Submitting To My Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 229

In an instant, the temperature in the room seemed to drop.

Lauraine looked at Anthony in shock and couldn’t help but burst into hysterical tears. “It’s her who bullied me, can’t you see? Why are you still siding with her at this moment?”

She glanced at Louis with a mix of grievance and despair. Her voice sounded hoarse. “And you, you’ve been deceived by her. She’s not a good person at all. Can’t you see how she bullies me?”

Lauraine felt utterly wronged and couldn’t understand why everyone was siding with Genevieve.

She was devastated as her brother and the man she liked showed no concern for her.

Even if they knew the truth, they just wanted to brush it under the rug.

She thought, Just why? What makes her so special?‘

Lauraine hated Genevieve to the core, her chest swelling with resentment and bitterness.

She stared deeply at Louis, her eyes shimmering with resentment and determination. “You were supposed to be mine. Genevieve is just using you as a stepping stone. Now she’s back getting entangled with Tony. Why can’t you see through her?”

Louis fell silent for a moment, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness.

The onlookers watched the scene unfold with a hint of shock.

Lauraine’s sudden confession took everyone by surprise.

Genevieve’s lips curled in amusement, but she remained silent.

Finally, Louis spoke, his voice cold and cutting. “Backing Genevieve up is my decision. There’s no need for outsiders to meddle in our affairs. Ms. Hoffman, you seem to have forgotten what you did to Genevieve. You’re. not exactly a paragon of innocence, are you?”

His words felt like a bucket of ice water dumped over Lauraine, freezing her in place.

She thought, “He knew, he knew everything. He knew I had something to do with Genevieve falling into the sea. He knew that I was shameless and sinister. He saw through the dirt and unwillingness in me.’

At that moment, under the diamond lights, she bared her soul, only to be laid bare by Louis‘ penetrating gaze.

She wished she could disappear.

Suddenly, images of Genevieve falling into the sea and Louis leaping after her flashed through Lauraine’s mind. She was suffocating in her chest.
