Chapter 810
Chapter 810 He Crossed The Line
Recalling that she still had to celebrate the children''s birthday, Genevieve could not afford to pine over
Armand. Wiping her tears, she got into the car and dried herself with a towel before driving back into
the city.
Upon arriving at Swallow Garden, Harry, too, wanted to celebrate the children''s birthday. Genevieve
agreed as she felt the more the merrier.
Crossing the threshold, she saw the living room had been decorated into a little fairytale paradise.
Amanda was wearing a light blue dress and a party hat, and Steven was standing before her doing
magic tricks.
Changing into slippers, Genevieve led Harry into the living room. “I''m sorry for returningte,” she
announced.
“Mommy!” Amanda ran into Genevieve''s embrace.
“Happy birthday, Sweetie.” Genevieve kissed her daughter tenderly and picked her up before ncing
behind. “I brought Harry along.”
“Happy birthday, Amanda.” Harry handed her a gift.
Amanda tore the wrapper open eagerly and beamed at him upon seeing the crystal hair clip shaped
like a butterfly nestled in the box. “Thank you, Harry, but I''m already wearing a hair clip. I''ll wear yours
another time!”
Her face alight with a joyful smile, Amanda continued, “Since everybody is here, let''s cut the cake so I
can make a birthday wish!”
Genevieve was confused as she watched her daughter run toward a six-tiered cake.
Since she awoke that morning, Amanda had been reminding her mother that she wished to see her
father that night. When Genevieve went to the resort, the child even asked if she would be returning
with her father.
Why is she not disappointed that her father did not show up but is somehow very happy instead?
After Cooper lit the candles on the cake, Amanda hurriedly closed her eyes and made a wish. Then,
she beckoned her brother over.
“Come, Lucian. It''s your turn to make a wish!”
Lucian closed his eyes half-heartedly. “I hope Amanda will be more obedient and adorable in the future
and stop bullying her brother.”
“What do you mean, Lucian? Am I not adorable now?”
Amanda stamped her feet and gazed up at Genevieve forlornly. “You see, Mommy? Lucian is telling
lies about me. He is the one who has been bullying me! No, Lucian''s wish doesn''t—”
Before Amanda finished speaking, Lucian blew out all the candles in a single breath and nearly made
his sister weep with consternation.
After they cut the cake, Cooper found the opportunity to pull Genevieve aside to therge windows for
a chat. “You called me an hour ago, Genev. Why did you ask me something like that?”
“Armand isn''t dead. He''s with Mr. Zane.” Genevieve told Cooper what happened that night when she
was at the resort with Harry.
“Armand didn''t flinch when he saw me. He even told Sally I''m his ex-wife he divorced years ago!”
Genevieve became incensed at that recollection. “I called to ask because I thought he had been
administered with Curb.emotion.”
“No wonder we couldn''t find him despite the long search.” Cooper sighed.
There would be many bodyguards around a man of Robert''s status. His movements would also be so

secretive that nobody could find him if he did not wish to disclose his whereabouts.
“Still, how did he end up with somebody like that?” Cooper asked glumly.
“That''s not all. He''s already Mr. Zane''s godson,” Genevieve informed stiffly, scowling. “Also, he couldn''t
keep his hands off Mr. Loake''s daughter. Their wedding is only a matter of time!”
“What?” Cooper was shocked.
With Armand''s connections, he would not fraternize with people like that, as he mingles easily with
people from the military, government, and business worlds.
“How did he end up as Robert''s godson after he disappeared for so long?”
“It''s fine if he was keeping something from me and unwilling to discuss it, but he''d crossed a line,”
Genevieve choked as her eyes grew red. “His disappearance had caused me so much worry. Turns out
he has a new woman.”
Genevieve felt awful when the image of Sally caressing Armand and him allowing her to do as she
pleased yed in her mind''s eye.
