Chapter 269


    Cooper’s brows knitted together, and a hint of displeasure showed on his face. “They only got married


    because of their coboration. Don’t refer to Genevieve as such in the future.”


    In response, Timothy clucked his tongue. “Even so, they registered their marriage. Can you say that


    she isn’t Armand’s wife?”


    At that, words eluded Cooper.


    “If you doubt me and the entire hospital, you can install two surveince cameras in Armand’s room


    and find someone to keep an eye on him every day.” Once more, Timothy ced his hand on the


    man’s shoulder and teased with a chuckle, “Honestly speaking, you’re doubting him, but you actually


    hope that he’ll never regain consciousness, right?”


    Cooper didn’t bother responding to that. Instead, he again unceremoniously pped the man’s hand


    away. “This suit of mine cost a leg and an arm, so keep your hands off it! Besides, I’m not your friend.”


    Timothy wasn’t irate even after having had his hand pped off. Surprisingly, he was still grinning from


    ear to ear.


    “We can be friends starting now! I rather like a businessman like you. You look decent and intelligent,


    so being with you all elevates my social circle!”


    Verily, Cooper was struck dumb.


    He really detested Timothy’s enthusiastic and talkative nature.


    Timothy continued rambling at Cooper, curiously asking him why he got divorced from Genevieve.


    s, Cooper ignored him.


    The instant the elevator arrived on the first floor, Cooper swiftly hurried out as though the hounds of hell


    were nipping at his heels.


    When they finally stepped out of the building, Cooper pulled open the car door to leave, but Timothy


    had already caught up to him. “I didn’t drive here, Mr. Sutton! How about giving me a ride?”


    “Sorry, but it’s out of my way.” Smiling faintly, Cooper pried off his fingers that were gripping the car


    door.


    After getting into the car, he took a piece of microfiber cloth out of his pocket before removing his


    sses and wiping them.


    All of a sudden, he remembered the incident when he brought Erica to a high-ss banquet after his


    divorce from Genevieve. Genevieve attended as well and publicized the conversation he had with Erica


    at the hotel. At that time, he wondered how she managed to record it and thought of doing so.


    It wasn’t until heter found out that she got together with Armand that it all made sense to him.


    Thinking back upon that incident, realization abruptly dawned upon him, and he narrowed his eyes a


    fraction. “No wonder he did that. He’s really shrewd.”


    “Turn back at once!” he ordered the driver.


    Timothy was heading to the roadside to hail a taxi then. No sooner had he taken two steps than


    Cooper’s Bentley screeched to a stop beside him.


    Cooper swung open the car door and alighted from the car. “Let’s have a drink, Dr. Jensen?”


    Glimpsing the smile on the man’s face, Timothy sensed danger. “It isn’t good to drink in broad daylight.


    Besides, I’m on duty this afternoon.”


    “You’re absolutely right, Dr. Jensen. Being friends with someone like you makes it much more


    convenient when I go to the hospital for treatment in the future.” Cooper stuffed the man who was

    nning to take off into the car, his smile as friendly as ever.


    Then, he added, “To celebrate our friendship, we’ve got to have a drink!”


    Slipping into the car, he locked the car door and instructed the driver, “Head to Imperial Club.”


    That turn of events had Timothy entirely dumbfounded.


    Meanwhile, Genevieve entered Conference Hall 3 at Central Group with Steven apanying her.


    The conference hall was packed with journalists, with some gathered together to chat. The instant they


    spotted Genevieve stepping in, they promptly swung their cameras in her direction until she went on


    stage.


    Then, they started to barrage her with cutting questions.


    “Ms. Genevieve, it’s rumored that you and Mr. Armand have long since gotten married. Is that true?”


    “Is Armand reallyatose and could never regain consciousness again?”


    “Yes, Armand and I have long since gotten married, but taking our careers into consideration, we didn’t


    publicize it,” Genevieve answered calmly.


    She stood on the stage, allowing the shing lights to blind her without batting an eysh.


    Subsequently, she rified, “My husband is notatose. He’s merely severely injured and needs to


    recuperate in the hospital for some time. I just had a meeting with Central Group’s shareholders a while


    ago. While my husband is unconscious, I’ll take over as Central Group’s CEO and manage the
