My Husband Is A Gary Stu novel Chapter 719

Chapter 719

Lilian's dead gaze surveyed Genevieve as she spilled everything forth. “I secretly sent someone after Jack when I was informed he had come to Chanaea. After learning of your existence, I had you investigated as well. I also financed Wood Group of Xedells handsomely during their bankruptcy upon finding out that you have a grudge against them.

“However, Xavier is nothing compared to Jack. He is not businessman material at all, and he was easily tricked by your brother and Armand. I knew that you have a special place in Jack's heart. So, if you were to die, he would undoubtedly live a life of misery just like I have. Despite doing my best to have you killed, I never seem to succeed. Besides Jack's bodyguards, there were others protecting you in the dark.”

Her words stirred something in the recesses of Genevieve's mind. “Did you make a move against me in Xedells?”

“That's right.” A cold smile spread across Lilian's lips. “I remember his name was Yorick, and he's Johanna's father. Being a gambler, he spent his days at various casinos in Xedells and racked up a hefty debt. I had people inform him of your arrival at Xedells and he did not even hesitate to sell you to his debtors. Isn't that clever of him? I also thought you'd be dead after being cast out into the wilderness. Imagine my surprise when your ex-husband found you so quickly.”

Genevieve vaguely recalled the time when she had been left in the wintry wasteland by the debtors and her phone call to Armand. Though he tried to keep her on the line, she had fainted from the cold and only remembered waking up in the hospital.

Was Armand the one who found me?

Genevieve's eyelashes quivered as she glared at Lilian. “Long ago, I went to the home of Mr. Wasco of Resonance Corporation to teach his daughter the violin. Were the rumors of me and him spread by you?”

Lilian's tone remained flat. “No, but I did bribe his housekeeper.

“I knew that Mr. Wasco's wife was ill because of her daughter, and lived in constant fear that Mr. Wasco was involved with other women. You are beautiful, young, and got along well with the girl. Imagine her anxiety when she saw the photographs and thought that you were going to steal her husband and her child away from her. Her pinning you at the edge of the cliff was your closest brush with death thus far. Even if she decided to let you go, I still had people ready to strike from the shadows. However, Genevieve, you were extremely lucky for successfully evading death once again.”
