Submitting To My Billionaire Ex-Wife by Allison Mild

Chapter 101 

At that moment, what little guilt Genevieve felt instantly vanished. 

A few seconds later, she remained indifferent, merely glancing at the doctor beside her. “Help him get a brain CT scan to check if there was any trauma to the brain. Maybe that’s the reason he’s finally losing it” 

The doctor was speechless. 

Anthony’s expression darkened. 

The people around him began to treat the wound on his wrist silently while the director of the hospital started arranging a VIP ward upstairs for Anthony to stay in. 

After a while, Genevieve took out a card and handed it to the director. “I was the reason for Mr. Hoffman’s injury. Thus, I should hold responsibility. Any expenses from the hospital can be deducted directly from this card.” 

The director was taken aback and hesitated. Just then, Anthony’s voice sounded, “Take her card. In the future, anything related to my treatment, whether serious or not, shall be referred to Ms. Lawrence. I want her to be responsible through and through!” 

He gave Genevieve a meaningful look as he did mental calculations. 

She ought to understand what I meant by being responsible, right?‘ he thought. 

Initially, Genevieve wanted to simplify matters by handing her card to the director. Yet, after listening to Anthony’s words, she could not help but regret her actions and wanted to take her card. 

However, the director had already swiftly pocketed Genevieve’s card. “Okay, understood. Ms. Lawrence, please come with me to handle the procedures!” 

Genevieve was rendered speechless. 

Naturally, the procedures went much smoother with the director personally guiding her. 

Nonetheless, Genevieve remained speechless. 

She went back with a big bag of medicine. 

In the corridor, she ran into Andrea, who was there to change her wound dressing. 

Andrea stood there weakly, as if a mere breeze could cause her to fall. She seemed to be staring at her. 

Yet, when Andrea met Genevieve’s gaze, her eyes instantly shone with friendliness and kindness. 

Genevieve was slightly taken aback but still nodded politely, maintaining a reserved demeanor. 

Andrea walked toward her and gently gazed at her. 

“Are you feeling unwell, Ms. Lawrence?” she asked. 

Genevieve paused briefly before answering, “I’m collecting medicine for someone else.” 

Andrea smiled. “Could the someone you’re referring to be your boyfriend?” 

Genevieve raised her eyes and looked at Andrea impassively. “Don’t you think you’re crossing the line by asking that, Ms. Thomson?” 

She was straightforward. 

Andrea was different from Lauraine. 

Lauraine’s inappropriate behavior was a result of her being overprotected. 

But it was a whole different case for Andrea. 

Andrea smiled gently and took a step forward. With a soft voice, she said, “I apologize. But since you’re Anthony’s ex–wife, I can’t help but pay more attention to you. I’d feel much more relieved to know you have a boyfriend.” 

Her aura was comparable to that of an unworldly artist, yet her words were capable of sending shivers down others‘ spines. 

Genevieve furrowed her brows slightly as she frowned. “We’ve divorced, so I’m not a threat to you. Even if I am, you shouldn’t come right at me and ask me to make you feel at ease, no?” 

Andrea remained calm. Despite the flash of emotions in her eyes, she was still smiling. “You’re from an ordinary upbringing, Ms. Lawrence. Yet, you were able to become Anthony’s wife. Thus, I dare not lower my guard even if you and Anthony have divorced.” 

“Then you should fight for it, Ms. Thomson. There’s no need to tell me!” Genevieve exclaimed, feeling amused. 

‘Did she pester Anthony? I’d set off firecrackers to celebrate if he were to get married soon!” she scoffed internally. 

Whoever wanted the man who ignored her for three years would be the unlucky one. 

There was a pitiful look on Andrea’s face as she said kindly, “I know many single men who have the same upbringing as you. I could introduce them to you if you want.” 

Genevieve slowly withdrew her emotions. 

As expected, Andrea was not a simple person. She had the ability to curse someone without using ny vulgarity. 

Rejected by her first mate, she was blessed by a second one. But what it he regretted it? 

Andrea’s words were to convey to Genevieve that she only deserved to mingle with people from similar upbringings. 

Genevieve lowered her head and smiled slightly before looking up again, eyes cold. “Ms. Thomson, I’m being polite to you as a courtesy to your father. However, you should at least act more respectable to earn my politeness,” 

Andrea’s expression froze. At that moment, she was unable to squeeze out a smile. “What do you mean, Ms. Lawrence?” 

Genevieve looked down and smiled, looking at her indifferently. “If it wasn’t for the fact that Anthony was divorced and had a scandal, do you think the Hoffman family would suggest a marriage to the Thomson family? You should erase your smug idea of being well–matched in status. Don’t you know what Mrs. Hoffman has done? She’s found more than enough spares who are exactly like you.” 

Despite being plagued by scandals, it was not difficult for Anthony to find someone well–matched in status. 

The Thomson family could not be considered the most influential; they had merely made a small fortune through investments in recent years. 

Quincey only chose Andrea because she had a clean background, which made her easier to control. Thus, she was a slightly better option compared to Rosalie. 

Andrea’s face turned pale as her expression soured. 

“Ms. Thomson, having good manners doesn’t involve ridiculing the backgrounds of those less fortunate than you. After all, plenty of people with higher social standing compared to you, Genevieve said with a chuckle. She directly poked at Andrea’s weakness, not bothering to waste her breath. 

Genevieve could not help but wonder how Andrea was able to disregard her self–esteem just because of a man she liked. 

Genevieve had never bullied others using her family background. It was better to rely on herself than her parents! 

With that, she left instantly. “That jerk Anthony is still waiting for me, she cursed internally. 

Andrea’s cold gaze lingered on Genevieve’s silhouette, and she could not help but follow her. 

‘She’s trying to teach me a lesson? Isn’t Genevieve being ridiculous?‘ Andrea spat internally. 

However, just before Genevieve reached the door, someone came out from the VIP ward 

It was Anthony, brows furrowed, looking slightly annoyed. Yet, he calmed down the moment he saw her. 

“What took you so long?” he asked. 

Genevieve was already in a bad mood because of Andrea, and poor Anthony was unlucky enough to rouse her at that moment. 

“What? In a hurry to die?” she asked. 

Anthony’s expression darkened. Nonetheless, he reached out his uninjured hand and took the medicine from her. “I just asked you to run an errand for me. Why the anger?” 

He could not help but feel slightly depressed. ‘Aren’t I the one who got hurt?‘ he thought. 

He went ahead and opened the door for her. Genevieve, not paying attention to any of the details, entered the ward without a second thought. 

Meanwhile, Andrea’s face turned pale. 

Her pretty nails gripped the wall so hard that they broke in an instant. 

She could not help but wonder, “Was this the Anthony I knew? I’ve never seen such a gentle side of him: 

A few days ago, she was beaten up by Rosalie and had wounds all over her body. 

Anthony carried her and brought her to the car. Those few minutes were the most surreal yet warm moments of the journey for her. 

Those few minutes were also part of the reasons which made her more determined to marry him. 

There was this one question inside her head, ‘Why did I have to muster a plan in order to get my few minutes of warmth and care from him? Yet, others could easily obtain it. 

The security guard saw Andrea and immediately stepped forward. “Sorry, outsiders are not allowed to enter this floor. Please leave now.” 

Andrea paused before nodding with a pale smile. “Sorry, I took the wrg turn. I’m leaving now.” 

She was polite and good–natured. Thus, she never drew unwanted attention or caused displeasure. 

However, as soon as she got into the elevator, her smile disappeared. Her reflection in the mirror slowly became cold. 

She took out her phone and dialed the number. 

As soon as the line was connected, her gentle voice sounded, “Mrs. Hoffman, is Anthony injured? I saw him in the hospital…”
