Chapter 565 Remove His Mask


    “You''re single. What are you going there for?” asked Cooper, without lifting his head.


    “I''ve got a date.”


    Upon hearing that, Cooper lifted his head and eyed Berti. “You should be meeting someone at this


    age. Okay, then. You may leave.”


    Berti hummed in response. Before exiting the office, he said casually, “Ms. Rachford was the one


    who introduced me to that girl. She''s really pretty. I think she''s Mr. Faulkner''s cousin.”


    Hearing that, Cooper narrowed his eyes and queried, “You mean Jane Faulkner?”


    “Yes.”


    When Berti left the room, Cooper suddenly felt uneasy. Hence, he picked up his phone and dialed


    Genevieve''s number. “Genev, why did you introduce Jane to Berti?”


    “Why not? Berti''s single anyway.”


    Cooper massaged his knitted brows. “Jane''s heart is unwell. How would Berti—”


    Smiling, Genevieve interrupted, “I''ve told Berti about this already. He says he doesn''t mind it. Coop,


    don''t make him stay in the office today, okay? It''s the Sky Lantern Festival. What if they end up


    together by releasing antern? Wouldn''t that be amazing?”


    Amazing, my foot!


    Cooper hung up, suppressing his frustration.


    After contemting for some time, he picked up the coat from the stand and marched out of his office.


    Berti was leaving at the same time. When he saw Cooper walking over, the former surmised


    Genevieve''s predictions were right. Despite that, he still approached Cooper and asked casually, “Mr.


    Sutton, are you leaving for the club so soon?”


    “You''re going on my behalf. I''m going to Primrose River.” Cooper put on his coat with a stern


    expression.


    Berti was stunned. “But I—”


    Cooper cut in impatiently, “Genev invited me. It wasn''t easy inviting Mr. Shepherd to Jadeborough. I


    can''t stand him up, so you''ll deliver the gift on my behalf. Your task tonight will be counted as overtime.


    You''ll get four days of leave in recement.”


    “Okay.” Wow. I get a short vacation by just delivering something. This is such a great deal!


    Berti was so ted that he almost burst outughing. I wonder if Mr. Sutton will get mad once he


    finds out the truth.


    Upon arriving at the underground parking lot, Cooper handed Berti the gift and asked, “Do you have


    Jane''s number?”


    “No,” Berti admitted. “Ms. Rachford only sent me Ms. Jane''s picture.”


    “Delete it,” Cooper ordered coldly before opening the door and entering the car.


    Berti watched the car speed out of the underground parking lot before taking out his phone and


    sending Genevieve a text to inform her that Cooper was on his way.

    Meanwhile, a victorious smile appeared on Genevieve''s face as soon as she read the text.


    I knew he''d not sit still.


    Since it was not time to release thenterns, Jane and Genevieve strolled along the riverbank. Seeing


    the subtle smile on thetter''s face, Jane asked curiously, “Genevieve, why are you smiling so


    happily?”


    “It''s skyntern day. Of course I''m happy,” Genevieve said, grinning.


    She led Jane through the crowd to get some skynterns from the convenience store beside the cafe.


    At the same time, more people were slowly gathering on both sides of the riverbank.


    A gentle breeze blew past when it was time to release thenterns. Many people lit up theirs that had


    wishes written on them. Upon releasing them into the sky, they watched thenterns move with the


    wind.


    Candle mes flickered all over the sky, making it a majestic and breathtaking sight. Thanks to the


    candlelights, the dark sky looked like the milky way.


    Genevieve was born and bred in Jadeborough. If not for her studies abroad that prevented her from


    returning, she would havee back every year and attended the Sky Lantern Festival with Cooper


    and her parents.


    Being surrounded by skynterns made her feel as if she was the happiest person on earth.


    Though it had been a few years since shest joined the festival, the ce was still as crowded and


    mind-blowing as ever. Even so, she felt a little lonely.


    She felt that she should not be enjoying such a beautiful scene alone.


    The massive crowd squeezed their way through in every direction, and continuousughter rang out in


    the air. Through her blurry vision, Genevieve could vaguely see a towering back standing alone in the


    dark. It was as if he was wrapped in an air of loneliness.


    Genevieve could see his figure slowly bing clearer as thenterns'' lights shone on him.


    Subconsciously, she took a step forward and started running over.


    She got closer and closer until both of them were only half a meter apart. Stopping in her tracks, she


    stared at the man''s back and probed, “A-Armand?”


    The tall man turned around, revealing the fox mask on his face. His pitch-ck eyes, hiding behind the


    mask, stared fixedly at her.


    Boldly stepping forward, Genevieve went on her tiptoe and removed the man''s mask.


    She instantly gasped.
