If you were to ask Genevieve what she feared most right now, it would likely be the thought of Magnus forcing her to leave the Montgomery family. After several days of calm, she hadn’t expected Magnus to bring up past issues at this time. She remembered what Aurora had said before-it seemed this matter was related to her again.
That little wretch, she’s quite skilled at playing dirty behind the scenes.
“Magnus, it’s already dark outside, where do you expect me to go?” Genevieve was well aware of what mattered to the man.
She wouldn’t throw a tantrum like Ivy; when dealing with men, softness could overcome hardness, a tactic that had never failed her before. But today, it was already too late.
However, when a man has given up on you, anything you say is in vain; his heart no longer holds a place for you. All the gentleness and consideration are reserved only for the woman he loves.
Magnus’s expression did not change at her words.
“That’s your problem. A hotel, Airbnb, anywhere will do.” Magnus stood erect in the middle of the room, showing no pity for Genevieve’s vulnerability.
Genevieve started to panic. Being scolded or even hit by Magnus would be preferable to this cold indifference, as if he were speaking to a stranger.
“Magnus, I haven’t packed my things yet, I haven’t found a place, at least wait until daylight,” Genevieve resorted to stalling again.
“Daylight? Then after daylight, you’ll want to wait until dark, day after day. I thought a woman who did what you did would leave on her own, without needing anyone to tell her.
But you keep making excuses, over and over again. Could it be that you can’t bear to leave behind the wealth and prestige? I even suspect that you destroyed my parents’ marriage just for money.”
Aurora, who had never spoken about this matter, began to stir the pot. She wouldn’t give Genevieve a chance, nor would she allow Magnus any room to soften.
Now was the best time to drive Genevieve out, and choosing today to come back had a reason too.
The weather forecast had predicted rain today. The moon was hidden, and the sky was covered with dark clouds.
Genevieve coldly looked towards Aurora, “It was you who instigated this, you!” She was biting her teeth in hatred, but what could she do about it?
She had made a mistake and Magnus had caught her red-handed. Magnus trusted Aurora implicitly.
Her chances of turning the situation around were nonexistent, especially since she had committed an act that all men despise.
Seeing her lash out at Aurora, Magnus was even more displeased, “It was you who committed such disgraceful acts. I told you before, you should leave on your own to avoid an ugly scene.”
“Magnus, look at the weather, it’s going to rain soon, I promise I’ll leave tomorrow.”
“No, I’ve given you your last chance. Starting now, you have one hour to leave. And remember, don’t take anything from the Montgomery family. Just your own belongings.” Magnus left coldly.
As he reached the door, he paused slightly, “If you’re not gone in one hour, don’t blame me then.”
“No!!!” Genevieve reached out to grab the hem of his coat, but Magnus moved quickly and she didn’t even touch him.
“Aurora, are you satisfied now? You’ve achieved your goal!” Genevieve had previously taught Ivy to remain calm and composed, but everyone has their limits.
They had crossed hers, and she could no longer endure being manipulated by a young girl.
Aurora approached her step by step, gracefully bending down and whispering into her ear, “How could I ever be satisfied with just you? I want you and your bastards out of the Montgomery family.”
Genevieve’s eyes reddened, “Don’t even think about it! We won’t let you get a hold of us ever again.”
“Is that so? Ha… Genevieve, you have fifty-nine minutes. Hurry up and pack your things, or you really will be out on the streets,” Aurora said as she walked towards the door.
Watching Aurora’s arrogant figure leaving, Genevieve felt increasingly panicked. It was bad; Aurora was going to target Ivy and Zachary too. Once she was out of the Montgomery family, who knew what would happen to them? They definitely weren’t a match for Aurora.
She rushed into Ivy’s room, where Ivy was still sulking over a previous incident. Hearing the door open, Ivy shouted, “Get out! I’m not eating anything.”
Hearing her voice, Genevieve’s heart grew even more bitter. She was about to leave, and her precious girl was still upset.
“Ivy, listen to me.”
“I won’t listen, I won’t listen.”
Genevieve pulled Ivy’s hands away from her ears, “Ivy, Mom is about to leave. You need to listen carefully to every word I say and remember them.”
Hearing that her mother was leaving, Ivy’s expression changed, “Mom, it’s already night; where are you going?”
“I made a mistake, and now your father is going to throw me out of the Montgomery family. I don’t have much time left…”
“What! Dad’s throwing you out; has he lost his mind? I’m going to find him right now!” Ivy was still struggling to accept this.
Genevieve quickly shook her head, “Don’t waste time. Your father only gave me an hour to pack my things.”
“How could Dad do this?”
“Don’t interrupt me. Although it’s my fault, Aurora is the instigator.
Kicking me out of the Montgomery family is just the first step; I’m afraid she will soon come after you. Remember what she said? She said she would drive all of us out of the Montgomery family. Remember, you mustn’t let her catch you in anything!”
Genevieve was really worried about her two children, who were already impulsive by nature. If someone as cautious as her could fall into Aurora’s trap, the children were even more vulnerable.
“Mom, how could Aurora do this to us? I just played a prank on her, does she have to hold such a grudge?” Ivy was unaware that Genevieve had done more than just tease Aurora; she had also plotted to assassinate her.
“That’s her business now. Remember my words, don’t do anything wrong, don’t let her catch you. No matter how she provokes you, you must endure and not act as before,” Genevieve felt there was still so much left unsaid.
“Mom, I don’t want you to go, I don’t want.”
“Silly child, it’s only temporary that Mom is leaving. I will definitely come back. This is something we cannot help right now; we must think long-term and gradually deal with her!” Genevieve let go of her hands.
Was this it? Of course not. This was just the beginning of her war with Aurora, and she would not let Aurora have the last laugh.
“Mom, what exactly did you do for Dad to throw you out like this?” Ivy still clung to her.
“Don’t ask anymore; I’m going to pack my things.” How could she possibly tell her children such things?
