    Chapter 54 A Familiar Face


    The woman beside her seemed to be her housekeeper as she was helping her carry her bag.


    The elevator had already arrived. Genevieve initially nned to go downstairs earlier to buy some food


    but deliberately slowed down her pace upon seeing the pregnantdy.


    After entering the elevator, she held the open door button for the woman and her housekeeper.


    Soon, the woman entered the elevator with her housekeeper, then lifted her head to smile at


    Genevieve. “Thank you.”


    When she got a closer look at thetter, her eyes opened wide as though she was in shock.


    Genevieve was stunned for a moment but quickly recognized the woman and said, “Ms. Wood?” Her


    voice carried a touch of hesitation and surprise.


    “Genevieve Rachford, I remember you.” Marilyn Wood’s eyes flickered slightly as her gaze swept


    across Genevieve’s wless face.


    Despite knowing that she was as pretty as thetter, the difference in their age still caused envy to well


    up in her heart.


    She’s young and pretty… How can men not fall for her?


    “Ms. Wood, you’re so famous in the music sphere and have so many students under your tutge,”


    Genevieve said, her lips curving into a smile. “I never expected you to remember me as I only attended


    three of your sses.”


    Marilyn stood beside her after entering the elevator. “Out of all of my students in the same batch, only


    you have the best pitch. That’s why you left a deep impression on me,” she responded.


    Hearing thepliment from her former teacher, Genevieve beamed with delight. “Really?”


    The elevator slowly moved downward.


    Suddenly, Genevieve nced at Marilyn’s baby bump and voiced, “Ms. Wood, I didn’t know you were


    married. Are you residing in Jadeborough now?”


    Thetter was wearing a V-neck dress that exposed her skin slightly. As Genevieve retracted her gaze,


    she saw a pendant near her corbone.


    It was from Tiffany’s “Perfect Lover” collection.


    Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    She remembered that the ne was not only a limited edition but also a collector’s edition. Even for


    the top VIPs at Tiffany’s, it was hard toe by.


    Yet, she managed to bump into two people who both owned the same ne in session.


    Genevieve’s words seemed to have hit a nerve in Marilyn. Emotions raged within thetter’s eyes as


    she raised her hands to touch her baby bump.


    Using all her might, she suppressed her emotions and replied with a smile, “Yes, I’ve been staying in


    Jadeborough for quite a while. I knew what happened to your family too.”


    Hearing that, Genevieve lowered her eyes and pursed her lips.


    Marilyn turned and looked at her with a gentle expression. “Genevieve, it must be tough for you to live


    in Jadeborough without your family. Out of all of my students, you’re the most talented one. I can help


    you enroll in Hillview Music Academy. People there can make you a rising star in the music sphere.”


    When Genevieve offered no response, she continued, “You don’t have to worry. I can pay for all of your


    expenses.”


    “Ms. Wood, thank you for your kindness. However, I would like to stay here.” Genevieve was not


    interested in pursuing music. What she wanted to do at the moment was avenge her parents.


    Although her marriage to Armand happened because of their coboration, they were legally married.


    Therefore, he was considered her family.


    While Marilyn’s smile faltered slightly, her tone remained gentle. “Are you staying here to settle some


    affairs? I can help you.”


    Her repeated gestures of goodwill weirded out Genevieve.


    Ms. Wood has many students. I’ve only attended a few of her sses, and I’m not particrly


    exceptional. It’s very weird that she still remembers me after years and even wants to help me…


    Coincidentally, the elevator arrived at the first floor.


    Patrick was waiting outside the elevator with a food jar in his hand. As soon as the elevator doors


    opened, he spotted Genevieve first and asked, “Genev, what are you doing here?”


    “To buy some candies,” she replied as she walked out of the elevator. “How about you? Why are you


    here so early?”


    “Steven’s worried that you might be bored by yourself, so he asked me to send the food over to you as


    soon as Maria made dinner.” Raising his eyebrows, he added, “I can leave if you don’t want my


    Genevieve smiled slightly. “I don’t mind if you do. But do you dare to leave?”


    Patrick was rendered speechless.


    She then turned to look at Marilyn, who was walking out of the elevator, and offered courteously, “Ms.


    Wood, I’ll be making a move first. How about I treat you to a meal some other time?”


    “Yes, sure.” Marilyn nodded with a gentle smile.


    Only then did Patrick realize that Genevieve knew the two women who stepped out of the elevator after


    her. This woman in a dress is called Ms. Wood? She has a bump on her belly and is very beautiful.


    While following Genevieve to the vending machine, he gave two backward nces.


    “I think I’ve met Ms. Wood somewhere before…” he muttered. “Is she your high school teacher?”


    “No.” Genevieve shook her head. “I used to study in Dartan. Coincidentally, she was doing a tour there,


    so I attended a few of her violin sses. Ms. Wood is a famous and talented figure in the music sphere,


    so she’s often featured in magazines. It’s no surprise if you’ve seen her somewhere before.”


    Patrick felt that he had seen Marilyn somewhere before in real life, not in magazines.


    s, he could not put his finger on it, despite his efforts in racking his brain.


    Nevertheless, he did not bother about it for long, asking cheekily, “Wow, I thought you knew nothing! I


    never thought that you could y the violin. Why don’t you give me a performance?”
