Chapter 119 Disgusted

Initially, Genevieve couldn’t be bothered to check the gifts, but soon after, she came to the living room to open the gift boxes one by one.

Patrick watched beside her as she extracted handbags and limited edition dresses from the gift boxes.

She seemed to be overjoyed, for she really liked those items.

“Genev, where’s your dignity?” Patrick was frustrated at her behavior. “This is probably Armand trying to apologize to you, so he sent someone to send them over. Don’t you feel disgusted by these gifts?”

For these couple of days, Patrick had given a lot of effort to hacking into the surveillance cameras of the Faulkner family. It was then that he discovered the reason behind Genevieve’s injury.

Through the surveillance footage, he saw that when Genevieve went to the Faulkner residence, Harriet had shown a lot of affection toward her. She even served some dishes for Genevieve while they were dining.

He couldn’t see what was happening through the surveillance camera in the pantry, but he later saw that Harriet had slapped Armand and said those words. Thus, he was sure that Genevieve was not in the wrong.

Patrick’s guess was that the reason for the happening of the incident was Harriet’s biased love for Genevieve, which made Marilyn jealous. She knew she had Armand’s support, so she injured Genevieve in the pantry.

It had been like this since the beginning. Armand would always be the one to remedy the consequences after Marilyn had done something wrong.

“I’ll take all the gifts Mr. Faulkner sends to me, no matter how much it is. Why should I even feel disgusted?” Genevieve sounded calm when she spoke. She wasn’t the slightest bit angry.

Then, she opened yet another gift box and extracted a grey handbag from within. Her eyes brightened up at the sight of it.

“Do you know the brand of this bag?” Genevieve raised the bag for Patrick to see. “It’s called Hermayze.

It’s the number one brand in all luxury goods. I love this brand especially, not just because they have really nice handbags, but also because their prices are really high. There will be no losses even if I resell them.”

Then, she went on to say, “This bag I have here in my hand is called “Constance.” It’s the model that’s the most difficult one to obtain in the Hermayze series. Furthermore, this one is made of exotic leather.”

She was caressing the bag like it was her baby. “Your brother sure investigated my background through and through.”

Patrick was completely speechless.

He was unfamiliar with handbags, and he didn’t want to discuss that with her either.

“No. Genev, is your brain built different from other people?” Patrick couldn’t help but reprimand her.

“Someone else is robbing your husband away from you, but he just repays you with these items, and you’re okay with it?”

A smile appeared on her lips. “She can just go ahead. After all, Mr. Faulkner and I are just a fake married couple with a marriage certificate.”

Soon after, she placed that bag aside and went on to open the gift boxes.

Without even turning around, she told Patrick, “Oh, right. Please send Mr. Faulkner a message. Tell him to change all the clothes to jewelry. Those clothes cannot retain value. I can still resell the jewelry after I’m sick of wearing them.”

This time, Patrick truly didn’t know what to say.

Within this period of time, Maria had been taking care of her with the utmost attention. Every day, she would take time to apply medicine to Genevieve’s legs while ensuring the latter took her medication.

Soon enough, the blisters on her legs scabbed over, and the scabs fell off as well.

There were barely any burn marks left behind on her pair of fair and long legs. On the contrary, her skin seemed to have become even softer, just like a newborn baby’s.

Also, Armand didn’t come looking for her while she was resting at home.

Instead, Harriet had called her a couple of times.

She was extremely sorry for Genevieve’s injury that day at the Faulkner residence. When she talked to her, she sounded pained at the suffering Genevieve had to go through.

Genevieve really treated Harriet like her own grandmother. Also, she heard from Patrick that after Harriet went back, she slapped Armand for the first time because of her.

Now that she had given Genevieve another call, she realized that she wasn’t that angry anymore.

“Grandma, I’m fine. My legs have healed now.”

Genevieve didn’t want Harriet to blame herself over her own matter, so she sweet-talked her and successfully cheered the elder up before they ended the call.
