Submitting To My Billionaire Ex-Wife by Allison Mild ( Genevieve) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 

Before Genevieve could say anything, Selene couldn’t help but push her friend aside as she sneered at Aiden and the woman. 

This scandal has already made its rounds. Why are you still worried about people knowing it?” she asked. 

Cecilia Wood, who was beside Aiden, instantly shrank back in fear, looking somewhat embarrassed. as she pursed her lips and lowered her head. 

Without further ado, Aiden stood before her and scowled at Selene. 

“You’d better be more courteous, Selene!” 

Not wanting to back down, Selene gave a mirthless smile. 

“Ha. Is she Mrs. Campbell or your fiancée? Why should I be courteous? If I remember correctly, it was only a few days ago when your family told you to go on a blind date with me! Why didn’t you tell her that you won’t be marrying her? Oh… You’re only playing with her, huh? She won’t be able into the Campbell family even if she has your child. That’s because they only want to find a socialite for a marriage of convenience. A poor, destitute university student who can’t help the family with anything will undoubtedly be ridiculed…”

By then, Aiden’s face had turned extremely grim as he glared at Selene. 

“Have 

you had enough, Selene? I won’t marry you. Are you relieved now?” he said coldly. 

Upon hearing that, Selene raised her brows and smiled with satisfaction. 

“Okay. I’m very satisfied.” 

After breathing a long sigh of relief, Selene was about to leave when she looked at the downcast Cecilia and decided to give one last reminder out of the kindness of her heart. 

“I can’t believe you’ve been deceived by an old man even before entering society. Did you could transcend your social class and fulfill all your dreams? Think about it. If he could marry you, he wouldn’t have gone on a blind date with socialites for no reason…”

The next second, Selene saw Aiden’s gaze darken dangerously, and it was clear he was about to explode in anger. 

Instead of continuing to add fuel to the fire, Selene promptly turned around and left with Genevieve. 

Moments later, the doctor ushered Selene into the emergency room. Thankfully, she had arrived at the hospital in time with only/mild allergic reactions, and the rashes on her body would disappear within two hours of taking the medicine.

Chapter 72 

Cenevieve accompanied her friend outside and bought herself a cup of coffee to sip on and stay awake. 

After waiting for the doctor to prescribe the medicine, Aiden finally walked out with Cecilia. 

With the way he held the latter in his arms, there was no doubt he was protective of her. 

Despite that, Cecilia winced when she saw the two women. 

Having recalled the previous conversation, Aiden quickly turned cold and grim. 

However, he didn’t want to continue arguing with Selene and merely stared at Genevieve. 

“Ms. Lawrence, since you’re divorced and have found your next target, you should keep your distance from Anthony. Otherwise, if word got out that you’re stringing him along while hanging out with other men in the bar, it’d be hard to explain yourself. People would think you’re two- timing him,” he commented, a hint of scorn in his voice. 

Enraged, Selene rolled up her sleeves for a fight, but Genevieve stopped her. 

With that, Genevieve lifted her gaze nonchalantly and chuckled at Aiden. The next second, she held up her phone and scrolled to the number she had blocked previously before calling it and putting it on speakerphone. 

Aiden’s expression instantly grew stiff with distress. 

Alas, Anthony answered the call at lightning speed, which meant it was too late for him to leave. 

“Genevieve, why are you calling me at this hour? Is there something important? Then again, it’s so nice of you to think of me…” Anthony exclaimed, his voice a mix of drowsiness and sheer joy. 

Mr. 

Genevieve stared at Aiden and interrupted the man on the other end of the call, “Your buddy, Aiden Campbell, has just warned me to stay away from you. Can you tell him if I’ve ever strung you along, Anthony? When did I cozy up to you and give you false hope? Please be sure to make things. clear to him. I don’t want the people around you to misunderstand our relationship. That won’t be good for either of us.” 

After saying that and watching the myriad of expressions on Aiden’s face, Genevieve suddenly felt a smug sense of satisfaction. 

The man had thought she was a weakling, yet in the end, he was the one who wound up with a slap 

in the face. 

Feeling frustrated beyond belief, Aiden felt the corner of his mouth twitch, and his body stiffened. unconsciously. 

Anthony, on the other hand, was utterly silent on the phone, 

Even though he hadn’t said a word, one could still feel the piercing cold emanating from him.

Chapter 72 

Aiden couldn’t help but clench his teeth as complicated emotions flashed across his eyes. He realized that Anthony had been silent for quite a while, so deep down, his anxiety began to mount. 

After letting out a cough, he murmured, “Tony…” 

To make matters worse, Aiden remembered why Anthony had alienated him and the Campbell family the previous time. 

It was all because of Genevieve. 

Despite that, he still had the gall to repeat his mistake by testing Anthony’s patience. No one in their right mind ever dared to provoke the latter, so there was no doubt Aiden’s actions would once again cost the Campbell family dearly. 

When Anthony finally spoke up, his voice was deep, hoarse, and emotionless. 

“Genevieve, I’m the one who has been trying to get close to you. Don’t believe what everyone else 

says.” 

Genevieve furrowed her brows. ‘Is that all he can muster up after such a long silence? I’m getting goosebumps from it!‘ she thought. 

Not knowing what else to say, she gritted her teeth and hastily hung up. 

When she looked at Aiden again, her eyes twinkled with amusement. 

“Did you hear that, Mr. Campbell? Who’s the one clinging to whom? Why don’t you persuade Anthony instead and get him to stop bothering me? I’d be most grateful for that.” 

Aiden’s face was sullen as he tried to catch his breath. However, just as he was about to say something, he suddenly received a call from Anthony. 

Left without a choice, he pursed his lips and walked to the other side to answer his phone. 

After a few seconds, the phone conversation that couldn’t have been longer than three sentences abruptly ended. 

No one else knew what Anthony had said, but there was no denying that Aiden was getting increasingly solemn.
