Martha shook in fury. “How dare you, Genevieve? Aren’t you afraid that my son…”
“You want your daughter to die, right?” interrupted Genevieve as she pulled out a pill from her pocket.
“Genev, I’ll hold your phone for you.”
Johanna rushed forward and took the phone from Genevieve. She pointed the camera at Marilyn so it was more convenient for Genevieve to act.
Meanwhile, Timothy leaned against the door with his eyebrows raised and watched everything unfold.
Other than Steven, he thought that anyone else from the secretarial department would be scared to death if they saw Genevieve doing that.
However, not only was Johanna not surprised, but she also volunteered to help.
Hmm, this is interesting.
When Marilyn saw the pill in Genevieve’s hands, she tensed up. “I dare you to touch me!”
Not standing on ceremony, Genevieve pried Marilyn’s mouth apart.
When Martha saw that Genevieve was actually being serious, she screamed in panic, “I’m begging you now. Don’t touch my daughter! Genevieve, regardless of whether you’re after money or power, we can negotiate! Please let Marilyn go, okay? She’s pregnant with the Faulkner family’s child…”
“What’s that got to do with me?” asked Genevieve with a smile. “Since Armand isn’t actually from the Faulkner family, what’s there left for me to be wary about?”
Martha snapped in fury, “Aren’t you afraid that you’ll get bad karma if you harm a pregnant lady?”
Narrowing her eyes, Genevieve rebuked coldly, “Your daughter would suffer from bad karma first. I was pregnant once. Were it not for your daughter, I wouldn’t have had a miscarriage.”
Martha was at a loss for words to refute her.
“Mrs. Wood, let me ask you one last time. Do you want to save yourself or your daughter?” Genevieve squeezed Marilyn’s cheeks forcefully and put the pill merely an inch away from her mouth.
She could shove the pill into Marilyn’s mouth any time.
“No…” Marilyn shook her head violently, wanting to shake Genevieve’s hand away. However, it was futile.
When Martha saw how helpless her daughter was, tears streamed down her cheeks. “Will you only spare my daughter if I die?”
Genevieve smiled. “Of course.”
“Okay… Okay…” Martha looked at Marilyn before glaring at Genevieve viciously. “You better honor your promise. Or else, I’ll haunt you even after I die!”
Genevieve shot a look at the housekeeper at the side. She took out a pill from her pocket and shoved it into Martha’s mouth.
Closing her eyes, Martha swallowed it.
When Marilyn saw that scene, she felt like Genevieve had just plunged a dagger into her heart, causing it to ache terribly.
She struggled to break free with all her might. After Genevieve let go of her, she screamed at the video, “Mom, don’t swallow it! Spit it out! Genevieve won’t dare to do anything to you. She’s just toying with you! She wouldn’t dare to offend our family and the Faulkner family… She definitely wouldn’t dare to! Do you want to die? Take the pill out of my mom’s mouth!” Marilyn even roared at the housekeeper standing beside Martha.
“If anything bad happens to my mom, you’re dead! My brother will not let you off the hook!”
“Genevieve, tell them to let go of my Mom!” Marilyn turned around and yelled at Genevieve. “I know that Patrick killed my dad, so he has to die for his sin! How dare you touch my mom? Do you want to die too?”
“I know that you killed Old Mrs. Faulkner. Are you going to die for your sin too?” asked Genevieve.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Shrugging, Genevieve replied with a smile, “Since you didn’t kill Old Mrs. Faulkner, what does your father’s death have anything to do with Patrick?”
Marilyn was so furious that her lips trembled.
“Marilyn!” Martha called out from the video. “Don’t let Genevieve lead you by the nose! Don’t confess to anything that you didn’t do. She promised that she’ll spare you if I die! Otherwise, she’ll be punished by the heavens.”
“Mom…” Tears welled up in Marilyn’s eyes.
Blood dribbled down the corners of Martha’s mouth as the rosiness in her cheeks faded. “Marilyn, I won’t be able to keep you company anymore. You and your brother must take care of yourselves…”
When Marilyn saw the blood on Martha’s lips, she almost had a breakdown.
Now, Marilyn believed that Genevieve was not joking at all—she actually did it.
