Chapter 58\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve\u2019s phone started ringing loudly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She glared at it in annoyance, yet the next moment, her\u00a0<\/p>\n
eyes widened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kay: \u201cImpressive, Zero! That idiot, Zachary, transferred 30% of Lambert Group\u2019s shares to you. He only has 5% of the shares now. We have Lambert Group in the bag!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What?\u00a0<\/p>\n
In that moment, all she could think about was Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She knew this had to be his doing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What was he up to now?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stood up, her chair screeching loudly against the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hannah jolted in surprise. \u201cGen, what\u2019s up?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve didn\u2019t reply. She simply picked up her phone and car keys before running out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGen! Where are you going?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hannah\u2019s shouts went unanswered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
The car screeched to a halt in front of the URI Corporation building.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve opened the car door and stepped into the lobby in her high heels, radiating a chilly\u00a0<\/p>\n
air.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI need to talk to Tristan Hale,\u201d she said icily as she reached the front desk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The receptionist at the front desk clearly knew her. She was about to make a call when a tall figure stepped out of a private elevator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He seemed to have guessed that she would drop by. His expression was perfectly calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFollow me,\u201d he said before turning and walking toward the elevator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When they reached his office on the top floor, the door had barely swung shut before Genevieve stopped holding back. She slammed her phone on his desk.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTristan Hale, what the hell are you up to?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan\u2019s gaze was impossibly dark. He said calmly, \u201cIt\u2019s exactly what you think. I\u2019m helping you to get back what the Lambert family owes you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want it!\u201d Genevieve shouted. \u201cI don\u2019t need you to do anything like this. You\u2019re using\u00a0<\/p>\n
How dare he make that decision for her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she wanted those shares, she wouldn\u2019t have needed his help!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy can\u2019t you just accept my help?\u201d Tristan asked, stepping toward her. His intimidating presence nearly overwhelmed her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked up at him, meeting his gaze stubbornly. \u201cI don\u2019t want to have anything to do with you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cToo late for that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan\u2019s hands landed on either side of her, caging her between him and the wall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He lowered his head. His warm breath made her ears grow hot as he said, \u201cWe were destined to be involved ever since you threw yourself at me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re shameless!\u201d Genevieve hissed, shaking with anger. She lifted a hand, about to slap\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan across the face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, he managed to grab her by the wrist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His gaze\u00a0<\/p>\n
darkened even more. \u201cDon\u2019t make me angry, Gen. You\u2019ll understand some things\u00a0<\/p>\n
eventually.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Genevieve\u2019s phone rang. It was a call from an unsaved number.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve swatted Tristan\u2019s hand away and picked up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lambert Senior is\u2026 He\u2019s not going to make it. Mrs. Lambert, please come back!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Genevieve finally reached the VIP ward of City Hospital, Zachary was standing outside the door to the hospital room. His eyes were brimming with hatred as he stared at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d he hissed. \u201cAre you here to humiliate us?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve couldn\u2019t be bothered to answer him and walked past him into the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Raymond was lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen mask over his face. He was breathing shallowly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he saw Genevieve, he began to struggle, waving a hand at Zachary and the others as he gestured for them to go outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo\u2026 go wait outside. I have\u2026 something to tell\u2026 Gen in private,\u201d he croaked out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary was clearly reluctant, but he didn\u2019t dare to go against Raymond. And so, he was forced to leave the room with the rest of the group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Soon, only Raymond and Genevieve were left in the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cChild\u2026\u201d Raymond said as he reached out to hold Genevieve\u2019s wrist with a bony, trembling\u00a0<\/p>\n
hand. \u201cCome here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
www\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve walked toward him and sat down beside the bed..\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Grandpa?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t blame Zachary \u2026 He didn\u2019t\u2026 have any other choice,\u201d Raymond said weakly as he took quick, shallow breaths. \u201cIt was no\u2026 coincidence that I\u2026 saved your mother back then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
