Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 388: Settling Scores with Genevieve

Genevieve had almost been killed by Aurora yesterday; she spent the night in the hospital before returning home. She initially thought her excruciating pain was due to dislocation, but fortunately, it was only from a fall. Covered in medicinal patches, Genevieve struggled to sleep throughout the night, and neither Ivy nor Zachary went to the company afterward.

After yesterday's incident, they realized more than ever that Magnus would never accept them again; returning to the company would only lead to further exploitation.

"Mom, what path should we take from here?"

Ivy sighed as she sat by Genevieve's bed. Now without the support of the Montgomery family and without jobs, Ivy saw her future as bleak.

"Don't worry, I'll figure something out. At least we still have a place to live. Let me rest and heal first," Genevieve reassured, feeling utterly exhausted both physically and mentally. She just wanted a good rest.

"Okay, mom, get some sleep. I won't disturb you anymore," Ivy said as she covered her mother with a blanket and left the room.

She had just reached the living room when she heard a knock at the door. Without thinking, she opened it and asked, "Who is it?"

"You bastards, hiding out here!"

Kimberly stormed in with several bodyguards dressed in black. Unlike Tina, Kimberly cared little for propriety; she was mainly concerned about the shame she had suffered. Not only had her husband had an affair with Genevieve, but there were also illegitimate children involved! Now, with the Black family's reputation in tatters, she was in the process of divorcing Paul.

"Aunt Kimberly, what... how did you come here?"

Ivy weakly called out, knowing full well the ferocity of this woman. Ironically, the more formidable the wife, the more likely their husbands stray, and Paul was a prime example.

"Should I let you bastards continue living in my apartment? Where is that slut Genevieve?"

Kimberly charged in.
