Louis‘ words cut Yvette’s heart like a knife.

It felt as if a long–hidden secret had been exposed.

The pain he suffered was no less than anyone else’s.

But the betrayal and hurt he suffered were so immense he almost let out all his bottled–up emotions.

Wette’s eyes were scarlet and full of tears.

She was full of expectation, yet all that was left was disappointment.

Her obsession was destroyed in an instant, leaving her in utter despair.

She held her head with both hands, and the blue veins on her fingers bulged as she burst into tears.

Louis looked up, restraining his ruthless expression. He turned and dragged Genevieve out of the lounge to his

office.

He tried his best to suppress the bitterness in his heart as he looked at her. “You’ve secretly been in contact with

them, intending to set me up and leave me, right?”

He already knew the answer.

What he wanted was to hear her say it in person.

“Was everything a facade these few days? Was it not enough that I showered her with gentleness, indulgence, and adoration?‘ Louis contemplated.

The nervousness Genevieve was feeling gradually faded away at this point.

She pursed her lips. ‘It’d be good if we could end things here,‘ she thought.

“Yes,” she admitted.

Louis swallowed hard. Anger filled his gaze, and his body tensed.

He had imagined himself besieged on all sides.

Yet, it was beyond his imagination that Genevieve would be the cause.

“Why? Have I not been good enough to you? Was risking my life for you not good enough?” Louis’s eyes were bloodshot, and as if he was drunk, rage was brimming from his gaze as he suppressed his trembling breaths. His voice was coarse and displeased.

Genevieve gritted her teeth, and her eyes also reddened.

It wasn’t until this moment that she couldn’t bother to pretend anymore.

She pushed away his hand that was on her shoulder with a heavy heart.

Her eyes were cold and distant, and her voice was helpless and full of pain.

“You think that’s being good to me? By locking me up and not letting me contact my family or return home? By threatening me with my family? By treating me like a fool? I’m grateful you saved me, Louis, but I won’t change myself to meet your preferences and become your private property just because you saved me. There’s no point in life if I do that,” Genevieve uttered as she poured her heart out at once..

She had done her best at trying to learn to accept a new relationship.

Unfortunately, the relationship was ruthlessly nipped in the bud.

She couldn’t go on.

‘A relationship mixed with impurities will never be pure anymore,‘ she thought.

“Is it wrong to keep you by my side? Is it my fault that I love you?” Louis‘ voice was ry and hoarse yet strong

with emotions.

Genevieve lowered her head and scoffed. Then, biting her lower lip, she looked up at him. “Louis, do you love me, or do you hate Anthony? Wasn’t dealing with Anthony your motive for approaching me from the beginning? You hate him, don’t you, Austin Hoffman?”

Seeing Louis‘ face stiffen and darken as she spoke, she clenched her fists tight.

At first, Jeffrey found out about Louis‘ relationship with Anthony.

However, she didn’t take it to heart.

When she saw Samson and Malcolm here, she resorted to the timeline of when they knew each other.

‘If Louis is Austin, his relationship with Anthony surely isn’t as good as Anthony thought. Although Louis didn’t

compete with Hoffman Group overtly, he must ve secrecy av

trend. There’s no way he’s in the country for me,’ she thought.

Genevieve wasn’t that naive.

She knew Louis had a scheme planned, but she didn’t want to expose him yet.

All she wanted was to get herself out of it.

Gazing at him with tears, she said gloomily, “Besides, I gave you a chance to tell me everything. But what did you

do? You played me like a fiddle. Louis, we don’t trust each other at all. What future is there for us?”

The chaos in Louis‘ eyes faded, and his gloomy face slowly calmed down, too.

He pressed his pale lips together, and his throat tightened.

He wanted to explain, yet he didn’t know where to start.

What she said was the truth.

It was indeed so initially.

But gradually, he became sincere.

It wasn’t his intention to lie and deceive her, yet, those were a done deal.

Genevieve wasn’t a woman who knew nothing.

w

She was smart, alert, and independent. Before she fully trusted someone, she had to see their sincerity first.

Staring at her aloof yet delicate features, Louis felt a sharp sting in his heart, so painful it almost engulfed him.

Seeing Louis stay silent, Genevieve took a deep breath and calmed down. “That’s it. I’ll repay you in other ways for saving my life. We’re not meant to be.”

At this point, she could no longer deceive herself or continue acting submissive.

Genevieve lifted her foot and was about to leave.

“I should’ve regained my freedom long ago,‘ she mused.

Louis‘ eyes darkened, and with a cold expression, he chuckled and said icily, “It’s not your call.”

He stared at her. “Since we’ve started, we have to stick to it till the end, even if we have to put on an act.”

‘How can I let her leave when I’ve worked so hard to get her?‘ he thought.

Genevieve glanced at him, shocked.

Louis pulled out his phone and called the driver, his voice chilly. “Take Mrs. Fallon back. Don’t let her leave the house without my order next time!”

Genevieve widened her eyes at Louis. “What’s the point in doing this?”

“At least you won’t leave me,” he responded.

‘Even if that meant resorting to despicable methods, I won’t probe or compromise anymore. Since she refused, she shall stay till she changes her mind,‘ Louis decided in his mind.

Soon, someone came up. “Mrs. Fallon…”

Genevieve bit her lower lip, pushed the driver away, and ran out.

Stunned, the driver looked at Louis.

Louis slightly raised his chin and coldly spat, “Go after her and take her back.

“Understood,” the driver answered promptly.

Even if he couldn’t catch up, there were still others.

Someone had told Genevieve that many bodyguards were placed around her.

It was more than she could imagine.

Just as she ran out of the Fallon Group building, two men in black stood before her, looking imposing yet still respectful. “Please get in the car, Mrs. Fallon.”

When Genevieve saw a black Bentley drive up to her, a pang of coldness settled in her heart.

With how they had fallen out, there was no need to remain courteous anymore.

Louis‘ love was so overbearing to the point it felt terrifying.

Genevieve glanced around and found no one looking.

She bent over and got into the car.

Her fists were clenched tightly, and she was trembling all over.

There were twice as many people in the manor, and there was simply no way she could get out.

Even until late at night, Louis didn’t return…
