Chapter 688
Chapter 688
“Have you heard of Lightview Group’s Mr. Turner? Mr. Turner has business dealings with my brother’s c
ompany, and he has told my brother about how you’ve been looking for the tiger. I found out about it lat
er on and was moved by you and your wife’s story. However, I was also unable to find the little tiger you
’ve lost.”
After a pause, Genevieve honestly said to him, “That’s why I spent some time looking for that particular
doll–maker and asked her to make me another one.”
At that, Herbert’s expression darkened a little.
When Sylvie saw the grimace on the elderly man’s face, she gloomily said, “That pair of tiger dolls was
a wedding gift from the doll–
maker to my grandparents. They’re a pair, and there’s only one of the kind in this world. Granddad is alr
eady upset about losing one of those tigers. Ms. Rachford, you’re only making everyone upset by gettin
g the original doll–maker to remake a new tiger.”
Herbert did not speak, but he threw the little doll back into the box with a cold look on his face.
As Genevieve looked at the elderly man’s cold expression, she quietly said, “I did this exactly because
of how this pair of tiger dolls are General Zeigler and his wife’s wedding gift–
because it’s supposed to be a pair.”

Sylvie laughed. “Replacing the old one for a new one. Are you saying that my granddad should find a n
ew partner?”
The Zeiglers around them, who were already displeased about Genevieve’s presence, found Geneviev
e’s actions upsetting after seeing her present a gift like that to Herbert.
Any Zeiglers–including the grandsons–knew how much Herbert loved his wife.
Even though his wife had passed away many decades ago, Herbert had still chosen to stay faithful
to her.
His never–
changing love for his wife affected the children of the Zeigler family and made them particularly careful
when it came to choosing a partner.
In the meantime, after hearing Sylvie’s words, Yuvan felt that he had made the wrong decision to let Ge
nevieve and Cooper come.
However, Genevieve shook her head and softly said, “No, I wish to tell General Zeigler that the tigers ar
e meant to be a pair, and no one gets left behind. It’s the same for people. General Zeigler, the little tig
er is lost, but it has returned to you in a different way. It’s the same as your wife. She knows how much
you love her, and she has been discreetly staying by your side.”

At that, Sylvie narrowed her eyes, “Ms. Rachford, what’s lost cannot be replaced by something
new.
“It’s not a replacement.” Genevieve gave her a small smile. “They were a pair, and they’re incomplete
now. I just wish for them to be whole again.”
“But it’s not the real deal,” Sylvie pointed out with a mocking laugh. “There’s no way to make it whole a
nymore.”
“Whether or not it’s the real deal doesn’t matter. What matters is that this tiger doll is the symbol of love
,” Genevieve said in a mellow voice. “Now, they’re together again.”
Sylvie’s expression paled, then darkened. And for once, she was impressed by Genevieve’s sharp
tongue.
Even Sylvie could not win against her in the argument.
Sylvie then took a deep breath and said, “Ms. Rachford, it’s time for you to leave. We’re about to celebr
ate my granddad’s birthday.”
Nevertheless, Genevieve ignored her and turned to Herbert. “General Zeigler, this gift is for you. and yo
ur wife. Keep it if you like it, but if you don’t like it, feel free to throw it away. I shall not crash your birthd
ay celebration anymore.”

After chatting with Yuvan the other day, Genevieve had entertained the thought of coming to the Zeigler
residence to aggressively confront Sylvie on the day of Herbert’s birthday.
However, she knew well about the Zeigler family’s influence in Baykeep and the rest of the
country.
Genevieve did not want to offend all of the Zeiglers, who would then put pressure on Specter Corporati
on in the corporate world. Thus, she spent some time preparing a gift for Herbert.
While Cooper was wheeling her away, Genevieve asked quietly, “Coop, do you think that Old Mr. Zeigle
r is angry?”
“No.” Cooper told her. “When you were talking with Sylvie, I noticed that Old Mr. Zeigler kept staring at t
he little tiger doll. He has also listened to everything you said. If he wasn’t swayed by your words, he w
ouldn’t have kept his silence.”
Genevieve thought so too.
However, they were already nearing the parking space. Genevieve narrowed her eyes and said, “If no
one stops us from leaving, then we’ll go back ourselves.”
She was going to expose Sylvie for the imposter she was, and the Zeiglers were going to thank
her for that.
Right then, hurried footsteps approached them from behind.
