Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 706

Charlotte was stunned. This was clearly a twist she hadn't anticipated.

The next second, a hand covered her eyes. A man's low voice sounded in her ear. "What are you looking at? Afraid of getting pinkeye?"

Faced with such a scene at the engagement banquet, before the Pembrokes could react, Jensen roared at the staff, "What's going on here, you——"

"Ah!" Genevieve's piercing scream cut through the entire hall. She covered her ears with both hands, all color draining from her face.

Ilse stood frozen. Even though the woman in the video wasn't shown clearly, how could she not recognize her?

That was her daughter!

Genevieve's reaction made Jensen realize instantly. He whipped his head around to look at Jonathan standing next to Genevieve. Jonathan neither stepped forward to comfort her nor acknowledged Genevieve's breakdown. He just stood by coldly, watching her suffer this sudden shock.

"The woman's voice in that video sounds a bit like Miss Howard, doesn't it?"

"No way, is it really that wild?"

"With such a scandal, the Howards are going to be a laughingstock now..."

Jensen swayed. Someone beside him quickly steadied him. Before he could recover, Victor ordered the screen turned off. Leaning on his cane, he slowly walked out from his seat. "Chairman Howard, I came to this engagement banquet today full of hope that our two families would become in-laws. And this is how the Howards choose to humiliate the Pembrokes?"

"No..." Jensen snapped back to reality. "Elder Pembroke, this must be some misunderstanding. That woman in the video is absolutely not my daughter Genevieve! Someone must be trying to frame my daughter!"

Ilse, even knowing the truth, had to deny it to save her daughter's reputation. She forced her weak legs to carry her to Jensen's side, clutching his arm as she explained to Victor. "Elder Pembroke, please be reasonable. How could my Genevieve do something so immoral? Someone clearly tampered with the equipment at the engagement banquet today, aiming to ruin the marriage between our two families. You must not be fooled."

As she spoke, she kept glancing back at the sobbing, distraught Genevieve. Her tone was full of pleading, completely devoid of her usual arrogance.
