When Julian arrived, he saw the little woman leaning against the car, her white dress already stained with fresh blood. Like a few plum blossoms falling on the snow in the cold winter, the blood dripped from Aurora’s fingertips.
“Little Bunny, what happened to you!”
He was frantic, having only left her for a short while before she was injured, and quickly checked if there were other injuries on her body.
“Julian, I’m fine elsewhere; I cut my hand myself, it’s nothing serious, don’t worry,” Aurora reassured him, seeing his worried expression.
“How can such a big cut be nothing? I’m taking you to the hospital right away,” Julian insisted, troubled by the thought of her injuring herself unless something was wrong.
“Julian, there’s no time for the hospital, there’s a clinic nearby, just get someone to disinfect and bandage it. I have important things to handle soon.”
This time, Ivy’s actions had deeply provoked Aurora, who had not intended to reveal the truth today.
She didn’t want to spoil her grandfather’s good mood, but now, with Ivy repeating her actions from three years ago, Aurora could no longer bear it. She had to let the whole world know the true faces of Genevieve and Ivy!
She would have to temporarily inconvenience her grandfather, but if it meant driving these parasites out of the Montgomery family, her grandfather would surely forgive her.
“Okay,” Julian agreed, seeing her insistence. Her wound indeed needed immediate attention, so he agreed to stop by the nearby clinic.
Aurora dialed Alison’s number.
“I need you to do something for me.”
Alison smirked, “Oh, have you thought it through? Today is the perfect opportunity. If you miss it, even if you expose them later, it won’t have the same impact.”
“You needn’t say more. I’ve decided. I’ve already edited the video and will send it to you shortly. Arrange it, I’ll be back soon.”
“Alright.”
Alison and Aurora were on the same side, with Aurora aiming to strike at Genevieve, while Alison sought to break up Paul and Kimberly.
Having just witnessed a romantic proposal, Tina felt deeply moved; Aurora was the one she owed the most in her life. She recognized that Julian was the young man from those years ago.
Thinking of their wonderful fate, she felt reassured that Aurora would have someone to take care of her.
As she reflected, Genevieve approached with ill intent.
“Victoria!”
That was Tina’s former name, casually uttered, which could easily catch someone off guard, but she underestimated Tina.
Having returned to the US for over a decade, no one had called her by that name, and she felt indifferent to it, maintaining her pose without moving.
“Mrs. Montgomery, are you calling me?”
she asked, puzzled, not understanding why Genevieve would call her that.
“Mrs. Montgomery? Stop pretending, Victoria. You think changing your identity can ruin my marriage? Dream on! You were no match for me over a decade ago, and you still are,” Genevieve taunted.
Tina smiled lazily, toying with her wine glass.
“Mrs. Montgomery, I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about. You keep saying he’s your husband, why are you so afraid of him being taken away? Is it because you yourself snatched him through despicable means, so you’re always on guard, fearing he’ll be stolen from you?”
“You’re talking nonsense, it’s you who is shameless. You’ve been dead for so many years, why come back now?”
“Mrs. Montgomery, I’ve been alive and well all this time. Who said I was dead? I heard a rumor that you’ve been kicked out of the Montgomery family, is that true?”
Now, Tina was like Aurora, bristling with sharp thorns that kept everyone at bay, especially Genevieve.
“If you’re not Victoria, why do you care about these things? I warn you, stay away from my husband, or else…”
Genevieve threatened fiercely.
She was even more convinced that this woman was Victoria, although she did not know how she had faked her death. Back then, Victoria was no match for her, and it would be the same now.
Tina’s smile widened, “Or what? Mrs. Montgomery, tell me, between the two of us, who do you think he believes-you or me?”
“What do you mean?”
Genevieve suddenly realized she couldn’t see through the woman in front of her.
“It means nothing, just that I want to play a game with you.”
Suddenly, Tina released the wine glass she was holding; it smashed on the floor with a loud “snap,” immediately drawing the attention of everyone around.
Magnus was nearby and, hearing the sound of the breaking glass, hurried over to see Tina covering her face, “Tina, are you alright?”
Tina shook her head, “Mr. Montgomery, please… please control your wife. I don’t know what just happened; she came here unprovoked, telling me not to steal you away, and even slapped me…”
“How dare she?”
Magnus had never doubted her word, whether in the past or now, despite her aloof demeanor.
“I didn’t, Magnus…”
Genevieve finally realized what Tina was up to, seeing her smiling triumphantly behind her back.
“Snap.”
Without a word, Magnus slapped Genevieve across the face, shocking everyone present.
Magnus, always a gentle and respectful gentleman, well-regarded in high society, how could he suddenly strike his own wife?
As time passed, everyone had forgotten what his first wife looked like. With Tina’s makeup and attire completely different from over a decade ago, it took a moment for people to recognize her.
Oswaldo, disturbed by the noise, looked over sharply.
When he saw Tina’s face, his expression changed drastically, his own glass of red wine dropping to the floor.
“Vic… Victoria!”
“Oswaldo, what’s the matter?”
William asked, puzzled by his reaction.
Under everyone’s gaze, Genevieve wished she could disappear, finally understanding the meaning behind Tina’s earlier words!
“You wretch, I told you I wanted nothing to do with you anymore, yet you still cling to the Montgomery family. I never want to see you again in my life; please, spare my eyes from your sight,” Magnus said coldly.
Remembering what Genevieve had done to Victoria, he felt even more remorseful, “Tina, are you alright? Does your face still hurt?”
“Mr. Montgomery, I’m fine.”
Tina stepped back, keeping her distance. She had targeted Genevieve intentionally but had not forgiven Magnus.
As everyone watched, suddenly the large screen in the hall turned on, filling the room with the sound of a woman’s moans.
