Chapter 19
Genevieve and Martha were both stunned.
Arthur’s
narrowed even more, keeping the motion of turning back.
What was she shouting?
Mom!
Who are you calling?
Genevieve, right?
Penelope instantly remembered what Genevieve had said.
The Pendelton family couldn’t expose their identity no matter what.
The next second, Penelope’s eyes instantly welled up with tears, she raised her little head and cried out, “Mommy, mommy, I want mommy, I want
mommy…”
When kids of this age are in danger, they cry out for their mom instinctively
Even adults scream for their mom when they’re scared.
Penelope cleverly took advantage of this
Anthur strode over, Genevieve had just snapped out of that daze, about to check on Penelope, when her arm was grabbed forcefully. Arthur saw the red mark on Genevieve’s hand, his expression darkened instantly, his eyes coldly fixed on Martha.
Martha looked scared, her face pale, shoulders raised, and asked in a panic, Genevieve, are you okay?”
Genevieve’s hands were originally fair, but now they got scalded by hot water, turning bright red
Arthur didn’t hesitate and dragged Genevieve to the bathroom.
“Paula, take Penny to the bathroom.”
Paula immediately came over and carried Penelope to the bathroom. The hot water splashed onto Penelope’s legs, and Paula could feel the pain just by looking at it
Martha was still standing there, for a moment she forgot to move.
Arthur just gave me that look…
Was he feeling sorry for Genevieve and, blaming her?
Anthur grabbed Genevieve’s hand and quickly turned on the tap to splash cold water on her.
The cold water shocked Genevieve’s hot skin, and she shivered all over.
Arthur felt a slight tremble in her, staring at her hand, squinting his eyes, not sure what she was thinking
Genevieve bit her lip, the cold water relieved the pain, but it couldn’t relieve the tension in her heart
Genevieve’s heart had never beaten so fast before
Penelope shouted, Mommy!
Although Penelope quickly realized and cleverly used the fact that children cry out for their mothers when they are in danger, she managed to deceive us
Genevieve couldn’t be sure if this could fool Arthur.
Arthur kept holding Genevieve’s arm, with only the sound of rushing water in his ears, watching the unfading redness. Arthur felt inexplicably angry.
After a while, Genevieve felt the pain was not as bad. She rubbed her arm and said, I’m better now.”
Anhur turned off the water and looked back at Genevieve,” Are you a dumb pig? Why would you touch such hot water?
Genevieve looked at Arthur’s black face, wondering why he was so mad, as if she had burned him or something.
Genevieve shook her hand and muttered softly, “It’s not like it hurts you, so why bother?”
“What did you say?*
Genevieve looked up and saw Arthur’s handsome dark face,” said I knew the water was hot. Children’s skin is delicate. If she got scalded, is would be worse than me. I saw it and couldn’t let her get hurt.”

Genevieve’s explanation makes sense. Someone with a kind heart would try to stop what just happened.
Arthur squinted his eyes, looked at the woman in front of him, and thoughs of Penelope’s words, “Mommy.”
That “mommy” can be a child’s instinctive call for their mother when in danger, or it can be a forgotten disguise when facing danger and calling out the true relationship.
If that’s the case, then Genevieve is Penelope’s mother. Penelope appeared at the auction house, painting his car, and then appeared at the hotel suspected of being a hacker, I all seems to make sense now.
Anthur pursed his thin lips, his gaze on the woman tightened. He stared at her for a while without saying a word, but his heart was already in turmoil.
If Penelope really was Genevieve’s child.
So that’s his kid.
Of course, these are just speculations. Without evidence, Arther didn’t dare to give himself too much hope.
The most direct way to confirm is through a paternity test!
Genevieve’s eyelashes flumered slightly as she gazed into Arthur’s dark, deep eyes, which seemed to be clouded with mist, making it hard for her to see what he was thinking
“Arthur, is Genevieve okay?” Martha’s worried voice rang out from outside.
At that moment, the sound fell into Genevieve’s ears, fake and despicable,
Genevieve just saw it clearly, Martha seemed to accidentally bump into the kettle, but in fact her actions were deliberate, she was intentionally going towards Penelope
Genevieve clenched the hand hanging by her side, opened the door and stared at Martha
Martha timidly looked at her, her teary eyes full of apologies. Im sorry, it’s all my fault, I accidentally bumped into the kettle, Genevieve, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?
“Accidentally?”
Genevieve’s clear eyes gazed quietly at Martha.
Martha dodged twice, looked back at Arthur coming out, her eyelashes fluttering, Arthur, I really didn’t mean to
Martha lowered her head in self–blame, looking like she was about to cry.
Arthur didn’t notice what was happening at the time, he just saw Genevieve rush over without hesitation to protect Penelope
At the moment, he squinted his eyes and looked at Martha.
Genevieve stepped forward, grabbed Martha’s hand, and said,“Martha, you really didn’t do it on purpose? It was just a coincidence that you happened to bump into the kettle, causing it to spill on the child. It was freshly boiled water. Have you thought about the consequences of splashing it on her, such a young childr
Martha knew the consequences, of course.
She just knew, that’s why he did it.
She was just being nasty and wanted to harm Penelope, just because Penelope had just spoken up for Genevieve. She held a grudge and wanted to make Penelope suffer.
Such a small child could even do it.
Genevieve’s eyes were full of anger.
Martha naturally wouldn’t admit it.
She kept shaking her head, looking at Genevieve like Snow White looking at the evil old witch.
“Are you saying I did it on purpose? I didn’t! I really didn’t, it was just an accident, I had no grudge against that child, why would I harm her.”
“Really? Genevieve looked up, there’s surveillance in the Pendelton’s mansion living room, the pointed at the surveillance, “So, are you have enough to come with me to check the surveillance?”
