Chapter 1234


    Chapter 1234 Anything She Wants


    A few dayster, the city council announced that Taylor, whose term was almost up anyway, would be


    stepping down from his position as the mayor due to health issues.


    Following this, Armand was dered the new mayor.


    Prior to his return to the country, Armand had contacted Nigel, who was in Xedells, and also had his


    men spread the news of Nigel''s wife being his biological mother.


    To think, he had been working an entry-level job just a few months ago, and now, he was being


    relocated here for another job.


    With his newfound status as “Nigel''s stepson” and his promising political track record in the past,


    Armand''s election as mayor was met with approval. It helped that Robert and the others were


    supporting him behind the scenes, too.


    After stepping into his role as mayor, Armand hunkered down on the paperwork and affairs that came


    with the job. He had only just tied up all the loose ends when he got a call from Jadeborough Chamber


    of Commerce inviting him to a banquet.


    At eight o''clock in the evening, Armand showed up at the banquet with his secretary.


    The banquet was being held at Lovely Heart Hotel, and there was already a crowd when Armand


    arrived.


    As soon as he stepped into the hall, a group of people swarmed around him.


    “Congrattions, Mr. Faulkner!”


    Armand was dressed in a ck suit that entuated his well-built, towering frame. There was fortitude


    behind his cid demeanor, and he outshone the others in the room with his elegance.


    Everyone who came forward to clink sses with Armand all looked upon him with admiration.


    Truly, there was no figure more legendary than Armand.


    The man was born to the Faulkner family in Xedells, but he came to Jadeborough at a young age and


    made a name for himself as a businessman. He eventually gave upmerce to pursue politics and


    became a minister after that, and it was all the more impressive how he got elected as mayor within


    such a short time.


    Granted, he had his fair share of support to get to where he was today, but there was no denying his


    caliber.


    Armand maintained a faint and polite smile as he exchanged pleasantries and clinked sses with the


    guests who hade up to congratte him. It was not until an hourter that he finally got some


    breathing space.


    Just then, a figure approached him. “Mr. Faulkner.”


    Armand nced up to see Eurydice, who was wearing a long-sleeved dress, making her way over and


    “Mind if we find a more private ce to talk?” she asked.


    Armand raised his hand and waved to dismiss his secretary.


    When his secretary had stepped away, he gave Eurydice an inscrutable smile and said, “We''re alone


    now. Feel free to speak your mind.”


    Eurydice let slide the fact that he had no intention to go somewhere more private to talk.


    She raised her head and assessed him. He might appear gentle and amicable, but the look in his


    tapered eyes was frosty.


    It was as if he was only pretending to be personable when in truth, he was just as aloof and distant as


    always.


    A few days ago, Eurydice had people look into Taylor''s so-called “health issues” and who the new


    mayor candidate was, only to bepletely caught off guard by Armand''s election.


    She thought he had died in that explosion.


    And yet, here he was, looking well and alive. As expected of the man I fell in love with at first sight. She


    loved how he could turn the odds in his favor, but at the same time, she was wary of his intelligence.


    When Armand noticed she was staring at him without saying anything, his smile faded, and he pointed


    out sullenly, “Ms. Gaudette, please cut to the chase. I only have five minutes to spare.”


    Eurydice''s brows furrowed at once. “Mr. Faulkner, you''re far too intelligent and capable to settle for


    being a mayor.” Her gaze on him was smoldering and confident as she added, “I can help you. I admire


    you enough to want to see you climb higher.”


    She actually meant what she said.


    Eurydice had seen plenty of men, each with different qualities. These men were undoubtedly talented,


    but they were wed, too. Armand was different; his intelligence and foresight were iparable.


    She had always admired men like him who were strong and powerful, but gentle to those around him.


    “I have no interest in climbing higher,” Armand countered evenly, not at all tempted by her offer.


    Secondster, his gaze softened slightly. “The only reason I became mayor was to fulfill my wife''s


    dream of being a mayor''s wife.”


    Eurydice could not hide her bewilderment. “Seriously? That''s the only reason you''re doing this?”


    So, Genevieve is alive, too.


    “Of course,” Armand answered matter-of-factly. The mention of Genevieve brought some warmth to his


    tone as he said, “I would give her anything, even the moon if she asked for it.”


    He paused after that, then looked at Eurydice impassively. “On that note, I am perfectly capable of


    giving my wife whatever she wants, so I don''t need your help to make her happy.”

    Eurydice was so stunned by Armand''s response that she was at a loss for words. She did not fully


    grasp the implication of his words until a few secondster.


    If he could have anything he wanted at the snap of his fingers, then he could just as easily prevent


    anyone from getting what they wanted.
