Chapter 27\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary stared at Genevieve, momentarily stunned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His expression shifted from pale to furious. He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles blanched. In the end, he couldn\u2019t hold back anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He ground out through his teeth, \u201cStop acting arrogant, Genevieve. After everything you\u2019ve done, you\u2019re afraid people might talk? Who knows how many men you\u2019ve been with? And now, you\u2019re turning it back on me? In the end, you\u2019re no better than anyone else!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment the words left his mouth, the air seemed to freeze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hannah\u2019s eyes widened, her body tensing as if she were about to lunge at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A few younger employees in the studio muttered angrily under their breath. Someone had already quietly pulled out a phone to record the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve only let out a cold laugh. She didn\u2019t look rattled for even a single second.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She walked over at an unhurried pace and stopped in front of Zachary. Looking down at him, she lifted her slender hand and slapped him hard across the face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The entire studio went so quiet that it felt like a pin could hit the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUse your brain before you speak,\u201d Genevieve said flatly. \u201cWhen your mind is dirty, everything you look at turns dirty.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary\u2019s mind went blank from the hit. Instinctively, he reached for her. \u201cYou hit me? Genevieve, don\u2019t push it-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before he could finish speaking, Hannah and two burly men stepped in to block him. One man clamped a hand on his shoulder while the other seized his arm, and together they dragged him toward the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey! Let go of me! I\u2019m here to discuss a partnership!\u201d Zachary yelled as he struggled. However, no one paid him any\u00a0<\/p>\n
attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hannah said coldly, \u201cOur boss doesn\u2019t work with trash, and we don\u2019t welcome anyone who storms in throwing a fit. Mind your behavior.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They hauled him all the way out and shoved him through the doorway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the glass door clicked shut, Zachary was still pounding on it in rage, but no one inside spared him a single glance. Inside, only hushed whispers and looks of contempt filled the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, an employee hurried in and handed Genevieve an anonymous packet. \u201cMs. Whitfield, this delivery just arrived. They said it\u2019s important and that you should open it yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve took the envelope and opened it. Inside was a stack of detailed documents and several photographs, clearly laying out evidence of Lambert Group\u2019s covert violations over the past few years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the end of it, only two sentences were written. It read, \u201cA gift for you. I hope you like it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve\u2019s gaze darkened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, this was what Zachary had been doing since taking over Lambert Group. If Raymond found out about it, Zachary wouldn\u2019t have enough lives to pay for it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That only made Genevieve more curious about who had sent such a \u201cgift\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She gathered herself quickly, handed the packet to Hannah for safekeeping, and said, \u201cStore it securely. We may need it later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hannah nodded. \u201cUnderstood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve was about to continue assigning work when her gaze flicked to the window and landed on a car parked below.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She saw Tristan leaning against the car in a sharply tailored suit. His tall, composed figure stood out in the afternoon sunlight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked up through the glass window and met Genevieve\u2019s eyes. A subtle, knowing smile played at the corners of his lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve\u2019s brows drew together, thinking that it was bad luck.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why was Tristan here?\u00a0<\/p>\n
