Genevieve’s phone started ringing loudly.
She glared at it in annoyance, yet the next moment, her
eyes widened.
Kay: “Impressive, Zero! That idiot, Zachary, transferred 30% of Lambert Group’s shares to you. He only has 5% of the shares now. We have Lambert Group in the bag!”
What?
In that moment, all she could think about was Tristan.
She knew this had to be his doing.
What was he up to now?
She stood up, her chair screeching loudly against the floor.
Hannah jolted in surprise. “Gen, what’s up?”
Genevieve didn’t reply. She simply picked up her phone and car keys before running out.
“Gen! Where are you going?”
Hannah’s shouts went unanswered.

The car screeched to a halt in front of the URI Corporation building.
Genevieve opened the car door and stepped into the lobby in her high heels, radiating a chilly
air.
“I need to talk to Tristan Hale,” she said icily as she reached the front desk.
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.
It was Tristan.
He seemed to have guessed that she would drop by. His expression was perfectly calm.
“Follow me,” he said before turning and walking toward the elevator.
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.

“Tristan Hale, what the hell are you up to?”
Tristan’s gaze was impossibly dark. He said calmly, “It’s exactly what you think. I’m helping you to get back what the Lambert family owes you.”
“I don’t want it!” Genevieve shouted. “I don’t need you to do anything like this. You’re using
How dare he make that decision for her?
If she wanted those shares, she wouldn’t have needed his help!
“Why can’t you just accept my help?” Tristan asked, stepping toward her. His intimidating presence nearly overwhelmed her.
She looked up at him, meeting his gaze stubbornly. “I don’t want to have anything to do with you!”
“Too late for that.”
Tristan’s hands landed on either side of her, caging her between him and the wall.
He lowered his head. His warm breath made her ears grow hot as he said, “We were destined to be involved ever since you threw yourself at me.”
“You’re shameless!” Genevieve hissed, shaking with anger. She lifted a hand, about to slap
Tristan across the face.
However, he managed to grab her by the wrist.
His gaze
darkened even more. “Don’t make me angry, Gen. You’ll understand some things
eventually.”
Suddenly, Genevieve’s phone rang. It was a call from an unsaved number.
Genevieve swatted Tristan’s hand away and picked up.
“Mr. Lambert Senior is… He’s not going to make it. Mrs. Lambert, please come back!”
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.
“What are you doing here?” he hissed. “Are you here to humiliate us?”
Genevieve couldn’t be bothered to answer him and walked past him into the room.

Raymond was lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen mask over his face. He was breathing shallowly.
When he saw Genevieve, he began to struggle, waving a hand at Zachary and the others as he gestured for them to go outside.
“Go… go wait outside. I have… something to tell… Gen in private,” he croaked out.
Zachary was clearly reluctant, but he didn’t dare to go against Raymond. And so, he was forced to leave the room with the rest of the group.
Soon, only Raymond and Genevieve were left in the room.
“Child…” Raymond said as he reached out to hold Genevieve’s wrist with a bony, trembling
hand. “Come here.”

Genevieve walked toward him and sat down beside the bed..
“Yes, Grandpa?”
“Don’t blame Zachary … He didn’t… have any other choice,” Raymond said weakly as he took quick, shallow breaths. “It was no… coincidence that I… saved your mother back then.”
