Chapter 78
Genevieve really didn’t want to explain herself, so she hurriedly went to change her clothes.
When she came out, Anthony was all set. He stood there, he wore a slightly cold expression. However, with a soft, soothing voice, he said, “Come on, I’ll take you to watch a good show!” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Genevieve asked, “What is it?”
Anthony smiled without explaining, but there was a hint of something wicked in his smile.
Anthony took her to the revolving platform on the third floor, where one could see the door of the private room opposite last night.
At this time, a crowd of people were standing at the door, holding all kinds of shooting equipment in their hands and trying to squeeze into the room.
Suddenly there was a familiar shriek of a woman coming from the room.
It was ‘Morgan!
Genevieve frowned, and her face turned cold.
Soon, Morgan hurried out of the room with an ugly expression, looking disheveled and messy. Her body showed signs of being pinched by a man, which sparked the fantasy.
Lights from the reporters‘ cameras kept flashing.
Then Finnley rushed out of the room, with his wig gone and dried blood on his forehead. His face was flushed as he panted heavily.
Finnley’s face twisted with panic as he shoved aside the reporters‘ cameras in front of him, his expression contorted with anger.
“Which media are you from? Do you know who I am?” Finnley roared.
“Mr. Zink, does the company know about your improper relationship with its employee?” a reporter asked.
“Mr. Zink, as a senior executive of the company, you cheated with a female employee. Did she take the initiative to seduce you or did you coerce her?” another reported chimed in.
“Mr. Zink, do you have anything to say?” Yet another question was shot at Finnley..
Finnley was furious by the reporters‘ incessant questions. “She did it of her own free will. There was no coercion. There is nothing between us!” he hissed, his words jumbled up incoherently.
Finnley pushed his way through the crowd. His shirt was torn, revealing his back marked with scratches from the woman’s sharp fingernails.
Everyone seized the opportunity and clicked their cameras, not letting go of the stout figure who was hurrying away.
Later, this photo of Finnley’s back as he hurried away became one of the trending pictures on the
Internet.
The netizens‘ comments were full of ridicule.
[Hahaha, nothing happened. We really believe it!] one netizen commented.
[This woman is not simple. She became the leader of the project team right after graduation. I believe she hooked up with Finnley on her free will,] another netizen remarked.
[Normal people’s first reaction is to call the police. Why did she run away?] another netizen asked. [It must have been a long time since these reporters did such exciting work!] another netizen added.
Genevieve looked down calmly at the ruckus, her knuckles turning pale.
She closed her eyes as the sight stirred her emotions.
If it weren’t for Anthony, Genevieve would have been set up by now.
She would have been the one who got discredited and threatened, like the woman just now.
‘Finnley and Morgan, they are really ruthless!
‘I was being careless,‘ Genevieve commented inwardly.
She was filled with glee at the sight.
“What comes around goes around! They deserve it!‘ Genevieve thought.
Genevieve thought the ruckus was over.
However, the police soon arrived and went into the room to search around.
On the way out, Genevieve heard the person in charge of the clubhouse speak. “We suspected that someone had tampered with the essential oil, so we called the police. As the person in charge, we will not tolerate this kind of behavior. We will cooperate with all police investigations.”
Looking at all this, Genevieve’s eyes flickered slightly. She looked sideways at Anthony beside her and said slowly, “Thank you.“/

Genevieve had to admit that Anthony was a big help.
Anthony’s eyes curled into a meaningful smile. “How do you want to thank me?”
Genevieve knew Anthony wasn’t going to drop the matter easily, so she hesitated for a second and looked at him seriously.
“Name your price,” Genevieve said. IMMER
Anthony was stunned. “What?”
‘Name a price? Is she planning to pay off a CEO who doesn’t need money?” Anthony pursed his thin lips as he thought.
Genevieve said nonchalantly, “Besides this, I can’t think of a better way to express my sincere gratitude.
“20 million dollars.” Anthony was probably annoyed by Genevieve’s words. His eyes darkened as he blurted out those words, trying to make things difficult for her.
‘She should have expended the 20 million dollars I gave her last time, right?
‘Even if she didn’t spend much of it, she would have been reluctant to take it all out at once!
‘All she has to do is give in and come up with an excuse, then I will give her a
a way out.
I won’t ask for the money from her, in turn, I’m willing to give her another 20 million dollars,’ Anthony remarked silently.
However, Genevieve looked at him with some relief, then took out her phone and transferred the 20 million dollars to him directly.
“That’s great, that makes us even!‘ Genevieve thought.
Anthony’s face darkened when he saw the message.
Anthony tightened his grip on the phone and lowered his voice. “Did you really have to do this? Do we have to make things so clear? Don’t you understand what’s on my mind?”
Genevieve froze for a second, wondering why Anthony was unhappy again.
But Genevieve was happy that she had transferred the money to him..
“I do understand. Didn’t I do what you asked? I didn’t even negotiate!” Genevieve refuted.
Anyway, Genevieve felt less burdened when she had paid off a debt of gratitude.
She looked at the endless stream of messages on her phone. They were coming from Sullivan and Jeffrey.
She had almost forgotten to tell them she was safe.
Frowning slightly, Genevieve smiled politely at Anthony. “Goodbye.”
With that, she turned and went downstairs.
Genevieve called Sullivan while walking. “Uncle Sullivan, I’m fine. Of course, it wasn’t me. We were all being fooled yesterday!”
Sullivan gnashed his teeth in anger. “I stayed up all night. No one answered the phone. I went there later, and they said that there was no appointment at all. Only then did I know that we had been fooled. How dare this son of a bitch set you up? I won’t spare them!”
Genevieve smiled and lowered her eyes. A faint shadow cast on her smooth skin. She felt relieved for closely avoiding a dire predicament.
“Well, I won’t spare them either. These kinds of people are rotten apples in the company. We can’t keep them anymore. I hope you didn’t tell my parents to worry them, did you?” Genevieve said.
“No, I only told your brother. He found the person in charge of the clubhouse overnight and felt at ease when he heard that you were rescued. But he didn’t tell me who saved you. Why don’t we take some gifts to thank your savior?” Sullivan sighed. He hadn’t slept all night..
Although Jeffrey told him that Genevieve was fine, Sullivan couldn’t afford to treat the matter lightly.
The Lawrence family treasured their little princess.
If something happened to Genevieve on his territory, he would have a hard time in his old age.
Genevieve felt the corners of her mouth corners twitching. She said casually, “No need. I have already thanked the person.”
“Well, call Jeffrey. He’s been up all night too!” Sullivan said.
After hanging up, Genevieve called Jeffrey.
“Did Anthony do anything to you?” Jeffrey asked.
Jeffrey knew it was Anthony who took Genevieve.
It was just that Jeffrey couldn’t blatantly take Genevieve away from Anthony. Otherwise, everyone would know that Cenevieve had been set up, and it was not good for her reputation if the news spread.
Hence, Jeffrey just sent his men to keep an eye on Anthony.
Genevieve smiled and told him the details of the incident.
“Anthony asked for 20 million dollars, so I gave it to him,” Genevieve said.

Jeffrey was relieved when he heard that. “Well, he didn’t ask for an exorbitant price. Are you still there? I’m nearby. How about I go and pick you up?”
