Chapter 1045
Eurydice said, “If you really liked them, you would have bid higher and got them in one fell swoop. Instead, you only
raised the increment each time Aunt Karolina did so. Isn't it obvious that you were snatching them from her?”
“I'm rich, not stupid,” retorted Genevieve. “If that painting is valued at three million, why would I spend ten million
to bid for it? If your Aunt Karolina really liked it, why didn't she bid ten million from the get-go? I'm not going against
any rules by making a bid here, so what are you accusing me of?”
After a brief pause, Genevieve smirked and said, “Ah, that's right. Speaking of snatching things, you seem to have
plenty of experience in that regard, Ms. Gaudette. Otherwise, such wild accusations would not emerge from your
mouth.”
Karolina's face darkened as she berated Genevieve, “What impertinence is this? When have the youth become so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdisrespectful?”
“Your daughter is young, with parents who raised her. Yet, she doesn't even have any basic human decency,”
sneered Genevieve with a casual flick of her hair. “Instead, she insists on behaving like an animal.”
Karolina pinned an icy glare on Genevieve. “Who do you think you're insulting?”
“I'm not insulting anyone. I'm merely stating facts,” replied Genevieve with a smirk. “A woman who inserts herself in
someone else's relationship is a b*tch. Everyone knows that b*tches are animals.”
Karolina was so enraged that she raised a hand to slap Genevieve on the face.
However, Genevieve was too quick for her. She swiftly grabbed hold of Karolina's hand, gripping it so hard that
Karolina's face contorted in pain. “If I'd said something wrong, use your words and refute me. Do you think you can
slap me just because you're related to the Gaudette family? As if you have the right to slap my face!”
“Since you can't refute me, it proves that my words have touched a nerve.” Genevieve felt that she had sullied her
hands by touching Karolina, so she quickly let go.
Before leaving, Genevieve glanced meaningfully at Eurydice and remarked, “You really do deserve to be relatives.”
After saying that, she walked away with Charlotte.
Karolina had not expected Genevieve to be so strong—the latter had bruised Karolina's wrist. With her face still
sullen, Karolina turned to Eurydice and asked, “Who is that woman?”
“A scion of Specter Corporation,” replied Eurydice. “Cooper is her brother.”
Karolina was well aware of all the domestic big names. With a sneer on her face, she retorted, “So what if she has
a brother who knows how to do business? How arrogant! She even dared to bully you!”
“Don't instigate anything with Specter Corporation,” warned Eurydice, who was well aware of her aunt's
temperament.
Eurydice then proceeded to explain, “Her brother is a known figure in the business world, but her maternal
grandfather, Old Mr. Zeigler, is a general. If anything happens to Specter Corporation, you will suffer losses as well.”
Eurydice would not meddle if anything happened to Karolina's business, but she did not want the Gaudette family to

After leaving the auction hall, Charlotte clapped a hand triumphantly on Genevieve's shoulder while giving the latter
a toothy grin. “It was so satisfying to see you talk back at those two just now! You've managed to p*ss off Eurydice's
aunt so much that she wanted to slap you. You have no idea how long I've dreamed of giving that b*tch a slap to
her face!”
Charlotte could not afford to anger the Gaudette family. Hence, all she could do was dream of this moment.
Tonight, Genevieve had taught that b*tch's mother a lesson on Charlotte's behalf. As such, all the anger she had
suppressed for all these years could finally be released.
“You're so cool, Genevieve!” Charlotte then lowered her head to kiss Genevieve on her cheek.
Using two fingers, Genevieve gently pushed Charlotte away from her face. “I didn't do it for you! I was already
upset with Eurydice! Since my man said to not be afraid, it emboldened me to act.”
Genevieve was aware of the Gaudette family's status in Jadeborough. Charlotte was afraid of them, and Genevieve
was no exception. Of course, she had no desire to ruin Specter Corporation with her actions.
Thankfully, she had a very capable man by her side.
Charlotte lay her head on Genevieve's shoulder and said enviously, “Mr. Faulkner is excellent in every way other
than his age, unlike my boyfriend, who is absolutely useless.”
