Submitting To My Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 239

Selene was speechless. Her eyes rolled at Aiden’s words. “His mother was condemning me just minutes ago. I’m not spending the money on his card. This is all just for show.”

She didn’t care.

She had expected nothing from their marriage.

All that mattered then was Lorelai surviving after the attack.

Genevieve patted Selene’s shoulder. She had waited with Selene for half an hour until the doctor appeared from the emergency room.

“We’ve managed to save her, but there’s severe damage to her cranial nerves. It’s unlikely she’ll wake up again. Be prepared for the worst,” the doctor said.

Selene’s face turned pale at the devastating news.

Genevieve asked for more details about Lorelai’s condition and told Jasper to take care of the medical fee.

Before leaving, Genevieve gave Selene her credit card. “Thought I’d send you the money, but with the situation surrounding Quinn Group, your cards might’ve been frozen. Take this for now and sort the company out first. If you need more help, let me know.”

Selene didn’t refuse Genevieve’s help. She nodded, her eyes reddening.

Genevieve arranged for a caregiver to assist Selene. She had been busy with work until midnight, so Selene told her to go home and rest.

Smiling helplessly, Selene said, “Don’t worry about me. I’m not breaking down in times like this.”

Genevieve nodded and only left with Jasper after feeling reassured to see Selene remaining strong.

Outside, the police were still on the hunt for the fugitives. Over ten of them were arrested, while the rest remained at large.

Nevertheless, they were just rabbles and were no match for the police force.

Genevieve and Jasper left through the backdoor.

Jasper couldn’t keep the information he had found to himself any longer. “Ms. Lawrence, Quinn Group has been deliberately targeted.”

“What do you mean?” Genevieve asked.

“Wildefield Street manipulated Quinn Group into losing their project. They wanted to take over the company.” Jasper responded. “I asked around and found that the medical research and development team of Quinn Group has developed a drug that could control memory. When Quinn Group goes under, the research would stop. Could someone be worried about the drug hitting the market, Ms. Lawrence?”

Genevieve’s expression subtly shifted.

Pharmaceutical research and development were only a small part of Quinn Group’s operations that didn’t generate much profit and thus received little attention.

But Lorelai had always kept it running in honor of her late husband, Joel, who had died from a rare and undetectable disease.

Something didn’t feel quite right to her. “Who could be worried about the release of this drug?‘ she wondered.

The web of power players on Wildefield Street was too complicated. There were too many hidden hands pulling strings behind each move, and it was impossible to trace the people behind.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious downtown condominium, Stella waited for Calvin to pick her up. Anthony finally arrived after five minutes.

Stella tensed, her eyes looking at him nervously. “Mr. Hoffman,” she greeted him.

Anthony looked stoically expressionless. “Get ready to play your part,” he said without looking at her. “You know how to report to Louis, right?”

Stella nodded stiffly.

They walked in, one after the other, and when they arrived at the door, Stella put on a smile and linked arms with Anthony.

The door opened, and there was a woman in her early thirties who was dressed sophisticatedly. She wore an

emerald necklace and bracelet and radiated grace and gentleness.

“You must be Mr. Hoffman, Please come in. Your father’s been waiting for you,” the woman said.

Anthony nodded slightly and stepped inside.

He recognized the woman immediately, and she was Paige Qualls.

Her affair with Presley had caused quite a scandal, which tainted the reputation of Hoffman Group.

Even so, Presley was still seeing Paige, which meant she had used her tactics on him.

Stella smiled from behind. “Thank you,” she said.
