Chapter 8

Selene looked at Genevieve’s haggard face and couldn’t contain her self–blame and sorrow. “Why didn’t you tell me you were pregnant? If only I hadn’t taken you out. I’m sorry…”

Genevieve paused momentarily. Her eyes welled up in tears as she forced a bitter smile. “What does it have to do with you? Rosalie deliberately set me up. If she fails this time, there will be a next time. You’re not the one I should be hating.”

Despair swirled in her eyes as she spoke.

Pain relentlessly gnawed at her heart, and she swore to make Rosalie pay for it.

Selene drew in a deep breath and said, “The video and pictures from that night have spread online, and people on the internet are condemning them. Anthony is searching for you everywhere. I think he probably wants to settle it privately with you soon. Genevieve, don’t be soft–hearted!”

Genevieve’s eyes shimmered. “Don’t worry. I’m not the hopeless romantic I used to be.”

‘He’ll be disappointed if he thinks I’d cooperate with him and clean up the mess like before. I’ll only add fuel to the fire now, she thought.

Once Selene left, Genevieve took out her phone.

There were dozens of missed calls from Anthony, Matthew, and even some from the

Hoffman residence.

She looked at the trending topic online.

The topics read: [Intrusion of homewrecker into a wealthy family.][Tragic accident befalls the legal wife. The perpetrator is the homewrecker.]

The video showed the dashboard camera footage from the vehicles around the clubhouse.

It presented the whole scenario from the time Genevieve waited there to the moment she

got hit.

The comment section below was flooded with anger and sympathy for her.

[She’s utterly inhumane. This is clearly intentional!]

[That woman is the mother of Anthony’s illegitimate child, right? She really resorted to every conceivable means to get what she wanted!]

[Anthony must be blind. Genevieve is worlds better than that woman!]

[I really feel sad for the legal wife. She discarded her dignity to do anything and everything for that man only to get betrayed in return. It seems like to a man, any other woman out there is better than his wife.]

[Arrest her and charge her with first–degree murder!]

Most of the netizens were condemning and criticizing Anthony and Rosalie.

Hoffman Group’s stocks also plummeted to a historic low.

This was a major incident in the history of Hoffman Group; no wonder Anthony was anxious.

Genevieve suspected the Lawrence family’s interference since even the Hoffman family couldn’t control the public opinion.

Although Darrell had said he would stay out of it, it was impossible for him to just stand by and watch.
