His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 362

Was Genevieve secretly trying to sabotage her?

No way.

Marina dismissed the thought immediately.

Genevieve and Melanie hadn’t fared well at FY, and they were hoping to land executive jobs at her own company. It made no sense for them to mess with her—besides, neither of them had the nerve.

So…

Marina glanced at Niamh, holding her breath.

It must have been Niamh who put the fake crown in the box from the very start!

Seeing the disbelief in Marina’s eyes, Niamh calmly twirled the moissanite crown on her fingertip.

Genevieve and Melanie’s attempts to cozy up to her had been so over-the-top, their methods clumsy and obvious.

It was an open secret at FY that the two of them were constantly getting chewed out by their team leader. Niamh had no doubt they were looking to strike out on their own or jump ship. But if they were planning to leave, their first choice certainly wouldn’t be to team up with her.

Objectively, joining Marina’s studio was the most sensible move.

Word had definitely gotten around that she was working on a crown for Queen Elizabeth and had borrowed FY’s workshop. Nothing stayed secret in their industry for long—everyone knew everyone.

Genevieve and Melanie needed her as a stepping stone to get into Marina’s studio.

Once Niamh figured out what they were up to, she made sure to keep her designs and finished pieces well hidden, out of their sight.

That left them with only one way to sabotage her—

Swap out her finished work.

So Niamh had put a fake crown in the box ahead of time, pretending to be extra careful with it.

She didn’t have much time when she went to fetch the cart, and Genevieve, being so nervous, probably wouldn’t have realized the crown inside wasn’t real.

And as expected, everything played out just as Niamh had anticipated.

“So this is the result of Ms. Thornton’s soul-searching? Fobbing off Her Majesty with a cheap children’s crown?”

“Shut up!”
