Chapter 857
“Didn't I ask you to figure out a way to get him to leave?” Genevieve looked down at Lucian.
Lucian was promptly speechless. “Take a good look at me, Mommy. I'm only five years old. I've done everything I
could. What can I do when he's determined to stay?”
Feeling that it made sense, Genevieve caressed the top of his head. Then, they went into the living room together.
The instant Hector spotted Genevieve, he stood up and shook her hand. “I'm Hector Lee. I've heard a lot about you
from Jojo. It's an honor to meet you today.”
When Genevieve heard him addressing Johanna so naturally and intimately, she grew all the more worried about
Timothy's position.
Shaking Hector's hand lightly, she inquired smilingly, “What did Jojo tell you about me?”

At that, the corners of Genevieve's mouth turned up. She then caught sight of Asel, who was dressed in a pink
dress, playing with Amanda on the floor.
Bending, she scooped the little girl up. “Did you miss me, Asel?”
At the sight of her, Asel giggled, punching and kicking at the air in excitement. Genevieve leaned forward and
pecked her on the cheek. Then, she placed her back onto the carpet.
Hector seemingly regarded himself as the master of the house, for he ordered the housekeeper to brew some
coffee and two glasses of almond milk.
All that didn't escape Genevieve's eyes.
Taking a seat on the couch, she took an orange from the fruit platter and tossed it at Lucian. “Please peel it for me,
Sweetie.”
Lucian pouted, but still, he dipped his head and peeled the orange obediently.
When he had finished peeling it and handed her the segments of orange, Genevieve popped them into her mouth
as she chatted with Hector.
“Isn't Jojo working in the greenhouse? Why didn't you tag along?”
“She doesn't like to be disturbed while she's drawing design drafts. I'll go and lend her a hand when she summons
me after she's done,” Hector replied.
“I think she should hire an assistant.” Looking the man up and down, Genevieve remarked jokingly, “Looking at you,
Mr. Lee, you're more suited to be in the office and make decisions for all projects.”
In response, Hector chuckled. “Many things can be settled online. I enjoy the wonderful moments spent working
together with Jojo.”
With just a few simple words, Genevieve found that his emotional intelligence was impressively high.
He isn't aggressive in pursuing a woman. Instead, he saturates her with tenderness little by little to make her fall in
love with him. If it were Timothy, he would simply apologize to Johanna.

Timothy: Isn't it said that men understood men best? Why are you incapable of defeating your love rival?
Timothy seemingly had his phone in hand, for he replied in no time: You went over to Jojo's place? Hector is there
as well, isn't he?
Genevieve: Yup. He even has Asel giggling away. I talked to him, and his position is far higher than yours. I won't be
surprised if Jojo asks him to stay the night.
A long while passed before Timothy texted back: I'll kill him if he dares stay the night.
He was almost overwhelmed by envy and fury at the thought of another man possessing his wife and child.
Genevieve stared at the WhatsApp message and only replied after a long while.
Just when she put down her phone, Johanna happened to return after concluding her work. “I saw from the news
previously that Rachel's mother was taken away by the police. What's the progress?”
She had been busy the past few days and seldom looked at her phone. Only when she saw the news that popped up
that morning did she know that the production company was in hot water.
When she saw that the company was fine after Genevieve had a press conference, and the journalists even
uploaded the video on the internet later, seemingly pointing to Rachel's mother demanding money from Rachel,
her worry abated.
