Submitting To My Billionaire Ex-Wife by Allison Mild

Chapter 124

Andrea’s demeanor had shifted from her usual sweet compliance to a touch of defiance. A challenging glint played in her eyes as she gave Genevieve the once–over.

Genevieve glanced at her and, without a word, attempted to walk past. But Andrea stepped forward to block her path, a cold edge to her brows. “Ms. Lawrence, you are not welcome here. Make yourself scarce before anyone notices.”

Genevieve let out a light chuckle, her eyes leisurely sweeping over Andrea, her voice loaded with implication. “I wasn’t invited by you, and you certainly don’t have the right to send me away.”

The lights poured down upon them, casting a glow on Genevieve’s radiant skin. She was breathtakingly elegant, a beauty that couldn’t be concealed.

Andrea’s smile faded as she leaned in and whispered, “Genevieve, whatever you did to my family, I’ll make sure you taste the same.”

“We’ll see about that.” Genevieve smiled dismissively, considering Andrea beneath her notice. Spoiled heiresses with more ego than ability were a dime a dozen in these circles.

True socialites who stood their ground had more than just their family’s backing; they needed their own cunning and skills.

Just as she was lifting her dress to step down, she saw a dashing man in a suit approach her. “Ms. Lawrence, I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m Johnson Lewis from TuringTech Innovations.

Genevieve was momentarily startled, then beamed. Mr. Lewis, nice to meet you!”

Genevieve had been looking for him for so long, and he finally showed up. However, considering Johnson was often spotted at gay bars, she guessed his preferences might not align with hers, but she always had a soft spot for LGBTs.

Johnson was nothing if not courteous, his gaze was gentle, not making Genevieve feel the least bit

uneasy.

But when it came to the topic of the acquisition, Johnson’s response was a bit hard to read.
