“She indirectly caused Rachel to commit suicide, so she'll be convicted,” Genevieve elaborated.
“Poor Rachel.” Johanna lowered her eyes.
Like Rachel, she had an irresponsible mother. Worse still, she had a gambling-obsessed father who
used her to pay off his gambling debts.
If I hadn't bumped into Genevieve in Xedells that night, I would have ended up no better than Rachel.
Clocking her low-spirited state, Genevieve sprang to her feet and grabbed her hand. “It's been a long
time since we last dined together. Let's go out for lunch this noon! It'll just be us three adults while
Lucian and the kids stay home to eat.”
Then, she turned to Hector. “Mr. Lee, aren't you going to treat me to a meal since this is the first time
we're meeting?”
Hector nodded with a smile. “It'll be my pleasure.”
As soon as Amanda heard that her mother wanted to leave them at home, she pouted and geared up
to voice her objection. Lucian hastily clapped a hand over her mouth. “After lunch, I'll help you with your
Lego Disney castle.”
After hearing that, Amanda promptly turned docile.
Well, it's quite worthwhile to exchange a meal outside with free labor from Lucian for an afternoon!
When they had all gotten into the car, Genevieve said to Hector, “I haven't eaten barbeque in a long
while, so let's go and have some at Quintessential Barbecue. Can you eat spicy, Mr. Lee?”
“Of course! While I grew up abroad, I'm still from Jadeborough and love eating spicy!” Hector answered
with a grin.
“Great!”
It happened to be lunch hour when they arrived at Quintessential Barbecue. Hence, the place was filled
to the brim. The three of them were led to a table by the window by the server.
Shortly after they had ordered, the server carried a grill plate over. As the oil sizzled, a fragrant aroma
permeated the air.
Johanna talked shop with Hector, asking him to lend her a hand in the afternoon. Not only did Hector
readily agree, but he even thoughtfully placed some grilled mutton slices into her bowl.
As the three of them were eating, someone patted Genevieve on the shoulder out of the blue.
“Genevieve.”
Genevieve looked back over her shoulder, only to see Charlotte, who was wearing an off-shoulder top.
Her skin was fair to the point that it glowed, and her waist was unbelievably slender.
Coupled with her beautifully long, wavy hair, she was sweet and stunning.
Lifting her hand, Charlotte brushed her long hair aside, revealing her petite face. Smiling, she
explained, “I spotted you outside the window just now, so I came in to greet you.”
“What a coincidence!” Genevieve beamed at her before peering behind her. “You're alone?”
“Yeah. I'm going to the jewelry store to collect the earrings I have customized and happened to walk
past here on my way there.”
“Would you like to join us if you haven't had lunch? I still owe you a meal, so it'll be my treat today,”
Genevieve offered.
“Sure! It so happens that I love barbeque.” Charlotte didn't bother standing on formality either.
The table by the window seated four, so she graciously sat down next to Hector and greeted him upon
joining them.
In response, Hector inclined his head at her. Due to the proximity, he could smell the faint floral
fragrance on her, very much sweet and enticing.
He could sense that the perfume was tailored especially for her.
Johanna had long since severed all ties with Timothy, so she didn't mind Charlotte's presence, eating
and drinking freely.
Despite acting high and mighty at times, Charlotte was adept at socializing. That aside, she loved
fashion and makeup. Therefore, she had no problems understanding Hector and Johanna's
conversation. Occasionally, she even chimed in and gave her two cents.
When Hector saw that Charlotte wanted to eat barbecued shrimps, he automatically suggested, “Let
me peel it for you instead, Ms. Benson.”
“Sure! But I only eat shrimps peeled by my boyfriend.” Charlotte then tilted her head and gazed at him
with her alluring eyes. “Are you my boyfriend?”
Aware that she was teasing him, Hector guffawed and withdrew his hand.
