Chapter 268


    Cooper stood up and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, handing it to Genevieve. Thetter took


    it calmly and wiped off the blood from her face and hands.


    As they walked toward the elevator together, Cooper asked Steven, “Are all the journalists here?”


    “They’re in Conference Hall 3,” Steven answered. Striding to the front of the elevator, he held the


    elevator and gestured for Genevieve and the others to enter first.


    “Hey! Don’t forget me!” Timothy hastily darted into the elevator.


    “When everything has been settled, I’ll have Steven transfer that forty million back to you,” Genevieve


    stated, putting the bloodied handkerchief into her pocket.


    Knowing that she wasn’t discussing it with him and would still have someone transfer the money over


    even if he declined, Cooper nodded.


    “You just took over the position of the CEO of Central Group, so you’ve got to notify the journalists


    about it. Then, you have to hold an executive meeting and get acquainted with thepany’s senior

    executives. Steven will teach you all this.”


    Not only was Genevieve exceedingly calm when faced with Peter earlier, but she alsoter dealt with


    Mirrin with poise.


    Thus, he believed that she would also be able to handle the press conference well.


    “I know.” Genevieve’s eyes flickered for a moment before she added, “Our divorce back then caused a


    huge controversy. With me at Central Group now, the media will undoubtedlytch on to Specter


    Corporation.”


    Cooper was startled for a moment, seemingly hadn’t expected her to have started taking that matter


    into consideration.


    In the next instant, his thin lips turned up, and he shed her an indulgent smile. “It’s okay. Just focus


    on Central Group, and I’ll handle the rest. With me here, Specter Corporation will be fine.”


    “Okay.” Genevieve nodded.


    After the elevator arrived at the designated floor, Steven apanied Genevieve to the conference


    hall to meet the journalists.


    Cooper pressed the button to close the elevator doors.


    Inching a few steps closer to him, Timothy lifted a hand and hooked it around the man’s shoulder,


    leaning against himzily. “What are you thinking, Mr. Sutton? You’re divorced from your ex-wife, yet


    you now want to pursue her again?”


    “Why, is that against thew?” Cooper nudged him with an elbow to get him to remove his hand from


    his shoulder.


    “No, of course, you can. But I’m really curious to know why exactly you and Genevieve got a divorce.”


    Timothy stroked his brow with a finger.


    He once asked Armand about it, but he only learned that the death of Cooper’s parents had something


    to do with the Rachford family. Hence, Coopery in wait in the Rachford residence for twenty years


    just to have his revenge. In fact, he was also the one who set Mr. and Mrs. Rachford up and killed


    them.


    However, Timothy couldn’t make sense of things.


    His grudge with the Rachford family runs deep, so why is he now helping Genevieve instead?


    Cooper didn’t answer him, merely dipping his eyes and pinning them on the elevator control panel.


    It was exactly because there was no noise around him that he could calm down and mull over


    everything that had happened since Armand contacted him, as well as Landon’s remark in the


    conference room earlier.


    He felt as though everything was prenned by Armand.


    There are many capable people at Central Group. Even if Genevieve hadn’te over, the


    shareholders would have still nominated someone from among the senior executives to be the CEO of


    Central Group. They wouldn’t allow Peter to poke his nose in. But why was it that almost half the


    shareholders trusted Genevieve and supported her?


    Under his sses, his eyes narrowed into slits. He turned to Timothy.


    “Dr. Jensen, is there really no hope for Armand to regain consciousness again?”


    Timothy was momentarily taken aback before he flew off his handle. “Whoa! Are you suspecting that


    Armand and I are putting on a show? Are you sick in the head? You just have to ask Genevieve how


    badly injured he is! Worse still, his head is injured! Do you think he’d risk his life to put on a show?”


    “But you’re too calm. You’re good friends with him, yet you’re still going to work as usual though he’s


    now in aa. That aside, you even came to Central Group with me.”


    “So what if we’re good friends? It’s not like we’re brothers!” Timothy scoffed.


    Then, he continued, “I’ve already shed tears for him when I wheeled him out of the operating room that


    night. That was already magnanimous of me! He’s in aa, but I’ve still got to live my life. I can’t act


    like a helpless wife, staying by his bedside and weeping every day, can I? Besides, that should be done


    by his wife, Genevieve!”
