Ivy pleaded on the ground as Oswaldo struck her, “Grandpa, stop hitting me, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, it was all my mom’s doing.”
At this moment, to escape punishment, she didn’t hesitate to shift all blame onto Genevieve, who was already too tarnished to clean her reputation.
“Aurora, I admit I did those things, but how can you slander Ivy and Zach by saying they aren’t your siblings? How can you make such serious accusations without proof?”
Genevieve, cunning as ever, admitted to the deeds since she could not deny them, but she refused to acknowledge the paternity of the children.
Aurora had long known this woman was full of lies, so she had gathered all the evidence before exposing her, ensuring Genevieve could not escape.
“Take a good look and see if I’m just making empty threats.”
Aurora tossed one report to Genevieve and another to Magnus.
“This is a paternity test I had done using Ivy and Paul’s hair. I only received the report recently. If you doubt it, you can have it redone right now,” said Aurora coolly.
Magnus trembled with rage as he saw the 99. 99% probability displayed on the report, while Genevieve wore a face of disbelief-Aurora had actually obtained Ivy and Paul’s hair.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
Magnus, holding the report, furiously threw it at Genevieve.
Genevieve was left speechless, struggling in vain as Magnus could now easily take them for verification.
Onlookers were astounded, thinking such drama only happened on TV, yet here it was, even more thrilling.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to deceive you, I just didn’t want you to be upset…” Genevieve continued to make excuses.
“You liar, I wish I had never known you in my life!”
Magnus reflected on the twenty years he had been deceived.
And to think he lost the most important woman in his life because of this great deceiver! Genevieve had usurped someone else’s place for years, living a life of luxury-how could fate be so unfair?
Had it not been for Aurora revealing the truth today, he might have never known.
“You even had two children with her? Well, Paul, I’m divorcing you and you won’t get a penny!”
Kimberly also lashed out, leaving Paul behind.
Genevieve, now scorned like a rat crossing the street, was looked down upon by everyone present, shocked that she would stoop so low for a life of wealth.
Oswaldo slammed his walking stick down hard and commanded his assistant to bring something over, leaving everyone wondering what it was.
Finnian Vance respectfully handed over a contract. Oswaldo said to Genevieve, “Although I’ve denied you all these years, considering the children are of the Montgomery family’s blood, and no matter their failures, I couldn’t mistreat them. This stock transfer document was prepared in advance.
I intended to give each child fifteen percent of the shares, but Genevieve, oh how splendidly you’ve deceived us.
Since you were after the Montgomery family’s money from the start, well, now I will give it to you!”
Oswaldo tore up the stock transfer document in front of everyone. Ivy and Zachary crawled towards Oswaldo on their knees.
“Grandpa, please no!”
Both felt as if their own flesh was being torn.
“Father, please stop, it’s my fault, it has nothing to do with the children!”
Despite her life of misdeeds, Genevieve had genuinely cared for her children, playing her role as a mother rather competently.
No matter how much they pleaded, Oswaldo only tore it up faster.
“Take it all,” he said, tossing the pieces into the air.
“No!”
Genevieve reached out to catch the fragments, but what good would it do? They were just bits of paper, legally worthless now.
The white scraps fluttered like butterflies beneath the grand crystal chandelier, reflecting its opulent light in Genevieve’s eyes.
Watching the paper dance, she felt as though her dreams of a wealthy life were shattering into countless pieces.
The scraps flew in the sky for a moment before settling on the ground, blending with the beautiful roses.
Before her eyes unfolded the twenty years of her luxurious life, which ended today as her dream broke, plunging her from heaven to hell.
“Throw this whore and her bastards out, and from today, they have no connection to the Montgomery family!”
Oswaldo could no longer stand the sight of them.
He felt even the word ‘disgust’ was too kind for them. Genevieve’s vision blurred with tears.
Yet she clung to a last hope.
“Mr. Montgomery, you can blame me for deceiving you, but the children are innocent. They may not be your blood, but after twenty-one years, they surely have a father’s affection. I can leave, but the children…”
Today, everyone witnessed the extent of Genevieve’s shamelessness, unprecedented and unsurpassed. Magnus interrupted her before she could finish.
“Innocent children? And I am not innocent? I have been deceived by you for years, leading to my family’s separation. You’ve spread such a colossal lie for your selfishness. I should be grateful I haven’t sued you for fraud, and you dare talk to me about affection? Everyone might deserve to discuss feelings with me, everyone but you, Genevieve. If you have an ounce of dignity, take them and leave. You know whose children they are. I’ve raised his kids for twenty-one years, do you expect me to continue forever? Get out, I don’t want to see you!”
Magnus kicked Genevieve away.
His affection for her had already faded, and now that he knew of her actions, he couldn’t bear to look at her any longer. Her existence in the modern world was a loss by itself.
Security was already there to take them away. Genevieve’s makeup was ruined by tears, her face now unrecognizable, but she got up willingly.
Ivy and Zachary, however, couldn’t accept this outcome.
“I won’t leave, I won’t leave, I am a daughter of the Montgomery family, who dares drive me away?”
“Miss Montgomery, please don’t make this difficult for us.”
“Aurora, you wretched woman, I won’t forgive you,” Zachary finally snapped, seizing a fruit knife and stabbing towards Aurora.
Tina had been watching them closely, fearing they might do something drastic. As Zachary moved, so did she, kicking his wrist.
Aurora, stunned, looked at the woman.
“Mom…”
