Chapter 10

Quincey’s face turned sour when she saw Genevieve. “How dare you still show up? I called you so many times before but you never answered. I thought you really had the guts to leave our family! You’ve caused us so much trouble and Anthony is attacked because of you! How dare you still show your face?”

As soon as her words fell, everyone present dared not say a word and observed quietly, as if waiting for a good show.

Genevieve pursed her lips and chuckled. “Grandma Margaret asked me to come. I’ll leave after visiting her.”

After that, she went straight upstairs to Margaret’s room.

Quincey stood up in anger when she was ignored. She was used to losing her temperat Genevieve in public, so she didn’t think much about it.

“Stop it right there! You me properly! How impolite. As I said, marriages should be between people well–matched in status. How unlucky the Hoffman family is to have a daughter–in–law like you!” she yelled.

Genevieve turned her head to look at Quincey with a cold expression right in front of everyone. She didn’t apologize timidly, which was uncharacteristic of her.

Instead, she only looked at Quincey calmly and smiled. “I’m the one who should feel unlucky!”

Quincey’s expression changed. She was clearly surprised by the fact that Genevieve, who was usually subservient and gentle, would dare to speak to her like that. “You…”

“Your family even accepts an illegitimate child. I suppose someone with an even less reputable background like Rosalie will also be welcomed into the family in the future. Can’t say that’s well–matched in status, can you?” Genevieve asked.

It was widely known that Rosalie’s mother was a hostess in a karaoke bar, and she had given birth to Rosalie secretly after having an affair with a wealthy businessman.

However, before her mother could approach the wealthy man’s family after Rosalie was

Flustered and exasperated, her mother wailed and created a scene in front of the man’s house, begging the man’s wife to support her and her daughter.

That scandal had caused such an uproar that it was known by all, so it would be easy if one wanted to know about it.

That was why Quincey was so against the idea of Rosalie and Anthony being together in the first place.

Rosalie’s background was simply terrible.

Quincey’s expression turned extremely unpleasant when she heard that.
