Chapter 122

Under the skeptical gaze of Anthony, Daniel was at a loss for words. It was an incredibly awkward

moment.

He wouldn’t dare to beat Anthony.

Yet, watching Anthony hobble out of the hospital room, Daniel’s heart suddenly ached at the sight of his solitary figure. He couldn’t bring himself to describe the gut–wrenching scene painted by the doctors.

Rushing to clear the paperwork, Daniel scampered away, avoiding Anthony’s gaze, sharp as needles.

Anthony was outside on the phone with Jacinta, his voice a blend of warmth and cool distance. “Yeah, all’s good now, thanks for your concern, Ms. Sanders. I owe Genevieve big time for getting me to the hospital last night. I was thinking about throwing a dinner to say thanks. Care to join us?”

There was a pause on the other end, and Jacinta finally declined gracefully. “Mr. Hoffman, no need to bother, really. I’m sure Ms. Lawrence isn’t worried about it.”

“Ms. Sanders…” Jacinta cut him off, “Anthony, I know what you’re thinking. But I still have to tell you, don’t push too hard.”

Jacinta’s words were filled with an unspoken depth before she hung up. She had seen last night’s events all too clearly. Genevieve held no more space in her heart for Anthony. How could he not see the reality?

Divorced couples had better keep their distance.

Frowning at his phone, Anthony pondered over Jacinta’s remarks. What exactly was she trying to say?‘ he wondered. ‘Genevieve loves me. I’m just going with the flow.”

Just as the driver arrived, Daniel finished up with the paperwork and jogged over, only to watch in shock as Anthony got into the car without waiting for him. Daniel muttered to himself, ‘Could he be holding a grudge?”

Puzzled, Daniel dialed the driver’s number and asked in a roundabout way. The driver coughed. before answering, “Mr. Simmons, Mr. Hoffman said you should handle the acquisition matters for now. No need to come back to the company just yet.”

Daniel was taken aback. Collaborating with Jacinta on the first step was acquiring the AI company, which was akin to climbing up to the sky.

In the car, Anthony suddenly received a call from Brendan. “Anthony, should I delete the video. from Twitter?”

For the first time since last night, Anthony remembered the video of him and Genevieve dancing. ‘It probably had everyone cheering, right?‘ he thought.

He adjusted his tie with a nonchalant and cavalier flair. ‘Leave it up. Let everyone see what real chemistry looks like!”

Brendan paused and asked, “Are you being ironic?”

“What are you talking about?” Anthony casually flipped through a contract with his slender fingers, his detached demeanor leaving Brendan confused.

Brendan suddenly asked him. “Anthony, you didn’t check Twitter, did you?”

Anthony rarely looked at such things. Unless Brendan made a point to screenshot or share it with him. Anthony couldn’t be bothered to even open it

Anthony didn’t say anything. Brendan coughed, “You should take a look first. If it’s no good, we can get someone to delete the video. It hasn’t gone viral. Just a few friends shared it. It can be
