Submitting To My Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 2

A cold chuckle escaped Genevieve when she heard what Anthony said.

“Leave her be,” were the words he had uttered, in a voice so cold that it made her feel like she had fallen into an icy abyss and left to suffer in painful silence.

‘To him, I’m nothing more than a woman who took advantage of him. By initiating divorce, I’m doing him a favor by releasing him from this marriage,’ she pondered.

A mocking smile played on Genevieve’s lips as a devastated but decisive look flashed in her bloodshot eyes.

She looked away from the scene and, without another trace of doubt, strode out of the hotel.

Genevieve did like Anthony, but even she knew she had to draw the line somewhere. She would not let her pride be trampled on without putting up a fight.

There was nothing shameful about getting a divorce. In fact, it would be even more shameful for her to defend a man whom she knew had cheated on her and had fathered an illegitimate child behind her back. That would truly make her the butt of the joke!

At present, the only thought in her mind was to reclaim her lost dignity from this total humiliation.

When Genevieve got back to her and Anthony’s marital home, she looked around at the elaborate furnishings she had picked out in hopes that he’d feel warm and cozy the moment he came home.

Now, the mansion felt too big and empty.

She recalled how Anthony had only stayed here for a day when he came home last month before leaving in a hurry.

However, the mere appearance of him had left her so over the moon that she didn’t even

know what to do.

‘He has likely been accompanying Rosalie and their child during these three years all along,’ she mused in disappointment and disgust.

Genevieve was upstairs packing when she heard the servant knock on the door, saying, “Mrs. Hoffman, Mr. Foster is here.”

Genevieve froze momentarily before walking out of the room. When she saw Matthew Foster, Anthony’s assistant, she noticed he had a suitcase next to him and appeared to have just descended from the plane.

Holding a jewelry box and a bouquet of fresh flowers, he smiled and held them out to her. “Mrs. Hoffman, these are gifts from Mr. Hoffman for your third wedding anniversary.”

Genevieve stiffened a little and looked up at Matthew. It suddenly occurred to her that every anniversary gift she had received from Anthony was always delivered by Matthew.

‘Anthony’s still celebrating his illegitimate child’s birthday right now. How could he have possibly prepared these gifts?’ Genevieve scoffed inwardly and did not reach for the gifts.

As her disappointment snowballed, she realized she could do nothing but admit her

failure.

“Mr. Foster, Anthony doesn’t even remember what day it is today. You’re the one who prepared these gifts, right?” asked Genevieve.

Matthew’s smile briefly tightened at this. He looked like he was close to grimacing as he replied, “Mrs. Hoffman…”

His reaction showed Genevieve the truth, and she felt like a boulder had been lifted off her chest, allowing her to breathe again. Getting an answer was also a kind of relief.

Genevieve felt like a complete fool for having been so delighted when she received these gifts in the past years.

‘How could I have been so dim–witted not to notice anything amiss?’ she pondered.

Without another word, Genevieve turned on her heels and went upstairs once more.

She took out her phone, wanting to call her family, but hesitated at the last moment.

Back then, she had defied her family’s wishes when she insisted on marrying Anthony, so she thought she deserved everything that was happening to her now.
