Genevieve was choked with anger. She gritted her teeth. "Fine. But the moment you find a place, you move out immediately. Elias Shawn can't find out you're here with me."
Henry raised an eyebrow, a slight smile on his face. "Genevieve, after all the times we've slept together, don't you think it's a little late to be worried about Elias finding out about us?"
"If you don't agree, you can leave right now!" Genevieve snapped, her expression sour.
Henry held up his hands in surrender. "Alright, alright."
***
That night, Genevieve received a surveillance video from Henry. It was from the building where Victoria rented her apartment.
As Genevieve watched the familiar Maybach in the video and the silhouette of the man walking into the elevator, her grip on her phone tightened until her knuckles turned white.
Elias really was at Victoria's last night.
They spent the night together!
"VICTORIA SANGER!" Genevieve’s breath came in ragged gasps, her eyes smoldering with a lethal, unchecked venom. She wanted to chew the name up and swallow it whole.
She closed the video and opened her contacts, intending to call Elias.
But when she found his number, she froze.
She couldn't make that call.
She couldn't let Elias know she had people investigating him and Victoria.
Genevieve felt herself being devoured by a growing, unchecked jealousy. She was so pent-up she was on the verge of frenzy. If she could, she would have killed Victoria just to vent her rage.
Just then, her phone screen lit up with an unfamiliar number.
Genevieve frowned slightly, hesitating for a few seconds before answering. She hadn't even said a word when she heard a voice, altered by a changer, ask stiffly, "Is this Genevieve?"
Genevieve's expression shifted. She double-checked the number. "Who is this?"
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that you listen carefully to what I'm about to say," the person said. "I know what you did at The Sanger Group two years ago."
A strange sense of unease crept into Genevieve's heart, and her voice became tense. "The Sanger Group? I don't know what you're talking about. I... you have the wrong number!"
With that, she fumbled to hang up the call.
But in the next second, the voice came through the phone again. "Genevieve, Grady Sanger is investigating the incident at The Sanger Group from two years ago. He's already found out that you were involved in that project. It won't be long before he discovers what you did back then."
It was as if a bomb went off in her head. The taut string in her mind finally snapped, and the color drained from her face.
"No... impossible!"
"I've said my piece. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
"Who are you? How do you know all this—"
Genevieve snapped back to her senses and pressed for answers, but before she could finish, the other party had hung up, leaving only a harsh dial tone.
Her mind reeled with the words from the anonymous caller.
