Chapter 517 Do You Care About Armand
A few dayster, a piece of shocking news made waves on Twitter.
An established media outlet had exposed a moneyundering scandal involving a member of Central
Group''s senior management. Subsequently, another member was involved in a hit-and-run ident
while driving under the influence of alcohol.
Furthermore, one of their auditors admitted that there was something off about Central Group''s
financial reports.
Due to the consecutive waves of negative publicity, Central Group remained the top trending topic on
Twitter and in the headlines of all major news websites, causing its stock price to decline so rapidly that
it triggered the limit-down suspension a couple of times.
As one of the top conglomerates in the country, Central Group''s public rtions team was made up of
the elite within the industry. In spite of that, they still failed to stem the avnche of controversies
rted to thepany.
Consequently, manyizens spected that there was someone powerful out to get Central Group.
Realizing that something was amiss, Landon, Central Group''s biggest shareholder, sold off his holdings
in thepany''s stock and withdrew billions from thepany.
On the sixth day, a man who imed to be a former employee of Central Group was standing at the
edge of the rooftop at Central Group Tower.
Heined to a bunch of reporters that he had cancer, but Central Group had refused to pay for his
medical fees. After losing a couple ofwsuits he initiated, he ended up missing the best window for
treatment.
Once the man finished his story, he jumped off the building without a second thought.
News of the suicide added to Central Group''s already long list of scandals. Even the police quickly
sought out Armand and brought him back to the station for questioning.
When Genevieve learned of the developments, a grim expression descended upon her face.
It wasmon for any conglomerate to have ck sheep; it was just that their conduct was usually
covered up and not revealed to the public.
Nevertheless, she didn''t expect Central Group to be flooded with so many scandals, to the extent the
public rtions department was helpless to stop them. It was so bad that there was even a loss of life.
“What are you looking at?” Jack sat down beside Genevieve and wrapped his arm around her waist.
When he casually nced at the screen, he caught a glimpse of the news rted to Central Group,
causing him to shift his gaze toward Genevieve. “Genev, do you still care about Armand?”
“No.” She shook her head as she no longer had any feelings for him. “It''s just that at the rate this is
going, Central Group is finished.”
After a brief pause, she asked Jack, “Didn''t you say that Sylvie was an orphan?”
Fiddling with her hair, Jack repliednguidly, “When I interviewed her for my new movie four years ago,
it was stated in her file that she was an orphan. However, I don''t know her well and don''t care if she''s
an orphan or the daughter of someone rich.”
His words caused Genevieve to fall into deep thought.
Before Sylvie left the other day, she had mentioned the Zeigler family of Baykeep. However, despite all
her efforts, Genevieve couldn''t find any information about that family.
Coincidentally, someone was discussing Sylvie''s buy-out of her contract from Genevieve Orsi
Productions in an online forum.
After going through thements, she stumbled upon aizen''s revtion that Sylvie was a
granddaughter of the Zeigler family from Baykeep. That sameizen even provided an in-depth
overview of the Zeigler family.
General Herbert Zeigler distinguished himself during the war and was subsequently appointed as the
she was a diplomat who was proficient in thirteennguages. Even though she had given birth to three
sons and a daughter, she died of a disease when she was young.
As for Herbert''s three sons, the eldest was now themander of Baykeep, the second was a party
secretary, and the third worked for the nation''s Aviation Authority.
Evidently, all three of them brought glory to the family.
With regard to his daughter, she had been kidnapped at a young age, and Sylvie was the child born of
that daughter.
As a result, Sylvie naturally became Herbert''s favorite.
After reading the analysis, Genevieve understood why Sylvie was suddenly behaving so audaciously. It
turned out that she had a tremendously powerful family backing her.
With that thought in mind, Genevieve was certain that Herbert was the one behind Central Group''s
woes.
Regardless of how exceptional a capitalist was, he wouldn''t have the courage to offend anyone in the
military or political establishment, let alone someone as powerful as Herbert. For Herbert to deal with aN?velDrama.Org is the owner.
businessman''s empire was as easy as squashing an ant.
Jack snatched Genevieve''s phone away. “Even if Central Group goes bust, that''s Armand''s problem,
not yours. Genev, isn''t your time better spent on me?”
Genevieve froze awkwardly, still not used to intimacy with Jack.
“I''m worried that I''ll be Sylvie''s next target.”
Jack sniggered at thement as he ce his head on her shoulder. “Unless she has a death wish,
she won''t dare touch you because you''re mine.”
Everything Sylvie was enjoying now was bestowed by him, and it would be all too easy for him to take
them away.
“Let''s return to Dartan the day after next, as I need to deal with something. You can visit the children
too. How about that?” Jack threaded his fingers in between Genevieve''s and sped them tightly.
He added, “With the Zeigler family behind Sylvie now, you won''t be able to touch her if you''re looking to
seek revenge on Johanna''s behalf.”
Grunting in acknowledgment, Genevieve gave the phone on the table a dejected stare.
