Chapter 439 Go Ahead And Try It


    Cooper''s deep, booming voice suddenly rang out. “Ms. sen, you''d better remain in


    Genevieve Orsi Productions for the duration of your contract. If you get Armand to pay your


    termination fee, I guarantee it''d spell the end of your acting career. Not even Armand would be


    able to help you then! If you don''t believe me, go ahead and try it!”


    Sylvie was so terrified by Cooper''s threat that she began shaking uncontrobly.


    She looked up at Armand, hoping he''d put in a word for her, but unfortunately, he was indifferent about


    it.


    “I won''t offend a business partner for a woman,” he said calmly.


    After hearing Armand''s promise, Cooper snorted and hung up the phone.


    “I want to help you terminate your contract, but you know the rtionship between Mr. Sutton and your


    I can''t risk that.”


    Then, in an attempt to appease Sylvie, he continued, “If there are any movies you''re interested in


    taking on, I''ll try my best to help you.”


    Left with no other choice, Sylvie nodded and forced a smile out. “Thank you, Mr. Faulkner.”


    Since he still had work to do, Armand barely stayed in the ward for ten minutes before taking his leave.


    After closing the door, Joyce promptly returned to the table and poured a ss of water for herself.


    “Genevieve sure has a way with men, hasn''t she? The two wealthiest and most powerful men in


    Jadeborough are her ex-husbands, and she also has Mr. Valentine wrapped around her finger. From


    what I''ve heard, Mr. Valentine has a lot of influence in Dartan and is the real decision-maker in Helt


    Corporation!” she said as she emptied almost half her ss and sighed. “Not only does she have the


    looks, but she''s also insanely lucky. How does one get to be as blessed as her?”


    Joyce continued to ramble on, but when she turned around and saw Sylvie scowling away, she quickly


    stopped to pour a ss for thetter.


    “Cooper Sutton is the Rachford family''s adopted son and has a very close rtionship with Genevieve.


    He has dealings with Mr. Faulkner daily, so I can understand why Mr. Faulkner doesn''t want to offend


    him,” Joyce coaxed. “Don''t break your contract with thepany in a fit of anger, Sylvie. Mr. Faulkner


    treats you very well. I''m sure he will finance the movies you''re interested in.”


    “Will he?” Sylvie replied with a bitter smile. “Don''t you know how strict he is?”


    Of course, Joyce was aware of that.


    As a manager, she had never once left Sylvie''s side and handled everything from thetter''s work


    schedule to her personal affairs.


    Sylvie had acted in many movies of various genres in thest four years, yet Armand would always


    insist on removing all her racy and kissing scenes from the scripts.


    Even when rumors spread that Armand was a womanizer, Sylvie continued to stick by him.


    However, no matter how nasty those rumors got, with some people even suggesting that the couple


    had a child together, only Joyce knew the truth. Sylvie had asional meals with Armand, but that was


    all. She spent most of her time at home, and Armand hardly visited her.


    There had even been endorsement deals and talk show opportunities for Sylvie, but Armand was


    adamant that she limit her public exposure. In the end, Joyce had no choice but to turn down all the


    various deals.


    Because of the high level of strictness, Sylvie had never gotten embroiled in scandals with any male

    artists since her debut. Even when she went on her movie promotional tours, her image remained pure


    and pristine.


    The more Joyce stared at Sylvie''s expression, the more she began to make sense of the situation.


    I always thought Armand Faulkner was overly protective of Sylvie, and that''s why he''s so strict with her.


    But after meeting Genevieve today, I doubt the reason is that simple.


    With that, Joyce felt a chill run down her spine.


    “Sylvie, do you remember the charity event?” she asked gingerly. “Didn''t you say you''d stay at the hotel


    that night? Why did you still get the minivan to pick you up afterward?”


    Upon hearing Joyce''s words, Sylvie recalled the events of that fateful night and turned pale.


    She had tried throwing herself at Armand on many asions but to no avail. Despite that, she refused


    to give up.


    On the night of the charity event, Sylvie rounded up a few hotel staff and shared her n with them.


    Unfortunately, they mistook Genevieve for her and dragged the former into Armand''s room.
