The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 104

The table for two was empty. Elias was gone.

A sense of unease crept over Genevieve. Before she could speak, she heard Hawk say, "I'm sorry, Miss Vale, but Mr. Shawn was called away on urgent business."

Genevieve's smile was stiff. "That's impossible, Assistant Hawk. You must be joking…"

It was her birthday. Elias had never missed it before, no matter how busy he was. He would never just leave her here alone.

"Miss Vale." Hawk's gaze was flat and emotionless, cutting her off.

Meeting his eyes, the smile on Genevieve's face froze completely.

"Mr. Shawn asked me to wish you a happy birthday on his behalf. This is his gift to you. Also…" Hawk handed her a shopping bag. "Mr. Shawn said not to worry about the news online. He's already had the photos taken down."

Genevieve's heart sank. She immediately pulled out her phone and clicked on the link from earlier.

A pop-up appeared instantly—

[We're sorry, this content has been deleted.]

How could this be…

Hawk left after delivering his message. Genevieve sat at the table, staring at the limited-edition handbag. Her hands balled into fists, nails biting into her palms.

A waiter approached. "Miss Vale, shall I bring out the cake now—"

"Get out!"

Bang!

Genevieve yanked the handbag from its bag and hurled it to the floor. Her eyes were bloodshot as she screamed, "All of you, get out!"

The waiter's face paled, and he turned and fled as if his life depended on it.

"Why! Why!" Genevieve's chest heaved as she stared at the mess on the floor.

She had finally waited for him to divorce Victoria. Why was he still avoiding her?

He had never cared about those trending photos before, never stopped them. Why was he in such a hurry to have them removed this time?

Could he have actually fallen in love with that bitch Victoria?

Was he afraid the photos would give Victoria the wrong idea?

No, she would not allow it!

Elias was hers, and hers alone. *Victoria, don't you dare think you can steal the title of Mrs. Shawn from me again!*
