the couple, Genevieve did not feel like staying any longer.
Hence, she simply turned around and went down the building.
When she left the hospital and made a phone call, Quincey ran after her.
Quincey looked very unfriendly and cast a discerning glance at Genevieve.
Genevieve glanced at her calmly with no emotion in her eyes and said, “Mrs. Hoffman, what can I do for you?”
Quincey flew into a rage when she saw Genevieve looking different, as if the latter had transformed into another person.
The noblewomen around Quincey were all gossiping and feeling confused that Genevieve seemed to have a better life after
her divorce.
Quincey replied with a sharp and mean tone, “I’ve told you many times to stay away from Anthony. Why are you so shameless, looking for excuses to get close to my son? A poor woman like you…”

Before she could finish her words, Quincey paused for a moment and immediately acted elegant and graceful. Looking at the person approaching from behind Genevieve, she changed her expression and said, “Ms. Underwood, what a coincidence to see you here…
Samantha was followed by several staff members. There were no wrinkles on her face, looking particularly young.” Standing side–by–side with Quincey, they looked like they were from different age groups.
Samantha wore a lilac gown, exuding a bright and noble temperament. She was carrying a limited– edition Hermes bag. looking lazy yet elegant. Although she was wearing a pair of sunglasses, people could still recognize her at a glance..
Quincey approached and greeted Samantha warmly with a warm smile on her face.
She said, “Ms. Underwood, I heard your husband is also a businessman. If you have time, we can have a cup of coffee together…”
Quincey deliberately placed her bag before her, showing her status with it.
Yet, Samantha’s bodyguards immediately stopped Quincey from approaching Samantha.
With her expression changed slightly, Quincey replied with a smile, “I’m the madam of Hoffman Group. Anthony Hoffman Is my son.”
She thought Samantha would be more polite to her if she mentioned her identity.
However, Samantha just gave Quincey a glance and then ignored her, looking at Genevieve, who was beside Quincey, instead.
Samantha smiled and gestured at Genevieve, and the latter walked over obediently. Samantha stood still and pulled her daughter’s hand with a smile.
She asked, “Why are you here?”
Genevieve pursed her lips and answered, “I’m here to see a patient.”
Samantha nodded and did not ask further.
Changing the topic, she asked again, “I have some matters to deal with the film crew. How about having dinner together tonight?”
Genevieve nodded with a smile.
Samantha smiled as well and then went to the elevator with the staff members.
She ignored Quincey completely the whole time.
Quincey’s expression changed a few times, especially when she was being ignored by Samantha in front of Genevieve. She felt humiliated and immediately turned angry.
Quincey spat, “What’s there to be arrogant of? She’s just an actress. She didn’t even dare to make her marriage public after marrying a rich man. I bet she used some awful means for the marriage.”
