Chapter 451 Wait For Armand To Say It

The next day, news of Central Group’s CEO spending the night with a celebrity at a hotel was all over Twitter’s trending page. Armand’s indirect support for Sylvie had helped distract people from her recent negative media coverage. Johanna, who had seen the news early in the morning, went to see Genevieve in her office the moment she arrived. “What on earth is Mr. Faulkner doing? You’ve only just taught Sylvie a lesson a few days ago, and now the two of them are on the Trending page! Is he trying to whitewash her or something?” Noticing no response from Genevieve, Johanna tapped on her desk and asked “Hey! Did you hear what I just said?” “Yes, I did. I may have taught Sylvie a lesson, but she is still working for Genevieve Orsi. If anything, I should be thanking Mr. Faulkner for saving my company the money to protect Sylvie’s image,” Genevieve replied while keeping her eyes on the document in her hands. Johanna stared at her in disbelief. “Your husband spent the night at a hotel with another woman!

The fact that Mr. Faulkner hasn’t addressed the rumor means it’s most likely true! Shouldn’t you be mad at him?” Genevieve placed her pen down and looked up at Johanna. “Why would I be mad? He has the right to marry any woman he likes. I’ll lose the bet if I go confront him about it.” Her bet with Jack was whether Armand still loved her after so many years. However, she wasn’t allowed to do anything except wait for Armand to confess his love for her. Johanna let out a sigh after a brief pause and said, “You shouldn’t have come back, Genev. Life was a lot better for you in Dartan.” “I was the one who made this decision. Regretting won’t do me any good.” Genevieve took a sip of her coffee. “My private investigator gave me a call last night. I had him investigate what happened to Charice, and he told me that she migh still be alive.” “What?” Johanna stared wide-eyed at her in shock. “The private investigator has a friend in Holton Hospital who’s really close with the guys managing the archives. His friend obtained Charice’s death certificate and found out that her information on the certificate is different from the one on her medical records. I went to Baykeep a while back to visit the housekeeper who worked for Charice. She showed me lots of photos of her. I sent two of them to the private investigator. According to him, the person in the post-mortem photographs looked quite different,” Genevieve explained. She had told Johanna that Jack’s mother had been in a car accident when they were at the cafe the other day. “Do you think Charice deliberately messed up the corpse’s face so Jack would think she’s dead?” Johanna asked. Genevieve nodded. “It’s possible.” “In that case…” Johanna stared at Genevieve and continued after a brief pause, “Does this mean the car accident wasn’t actually an accident? Why would Charice do such a thing?” Genevieve told Johanna about the conversation she had with the housekeeper. “Charice thinks Cesar cheated on her, so she kept hating him even after she was overseas. Charice told Jack about Cesar, then faked her death so Jack would help avenge her.” Johanna rubbed her chin as she said, “Cesar’s wives have all died at Jack’s hand, right? I hear Jack is the one truly in charge of Faulkner Group right now. If Charice has been secretly observing her son this whole time, then she should know that he has already avenged her. Why hasn’t she shown herself yet?” Genevieve shook her head. “I have no idea.”

“I’m curious as to what exactly happened between Cesar and Charice. If Cesar didn’t love her, then why would she fake her death to fool Old Mr. Faulkner? If Cesar loved her, why would he let her stay overseas by herself for so long?” Genevieve let out a huge sigh. “The Faulkner family is keeping a really tight lid on this, so nobody knows that for sure. On top of that, Isabella died four years ago.” She had been investigating that for many years but to no avail. For some reason, Johanna burst out laughing after staring at Genevieve for a few seconds. “What’s so funny?” Genevieve asked in confusion.

Chapter 452 Jack And I Are Not Married

“Genev, don’t you feel you’re living in a fairy tale? I mean, you married three men! As if that wasn’t crazy enough, one of them turned out to be your cousin, and the other your brother! This is something straight out of a romance drama!” Annoyed that Johanna was teasing her when she was being serious, Genevieve shouted, “Jack and I are not married!” “Huh? But I saw you two go to the City Hall back then!” Johanna exclaimed in surprise. “The registration wasn’t successful because Jack forgot to bring some of the required documents. After returning to Dartan, I’d always lose some of the documents on purpose whenever we went to register our marriage,” Genevieve replied while rubbing her forehead. That was why she and Jack had yet to get married after four years. As the Helt family was against her marrying Jack they would’ve tried to prevent it even if she didn’t do anything.

Johanna let out a disappointed sigh. “And here I thought you and Jack were a legally married couple! You could definitely piss Armand off by getting your kids a new father!” “I didn’t get to piss him off, but I am in a pretty bad mood myself. Anyway, I’m going to head over to Resonance Corporation. I’ll be having lunch with Mr. Wasco later in the afternoon,” Genevieve said as she stood up and retrieved her coat from the rack. “What for?” “Mr. Wasco’s daughter loves to play the violin, but she has autism, so Mr. Wasco wants me to teach her to play the violin. I also found out that Mr. Wasco is close with the director of Ashter Airlines. I was hoping to get him acquainted with Cooper.” Johanna held both her hands and said with a giggle, “You need to earn as much money as possible while you can. Specter Corporation will belong to your son when he grows up, and I might just end up becoming your daughter-in-law!” Genevieve simply rolled her eyes in response and made her way into the elevator. “Where are you going?” she asked when she saw Johanna enter the elevator with her. “I contacted Bruce Gable’s manager last night. From what I heard, Bruce’s contract with Coolplay Entertainment will be expiring soon,” Johanna replied with an eyebrow arched. Genevieve frowned. “Bruce Gable? That name does sound kind of familiar.” “He’s the actor who starred in For Elise alongside Sylvie.
