Chapter 180

Genevieve was no fool. Scarred by past betrayals, she had grown wary of Whitney’s maneuvers,

especially given the losses she had suffered at the hands of Whitney.

In a prior incident, Whitney had stolen her design, saved only by Kimberly’s sense of justice.

Otherwise, Genevieve might have left the company long ago.

This time, Whitney had abandoned her usual aggressive tactics and taken a seemingly friendly

approach.

As the head of the department, Genevieve valued harmony in the workplace, understanding she still

needed to interact professionally with Whitney.

Little did she realize that old habits die hard. Whitney’s return was not without ulterior

motives.

Joey, Genevieve’s colleague who brought her juice, had a dubious side. Ever reliant on flattery to get

ahead, Joey would have been fired long ago if not for her creative talents.

Genevieve, however, saw through Joey’s tactics, having always admired Kimberly’s promotion of

employees based on merit alone.

Despite Joey’s many attempts to win her favor, she gained nothing from Genevieve.

Even a male colleague, who started at the same time as Joey, had risen to a junior supervisor role.

Resentful at being passed over for promotion, she was convinced that Genevieve and the male

colleague were having an affair. In her book, Genevieve was abusing her powers to promote the man.

So, when Whitney returned, Joey, as easily swayed as a weathervane in the wind, begant playing both

sides to her advantage.

While maintaining a facade of politeness toward Whitney, Joey unknowingly became a pawn in the

latter’s bold schemes.

Joey showered Whitney with compliments, and it was not long before she became Whitney’s number

one pawn.

She was thrilled to learn of Whitney’s plan.

It felt like a heaven-sent opportunity had fallen into her lap.

Joey had long held a grudge against Genevieve, and Whitney’s plot seemed to present. the perfect

chance for Joey to vent her frustrations while also earning the latter’s favor.

In her mind, this would surely be the key to a smooth climb the rest of her life.

corporate ladder for

However, plans, as they inevitably did, unfolded with unforeseen twists. Joey had overlooked Samuel in

her calculations.

Genevieve spoke up bluntly, “Ms. Larson, is there something you need from me? How’s the progress

on the project for the design competition?”

Genevieve’s demeanor faintly resembled Kimberly’s, provoking a frown and a sense of uneasiness in

Whitney. The former’s tone made Whitney feel as if she were the subordinate.

While she was indeed under Genevieve’s supervision as the deputy CEO, Whitney could not ignore her

own status as the scion of the powerful Larson family.

The entire Larson Corporation was owned by her family, and Whitney was baffled. when a mere junior

director like Genevieve addressed her so directly.

Whitney held back the words she had intended to say. With a thin smile, she said, “I wanted to discuss

with you the team leader position for Project One. There’s an opening now. Joey’s solid at her job, she

has a sharp wit and seems to get along well with her colleagues. She seems a fitting candidate for this

role. You know how they say, the locomotive sets the pace for the train! I’m thinking of promoting Joey.

It’d definitely bring some performance to the company. What do you think?”

If there was any doubt about an alliance between Joey and Whitney, this conversation only seemed to

confirm Genevieve’s suspicions.

Those two were clearly in cahoots.

Despite not knowing their true motives for taking her down, Genevieve realized she needed to be

careful, recalling Samuel’s advice to stay guarded against Whitney’s ill

intentions.

It felt like walking on thin ice, where every step demanded not just care but a constant drive to better

herself.

However, Genevieve could not shake off the unease, especially after hearing about Kimberly’s recent

troubles.

The villains were making their moves, and both Christopher and she were bearing the brunt of the

harm somehow.

Genevieve, forcing a relaxed demeanor, spoke without a trace of courtesy, “Fair point, Ms. Larson, but

we’ve always done promotions democratically around here. Joey can be considered among the

candidates. We’ll take a vote on the promotion. Whoever gets the

highest votes will be promoted.”

Genevieve’s words were logical and irrefutable, leaving Whitney at a loss for a response.

Initially thinking securing a small position for Jocy would be easy, Whitney’s intentions were clear,

which was to maintain the latter’s loyalty and silence her.

However, she had not counted on Genevieve’s dedication to protocol. The more she pondered about it,

the more Whitney realized that saw the similarities between Genevieve and Kimberly.

Amusingly, Whitney and Kimberly, who shared the same blood, often seemed like strangers. Yet

Genevieve, an outsider, surprisingly shared many parallels with Kimberly.

Having faced a setback with Genevieve, Whitney left with a disgruntled expression.

When Whitney left, Genevieve heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest.

This new attempt to handle Whitney required some getting used to, but Genevieve wast prepared for

the challenge.

Olivia had just returned home from the Larson residence and was settling in for a nap when she

received a call from Vincent.

On the other end of the phone, Vincent sounded like an enthusiastic child, his words bubbling over with

excitement and joy.

Edward’s efficiency had been proven impressive.

The moment a specialist learned the diagnosis concerned a family member of Edward, they readily

agreed to help and adjusted their schedule to quickly arrive in Dellmoor.

After conducting a thorough examination of Vincent’s mother, the specialist laid out a comprehensive

treatment plan for Diana.

She would first recuperate in a local Dellmoor hospital. Once Diana’s condition improved, she would be

transferred to a hospital in Sumanthova for surgery.

The specialist specifically instructed Vincent’s family to spend more time with her now, explaining that a

strong will to live improves the surgery’s outcomes.

After evaluation, the specialist estimated a 60 percent success rate for the operation.

For Vincent, this glimmer of hope was like a beam shining into the darkness he had. been walking in.

In his sweet, joyful voice, Vincent suddenly said, “Once Mom recovers, let’s get married.”

Olivia felt herself blushing at the abrupt proposal. “Are you trying to propose?” she asked shyly.

Now, the couple had become one.

Vincent was happy, and Olivia felt that happiness too.

“Yeah,” she gently responded.

Love was indeed a fickle thing.

Some found solace in its sweetness and joy, while others bear the weight of misery in its

name.

Jaxon found himself caught in a toll of emotions being a son-in-law in the Jennings

household. It was a difficult journey that he had to navigate.

The other day, at the Sullivan residence, he saw in Olivia’s eyes held only Vincent, as if there was no

longer a place for himself.

Jaxon wondered if Olivia resented him, especially since she had chosen to return to the Sullivan

residence.

To this day, he still wondered about her sentiments toward him.

Little did Jaxon know, Olivia now saw him as a stranger, stripped of both love and hatred.

Despite her seemingly distant demeanor, her loyalty stood unwavering, and she had reserved a special

place in her heart just for Vincent.

The preparations for Jaxon and Isabella’s wedding were in full swing.

Later in the afternoon, they had a plan for their wedding photoshoot, and the ceremony was set to take

place in two weeks.

Benjamin, however, laid down a condition. Jaxon must confront his roots before the wedding, a

condition that Jaxon had met.
