Chapter 518 Why Did You Not Tell Her
Meanwhile, Armand was unfazed when he was interrogated by the police. He answered what he
knew and remained silent about matters he had no knowledge of.
Soon, hiswyer arrived.
With regards to the moneyundering case and the hit-and-run ident, the respective culprits had
been taken into custody.
As for the man whomitted suicide, Armand''swyer brought documents to prove that the former
had been fired a long time ago for harming thepany''s interest. Since he was no longer an
employee of Central Group, thepany was not obligated to pay for his medical fees.
After further investigations, the police realized that Armand had nothing to do with the crimes and
released him the day after.
Exiting the police station together with Armand, thewyer asked softly, “Mr. Faulkner, do you need a
ride?”
Armand gently waved his hand. “Someone is picking me up.”
Outside the police station, thewyer saw a ck Bentley parked by the street. Leaning on it was a
towering man with a cigarette between his lips.
Despite his charming looks and elegant features, he exuded an intimidating aura.
It was none other than the head of Specter Corporation—Cooper Sutton.
At the sight of Armand emerging from the police station with thewyer, Cooper threw his cigarette to
the ground and stubbed it out with his leather shoe. “Mr. Faulkner, I suppose they didn''t use the
opportunity to wallop you since your face looks untouched.”
Unbuttoning his cor, Armand responded with a casual smile. “It''s not that bad. In fact, I had three
good meals yesterday.”
After a short banter, Cooper got into the driver''s seat and drove them out of the police station.
He remarked in a solemn tone, “To have his ws reach Jadeborough in just a few days, Old Mr.
Zeigler''swork is powerful indeed.”
When the scandals rting to Central Group broke, he, too, got his public rtions team to divert the
attention away from Central Group with other news.
Unfortunately, the effort was futile since someone was making sure Central Group stayed in the
headlines.
Even though Central Group held a significant stake in Twitter, thetter didn''t dare challenge the
Zeigler family.
“What happened with Mr. Lebon?” Cooper threw Armand a nce from the corner of his eye. “By
selling off his stakes, has he emptied thepany ounts?”
At the rate events were unfolding, thepany''s stock might be worth nothing at all.
If all of Central Group''s shareholders reduced their stakes in thepany and left, that would spell the
end of it.
In spite of the dire situation, Armand was a sea of calm, his voice steady. “Don''t you know that his wife
is Old Mr. Zeigler''s eldest granddaughter?”
Cooper almost jammed the brake at his words.
“I''m aware that his wife is twenty years younger than him andes from a powerful family. However, I
didn''t realize she''s Old Mr. Zeigler''s granddaughter...” Cooper was at a loss for words.
He had been wondering why Landon, who had always stood steadfastly by Armand''s side, would
abandon thetter at the first sign of trouble.
Upon arriving at Golden Restaurant, Cooper and Armand headed into a private room.
Once the waiter took their orders and left, Cooper poured himself a cup of coffee.
“After your scathing attacks on Sylvie, there''s no way she''ll let you go now that Old Mr. Zeigler is her
granddad. Once you''re done for, I''ll be next.”

“No, she doesn''t have the guts.” Armand picked out a cigarette from the pack on the table and lit it.
After taking two puffs, he calmly exined, “Half of the shares in Specter Corporation are in
Genevieve''s hands. Now that she''s married to Jack, she''s considered thedy of the Helt family. Since
offending Jack is the equivalent of challenging the Helt family of Dartan, Sylvie isn''t that dumb to touch
her.”
Since they were on the topic, Cooper''s gaze darkened as he inquired grimly, “Armand, since you love
Genev, why don''t you tell her?”
He was cognizant that Armand''s feelings for Genevieve were stronger than his.
In fact, Armand was even willing to sacrifice his life for her.
Tapping his cigarette on the ashtray, Armand replied calmly, “Four years ago, I begged her to stay, but
she left with Jack without a second thought. Therefore, it''s pointless for me to say anything now. Am I
to be with her just for a few days before she leaves me in the dust with another man?”
Just when he finally managed to suppress the longing he felt for her after four tormenting years, she
came back into his life all of a sudden.
Just like any ordinary person, he wasn''t impervious to hurt and sorrow.
“I don''t think her true intention was to leave with Jack,” Coopermented.
When Armand looked up and gave him a dubious look, Cooper took out a picture and slid it up to him.
Staring at the faded picture and the beautiful woman in it, Armand narrowed his eyes. “Where did you
get this?”
