“Is that child yours? Or is he a product of Anthony’s infidelity?”

Recently, there had been rumors of Anthony having an illegitimate child, but Genevieve did r not believe them.

“My husband is very busy. We have no children of our own yet, and he certainly does not have an illegitimate child. Those are just rumors,” she answered. “We love each other very much, and I trust him.”
