Chapter 45

The next moment, feeling a strange warmth, Genevieve sat up straight and wiped away her tears, dodging that large hand.

A sense of distance and estrangement materialized between them.

Anthony’s face fell.

The doctor pushed the patient into the ICU. Frank’s surgery was not over yet.

However, according to the doctor, the surgery was very successful, and now they just needed to monitor their condition

post–surgery.

Genevieve breathed a small sigh of relief.

She finally relaxed for a bit.

If something really happened to Margaret and Frank, she would not forgive herself.

Before leaving, she made a trip to the bathroom.

She overheard Quincey talking on the phone, complaining disdainfully in a low whisper. “That old hag is finally on the brink of death. She’s still in the ICU. I hope she won’t make it to tomorrow. I haven’t forgotten how she despised me when I first joined the family. Even now, she keeps saying I’m not as good as Linda in any way why didn’t the car accident kill her? I might as well unplug her life support.”

Genevieve’s gaze darkened, and she felt a chill in her heart.

She had witnessed how malicious Quincey could be, but the latter had hidden it so well that Genevieve had never realized she harbored such deep hatred for Margaret.

Genevieve stood outside, and the person inside came out immediately after finishing the call.

The moment Quincey saw Genevieve, her expression instantly turned cold, and she stared at her warily. “What did you overhear?” she asked.

Genevieve stared at her for a few seconds and smiled calmly. “I wasn’t eavesdropping, but I heard everything I needed to,”

she said.

She waved her phone in front of her, revealing that she was recording everything.

Quincey’s expression changed abruptly.

Genevieve shrugged, flashing her a cold smile.

“Mrs. Hoffman, let me warn you only once. No matter how much you hate Grandma Margaret, if you dare to pull any tricks I’ll make sure the whole world knows how malicious you are!” she warned.

She deliberately lingered instead of leaving just to make Quincey afraid.
