Chapter 319


    There were countless powerful individuals in the industry, but Armand''s skills and power were


    something no one couldpete against. Even the more experienced businessmen had to bow down


    to him.


    He never asked for a loan or any other resources from the Faulkner family when he founded Central


    Group. Even then, it only took him a few short years to turn that newly foundedpany into an


    international enterprise that was worth hundreds of billions. He even set up branches outside the


    country and was taking Central Group global.


    Armand had always been sensitive to market fluctuations and had never made a loss in any of the


    projects he invested in.


    The media marked him as the richest man in Jadeborough, but his true worth was much, much


    more than anyone could ever guess.


    Given how intelligent and rich he was, it made sense that no one dared to cross him.


    Everyone was still on edge when Genevieve returned. The look on their faces changed right away, and


    suddenly, everyone was eating away and drinking tea.


    The terrifying aura that engulfed the entire ce instantly dissipated.


    When Genevieve returned to her seat, she caught sight of Armand''s bleeding hand, which was resting


    on the table at the time. The shards of the porcin cup were right next to him, and it seemed his palm


    was injured.


    She left the ce again and returned with a first aid kit.


    As she sat beside Armand, she used the disinfectant to clean his injury. Genevieve couldn''t help


    frowning and asking, “How did that cup break?”


    “| guess these cups are of horrible quality and can''t even handle the heat from the tea; answered


    Armand after thinking about it. He even turned to Martin and instructed, “Mr. Turner, please have your


    employees rece these cups. It would be bad if the cups break apart again and hurt other


    customers.”


    “Understood, replied Martin. He was rather exasperated, but he had no choice and could only nod in


    agreement.


    My gosh. He really is a good actor. He deliberately broke that cup to intimidate us, but he didn''t even


    break a sweat when he lied and told Genevieve it broke by itself. It''s kinda funny, though.


    It was eight o''clock at night when everyone finished their dinner.


    Fortunately, most wanted to stay away from Armand, so they came up with some excuses and fled the


    ce.


    Martin and Armand ended up leaving the ce together. They were chuckling away at the time. “Mr.


    and Mrs. Faulkner, there''s a natural hot spring located right behind this hotel. The water is rejuvenating,

    and I''m guessing it''s filled with guests right now. | can have my people free up some space for the two


    of you to enjoy a dip, though.”


    “That sounds lovely. Thank you,’ replied Armand as he nodded.


    “You''re wee.”


    Genevieve led Armand back into his room. As they were on their way, she said, “Have Steven


    apany you to the hot spring. I''m not interested.”


    “You''re interested. You just don''t want to go there with me,” said Armand, as though he had guessed


    what she was thinking.


    Genevieve didn''t reply, but her silence was a form of confirmation as well.


    “It''s fine’ replied Armand. He wouldn''t force her. He simply said, “The water is beneficial to my legs, so


    I''ll go take a dipter. You can go take a dip with your secretary first.”


    “You''re blind, so how are you going to make it there on your own?”ined Genevieve. “Just do as


    | say and have Steven go with you.”


    When the door to the elevator opened, Genevieve led Armand out of the ce. “Steven left two hours


    ago to work on some other tasks. He probably hasn''t returned yet.”


    Genevieve fished her phone out of her pocket to call Steven.


    It rang for quite some time, but no one picked up. | guess he really is busy... Genevieve shot a look at


    the man beside her.


    He''s in a terrible state. He can''t see and is walking so slowly. | feel as though I''d be torturing him if | ask


    him to go on his own.


    Genevieve sighed deeply inwardly.


    She returned to her room and changed her clothes before taking


    Armand to the hot spring near the hotel.


    Martin had invested a lot of money into the ce, so he wanted it to be huge. That was also why the


    resort wasn''t just a walking distance away from the scenic spots. It also offered many activities and


    snacks.


    The resort was the most famous resort in Baykeep, and they were fully booked every month.
