Chapter 382

Chapter 382: Don't Go, Mom

Genevieve watched as the mixed-race man, dressed in gentlemanly attire yet acting so roughly, tenderly held Tina's hand.

"Are you alright? She didn't hurt you, did she?"

"I'm fine," Tina shook her head.

"And who are you!"

She slowly rose from the ground as John Walsh, with Tina in his embrace, coldly stared at her.

"I'm her husband. If you dare touch my wife again, I bet you won't be able to walk out of this room!"

Aurora was frightened by the chill emanating from him; her previously smiling eyes were now filled with a sinister look. If she had doubted before that he was just an actor hired by Tina, now she was completely convinced of his sincerity. He was just like Julian when he protected her, as if no one in the world could touch her without regretting their existence.

"Husband?"

Genevieve was stupefied, never having imagined such a turn of events. She had thought that Tina had come back to compete with her for Magnus.

Yet here stood a handsome man by Tina's side, in stature and demeanor no less than Magnus. This was the ultimate irony-that her perceived rival had never considered her a threat from the start.

"John, Tina, I'm sorry for the trouble," Aurora apologized.

"Mr. Montgomery, it seems you still have some family matters to sort out. I'd better not stay for dinner," Tina said as she picked up her bag. Her upbringing did not allow her to make a scene like Genevieve.

She hadn't done so ten years ago and it was even less likely now. This dinner was intended for Aurora, but it had been disrupted by Genevieve.
