Seeing her standing there, Lydia pulled her arm. “Ms. Lawrence.”
Genevieve’s lips quivered as she tried to say something.
She watched as the woman turned around to glance behind. When their eyes met, the woman with a mole recognized
Genevieve.
The expression of the woman with a mole changed dramatically. She instantly stood up, kicked down the chairs and table in front of her, and ran toward the opposite dark place.
Genevieve immediately gave chase, her voice laced with uncontainable nervousness as she shouted, “It’s her. She was the
driver!”
Anthony, standing behind Genevieve, heard her shout loud and clear.
His facial expression changed, and he gave chase instantly.
Several people gave chase as well.
Lydia was soon left behind. Taking in the turns of events, she began to call for help.
Jasper followed Genevieve closely, fearing he might lose sight of her.
Anthony quickly caught up with her, looking fierce.
He overtook them very quickly.
The woman with a mole ran into a dark alley without streetlights and disappeared in an instant.
Genevieve and the others were about to run inside when Anthony grabbed her wrist.
He said coldly, “Don’t go in. It’s too dangerous.”
Genevieve broke free, her face pale as if she hadn’t heard him. She merely wore a nervous and solemn expression. “It’s her.
I won’t make a mistake.”
That crazy scene was too profound for her to forget.
Anthony’s eyes darkened, his brows furrowed, and he gave chase at once without uttering another word.
There was no light in the alley. It was so dark that one couldn’t see a thing.
Lydia and Jasper caught up. Feeling ill at ease, Genevieve also ran into the alley.
She didn’t know if there was a dead end in the alley, but she couldn’t let people get away before her eyes.
The cold wind blew on her face, and she could vaguely see two blurred figures in front of her.

Anthony caught up keenly and fiercely. Then, he kicked the woman.
The woman with a mole let out a cry of pain and leaned against the wall as if she had no strength to fight back.
However, the next second, as Anthony approached, she suddenly threw a wooden stick placed next to the wall at him.
Anthony thought, ‘She was faking it!‘
Anthony quickly dodged and took a few steps back. A somber expression spread across his countenance as he sensed the situation turning perilous.
The woman with a mole took the opportunity to run back in Genevieve’s direction.
It was too dark, so Genevieve couldn’t see what the woman with a mole was carrying in the latter’s hand.
However, when she got closer to the woman with a mole in the dark alley, a cold and sharp glint suddenly flashed in front
of her.
Genevieve slammed the woman with a mole to the side, but the great impact also sent her crashing to the ground.
The next second, Genevieve felt a chill in her arm after the collision.
“Genevieve!” Anthony’s face changed dramatically. The look in his eyes darkened as he ran over. Exuding a cold aura, he picked Genevieve up. His breathing hitched as he saw her arm, which was
covered in blood.
However, Genevieve was looking nervously at the up and catch her!”

The woman with a mole was very cunning. Standing in the dark, her facial features couldn’t be distinguished, but she gave off a highly dangerous vibe.
She brandished the knife she had kept hidden on her. The sharp blade was stained with blood.

She didn’t hesitate. As soon as Anthony ran to Genevieve, the woman with a mole endured the pain and got up, quickly

“Anthony grabbed a brick on the ground and threw it at the arm of the woman with a mole.
With a cry of pain, the woman with a mole accidentally released the blood–stained dagger in her hand, and it fell to the floor.

Jasper and the others caught up. The woman with a mole didn’t have time to turn around to pick the dagger up, so she could only run away without looking back!
Anthony glanced in that direction. He clenched his fists until his knuckles were white as he did his best to suppress his churning fury.
Genevieve struggled to get up but was forcefully stopped by Anthony.
“Hold still.” Anthony’s voice was deep, and he held her carefully in his arms as if she were a treasure.
Ashen–faced, Genevieve bit her lower lip. She felt aggrieved. “Go chase her! She’s running away!”
She thought, ‘How can I just stand by and watch the woman with a mole run away before my eyes? We’re so close to catching her!‘
The look in Anthony’s eyes was gloomy as he suppressed his churning emotions. “Don’t worry. She can’t run away. You are injured. I will take you to the hospital first.”
The churning emotions in his chest seemed ready to burst, especially after he had witnessed Genevieve getting injured for
him.
The indescribable emotions tightly wrapped around his heart, tightening inch by inch, resulting in every heartbeat causing him great agony.
Genevieve’s leg was fine, and it was useless for her to struggle. She felt as if Anthony was deliberately opposing her by refusing to let her go.
Lydia, behind them, picked up the knife on the floor with a piece of paper she carried with her before giving chase.
Shortly after, they arrived at the hospital.
Genevieve felt a sensation of pain in her arm.
The wound was deep, but fortunately, it did not hurt her nerves.
Genevieve’s face was pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat from pain as the doctor applied the stitches.
Anthony watched with a gloomy look in his eyes. Looking at her demeanor as she endured the pain, he suddenly grabbed her hand and held it tightly in his palm. “Don’t be afraid. I will make that woman pay the price.”
Anthony thought, ‘She has always been strong and sensible. I’ve never had to worry about her. However, now that she’s inadvertently revealing her fragile side, my heart couldn’t help but ache for her. She said she hated me and wanted to distance herself from me, but she was most desperate to take action when the real danger came. If it weren’t because she deeply loves me, why would she get herself injured because of me?‘
Genevieve took a deep breath. Enduring the pain in her arm, she withdrew her hand from his. Every passing second felt
utterly agonizing.
When she looked at him, the look in her eyes was laced with indifference. “Mr. Hoffman, don’t worry about me. I was injured to pursue the murderer. Grandma Margaret took good care of me. I wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.”
Anthony froze for a moment and then pursed his lips.
He thought, ‘She’s denying getting hurt because of me. Perhaps she still blames me!‘

That was a piece of evidence with the woman with a mole’s fingerprint.
Anthony took an apple and looked at Genevieve gently. “Let me cut some fruits for you?”
As soon as he finished his sentence, a noise interrupted him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Someone knocked on the door.
Lydia went to open the door. She was surprised. “Who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Genevieve.” Rosalie’s voice sounded.
Rosalie was persistent and refused to leave Genevieve alone.
She walked straight in and said, “Ms. Lawrence, I heard about your injury and purposely came to visit you. Anthony, you’re also here? That’s great. Samson has been making a ruckus. He’s been
crying until his voice is hoarse. Do you want to go and take a look at him?”
As she spoke gently, Rosalie’s eyes remained focused on Anthony alone.
Anthony’s face darkened, and his tone was somewhat cold when he spoke. “Who asked you to come here? Get out!”
Rosalie instantly felt aggrieved and at a loss, thinking she hadn’t done anything wrong. “Anthony, Samson has lived with us for such a long time after all. I can’t bear something bad happening to him. He is so young. It seems he senses we don’t love him anymore, so he’s been crying continuously.”
