Chapter 108

Genevieve rarely had menstrual cramps during her period but would generally feel fatigued, so sheslept until noon the next day. The housekeepers of the Faulkner residence were informed immediatelyat night, so none of them disturbed her. However, Harriet was worried that Genevieve might not haveany clothes to change into, so she had someone purchase some at a counter in a mall. The dozens ofsets of clothes were then sent to Genevieve’s room without her knowledge. Not only were the clothesall from luxury brands, but there was also jewelry that could go with them. Although the Rachford familyhad crumbled, Genevieve’s quality of life hadn’t deteriorated at all after she got together with Armand.Soon, she was able to pick out a suitable set of clothing for herself. The moment she opened the doorand went out, she saw Marilyn coming out of her room as well. Marilyn did not seem to have slept well,for she wasn’t looking good and had bags under her eyes. Genevieve had been bleeding a lot duringher period, so her face was a bit pale, but she was in good spirits. When she saw Marilyn, she greetedthe latter politely, “Good morning, Marilyn.” “It’s already late in the morning.” Marilyn glanced atGenevieve before asking in a gentle tone, “Do you usually wake up this late too when staying withArmand?” Genevieve smiled. “I would wake up on time while at home, but I was… too tired last night.”Upon hearing that, Marilyn sulked as her eyes darkened. She had heard from the housekeepers thatHarriet had instructed them not to wake Genevieve up in the morning and to let her sleep for as long asshe wished to. Marilyn swept a casual glance at Genevieve’s face, only to notice the faint hickeys onher neck. Quickly, she understood the reason Genevieve slept in and looked slightly exhausted. Herface paled instantly as she gritted her teeth. “You… Last night, you two…” Genevieve pressed herhand on her neck when she noticed Marilyn staring at it, swiftly recalling that Armand had bit her lastnight. “My apologies for letting you see this.” Genevieve pulled her lips into a thin line before adding infrustration, “I told my husband that he should show some restraint when we’re not at home, but hedidn’t listen to me.” She felt delightful upon noticing that Marilyn’s body swayed, her face paling evenmore. I, too, know a thing or two about making people feel disgusted. When Genevieve raised herhand, Marilyn noticed a lovely bracelet on her wrist. She also realized immediately that it was Harriet’sfavorite bracelet. According to professional appraisers, it would at least cost thirty million. AlthoughHarriet had gifted Marilyn a bracelet too after the latter got pregnant, it wasn’t as exquisite as the one

given to Genevieve. Just going by that, it was apparent that Harriet was biased toward Genevieve.Marilyn clenched her fists as she suppressed feelings of envy that arose within her, looking atGenevieve calmly. “You won’t be able to hold onto a man like him, Genevieve.” Without warning,Genevieve raised her right hand to show off her wedding ring. “Why would you say that when I’malready wearing a wedding ring?” It came as another huge blow to Marilyn’s ego. Supporting herselfagainst the wall to steady her swaying body, she snarked, “So what if you have a wedding ring? It wasOld Mrs. Faulkner who had the rings sent to you both. Armand only put it on because he had alwaysbeen obedient to his grandmother! Why do you think he even married you? It was because she forcedhim to do so! He would never have his eyes on a woman like you!” Her tone was menacing as sheglowered at Genevieve. “So who do you suppose he would set his sights on? You?” Genevieve threwthe ball back at her. “Of course!” Marilyn had a gentle look on her face as she claimed in arrogance,“I’ve known Armand for more than ten years. He only adores and has eyes for me. On the contrary, Youonly married him for his money.” She looked at Genevieve in disdain. “Indeed.” Genevieve noddedsmilingly. “I’ve married him for the money, so I don’t care if he loves me or not. Even if he was forcedinto this marriage by Old Mrs. Faulkner, it’s got nothing to do with me. He can always file for a divorce,or I’ll just continue living as his wife.” Marilyn bit on her bottom lip harshly. “Genevieve, don’t you thinkyou’re lowly?” “I got together with him with my own abilities. He wasn’t married, so I never was a thirdwheel. Why should I think so lowly of myself when I earned all this with my own two hands?”Genevieve was still smiling gladly.novelbin
