    Chapter 1036 Why Think About That


    It was Armand, who was looking casual in a ck shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a shopping bag in his


    left hand.


    After ncing at the table, Armand walked over to Genevieve. Then, he pulled his pants higher before


    crouching down and taking a shoe box out of the shopping bag.


    As he put on the soft slippers for Genevieve, he asked, “You''re done?”


    “Mhm.” Genevieve finished the watermelon on the te. “I liked Ms. Gaudette''s moonstone bracelet,


    so I was betting on it with poker. I won.”


    Armand was not at all surprised by her victory. “If you like gemstone bracelets like these, I''ll get


    someone to find a colorful one for you.”


    Genevieve''s eyes flitted toward Eurydice''s wrist. “I think the moonstone one is better.”

    “Don''t you already have a set made with the best moonstone? One should be enough,” Armand


    answered before picking up the heels under the table and putting them in the shoebox.


    Genevieve frowned, wondering when she had gotten a moonstone bracelet and why she never saw it


    in her jewelry box.


    She held a grudge against Eurydice because of what Eurydice said at the hotel the day before, which


    was why Genevieve had set her up. Now that Eurydice had lost horrendously to her, Genevieve had


    achieved her initial aim of humiliating her. It would not be a loss if Genevieve gave up on Eurydice''s


    bracelet.


    Furthermore, Eurydice was not a nobody; Genevieve did not want to offend Eurydice to the point of no


    return.


    After Armand kept the shoebox back in the bag, he stood up and reached out toward Genevieve, who


    took his hand and rose to her feet.


    Reba nearly rolled her eyes at them before she gloomily muttered, “Are you done yet?”


    Once Genevieve stepped away from the table, Armand gently ced his arm around her waist and


    said to Reba, “Steven''s going to send us to the resortter. Do you want toe along?”


    Reba had thought that Steven was keeping the two childrenpany in Jadeborough, so when she


    heard Armand''s offer, her eyes lit up.


    Once they were gone, the small card room fell silent.


    Eurydice and Sally were the only ones left in the room, and Eurydice was still on her chair, her gaze


    lowered and her expression dark.


    When Sally stood up, she grabbed a damp towel from the table at the side and coldly said, “Your father


    has plenty of attractive geniuses around him, so why did you have to eye someone you shouldn''t?”


    “Isn''t it the same for you too?” Eurydice turned to look at her.


    “Yes, but when I realized I wasn''t a match for Genevieve, I gave up.” Sally was never interested in


    Armand himself—it was only because her beloved''s heart was in his chest.


    When Armand did not hesitate in swinging the knife right at his chest, Sally found out that they were


    two separate beings.


    Armand was Armand; Ethan was Ethan.


    The heart belonged to Ethan, but the one Armand loved was Genevieve, and he was willing to give her


    everything.


    Everything Sally had done up to that point had been meaningless.


    Once Sally was done wiping her hand, she threw the towel back on the tray. “Genevieve''s family runs


    businesses, but her maternal grandfather is Baykeep''s General Zeigler, and Commander Zeigler is her


    uncle.”


    It was then Eurydice abruptly recalled Armand calling Felix “Uncle Felix” and how Genevieve had


    asked Reba to take care of Armand.


    So, Genevieve''s connected to the Zeigler family in this way. If Sally didn''t tell me about this, I wouldn''t


    have known.


    Sally gave Eurydice another nce before uttering in the same cold voice, “Baykeep is the Zeiglers''


    territory, so Genevieve isn''t someone you should cross for no good reason.”


    “That doesn''t mean I''ll let her do as she pleases all the time.” Eurydice smiled. “I''ll let Armand know


    that I''m the only one who''s worthy of him.”


    Sally snorted. “That''s where you''re wrong. Armand''s not at all interested in power.”


    “If he isn''t interested, why is he in the political world?” Eurydice questioned.


    Humans were creatures driven by desires—lust, wealth, and power. With power, one could have


    everything.


    No man was capable of resisting temptations like that.


    Sally was not close to Eurydice, and the lesser the people who knew about the Zane family''s incident,


    the better. Hence, she only nced at Eurydice and picked up her phone.


    Still, before she left, she turned around to give Eurydice a warning. “It''s fine if you fight with her, but


    don''t ever pull any dirty tricks on her.”


    Even if Eurydice was the daughter of a king, countless people would be more than happy to have her


    head on a silver tter if something were to happen to Genevieve and Eurydice was found involved.


    By then, even her father would not be able to save her.
