Chapter 639
She turned to Cooper and looked at him with an unnatural expression.
“Bruce called me yesterday and told me you passcil out. Ilclcft after I showed up,” said Cooper who guessed what Genevieve was thinking.
“There’s something I need to tell you. Genev.”
Genevieve noticed his grim expression, and that worried her. She was a little nervous as she asked, “What is it?”
Did Bruce say something to Cooper?
Cooper took luis phone out and played a video for her.
Genevieve noticed that the person taking the video seemed to be at a private gathering at the time. The videographer had his camera pointed at the bottles as though he was afraid the others would realize that he was secretly recording them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt didn’t take long before the video played a recording of some men talking. A guy talked about how Genevieve was young and beautiful and asked if Bruce had met her. Bruce replicd and claimed hic ran into her when he went to sign the contract.
As the conversation progressed, they began making a bet. Thic terms were as follows. If Bruce could get Genevieve to fall for him, his friend would give him a house.
Bruce sounded sleazy and nonchalant. “Pilt, a woman like her is ridiculously casy to con. If I win this bet, I want the house in Regality Gardens. Deal?”
“Deal!”
“I think she lives there, too. Okay, give me your house in advance so I can get closer to her and work my magic.”
Silence fell after that.
Genevieve turned pale after she heard the conversation. She was refreshed when she woke up that day, but that glee had since turned to hatred. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.
Bruce’s eyes shone with tenderness and love whenever he looked at her. She hadn’t expected that it was all a lic.
No wonder he was able to get his friend to lend him an erpensive condominium that easily.
Cooper turned off the video and calmly said, “I’ve long suspected that Bruce has an ulterior motive for getting close to you, so I had my people investigate him. It took me so long to get my hands on this recording. Cenev, don’t fall for his tricks. Everything lic did was designed to con
you.”
Genevieve thought about what had happened the night before at the artificial lake. She had even confessed her love to Bruce and fallen for him.
A stinging pain spread out in her heart.
However, her stoicism quickly overwhelmed that pain and extinguished it. Calmly, she replied, “I understand. I will keep my distance from him from now on.”
Cooper stared at her pale face, and he was cartbroken. Unfortunately, his hands were lied. All he could do was sigh internally.
After Genevieve was discharged from the hospital, she cut off all contact with Brucc.
She hated him for making that bet and messing with her feelings, but she had no intention of exacting her revenge on him. He had donc quite a bit for her during that time after all, and she quite enjoyed it.
On top of that, the movic Bruce was cast in was a movie directed by one of Paula’s friends. It had since been sent into post-production.
Genevieve didn’t want Bruce to get in trouble because it would affect the movie’s reception.
Joash had to accompany Bruce to the production company to retrieve their copy of the contract on a particular day. However, the company’s staff sent a WhatsApp message and told Joash to come alone instead.
Joash sensed that something was off about that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen he returned to the minivan, he hesitantly asked the man sitting next to him. “Uhm, Mr. Gable? Did something bad happen between you and Ms. Rachford?”
He thought the two of them looked rather good together, and they treated each other really well.
Why has the company suddenly banned Bruce from entering?
Bruce kept his attention on the script and calmly answered, “She’s my boss, so what could have happened? I bet Mr. Dixon is the one who has something against me.”
Joash thought that made sense.
Bruce would always make strange requests when he accepted a script, so James was often exasperated and frustrated because of it. Hence, it made sense that James would not want Bruce around.
Joash didn’t think much of it after that. He checked the app on his phone and murmured, “Mr. Gable, we’ll have to stay in the studio for over a month. I wonder if we can make it home in time for the festivities..”
The festivities?
Bruce turned his head and looked out the window as the car traveled down the road. He missed Genevieve and the kids.
I wonder if she‘d stay here for the festivities or if she‘d go to Dartan...
