Chapter 151


    Steven fell silent for a moment before replying, “Mrs. Faulkner, I’ve been working for Mr. Faulkner for a


    long time, so I know about the matter between him and Ms. Wood. Please believe me that Mr. Faulkner


    doesn’t mean to give in to her sometimes. In addition to being the third daughter-inw of the Faulkner


    family, her family is also one of the four prominent families in Xedells. Now that Mr. Faulkner is the


    head of the family, he won’t be able to hold Ms. Wood ountable no matter how many times she


    messes up. If he does, the outside world will look down upon the Faulkner family. Moreover, she’s


    currently pregnant. Mr. Wood will not let it slide if he finds her daughter suffering at the Faulkner


    residence.” Steven had always thought that Armand was still in love with Marilyn, and that was why


    Armand had been so indifferent when he reported to him what he had found out about the matter from


    more than ten years ago. However, after apanying Armand to Xedells, he realized that he was


    wrong. There were many situations when Armand had no choice. While he was talking, he lifted his


    gaze and took another nce at Genevieve. Steven had been working for Armand since thetter first


    got together with Marilyn. He discovered that although Armand had been with her for over ten years, he


    had treated her differently from Genevieve. Moreover, with Armand’s personality, if he and Genevieve


    merely had a cooperative rtionship, he would’ve instantly shoved her away should she dare to throw


    a tantrum. He wouldn’t have immediately put off all his work and traveled to Springwyn to apany


    her upon learning that something had happened to her. Hearing Steven’s words, Genevieve lowered


    her gaze and her expression darkened. Indeed. When the Rachford family still existed in the past, I


    was already no match for Marilyn. I have nothing left now and have to rely on Armand to get my


    revenge. Just then, a waiter brought the menu, which Steven handed to Genevieve. “Have a look and


    see what you’d like to eat, Mrs. Faulkner.” Genevieve merely shook her head before pushing her


    luggage back into the room. Upon returning to the living room, she noticed Armand sitting on the couch


    with aptop on the coffee table in front of him and his phone to his ear. He seemed to be talking to


    someone. He also had a cigarette between his fingers. “Leave this matter for now. I’ll handle it when


    I’m back. And leave the rest of the matters to the other deputy CEOs…” The man’s tone was calm and


    cold as usual. He took a puff of the cigarette, and upon looking up and seeing Genevieve standing two


    meters away, he paused before stubbing out the cigarette butt in an ashtray. Armand put the phone


    away from his ear and nced at her. “Go back to the bedroom and change your clothes stained with


    disinfectant. Take a nap if you’re tired. I’m handling some matters. Okay?” Seeing that she was still


    rooted to her spot, the man arched his brow. “Unless you want me to help you change?” Meanwhile, at


    Central Group, the secretary who was talking to Armand had ced her phone on speaker, so that the


    other employees of the secretarial department could also listen to the man to ensure smooth


    still audible. Upon hearing thest part, everyone in the secretarial department blushed. Is this


    something meant for our ears? Never had Genevieve thought that the man could say such daring

    words with a stoic face and a deep voice. She shot him a re before pushing her luggage into the


    bedroom. She peevishly refused to change her clothes andy down on the bed. Turning on her


    phone, she noticed many WhatsApp messages from thepany group chat, including one from


    Patrick. Patrick wrote: Genev, does your throat still hurt? Ever since waking up in the hospital,


    Genevieve had only seen him delivering her breakfast once. However, she could not speak to him


    because of her throat condition. Seeing his message, she quickly replied: It hurt a little when I first


    woke up, but it doesn’t anymore. If you hadn’te in time, I’d have been dead. Thank you. Patrick


    texted back: There’s no need to thank me. It’s obvious that I failed to protect you… Is there anything


    you would like to eat? Genevieve wrote: I wish to eat Maria’s cooking. I want to go back to her ce in


    Jadeborough. She did not wait for his reply but turned off the phone and ced it on the side of the


    pillow. She slid down and wrapped herself in the nket. Since I was a child, I grew up being


    pampered and could be as willful as I wanted. But now the Rachford family is no more, and my parents


    are gone. The only person who canfort me now is Maria…
