My Husband Is A Gary Stu novel Chapter 17

Erica was currently chatting with several rich ladies, and she was making fun of Genevieve’s downfall. The sharp-eyed Erica immediately noticed Genevieve when the latter 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 the latter over. “You slapped 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 declared firmly and shook the woman’s hand off. The current Genevieve was arrogant and confident compared to her pathetic state a moment ago. Erica did not understand how Genevieve regained her confidence after coming back from the restroom. Then, she said indignantly, “Genevieve, we’re friends. You’ve done something improper, yet you want to slander me?” Armand had also stated that Genevieve was just his female companion. “I’m slandering 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. The latter 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 play 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 playing 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 glance 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 claimed 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 Genevieve 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 explain 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 glared at Cooper, who was standing below the stage. Her gaze was firm and cold. “There is plenty of time.”
