Chapter 3

After a pause, Selene responded, “That’s more like it! I would have looked down on you if you chose to put up with it.”

While talking, she went over to Genevieve’s side to help the latter unpack, her movements. swift and decisive.

There was a moment of silence before Selene turned around and wrapped her arms

around Genevieve in consolation. “I’m glad you’re here. I strictly forbid you from loving that scoundrel ever again.”

Genevieve grew tearful at her friend’s words of comfort.

She had been blinded by love and wasted so much time and energy on Anthony.

Taking a deep breath, she swallowed the rest of her emotions and said solemnly, making a promise to Selene and herself, “I won’t.”

Selene pondered for a moment, then answered with a grin, “Last month, Lawrence Group launched groundbreaking bionic technology that has pretty much conquered the world market. Everyone’s saying that your family is extremely wealthy despite being so low- profile.”

Selene had only just finished speaking when Anthony’s call came in.

Genevieve chuckled, thinking, ‘As expected, only such a method works on him.’”

Th

She picked up the phone unhurriedly and was immediately greeted by Anthony’s frigid, furious voice. “Don’t think too highly of yourself, Genevieve. Even if you do have photos of me, do you seriously think any media would dare circulate them?” he warned.

Given how powerful Hoffman Group was, Genevieve was aware the media would hesitate to get on their bad side.

Nonetheless, she saw no way to get out of this marriage other than through petty blackmail.
