Chapter 951
“He's my type.” Rebecca was straightforward in her reply. “If he's still single, could you please do me a favor?”
Genevieve was surprised. “But you only met him once. Is this love at first sight?”
Rebecca nodded.
Genevieve whipped her phone out, about to share Steven's contact with her cousin, but then she remembered
something. “As I said earlier, he's older than my husband by a few years, meaning he's older than you by more than
a decade. I'm sure you also know about Renee and Landon. Uncle Phineus disapproved of their marriage, and the
father and daughter are still on bad terms as a result.”
Although Herbert was very open and flexible about who his grandchildren dated and fell in love with, given the
Zeigler family's status and background, not anyone could marry his granddaughter just like that.
Hence, with Steven being a lot older than Rebecca and his background so plain that it was almost next to nothing,
Genevieve reckoned that Felix would disagree.
“He may be older than me by ten years or so, but that's not a problem.” Rebecca, however, was not bothered at

In the end, Rebecca achieved what she wanted as Genevieve sent her Steven's contact.
Meanwhile, Genevieve glanced at her phone and noticed that it was almost time. Thus, appearing as if she was
retrieving a hairband from her bag, she used the opportunity to remove something else, hide it by her waist, and
cover it up with her clothes.
“I need to use the restroom. Do you want to come?”
Rebecca waved her hand and turned Genevieve down.
Slipping out of the room, Genevieve headed toward the restroom according to the directions on the signboard. Out
of a sudden, darkness descended.
Though she knew the power would be cut off, Genevieve was still startled by the sudden event. She remained still
for a moment to quickly calm herself down before removing a ring from her pocket when she failed to hear any
footsteps around her.
The ring had been coated with fluorescent paint, so the faint glow it emitted lit up the surroundings slightly.
With her breath held, Genevieve quickly located the target room. She swiftly twisted the doorknob and drew the
gun she had hidden on her waist.
Opposite her was a bed, where someone was seemingly sleeping on it.
As she wielded the gun, Genevieve's hands were trembling intensely. However, she steeled her resolve as soon as
she thought of her daughter. She then pointed the gun at the head of the lady sleeping on the bed. Closing her
eyes, she fired a shot before hurriedly throwing the weapon away and leaving the room. Through the glow emitted
by the ring, she paced quickly toward a restroom not far away.
Just as she entered and closed the door to the restroom, footsteps sounded just outside.
Meanwhile, Genevieve was shaking badly at the thought of what had happened just now. Her anxiety almost had
her falling to her knees. However, she bit her lower lip and used the pain to pull herself back to her senses. After
entering a cubicle, she swiftly removed the ring and her disposable gloves before flushing them away.
A moment later, a shriek suddenly came from the outside.
The shriek had Genevieve biting herself even harder so the pain she felt could keep her together. Based on her
instinct, she slowly walked in the direction of the door. As soon as her hands touched the wall, she tilted her head
back before swinging it forward to ram it against the wall.
The next thing Genevieve knew after she woke up was that her forehead was throbbing. She also noticed Rebecca
was sitting beside her.

Upon seeing her regain consciousness, Rebecca hurriedly poured a glass of water and delivered it to Genevieve.
“Yes. When the employees opened the restroom door, they found you lying on the ground, out cold. How did you
manage to knock yourself out?”
“The lights went out suddenly when I wanted to leave the restroom. Then this shriek startled me so badly that I
slipped and hit my forehead on something. It hurts pretty bad...”
“Don't. We only just applied some medicine on your head.” Rebecca stopped Genevieve from touching her injury.
Meanwhile, Genevieve accepted the glass of water and took a few sips. “What happened? Why did the power go
out all of a sudden?”
“I think there was a short circuit.” Rebecca lowered her voice and whispered, “However, in that mere two minutes
when there was a blackout, Nigel Hompton's wife was murdered.”
“What?” Genevieve looked toward Rebecca with a shocked expression. Her hand that was holding the cup of water
was also trembling slightly.
Just as Rebecca was about to say more, the door opened, and Evan's aunt entered with two bodyguards in black
suits following her.
One of the bodyguards approached Genevieve with a gloomy expression. “Ms. Rachford, we need to speak with
you. Alone.”
