Chapter 43\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGenevieve!\u201d Zachary ran into the room and jabbed a finger at Genevieve as he shouted, \u201cIt\u2019s all your fault! You had this planned all along!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou already have a fling with that bastard Tristan! You two are going after our family fortune! That\u2019s why you laid out this plan to force me to divorce you and force Grandpa to give in!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice rang out loudly amidst the quiet corridor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve turned around slowly and looked at him as if he were nothing more than a clown.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that very moment, Tristan\u2019s voice rang out from the other end of the corridor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lambert.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He leaned against the wall with his hands stuck in his pockets, looking extremely at ease.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cInstead of making baseless guesses here, maybe you should go back and deal with your own problems and debts.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTristan, you\u2019re nothing but an illegitimate bastard!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
All of Zachary\u2019s humiliation and frustration had finally found an outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He swung his fist directly toward Tristan\u2019s face. However, his fist was stopped by an even stronger grip in midair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan clutched Zachary\u2019s fist tightly. \u201cA mad dog will bite whoever it sees.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He smirked. \u201cYou know, I don\u2019t mind ripping out all of its teeth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as Zachary was about to swing with his other fist, a slim figure swiftly stood in between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve didn\u2019t even look at them. She simply reached out a hand and grabbed their arms in one clean motion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary and Tristan felt a numbing current run through their arms, forcing them to let go of one another.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They both jolted and stared at Genevieve in shock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had no idea that she could do that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She calmly said, \u201cIf you want to fight, go outside. If you fight here, you\u2019ll just ruin Grandpa\u2019s mood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her words made both men fall silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary\u2019s rage was instantly put out by the sudden intervention, but his chest was heavy with unspoken complaints.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why? Why did he have to be humiliated by the likes of Genevieve and Tristan?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cZachary! Zachary!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a sharp, panicked female voice yelled out from the staircase.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sylvia hurried in and rushed toward Zachary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re in trouble! Zachary, you have to help your uncle!\u201d Sylvia grabbed his arm and said in a trembling voice, \u201cThe foreign company we\u2019re collaborating with suddenly ganged up against us and said we went against our contract. They want us to pay a crazy amount for breaching our contract! The Jenkins family is done for!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary had already been forced to hold back his anger, so he was even more frustrated by Sylvia\u2019s sudden outburst. \u201cMom, I don\u2019t have the time to care about all that!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d Sylvia said. She turned toward Genevieve, and her gaze went from panicked to commanding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cGenevieve, I know who you are. You\u2019re that internationally renowned perfumer, right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before Genevieve could reply, she continued, \u201cYou have to help the Jenkins family. You know the boss of that company, don\u2019t you? Talk to them and ask them to keep working with us. If you speak up for us, we\u2019ll be saved!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She bossed Genevieve around as if the latter were still her daughter\u2013in\u2013law. She seemed to have forgotten exactly what was going on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve turned around slowly and looked directly at Sylvia. Slowly, she said, \u201cThe Jenkins family isn\u2019t worth my time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sylvia couldn\u2019t believe what she had just heard. \u201cWhat did you just say? Genevieve, don\u2019t make me do this the hard way. You\u2019re Zachary\u2019s wife, which makes you my daughter\u2013in\u2013law! You have to help us!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that so?\u201d Genevieve raised an eyebrow. \u201cZachary, see you at the courthouse the day after tomorrow at 9:00 am. Bring your documents. Don\u2019t be late.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
