The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 286

The crisp sound of a slap echoed through the banquet hall.

Genevieve Vale’s head snapped to the side from the force of Victoria Sanger’s blow, a five-fingered welt instantly appearing on her cheek.

Her eyes widened. “Victoria, how dare you—”

Crack.

Another slap.

Victoria stared down at her coldly. “Are you awake now?”

Genevieve’s pupils constricted. When she finally processed what had happened, she dropped all pretense of composure and lunged at Victoria.

“Victoria, you bitch!”

She wasn't pretending anymore.

All her masks were torn away, revealing a hideous expression.

But Victoria caught her by the wrist, yanked her forward, and slapped her again. Then she dragged Genevieve to the edge of the stage and gave her a slight push.

Thud!

The stage wasn’t high and was covered by a carpet, but falling unexpectedly still sent a jolt of pain through her body, as if her bones had shattered.

Genevieve’s face turned pale with pain. The people below saw what happened, but no one dared to step forward and help her up.

The livestream was still running.

Victoria aimed the camera at Genevieve, then crouched at the edge of the stage, looking down at her from above. Her voice was cold and clear. “Genevieve, you were right. All these years, I wasn't helping you.”

Genevieve’s head shot up to look at her.

“I just felt sorry for you. I was giving you charity. You were a piece of trash who didn’t know how to be grateful, so eventually, I decided I was done.”

“You said we’re the same, so why is it that I have everything you don’t?” Victoria seemed like a goddess on high, noble and arrogant. “But how could we possibly be the same? You were abandoned at birth, a secret born in the gutter with nothing to your name. I, on the other hand, am the princess of the Sanger family, cherished and adored. I’m an heiress from the most powerful family in the Imperial Capital, something you can only dream of becoming. I was born with everything, and everyone I meet addresses me respectfully as Miss Sanger. What makes you think you can even compare yourself to me?”

“Someone like you could work your entire life and still never measure up to me.”
