Chapter 78\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan\u2019s eyes widened. He was so angry that he laughed, releasing Genevieve\u2019s wrist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without saying another word, he turned around and walked into his room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve stood rooted to the spot. She could still feel his lingering warmth on her wrist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she looked at the tightly shut door, she felt irritated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was such a strange man!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sneering, she decided to put this episode behind her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over the next few days, the air in the apartment was thick with tension. Genevieve and Tristan didn\u2019t exchange a single word or communicate at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan left early and returned late, while Genevieve poured all her energy into making perfumes and working on her\u00a0<\/p>\n
painting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They occasionally passed each other in the hallway in the early mornings or late at night. Yet they were like strangers living under the same roof. They didn\u2019t disturb each other at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One day, when Genevieve was working on the final base note for her new perfume for the Rebirth series, Hannah knocked on the door and walked in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGen, Sylvia called again. This is the fifth time this week.\u201d Annoyance was written all over Hannah\u2019s face as she continued, \u201cI hung up immediately, but she didn\u2019t seem like she had any intention of giving up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve didn\u2019t stop working, drawing a drop of ambergris and dropping it into the beaker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t even look up as she asked, \u201cWhat did she say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat else can she say? It\u2019s always the same thing. She said she wanted to meet you and that everything that happened between you and Zachary is a misunderstanding,\u201d Hannah replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pouting, she added, \u201cZachary is behind bars, so Tristan is calling all the shots at Lambert Group now. She must be feeling uneasy about her position as the lady of the Lambert family. She probably wanted to ask you to show them mercy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve sneered and looked at the liquid in the beaker as she swirled it gently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sylvia wanted her to show them mercy? Why hadn\u2019t Zachary ever thought of showing her mercy when he hired a hit on her? Had he shown Heron mercy when he used the Yates family\u2019s secret to threaten him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust block her number,\u201d Genevieve ordered calmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright!\u201d said Hannah.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as she was about to turn around, her phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Glancing at it, she frowned and said, \u201cGen, it\u2019s from the law firm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve felt a sudden stir in her heart before she said, \u201cAnswer it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hannah put the call on speaker, and a man\u2019s voice came through.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAm I speaking to Ms. Genevieve Whitfield? This is Matthew Zarrett from Clearstead Law Firm. On behalf of Ms. Sylvia Jenkins, I would like to inform you of some recent updates on my client, Mr. Zachary Lambert,\u201d said Matthew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve set the beaker down and wiped her hand. She leaned against the side of the laboratory table and gestured for\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hannah to keep quiet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lambert\u2019s mental state has been extremely unstable after he was sent to jail. He has developed severe symptoms of anxiety and depression. He couldn\u2019t get accustomed to the environment in jail. He\u2019s been having trouble eating and sleeping, and he has lost 22 pounds in half a month.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe guards caught him trying to harm himself multiple times. Just the night before last, he sliced his wrist with the sharpened handle of his toothbrush. Fortunately, he was found in time, so there weren\u2019t any fatal consequences,\u201d said\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He paused, seemingly trying to give Genevieve some time to digest all that information.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hannah\u2019s jaw fell as she listened to him, and she instinctively looked at Genevieve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve, however, remained expressionless. There wasn\u2019t even the slightest hint of emotion on her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was just an act. Who was he trying to put on a show for?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Whitfield.\u201d Matthew\u2019s voice sounded again. \u201cMs. Jenkins hopes you can see that Mr. Lambert has already paid a hefty price for his impulsive actions. Days feel like years to him right now, and he\u2019s almost on the verge of a mental breakdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMs. Jenkins sincerely asks whether you would be willing to write a letter of forgiveness. Or perhaps would you consider visiting Mr. Lambert once, just to give him a little hope to continue living?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you done?\u201d Genevieve finally asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Matthew seemed taken aback and paused before he said, \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease pass a message to Sylvia and Zachary then.\u201d Genevieve spoke slowly, enunciating her words. \u201cHe deserves to have his days feel like years. If he\u2019s having a mental breakdown, it\u2019s the consequences of his own actions.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a sneer, she added, \u201cAs for giving him hope to continue living, that\u2019s his own business. What\u2019s it got to do with me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
