Chapter 18

Selene’s face turned pale with anger. She sneered and said sarcastically, “Genevieve, take a look at them. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a true shrew. What kind of life have you been leading for the past three years?”

Genevieve had planned to ignore their presence. Unfortunately, their impact on her appetite became undeniable.

She stood up, a sneer on her face, cast a glance at Quincey and Rosalie, and slowly walked toward them.

“Mrs. Hoffman, you’ve repeatedly claimed to look down on my background. Yet, it’s worth noting that Mr. Hoffman had not divorced his wife when you, as a secretary, became intimately involved with him and got pregnant. It appears that such customs are prevalent among the Hoffman family’s daughters–in–law. It’s something I could never bring myself to embrace,” said Genevieve.

Quincey’s face immediately turned pale when she heard Genevieve’s words, and she trembled with rage.

Whispered conversations began circulating among the people around her, disbelief evident on their faces. Genevieve’s revelation was nothing short of a bombshell.

When Genevieve had insisted on marrying Anthony back then, the Lawrence family had thoroughly investigated the Hoffman family.

Quincey’s eyes widened with anger, her face paling in embarrassment. Her shortcomings were being exposed publicly, and it was a shady past she would rather keep hidden. Pointing at Genevieve, she wished she could kill the

latter then and there.

“You bitch!” Quincey yelled.

Quincey was on the verge of slapping Genevieve, but Genevieve swiftly seized her wrist and coldly shook it back.

Losing her balance, Quincey took two steps back, nearly falling onto the carpet due to the momentum.

Quincey stared at Genevieve, who had been submissive, with astonishment, as if she didn’t recognize Genevieve

before her.

Approaching with a cold and indifferent demeanor and a chilly aura, Genevieve addressed, “Mrs. Hoffman, you’d
