Submitting To My Billionaire Ex-Wife by Allison Mild ( Genevieve) novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126 

Anthony’s move stunned everyone into silence, especially Andrea. Her face switched between red and pale, and she struggled to breathe steadily. It was like a slap right to her face, knocking both her pride and dignity to the floor. Hot with fury and embarrassment, she barely contained herself. 

The auctioneer caught the tense vibe and shot a knowing look to a server, who quickly apologized and excused themselves. The auctioneer, who had known Genevieve for quite a while, attempted to diffuse the situation with a joke. Well, it was yours and now it’s back with you. Seems like you and the Siren’s Tear are really meant to be.” 

Genevieve’s brows knit together, her face void of any excitement, her gaze toward the Siren’s Tear in her hand indifferent. She gave a halfsmile and pushed it back into Anthony’s hands. This is your possession now. Give it to your fiancée, consider it an engagement gift,she said coolly

If Genevieve really wanted it, she wouldn’t have forfeited the bid. She mused, I had intentionally driven the price up, aware that Andrea would fight for it, and knowing Anthony wouldn’t lose face by being outbid by a woman. And Anthony did exactly what I expected. But he had turned around and handed it to me. What is going through that jerk’s head

Anthony’s expression darkened. There was anger in his eyes and he said in an icy tone, What engagement? Who do you mean my fiancée? That’s nonsense. This was always meant for you.” 

He thrust the Siren’s Tear back into Genevieve’s hands, a clear edge of anger in his voice, but Genevieve wasn’t taking any of it

She curved her lips in a mocking smile as she thought, Everyone had seen them cut the cake together and Andrea herself had admitted it. Are they playing me for a fool?‘ 

Genevieve didn’t want to come off as jealous or confrontational, so she just smiled, peacefully handing the Siren’s Tear to Andrea. Ms. Thomson, congratulations. This is your engagement gift.” Her smile didn’t reach her eyes, which sparkled with a sharp, cool beauty

She laughed carelessly, ignoring Andrea’s visible shame and discomfort. To Genevieve, it no longer mattered. That which she didn’t want could be claimed by anyone else who desired it

What started as a coveted jewel had now become a proverbial hot potato. Was Genevieve deliberately making me uncomfortable?Andrea thought. She was livid, itching to lash out, but she bit down hard on her lower lip, tightly reigning in her emotions. She couldn’t embarrass herself in front of so many people

Genevieve’s lips twitched into a smirk; she had achieved her goal and didn’t want to stick around the lovebirds any longer. Hoisting her dress, she made her way upstairs. Each floor promised its own thrills, and she wasn’t just here to see Johnsonno harm in a little fun, right

Before anyone could even process the scene, Anthony marched over to Andrea, his face grim. His voice dropped into an uncontrollable chill. Engagement? When did I ever pop the question to you? Did you forget why you’re here tonight?” 

His eyes carried a glint of cool intimidation, causing Andrea to shudder slightly, a mix of dread and guilt in her stance. Mr. Hoffman, I didn’t say anything about the engagement. It may be that Ms. Lawrence misunderstood me. I will explain it to her later.” 

Chapter 126 

Anthony anger, his expression stormy. He was on the verge of saying something when the auctioneer, unable to hold back a chuckle. interjected, Before the auction started, I heard so many celebrities and ladies congratulating Ms. Thomson on her engagement to Mr. Hoffman. You didn’t deny it at that time. I thought it was true!He took a meaningful look at Anthony and said, Don’t you know, Mr. Hoffman? Then why did Ms. Thomson come here?” 

ll reeled from Genevieve’s words, barely containing

The second he spoke up, every socialite in the room perked their ears, their interest piqued. This was shaping up to be more enthralling than any reality TV drama they’d seen

Andrea’s heart skipped a beat, her complexion shifted subtly as she tried to respond. But Anthony, with a stern face and a furrowed brow, snatched the Siren’s Tear from her hand and turned on his heel, leaving her with his cutting parting shot, She’s just a regular guest, don’t overthink it.” 

His words rippled through the silence like a boulder dropped into a still lake, sending shockwaves through the onlookers. Everyone might have missed his last remark, but they all clearly understood Andrea was just a regular guest.” 

Andrea’s face drained of color, the emptiness in her palm echoing the hit she’d just taken, looking ready to crumble

As Anthony strode away, all the elite ladies hesitated to approach Andrea, they rather enjoyed the spectacle from a distance. Andrea had never really been part of their circle, riding the Hoffman family coattails was the only reason they tolerated her, and their hidden disdain was no secret

Anthony bought that jewelry for his exwife?” 

She really likes to deceive herself and others. I thought it was really an engagement party tonight, but Anthony denied it himself. Why is she still pretending 

The Hoffman family won’t be so insensible?“ 

Whispers and chatter trickled into Andrea’s ears, grinding her patience thinner with each word

The third floor was where the highrollers played. Some were dealing cards, others playing poker, a miniVegas right in the heart of the city, scaled down to a personal playground

Genevieve casually surveyed the area and settled down in a quieter spot, bored as she watched others gamble away. A stack of chips slid her way, and as she looked up, she saw Louis with his warm, inviting smile

Feel like playing?he offered gently 

Genevieve shook her head. No, I’m not interested.” 

Louis raised an eyebrow, all politeness. Hungry at all? Want something to eat?His thoughtfulness shone througha gentleman through and through

Genevieve patted her stomach and felt hungry. A bit, I guess. I’ll go grab a bite at the restaurant,” she said, standing up. Once she filled up, she’d go find Johnson to discuss business

Louis paused and said, Just now, I saw Anthony’s parents heading to the restaurant

Genevieve stopped dead in her tracks, her appetite vanishing. The last thing she wanted was to have the Hoffman family kill her mood even at dinner

Grinning, Louis offered, How about you stay here, and I’ll bring back some food for you?”
