Chapter 17


    Erica was currently chatting with several richdies, and she was making fun of Genevieve‘s downfall.


    The sharp–eyed Erica immediately noticed Genevieve when thetter returned to the banquet hall, and


    a cold smile appeared on her face.


    This woman is really pitiful! She has been humiliated like that, and she still has the courage to return.


    Before Erica could say something to Genevieve, the woman who had poured wine on Genevieve


    earlier yanked thetter over. “You pped Ms. Hall a dozen times. Do you think we‘re going to let it


    slide? Go apologize to her!”


    “She‘s a mistress and deserves to be beaten. Why should I apologize to her?” Genevieve dered


    firmly and shook the woman‘s hand off.


    The current Genevieve was arrogant and confidentpared to her pathetic state a moment ago.


    Erica did not understand how Genevieve regained her confidence aftering back from the restroom.


    Then, she said indignantly, “Genevieve, we‘re friends. You‘ve done something improper, yet you want


    to nder me?‘


    Armand had also stated that Genevieve was just his femalepanion.


    “I‘m ndering you?” Genevieve sneered coldly and moved closer to Erica. “Do you dare to swear an


    oath to everyone here that you, my best friend, have never seduced my ex husband and had a three–


    year–old child with him?”


    Her bright eyes that carried a hint of coldness made Erica tremble. Thetter pushed Genevieve away


    with force. “Why should I make an oath for something I have never done?”


    Genevieve replied coldly, “You‘re guilty, so you dare not give us your words.”


    The other woman seemed to be siding with Erica and said, “Genevieve, everyone here will not be


    fooled by you. You‘re the one who cheated on your husband first. You‘re a lowly and shameless


    woman. Moreover, I believe that Ms. Hall isn‘t that kind of person!”


    “Is that so?” Genevieve raised her eyebrow and revealed a faint smile. “I have an interesting video. I‘ll


    y it on the projector screen for everyone to watch.”


    As her words fell, the huge projector screen in the banquet hall lit up all of a sudden.


    Soon, a video began ying on the screen. The first scene was Cooper and Erica talking in the hotel.


    Their conversation was heard clearly by everyone present.


    “You‘re really ruthless. You‘re not leaving even a penny to Genevieve. I heard her grandmother‘s


    medicine is quite expensive!”

    “She‘s already that old. It‘s best if she is dead.”


    “Cooper, are you so ruthless? You even dare to harm your adoptive parents?”


    Shortly after, the scene changed. Cooper drove his car to a mansion. Erica came out with a child, who


    ran up to Cooper and greeted sweetly, “Daddy!”


    Although the video was just a few seconds, the contents were shocking, and half of the people present


    were stunned.


    Genevieve lifted her dress and walked up the stage one step at a time. She stood in front of the


    microphone and said, “I believe everyone has seen the video on the projector screen. That‘s right.


    Cooper is the adoptive son of the Rachford family and the man I loved for over ten years. Not only did


    he hook up with my best friend a long time ago, but he also framed me for cheating and forced me to


    divorce him without getting any property.”


    When Cooper came to his senses, he immediately ordered people to turn off the projector. Although he


    still had a friendly smile on his face, his eyes were cold.


    Genevieve was left with nothing after the divorce. How did she have the capability to get


    this video? Could it be…


    Cooper found Armand in the crowd, and he noticed that Armand was talking to another businessman


    beside him with an indifferent expression as if he was not the slightest interested in Genevieve and the


    current matter.


    Soon, Cooper thought he had overthinked. Someone like Armand would never be interested in


    Genevieve.


    “What should we do now, Coop?” Genevieve‘s sudden retaliation made Erica panic. “How did she know


    about these things?”


    Cooper threw a nce at her, and Erica swallowed all the words she was going to say.


    “Genevieve, are you trying to use these two edited clips to get back at me?” Cooper raised his voice for


    all the guests to hear what he was saying “You imed that I was involved in the death of your parents


    and had set you up so that we could get a divorce and you were left with nothing. Where are the


    proofs? We lived under the same roof for twenty years, and I know your personality very well. You‘re


    wilful and stubborn. Now, you‘re just trying to tarnish my reputation and get back at me because we


    divorced.”


    Soon, some guests began whispering among themselves. “I heard when Cenevieve went abroad for a


    business trip, she went to a bar to hire a male model to drink with her.”


    “I don‘t think she can deal with businesses with that brain of hers. She must have gone abroad to enjoy


    herself.”


    “That‘s true.”


    People felt that Cooper‘s words were more convincing, as there were videos of Genevieve meeting


    with a man in a hotel and another video of her hiring a male model in a bar when she was abroad.


    Everyone felt that the video Genevieve had broadcasted was fabricated and that she had done so to


    get back at Cooper because of the divorce.


    In fact, Genevieve knew that Cooper would exin himself, and the guests would not believe her.


    A faint smile crept over her red lips. “I have already uploaded the video online. I believe an expert will


    be able to tell whether it has been edited or not. Cooper, I have already told you. I will make you pay for


    everything you have done to the Rachford family.”


    Genevieve red at Cooper, who was standing below the stage. Her gaze was firm and cold. “There is


    plenty of time.”
